-Felicity-

The beginning of the year flies by with homework, that stupid cabinet, secret quidditch games, and sneaking around to see Fred.

"Do you think we could try something else?" Draco says one day.

"Like a curse?"

"I was thinking poison but maybe that would work better."

"I'll be back in a second." He apperates away and comes back with a necklace, "My father got me this from Borgin & Burkes. They sell a lot of precursed things."

"Your father bought you a cursed necklace?" I reach out to touch the necklace but he slaps my hand away.

"Don't be stupid." He rewraps the necklace and places it on a side table.

I close the closet and recover it with the nearby sheet.

"I'll give it to someone to give to Dumbledore."

"Thats stupid." I look at him, "Why don't you just give it to him?"

"That's suspicious, just trust me. Don't go to Hogsmead today, I don't want anything happening."

This is a bad idea.

"Sure, I guess I have a potion essay to write."

"You sound like Granger." He scoffs as we walk out of the room of requirement together. Before we part ways I grab his hand and squeeze it. Don't be stupid.

Andrea is crying when I get back to my room.

"I," sob, "hate this," another sob, "stupid class," she sniffles, "8 pages by Monday".

She looks up at me with a sad smile. I burst out laughing.

"It's not funny," she shakes her finger at me. "Help me or i'll cry all night."

"Lord help us all if that happens." We sit and through tears we get through all 8 pages of her Arithmancy homework.

It's about 4 pm when Roxana burst into room. "Someone got cursed."

My heart stops.

"What?"

"Katie Bell, Gryffindor. Someone gave her a cursed necklace."

Shit. Draco.

"Do they know who did it?"

"No all they know is it was for Dumbledore."

"That's real scary." Andrea says.

"What the hell happened to you? You get cursed too?" Roxana says looking at Andrea's red tear stained face.

"Shut up Roxana." Andrea laughs and throws her quill at her.

There's a sharp knock at the door. Roxana runs to get it.

Please don't be Draco. I can't deal with him now.

"Fred! You're back." I breathe a sigh of relief as I face him and Roxana.
