I remember when you said life was hard on you,
And, I remember when I watched you come undone again.
And I still feel now, all the damage kept inside.

Esme sat alone at the Dinner table. She had been sent out of her class for bad mouthing to Professor Flitwick on being so short. As she waited for people to come for lunch, she twiddled her thubms and thought about her and her sisters. How much they went through. How much sadness that was and IS in their lives.

[[Flashback

"TAG! YOU'RE IT!"

The sisters were playing tag in their new back yard. It was Esme's 10 birthday.

Dani had tagged Darcy and she was running from the (somewhat) enraged 12 year old. Just as Darcy was about to tough Esme, their Mother came outside, with tears in her eyes.

"Girls..." She said,"There is something you should know... "

She led us up the stairs to the room where my father was. She walked through the door frame and went by my fathers side. The monitor that was attached to him, was one long, strong ringing beep.

Dani ran to his side. She started to cry.

He was dead.

All the walls that you built up,
And all the bridges you burnt down,
In the end, it comes down to, I'm the one always around.

Esme looked at him with an expressonless face. That was the day she stopped caring.

As everyone left the room, I looked around the room. It seemed normal. But yet, un-normal...

I was the only to notice a steak knife inside a plastic cup, and bottle of somesort of Potion that wasn't there before, and one other thing. My mother had blood red spots on her cherry red day dress...

Our mother had killed out dieing father... WIth none other than a steak knife and a bottle of Poison...

[[End Flashback

Come to me. I'll set you free
Come to me. Make me believe you'll,
Come to me, and I will help you crawl,
Won't let you fall, show you how to breathe.
So come to me.

As Esme thought about that day, she cringed inwardly. Sighing, she smacked her head on the Slytherin table.

"Um... is there something wrong?" A voice came from infront of her. She looked up and saw none other than Draco Malfoy.

"What do you want Malfoy?" She snapped at him and slumped in her seat. She said his name like it was poison.

"Well...I was just wonering if you were okay since you were sort of smashing your head against the table. That was all... Don't have to freak or anything..." He sounded hurt as he walked away.

"Ugh..Wait!" She called. He stopped and turned," I'm sorry... I was kinda rude lately... Come sit with me I'm bored."

He laughed"Okay." As he sat down, she rubbed her aching head.

"Not to self," She said,"Do not smash head against hard wood tables...Not good idea."

Draco laughed. He started making circles on the table with the tip of his wand.

"Hey, why aren't you in class?"Esme inquired.

"Well," He started,"Its kinda a long story..."

"I was only gone for 10 minutes. It can't be that long."

"Well, when Flitwick sent you out, I sort of..um," He got lost in his words,"I sort of, spoke up and got sent out too."

"What kind of speaking up?" She asked as she stared at the goblet of water she had sitting in from of her.

"Um... I kinda yelled at him for sending you out of class, just for saying he was short..."

Esme laughed"You said THAT!?" She giggled then said"Thanks. You know for sticking up for me and all. People don't usual do that for me.."

"No problem!"

I believe in how the past can never be undone.
And I believe that now, if I hold you, you can see the sun.
And I believe it now, in the future you'll let me inside

Just then the students started pouring in for dinner. Draco took a glance at the door, the quickly put his head down.

"Dont let Pansy Parkison see me with you!" He whispered. Esme didn't know what he was talking about until a black haired, stuck-up nosed girl came and sat in front of Draco.

"Hi Dracy-Poo!" She said, too sweetly for Esme's tastes. She stiffled a giggle.

"how many times do I have to tell you!? Dont call me that!" He shouted at her and she looked hurt.

"But Draco! Anyway, who is THIS!?" She snarled and pointed at Esme even though they were currently the only ones at the table.

"Pansy,"Draco said,"This is my new friend Esme. She is one of the new students that came from Onyx's."

"Oh yes..." Pansy stuck up her nose even higher."She looks like me."

"Um," Esme laughed this time, and so did Draco."I do NOT look like you. Have you noticed that you have BLACK ahir and I have WHITE?"

"Still," Pansy squeeked.

All it takes is time to see.
All you need is room to breathe.
I can feel it through my mind,
Now all you need is me.

[[Dani and Dracy

"How AWESOME was that class Fred!?" Dani squeeled as all five laughed about their first classes of the day.

"Oh god, I couldn't BELIVE the look on Ronniekins face when you blew up that bowl in his face! It was priceless!" Fred said between fits of laughter. They all sat at the Gryffindor table.

"Oh did you guys hear?"Darcy spoke up,"Me and George have our first Detention already!" She giggled as Geogre did a very impressive impression of Snape.

"Detention after school for you AND Mr. Weasley for not LISTENING! Even if you can't REMEMBER anything, maybe you can remember 6:30!Sharp!" George mocked and everyone laughed.

As they talked about their other classes, Professor Dumbledor came to the front of the Hall.

"Attention students!" He annouced,"Before we start our Dinner, I would like to make a very special anouncement! this year we will be holding the Tri Wizard Tournament!"

"Wicked!" Fred and George chimed.

"And we will be haveing a Yule Ball! So now," He concluded,"Let us eat!"

Come to me. I'll set you free
Come to me. Make me believe you'll,
Come to me, and I will help you crawl,
Won't let you fall, show you how to breathe.
So come to me.
