KHfan22: Funny how I'm going to be "sneaking in" to my high school today... well shhhh! . Anyways yay! I love seeing my little friends! =P Review Replies!

Innocent-Monster: I'm happy to acknowledge my readers! I wish I can say "Thank you for reading (list of all readers here)!" but I can't sadly . I update every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so this story will be completed in like two or three weeks? Yep. But the sequel will take a while to get out.

Don'tLetThemSeeYourBack: I'd say, Harry found out about her feelings when she returned to the common room. I would think that he was confused at how Fayt didn't look at him and seeing Arion's concern for her he asked what was wrong with her. Ron, Hermione, and Arion, knowing that Harry and Cho had kissed and that Fayt had feelings for Harry told him reluctantly and Harry began to see the truth in their words remembering what Fayt said "I care about you and I don't say this lightly." the first week back form Hogwarts after Harry's detention with Umbridge. Buuuuut That's just my imagination. You can have your own version of how he finds out. XD Good luck on Friday! I wish you the best! Well actually it would be over when you read this so I hope it went well!

xXMizz Alec VolturiXx: Don't mind if I do! ;)

Oh I got to say I love the story The Holly and the Hawthorn by Halza Tyri. It is a Drama and Hurt/Comfort story with the characters being Draco and OC. The story is sooo deep and the author does a extremely, outstanding job of mixing the Muggle World with the Wizarding world. Oooh! You have to check it out! Anyways enough advertising and more story telling! Ta-ta for now!

Disclaimer: I thank the lovely J.K. Rowling for entertaining us for many years with her lovely stories and plots. I can't imagine how my childhood be without my favorite wizards and witches.

Dedication: This trilogy is dedicated to my good elementary friend, Cecilia and her best friend Haley!

Chapter 11

I sat in front of my grandparents graves in the middle of the forest near my house.

The cemetery was a bit smaller than other cemeteries since the only deceased occupants of this cemetery were family members of the Dragon Walkers. All the graves in front of me are pure Dragon Walkers. I guess you would call them purebloods if you use the same terms regular wizards use. I'm the first "halfblood" Dragon Walker and I'm definitely sure that the rest of the Dragon Walker race will be "halfblood" if I were to marry and have an offspring. But what if I can't continue the Dragon Walker race? I mean, I already failed to have a successful love relationship.

"From what you told me, Fayt," Mother began when I finished my story between Harry and I. "It seems you have fallen for a mere crush. True, all of our ancestors have fell in love only once, for we mate for life. But you have me, a Dragon Walker, and a wizard as a father. You're the first mix in our family and I think it's normal for you to act as a regular witch. If Harry does not love you, then he is not the one. Your soulmate lies within someone else and it's up to you to decide where you can find him or not." She said.

I hugged my knees and closed my eyes. "What do you think grandmother? Do you really think he's out there somewhere?" I whispered. "Will I be able to love someone without him hurting me? Love is so frustrating." I growled and shivered against the cold. I stood up and bowed at my grandparent's graves before heading for the trail that led home. I stomped my feet before entering the house. I greeted the warm air and the smell of familiar cookies… I rushed to the kitchen to see my mother standing in front of an oven reading a book. "Mum, are you making cookies?" I asked.

She turned to me and smiled. "Your grandmother may be gone, but not her special cookie recipe. She taught it to me when I was your age." She said.

I laughed. "Arion will be happy that the cookies are still here." I said.

Mother gave a laugh. "Grandmother's cookies are irresistible." She said.

I had arrived at Grimmauld Place with mother so I could just follow them to the Kings Cross Station the day after but when mother asked where Sirius and Harry was there turned out to be a fight or at least the start of a duel.

"NO! Sirius don't—" Harry yelled and there was a tumble of chairs that made us alert.

"Are you calling me a coward?" roared Sirius.

"Why, yes, I suppose I am." Professor Snape replied.

"Harry—get—out—of—it!" Sirius snarled and mother threw the door open.

She waved her hands and pushed Sirius and Professor Snape against the opposite walls. She aimed so well that they actually managed to not knock anything over. "I came merrily to escort Sirius and Harry to the mansion and I see you two acting like little children. Are you two 36 or 16?" She snapped.

"I'll have you know, Lina, I did not start the fight." Professor Snape straightened and brushed his black clothes. "Do not interfere with my matters." He said.

"I was just showing Snivellus what he deserves, Lina! I can't believe you're supporting and protecting him after what he's done to you." Sirius said making Harry and I turn to Snape.

