-Y/n's POV-
I was running downstairs, barefoot, at almost 12 in the evening, for I heard someone playing the piano and was sure that it was Draco, for the reason that I found myself sleeping next to no one.
It has been days and Draco has been upset because of the upcoming war that Hogwarts will be facing, but he doesn't show his frown whenever he looked at me as if everything was just alright. Although, I would catch him staring down at his book without reading it, would notice that he would stay up late even though I was next to him.
It saddens me, truly, and I couldn't think of anything to make him happy. I have done so much to make him happy, but he would only return with a weak smile and it just hurts me.
I pushed the door open and saw Draco looking down on the piano whilst playing a sad tune, slowly.
I swept my feet on the floor and sat down next to him, laying my head against his shoulder and reaching for his hand, holding it.
"You don't need to hide how upset you are, Draco." I sighed.
"I'm sorry..." He apologized, his voice was low and calm.
"Why are you apologizing?" I looked up at him, pressing my chin on his shoulder and meeting his beautiful eyes.
"Because I made you worried."
"You don't need to apologize. I understand you." I placed my head back on his shoulder, looking down at our hands with our wedding rings fitting perfectly on them.
"You know..." He began. "Every time I see you, every time whenever I'm with you, you always make me smile, regardless of what is happening right now. You are my moon in my night." He lifted my chin up, looking at him with the smile I wanted to see. "You are..." She planted a kiss on my lips, causing me to smile. "You are my everything."

I made my way to the library whilst the tiny droplets of rain, tapped on the glasses of every window around the Manor. It was a cold day and a perfect day to read a book whilst waiting for Draco to wake up from his afternoon sleep.
Upon walking through the hallway, I caught eyes with Michael and he gave me a weak smile as we passed by each other.
Perhaps, I should talk to him like Draco said and discuss the matter that happened a month ago.
I turned around, seeing Michael, two feet away from me.
"Michael!" I called.
He turned his head to me and spoke, "Yes?"
"Can I speak to you?"
☁︎︎ ❀ ☁︎
Michael and I are at the library whilst my eyes, scanned through the shelves, finding the perfect book to read.
"Michael," I began, breaking the silence in between us as I picked out a book from the bookshelf. "I do apologize for upsetting you when I said-"
"It's ok, Y/n." He smiled, his dimples were showing. "I understand you and I know your feelings are certain for my cousin." He leaned against the bookshelf with his hands in his pockets.
"But I still do apologize, truly." I smiled weakly, sitting down on the chair whilst looking up at him. "Mainly because I've hurt you."
"Well, you're forgiven then." He chuckled, pulling out a book from the bookshelf. "How are you by the way?"
"Good. You?"
He nodded.
"Although, I must say something to you?" He uttered, putting the book back in its perspective place.
"Go ahead." I smiled, allowing him to tell me so.
He sighed and bit his lower lip, hesitant about it, but he still chose to speak about it.
"My father and I are to leave for Massachusetts in a week." He told.
"What?" My eyes widened.
"Father told me that it is not safe for me to stay here and that I should not join the battle so I would not have enemies."
"But what about your mother?" I asked.
He smiled again and looked down on his fiddling fingers.
"You should know that Mother and Father never truly loved each other." He stated. "It was an arranged and a loveless marriage. That's why father's going to divorce her."
"Oh...I'm sorry to hear that." I furrowed my brows.
"It's alright." He sighed. "Although, even though they have a loveless marriage, I still love them. And I will still come here to visit my mother, and of course, you and Draco." He grinned.
I smiled, closing the book from my lap. I was truly happy that Michael and I fixed the problem between us and I was able to see him as my friend again. However, it's just sad that he's leaving, especially now that we're on good terms now.
"I'll miss you, you know," I told. "You must not forget to inform Luna and Daphne."
"I wouldn't." He chuckled.
I stood up from the chair and walked to him to give him a hug. He hugged back.
"Thank you for everything, Michael." Then, I pulled away.
"Thank you too." He smiled again.
"I must truly go back. Draco might wake up any moment." I chuckled, walking to the door.
"Draco's asleep?" He asked, chuckling, causing me to turn around and look at him.
"I begged him to take an afternoon sleep since he wasn't able to get some sleep because of the-"
"The war." He continued.
"Yes." I sighed. "He hasn't been able to rest much because of thinking of it. But I'm truly grateful that we are able to fix whatever is keeping our friendship apart."
"Me too."
Silence was uttered between us whilst smiling at each other, feeling happy that we could talk comfortably again like we used to.
"I should best be going." I broke the silence.
"I'll see you later then."
-Draco's POV-
I woke up from my afternoon sleep and saw Y/n by my side, sitting and resting her back on the headboard whilst reading a book.
I noticed it was a cold and gloomy day, and it was raining non-stop outside as the tiny droplets of rain tapped on the window.
I admired her for a moment whilst she was very into the book and I didn't bother to disturb her. She flipped to the next page, smiling with those beautiful lips that I adore, with those beautiful dark eyes set upon the book, busy reading each and every sentence of the page.
As she took a glimpse at me, she noticed that I was staring at her and it made her cheeks rosier than it was.
"You...You're already awake." Her face was flustered as she cleared her throat and closed the book from her lap.
I pulled her down and hugged her into my arms.
"What are you doing?" She giggled
"Admiring such a beautiful girl in front of me, of course." We both smiled. "You're face is beautiful." I gave her a kiss on her forehead. "You're eyes are beautiful." She closed her eyes and I kissed one of them, then she opened them after. "You're nose is beautiful." I planted another kiss. "You're cheeks are beautiful." Then, another and looked at her lips.
"Are my lips beautiful too?" She asked, grinning.
I smiled and kissed her on the lips, then I replied, "You are perfect."
She hugged me tight and dug her face on my chest.
"I have spoken with Michael as you said." Her voice was a bit faint because her face was still pressed on my chest, but she pulled her head away to look at me. "We're on good terms now." She smiled.
"See, I told you. I know you can fix it." I smiled, proud that she was able to get rid of the heavy problem from her chest.
"Although, he and his father are leaving for Massachusetts in a week." She stated.
"Oh..."
"You must reconcile with him, Draco. You shouldn't hold a grudge towards him. He's your cousin."
