She froze and I felt my fists clench as I reached into my cloak in exactly the same motion as George. To my surprise though, Melody quickly flicked her wand at George and I, and we were both rendered frozen. I tried my hardest to counter the jinx but no matter what I did I couldn't move a muscle. She sent us her thought and just before the two of us could protest her lightning fast thought she shut us out with a thick wall of white noise.

"I'm telling him and leaving don't follow for a while… both of you… you'll know when you can come, you'll feel it."

She stood up taller looking at him with tears in her eyes walked down the row to where he sat with Harry and Hermione looked deeply into his eyes and then just as deeply into Hermione's. After she did this she looked back at Ron and spoke six words that sounded like a curse not even the cruelest of human being could utter.

"She will never truly love you."

After she said this her tears grew in size and she rushed out of the great hall and out in to the corridors. I looked at George who looked just as worried as I felt and he looked down the table at Ron who sat in blank silence with a look of shock on his face. I looked back at George who was staring so intently and decided that he could take care of Ron and sent a quick thought that I was going out to look for our dear Melody. He nodded never taking his eyes off of Ron who had seen the stares we were giving him. His eyes grew in size as the true fear set in of the consequences of what he had done.

"Wait Fred, she said not to look for her. We'll know when to go… It'll only upset her more if you look for her."

"Damn I forgot… What if she doesn't come to the room tonight? What do you think she's doing?
You think she'll be alright?"

"Hey, hey, calm down. She'll be fine, she wouldn't do anything horrible… She wouldn't do that again Fred. She wouldn't just up and leave, not again."

"Do you feel that? Is that her?"

"Yeah I think it is… We should look for her now. She said we should look for her if we both feel it."

We walked through the corridors playing a game of hot or cold. The closer we got the stronger the feeling and the opposite for the farther away we were. When we found her she was in our room. She had pushed her bed against the walls in the corner and had the curtains drawn all around. We heard her sniffling and shuffling around on the sheets. Walking over we peeked in the sheets and what we saw shocked us. She was lying in the bed under her sheets staring at the ceiling with a blank expression.

"Melody… How are you feeling?" I asked a bit timid.

She looked over at us with the blank expression and made a small smile that didn't reach her eyes and raised her arms at us and we both took off our top robes leaving us in our sweaters and pants and crawled in with her wrapping our arms around her. I grabbed her wrists and looked closely for any small thin scars that had been healed with magic. When I found none I looked in her eyes apologetically.

"Sorry darling, but it never hurts to check."

"It's not like I've never done that before, and never will I do it again. I understand why you would check given my history. Feel free to check anytime."

"As long as you tell me you don't I'll believe you."
