Clover walked to transfiguration quietly Hermione was out of the hospital wing and back to her classes. Clover really didn't want to go to her classes she checked her watch and she was all ready 5 minutes late. She made it to the fourth floor where transfiguration is located and looked at a long corridor it was dark and gloomy. Clover as curious as she is she walked down there. It was completely silent the only thing you could here was peeves knocking things down on the floor above.
Clover took a good look at the walls around her they had very detailed carvings all over them she ran the fingers across them and felt the carvings engrave into her. She heard footsteps coming and se panicked she pushed her-self against the walls. It was Hermione running to Harry and Ron. Clover didn't say anything she watched Hermione disappear into the darkness.
Clover battled her-self weather she should go further or turn around and chase after Hermione. Clover closed her eyes and walked farther down the corridor, it seemed as if she knew where she was going like she had been here before.
There was a faint voice behind her it kept on growing louder, Clover came up to a stone staircase with her eyes closed still she ran up it faster and faster. She began to feel dizzy.
She ran into something solid and hard Clover flew backward and blinked several times. She couldn't get the thing or person into focus very wells all she could see was something very fuzzy a tall dark figure with silvery blond hair. The person helped her up without a word. She looked up at his face slightly and saw who it was.
It was Draco Malfoy, but why would he help her up she got him in trouble with his father, his father seemed like a horrible person according to Ron.

"What are you doing here Potter," Draco asked coldly. Clover just looked into his cold grey eyes they seemed like a whirlwind of hate from everything.

"Just looking." Clover said simply.

"Well you better be 'just looking' the other way."

"Why are you so hateful?" Clover knew she shouldn't have asked that question but she did.

"I'm not hateful!" Draco told her.

"Yes you are," Clover said almost laughing for some stupid reason. "You hate almost everyone."

"So." Draco started walking the other way back up the stairs.
"Why?"
"I have my reasons."
"OK whatever you say."
Draco didn't say anything about Clover following him he let her do so. Clover came up to the top of the tower and Draco turned around.
"This is the Smallest tower at Hogwarts, It has the best view to everything."

"Really? All I can see is the Hogwarts express tracks and the Quidditch field." Clover said squinting her eyes.
The sun was setting in the horizon and the glowing light reflected off the lake. The Hufflepuff Quidditch team was out on the field practicing for the upcoming games. A few students were outside hanging out trading famous witches and wizards card with each other. Hagrid was coming out of his hut with Harry, Hermione, and Ron all chattering heading up to the castle.

"You don't appreciate beauty do you?"

"Malfoy," Clover said in disbelief "You are really the person to talk with when it comes to beauty that's it." Draco remand silent like his was having this burned in his memory.
A owl came by and sat by Clover. She opened it, it was from Dumbledore.
'Dear Ms. Potter there has been some terrible news. Your best friend Patty from the muggle world was killed last week from malaria, as you know she was helping young kids in Zimbabwe. Sorry for your loss- Dumbledore.'

Clover eyes filled with tears as read it silently to her-self. She didn't know what to do.
Draco looked at her and asked one question "What?"
Clover handed Draco the letter and he read it. Clover slid to the ground, her whole world was gone. Patty was her best friend she had been there for everything all of the sudden she didn't want to be at Hogwarts, she wanted to be home. She wished that she wasn't a witch that she never came here she wanted to die.

"I'm so sorry Clover." Draco started then realized that if he was in this situation he wouldn't want someone to say that they were sorry. He knelt by her and wiped her tears.

"Do you want anything?" Draco asked.

"Tea, Patty and I use to make tea and use her mothers best china and she would get mad at us." Clover silently cried as Draco walked her down to the kitchens.
He tickled the pear on the picture and walked her into the kitchens and set her down at the table and told the house elves to hurry up and make her tea. The house elves brought her a lot more than tea, there was pastries, ice cream, apples, pears, and loads of coffee. Draco liked coffee, he drank all of it. Clover sipped her tea slowly without saying a word.

"Were you close to her?" Draco finally broke the silence.

"Was I close to her? What kind of question is that? Is was my best and only friend." Clover answered, she had stopped crying but her eyes were very red.
"Did nobody like you or something?" Draco asked grabbing a pear.
"They thought I was weird," Clover sighed "I didn't belong there, I belonged here but some how now I think I really do belong in the muggle world."

"The teachers are never wrong when it comes picking the students at Hogwarts." Draco stated. Was this really Draco? Like he would ever say that maybe he was just trying to comfort her?
"I'm going to ask Dumbledore if I can leave Hogwarts after Halloween. To visit Patty's parents."



Clover trudged back up to the Gryffindor common room. Hermione, Harry and Ron were all sitting by the fire playing wizards chess. Clover's hair was messy and her uniform was untidy and her face was wet from tears and her eyes were dry and red. They all turned around to look at Clover standing there quite.

Ron broke the silence with something he should have not said. "Gosh Clover what happened to you?" Ron said taking on of Harrys' castles.

Clover's body was shaking uncontrollably and she shot up to her room. Lavender was talking to Parviti in the room when Clover burst in.
"Clover oh hey," Lavender looked at Clover. "We were just leaving."
They ran out of the dorms. "Hermione you guys might want to check on Clover." Lavender said running down the steps.
Hermione, Harry and Ron walked up to the room slowly the could hear things being thrown across the room. Hermione peeked in the room to find Clover throwing parchment paper everywhere and ink was splatter on the walls and on Clover's ripped up sheets. Half of the Gryffindors were looking into the dorm room stunned they were speechless. Harry had never seen Clover act like this, he just watched her every carefully. When Clover was done she looked up to see everybody looking at her.
She ran out of the dorm room pushing everyone out of her way. She ran from the common room outside to the lake where the boats sat from the first years. She sat there thinking for the longest time. Questions wandered into her mind. Why her she never did anything wrong, why is she being punished? First her parents then her best and only friend.
Clover sat there before Professor Mc Gonagall found her. "Ms. Potter?" Clover stood up from her current position and met eyes with a very old and wise lady. "I heard the news, do you want to talk?"
Clover nodded. "Hermione went and got me from my office and I saw your room. I'm having house elves cleaning it."

"Why did she have to die?"
"It was her time. With every bad thing, good comes." She told her wisdom then.

"Yes, but lots of bad things have happened to me and good fortune is only lent not given." Clover responded with wisdom also.
"Well said. You must be way beyond your years to think like that."
"I get that a lot."
"It's not always a good thing you know?" Clover looked at the lake wondering on what Professor said. Before Clover could respond she was gone. Clover knew that Mc Gonagall wanted her to think about what she said.
Clover went back to the common room then her dorm and got a pair of new robes and take a shower. She felt the waterfall down her body.
Rumors flew all over Hogwarts on what happened to Clover, Lavender had a big mouth. Clover walked into the great hall for dinner and when she opened the big oak doors everybody started to whisper things. She sat a usual spot at the Gryffindor table.
Hermione leaned across the table to Clover and asked "What happened?"
"I will tell you in the common room later." Hermione nodded. Clover didn't eat much just drank a lot of pumpkin juice.



After the feast Clover explained everything to them without crying too.
