I walk down the corridors looking for Draco. I haven't seen him since we got back from break. Suddenly a door appears on the wall to the left of me. It's got to be the Room of Requirement. I walk inside. There is junk all over the place. It's old furniture, paintings, little knick knacks.

"Draco?" I call out. I stop and look at a bird in a cage. "How did you get stuck in here?"

"Jade?" I turn around and see Draco standing there. "What are you doing here, Love?"

"I was looking for you," I tell him. "I haven't been able to track you down since we got back to school."

"I've been rather busy," Draco tells me.

I nod my head. "I have to tell you something."

He looks at me concerned. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine but... my parents know that you and I are together. I didn't tell them but they found out," I tell him.

Draco nods. "I suppose your parents want you to break up with me."

"They did at first but they could tell how much I care for you, Draco. They understood. They were only twenty when they got married. There was a war going on then too," I tell him.

Draco steps closer to me. "Maybe you should listen to their warning. Maybe you should break up with me."

I take a step back looking at him confused. "You want to break up with me?"

"No. I don't. But... You're not safe so long as you're dating me," Draco tells me.

I laugh. "I'm not safe so long as my parents are Rhonen and Thalia de Meath." Draco sighs. I step closer to him and wrap my arms around his waist. "You're not a threat to me, Draco. Me being with you isn't a threat. I'm not giving up on you."

Apollo and I are sitting in the Great Hall. Glinda and Lloyd are off somewhere. And Fiona is off somewhere with someone she wouldn't tell me about so I can only assume it's Blaise. I notice it's snowing over Ron Weasley.

"What is that all about?" I ask.

Apollo chuckles. "Heard he broke up with Lavender Brown."

I smile as I see Draco walking towards us. Suddenly he freezes. It looks as if he's seen a ghost.

"Draco?" I ask.

He ignores me and rushes out of the Great Hall. I follow after him. I follow him right into the lavatory.

"Draco?" I ask.

He rips his vest off over his head. I step closer to him. "Draco." I turn the water on in the sink. "Take a breath." Draco splashes the cold water on his face. He looks up at me with tears in his eyes. I rub his back. "I'm here."

"I know what you did, Malfoy." I turn and see Harry standing just inside the doorway. "You hexed her, didn't you?"

Without a word Draco sends a blast of magic towards Harry. Draco shoves me out of the way. Harry casts his own spell back. Harry and Draco dodge one another's blasts. Harry hits a toilet with one causing water to spew out. The last blast comes from Harry. Draco cries out in pain. He's covered in cuts that are pouring out blood. I crouch down beside him taking his hand in mine.

"Draco. God. You're gonna be fine," I tell him.

Snape shows up out of nowhere. He leans down over Draco. "Vulnera Sanentur. Vulnera Sanentur. Vulnera Sanentur."

The spell heals all of Draco's wounds. I let out a sigh of relief.

I chase after Harry. What he just did was beyond reckless. He should be expelled for using a spell like that.