"I am on no one's side. I do not side with such children!" She snapped and turned to Snape. "Don't you have anything else to do than stand there?" She asked hotly.

Professor Snape once again straightened his clothes before heading for the door. "Six o'clock Monday evening Potter." Professor Snape disappeared and Sirius sat down eyeing mother who was looking down on him with hard eyes.

"What's going on here?" Mr. Weasley asked and everyone, who had come to see the fight, turned to him.

"Nothing Arthur, just a friendly little chat between two old school friends." Sirius said. He gave a forced smile. "So… you're cured? That's great news, really great…" He said.

"Yes isn't it? Healer Smethwyck worked his magic in the end, found antidote to whatever that snake's got in his fangs, and Arthur's learned his lesson about dabbling in Muggle medicine, haven't you dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked her husband menacingly which made me smile.

"Yes, Molly dear." Mr. Weasley said meekly.

"Well, yes… and Lina…" Sirius said catching my mother's attention. "I'm terribly sorry about your mother." He said.

Mother gave a pained look but smiled. "It's quite alright, Sirius. She's safe at home." She whispered.

We had dinner with everyone and I gave everyone my presents that I couldn't give them for Christmas.

I laughed when mother set down the cookies she made the day before and Arion grabbed some happily. "Don't worry, Ari. Mum taught me and I can always make more." I said.

Arion tackled me in his dog form and began to lick my face. Honestly, I don't know how many times I was forced to playfully kiss Arion…

I was checking out books in the Library when I spotted Malfoy heading towards me. I sighed and handed my books to Madam Pince so she could check them out for me.

"Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Lupin." Malfoy said as he appeared at my side holding a book in his hands.

I glanced at it. "Faking a check out to come and talk to me? Maybe I should consider your feelings for me that you've shown me since last year. You seem very desperate." I muttered under my breath.

"Is it a crime to be nice?" He glared and I smirked. His face turned pink with rage as I replied, "For you, yes." He pulled out a small silver box and glared at it. "Well then maybe I can change the reciever to Pansy if you're going to be that way." He said.

I grabbed all of my books and stuffed them under my arm and turned to him. "Go ahead. You're girlfriend will be delighted." I said.

He scowled at me and gave his book to Madam Pince. He shoved the box into my free hand and grabbed his book a second after Madam Pince finished checking it out for him.

"Don't bother with that boy, Ms. Lupin." Madam Pince said. "You might as well throw it away. He is nothing but trouble." She said.

I smiled. "I'm glad you see him the way I do." I joked and bid her a good day before leaving the library. I examined the box and stuffed it into my bag as I heard Arion run up to me.

"Geez, Fayt, you really need that many books?" He asked taking a few books.

I smiled. "I do want to have a passing grade on my homework. Don't you?" I asked.

He sighed. "Yeah, yeah," he said as we made our way towards the Common Room. "Hey, can I borrow those after you?" He asked.

I didn't answer. I was watching Harry and Cho talk to each other. My ear naturally caught their conversation about Hogmeade on Valentine's Day. I turned away from them, finding it boring yet somewhat heart breaking and looked at Arion. "What was that?" I asked.

"Are you alright?" He asked noticing Harry and Cho nearby.

"Yeah, come on, you can use these books for your homework as well." I said and quickly made for the Common Room. Arion and I immediately began our homework given to us the day after we returned from break. Arion and I worked together alone and silently, save for a few arguments about Ancient Runes again, ignoring the laughter and screams where Fred and George were showing their "headless hats" item.

The only thing that caught Arion's eye was Harry, Ron, and Hermione who just entered the common room from the library. "They're here." Arion said and I allowed myself a quick glance at them.

I turned back to my Defense Against the Dark Arts essay scowling at the sudden flip that stomach did and the sinking feeling on my heart. "Thanks a lot Ari. Now I'm distracted by my emotions…" I muttered at him and he frowned. I had told him what my mother told me and how I accepted this fact. I was frustrated at Harry and I had a feeling that he will only frustrate me even more in the future, but I could not help my current feelings. Right now my heart was still stubborn to let Harry go. Who knows he and Cho might not work. Said the little voice in my head that's not Athena.

Arion raised my cooling charmed bag of chocolates. "If you finish your homework I'll give you a piece of chocolate." He bribed.

I gave a laugh. "Nicely done, Ari, but you very well know I can overpower you in a wrestling match." I said.

