Hallo everybody J . When I went to dinner I got the writing bug real bad. I had to put both of my hands under my knees, and bounce my feet to keep from screaming. I needed to write really badly. Lol. So when we went home I rushed to my computer and typed this whole thing up for ya. Hope ya like ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own any thing (except Jamie and her little friends). Oh and I also own the plot. *does a little plot owning dance* (please put in your own music as I dance around all crazy like for your enjoyment.) YOU CANT SUE ME, HA!

Summary, cause it cuts it out when you readin it in the other place ;): First things start out complicated enough when Jamie finds out she likes two guys. But when a mysterious locket comes into her possession that may hold the key to the disappearing students at Hogwarts, Jamie has to act fast, or suffer horrible consequences.

For this chapter I tried to bring the action part as well as the romance into deepyness (don't you just love my words J ) of plot world. So now it gets all, special and stuff. J . Oh just read the story, you'll see what I mean!

The Song in the Locket

Opening the Locket

"Malfoy, of all people!" Ron said in disgust.

When potions class was over Jamie was still thinking about those few words, "Jamie Snow with Draco Malfoy."

She was excited, and scared at the same time. Now she would get to spend time with Draco, and maybe get to see the real him (if there was more behind that all too famous smirk and those gray eyes of his). Jamie never got to spend much time alone with a guy, especially one she liked. However, she had to watch herself. She could (and most likely would) say something stupid.

The rest of her day went by pretty fast. She had talked to Draco a second after class, and he had told her that he got the list of things Professor Snape would provide them. They planned to meet in the library around 8:00 pm. Even then Jamie almost slipped and made herself look like an idiot.

When Jamie was finished with dinner she hurried up to her common room and sat herself down in the most comfortable sofa. She began to finger the locket when Harry, Hermione and Ron came and joined her on the sofa.

"I'm surprised Snape didn't put Draco with me," Harry said leaning back. "Snape knows how much we hate each other."

"All I know is, I'm glad I'm not you!" Hermione declared with a sigh of relief as she curled her legs up beneath her and pushed a few stray locks of hair behind her ears.

Jamie hadn't said a word so far. She was too busy thinking about what she was going to say to Draco.

"Hey guys," came a soft voice from the portrait hole.

"Hey Gin," they all replied in unison.

Ginny came striding in and set herself down on a chair facing the sofa that her brother and his friends where sitting on. She looked at all of them in turn, smiling exceptionally broad when her eyes rested on Harry. Then she blushed and averted her eyes to the fire.

Harry didn't seem to notice, but Jamie sure did. Jamie almost wanted the scream out, "He is mine, so take your eyes off of him!" but thought better of it. Of course, he wasn't really hers, but Jamie liked to think so.

"Heard you have a potions project with Malfoy" Ginny said, turning her gaze towards Jamie.

"Yeah," Jamie said. It was the first thing she had said the whole time.

Jamie's voice startled Harry, not in an alarming way, but more as a sort of realization. She sounded troubled, and occupied. The sigh that followed, confirmed Harry's thoughts. He looked over at her. Jamie's blonde hair was hanging down in front of her shoulders, and her green eyes seemed to be fixed on a spot on the wall. Then she bit her lower lip, and Harry rubbed his eyes. He had known her five years, and only considered her a friend. To him she always looked reserved, not unattractive, but not dazzling (like Cho for instance). But now when he looked at her she seemed different. She had definitely grown more beautiful over the summer. She must have grown into herself, and Harry hadn't noticed. Now she seemed stunning as she stared troubled at the spot on the wall.

Harry noticed that the whole time he had been looking at Jamie he hadn't breathed. What was happening to him?!! All of a sudden he had these new feelings for her, ones that he wasn't capable of explaining, even if he tried. It took a great deal of effort, but Harry finally shifted his gaze to Ginny sitting across from him. He sat almost limp, pondering the sensation that had just come over him.

While Jamie sat gazing at the wall, oblivious to Harry's new feelings towards her, she began to think about Draco. She thought of his blonde hair, which he had decided not to slick back this year, but instead let hang loosely across his forehead, and she thought of his gray eyes…. Then she thought of Harry, and his emerald eyes, (no longer covered by glasses this year, as he had apparently found a way to correct his vision. Jamie assumed this was through magic.) And she thought of Harry's jet black hair. Harry stood there in her mind, smiling his smile--the smile that always made girls sigh affectionately as their minds wandered towards him. Then the image switched to Draco, smirking as he leaned up against a wall.

