Dawn's P.O.V

"You worthless piece of shit! You should've never been born!"

"Bitch"

"Sweetie, don't go near her, she's dangerous."

"Witch! Witch! You're a Witch!"

"You DESERVE death!"

"No one loves you, Dawn Lily Michaelson."

"I love you, Dawn....."

                      "Hold on, Sweetie........"

I shot up my bed screaming making cathy screech and other girls scream and jump out of their beds and Cat rushed over to me hugging me. "What the fuck, Michaelson!" Yelled one of the mean girls. "Don't scream so you can have a lesiban moment with your slutty girlfriend!" Cat glared at her.

"C'mon, let's go." Cat whispered and she picked me up bridel style and Cathy jumped into my lap and I buried my face in her neck as I let some tears fall. When we got out of the Slytherin Tower and I put my feet on the stone cold ground holding Cathy and Cat pulled me towards the Gryffindor house we saw the Fat Lady sleeping. "Excuse me, Ma'am, I'm sorry to wake you." Said Cat and the Fat Lady looked at me and I use sign languid to explain to her who Cat is and that Dumbledore gave me permission to let me be in the Gryffindor Common Room.

"I remember, dear, don't worry," The Fat Lady told me and she opened the portage and we enter to find Harry and Ron studying they look up to us. "What happened?" Said Ron when Harry sat up suddenly. "Dawn, what's wrong? You're crying." Harry said walking over, abandoning his homework, and standing in front of me while I still held Cat's hand but I let go to sign to them, I can't find my voice. "I had a really, really, really bad dream." I signed and Cat translated.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Harry asked. I look to see Ron is gone I took Harry's hand and gave Cat a look she nodded and left and I lead Harry out of the Common Room, down the corridor, not being caught by Mrs. Norris, Filch, or Umbridge, and getting to the ground. I look down to the ground seeing it's really cold but I step it in feeling the coldness but also a pleasure of the grass going between my toes making me smile lightly but I continue leading Harry towards the Forbidden Forest and when we got to my hiding place I lead Harry to a tree and look at him. "Follow me," I said softly my voice broken and turn to the tree and start climbing.

Half way up the tree I glance down to see Harry following when I got to the top I climb onto a platform and stand up, brushing my t-shirt down so it's not showing my scared stomach,  and Harry got up here looking around seeing my tree house I spent in at bad nights I look around too and lead Harry inside and we got to the living room/bedroom. I go to my bed and sit on it and Harry sits next to me. "I heard them, all of them." I whisper looking down to my lap.

"Heard who?" Harry asked softly.

"Everyone, from the kids who know I'm the towns witch, to my ex-boyfriend, to my adoptive parents, to the whole blocks parents, and that angel-voice that protects me and haunts me." I explain.

"What do you mean they know you're a witch?" Harry asked grabbing my hands to stop me from fiddling with my pants I look him in the eyes. "They know because of my adoptive parents, they throw rocks at me chanting "Witch, witch, you're a witch" and wont stop unless a adult catches them." I explain and Harry held my hand tightly and rubbed the back of my hand with his thumb.

"Don't listen to them, you're wonderful, Dawn." Harry said I look at him in the eye with a expression that says "You don't understand"

"Harry, you don't get it, I'm haunted by those words! The saying Muggle's say "Stick and Bones May Break My Bones" My saying at the end is "But Wors Will Hurt Forever"." I explain.

"Dawn..."

"No, Harry, don't give me a prep talk, don't give me anything...just...just be my friend tonight." I said shakily and got up walking out to the porch and crossed my arms looking out to the forest and I felt Harry walk up behind me wraping his arms behind me around my stomach and hugged me backwards as I started singing softly.

(White Horse By Taylor Swift)

"Say you're sorry

That face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to

As I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you

Holding on
The days drag on
Stupid girl,
I should've known, I should've known

[Chorus:]
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale,
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down,
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around

Maybe I was naïve,
Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
My mistake, I didn't know to be in love
You had to fight to have the upper hand

I had so many dreams
About you and me
Happy endings
Now I know

[Chorus:]
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale,
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down,
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around

And there you are on your knees,
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry

Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale,
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rear view mirror disappearing now
And it's too late for you and your white horse
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to catch me now

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late
To catch me now"

Harry hugged me tighter and turned me so I'm facing him I look into his eyes and him into mine I got lost in them seeing they are my favorite color green...forest green...why do you think I go to the forest to escape? It gives me comfort and makes me feel more connected and safe. I felt like me and Harry were the only two people in the world I glance to his lips and back up to his eyes and soon I felt a sensation traveling from my lips to my toes of a warmth, loving, shock that meant something...I knew what it was though...

Harry was kissing me...

I hesitated but soon moved my lips with his. We were in synk and to be honest it felt different then with Ken...I felt explosions, sparks, and bombs going on between us but deep down inside my stomach told me this was wrong...he'll hurt you like Ken did, Dawn, stop this kiss before things get out of hand or you'll end up hurt again...and we both remember how that ended.

I pull away and opened my eyes to look into Harry's. "No...this...this never happened." I said softly getting out of his grip.

"Wait, Dawn," Said Harry I turn to him and shook my head.

"Not again, I can't make the same mistake." I said and went down leaving running over to the Slytherin Common Room I lean on the wall and slide down...

What did I just do? I thoought.

A/n: Yay they kissed...They're not together though, if it wasn't clear, Dawn will explain stuff in the next chapter but I hope you liked this chapter! And the chant "Witch, witch, you're a witch!" Is from Practical Magic, my faorite movie, so yeah. Hope you liked it!
