Hey everyone! I hope that you like everything so far. I want to remind everyone that reviews are awesome and it only takes about a minute to write them. I want to thank my good friend, SpideyGirlParker2008, for always reviewing and making sure that I am happy. (It doesn't help that she knows where I live! lol!) Anywho, warning: Draco is a bit of a jerk in this chapter. I hope that you do enjoy it though and have an awesome summer! Look out for more of my fanfiction!

Draco visited Echo all of the time. She left the hospital about a week later. She was given a warm party back home in celebration of her recovery. The Order was getting ready to move on. The reign of terror set upon by Voldemort was over. A new age of witches and wizards was about to begin. Ginny and Harry were also getting married and planned to move into Grimmauld. Draco was planning on moving with his mother back to their old home. Echo planned on moving into a cottage that was about an hour away from the Malfoy Mansion. Despite all of Draco's pleading, Echo refused to move in with him. She felt that it would hurt their relationship. "But we've technically lived together for two years!" Draco argued with his girlfriend.

"Draco, I am not going to fight with you on this" Echo said firmly as she packed. Draco was lying on her bed as she tried to cram all of her stuff in her four suitcases. He was tired. Echo didn't know why but Draco had been researching the happenstance of the force field. He was determined to figure out why the spell backfired.

The few times that he did talk to Echo about it hadn't turned out well. She turned agitated and upset about it. In a way, Echo was scared about how far her powers went. Even though Draco knew that he should stop searching, he couldn't. The curiosity was slowly killing him. What was it about Echo, a common muggle-born that caused her to have such extravagant powers?"

"…So I think that I might teach at Hogwarts or something. I don't know what to do. I mean…Draco, have you been listening to a word I've said?" Echo asked exasperated. Draco jumped.

"I am sorry, Echo. I've been really busy lately and I…I'm sorry" Draco said sincerely. He got up and kissed his sulking girlfriend's forehead. "I am all ears."

"I just have no idea what I am going to do about work, Draco." Echo said, trying to let go the fact he had ignored her previous rant. As she packed, he stood behind her massaging her shoulders lightly. "I am stressed and I really want to work at something that I love…"

"I know you do" Draco interrupted quietly. "But you also have to remember that hefty three million galleons that the Ministry is giving us every year for serving in the Order. Who would've thought that going against the law would make you wined up with cash?" Draco joked lightly, kissing her neck.

Echo turned around and put her arms around his neck. "I don't want to end up not working for the rest of my life though." Echo said, her hands playing with Draco's hair. He grinned.

"But it's a living in itself" He said kissing her softly. They stood like that looking at each other for a moment.

"What aren't you telling me?" Echo asked quietly. Draco kept his cool.

"What do you mean?"

"Come on, butthead. I know you better than that. You've been trying to hide something from me since I came back from the hospital. What is it?" Draco knew that Echo would react if he told her so he remained silent for a few minutes.

"I've been investigating you." He said. Echo's arms dropped to her sides in shock.

"What?" Echo asked coolly. Draco sighed. This wasn't going to turn out well.

"I am trying to figure out what happened that night. You were interested in the beginning. I am just trying to find the truth."

"But it doesn't matter!" Echo said turning her back to him and fixing her bag up.

"It matters to me. My life was spared by some force and I want answers." Echo looked guilty. Draco's eyes widened as he took in her face. "You know don't you?" Echo looked down at her hands.

"Draco…" But he wouldn't let her finish.

"What is it? Why can't you tell me?" Draco demanded, grabbing her arm and twirling her to face him. Her eyes filled with tears.

"I…I just can't" Echo said. "You'd hate me and I can't bear that."

"After all of this time, you still don't trust my judgment!" Draco yelled angrily.

"Because I know you!" Echo said just as angry as she pushed down the lid to her suitcase.

'What's that supposed to mean?" Draco asked annoyed.

"That you don't take change very well or unknown information. You won't accept this! I know that you won't!"

"Try me!"

"No!" Echo yelled "I won't try you! I'll protect you!"

"Protect me? From what!"

"From myself!" Echo said tearfully.

The two stared each other down. Echo was crying openly and bitterly as Draco watched her, frustrated by her lack of trust. "I am not going to jeopardize your life to fill your curiosity."

"Well by doing that you're jeopardizing our relationship!"

"Well that is a risk I am willing to take!" Echo said stubbornly.

"Then it's over!" Draco thundered. Echo flinched as her tears flowed openly.

"Fine! I hope that you won't die by the unknown!" She took off her necklace and tossed it at him. Then Echo grabbed her suitcases and Aparated. Draco paced the room angrily. How dare she do that to him? If she knew, she should've told him! After all she is his…Draco's head shot up. It just hit him that because of his stupidity, he had just dumped the woman that he was in love with.
