You were slithering quietly across a cold stone floor. You could taste someones smell in the air. It was Lupin. You slithered down the hall quickly. His back was to you giving you an advantage. You wrapped yourself around his leg quickly trapping him. You bit him once, twice, until you were satisfied. There wasn't enough venom to kill him. You slithered quickly away. You stopped and stayed still for a moment. You tasted another smell. Moody's. You followed the sent till you reached him. You hissed loudly. He spun around staring at you, his magical eye swinging vividly. He surveyed you. "(Y/N)" he whispered. You nodded. You flicked your tongue turning to the direction of the injured Lupin. You heard Moody clunking behind closely. When you reached Lupin he was sitting against the wall huddling. Moody looked at you and nodded. You slithered back down the dark passage from which you came.

Both you and Harry shot straight up to see yourself sitting in Nevilles bed. You were breathing heavy as was Harry. He looked over to you. His face white as snow. His hands gripping the sheets. You gave a weak smile. He gave you a horrified look. You gave a puzzled frown. The curtains were drawn around the bed but there were people speaking beyond them. You drew the curtains earning a shout for Ron. He was looking you in the eyes but not looking quite into them. "What is it?" You said standing. Neville bit his lip and handed you a close mirror. You stared at you refection with astonishment. Your eyes, they were red with snake like slits. Like the ones you had seen in your nightmares for years. You rubbed them furiously. You heard a high pitch laugh and were terrified to find it coming from you. You clasped your hands over your mouth. "Whats a matter princess?" said the cold ecoing voice. Ron pointed a finger at you "Is he....in you?" He said not daring to take his eyes off you. You nodded. It felt as though someone knocked the wind out of you because you had fallen limply to the ground. "(Y/N)!" Neville yelled. You propped yourself up and looked around. Your scar didnt hurt anymore but your body ached. Harry looked at you and sprung off the bed and pinned you down. "YOU GOT HIM!" He spat. You rolled over so you were above Harry. "Think. I showed Moody. Lupin will be fine. If I hadnt done that we'd all be in trouble. Moody knows. You saw he reconized me." You said holding Harrys wrists. He grunted and threw you off. "Should we see Dumbledore?" Neville said helping Harry up. "No. Everyone will be fine." You said sighing. Harry rubbed his temple. "You sure?" He said. You nodded. "Well this has been..." George said after a moment or so of silence. "Im so sorry." You said rushing to the door and wrenching it open and flinging yourself down the stairs. You heard Neville shouting your name. You sprinted threw the porthole and ran down the staircase. You slowed at the bottom of the steps to catch your breath. You wandered down the hall. You shrugged and wandered down the halls. You walked down the staircase to see Draco walking up the stairs. You gasped quietly. He looked up at you and smiled. "Hello (Y/N). Haven't seen you in forever." He said meeting you half way. You frowned. "Whats wrong?" He said towering over you despite being a step below. "Whats wrong you ask? Well..hmmm. Let me think. Maybe that you haven't talked to me since first year. Or you no longer give me a second glance or thought." You hissed. His eyes opened wider. You sighed. "I need to go." You said steping aside. He grabbed your wrist and pulled you back. "What?" He said rasing his eyebrows. You scoffed. "Fine. Walk with me." He said pulling you back up the steps. You starred at him for a moment not know what to do. He pulled you along until you entered the library. You both sat at a table far in the back. "(Y/N) before you say a word I'd like to tell you something very important. Im sorry. I think about you all the time. When I see you I feel a bubbling happiness inside. I miss you." He said reaching over the table grabing both your hands. You were a bit taken back by this. You weren't sure if you had heard him right. "You? Miss me?" You said dumbfounded. "Yes (Y/N)" he said smiling. His eyes narrowed and glared over your shoulder. You felt two hands grasp your shoulders harshly. You whipped around to meet Neville, Harry and Ron's angry gaze. "Dont touch here you filthy Death Eater." Ron growled pulling his wand out. Draco slowly dropped your hands. "What are you doing?" You said forcing a calm tone. "We were worried about you after you ran off shortly after being possessed by Voldemort. And we find you with that." Harry said pointing at Draco. "You were what?" He said. You looked at him but didn't meet his eyes. Neville tightened his grip on you. "Ouch. Let go of me." You said shaking Neville off. "Remember what I said." Malfoy said standing up and striding away. You shot up and attempted to follow only to be grabbed by another two sets of hands. Draco disappeared around the corner and you lost it. "How dare you. Dont ever. Neville you of all people." You hissed ripping yourself out of their hands and rushing out through the door. You immediately let out a sob. Draco addmited that he cared. He really did. And now it was all ruined. You followed the sound of quick footsteps. They stopped around the corner. You sped up wiping your face. You ran around the corner to see Draco. Sitting on the floor with his head resting in his hands. You slowly inched towards him. You slid down the wall next to him wraping your arms around him. He flinched. "(Y/N) Im sorry." He whispered. "Shhh. Its not you." You whispered back. He lifted his head up to look at you. He smiled. "God I missed talking to you." He said placing his thumb on you cheek. You sighed. You had never thought he'd speak to you again. Yet here you are. "So why are you really going to the Room of Requirement." You said grabbing his other hand. He laughed. You cocked your head. "Im going because I wanted to speak to you and Harry actually." He said smiling. You smiled. "You should go. Before they see us. I dont want you to get in trouble." He said letting go of your hand. "Youre right. I'll see you later love." You said before pecking him on the lips. You dashed back to the Gryffindor tower smiling. You reached the portrait "scalawag" you breathed. The portrait swung open and you hustled inside quickly. "Oy! (Y/N) your back!" George cheered. You pressed your finger to your lips. The common room was full of happy chattering Gryffindors. They all turned to face you and stopped