"Yeah, Good luck dont let the attitude knock you off your broom." I yelled to him. He didnt turn around he just waved, and turned the corner. The bi-polar bastard that he can be.

After I finished I gave back my cup and plate, and thanked them. I walked away towards the quidditch field. I got a seat and about 5 minutes later, the announcer started to talk about the game that was going to happen. After everything was said about it Madame Hooch made Draco and Harry shake hands-you felt the tension- and then released the snitch and the game began. It was a clear day, so you'd think finding the snitch would be easy, right? NO! Neither Harry or Draco could find the damned golden ball. It wasn't that hard to see it. Even the announcer stopped annoucing who was in the lead and started to pick on both seekers. "Harry's looking around for the snitch by staying in one place. MOVE HARRY YOU'LL FIND IT BETTER!" He'd scream. Then the best was when he would rag on Draco. "There goes Draco, circling around the field once more, and again, and again. You getting dizzy there mate?" He'd laugh, but Draco, who didn't find it funny, would come around and then shake his fist towards him. I couldn't help but laugh. It was great entertainment, and Slytherin was in the lead, so maybe that would cheer Draco up, whatever was bothering him. Just as soon as he announced that Slytherin was in the lead all of a sudden, Draco and Harry both saw the snitch. It was soaring up to the sky in the middle of the field, and both of the seekers were on the oppsite ends of the field. They both raced to get to the snitch, but what Draco was bad at, was seeing what was going on around him, instead of just infront of him. There was a bludger going straight for him, and everyone noticed but no one yelled to him. So I did only what i thought would be best. I yelled, "Draco watch out!" He then looked towards me and then saw the bludger and had to duck under. Therefore completely missing the snitch and Harry caught it. He looked toward me with anger and rage in his eyes. I could feel it from where I was sitting, and we were about 200 feet away from one another. "GRYFINDOR HAS WON! HARRY CAUGHT THE SNITCH!!" The announcer yelled into the megaphone. He wasn't helping Draco's rage either. Everything just completely went downhill after that. After the game I tried to meet up with him, but he just kept walking infront of me.

"Draco, stop being like the ass you are and just listen to me for 5 seconds!" I screamed so loud, my throat hurt after that. He then stopped walking and turned slowly around.

"Me? Being an ass? Most likely you didn't see what happened." He said standing where he was.

"I saw what happened, and the very least I saved you from a concussion. You welcome." I spat at him.

"I would rather be lying dead in the hospital wing knowing we won then standing here alive knowing we lost!" He screamed, and walked over towards me.

"Well, too bad, your alive jerk." I screamed back walking up to meet him.

"Really? Thanks for that bit of info." He said in my face.

"No problem always here to help." I got right back into his face now with no problem, except for the fact that I then felt a blinding pain on the side of my face and my ribs. The next thing I knew I was by Draco's feet, and he was litteraly seeing red.

"I told you that you didn't know who you were messing with." He said glaring at me. I tried getting back up, but when I did he'd hit me back down again. You'd think someone would try and stop him? No.

"I know for a fact who I am messing with, but do you know who your messing with?" I asked still on the ground, but when I got back up he tried to hit me again. I ducked and he missed. He slowed down because he was shocked that he had no impact, so I took my chance and used a karate punch and kick on him. He was knocked down onto the ground, but this now turned into a duel. We both drew out our wands at the same time, and pointed them at each other. Neither of us moved, or blinked, I don't even think we breathed, thats how still we were. "Expelliarmus!" I yelled, sending Draco and his wand flying. He got up, but wasn't too happy. He was too far away to hear what spell he had said, but whatever it was it sent me flying, but I hit my head, probably what he was aiming for, and I was bearly concious.

"What do you have to say to that, Alexis?" He asked me, wand still drawn and pointed at me.
"I'd have to say CRUCIO." I screamed the curse. I was done for that's all I know. I used an unforgiveable curse, and well, they are unforgiveable. After hearing him scream in pain or whatever for about 5 seconds I called off the spell. Instead, he repayed me nicely.

"Avada Kadavera!" He screamed, and at the same time I screamed "Expelliarmus!" We were sitting there now realizing that either I had to stop my curse and I'd get hit with his and die, or he stopped his and get hit with mine and probably get a concussion.

