Sorry for the wait guys. I have been really busy (even though it is summer, weird huh?) I also have come up with a new story…. It's a Draco/Hermione and it is much darker and sadder then this one, it's also rated M (for a reason), it's an angst fic.

But back to this story: I have a brand new beta! (well I never had a beta before so she can't be "new") Okay fine I have a Beta now! YEA! I'm really happy so now all you grammar freaks can read my story without going, "Ugh she just ruined this sentence with her wrongly placed predicate adjective!" (is that even possible, if so I have probably done it…..) sigh I stink at grammar so that stinks because grammar and writing are practically married. BUT why am I sulking? Everything is good now because I have a BETA! All my problems are solved!

Disclaimer: Ya'll would think that by now you know that I own Harry Potter right…. JK JK! sulks for a moment I don't own Harry Potter. If I did the stories would probably be much worse……

A message from the Beta: Hey you guys! I just wanted to say that if you find any a lot of grammar/spelling mistakes could you send me a message about them, so I could improve as a Beta? All you have to do if you do want to send me a message is go to and then click on send message. Thanks!

Excerpt from Ch. 13

"No I don't have a gir-" realization dawned on his face and his lips formed a silent O. "This is about Rivers isn't it?" I looked away and he mumbled, "That's why." Then to me he said, "She has liked me for a long time but I never liked her. She is too dramatic and gossipy for me. Anyway," he blushed, "I only like one girl."

"Who?" I asked anticipating the answer.

"You," he replied. My eyes looked up into his and I knew he was being honest.

I reached up to push his feather out of his face and whispered, "I like you too."

I leaned up in his embrace as he leaned down and our lips met in a gentle kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his closer. It was like there was no one else on earth except us. Subconsciously I heard people cheering and we slowly pulled apart to see that everyone had been watching and now were cheering.

I felt myself blushing and looked down at my feet.

I smiled at the crowd and gave a sheepish wave. My hand remained in James, and it felt so right. The crowd eventually went back to their dancing as they got over the shock, but you could still hear them whispering. James turned to me.

"So, are you ready for this?" He asked.

"Ready for what?" I replied. He subconsciously ran a hand through his hair and continued.

"To be my girlfriend. But if you don't want to, I mean, I just figured with us-"

I touched my hand to his lips to silence him.

"I'm ready," I whispered so only he could hear. He grinned and pulled me close. We danced every song together. My hands were around his neck while his arms held my waist. It seemed like nothing was wrong in the world at that moment. It was perfection.

The next couple weeks passed by as a dream come true. James and I stole kisses behind teacher's backs and in the halls. Pushing hair out of each other's eyes and holding hands became our normal ways of affection. The school didn't seem all that shocked about out relationship. In fact, in Sam's words, they were all thinking the same thing, "Finally!"

James and I were partnered up in Transfiguration. It was his strongest and my weakest subject. He was trying to help me get the wand movement right when a first year came up to me with a message from Dumbledore.

I started to pack up my things when James voiced aloud what we were both wondering, "Why are you going to Professor Dumbledore's office?"

"I don't know," I wondered, "I would think it would be about Head girl duties, but he hasn't called you up. It must be something important though."

"I'll get your stuff for you. See you at lunch"

"Got it."

I nodded and paced down to the Headmaster's office. I knew right away that something was wrong. His face was glum and his eyes had lost their twinkle. He looked like he was a lot older and weary than his usual.

"Please sit down Miss Evans." I did so and he continued, "There is a new dark wizard rising in power named Lord Voldemort. Have you heard of him?"

"Yes, I have heard of him. He is the one that is attacking all the muggles and muggle-borns, right?"

"That's correct. Now I'm very sorry to say that there was another attack on the muggles killing hundreds. The ministry's been trying to hush it up to keep the wizarding world at peace and not worried."

I kept listening, trying to find its relevance to me. He took a breath and continued, "Your parents were both murdered in the attack. Your sister is fine though. I'm truly sorry Miss Evans. The funeral is this Saturday and we will have Professor McGonagall apparate you there and back."

My parents were dead. Dead.

This is where I will end it.
