Disclaimer : I own nothing and I would like to thank one of my friends for she has help me get over this horrible writers-block I have been having. Also thanks for having patience with me mi have been working so much lately that the second I get home from work I fall asleep.

Sorry this is just a redone chapter.

Seconds after Kristen blacked out she came to flat on the floor. The first thing she noticed with satisfaction that Maria was holding her nose while blood was gushing out. Then just as Pansy and the creepy boy ran over to her the crowd started to form around her. The first ones to reach her were Draco and Harry both looked very worried soon the others followed. To save at least part of her pride she tried to get up before to many people got over to see exactly what happened unfortunately the second she put her right wrist down on the hard stone floor the familiar pain shot through herwrist again almost causing another black out. She hated feeling so weak.

" Don't try and get up you just passed out lay back down." Draco said as he gently pushed her back down. Of coarse she had to try and push back up as a tall figure broke through the sea of people. It was Professor Diggory follow by Professor McGonagall.

"What is the meaning of this." The stern women asked the large group of teenagers.

"She punched Maria."

"Kristen passed out." Pansy and Hermione said at the same time. McGonagall got ready to ask again but Cedric only seemed to have heard the part about Kristen passing out and kneeled down next to her taking Harry's place by her head.

"Professor McGonagall I think that if Miss Lanolin did faint I should take her to the hospital wing." Cedric used his charm to sway the woman.

"Very well Professor Diggory but I will be down shortly." Then once he had gotten his answer he reached over and picked her up bridal style and set off towards the hospital. Once they got past the crowd Kristen seemed to recover from the shock of him picking her up she fought against his restraint.

"Put me down I hurt my wrist not my legs so let me down." She kicked against him as if to prove her point.

"Don't be simple you passed out obliviously you did more than simply hurt your wrist. Now stop struggling." She didn't of course like he expected she had a fight in her and his response only made her fight harder. He admired her persistence and the fire that she had within her. That was of course before she brought back the palm of her uninjured hand and shoved it into his nose. "Shit." He yelled in pain and for a split second he almost let her go but regained his bearing. Then as he looked down at her he could feel the blood trickling down his nose.

"You know that hitting a teacher is not the way to improve your situation."

"But it help relieved some stress." Kristen said sarcastically looking up into his deep eyes. Like her the eye connection did something to him he knew that he should be mad but all he could was think of all the ways he could whisk her away from here but he figured that she probably wouldn't appreciate that.

Kristen decided to try a different tactic to being put down. She knew that from past experience that most men would give her what want if she gave her puppy dog look. Of course Professor Diggory was different he didn't see her as anything more than a annoying student who was crappy at spells and got into fights.

"Please Professor." She looked up at him through her thick lashes. "I'm no damsel please put me down." She begged in a sultry but still innocent voice.

"No." He stood firm. She knew it wouldn't work but she had hoped that he held even a fraction of attraction for her that she felt towards him. Little did she know he did if she was any lower on his body she would feel exactly how much he was attracted to her. Then since she knew she was defeated and while she would never admit it she wanted to talk to him.

"So what were you before you came back?"

"Not much I was in training to be a healer but I can restart where I was in my training actually I was almost done." She smiled down at her as he completely forgot that she hit him and that blood was slowly running down his face.

"What's it like?" She really did seem interested in hearing him explain his career.

"Well like I said I was still in training but it involves a lot of hard work and almost fifty hours of clinicals a week. It is very rewarding though I like to help others and I seem to have a gift for it."

"That sound interesting I don't think I could do anything like that I've never been good at communicating with others."

"Yeah I noticed." He made a gesture to her current situation. They both started to laugh and were shocked to hear how the melody's of their laughs seemed to intertwine.

They were so caught up in the little world they build around them that they didn't realize when the were standing outside of the hospital just waiting neither moving until Madam Pomfrey came out the door and ushered them in.

"Set her down on a bed." He gently sat her down but in doing so lost all contact with her and it was replaced by this tingling sensation of lost. He then took his place next to her as she sat annoyed on the bed.

Kristen had many reasons to be annoyed first she was her sitting in the hospital the bain of her existence. The second was she was about to have people buzzing around her asking her questions and trying to fix her wrist. The last reason was the most confusing this was the one that she didn't understand. Once Professor Diggory had put her down she felt that she lost something and she knew it would never be gone until he was back near her and not in this room full of people. Okay so there was only one other person but it was a hospital so that must count for something.

Madam Pomfrey came back to them with all of her supplies when she caught a good glimpse of Cedric's nose.

"What happened to you?" Kristen got ready for getting yelled at for punching a teacher.

"I um ran into a door." Cedric looked over at Kristen and smiled as he lied. She knew what had happened a silent pact had been reached.