"Avada? You want me dead, eh?" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "Thought you didn't want my death to be on your conscience!" I smirked, using his words against him, yet again Holding strong to my curse.

"Shut-up Alexis. Don't make me hurt you." He said still holding stong to his curse.

"We can never forgive each other now, you know this right?" I yelled hoping this would cause him to mess up somehow. It did, it caused him to break the spell and get hit with mine. He flew back further then he did before and tumbled about 3 times. Random people ran up to him to make sure he was ok, but I just walked away. Until I heard that he was getting up, slowly but he was.

"I'm not done with you." He growled.

"I'm done with you, you nearly killed me, not like it matters. I used and unforgivable on you, so tomorrow when we go back home my father will want to kill me." I snapped, then I started to walk back.

"Pertificus Totalus!" He screamed and I fell to the ground with a thud. Ouch. "Now, try and get away from me." He said kicking me hard in the side as he came up to me. Luck had to be on my side that day, because my wand was pointed towards my leg, and you can used wordless magic. So I thought of the counter-curse in my head and before you knew it, I was un-petrified. "Accio Wand!" I said pointing at Draco's wand. It came towards me. I smirked when Draco looked down at his hand.

"Now, you want to actually talk to me without trying to kill me first?" I asked, already forgiving Draco of what had just happened.

"I don't want to talk to anyone." He muttered stiffly.

"Fine, and just to let you know when we are all going home tomorrow for the winter break, better say your goodbyes." I said walking away from him, but first throwing his wand towards the ground making it stick straight up.

"What do you mean?" He questioned not even bothering to pick up his wand.

" I mean that when we go back to your house or mine which ever one, I am as good as dead. I used the unforgivable curse of you, and you did the same to me. Its done." I said turning around again and walking away. I ignored whatever else he said, and apparently he was letting me go. I didn't return to the dungeons until later that night, around 2 in the morning. I was sitting by the lake underneath the tree relaxing, usually time excapes me when I do that. Also, Harry stopped when he saw me under the tree, and looked at my fresh cuts and bruises. He laughed and told me that I was lucky that i could still talk and breath after that pounding punch to my face, and my ribs, and also because of the kick. Although, I did have to admit it was getting harder to breathe, with each passing hour. Maybe because I knew my fate that was in store for me the next day. After Harry and I were done talking about everything that had gone down and what was most likely going to go down, I started to walk back to the castle when he called me back. He was impatient so he met me half way.

"What I wanted to say to you in the kitchens." He started, but I finished for him.

"I know Harry, you wanted to tell me you loved me." I said smiling sweetly.

"Yes, but not only that." He said looking into my eyes.

"What else?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows.

"This." He said, and he pulled me into a deep and passionate kiss. I had the 'butterfly' feeling for about a second and then it was gone. I also felt my lips burn when his collided with mine, but not after a second. With Draco though, it was a different story. The butterflies would last for awhile even after the kiss was done. Also my lips kept the burning sensation, even after it was done. I also felt like I couldn't breathe in his presence. Before, I would have never done that. I would have thrown him off of me if he tried to kiss me. Now, its like I long for that. When before if Harry were to do that with me I would expect more from it. Now, its just the exact oppsite. Is it because I knew I had to let Harry go? Or because I fell in love with Draco? That I would never know.

After the kiss was done, he was red with embarassment and ran off, saying his goodbye quickly. He was staying at Hogwarts this year for the break too. I wanted to quite honestly break down into tears right then and there. My whole life just seemed to be turning on me. Did that even not like me anymore? Was there a reason that I should even live? I walked back to the dungeons quickly, praying that nobody saw what Harry had just did to me. After litteraly yelling the password to the portrait before I even got there, I ran up the girls drom room stairs. I was happy to see that it was unlocked. I climbed into bed, and tossed and turned. I couldn't fall asleep quickly enough. When I did finally go to sleep, I had nightmare after nightmare. Before I knew it there was the sun beaming in on me. It always woke me up, no matter what. I turned over to find out what time it was. It was 9:30. Trains would be leaving in a half hour! I got up quickly, jumped in the shower and washed my hair quickly, and magicly did my hair and make-up to a simple ponytail, and mascara and eyeshadow. Nothing major. I got dressed, then packed small things that I would absoluely need for the break, looked at the clock and noticed I had 10 minutes and then ran out of the girls dorm. I ran so fast you would think that somebody was chasing me at a close pace behind. I then turned out of one of the side exits and then started to slow down. I knew I made it once I saw the train was still there. Hagrid, packing suitcases and small bags still, winked at me as he took my bag. "Now I can actually hurry up with the bags." He joked, putting mine in safely. I then walked in the train, and found an empty compartment, for it not being as packed as going to the first day of school. I made myself at home in it by streching out and relaxing. I started to sing just a random part, by one of my most favorite States bands, Lost Prophets.

