"It comes and goes. Still... I consider myself lucky. According to Madam Pomfrey, another minute or two... and I could've lost the arm" Draco says to his Slytherin gang as me, Harry, Ron and Hermione watch from the Gryffindor table.

"The little git. He's really laying it on thick, isn't he?"Ron asks

"At least Hagrid didn't get sacked" Harry says

"Yes. But I hear Draco's father's furious. I don't think we've heard the end of this" I tell them

"He's been sighted!" Seamis says as he comes over and we all huddle over a copy of The Daily Prophet.

"Who?" Ron asks but the photograph on the Prophet's front page provides a chilling answer: Sirius Black.

"Ducktown? That's not far from here" Mione says reading the prophet

"You don't think he'd come to Hogwarts, do you?"Neville asks

"With the Dementors at every entrance?"Dean asks

"Dementors? He's already slipped by them once, hasn't he? Who's to say he can't do it again?"Seamus asks 

"That's right. Black could be anywhere. It's like trying to catch smoke. Like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands"Lee says and with all the talk of my father nearby and possibly coming here, I can no longer take it. I get up and walk out of the Hall ignoring the calls of my name, I walk straight up to the astronomy tower and lean on the railing looking out at the grounds. I feel tears running down my cheeks wiping them away, I hear footsteps approach from behind me and it's not long before i have a pair of arms rapped around me.

"I can't take it anymore George. People talking and whispering when they see me, people talking about my dad wanting to kill me. What if he gets into Hogwarts and is then going to wait for an opportunity to kill me or worse to kill Harry? Why is this happening? Why can't things just be simple for once?" I rant on to George as tears roll down my cheek

"Lola you are one of the bravest and strongest person I know, of anyone can get through it it's you. So what if people whisper things behind your back just ignore them. Your father isn't going to get in and he's not going to kill you" George says reassuring me so I turn and face him

"You promise?" I ask him as he wipes away my tears

"Here's my promise"George says and next thing I know his lips are placed on mine and I literally feel fireworks inside of me and I can't help but kiss back. After a moment we pull apart and he smiles down at me and I smile back it was literally everything I ever wanted a kiss to be. "Say Miss Black how would it be if you accompanied me to Hogsmeed this weekend" George asks me

"Well Mr Weasley as you know I am a very busy lady but I suppose I could make room for you" I say with a smile
