Chapter 87 - The Christmas Eve Party

December had already started, which meant winter was here. I always loved the cold weather, which only a few people loved. I was back to normal. No wheelchair, no babying around. Thank Merlin.

Everything was normal, but it didn't seem like it. We- I still hadn't figured it who tried to kill me, or what they wanted. I couldn't figure it out why Draco broke up with me, after what we've been through, he wouldn't do such a thing. It was suspicious as to why there was always a teacher near me, whenever I went to my lessons. Being guarded at all times, I couldn't go the Astronomy Tower as well.

It had been weeks since I went there. It had been weeks since I saw the night sky filled with thousands and thousands of shining stars. It had been weeks since I saw the lake, peacefully sitting between the mountains. It had been weeks since I saw the blooming moon.

Moon.

I smiled when I reminisced Draco's words.

My dear darling,

If the moon smiled,
She would resemble you.

You leave the same impression of something so beautiful,

But annihilating.

Love,

Draco Malfoy

I smiled and took out another letter from my nightstand, which had all the letters that Draco had ever written to me.

My dear darling,

All I want is to be your

Moon

And show you all the little stars of my heart!

Love,

Draco

I picked up another note...

My dear darling,

When your eyes met mine,

My soul pointed at you and whispered to my heart,

"Her..."

Love,

Draco

This time I couldn't smile, He promised to never leave me. He promised me the world. But he still left. A stray tear fell out of my right eye, which Ginny took quick notice of.

"Livia" she said standing up from her bed. She came beside me, taking the parchment from my hand. She looked at me, but I stared at the bouquet of green roses he gave me, in our sixth year. How he compared his love to those roses, which were artificially made so that they would last forever.

But guess what, forever is a lie.

Ginny sighed as she read the note, she looked at me and hugged me tightly. Everyone may think I was getting better, but I wasn't. I would cry myself to sleep every night. Not getting enough sleep was showing, but thank Jesus for makeup.

A long, tight hug from you would be perfect right now...

I thought of Draco and tried to sleep.

With no luck, I couldn't sleep. No matter how hard I tried. I left the dorm, thinking to go to Astronomy Tower or the Music room, but the minute I opened the door, I saw an Auror, guarding our Tower.

What is an Auror doing in the school? And why is he trying to guard the Gryffindor Tower? Were there any more Aurors surrounding the school or guarding the other houses?
