They say that love can make you do crazy things.
Lorelai herself never thought she would ever fall in love with anyone until one day she was paired up with a certain blond haired Slytherin.

Edward Byrne, being the selfless man he is, offered the Weasley's his home until they were able to repair theirs. Other than the three bedroom occupied by the Byrne family, there were four other bedrooms.
The largest bedroom available went to Molly and Arthur, of course. The twins shared a bedroom just like Ron and Harry shared one and Bill and Fleur shared one. Ginny slept with Lorelai.
Lorelai tried as hard as she could to act happy around everyone, she tried her best to put on a smile and act as if she had nothing weighing down on her conscious. Everyone thought the Death Eater's were there that night for Harry, he thought so himself.
She was drowning with guilt and desperately wanted to say the truth, but to say the truth she would exploit Draco's secret and she couldn't do that to him, she liked him too much. Let's not forget the fact that he had saved her life the night of the incident.
Harry would also never forgive her for hiding the fact that she knew he was a Death Eater and she would most likely be shunned by the Order. Nobody would ever believe a word that came out of her mouth ever again.
She had even made a list of the pro's and con's of sharing the information that she withheld. The con's heavily outweighted the pro's. It was an obvious choice, and even if she wanted yo say the truth, she couldn't.
Since the night of the incident at the Burrow Lorelai hasn't slept very well. Or she would wake up out if the blue in the middle of the night, or she would have nightmares or she wouldn't sleep at all. Voldemort wanted to kill her, Bellatrix Lestrange wanted to kill her. All of the Death Eaters most likely wanted to kill her. She was terrified for her life and for her family's life as well.
She feared that the Death Eaters would come to her house and create the same havoc they created on Christmas Eve, but much to her relief, they didn't.
It was now January 2nd and it was the day she would be going back to Hogwarts. She knew that at Hogwarts she would be safe, no Death Eater could reach her there. But most importantly, she now knew that her father and brother would be safe. No Death Eater would go knocking on their door in search of her.
There were prominent bags under her eyes and she snapped much more easily. Her skin has gotten paler making the already noticable bags under her eyes become even more noticable. Ginny was worried about her friend so she decided to give her a Sleeping Draught.
Lorelai was thankful. The second she entered the compartment she drank half of it hoping that she would get a dreamless sleep. She saved the other half for when she gets to Hogwarts because she knows that she wouldn't be tired enough to fall asleep that night.
Her thoughts come to an end all of a sudden and she feels herself fall into a deep sleep only to be woken up a few minutes later by Hermione Granger, or so she thought. It was nighttime and they had just arrived to Hogsmeade.
