Draco watched her retreating figure as she ran down the corridor until the door closed and blocked his view. He turned back and caught sight of her belongings that she'd forgotten to take in her panic. He crouched down and thoughtfully pressed a button, jumping back in alarm when music began to play. He listened to a few tracks that came up next on her ipod. "If She Knew" by Lemar and "Take Me Back" by Tinchy Stryder and Taio Cruz. The lyrics struck him as appropriate. After pressing a button at random the songs started playing again. He listened to the two tracks over and over until he knew certain lyrics off by heart.
"If she knew how bad
I wanna make this work.
How my heart belongs to her
She wouldn't be able to walk away.
If she knew how bad
I gotta have her close.
If I ever let her go
I wouldn't make it a single day.
She would never have to ask if...
If she knew how bad."
And
"I'm sorry I misleaded you
Pretty lady.
I'm sorry I mistreated you
Pretty lady.
I'm sorry that I hurt you
Pretty lady.
Girl all I need it know is,
Can you take me back?"
"How appropriate the first one is for Diggory" he thought.
"And how appropriate the second one is for me" because he had mistreated her. When they had both first come to Hogwarts he'd barely noticed her, she was just another Gryffindor girl. Not a mudblood, not a pureblood. Not ugly, just normal. "How people change" he mused. He didn't mock her as he did others, but he did bump into her in corridors, causing the books in her arms to fall and yet, he'd just keep walking.
He picked up her belongings, thinking about all the times he hadn't and turning out the light started the long walk back down to the Slytherin Common Room.
Creeping into his dorm that he shared with Blaise Zambini, he stashed her things in his bedside table before sighing deeply and settling down.
He went to sleep that night with her face and the song lyrics playing softly in his mind.