speaking. You sighed. People thought you were a maniac. Great. You walked over to the girls staircase without making eye contact with anyone. As you reached your dorm you heard the silence subside downstairs and a loud murmur rising in the air. You closed the door and sank down to the ground. "Oh. Hello." Said a quiet voice from the corner. It was Hermione. Of all people she was the last person you wanted to see. "Hi." You snapped. She sighed "Whats your problem? Why do you hate me so much?" She said slightly louder. You couldnt help but laugh. "Me?Hate you? No no no. You hate me. You always give me the most god awful stares." You said sitting straight. "Thats only because Pansy said you think Im a know it all." She said looking at you wide eyed. "You believe that snake? She absolutely hates me. She'd do anything to get to me." You said smiling. She laughed. "She doesnt like me much either. Harry reckons shes a snake too." She said sitting cross-legged infront of you. You thought about Harry. You immediately felt terrible about what you had said to him. "Speaking of Harry have you seen him, Ron or Neville?" You said standing up and puting on your robes. "No. Not since yesterday." She said standing up. "Okay. I need to find them so I'll be back." You said smiling and jogging down the stairs. You excited the porthole. You didnt know where to look. You were walking around the coner and bumped into someone who was running at full speed. You fell to the ground as did they. You looked up to see Draco panting and out of breath. "Whats wrong?" You said. Before he opened his mouth your questions had been answered. Harry, Ron, and Neville ran ouround the corner stoping next to you. "(Y/N)" Ron panted breathlessly. "Why in the bloody hell are you chasing him down the hallways?" You said helping Draco up. "He...said.." Neville began. He was too tired to continue. "Shh. Dont. I dont care. You go back to your common room." You said kissing Dracos cheek pushing him in the opposite direction. He smiled and walked down towards the dungeons where the Slytherin common room resided. You watched him walk until he disappeared around the corner. You heard a loud obnoxious fake cough uttered from Neville. You spun around. They were all staring at you with shock. "What?" You said smiling. "The bloody fuck was that about?" Ron said. "Oh. We talked." You said. You liked Ron alot and seeing him mad like this wasnt fun. You looked at Harry who seemed too hurt to speak. "Before you say anything else." You said running up to Harry hugging him. He hesitated and hugged back. "Harry Im so very sorry. Youre not a specky, bowl hair cut, eat more wank skinny cunt. I was just angry. I would never say that. I know I made a bad impression but I swear I can make it up." You said squeezing him. He said nothing but patted your back. You parted and Harry stared at you. "Its all well. No worries." He said smiling. "As for you. I can't believe what you did. Dont look for me next time. I can take care of myself." You said poking Neville violently in the chest. "Are you seriously yelling at me. Excuse me but I recall countly nights of you crying about how much it hurt you that Draco left. And sorry if Im overstepping my bounds but you were possessed by Voldemort. Why wouldnt I be worried?" He said rasing his voice. Neville was always so docile. Him getting angry wasnt common. "The hell you are. You didnt have to treat him like that." You spat. He sighed. "(Y/N), I didnt mean to. Its just that..well. I love you so much. You're like my sister. Youre my life support. I dont want you to get hurt. Youre all I have. My nana doesnt need me." He said. You hugged him. You knew you meant a great deal to Neville. You let go and sighed. "Sorry mate. Didn't mean to hit a nerve." You said offering a small smile. "And Ron...Just dont call him a death eater again because if you do Ill have to beat you silly." You said hitting his shoulder. "Now lets go back to the Tower. I need to get some homework done." You said laughing. They laughed as you placed your arms around Ron and Harrys shoulders while Neville led the way back. As you all stepped through the porthole silence fell once again, all eyes on you. "Anything you guys wanna know?" You said jokingly. A few hands actually shot up into the air. "Oh. You!" You said pointing at a small timid looking first year. "Why were you mad at Harry? You were calling him God awful names." She asked. "Well...thats quite a story. But to keep it short and sweet we got in a wee disagreement. But we patched it all up." You said smiling. People shrugged and a few mumurs swam through the crowd. Everyone slowly returned to their conversations while you four walked to your table to find Hermione working hard. She looked up and smiled. "Hi." She said quickly before returning to her work. Harry and Ron exchanged confused glances before looking at you then Hermione. "We worked it out. Dont worry." You said nodding. You all to seats around the table. You returned to your essay only to be interrupted by Fred and George. "(Y/N) would you mind being our Guinea Pig for a moment. You smiled "Sure. Whats up?" You said not even looking even up . "Try this please." Fred said dropping a yellow and green double sided treat. "Oh my. What one is this?" You said grinning. You had experienced the effects of their skiving snackboxes before. You had red boils growing everywhere because the cure wasnt affective at all. "Its new. Bite the yellow first." Was all George said. You took a deep breath and bit the yellow. It tasted surprisingly sweet. You felt your skin tingle. You held your hand up infront of your face turning them over. They were growing in size and were growing red spots that iched horribly. "Dont scratch." Fred said. You uttered a smll grunt. You popped the green in you mouth and chewed. You felt the itching subside and then stop while the spots disappeared. Ron clapped, Hermione gasped, Neville laughed and Fred whooped. "It worked." He said high-fiving George. You giggled. "Yeah they did." You said rubbing your hand over your arms. "Well. Went better than last time. Is that all? Id be glad to test another." You said cheerfully. "No. Not at the moment. Ill tell you when we do." Fred said walking away with George behind him."Im gonna go. Ill be down later." You said gathering your things and heading up the stairs. You reach your four poster bed and placed your things aside. You laid down and closed your eyes. You thought about everything that had happened today. You drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
