I wrapped my scarf closer around my neck as the wind picked up. I was sitting in the middle of Quidditch pitch. I tried getting my broom out, but it was lock and I didn't feel like breaking off the lock. I pulled my knees to my chest and buried my head in my knees. I couldn't stop crying, it was starting to get late, but I couldn't get up to go to dinner. I didn't want to see Draco.

"Alex!" I looked over my shoulder to see Philip jogging towards me. I knew he would find me before everyone else. I stood up and brushed the snow off my jeans and coat. I know my eyes were bright red from crying, but I smiled and put on a happy face. Philip saw right through that and pulled me into a hug. The second my face was buried in his chest I busted out in tears. I held him as tight as I could. I was so thankful to have my big brother. I don't know what I would do without him.

"I know this is hard for you. I would say I understand, but I really don't know. I don't know what you are thinking." I pulled back and rubbed the tears off my cheeks. "Thanks Philip. I can't help my fe…" I stopped when I heard hissing. I glanced around the pitch. Philip grabbed my arm pulling me towards him.

"Please tell me you hear that." I whisper suddenly getting extremely cold. "Clear your head."

"What?"

"Do it! Now" He snapped shaking my shoulders. I finally realized what was about to happen. Voldemort was trying to get in my head. I closed my eyes and cleared my head. I thought of nothing. My mind was completely blank.

"You cannot stop me for seeing into your mind, Alexandra" I shooting pain went through my head, but I kept calm and kept my mind blank. The pain got worse and worse, but I kept my cool. I wouldn't let him breaking into my thoughts. I would be dead within seconds if he saw what I have been doing and Draco would be dead also. I finally dropped to my knees and held my head, but I kept my mind clear.

"You cannot hide from me forever." I felt a gust of wind go through my entire body and I fell back. Everything was turning blurry and I felt so sick to my stomach. Philip dropped to his knees and brushed my hair out of my face. "Talk to me, Alex" I tried answering him, but it was like I was frozen. I couldn't move or talk. He started to freak out; I could see it written all on his face.

"Alex! Please! Okay listen, stay awake. I'm taking you to Snape." He wrapped my arm around his neck and picked me up bridal style. My eyes started to get heavy and I was so cold. I was shaking and I was so tired. What did he do to me? "Alexandra Theodora, you stay awake!" He shook me and I grunted. I knew when you got into the school because I was starting to feel warm.

"Oh my God, Philip! What happen?" Daphne yelled and I heard running. I saw Daphne and Blaise. Blaise grabbed my hand rubbed it between his hands. He was trying to warm me up. "Merlin, her lips are blue." Blaise said as Philip began running down the hall. "The Dark Lord tried to get in her head and she blocked him out. She collapsed and then she started getting really cold… And she can't talk." Daphne ran ahead and held open Snape's classroom door. Snape was at his desk grading papers and when he looked up all color drained from his face.

"What happened? Bring her into my office." They brought me into his office and Snape made two chairs into a bed. Philip carefully put me down and stood back so Snape could check him over. Philip told him exactly what happen.

"The Dark Lord put her under a spell to have her freeze up. He probably thought she was out there alone and he thought that would be the perfect punishment for her. I have a potion to bring her out of it. Let me go look for it." Snape left his office and walked back into his classroom area.

"So, her punishment would have been her getting really sick or possibly die from the weather. What a sick bastard." Daphne hissed patting my hand that was still freezing cold. "She's like ice." Blaise muttered holding his hand against my forehead. I could hear them perfectly fine, but they didn't seem to get that.

"Who wants to go tell, Draco?" Philip asked sitting next to me and holding my hand. "Nah mate, not a good idea. He's already depressed enough about what happened in the Room of Requirement. He thinks she's pissed at him. I have never seen Draco cry, but today I did." My eyes widen or so I thought. Draco really did care about me. Draco didn't cry at all and yet he cried just because he thinks I'm mad at him. That gave me even more reason to fight back against Voldemort. Snape walked back in with a bottle of dark green liquid. He opened my mouth and poured the disgusting liquid down my throat.

I coughed and sat up quickly gagged. "That was foul!" I said gagging again and taking a glass of water from Daphne. Warmth went through me and I could help, but smile. I had just found out Draco had feelings for me. "You gave us quite a scare." Philip said giving me a kiss on the head.

"Where is Draco?" I asked standing up and walking towards Blaise. "In his room, why?" I pushed past him and took off towards the Slytherin common room. I pushed people out of my way and ran as fast as I possibly could to the common room. I said the password and ran up the boys' staircase. I found Draco's room and stopped staring at it for a while until I finally got the guts to actually open the door. I pushed it up and stepped in. The fire was roaring and Draco was sitting in his bed wrapped up in a blanket reading a thick book. He placed the book down and his eyes widen when he saw me standing in the doorway.

"Alex" I ran and jumped on his bed pulling him in for a kiss. He lightly pushed me off of him. He looked so confused and super cute. His hair was all messed up from me running my hands through it and his lips were pink from me kissing so hard. "Um, what are you doing? I mean I liked it, but aren't you mad or something." He said stuttering and placing his book on his bedside table.

"No! I just needed some time to think. Um and I realized some things."

"Well go on" I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Hell, if he wasn't going to say those words first I was going to. "I love you, Draco" He broke out into a grin; he grabbed my hands and kissed the top of each one then started kissing each fingertip. "You don't know how long I have waited to hear you say that. I have loved you for a while now. I love you, Alexandra Tasso." He said lightly kissing my lips. I giggled and kissed him back even harder.

He pulled back and looked like he was thinking. "Ah hell, why not?" He pushed me onto the bed and climbed on top of me kissing me with such passion. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed back. He started kissing my neck and collarbone. I giggled, and brought his lips back up to mine. The door slammed opened and I saw my brother walk in.

"Oi! Get off my sister, Malfoy!" Blaise was leaning against the wall laughing his ass off. Daphne was leaning against the door smiling. Draco just smirked up at Philip and shrugged. I looked down at me saw that my sweater was pushed up so it kind of looked like Draco was trying to take my sweater off. Both of our hair was really messy and our lips were bright red from all the kissing we had just done. "I don't have the right to kiss my girl?" Philip growled and pushed him off of me.

"Philip!" Philip yanked me off of the bed and pulled down my sweater. "Do not ever run off like that again! He almost killed you tonight and you run off to come snog him! No offense, mate" Draco rolled his eyes and jumped off the bed.

"None taken, but what happened tonight?"

"The Dark Lord cursed her where she pretty much almost froze to death if I wasn't there." Draco wrapped his arm around me and pulled me in close like he was trying to protect me. He ran his hand up and down my arm somewhat putting me in a trace. He and my brother were talking, but I couldn't hear them. I just kept my arms around him feeling his warmth. I loved him. And I wasn't about to let Voldemort take that away from me. I was going to fight till the end.