Jamie's visions were clouded over by a shadow in her mind. The locket appeared dangling before her, and the ruby sparkling in the center, seemed to have grown a set of eyes, eyes that could penetrate through you, and read your every thought.

She shook her head. These ideas were silly. What kind of a ruby had eyes anyway?!!

"Jamie!" Hermione said loudly. "Come back to Hogwarts!"

"Huh?" Jamie said drowsily as if she had just woken up.

"We have been calling your name for the past five minutes!" Ron said.

"Oh, sorry," Jamie replied coming out of her daydreaming state.

She looked over at Harry. He looked as if he was running quite a few thoughts of his own. Jamie noticed he was very good looking when he was troubled.

"What time is it guys?" Jamie said standing up.

"Almost eight I believe" Ginny piped up. She was always very eager to help.

"I should be going then, have to start working on this potions project," Jamie said as she stretched and bent down to get her things together.

"Don't remind me about that project!" Hermione stated with a disgusted look on her face. "I have to work with Pansy!"

"Oh yeah? Well I have to work with Goyle! That's got to be worse!" Ron groaned. "It'll be like talking to a wall," he added.

Everyone snickered at the comment and Jamie turned to walk to the portrait hole.

"I'll see you all later," she said as she turned and headed out.

Harry stared at the portrait hole even after it closed, sighed gently, almost under his breath, and faced his friends again.

*****************************************************

Jamie walked into the library and headed for the back section.

"Great! He's late!" Jamie huffed as she threw her things on a table and slumped down in a chair.

She took this time to gaze around the library. Everything was very dim, and many of the books looked like they hadn't been touched in ages. Dust covered all of them and cobwebs could be seen everywhere. As Jamie's gaze moved around the library, she moved her hand up to the locket, without even thinking about it. She delicately fingered it, and then looked down at it. The ruby glistened, even in the dim light.

Now is a better time then any, Jamie thought to herself as she slowly moved her hand towards the latch. Now she was going to find out what was really inside this locket that drew her to it so.

'Click' came the rather sudden sound of the locket opening. The sound bounced off the silent walls and reverberated through the books that seriously needed maintenance. The noise sounded odd, like it didn't belong, almost as if it was the first sound in the library for over a hundred years. Jamie sat there gazing at the locket, half expecting it to jump out of her hands. But she was disappointed when she saw nothing, it was empty.

Suddenly a wind rushed past her ears. The library began to fade away to darkness. No one was around, there was not a single sound. Jamie tried to speak but she couldn't. All she could see for miles around was black.

Jamie stood there shivering until she heard something. It was a song. Soft at first, but growing louder and louder until it seemed like the source of the song was right next to her. Jamie swore that it sounded just like the one she was humming to herself as she was walking to the bathroom back at home, before she had left for the train.

The song brought light into the room, like a rising sun. Jamie sat frozen and listened. She couldn't move, even if she had wanted to. The song filled her with a sense bliss, as it slowly drenched the pitch dark room with a golden light.

Just as Jamie began humming the song, a blood curdling scream let out. The song stopped suddenly and the screaming grew louder and louder until Jamie couldn't take it anymore.

Just as she was about to put her hands over her ears, an enormous ruby appeared before her. Jamie looked into the ruby and saw a pair of dark evil eyes. A wicked laugh rose up, a laugh that seemed to come not from the ruby, but from the room itself. The scream and the laughter grew louder and louder, and Jamie curled into a ball on the floor.

"STOP!!!" she screamed. She doubted it would do any good, but it was worth a try. She felt helpless lying there on the floor, helpless and terrified.

"Stop!!!" she shouted again with her hands over her ears. She couldn't take it anymore! She thought she was going to die.

Just as she closed her eyes, though, Jamie felt as if she was being lifted up, away from the screaming and the evil laugh, and those wicked eyes!! A wind rushed past her again and she gasped for breath.

************************************************************

"What happened!?" Jamie said in a voice much too loud for a library. She lay there for a second, not realizing where she was, or who it was that was holding her.