"Hey, the score's only 22 to 23 to you. You just wait my little precious, I'll get at you yet." He smirked.

I smirked at him and returned to my essay. Before I could finish a whole paragraph I could feel Fred and George sneaking up on me. "Don't even try. You know what happened last time you played a prank on me." I said and turned to them.

They gave me surprised but guilty looks. "Sorry Fayt, but that was four years ago. Besides this time it's completely safe." Fred said.

I eyed them.

During my first year at Hogwarts I had overworked myself on the grounds of Hogwarts and took a nap with Arion. It was a few hours when I realized Fred and George had played what seemed to be a harmless prank.

I felt the wind brush my face and I shivered against the cold. I opened my eyes and screamed when I saw the Black Lake underneath me. I felt the magic that was holding me over the Lake disappear and I hit the Lake with a cold and loud splash. I felt fear rise within me and I struggled to make my way to the surface but I didn't know how to swim because of the fear of large bodies of water passed down from my mother and her my grandmother. I felt myself sinking further until an arm grabbed me. Whoever caught me pulled me out of the lake and laid me on the shore.

"Fayt! Fayt wake up!" Arion's voice yelled as he shook me.

I opened my eyes and gave a scream. "No! Not the water!" I screamed.

"Fayt, you're out of the lake. You're safe on land." Arion said.

I hugged him sobbing.

Fred and George were punished with detention but when they found out that I was thalassophobic, thalassophobia being the excessive fear of large bodies of water, they found the guilt of throwing me into the lake a much harder punishment.

"Well, if you haven't noticed we are two fifth years trying to finish our homework." I said.

Fred and George sat down making me roll my eyes in amusement and annoyance. They look my homework and read it. "Are you a fifth year or a seventh year?" George blinked with amazement. "You have stuff in here that's we're trying to learn in our books!" George said.

Arion rolled his eyes. "Well, Fayt is the daughter of Remus and Lina Lupin, students with nearly as much intelligence as Harry's mother." Arion droned as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"It doesn't really matter how brilliant it is," I said taking my homework back. "The toad is constantly giving me As while everyone else is happy to give me Os and Es." She said. "She doesn't want me to pass because she's a half-breed hater and it's only fair that she at least gives me a passing grade for my efforts in my homework and class. I have absolutely nothing to do in that class because I, like Hermione, read both books in my spare time…" I ranted hotly. "I read them three times and the chapter on the well being of halfbreeds like werewolves, centaurs, and other half-breeds makes me want to rip the book in pieces!" I didn't realize I was yelling angrily until I finished for the whole room was silent and had their attention towards me.

Fred, George, Arion, Hermione, and Ron looked at me worriedly as I stuffed all my things into my bag and stormed up the stairs to the girl's dorms.

I dumped my bag on the bed and spotted the silver box fly out of the bag. I felt my anger dim and I curiously took the box in my hand. I ran my fingers against the soft surface and read the elegant handwriting:

To: Fayt

From: Draco

I took the lid off the box and felt my lips curve into a smile as I stared at a necklace with a silver crescent moon with a star sitting inside the curve. I drew the curtains and laid on my bed staring at the necklace. I couldn't wear it for it meant I approved of Draco constantly bothering me like an insect. But I was still touched at his thoughtful gift. I closed my eyes letting my hands fall to my side clutching the necklace.

Young Malfoy, although he is an annoying pest, actually pays much more attention to you than Harry. Athena told me. Although I must warn you. He might be trying to get close for the benefits of his father, Lucius Malfoy. She gave a growl and I felt her cautious anger.

I nodded. I know very well that Malfoy is the son of a Death Eater for my mother actually fought him during the first war. I'm very sure that Malfoy told his father about Arion and me and looking at our parents we might actually have important information in our knowledge. I placed my bag next to my trunk and hid the silver box deep within my truck there was less of a chance of it being found. After I changed into my night clothes, I pulled my curtains around my bed and went to sleep.

KHfan22: Happy Extremely Early Christmas and New Years -.-" The schedule of release is completely off seeing that this chapter is for Christmas and the chapter set on Valentine's Day is coming up next. LOL... fail... I think I'll add a real Valentine's day special on the day of Valentine's Day, of course it'll be long after this story is finished being published so it's up to you if you stand by or not ;)

Who else likes to rant about Umbridge as much as Fayt does? Raise your hand and get a virtual cookie! =D
