Chapter 7

Caroline left the Great Hall and paused just outside the entrance to the hall. She placed her hand on her chest and felt her heart beating rapidly. She thought of Harry and Draco. Draco didn't make her heart beat rapidly, Harry did, Draco didn't put butterflies in her stomach, Harry did, but Draco was an excellent kisser.

Caroline began to walk to the Slytherin common room. When she reached the common room, she bounded up the stairs to the girls' dormitory and flew to her traveling chest. She took out chalk and her book of signs. She proceeded to the door and locked it magically. She then returned to the side of her trunk and sat promptly on the floor. She traced a circle of chalk around her feet and lit candles. She began to chant, a harsh chant. She continued to chant and began to rock slowly on the floor. She began to rock faster and faster until finally she jerked to a stop. Her eyes flew up and only the whites were visible. "He who cometh when the sun sets is what I am destined for" said Caroline out loud. Caroline came out of the trance and felt extremely light headed. She stood up and sat on her bed. "He is the one" she repeated over and over until the thought finally penetrated her head completely. There was a knock on the door and a voice was heard on the other end: "Caroline, sugar. It's me, Draco. Come out for a second please" Draco said pleadingly. Caroline walked towards the door and clapped her hands twice, everything disappeared. "I'm coming Draco". She opened the door and smiled at him. "Have you come to apologize?" said Caroline mockingly. "I am sorry. You do realize that don't you?" said Draco calmly. Caroline knew that she could not accept his apology because of what the future held, but she had to. "Fine Draco. I accept your apology but I am warning you, if you do anything to make me mad I will get rid of you. There are plenty of replacements. Now, if you don't mind, I have a project to do." Caroline turned swiftly on her heels and let her brown hair billow out behind her and into Draco's face. She left the common room and did not bother to say goodbye to Draco.

*** Harry walked towards the library swiftly. He could not believe his luck. Caroline was a different kind of girl. She looked mean, but she was really nice. She was beautiful, more beautiful than any of the girls at Hogwarts. Harry suddenly slammed into someone. It was Draco. "Hello Potter. Come to steal my girlfriend have you?" said Draco coldly. "We have a project" said Harry. "I am warning you Potter" Draco hissed "if anything happens to Caroline I will make sure you suffer." Draco turned and proceeded down the hall without so much as another word. *** Caroline was already waiting at a table when Harry walked in. She smiled politely at him and felt her heart pace quicken. "Hi. I just met your friend in the hall" said Harry. "Who? Draco. Oh gosh. I hope he didn't say anything naughty" said Caroline sheepishly. She finally had something to use against Draco when she went to terminate their "relationship". Their breakup was imminent and Draco apparently knew, thought Caroline happily. I can get rid of him. "You know, the usual. He just threatened me. That's it" said Harry with a grin on his face. "Well, I think we should get started" said Caroline with a humongous grin on her face. She felt incredibly nervous at the thought of sitting so close to Harry. Harry sat down and opened the books they had. He tried to act as cool as possible but he felt entirely nervous and jumpy sitting next to Caroline. They began to work. They worked and talked for hours upon hours. It was nearly 2 a.m. before they realized that they needed to go back to their common rooms. Caroline and Harry began to put all their papers away. Caroline and Harry began to leave the library when Caroline accidentally fell on Harry. He caught her in time but Caroline felt a jolt of energy and an image appeared before her.

It was a bedroom. A very nice, large bed was centered in the middle of the room and many candles, vanilla candles, were lit. Caroline looked down and found herself in a very short red dress, which did not cover very much. She heard a noise and turned her head. It was Harry, completely undressed. Harry had a very nice body thought Caroline. He also had a very nice.. well. He moved towards her and smiled. They kissed and he pulled her onto the bed....

"Caroline, Caroline. Are you alright?" said Harry jolting Caroline out of her dream. Caroline looked at Harry and turned bright red. "Sorry. I am really tired" said Caroline, averting her eyes from Harry's. "Would you like me to walk you to your room?" said Harry. He looked genuinely concerned. "No, that's alright." Caroline said goodnight and walked off thinking about what she had just seen. Caroline often had premonitions of her future, but nothing like this. She took this as a definite sign. "What am I going to do about this" said Caroline as she walked into the common room. What she saw made her stop. Pansy and Draco were all over each other, half dressed and looking as though they weren't going to be dressed in a few seconds. "Oh my gawd. You whore!" yelled Caroline at Pansy. "Well, what did you think?" said Pansy evilly. "Did you seriously think I wanted to be your friend? HAH! How gullible" said Pansy haughtily. Caroline, forgetting the rules set by Dumbledore, conjured all of her belongings, without using her wand. She levitated them and stalked out of the common room. She wasn't going to come back, ever.
