"Breaking news just in...last night saw the tragic death of a young wizard, Mr Draco Malfoy. The rumours are that he was killed, not with a wand, but with a gun by his girlfriend, or should I say ex-girlfriend, Holly Gordon. Holly, if you are listening to this, there is only one thing to say to you, 'Shot to the heart, and your to blame, darlin' you give love a bad name'. To all our listeners, come back later when we'll hopefully have more information."

*Flashback to previous night*

Holly was a beautiful young girl, she had everything she needed, and was going out with the gorgeous Draco Malfoy, what more could she want? The Slytherin common room was empty, everyone was at the big Quidditch final between Slytherin and Gryffindor, but not Blaise and Holly.

"Blaise, we have to get rid of him. We can't go on like this"

She tried to push him away, but his hands were held firm on her back.

"Blaise I'm serious, we need to do something."

"Hun, we can work that out later, but right now, we're alone, in case you haven't noticed."

"Hmm...you make a good point Mr Zabini."

Won over, she began to unbutton his shirt which was made difficult by Blaises' hands exploring all over her body.

Suddenly, the portrait swung open," Hol we won! You should have seen their little faces! Holly! Holly?"

Draco stood, his face was slowly dropping.

"Blaise, get off her! I thought you were my friend. Can't you tell she doesn't want you? Answer me!"

"Draco, you honestly can't think she loves you anymore, she may have done once, but she's with me now!"

Draco just stood there, he was seething with anger, but his eyes were filling with tears.

"Hol...is this..is this true?"

Suddenly, as Holly stood up, Draco could see she wasn't't that young, innocent little girl anymore.

"Of course it's true Draco! I did love you, once. You were the Quidditch team captain, a seeker, and the most popular boy in school, what more could a girl need to make her centre of attention? But now, now I'm with Blaise, he's the one I'm' supposed to be with, he loves me, and I-I love him."

With that, a huge grin appeared across Blaise's face, she had never said those three words to him or even about him, he always just assumed that she loved him.

"There's only one problem, Draco,"she spat out his name like it was dirt in her mouth, "I was stupid when I was going out with you, and I told you things I never should have, so I'm afraid we're going to have to sort that out."

A large group of rather drunk and cheery Slytherins walked into the common room. When they saw Draco standing there crying, and Holly and Blaise opposite him, silence fell rapidly and everyone observed the situation from the sidelines.

"Go on, what are you planning on doing? Are you going to kill me off or something? Huh?" He laughed nervously.

Holly stood still for a minute, before solemnly looking Draco in the eye.

"Holly, your not going to kill me? A-are you?"

"I'm sorry, there's no other way"

Holly pulled a gun out of her pocket, she thought it would be better this way, and even though she was still going to murder, she just couldn't bring herself around to the use of an unforgivable curse.

Draco looked around him, pleading with the eyes of his fellow Slytherins, but everyone just avoided his glare.

"Blaise! Holly...please...no! Hol?"

Holly raised the gun, aiming straight for his heart, and bang. Draco Malfoy was dead.
