Not able to sleep you slip out of the Slytherin girls dorm room and head into the cold and dark halls of Hogwarts. You had a long day stressed out with so many things and your mind wouldn’t shut off so you decided to head to the astronomy tower hoping to get some alone time under the stars.

Once you make it to the stares of the astronomy tower you begin your long dissent up lost in thought till you start to hear of someone’s voice and it makes you stop. You listen for a moment and you defend recognize the voice but your not sure so you quietly keep moving.

When you can hear better you realize it’s the voice of Theodore Nott a boy you don’t really get along with. You sigh thinking maybe you will head down till you realize he’s actually singing and you can now hear the sounds of an acoustic guitar being played. You move up further then stop right by the door and lean against the wall to listen.

“Wish I was too dead to care, if indeed I cared at all. Never had a voice to protest, so you fed me shit to digest. I wish I had a reason, my flaws are open season. For this, I gave up trying one good deserves my dying.”

You couldn’t help but get lost in his voice the gruff Italian accent sounding good to the song and a slight shiver runs across your skin. But it’s the lyrics that touch you, you know they mean something to him. His home life is t good with his dad and you know it. You sigh wanting to hear more so you learn around the door to see him sitting on the floor playing the guitar.

“You don’t need to bother, I don’t need to be. I’ll keep slipping farther.but once I hold on, I won’t let go ‘til it bleeds.”

His voice rings out in the tower and for the first time your heart lurches for him. The song resonating with you and your own struggles.

You watch as he now just strums on the guitar and you have an urge to show yourself.
