Here goes the second part!

Snape had come running. Before he could scold Tara, he saw Draco and called the Headmaster. Tara was now sitting in Dumbledore's office, with Hermione, whom (A/N since when has anyone used the word whom in a fanfic?) she had called for.
Draco's attacker had left a note. I read:
Dumbledore,
Keep that girl
away from Draco,
or she may find herself
in the sameboat as
Draco....
"I know who did it" said Tara. "Lucius did".
"Ridiculous." said Snape. "Why would he do this to his own son?'
"Lucius Malfoy has been abusing his son for ages! Draco has scars all down his arms, back and stomach. He even admitted it to me! Proffessor Dumbledore, will he be allright?"
"Yes he will. He's in the hospital wing at the moment."
"I still don't think Lucius did it. Why would he?"
'Why else, Severus? You used to know him very well. He's power hungry and seems to think he must up hold the Malfoy Family name. He would do anything. He's Power hungry."
"Proffessor, what can we do?' asked Hermione "Tara's in danger and-"
"Proffessor Dumbledore, please don't make me stay away from him!" Tara pleaded. "He needs me! His father is horrible to him, and he needs, needs someone to love him!"
"I'm sorry Tara. You must stay apart for a while. Please understand-"
"No!I'm leaving!" Goodnight Proffessor! Come on Hermi"
"Miss Granger, please try to knock some sense into her, please" said Proffessor Dumbledore sadly.
Tara cried herself to sleep that night, and when sleep finall came it was fitful and haunted by nightmares. She woke up the next morning to Hermione calling her. But she refused to get out of bed. Hermione finally gave up and left the room, but instead of going to the Great Hall, she headed to Dumbledore's office.
"Proffessor, I'm worried about Tara. She cried herself to sleep last night and now she won't get out of bed. I'm worried she's going to do something...drastic."
"Miss Granger, what can we do? I agree with you that it was Lucius, but who would believe us? and if we could prove it, what does it matter? Tara will be hurt, or worse if she says with Draco. She must understand that! As a friend, be snesible and make her see that!"
As soon as Hermi had left the room, Tara had stood up and went to the bureau. She sat down and wrote five letters. One to her parents, one to Proffessor Dumbledore, one to Ron and Harry, one to Hermi, and one to Draco. She shoved the tear-stained pages into envelopes and laid them on her bed. She then ran down to the commun room. On display on the wall was an ancient dagger that once had belonged to Godric Gryffindor. She seized it off the wall and then returned to her dormitory. She sat at the edge of the bed. She took one last look around and then plunged the blade into her gut.
***
Hermione had forgotten her Transfuguration book, and ran up to get it. As she entered the dormitory, she stopped in her tracks.
"TARA!!!!!!" she shrieked "Oh God, Tara!" There she lay, among the five letters, her hand gripping the hilt of Godric Gryffindor's Dagger.
***
Ron and Harry heard Hermione scream and ran to the girls Dormitory. Hermione was still rooted to her spot. The spotted Tara and Harry turned and ran all the way to Dumbledore's Office.
***
"We are gathered today, to remember a person with whom all of you are aquainted. Tara Harrington, was a bright, funny girl, with a contageous attitude and smile. She took her own life, for th for the sake of love." said Dumbledore sadly. "Remember Tara, and remember that she took her own life so she could be with the one she loved. The ones we love never truly leave us, and she'll watch over us every minuite of every day."
***
Tears slid down Hermione's cheeks. Her best friend was gone, but the letter she had left was a comfort.
Dear Herm,
If you were the one to find me, I'm sorry me, I'm sorry you had to see that, but I want you to know that I loved you like a sister. You were my best friend and always knew what to say. I'm sorry if I talked too much and listened little, but If you ever need to talk I'll listen. I'm watching over you, and remember I love you,
your true blue pal.
Tara
ps: You will Marry Harry Potter someday, and Ron will probably marry lavender, or someone else, and he won't be jeolous at all. Have a happy life, and watch Draco for me!
***
Proffessor Dumbledore opened the letter addressed to him and pulled out the teear-stained page. It read:
Dear Prof. Dumbledore
This is in no way your fault. I realize all you were doing was trying to protect me and I'm very thankful. I'm sorry I yelled at you. Please watch out for Harry, herm, and Ron, one of these days they're going to find themselves in more trouble than they can handle. I figure you know pretty much everything that goes on around that school though right?
Thank you I'll miss the school dreadfully,
Tara
Dumbledore refolded the letter and sighed.
***
Harry and Ron read their letter together:
Hey you guys!
Thanks a lot..you guys were real good friends, you were too good to me. I'll miss you dreadfully, but I have a few tips for your futures. Harry, do something about Herm!!! She's had a thing for you for years and I know you like her too. Ron, don't be jeolous! Ask Lavender out, she really likes you. Both of you, becareful. Voldie, is still a danger, and if you want to be alive to marry Hermi, play to your strengths. Ron harry always needs you as a friend. DOn't let him go! Bye guys, and remember, I'm watching you!
Tara
***
All throughout Dumbledore's speech, Draco gipped Tara's letter tight. He read it over and over in his mind:
My Dearest Draco,
I miss you already!
Dumbledore has told me that
that I must stay away from you.
you and I both know that I could never do that. I curse your father and what he has done to your life. I did this soI could be your guardian angel, and to be with you always. Enjoy what's left of your life, and I will wait here in heaven for the day you come back to me.
Your Precious Tara.
"Father, one day I will get you, one day I will get you for ruining my life. I've learned all I can from you, and you'll curse the day you ever stepped foot in my life."
The end!
How was that! review please!
