Authors Note: I'm sooo sorry. I had massive writers block on this chapter. I still kinda do… anyways, I know the last chapter was kind of shocking to some but, I said at the very beginning, they're going to get OOC.

Hermione starred at her. "Amber, you know what you're getting into. You know he loves Ginny."

Amber sighed. "Yes, 'Mione. I know." She began to twirl a piece of her hair. "It's just… he saved me. You never know, I could be stranded in some hallway, beat up, drugged up, and possibly pregnant. Thank Merlin Harry was randomly walking down the hall."

"Actually, it wasn't randomly…"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, we were all sitting in the common room, we being, Harry, Ronald, and me, and Harry was looking for something on the Marauder's Map. Personally, I think it was you. Anyways, he's looking and his eyes got really wide. He noticed your dot struggling against Malfoy's. So he got up without saying a word, and left."

"He really cares…" Amber whispered.

"Amber… don't-"

"Oh, come on, Hermione. He wouldn't have come if he didn't care."

"Yes, but-"

"Hermione, he cares about me."

"Amber-"

"I've got to go." Amber jumped up from her bed and walked over to the door. She sighed and turned around. "Hermione, I'm sorry it's just, I think… I think… I'm in love. That's an odd feeling for me. I've never liked anyone more than a friend."

Hermione smiled. "You'll get him." Amber smiled back and walked out the door.

She walked the grounds, silently humming to herself, enjoying the cool spring breeze. Everything seemed to be set into place. Well, not everything.

Amber missed her best friend. While everything with Harry was wrong, Draco seemed to make everything right. She loved him, she knew she did, but after that party she realized that he was only her best friend. She could tell him things she could never tell Hermione.

"Amber?" She froze. Her eyes dilated as she pulled her wand out of her back pocket and turned slowly.

"Take one more step and you're toast." Draco raised his hands as if he was being arrested.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I just wanted to apologize."

"You've got 30 seconds." She pointed her wand at him.

"Aw, come on, Amber…"

"1, 2, 3, 4…"

"Okay, okay. I was drunk. I don't remember much other than that but, I didn't realize what I was doing. I didn't know I was going to hurt you."

"Yeah, you did anyways." He started to walk towards her. She froze again.

"I'm sorry."

"Apology not accepted." She backed up.

"Please, Amber. You don't know how much sleep I've lost because I've been so sorry."

"Does it look like I care?"

"I-I guess not…" He turned and walked away. Amber was torn between two sides. Should she run after him or should she walk back? She closed her eyes, sighed, and broke into a run.

"Draco! Wait!" But he was already gone.
