Joanna's POV
I walked out of Charms feeling extremely happy. I hadn't been able to focus on anything lately, I mean, I got asked to the dance by Ronald Weasley! My mind wanders to our kiss, him screaming at Lavender, him giving me blush-filled smiles. I get caught up in my thoughts as I bump into someone.
"Hey!" Ron yelps. I can't help the huge goofy smile that makes it way to my face. He smiles back down at me as I wrap my small arms around his waist.
"Hey," I say into his chest. He smells strangely of strawberries, but I push it aside. "How was Potions?"
"Hell." He replies bluntly, wrapping his arms around my shoulders. We walk down the corridor getting curious glances from a few first years as Ron kisses my forehead. I smirk at them, too happy to care.
"It's about time you've got a girl, Weasley. Did you pay her?" A snooty voice asks Ron. We both turn around, our smiles turning to scowls.
"Go away, Malfoy." I snap, unwrapping Ron's arm from my shoulders as I stomp towards Draco. Ron holds me back but then I hear him chuckle slightly as he lets me go and I rush to the devil. Draco's eyes widen but he regains his cool when he realizes I'm almost half a foot shorter than him.
Curse my shortness.
"You better flick off Malfoy, or I'll do things to you beyond you're wildest nightmares."
"You mean my wildest dreams? And I'm sure you could." He whispers to me seductively, tucking a strand of my blonde hair behind my ear. My body shivers at his cold touch and a blush creeps onto my cheeks. What the...?
WHOMP.
Draco Malfoy flies about six feet down the corridor and I turn around. Ron is standing right next to me, arm still outstretched from the hit. I let out a breath of air that I had no idea I was holding in and look at Ron's face, full of worry and expecting my reaction. I just look at his hand and take it, pulling him down the corridor, away from the boy who caused me to blush, something I thought only Ron could do.

I look at my hands as I sit in my four-poster bed. Lexi sits in her bed, curled up in her covers with a box a tissues by her side. Her best friend Cho Chang passed a few days ago, and she hasn't been her humorous old self since. Levisa strides in, stopping when she sees all the depression in the girls dormitory.
"What the hell is going on in here?" Levisa snaps staring at us with frowned eyebrows.
"Well hello to you too." Lexi sniffles, making me smile a bit.
"I don't need mouth, seriously, what's up?" She presses us.
"The sky." I sigh, falling back into the bed. "Flick off, Levisa."
"Humph!" I hear her stomp off and sigh a satisfied sigh.
"Thanks for getting her out of here, Joanna." Lexi tells me as she sits up. Her face is red and I can see tear stains still refusing to dry. "She needs someone to put her heart in the toaster."
"What?" I laugh, sitting up to face her. "Put her heart in a toaster?"
"Yeah, like to warm her heart. Her heart is really cold." She says to me as I let out a crazy loud laugh. She raises her eyebrows but laughs with me.
"I was imagining like an actual human heart cooking in the toaster," I say after our laughs subside. "Ew, now that I think about that, it sounds so gross."
"You think?" Lexi chuckles, pretending to gag. She gets up from her bed and walks into the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower, lets take a walk after, OK?"
