It has been 2 days when Draco first found Barrett in the Owlery. But now Barrett has become part of the Slytherin family. She made friends with all the Slytherins. But there was one more person she wanted to talk to. Hermione!

One sunday morning when Barrett was walk ing down to breakfast with Draco, she made a B-line to the Gryffandor table. She wrapped her soft fingers around her Hermione's eyes.

"Guss who?" Barrett beamed.

"Barrett!" Hermione said as she jumped up giving her a hug.

"Hey! No, Slytherin's at this table." Ron growled.

Hermione gave him a dirty look.

"Ha ha ha ha. Shh ginger!" Barrett smiled.

"Yeah Ron, Barrett is the one exception. She is very nice. She saved me." Hermione said.

"Nah! You saved me!" Barrett cried.

"Well, I'm glad you two get along." Harry said.

"Who are you?" Barrett asked.

"Me? Why I'm Harry Potter!" Harry said.

"Harry Potter! Never heard of you." Barrett laughed.

Harry looked puzzled as Barrett tried to make friends with Ron. She joined them for breakfast at the Gryffandor table and made friends with everyone there. But it didn't go unnoticed.

"Barrett!" Draco growled. "What are you doing?"

"Eating bacon. Why? Want some?" Barrett smiled.

Draco sighed. "No, I mean why are you eating with...Them. Are you crazy?"

"Yeah I think so." Barrett said dreamily.

Draco snorted. "Your coming back to the Slytherin table with me now." Draco commanded.

"No!" Barret yelled as she picked up a news paper and whipped Draco in the side of the head.

Laughter roared out in the hall.

"Fine." Draco sighed. " May I join you?"

"I though you'd never ask!" Barrett said.

Ron and Harry were skeptical at first but got used to Draco. They All had a lovely breakfast together.

"I still don't trust you." Ron scowled.

"Well weasel, I trust people Barrett trusts." Draco shot back.

"So, are you two like, dating now?" Harry asked.

"Dunno." Barrett said looking at Draco.

"That reminds me. Barrett? Will you please be my girlfriend?" He asked on one knee.

"I will!" Barratt squeaked as she hugged him.

"Gross Slytherin love."Ron scowled. Harry and Hermione hit him in the arm.

Barrett walked to class with Draco, Harry, Hermione and Ron sagging behind.

When they finally made it to Potions class they were 10 minutes late.

"Ms. Cardinals, and the rest of you. What are you doing?I can see the Gryffandor's being late but students from my own house? That is one nights detention for all of you. Tonight. 8:00." Snape hissed.

All through potions class Barrett exceeded the expectations that Snape had. She was a model student, except for the rude comments at some points.

At 8:00 Draco, Hermione, Barrett, Harry, and Ron came to the lab and scrubbed the floors for almost 2 hours when Barrett had had enough.

"Oh my god! I am sick of scrubbing this filthy floor!" Barrett cried as she threw a scrubbing brush to the floor.

"Well you shouldn't have been so late to class, and disruptive." Snape sneered.

Barrett looked like she had something to say but she went back to the floor.

"Psst!" Ron hissed.

Draco looked at him. "What?"

"I don't understand, why are you being so nice all the sudden. Your normally a real arse." Ron scowled.

Draco was silent for many moments. "Its its...Its Barrett. I...I think I really love her. I need her...need her like air...She makes me want to change, and be good..."

"Your in love." Ron said. "Well I'm glad your not a jerk anymore."

"...Yeah." Draco said finishing cleaning the floor.

When they were all finished with the floors it was around 1:00am. So they all went back to their houses to go to bed. Draco found Barrett reading a book on the couch in the common room.

"Hey." He said in a smooth velvet voice.

"Hey." Barrett smiled.

Draco sat on the couch cuddling Barrett in his lap.

"So..." Barrett started. "I...I herd what you said to Ron."

Draco looked down.

"Do you really feel that way?"

"Yes." Draco sighed.

"How would you feel if...I feel the same way?" Barrett asked.

"Do you?"

"Yes" She said.

Draco lifted her chin and looked her in the eyes. She smiled and batted her eye lashes. He slowly bent down and kissed lightly one the lips. She smiled and kissed him on the nose.

"Okay, its getting pretty late. I think I'm going to go to bed. You should to." Draco smiled.

"Kay."

Draco and Barrett got up and Barrett lied across the couch. "I'm going to sleep out here tonight."

"Um. Okay? Goodnight." He said as he kissed her on the forehead.

"Wait!"

"Yeah?"

"Stay out here with me tonight."

"Why?"

"Becauseimscared." She mumbled.

"What?"

"Because I'm scared." She mumbled clearly.

"Alright, move over."

She did as she was told and snuggled up to Draco on the couch.

The next morning Draco woke up to a note.

Draco,

I left at about 7:30 for breakfast.

Meet me in the dinning hall!

Love you!

Barrett.

P.S You snore like a tractor.

Draco made his was to the dinning hall and saw Barrett reading a letter she just got with the Gryfandor's. He immediately new something was wrong. Her saw her eyes water and her face go red, she looked like someone who's dog had died and come back to life just to say it was their fault that 9/11 happened. But 100 times worse. She broke out in cry and her magic took control. Fire surrounded her and the tables and chairs flew across the room and she bolted out.

"Oh no." Draco whispered his heart broken.
