(((Hazel walking to class)))

I had woken up late, and regretted it. I grabbed my books fast and walked swiftly down a short-cut Fred and George had shown me to the Potion's room.

It was completely deserted, so I was surprised to hear two voices around the corner. I stopped abruptly, trying to figure out who it was.

"Why've you been spending sooo much time with…her?" A girl's voice whined.

There was a pause and then a cold, male's voice replied, "You know I have to… I don't wanna be…" There was another long pause before he added, "You know, my father and the Dark Lord want me to find out about… him."

"Awwww," The girl complained, "but you're always with her now a days."

He chuckled and told her, "Oh please, I hate her. I'm only gaining her trust to learn about Potter."

My heart spend up, my thoughts racing. Who was that? I took a deep breath and turned the corner. My heart fell, and I felt tears burn in my eyes.

Pansy Parkinson had her hands on Draco's face; their lips were locked, oblivious that I was standing there. "Dr-Draco-?" I stumbled.

They jumped, and broke apart. Draco's face flushed with terror at my sight. "Hazel…. um…I-"

"Save it." I screamed at him, holding back tears.

"No, Hazel, I-" He tried to say, walking towards me.

I couldn't resist; when he got close enough I slapped him across the face. "You're just a scared, evil cockroach. Get out of my life and never talk to me again." I told him coolly, grabbing my books and running away from it all. I didn't care if I missed Potions, I ran back to the common room, tears streaming down my face.

I dropped down on a large chair and hugged my knees, sobbing hard. I couldn't believe him… He-he had used me.

Oh-no…. I had told him last week about the D.A.!

"Well, there's a group of people that are learning some spells and whatnot."

"Like against Umbridge's rule?" He asked smugly.

"Well…yeah, but I mean it's nothing bad or anything."

"Who's running it?"

I hesitated, "Harry is."

He scowled, but nodded.

"Oh no…Oh no…" I muttered, my head on my knees, still weeping. What was I going to do? If he told Umbridge….

"Hazel?" A sweet voice asked.

I looked up, trying to wipe away my tears. "Wh-what?"

Fred sat down on the arm of the chair and concerned, asked, "What's wrong?"

"hm? Nothing, nothing at all; I-I'm brilliant."

He studied my then, putting an arm around me gently said, "Haz, what happened?"

I leaned my head onto his shoulder and sobbed quietly. He let me cry for a few minuets, just being someone to be with, without even knowing why I was so upset.

He stroked my hair calmly and repeated, "Haz, what happened?"

"M-Malfoy…he-he… he only was with me to-to… to get information about H-Harry…" I hugged Fred and cried again, ashamed of myself for believing Malfoy's silly game.

"Haz…" Fred muttered.

"I know, I'm terrible! Wh-Why would Mafloy ever date me? Why-why am so-so stupid?"

"Shhh…" He said, continuing to comb his fingers through my hair, "You are not stupid, Hazel. You're bloody brilliant, and Malfoy's just a jerk who doesn't deserve you."

"B-but what if…what if he tells people about all I said to him…?" I asked Fred, not wanting to hear how mad he'd be at me.

"What did you tell him?" He asked, trying to stay calm but I sensed his nervousness.

"I- oh, Fred…." I cried into his chest and then said, "I told him about the D.A.!"

I couldn't see the look on his face, but I knew that he'd be shocked and angry. Who wouldn't be?

"Haz, it'll all be okay." He said, startling me a bit.

"What?"

He put one hand on my cheek and said, looking me in the eyes, "It'll be all right. Look, Malfoy's a slimy git; we both know that. But, I promise you he won't ruin anything. Not while I'm around."

I didn't know what to say- he was so true and sincere. I hugged him tightly, and he kissed the top of my head.

We just stayed there, hugging each other for a moment until I said, "Don't you have class right now?"

"Don't you?"

I laughed, and wiped the tears off my face.

(((D.A.)))

The next D.A. meeting, I could not concentrate. I spent the entire time, nervously glancing at the door and Fred. He continuously gave me encouraging smiles and nods, but they didn't really help me much.

So, needless to say, I didn't get any work done on my patronus.

The next meeting, however Fred pestered me to actually try and work on it rather then just worry.

I could not think of my happiest memory this time however… I racked my brain and tired a few different things, Hermione and my birthdays, winning the Quidditch cup, you get the idea.

Then it hit me. I closed my eyes and thought hard about all the times Fred and I had spent together. The first time he asked me out, dancing all night at the Yule ball, our first kiss, the time he came and got me at my house… and the other night.

Before my eyes, a misty-blue seal spouted out my wand and glided around. "HARRY! Harry, look! Harry I got my patronus!" I shouted. It didn't stay long, but Harry, Hermione and Fred and saw it.

I smiled wide, even after it had disappeared.

(((Gryffindor common room)))

I was sitting in my favorite chair near the window of the common room, a book in my lap. I wasn't looking at the open book though, I was staring out the window, thinking.

Something odd had been happening to me lately. Whenever I talked to Fred within the last week or so, my heart beat faster and I wanted to impress him, say the right thing.

Speak of the devil, Fred came over and sat on the table next to me. He smiled and said, "Hey, Hazel." I felt my heart leap when he said my name.

"Oh, hey Fred."

"Whatcha' doing?" He asked casually.

"Readin'"

He laughed, "Yeah, while staring out the window."

I smiled and watched him laugh at his own joke. He was filled with so much joy and happiness. Maybe that's why I fell for him before.

(((…)))

Authors note: I have been waiting for SO long to write that. I feel accomplished. And terrible I just did that to Haz.

Just so you all know, this story will probably end up being about 24 chapters, then Hazel's story's done. I know…it's sad :/