'Standin' on the rooftops.

Everybody scream your heart out.

Standin' on the rooftops.

Everybody scream your heart out.

Standin' on the rooftops.

Everybody scream your heart out.

This is all we got now.

Everybody scream your heart out.

Standin' on the rooftops.

Wait until a bomb drops.

This is all we got now.

Scream until your heart stops.

Never gonna regret.

Watchin' every sunset.

Listen to your heartbeat.

All along the weekend.'

I had just finished singing that, when Draco came in.

"I heard your singing." He said. God, if he wasn't a bad small talker.

"Thats good, now out. I don't want to be bothered by anyone until I have to be." I said pointing to the door, my eyes still shut.

"I'm not bothering you am I?" He asked sitting down. I opened one eye, but then ended up rolling my eyes, and then shutting both of them. He was streched out on the other compartment seat.

"Actually, yes you are. I wanted to sing, but now you are here so I can't." I said sighing.

"Yeah, whats the deal with that? You have a great voice, but you don't let anyone but yourself hear it." He asked, pretending to be my best friend.

"Draco, enough with the small talk, out." I said pointing to the door and looking over at him now.

"I'm not making small talk. I want to know why you do that." He said demandingly.

"Fine, because I don't feel the need to sing in other people because I only sing when I am bored, not for entertainment." I said, my annoyance level rising.

"Oh, well in that case I won't be leaving. So you'll just have to sing with me in here. I promise I won't like it or ask you to sing anything." He said crossing where his heart was supposed to be.

"No. I'm not." I said closing my eyes again. After being in scilence for almost an hour, I got bored with myself and started to hum. I completely forgot about Draco being in the compartment with me. I hummed along with one of my other favorite bands, Hollywood undead. When it got to the chorus though, I couldn't help but sing.

'This love, this hate.

Is burning me away.
Its hard to face that we're all the same.

This love this hate.

Is burning me away.

Its times like these that never change.

Let Go.

I'll bring you closer.

Right now.

I'll hold on tightly.

Let Go.

We're going no where.

Somewhere.

And things aren't over.

Harder times like these.

Growing up on the streets!

Harder times like these.

I'll put you back on your feet!

This love, this hate.

Is burning me away.
Its hard to face that we're all the same.

This love this hate.

Is burning me away.

Its times like these that never change

'This love, this hate.

Is burning me away.
And I fall to the ground with my tear drops, and I get lost everytime my heart stops.

This love this hate.

Is burning me away.

And I fall to the ground with my tear drops, and I get lost everytime my heart stops.

THIS LOVE THIS HATE IS BURNING ME AWAY!'

After I did a semi-screamo for the last part, Draco clapped. I felt my blood run cold. I opened my eyes in shock, and took in a deep breath.

"I don't see why you just don't sing more often." He was the one who had his eyes closed now.

"I told you I am not entertainment." I said getting fed up with this conversation.

"I never said you were." He said smiling. I opened my mouth to argue, but he was right. He wasn't saying for me to be entertainment. he opened his eyes, and laughed at my responce.

"I dont like my voice." I tried on another excuse.

"Excuses, excuses, excuses." He said moving his pointer finger around in a circle. "You should sing, forget what everyone else things." He tried, but it wasn't working on me.

"Oh, no. You promised that you wouldn't try to get me to sing another song." I said shaking my head.

"Granted I said that, but did you hear me ask you to sing another song?" He smiled. Him and I both knew he caught me again.

"Yes, but you said that you wouldn't like any of the songs I sang, no matter how good I sang them."
"Exactly. I don't like them." He said, which made me frown slightly. "I love them." He smiled, and I could feel myself smile, but I quickly hid it.

"Thats not fair, you broke a promise." I said.

