In another part of the castle there sat a boy, his stormy grey eyes full of hatred as he stared into the blazing flame before him. "How dare he make me live the life in his shadows!" He mentally shouted in his head. "How dare he make my life a misery, I could have been happy. I should have been happy!"

He suddenly was snapped back to reality when he felt a hand of his shoulder. He quickly spun around and saw a tall skinned boy and, a small fair skinned girl stood behind him.

"Hey buddy," the tall boy said.

"What do you want Blaise!" The boy snapped.

"Wow, Drakie are you okay?" the girl asked. Draco's eyes let out a sigh and, his eyes seemed to soften a little. "Yeah, sorry." He apologized. Blaise shrugged his shoulders as he took the seat beside Draco. "It's okay man," he said as he put a hand on his shoulder once again. "You seem lost in thought what's wrong?" The boy asked his Italian accent echoing off the walls. "Just thinking," Draco said with another sigh.

"About what Draco?" The girl asked as she sat in the chair opposite the boys.

The young wizard looked out towards the burning flames once again and then spoke. "About my past, our past." He said. The other two teens looked at each other with worry and then back at Draco. "What about it?" The girl asked.

"About how screwed up it was, Pansy" Draco snapped.

Pansy shrunk into the back of the chair in fear she had never seen Draco this angry or even lost before and, to be honest, it did scare her. Draco looked at Pansy and, he knew that he overstepped the mark when he saw the glint of fear flash in her eyes. He rose slowly from his seat and walked over to her. He knelt in front of the frightened witch and placed a hand on her leg as a comforting gesture.

"I'm sorry Pans," he said his eyes full off sorrow. Pansy relaxed a bit under his touch, she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. "It's okay," she said truthfully.

"No, it's not I shouldn't have raised my voice like that it wasn't fair on you," Draco said his body seemed to relax in her warm embrace.

They stayed like that for another couple of minutes before they both heard someone clearing their throat behind them, they both pulled away and looked over and saw Blaise sat with a smile on his face. "As much as I am in love with this brother and sister bond we need to go and get something to eat," Blaise said. Draco looked at Pansy and, she nodded her head knowing that Blaise was telling the truth.

Blaise was the first one to rise to his feet followed by Draco who reached his hand out to help Pansy to her feet. The three of them leaving the cold dark dungeon and up to the Great Hall.
