Syren did choose to help her sister, and sent Ginny a note, telling her to meet her by the Lake to talk. Syren sat, feeling cold, on a rock near the lake. Why hadn't Ginny come yet? She was probably with Malfoy right now. If Syren was honest with herself, she missed the way Draco was there all the time, annoying her out of her mind.
She looked up to see Ginny coming towards her. "Well, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Look, Ginny, I have nothing against you, and I for one am glad you're with Draco. But my sister is getting depressed. Very quickly. I know her-she's the impulsive sort. God knows what she'll do. Could you please make Draco at least apologise?"
Ginny shook her head. "I'm sorry, Syren. I'll talk to him, but I can't make promises."
"For my sister's sake, you have to get him to apologise! I don't care what you do, make him go without until he does! Just make him."
"Go without what?"
Syren turned to see a boy. He had red hair, and his face...God, that face...he was gorgeous. "Who the hell?"
He came closer. "Ron Weasly. And you are?"
Single, Syren thought, but only said "Syren Redwood. My sister went out with Draco before Ginny, and she's taking the break up really hard."
"Oh, the poor girl." Ron said sympatheticly. Syren felt herself melt slightly.
Ginny looked at her watch. "I'm meeting Draco in a second. I'll talk to him."
"Let me know, please?"
"Sure."
Ginny left, and Syren sat on the rock. "Why can't life be simple?"
Ron looked at the girl, and noted how pretty she was. She had honey coloured hair and green eyes. He sat down next to her. "Your sister'll be fine. She looks pretty strong-the one with pink hair right?"
Syren nodded. "Yep. I hate her hair like that, but what can I do?"
Ron grinned. "Dye it back in her sleep?"
"Nah. I guess it suits her."
Ron smiled. "It's nice that you think of other people first. Isn't your sister in Slytherin?"
"Yeah, we both are."
"You-you're in Slytherin?"
"Yes. You're-you're in Gryffindor aren't you?" He nodded. "Oh. Well, I really should go tell Maya that I've spoken to Ginny..."
"No, Syren, wait. Stay a while longer. Please."
"I guess it can wait."
"Does it matter to you that I'm in Gryffindor?"
"Not really. Does it matter that I'm in Slytherin?"
"Well...no. Not to me, anyway."
"Great! We can go-we can be friends."
"Just friends?"
"Unless you..."
"Kiss you?"
"Well, yeah, that would sway my judgement."
"Well, good." He kissed her.

Harry was pacing, alone in his room. When he had fallen, he had seen Hermione in a new light. He'd noticed that she was, in fact, very pretty-perhaps beautiful. Sighing slightly, he sat on his bed, and picked up a pciture of the three of them last summer. Had they really changed that much? He wondered if he had changed as much as them. Perhaps he had. He didn't know. He found a picture of them in their second year when Collin Creevy had pounced on them. Hermione was looking more than a bit annoyed (when she came out from the frame), Harry looked exasperated, and Ron was asleep. He compared it to last summer's picture; they were all taller. Hermione's hair had become less bushy, and she was smiling more. Harry was more muscular, seeing as he now had more of a chance to practice Quidditch in the Holidays now Sirius had taken him in. Ron had lost a lot of his freckles, and was slightly less pale-more tanned. Harry watched as himself in the photo kissed Hermione on the cheek, and watched her go red. He unwittingly noted how cute she was when she blushed.
"God, what am I doing?" he muttered.
?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿
Maya sat on her bed, feeling increasingly depressed. Why hadn't her sister got back? She grabbed a photo of when she and Syren were younger, and smiled at how innocent they both looked, both sat on their brooms. She looked out of the window and saw Syren approaching with some boy. "What the..." She watched them walk to the doors of the Great Hall, and saw them kiss. She saw Syren reluctantly leave the boy, and enter the Hall. Maya awaited her sister, and when Syren came in she stood up. "Syren Redwood, did you speak to her?"
"Yes. She's talking to Draco as we speak."
"Good. Now, who was that boy?"
Syren blushed. "That was Ron. Her brother."
"I send you to reclaim my boyfriend, and you end up dating the enemies family!"
"Hey, leave Ron alone! We have loads in common and we get on really well."
"What house is he in?"
"Gryffindor. But I don't care. I like him, and he likes me."
"Does he know you're a Slytherin?"
"Yes. And he doesn't care."
"Does he also know that our Dad's a Death Eater?"
"No. But he does know I don't want to be one."
"Sy, one of us has to be one, else Dad'll be heart broken."
"We've talked about this."
"Well, I guess Jamie did say he would..."
"Exactly. We don't have to go through it. He wants to."
"You realise we're signing our brothers life away to Voldemort?"
"Yes. I do. But he wants too. It's his life to sign away..."
?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿
"You look happy." Harry speculated as Ron sat down.
"You don't. What's up?"
"Well, I-"
"Actually, Harry, can you tell me in the morning? I'm currently really happy."
"Why?"
"I just found myself a girlfriend."
"Who is she?"
"Syren Redwood."
"Hogwarts' resident goth?!"
"Yeah. She of dog collars and black clothes."
"But...why?"
"There's more to her. She's deep, profound, beautiful. And she makes me happy."
"How did you get to know her?"
"Remember I told you and Hermione about going with Ginny to talk to someone? Well, Syren was that someone and we got talking...."
Ron carried on explaining, but Harry had zoned out after the mention of Hermione. Why couldn't he get her out of his mind? Ron frowned.
"And then the giant elephants were abducted by aliens and me and Syren snogged allllll night."
Harry looked up. "What?"
"Harry, if you are going to zone out about some girl, do you have to do it when I'm talking about my girlfriend?"
?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿
Maya looked around her that morning. She saw her sister asleep, and all the other girls asleep too. She got up, and pulled a book from the bookcase-a photo album that Draco had given her last Christmas. She looked at the pictures of her and Draco together-they looked so happy. She missed him like crazy. She fished out the ring he had given her, and put it on her finger. She immediately began to cry, and ran her finger tip over the ring, and saw the gem shadow over. "Why can't I just get over him?" she whispered.
?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿
Draco signed the note, and gave it to the miniature owl. "Take this to Maya. Maya Redwood." The owl flew out of the window. Draco's apology note was brief, saying that he had discovered he loved her as a friend. Sighing, he returned to his homework.
In the castle somehwere, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Syren and Maya were doing the same; dutifully doing their homework-though some with their minds on other things, and other people.
