(Ginny's Pov)
The next morning
We weren't surprised Aurelia snuck out.

Cho explained what happened last night.
We were stunned.

"I don't know what to say." Said Hermione.
"You think shes gonna come to class tomorrow?"
"I have no idea." Said Cho.

The four of us headed to Aurelias dorm to check on her.

"Aurelia you in there? We wanna make sure everything's okay." Said Luna.

No answer.

(Draco's Pov)
I told the guys what happened.
"She's strong as hell." Said Theo,
"That's crazy." Said Enzo.

"I fucking hate that cunt. I don't even care about the memory anymore." I said.

"If that isn't a sign we should forget about her,
I don't know what is." Said Enzo.

"You're right. Enzo thanks for stopping me last night." Said Theo.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I was gonna tell her she looked pretty, but I didn't." Said Theo.

Aurelia looked beautiful, flawless in fact.
Pink was her color, she looked like a dream.
If she hadn't done what she did, drunk me would've made a move on her.

"I gotta meet Astoria now."
I owe her an apology. I knocked on her door, and Daphne answered.

I saw Astoria on her bed.
She looked incredibly upset.

I sat next to her and rubbed her back.
"Don't listen to Aurelia okay?"

Astoria looked at me with watery eyes.

"Is what she said true?"
"Baby I'm sorry." Said Daphne.
Astoria nodded, and I sat her in my lap.

"Daph told me to give you attention so you'd stop going after older men. That's how it started, but now I consider you one of my closest friends."

"Only friends?" She Astoria.
"Yes baby." I said.

"I understand."

"You do?" I asked kissing her cheek.
She nodded and stood up.

"Thanks for everything." She said.

"Of course. And I'm always gonna be here for you." I said rubbing her shoulders.

She stepped back.

"No more shagging, kissing, touching, nothing.
If I wanna move on this needs to stop."
Said Astoria.

"Understood." I said.

Astoria leaped into my arms and cried.
"One last hug."
I held her close.

She pulled away and I grabbed her face.
"You're gonna find so much better than me,
promise." I said.

I wiped Astorias eyes, and kissed her forehead.
Daphne led me to the door and pulled me outside.

"You've kept Astoria safe for a while, but we knew this couldn't last forever." Said Daphne.
