Now that I look back, I regret what I did with Draco. For more than one reason. But we'll get to that soon enough.

I can hardly stand to talk about it, it brings back such strong memories. I don't want to talk about it. All I'll tell you is, we, well, you know... we had sex. And it felt good at the time.

I lay there afterwards, exhausted. He had been gentle on me, but I was still wiped out. I fell asleep soon after, in his bed.

I didn't wake up until late the next morning. I looked around and didn't know where I was. Then I realized- I had been with Draco last night. But I was in the empty Charms classroom. How did I get here?

I didn't have time to ponder on it, though, because I realized it was late Monday morning. I'd missed breakfast and our first class had already started. I hurried into Herbology, hoping Professor Sprout wouldn't be too angry.

When I arrived, everyone just stared at me. Then all the Gryffindors started breaking into whispers. I knew it must look suspicious that I didn't return back to Gryffindor Tower, but I couldn't worry about that now. Luckily, Professor Sprout was pretty easy going with me, I guess since I'm Head Girl. She didn't yell or anything, but asked me to come tonight to help her with some plants. Almost like a detention, but I didn't mind.

The hard part was Ron and Harry. As soon as I slipped in next to them, they attacked me with questions. "Where were you?" whispered Harry.

"It's obvious, isn't it?" asked Ron. "She was off with Draco Malfoy, our sworn enemy- all night."

"Herm, is it true?" Harry asked me.

I didn't want to lie to them, they were my two best friends, but what could I say? So I just mumbled, "Would I do something like that? Now leave me alone." But they wouldn't stop bombarding me with questions, so I switched seats next to Lavender and Parvati.

But the rumors had reached them, too, and they also attacked with questions. Only they wouldn't take no for an answer.

"So, you spend the entire night with Draco Malfoy?" Lavender asked me.

"Well, it's about time," chimed in Parvati.

"Yeah, we thought you'd be a virgin forever."

"And Draco Malfoy- now that's not a bad choice." I two girls burst into giggles. I just ignored them. I could deal with their ditzy ways. It was easier than dealing with Harry, and especially Ron, when they're angry.

But I soon found myself drifting off into daydreams during Herbology. I mean, it was nice to finally have a guy care about me. And to have a boyfriend! Well, I'd have to talk to Draco about that. But after all we'd been through, I was sure he missed me as much as I missed him.

I looked forward to dinner that night, since it would be the one time I'd see Draco all day. That was another funny thing. I'd started thinking of him as Draco, the person, instead of Malfoy, the bouncing ferret.

But when I walked into the Great Hall, Draco wasn't seated at the Slytherin table. I waited and waited, but he never came. I was so looking forward to seeing him, that I couldn't help myself. I went over to the Slytherin table.

Pansy Parkinson looked up in surprise. "What are you doing here, mudblood?"

I ignored the insult. "Look, I need to talk to you. Do any of you know where Draco is?"

"Draco?" asked Millicent Bulstrode. "Why would you want to know that?"

"It's important, or else you know I wouldn't come over here to ask you." I gave them a look. "Now please just tell me where he is. I know that you know."

Blaise Zabini looked at me from across the table. "I won't even begin to ask why you want to know. I have my ideas." She laughed a rich laugh, that almost made me cringe. "I'll tell you where Draco is, honey."

Why was she acting like this? Blaise had always scared the hell out of me anyway, I wished she would just hurry up and tell me where Draco was so I could get out of Slytherin territory. "Where?"

"Well, he's not here," she told me. "In fact, last night was the last night he'd ever be a student at Hogwarts. His father transferred him to Durstrang. He left early this morning, around six o'clock."

I just stared at her. Then I got up and ran from the table, ran from the Great Hall, and up into Gryffindor Tower, to fling myself on my bed and cry my eyes out.

A/N: I'm glad that chapter's over. I must tell you: I hated this story. I'm sure I would enjoy reading it, but I hated writing all the... stuff. So, as you can tell, I didn't talk much about it. I was going to write it, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Hopefully I'll update more soon now. Thanks for all your support!
