( September '96 )
Cassandra was in desperate need of a relaxing bath. She had totally forgotten that she could use the prefect's bathroom. She had forgotten that she was indeed a prefect. Last year went by in such a whirlwind, she forgot most of the events that happened - like being named prefect. Ron was named Gryffindor's other prefect.
Cassandra walked down to the prefect's bathroom. She changed in the bathroom stall. She was in a robe, waiting to take it off until she got the water going in the bathtub. She turned on the water, adjusting it to the perfect temperature. The bubbles started going as well.
It was night out and it was raining. It was the perfect weather to take a nice hot, relaxing bath. Cassandra removed her robe and went into the bath. She felt the warm water encase her body. She heard the door open up and she moved so she could see who walked in.
"Draco." Cassandra breathed.
"I'm sorry, I'll go." Draco said.
He was already in a robe and didn't need to change.
"No, it's okay." Cassandra said. "You can stay."
"Would you mind looking away while I get in then?" Draco asked.
"Oh yes of course." Cassandra said, turning around so she couldn't see Draco.
Thankfully, the bubbles were thick enough that you couldn't see under the water. Cassandra heard Draco plop into the water.
"You're okay now." Draco said.
Cassandra walked closer to Draco and noticed something on his forearm.
"Draco, what is that?" Cassandra asked, pointing.
"Nothing." Draco hid his arm.
Cassandra grabbed his arm and looked at it.
"Oh my goodness." Cassandra gasped, noticing he had the Dark Mark.
"I knew you would react that way." Draco said. "I'm a monster huh?"
"No." Cassandra replied. "You never were. Mean, yes. A monster? No way."
"You're probably going to go off to tell Potter, aren't you?" Draco asked.
"No, this is our little secret." Cassandra said. "I have no clue what you are talking about."
Draco gave Cassandra a half smile. It was better than nothing.
"What's going on with you and Blaise?" Draco asked.
"Nothing." Cassandra said. "We have been friends for the longest time but nothing more than that."
"But he was your date to the Yule Ball."
"Only because Cedric and I couldn't go together." Cassandra said.
"Do you miss him? Cedric?" Draco inquired.
"Always." Cassandra said. "He was my first love and basically my first everything. First kiss, first boyfriend, first love."
"Did you two..." Draco asked.
"Oh no." Cassandra laughed, knowing what Draco meant. "I am saving myself for the right one. Yes, I loved Cedric, but he wasn't THE one. Have you had a girlfriend, Draco? Or do you just sleep around like the rumors say?"
"First of all, I don't sleep around." Draco said. "It was some stupid rumor because Pansy Parkinson came into my room uninvited. People just automatically assumed. Second of all, I've never had a girlfriend. I've only ever had a crush on one person."
"Oh yeah?" Cassandra teased. "And who might that be?"
"That is a secret." Draco smiled. "How many people have you kissed?"
"Wow, what happened to hello, how are you?" Cassandra said. "I've kissed two people."
"And who might those people be?" Draco asked.
"Cedric Diggory and Fred Weasley." Cassandra said. "Technically Fred kissed me first and then I went in for a second kiss."
"How scandalous." Draco chuckled.
If he was being honest, he didn't like hearing who Cassandra kissed. He felt a tang of jealousy in his chest.
"Why have you been ignoring me?" Cassandra asked.
"We are on opposite sides of this war, Cassandra." Draco said. "We can't be seen together. I don't want to put you in danger. I don't want to be a Death Eater but I have to, I have no choice."
"You do have a choice though." Cassandra said.
"Yeah, get killed?" Draco said. "No thanks. I'd prefer to be alive."
"How is your mother doing?" Cassandra asked.
"She's doing well, not really wanting to be a Death Eater either." Draco said. "She's worried about me. And worried about you as well."
"Well, it is getting late." Cassandra said. "I ought to be going back to bed."

"Jack, I'm scared."
"Cassandra, it'll be okay." Jack said.
"You said Brooklyn almost killed Sirius." Cassandra cried.
"She almost did." Jack said. "But you're not Brooklyn, you're Cassandra."
"You also said she almost hurt him before she almost killed him." Cassandra said.
She was freaking out in Jack Dawson's office over her chaos magic.
"She didn't hurt him that time." Jack said.
"Well she did hurt him." Cassandra said. "What if I hurt someone?"
"Well if you do end up hurting someone, let's hope it's someone on the opposite side of the war." Jack chuckled. "You're not going to hurt anyone because we know things now. We didn't know about Brooklyn. We didn't know anything when she went through what you're going to go through."
"And what is it exactly that I am going to go through?" Cassandra asked, her hands on her hips.
"Maybe outbursts of magic?" Jack said, questioning his response. "I don't know exactly Cassandra, but I do know how to help. Not only did I study dragons in Romania, but I did study chaos magic. You are in good hands."
"I am going to trust you, Jack." Cassandra said. "Have you seen or talked to Brooklyn since June?"
"I haven't talked to her since the day your parents died and she disappeared." Jack said. "I only saw her that day at the Ministry. She didn't even look in my direction."
"She's happy you're alive." Cassandra said. "She was wondering if Jonathan is alive?"
"Oh god." Jack said.
"What? Did something happen to him?" Cassandra asked.
"Jonathan is dead." Jack said.
"Sirius said he thought Jonathan was alive." Cassandra said.
"Jonathan was killed a year after James was." Jack said.
