Btw, these images aren't mine, I got them off the internet. Just putting that out there. They're from Harry Potter. Not sure who made them. 

Oh and oh my goodness guys, I forgot that Pansy and Draco were the Slytherin prefects. I'll have to add that in.

The next day Draco and I aren't so cold towards each other and it's nice. I've never been close to people. Except maybe Emily. We attend one more meeting without the Dark Lord and then spend the rest of the day planning and sitting around doing nothing. There are only three days left until school starts again and both Draco and I are going back. I'm a little nervous about it because I'll have to face Emily but I'll have to come clean to her some time anyway. It's inevitable. 

Draco is still quite closed off at times but so am I. He doesn't want me involved in his plan to kill Dumbledore but I'm not really giving him any choice. If I can't avoid joining this side, I better make sure they succeed. I used to think I'd have to make them fail but why? In doing so, I'd condemn Draco and his family. Besides, my mother always taught me to give everything I do, my all. I might not believe in the Dark Lord's cause but maybe, if he wins this round, we can overthrow him later. I just have to keep my friends alive. I'll do whatever it takes.

Time skip... cuz nothing interesting has happened over the course of the three days. 

We saw the Dark Lord one last time last night. He freaked me out, I'm not going to lie. He was ensuring that we would do as he wished. Bellatrix even decided to give us a small taste of the Cruciatus curse to show us what would happen if we failed. Lovely woman. 

So now, we are heading to the train station 9 3/4. I still look like a vampire so there's that as well. I'm not sure how the students at Hogwarts will react but I'm sure it won't be great. I never got to see my vampire family over the break but I'm hoping to get in touch with Caelum and Serah soon so we can see each other again. 

We arrive at the station and I find myself hiding behind Draco a lot. I look around for Emily and spot her, Lydia, and Marie all standing together in a tight circle. A longing burns within me as I watch them look around before getting on the train. I just want to be a regular girl and have fun with my friends. I can't fool myself though, I am not a regular girl, I never have been. I'm a monster that could single handedly take out every kid on the train. I wait a minute before boarding the train myself with Draco. I try to keep my chin up and my eyes straight as we pass the little rooms. Eventually, we'll pass Emily and I don't want to attracted attention. 

We gild towards the back and I notice as we pass Emily's room. Out of the corner of my eye, I see her get up in surprise and rush towards the door. I keep walking and push Draco to go a little faster. He looks back at me with a glare until he sees Emily, Lydia, and Marie. 

"Rosetta!" 

"Rose, stop!" They yell at me.

I try to keep going but Emily grabs my arm.

"Rose! What's wrong? What happened to you?" 

I take a deep breath trying to calm myself and spin around to face her with my red eyes blazing, "Nothing."

"Oh my... Rose.. your eyes." 

"I'm aware." I say coldly. 

I don't want to be mean but this is the only way to keep her safe. I have to keep her in the dark about all of this. I can't be close to her. 

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine Emily. I just went to stay with my father over the break. Then, I destroyed the werewolf half of myself and nearly the human part too."
