(Menatapmu dari samping, serasa melihat sisi lain dari dirimu) I see... (Menatap ujung sepatuku, rasanya ingin memelukmu tapi sadar kita tidak sedekat itu) I'm sorry for bringing up painful memories...

It’s not your fault.

(Hanya mengangguk pelan. Tidak tahu mau berkata apa. Perasaan campur aduk rasanya)

(We continued walking, the distance between us growing shorter. The tension of the night's revelations hung in the air, but there was also an undeniable bond forming between us.)

(Sampai di dekat menara Gryffindor)

(Neared the entrance to Gryffindor tower, paused.) This is where I leave you, Arcadia.

(Berhenti berjalan, berdiri menghadapmu, takut-takut melihat ke arahmu)

I never thought I'd see the day when I could have such a meaningful conversation with Draco Malfoy....

(Avoiding giving a response to that) You're welcome.

(Realizing I should express my gratitude rather than stating the obvious) Ah, thank you!! Truly, Malfoy. I— (biting my lip, merasa bodoh sudah bicara seperti tadi)

(Cutting you off) Good night.

Good night, Malfoy. And... thank you again for— everything. (Turning around slowly, heading to the Fat Lady)

Arcadia..

(Terkejut dengar kau memanggilku. Cepat cepat berbalik badan.) (Tatapan penuh tanya) Ya?

The forest is not a place for wishes. Be careful. (Turned and walked away)

(Heart beats fast, lagi-lagi merasa Draco perhatian dan peduli padaku.) (Shaking my heads avoiding the absurd feeling.) (Menatap punggungnya yang menjauh) It's impossible, he doesn't like me that way... (Berbalik badan, menuju lukisan Nyonya Gemuk)
