You’ve had a crush on Draco Malfoy for a long as you could remember. But instead of secret love notes and meet ups on the astronomy tower, your interactions always included silent looks in the hallways, group conversations that don’t go anywhere, and plainly ignoring each other when one gets too close. Safe to say, it’s anything but romantic. So when you overhear Mattheo saying that he needs to give his number to Draco, you have him do something else instead. You have him give away your number.
It’s the eighth year at Hogwarts, rebuilt in the aftermath of the war. The castle is healing, the students are trying to reclaim the lives they were supposed to have, and everyone is determined to move forward. Everyone except Draco Malfoy. He lost the one girl he was certain he would spend the rest of his life with. She was taken during the chaos of the war, and after months of searching, she was presumed dead. There was no body, no goodbye—just an empty space where she used to be. Everyday he sends her a text. Sometimes it’s about how much he misses her. Other times it’s just an “i love you”. He does this everyday. And one day, she responds.
