"My mind swirling, the room spinning, my voice on repeat."

Theo, Tracey, and I walked through the snowy streets of Hogsmeade. It was the last time we were going to be able to come down here before the summer break. The O.W.L.s were next week on Friday. The last day of school. 

I'm surprised Umbitch was still letting us come out here on weekends but I wasn't complaining. 

"How about one last butterbeer?" Theo asked as we came upon the door of the three broomsticks. 

Without any more discussion, we walked through the tavern door and found a seat. We ordered out butterbeers for the last time as fifth years. Guess the feeling was mutual.

"Can't believe we only have two more years here..." Tracey said as she stared at her hands on the table. 

"Yeah, time flew," I added. "I mean it feels like yesterday you made me come sit with you after this oaf right here ditched me for Malfoy and them." I nudged Theo teasingly. 

Everyone laughed at the memory. 

"Look how much has changed. I mean you two are now dating and I'm on the Quidditch team." Thinking back on it, the year flew by in a matter of seconds. It felt like only yesterday I sat on Cedric's bed reading the note. I took his advice and I couldn't be happier. 

Finally, the butterbeers arrived and the three of us immediately took one. We all raised our glasses like we did every time we got one.

"To the end of the year," Theo said. We clinked our glasses together spilling a little of the froth out of the top and we all took a swig of the liquid. 

After we finished our drinks and left the tavern we walked back down the sidewalk and headed back to the castle.

As we walked we saw a group headed our way, laughing and talking. Draco's group. I caught Draco's eye but we both pretended we didn't notice each other. We were getting really good at that. But Draco started digging in his pocket for something. He let his hand fall by his side and when we passed his hand glided over mine leaving something in my grasp.

How was that so smooth? I acted as if nothing happened and stuffed my hands in my pockets and left the note in there to read it later. 

-------

It was later at night and I was in my dorm. Everyone else was still asleep except for me, as per usual. I walked over to the jacket I wore at Hogsmeade and took out the note from the pocket. I flopped back on my green and silver bed and opened it. 

Were going to study for O.W.Ls after school on Monday. Deal?

The note was simple enough. I smiled at it and put the note back in the pocket I got it from.

"Deal," I whispered to myself before black engulfed my vision letting me drift off into sleep.

'Who is she?' A cracking voice said as she escaped from the shadows.
'Y/N. Y/N Hartwood.' A voice I recognized Immediately said. Draco.
I didn't know what to do so I stood completely still. I had no idea where I was and who these people were that were surrounding me. Actually, I recognized a few from the headlines of news articles we received at the school.
Bellatrix LeStrange, Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy, and Draco. I didn't know anyone else. I see two people approach me from behind. I turn around to see who they are. Their faces were blurred. Why were they blurred?? Where was I?? 
'Y/N?' One of the lurking figures said.
'Y/N is that you?' The second one said. They had no faces. None at all. WHAT'S GOING ON?
'Y/N?'
'Y/N?' My name kept being repeated throughout the huge group that surrounded me. My mind swirling, the room spinning, my voice on repeat.
