SNOW FLIES DOWN ON ME GENTLY AND I HOLD MY QUILL IN MY FINGERS AS I WRITE A LETTER. My head is poking out of the large exit window in the Owlery. A snowflake lands on my nose.

I seal the letter and move over to place it in an owl's beak. I stroke its head and it flies from the large window. I go to leave the Owlery and Harry walks up it, a letter in his hand, also addressed to Padfoot. I flash him a slight smile and move to walk past him. Harry does the same but each time we move, the other does the same.

I put my hands on his arms and move our bodies around. Harry stares at me softly and his eyes move to my nose. "You have a snowflake." He gently moves it from my noise. I give him a slight smile and take in a breath.

"I'm sorry if I hurt you by going with Malfoy, I would go with anyone else but him. And I can go with anyone else, but in return with going with him, I'm allowed a favour. And I know it doesn't make up for me to go with the person who's been horrible towards you and your friends since your first year here, but a favour from a Malfoy is a good favour to have." I explain to him.

Harry nods at me with a slight smile. "And after the first dance, I'll be free to do what I want and he can go with the girl he wants to go with." Harry frowns slightly. "Malfoy wants to go with someone, then why doesn't he?" He asks me. "He didn't tell me why, he only wanted me to go with him because I'm a pureblood and he wants to chase Pansy away,"