Jamie soon realized that she was on the floor, and that her head was placed on someone's lap. She gazed up, dazed.

"Draco?" Jamie managed to say weakly, before coughing and closing her eyes again.

So it was Draco that had helped her! He was the one that pulled her from that insane place. He had saved her life! And now he was cradling her head in his lap. Jamie felt safe and warm. She didn't want to move from where she was laying, even though she probably couldn't anyway.

Draco was almost surprised at the use of his first name. Almost no one called him by it. But then again, he was surprised about many of the events that happened that night.

He had come upon Jamie in the back of the library, and she was on the floor grasping something in her hand. Her knuckles were white and beads of sweat covered her face. Draco knew something wasn't right. He had walked into the library expecting to see a stubborn Jamie, not wanting anything to do with him. But instead he found her lying helplessly.

Draco had felt worried, and this was not a usual emotion for a Malfoy. He, himself, was puzzled by it. He was almost uncertain what he felt. But before he could do anything, before he could put on his Malfoy charm, or bring to fore some of his Malfoy instincts, he had raced forward. This time he followed his heart instead of his mind.

He picked Jamie up and rested her head on his lap. It was the most comfortable place he could find. Then he tried to wake her up but she wouldn't budge.

Finally she came to and her eyes fluttered open and she gasped for breath. Draco felt relieved.

Then the impact of what he had just done caught up with him. He had helped Jamie. This went against all of his up-bringing. He hadn't even taken the time to think about what he was going to do. He just did it. Draco knew that if his father ever found out, he would be shamed forever.

Too late now, he thought as he readjusted himself. It was at this point that Jamie had called him by his first name.

"Are, are you, umm, ok?" Draco asked uncertainly. He wasn't sure why he was here at all. He couldn't believe what he had just done.

It took Jamie a while to answer, but when she did she didn't sound so good.

"Yeah" she said as she coughed again.

"Then you don't suppose you could get up, do you?" Draco said, hoping to gain back what little Malfoy pride he had left.

"Umm, sure" Jamie said as she tried to push herself up. She was too weak and almost fell back, but a warm hand wrapped around her back and held her up.

"Thanks" Jamie said as she wiped her hand across her forehead.

"So, what exactly happened" Draco finally ventured to ask. He let Jamie lean on him, because she was still to weak to keep herself up.

"I don't know," Jamie said. She closed her eyes and tried to recapture all that had just happened. She still kept the locket a secret from Draco.

Draco didn't go further into the subject. He knew it wasn't wise. Somehow he had to regain himself. He couldn't be helping people like this! It wasn't what Malfoy's did. But right now he decided to drop all of his instincts, everything he had learned. He gave in to his heart. He promised himself, though, that it would NEVER happen again.

Jamie tried clumsily to get to her feet, and with the aid of Draco she accomplished this task. Then she looked up at him. Draco had a worried look on his face, mixed with confusion, anger, and almost a scowl. Jamie knew he was trying to resist helping her. That wasn't what Malfoy's were known for. But she had seen enough. There was something else to Draco. She had finally found a way to get through everything into the real Malfoy. Jamie wondered how long it would last.

"I suppose we should get back to our dorms." Draco said.

"Yes, I guess so" Jamie replied reluctantly. She was going to miss this Draco, because she knew tomorrow he would be back to normal. She wanted to spend as much time as she could with him now.

"But before we go, I want you to promise me two things" Draco said grabbing Jamie's arm lightly.

"First, you are to tell no one how I helped you. Understand?!" said Draco.

Jamie nodded. She had no reason to, and besides, she didn't want to know what he would do to her if she did tell.

"Second, you are going to tell me why you were on the floor in the first place," Draco said, this time a little less forcefully.

"Whenever you feel ready," he added, seeing the exhausted look on Jamie's face.

Jamie didn't want to tell him. But then again, she did. It would be nice to have someone to confide in about this. Plus it would be a secret connection she and Draco would have. After much thought Jamie nodded.

Draco turned to leave when he heard a quiet voice rise up behind him.

"Thank you" Jamie said.

Draco nodded once, turned around and walked toward the exit.

Jaime stood back for a minute watching him go. He had saved her life, and both of them knew it.