"Professor Diggory I think you realize that your nose isn't broken so why don't you go clean up and get back to your class." He stood there reluctant to leave but with one last look at the beautiful student he headed to the lavatory to clean up.

Madam Pomfrey then came over to Kristen with a large file in her hand. "Miss Lanolin Healer Stoker from Salem warned my that I may be seeing a lot of you. Let's see that wrist." She then took Kristen wrist and examined it. "Well there's not much I can do the other healers were right it will have to heal naturally. I will reset it and but another splint on your arm." Then much to Kristen dismay McGonagall came through the large doors. Now Kristen thought that McGonagall was an amazing teacher she knew she probably didn't appreciate students punching other students in face.

"So Miss Lanolin would you can to explain yourself , the others have already given their story."

" I walked out of class only to be surrounded by Maria, Pansy, and the creepy guy."

"I think you mean Mr. Nott."

"Probably well they started to yell things at me and finally Maria said something that just sent me over the edge and I just snapped and punched her." McGonagall was getting ready to say something but Kristen wasn't done. " And just to let you know if I had a chance to go back I would do the same thing again." McGonagall was shocked but at the same time the fight that she had reminded her of herself at that age.

"What exactly did she say?"

"Well you of course know of the fire in Salem well when me and one of my friends went back in to get those still stuck in there." Every word was harder to get out. "We got most of them out we tried we really did try." She was basically begging McGonagall to believe them. "Well there was still some in there we couldn't get to." She took a moment to compose herself before her cool exterior was back in place. "Well Maria brought up the fact that I let those boys died." There was a silent pause as Kristen waited for judgment the only noise was Madam Comfrey bustling around.

"Seeing as your head of house is away the jurisdiction for punishment falls on me. Saying that I have decided that you will serve one weeks worth of detention with me. I want to assure you that the others involved are also being punished. Now I think that you would probably want to get to lunch." With that she went to go out the doors but just as she reached them she turned around with a mischievous glint in her eyes. " Good show today in class.

Once she got down to the Great Hall the gossip of what happened in the hallway was already spreading each seeming more reticulate than the last so much so that one story ended with Kristen and Nott making their way to the nearest broom closet. Kristen didn't care though she didn't even want to be there. She wasn't hungry and she didn't want all of those people staring at her. She sat down next Luna the only one she thought wouldn't make a big deal about the fight.

"Hey Luna how has you day been?"

"Quite productive. Have you seen my left shoe though I seem to be missing it."

"Your missing a shoe."

"Yeah I figure someone probably took it but it could have been the nargles."

"Why would people take your things Luna?"

" If you haven't noticed the others don't really like me. They think I'm weird they call me Loony when they think I'm not listening." She seemed upset but not in a I have no friends way but in a they don't know what they're missing.

"Well as long as I'm around people won't do that to you anymore I'll see to it."

"You don't have to I know you only sit with me because you feel sorry for me."

"That's not true I think you're pretty cool you do your own thing and don't let what others say influence how you act. You were one of my first friends here."

"Who else are you friends with?"

"Well from what I have heard I have to very opposite groups of friends."

"Who?"

"Well Draco, Blaise and then Neville, Harry, Hermione."

"Wow that is what I call different."

"Yeah I know, but they were all nice to me so I don't care." Lunch soon passed and Kristen and Luna went there separate ways. Luna to Divination and Kristen was off to DADA. Unlike some of the other N.E.W.T level classes this one was divided up between the two houses Ravenclaw was with Slytherin.

This is going to be interesting. Kristen thought to herself as she saw Pansy and Nott boy entering the class. Fortunately Draco and Blaise seemed to know the others were going to be there so they sat on the other side of the room and left room for Kristen in between them. When she sat down she noticed that the others in the room were staring at her but one look at Draco's face and they decided that it wasn't worth the risk of getting on his bad side then so they turned around and left her only to start gossiping.

"Just ignore them they are always looking for something to talk about." Blaise told her loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Don't I can handle myself." She knew that she really wasn't good with dealing with this type of attention but she couldn't be show weakness to them.

"We know you can but that doesn't mean we don't want to help you to kick their asses." At this point she knew that she had made some friends not only did she have the two sitting beside her she had Luna, Hermione, and she thought maybe even Harry.

"Whatever macho man I still say I could take care of myself." Before they replied Professor Snape came into the room. Now Kristen thought that Snape was a good teacher not as good as some others but he defiantly knew what he was talking about. Another thing was that he was very strict and very bias towards his own house. They were going to be starting silent spells the next time so they were going over everything that could go wrong. With Blaise and Draco by her side she felt happy again like when she was talking to Hermione and the others.