"We're 17, officially adults. Breaking a promise is like breaking a little plastic toy, it doesnt hurt anybody." He said.

"Unless, it was a promise of some other things." I said looking up at the celing, not wanting to talk about it, and I was mentally cursing myself out because of it.

"Why What--nevermind. I don't want to know." He said the last part coldly and he sounded disattatched. We both knew that he really did want to know though.

After that, the whole entire train ride was silent. Even as we both got into my fathers car.

"Who's house are we staying at?" I leaned up to ask, but he obviously ignored me. I slammed myself back into the seat and folded my arms across my chest, like a little child. I then looked at Draco, and then out the window.

"Who's house are we staying at?" Draco asked the question, and got an immediate answer.

"Ours this time. We-meaning your mother, father, and I-all agreed that you both needed time alone this break. So I will be on a buisness trip, and you can stay at the house by yourself." He said, not even smiling.

"So, you do realize that I am here?" I asked, after he finished explaining to Draco.

"How could I not? You are my daughter." He said looking in his rearview mirror.

"Didn't stop you from before. Oh wait," I shoved out a laugh. "I forgot. There's company. Thats why your acting like this." I said, my eyes welling up.

"I'll talk to you later about your attitude." He said, as we pulled into my driveway.

"I simply cannot wait." I said getting out of the car before it was even put in park, grabbing my bag and slamming the door behind me. I walked up to the front door and opened it. I then ran directly up the stairs into my room and threw my bag onto my bed. As I was doing that I didn't realize I had accidently hit my dog.

"Hey Duke, sorry 'bout that." I said petting his head, and scratching behind his ears. "Did you miss momma?" I said patting my legs. He jumped up and started to lick my face. That was the good thing about having a big dog. You dont have to bend down to pet them. I then went back downstairs, Duke following close behind me now that I was home. "Hey Draco, Follow me and I'll show you around the house." I said pushing my hair out of my face. "First, just put your bags down there for now." I said pointing to a spot near the stairs.

"What the hell is that?" He asked pointing a finger towards Duke.

"That," I said petting and kissing Duke. "Is the little puppy that you saw about 3 years ago, the one that was always my shadow." I said laughing.

"No thats not." He said stubbornly. "He was a baby. He should still be small!" He said now petting him too.

"Nope, hes not. Hes almost full grown too," I said whistling for him to follow. "Okay, so down here is basicly the kitchen, family room, dining room, and back yard thats huge." I said opening up the door so Duke can go out. I then shut it, and walking into the kitchen and looked for his dog food. I found the bag with one serving left. "At least I know my father was feeding him." I sighed. I grabbed his bowl and filled it to the top. I also refreshed his water too. I then put them down on the ground and let Duke back in after I thew out the Dog Food bag. Draco watching my every move. "Shall we move on?" I asked after he was done looking around downstairs.
"Sure." He said, but this time he whistled for Duke to come, and he did.
"Hmm.." I said looking at Duke. "Thats odd."
"What?" Draco asked, looking like he did something wrong.

"He came when you called for him. Usually only I can do that." I said with a slight smile. "I guess that means your his daddy." I said patting Duke and Draco's head. Draco mumbled about getting his hair messed up, as we walked up the stairs. "Oh, and that door right there?" I said leaning over the railing, pointing to the door. "Is the basement. Feel free to go down there." I then continued to walk up the stairs. "Up here, the first door directly in front of you is my room, my dad's is right there." I said pointing down across the hall. There were two shut doors. The forbidden sections, as I called it. "Here is your room, right next to mine." I said, opening up the door. "Its not much, but you'll survive." I said walking towards the bathroom to leave Draco to investigate his room. I leaned in over the sink and counter and looked at my make-up. "Ugh, Duke. I look like a wreck." I said, and Duke cocked his head to the side and whinned.

"You look like a train wreck without me!" Came someone popping out from behind the shower curtain. I screamed of pure shock to find my old best friend sitting in my bathtub waiting for me to come home.

"Oh my god!" I squeeled. "You look lovely as always!" I hugged her tightly.

"You look absoluetely stunning my darling." She said hugging me back just as tight.

"Jesus, Ryn! When was the last time I've seen you? Like 6 years ago?" I said crying because I was so happy.

