A HAIR BRUSH IN HER HANDS, Sowon looks up at the mirror and brushes through her straight brown hair

A HAIR BRUSH IN HER HANDS, Sowon looks up at the mirror and brushes through her straight brown hair. It was an odd sight to see. No bangs to be exact. For her whole life she's always had bangs but now without them she felt weird and also a feeling of something fresh and new.

Perhaps she did look better without bangs she notices. Biting her lips, she puts down the hair brush and walks out of the Grimmauld Place. With a flick of her wand the place disappears and she heads to the train station. Today was the first day back at Hogwarts and she could tell by just walking into the runway that every student didn't want to be there.

It was an odd sight to see Death-Eaters around her actually showing themselves without being scared. Sowon looks around at the families near her who were hugging their kids as if they were going to be sent to war. Taking a deep breath, Sowon steps forward towards the train when she feels a hand hover against her shoulder. She turns on her heel and eyes the person behind her. It was her father.

"Dad!" Sowon yells, happily. She leans forward and places him into a hug, which catches him by surprise but he hugs back once he calms down. Once they both pull back, Sowon pulls her arms up and does the movements of asking 'What are you doing here?'

"It's your last year I have to be here to send you off at least once," Her father moves his hands around. Instead of the girl being mad at him for getting out of the house she was happy to see him here. This was the first time and the last time he would send her off to school.

Suddenly the train whistles making the girl say her goodbyes to her father and rushes onto the train. Sitting down by herself in a compartment by herself, Sowon places her hand on the window and watches the train move past the hills. This was her last and final year at Hogwarts, but with the Death-Eaters controlling it and Snape as Headmaster, she thinks last year was her last and this year didn't count.

Taking her hand off the window, she puts it on her heart necklace. Sowon closes her eyes for just a second and then opens them and finds Draco sitting down in front of her. Blinking, Sowon shakes her head and closes her eyes, then opens them back up and no one was there. She was imagining again.

Suddenly the door of the compartment opens and Ginny, Luna, and Neville comes running in. Ginny rushes up to the girl and pulls her into a hug. Luna and Neville awkwardly stands behind the ginger hair girl.

Ginny pulls back from the hug first, "Sowon, are you alright? Is Harry, Ron, and Hermione alright too?"

"They're fine, I'm fine." Sowon says, nodding over to the empty spot next to her. Ginny quickly sits down next to the girl and Luna takes the seat next to her on the other side while Neville sits in front of them.

"You don't know how much we were worried about you, Sowon," Neville comments, looking down at his hands that were folded on his lap.

"Yeah?" Sowon asks, looking between the three with a blank expression.

Luna nods, "Of course we were worried about you! You're our friend."

For the first time in what felt like forever a smile went across her lips. Nodding, Sowon looks up at her friends with a smile. "We've missed your smile," Ginny comments, making Luna and Neville both nod, agreeing with her.

"Ah, well I think I need to change," Sowon says, feeling tears curl up in her eyes and not wanting to cry in front of them. The words that they spoke meant the world to her and they cut deep inside her heart. She'll forever remember this moment as she will always remember the moment of when her and Draco first kissed.




















ARRIVING AT HOGWARTS AND IN THE GREAT HALL, it felt darker, it made Sowon shiver in fear. Placing her hands on either side of her arms, she rubs them together to make her goosebumps go away. Sitting down at the Hufflepuff table, Sowon looks around to find there were lesser students than there were last year.

She wouldn't blame them if they didn't want to come back to Hogwarts. Sowon would've sat with Luna at the Ravenclaw's table but with the Carrows known Death-Eaters pairings walking around she felt it was best to sit at her house table for now.

Everytime she turned her head to look behind her, she saw the Carrows staring back at her. Sowon looks up at the teachers who were all shaking holding their cups, she connects eyes with Slughorn who eyes widen. He was surprised to see her instead of being with Harry and his friends. Slughorn quickly looks away not wanting the Carrows to notice him staring.

After Snape's big speech, Sowon takes notice to all the teachers become shaky under his glares. Taking one bite of her chicken she's the first one to stand up and without the care in the world she walks out of the Great Hall.

Walking into the Hufflepuff's common room, Sowon takes notice of everyone's stares as they all climb into the room. She knew they were all whispering about Harry and her's friendship and they were wondering why she was here as everyone knew about them and the professors were definitely suspicious of her.

Laying down in her bed, Sowon looks up at the ceiling and places a hand on her heart shape necklace. Once more, she feels calm. Snatching it off her neck, she opens it and creases the photo of Draco that lays inside the necklace. She misses him so much.

"I wonder what he's doing? I wonder if he's alright?" Sowon whispers, creasing the photo.

At the Malfoy Manor, Draco leans and looks out the window onto the garden. He runs his hand through his hair and then places his hands on the ledge and taps his feet impatiently. Draco watches his father and one of the Death-Eaters that were about to go back to Hogwarts to help around.

The blonde hair didn't even want to admit that he misses Hogwarts but he truly does. It all because of the Korean girl. He wants to see her. Earlier that day before the students went to Hogwarts, Draco overheard Snape talking with his father about Sowon being sighted on the train heading towards Hogwarts.

The two wondering why Potter would even let his friend come to Hogwarts. The girl was suspicious to the Death-Eaters no doubt so they forced extra watch over her during her time at Hogwarts this year.

Finally his father heads up the stairs and stands next to his son by the window, "Draco. Snape needs your help once every one month at Hogwarts."

"My help? Why?" Draco asks, looking at his father curiously.

"I don't know. But do as he says."