Unfortunately this happiness lasted only as long her tormentors stayed quiet. Of course as soon as she stood up Nott came over and slapped hr ass very hard. He also had to add his one little snide comment. "You really are a slut." She was done with him and turned around to show him exactly what she thought of him. As her luck would have it Nott was flat on his back and Draco was standing above him with a clenched fist. Snape who witnessed the whole thing just looked on as the scene played out.

The whole class was silent just looking from Nott to Kristen. Then like a hoard of hornet's they all started the whispering again only this time Kristen couldn't take it and ran to her room and hide in the pillow. Luckily that was her last class of the day and she didn't feel hungry enough to eat dinner so she just stayed there until she heard a pecking n the window.

Outside there was a common barn owl at the window. She let it end figuring it was probably one of her roommates since she knew that none of her friends hadn't even gotten her letters yet let alone reply to them. But she wasn't about to let the poor owl stay out there in the slightly chilled autumn air. She gave it a treat and then let it rest for a little she also got a little dish and filled it with water. The letter set forgotten on the desk while Kristen went back to reading until Padma came in. To change before coming going back out. As she went to get her makeup off the desk she grabbed the letter.

"Aren't you going to open it?"

"Why?"

"Cause it has your name on it." She said it as if the most obvious thing in the world. She left the room as Kristen sat confused on the bed. When she saw the handwriting on the front she immediately recognized it. "Peter." She torn into the letter like there was no tomorrow. Between Peter Garrett no one knew her better they knew everything about her as she did them and they were her protectors not that she need any of it but it was nice to know that they were there for her. Peter was always there for her and he experienced first-hand what she had experienced through her childhood because he had been right there beside her the whole time.

Little sis,

Hey how is school going. It must be different not constantly living under my shadow. I'm just joking as I hope you can still figure out.

Work is going good we just got this new baby Sweetish Short Snot. I think you would love it. She has the shortest temper I have even seen for this breed. I really do hope school is going well and that you are trying to be friendly with others you know the whole first lesson play nice with others. I am rooming with this guy and he's from London with a brother in Hogwarts. My roommates name is Charlie Weasley his brother's name is Ron he also has a little sister still there named Ginny Weasley. So what house did you get sorted in to.

Oh I have some news you'll love to hear. Mom wrote me today. The normal for the most part you know saying what a disappointment I am and how I will never amount to anything. She also mention you basically the same things that she directed to me also that we're both ungrateful for all that she did for us. There was a very interesting thing at the end though that kind of unsettled me. She said that if I every wanted a change of scenery that 'your step-father has some opportunities for you' she also added that 'the world is about to change and you should know which side your on' You can probably gather what she means but I don't want to think about it but it still worries me. I mean she still is my mother and I still feel as if I owe her something. So if you can think of how I could decline this offer gently that would be helpful but you putting anything gently has never happened before.

Well I have an early morning so I better go to bed. One more thing and I know you will probably hate me for asking but has it happened any since we last talked.

Your brother forever,

Peter

Big Bear,

School is going okay you'd be surprised to know that I have made so friends (along with quite a few enemies. I already punched someone and it's only the first day.) and I have already met Ron he's okay I'm friends with his friends as well as a few others. There is Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Draco Malfoy, and Blaise Zabini. I know and guess what none of them are imaginary. And I'm glad you have a dragon with an attitude it makes things interesting. She sounds like me. Classes went okay and everyone who doesn't hate me seems nice. As for your mother problems I don't exactly know what to tell you. I would personal say that she can take her offer and shove it where the sun don't shine that would be my way of putting it nicely.

Then I'm going to be blunt I think their both death eaters I know that she's your mother and the real reason why you don't want it to be true is that because she is mother and your afraid that you will turn out to be like her but I want you to know that it won't happen. Everyone is their own person and that no matter who your parents are no matter what they do you don't have to be like them. You can't change who they are or what they've done but I know you Peter and your stronger and braver than she will even be. You're also more pure and good than she could ever hope to be and that you won't be swayed by her.

As for the house that I got in it's Ravenclaw the house for the wise so know more wise cracks about my intelligence. They want me to try out to be their seeker and I think I'm going to. Even if my wrist is still broken from the way it sounds I will probably be great compare to the rest. As for the other part of the letter yes I mad that you brought I up but I know that you care for me so I'm not to angry. I did have another incident on the plane ride over but none since then. The last one was pretty bad and there getting more intense the worst part of it all is the fact that I can't remember a single detail about it. Do you think that it is possible that I am going insane. Well with what we went through it is defendant a possibility. Oh as my brother I am positive you don't' want to know to this but there is this one temporary professor here and let me tell you that he is hot. And not just hot I'm talking god like you know sex on legs I want to jump him. Ha now that I left that nice mental picture I better be turning in.

Your little brat,

Kristen.

Kristen climbed into bed and turned of the lamp and went to sleep.

Well there's that chapter please review I only got one last time and I like to know that you guys like this story.