"I know. Its so good to see you, you damned witch." She said jokingly. After all the years apart we could still tell when we were joking and when we were serious. We wrote letters back and forth to each other whenever we could. She was keeping me posted with things going on in america, as I was doing but with europe.

"Sorry, I was going to ask if you were okay, but seeing as though somebody is there, then your alright." Draco said, looking at Ryn very awkwardly.

"Who's blondie?" She asked snickering.

"My soon-to-be husband." I didn't say very excited, or happy.

"Thats the one that you said was--" I muffled what she was about to say by putting a hand to her mouth.

"Stubborn, arrogant, and mean. Yes." I said very quickly. He knew I didn't say that just by the way I acted, and by the way Ryn looked oddly confused.

"What did she really say about me?" He asked working his Malfoy charm on her.

"That you were nice when you wanted to be, someone she wanted to get to know better, and oh yes I remember her exact words, Frickin hot as hell." Ryn blabbed to someone that she hardly even knew. That was the only downside about her. She talked, and talked.

"Really?" He said turning around to face me with a cocked eyebrow. I kept my head down, because if I would have raised it Ryn and Draco would have both seen my cheeks a nice crimson color.

"Yep." She said walking over to me and lifted up my head. I was still a nice color red. It made all of us laugh.

"Thanks. Always knew I could count on ya." I said playfully punching her in the arm. "Anyway. Draco this is Ryn. Ryn this is Draco." I said introducing the two.

"Great to meet you, but not to be rude, are you staying here for the entire break because you live in america and everything?" Draco asked Ryn.
"Yep, X's daddy got me hooked up so I am staying here the whole break." She said smiling. My eyes widened and I clapped my hands.

"Who's X?" Draco asked, curiously.

"I call Alexis that. Like she calls me Ryn. My name is actually Kathryn, but I don't like it." She said making an ew face.

"Oh, well thats cool, I guess." He shrugged.

"Oh, and don't worry, I won't interupt if I find one of your doors closed." She said with a huge grin. I smacked her arm.

"Shut-up, all we did was kiss once and that was it." I said rolling my eyes

"Yeah, sure ya did. Now. X who's driving, you me or Draco?" She asked holding up a set of car keys.

"Ryn, not tonight. Im tired so we'll eat dinner and shop tomorrow." I said leaning back on the counter. "I don't even think Draco has a licence, or knows how to drive." I said looking at him, and he looked confused so I take it he didn't. I waved it off.

"Alrighty, Well then let me go get settled." Ryn said walking out of the bathroom, and down the stairs. "Your dad set me up in the basement." She squeeled.

"Awesome." I said walking out into the hall, and going into my room. "Have fun down there." I said, and jumped onto my bed. A few seconds later I was inturuppted by a soft knock.

"Hey, can I come in?" Draco asked. Duke's tail started to tump against the wall when he saw it was Draco.

"Sure, and I think you are Duke's Daddy." I said smiling.

"Well it is fitting, seeing as though you are his Mother." He said smirking. Now he was the exact oppsite of how he was yesterday.

I laughed, and put my hands on my hips, until I hit the huge bruise that Draco gave me. "Ouch. That hurt." I said lifting my left hand.

"Whats wrong?" Draco asked, unsure of why I would be hurting there.

"No reason." I said, trying my best to force a smile.

"Liar, Alexis please tell me." He said trying to lift up that side of my shirt to see what it was, until I moved out of the way. "Why are you so jumpy around me now?" He honestly didn't remember.

I sighed. "Sit down on the bed, this isnt going to be easy for me to tell you." I said taking one of his hands and moving over to my bed. "Duke, out now." I said pointing towards the door. He obyed, but I took out my wand and closed the door behind him and locked it, magicly.

"Alexis, now I am getting worried, what happened?" He asked, worry coming over in his eyes.

"You honestly don't remember?" I asked sighing. "After the quidditch game." I said trying to see if anything would ring a bell.

"All I remember is loosing the game, and then getting off my broom." He said, fustrated at the fact they lost.

"Draco," I sighed. "You and I fought. Big." I shook my head.

"Well, whatever I said I didn't mean it." He said looking at me.

"We didn't fight verbally." I tried to explain to him, he still wasn't getting it.

"Then what did we do?" He looked confused.

"We fought. We literrally hit each other. First it was physical and then we kinda like duled it off." I said, looking at him. His eyes grew wide.
