Before they knew it it was Easter break and Haley still hadn't looked at or spoken to Neville.

He would only look at her and hope she'd look at him back. But would never get it back.

He wasn't allowed to Grimauld Place now so he was staying with his gran. Like she said in the howler she was furious at him.

Haley had finished occlumency lessons last week but could still hear what's going on.

She was sitting in her room all day and all night for the past two days. They don't know if Kreacher has been giving her some food or not.

She had done either wandless or accidental magic and kept her door to locked for anyone other then her to open the door. Sirius, Remus and Peter were worried about her and so were her friends. Even with Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred and George there she still won't come out.

Ron and Hermione had written a letter to Neville telling him what she's doing now.

He was sitting in his room reading the letter.

Dear Neville,

From day one she hasn't gotten out of her room. We've all tried to unlock the door or tell her she needs to get out but it's impossible to unlock it! We don't know if she did wandless or had accidental magic. We don't know if she's been eating anything either. We don't know if Kreacher has been giving her food. You need to think of something to get her to believe you. She may not look at you like she used to but we can tell that she still feels hurt and love for you. She automatically got back into her old self like she never met us even though she has me and Ron. It hurts all of us. None of us can get her out of her room. Me, Ron, Fred, George, Ginny, Mr. & Mrs. Weasley, Sirius, Peter or Remus. Peter can't even get in through his animagus! And he's a rat! So she must be using a lot of her magic. As a pureblood you know the Potter family. How strong, rich and old they are. Try and think of something for when we get back to school,

Hermione

He sat there thinking.

When they got back to school Haley still hadn't said anything to him.

She was on her way to the Chamber of Secrets to get some space for herself.

Neville saw her walking there and followed her.

When she opened it then jumped down Neville did the same thing.

When he got there he saw her pacing. He quietly walked over to her but stepped on a rock causing her to hear him.

Then she turned around and took out her wand.

"Who's there?" he said and aimed something at them causing Neville to fall on his back then sat up.

When he looked up he saw her standing there quietly with her wand in her hand.

He gulped. Everyone knows how strong of a witch she is and that she loses her temper easily. And are starting to think Daphne Greengrass should be the Ice Princess and Haley the Ice Queen. Even the Slytherins were thinking about that.

"How did you get here?" she asked.

"I was looking for you and saw you go to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. So I started to follow you and then the Chamber was open." he said after he stood up.

"Leave." she said.

"Haley please! I love you! And you're my first and best friend!"

"Then why did you cheat on me?"

"I didn't cheat on you!"

"Then what was Hannah doing with you?!" she shouted.

"She put me on a love potion!" he said.

She stood there quietly and looked at him suspicious.

"If you want me to I'll give you a magical oath." he said.

She stood there in shock.

'Maybe he does love me for me.' she thought.

"Fine. Do it." she said.

He took out his wand.

"I, Neville Frank Longbottom swear on my magic that what I said is true. So mote it be." he said.

Then he put his wand up again.

"Lumos!" Then his wand went back on. "See? I didn't cheat on you."

"For right now we're acquaintances, not friends or a couple we're still going to be the Golden Trio until I decide. Deal?"

He nodded and was glad they were a little close.

After that they went back to the common room.

When they got there they saw everyone look at them waiting.

"We're acquaintances right now, not back to the Quartet or a couple, yet." Haley said.

They all nodded.

Then Haley went to write to Sirius, Remus and Peter.

The next day Haley sat next to Neville but didn't look at him.

As usual the entire school had heard about the deal. A lot of them were surprised she would give him a second chance. But then remembered Neville was the person that stayed by her side last year when everyone thought she put her name on the cup.

After breakfast they headed to Charms. Neville sat next to her because there was no open seats.

"We're sitting together today but you're on your own until you get back to the three of us."

He nodded and then listened to Flitwick.

As the time went on the four Gryffindor's got closer. It had been a month since they started to get back and today Haley was going to tell Neville what she thought. Everyone was sitting in the common room waiting.

Ron and Hermione were standing on either side of her.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Neville asked.

"To tell you that I made my decision." Haley said.

"And?" he asked nervously.

"We have the Gold Quartet back. And a couple if you want." she said.

Neville automatically put her in his arms and his lips on her's.

While he did that she shut her eyes and put her arms around him.

The fellow Gryffindor's smiled at that.

When they were done they smiled at each other. Then Neville remembered something.

"Hold on a second." he said smiling.

Then he went to the boys dormitory. They all stood there confused. When he came back he had something behind his back.

"Close your eyes." he said smiling.

She was confused but did as told.

While she waited she felt something go around her neck and in her hand.

"Ok, open." he said smiling.

So she opened her eyes and saw her locket and pieces she got rid of.

She smiled and gave him a kiss.

"You kept that?" she said.

"Yup. And copied the pictures you got rid of. I wasn't sure if you were going to let me back but I still kept them." he said smiling.

After that they headed to dinner.

When they were done Haley went to write to Sirius, Remus and Peter.

Dear Sirius Remus and Peter,

I gave him another chance. We're the Golden Quartet and a couple again. He gave me the locket he got me for Christmas back on and the pictures I got rid of. That's about it,

Haley

She smiled then headed to Hedwig.

After that she headed to the common room.
