Rescue Me
new rough idea for a story lol set in HBP
Rescue Me
Draco stood off the Astronomy Tower’s balcony. The north wind blew in gusts with a numbing cold that stabbed him straight through his body, yet he did not shiver. He realized that he couldn’t feel much of anything anymore. The Astronomy Tower grew more and more fascinating as of late. He liked the comforting solitude-and the height. Some nights he wanted to just pitch himself off the tower and be done with it. Tonight was one of those nights.
Draco leaned against the rail and looked at the horizon. It was beautiful. The full moon casted silver highlights onto the lake and shadowy mountains all but called to him. But he could not go. He knew that he would be found easily. Draco also knew he was safe here for now or even better in a nasty heap at the foot of the castle. He looked down. It was such a long way.
He shook his head and sighed. Maybe tonight was the night. He knew he didn’t want to kill Dumbledore nor did he ever want to see Voldemort again. His heart began to beat wildly as he stepped on the rail. He felt tears burn down his cheeks as he prepared to climb over it.
“MALFOY!!” yelled a familiar voice.
Draco nearly jumped out of his skin and rolled his eyes when he saw Potter walk into the moonlight.
“What do you want Potter.” Draco choked.
“I want you to get off that rail.” He replied.
Draco turned and looked down again, “How noble of you…I’m touched.” He spat, his voice dripping with disdain
“Malfoy, did you hear me? I said come down from there.” Harry said again with a bit more force when Draco didn’t listen.
“Of course I heard you. What if I rather be up here. It looks peaceful from up here…almost innocent.” Draco drawled.
Harry stood next to him, “you’re right it does. Now, why don’t you just come down and tell me what’s wrong.”
Draco glanced down at him and sighed.
Harry held out a hand to help him down, “Come on.” He encouraged.
Draco took his hand and stepped down.
“It seems you come up here quite a lot” Harry said.
Draco gave him a questioning look, “And how would you know that, Potter.”
Harry shrugged off the question, “Just a guess.”
