Disclaimer: From the wizarding world of Harry Potter, I praise JK Rowling for unknowing that I have used her characters and the wizarding world in which she imagined. I own nothing of her characters, but from my petty fanfiction, I do own Mia and a few minor characters I have created. The character Lindsay is not of my creation but my friend who I played countless hours of Role play. Enjoy the Story!


Chapter 8

I was walking with Susan to the great Hall for Saturday's breakfast. She was talking about the Hogsmeade trip that I sadly won't be going to. Hogsmeade trips start at the beginning of October, and many students are excited seeing how today was the first Saturday in October.

"So, I hear you went to the Slytherin's party last night? That's like your third Slytherin Party." Susan said, "I hear that they never invite people from other houses unless they are a pureblood. You're the first half-blood to ever go to one!"

"Yeah, they more-less have them every week," I said as though it was no big deal.

"Did you meet any cute boys?" Susan questioned me, "Was the party fantastic?"

"Well, it was alright for a party," I said, but that was an understatement! "Who am I kidding, it was amazing!"

"I know the Hufflepuffs are going start putting together a Halloween Party. You better not miss that one." Susan explained.

"Cool! I will make sure to keep that one in mind," I said. I looked head and noticed Draco leaning against the wall next to the great hall. Lindsay walked by him and ignored him when he said hi. She was talking to Astoria.

"Did those to break up?" Susan asked. She must have seen the same thing that I saw.

"I don't know. I will talk to you later." I said and went over to Draco and she left to the great hall.

"Hey, Draco," I said. He looked up and then turned away. I could see that he was really hurt about something, but what would that be?

"What do you want Hufflepuff?" He snapped. I leaned against the wall beside him.

"Did something happen between you and Lindsay?" I questioned.

"Mind your own business," Draco said and began to walk away. I felt a pain in my chest. Why does it hurt me to see Draco acting like this? He had been nothing but mean to me but yet, I feel sorry for him. I felt a part of me wanting to go follow him and I almost did, but a voice stopped me.

"Mia!" Lindsay shouted. I turn back and smile. She smiled and hugged me.

"Wasn't last night fantastic! If only I could have found a boyfriend! Did you find one? Any sexy Slytherin catch your eye?" She laughed and let me go. My smile faded away as I looked at her confused.

"Lindsay you have a boyfriend. Draco Malfoy. He's a year ahead of you. He always calls me Hufflepuff because of my house," I said as if she was stupid. She laughed.

"What's up with people saying Draco's my boyfriend. I don't even know a Draco Malfoy. Is he cute?" She giggled, giving me a wink

"Lindsay what are you talking about?" I said not amused.

"Gees, grumpy much." She said, clearly not happy. She rolled her eyes and cross arms.

"I got to go," I said and ran down the hall where Draco. What's wrong with Lindsay? Is this why Draco's mad? More importantly what happened last night after I left the party at midnight?

I went every hall I could think of trying to find Draco. All I could think about was that I need to talk to Draco. I started to resort of classrooms and began to open them. Some are locked and other's weren't. I found a lot of empty, dusty classrooms. I open the last door in the fourth hallway, to my surprise, Draco was in there. He didn't look up at me. He just stared out the window. I closed the door behind me and slowly walked over to him.

"Draco?" I said. He finally looked over at me before looking down.

"What do you want, Half-blood?" He spat.

"I am starting to like Hufflepuff now," I mumbled and took a seat on top of a table. Though because of being a bit shorter then the desk, I had to use the chair to help me up. Silence fell between us.

"I talked to Lindsay. She doesn't remember you." I said, breaking the silence.

"Thank you for pointing out the obvious!" Draco muttered.

"Sorry," I said, "But shouldn't you be doing something. Like try and get her memory back."

"You don't understand, nor will you ever," Draco said and stood up. He passed around.

"What happened after I left? Draco, I know she wouldn't want this. She loves you." I said. "She want's nothing but to be with you."

Draco looked at me, he walked over and leaned against the table across from me. He was quiet for the longest time. Then I came to realize that he loves her as well. He loves her a lot but why do I care. Why do I just want to run out the room?

"She saw her father last night," Draco spoke up. He refused to look at me.

"Okay? What does her father have to do with this?" I questioned.

"For one, he doesn't want us together. I am too much of a distraction for her. Love is too much of a distraction for what he wants her to do." He explained. "He must have finally figured out a way to separate us and it's working."

"Why are you letting him win?" I said and slide down from the table. I placed my hand on his. He looked up and I looked up. I felt something in my chest. I removed my hand quickly and backed away. I began pacing to try and push away the feeling.

I continued, "You should make her remember. You love her yet you don't fight for her. Prove to her father that you will not give up so easily."

"I knew you wouldn't understand." He groaned.

"Tell me what I don't understand. I do know that you are torn up about this, but too much of a git to admit it to anyone." I nearly shouted. I could feel anger rush through my veins. A wave of anger, I didn't even know I had or where it came from.

"Her father is you-know-who!" Draco finally said. At first I came very confused by what he said. Who is he talking about? Then it clicked who he was talking about. Why it's a big deal.

"Shit," I said.

"Well, I still don't see the problem." I nearly choked out. It actually was a big problem, but he's just a father like everyone else here. Really there should be no problem.

"Didn't you heard what I said. It's Lord Voldemort!" Draco said almost scared.

"Yeah, but if Lindsay still stayed with you even though she is the daughter of Lord Voldemort, then she isn't scared of him. You shouldn't be either." I said. He looked at me. "Do you really want to be with her?"

"Yes." He said.

"Then we will figure out how to get her memory back. I will start researching until then I want you introduce yourself to Lindsay and make her fall in love with you." I said and began to push him towards the door. He opened the door and began to leave. "Oh and Draco, don't bring up the past. She may think your crazy."

"Okay." He said and stepped out. He turned around to face me. "Thank you, Hufflepuff."

With that he left. I closed the door and placed my back on it. What is this feeling in my heart? I slide down the door and hit my chest, trying to make the pain go away. I stopped and looked at my hand. What happened when I touched his hand? What's happening to me?
