Disclaimer: I won nothing except the plot and 1 character. Ok, I tried to do what you guys told me, or at least what I thought you meant, lol. I tried to improve the grammar too. So remember to review because I want to know what you think of it, whether it's positive or negative, lol.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The next day they went to classes, as always Harry sat next to Elena. That day they had to review for a quiz they were going to have at the end of the week, Professor McGonagall had left to take Neville to the hospital wing, he had accidentally turned his hand into gold while reviewing the alchemy section. Harry and Elena were quizzing each other. So were Hermione and Ron. Even though Ron wasn't really paying attention.

Harry asked Elena "Did you enjoy the game yesterday?"

"Oh, yes, you were great, especially when you broke the snitch, that was funny. But you seemed really angry, was something wrong?"

"Umm, well, no, not really, I wasn't angry, I was just trying to win" he said. "Love of the game" they said together. They both laughed.

Draco saw then laughing together and got jealous, he yelled across the room "Hey Potter, you better get away from my girlfriend before I hurt you so bad, you won't even be able to laugh."

"Why don't you come up and say that to my face, you ferret" answered Harry. Draco got up from his seat and went up to him.

He said "You better stop flirting with her."

Harry answered "What if I don't? What are you going to do about it, little ferret." It was getting bad, they were about to fight again. Elena had to stop them so she said "Stop! Both of you. Draco, go sit down in your seat, please. Harry, you sit down in your seat too."

"Fine, I'll go, but if he messes with you one more time, I'll.." "You'll what? It's not like a ferret can hurt me."

"STOP!" yelled Elena. And they both went to their seats. Elena kept studying with Harry, and Draco was reviewing with Crabbe., but he still kept on glancing over at Elena.

It went on like that for some months, and then two days before Elena's birthday, in November something happened that made everything change. Ron and Hermione were more in love than ever. Elena was in love with Draco and he was in love with her, or so she thought. One night Elena woke up in the middle of the night. She felt sick and she woke up sore for some reason. She decided to go down to the common room to read and drink some tea. As she went down the stairs she heard two people. Then she saw their shadows reflected aginst the wall by the fire of the chimney. She saw they were kissing. She thought of going back upstairs, but decided against it because she felt sore. She decided she would get some tea, and go back upstairs. As she reached the floor she tried to go against the wall so she didn't interrupt. They didn't notice her, until, she bumped into a table and knocked down a book. She knew that they had heard the noise and thought that they wouldn't mind if she turned on the lights, so she did. That's when she saw who the two people were. She saw Millicent and Draco sitting on the couch, with their arms around each other, without clothes. She knew what was going on.

When she saw them, she ran up to her dormitory. Draco followed her and said "Elena, wait!", but she didn't wait, she ran up, and locked the door behind her, luckily nobody was there, the girls she shared her room with were in a slumber party at a different dormitory.

She went to her bed and heard Draco knock on the door, he said "Elena, open up! You have to let me explain! It's not what it seems."

"Go away! I don't ever want to see you again!" she yelled back. Then she heard the knocking and pounding on the door stop and she started to cry.

Elena was left crying all night, she didn't go back to sleep. In the morning, she went down to her common room. She looked like a mess, her eyes were red from having cried all night, there were bags under her eyes, her hair was as frizzy as ever and her lips were as dry as could be. When she got down to her common room she saw Draco by himself reading.

When he saw her, he went up to her and said "Hey." She just looked at him and shook her head gently from side to side, then she walked away from him.

He grabbed her hand and said "Elena, look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, it was an accident."

"So you just woke up in the middle of the night, found her and had sex with her by accident..." she replied. "...I don't believe you. Draco, you let me down, I'm in love with you, I trusted you."

"Well, I'm sorry, you said it yourself, you still love me, so why won't you give me another chance?"

"Yes, I still love you, but I'll get over it, don't worry. I can't give you another chance, it's over. I can't trust you, and a relationship is built on trust, if there is no trust there can't be anything else. I'm sorry, but I can't be with you anymore." Elena walked out of the common room and went up to the Great Hall to have some breakfast.

When she got there she was relieved to see that Ron, Hermione and Harry, were all having breakfast already. She desperately needed to talk to somebody, and she didn't want to talk with the slytherins because she knew they wouldn't understand her.

She went up to Hermione and said "Can I sit here for a while, I need to talk to you."

"Sure, but make sure none of the teachers see you here, or they'll send you to your table."

"Don't worry, it won't be long."

"Elena, what's wrong? Have you been crying?" asked Hermione.

Then Ron saw Elena. He said "Hey Elena, how was your night?" and Elena burst out crying. Hermione hugged Elena and signaled to Ron to not talk to her at the moment, so Ron turned the other way and started talking to Harry instead.

"Elena honey, what's wrong?" asked Hermione.

"-E --eeted -n -e" said Elena, but Hermione didn't understand anything so she said "Elena, stop crying for a minute and tell me what's wrong."

Elena stopped sobbing for a moment and said "Draco, he, he cheated on me."

"How? Tell me what happened."

"Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and I went to the common room to drink some tea and there he was, kissing Millicent" and after Elena said this, she started wailing again.

Hermione hugged her and didn't know what to do, then she said "I don't mean to sound snobby or anything, but remember I told you that Draco did that all the time, I thought he wouldn't do that anymore because he seemed like he had changed with you, but it seems like he didn't, I'm sorry."

Then Harry ( he had heard all that Elena had said; so had Ron) turned around and said to Elena "Don't cry, he's not worth it."

Then Ron said "Yea, don't let him see you sad."

Hermione said "You guys, let her cry if she wants to cry," then she turned to Elena and said "cry if you need to, don't worry."

After Elena heard this, she wiped her tears and said "No, you know what Hermione, they're right. He doesn't deserve me to cry for him, but I still feel something for him." When Harry heard Elena say she still felt something for Draco he felt bad, but then he realized the situation, Elena was single! He could go out with her now. It probably wasn't the best time to ask her out, seeing as she had just broken up with Draco, but if he was going to ask her out, then he would have to do it soon, before someone else beat him to her.

Then Hermione, trying to liven up the situation, said "Well, your birthday is two days away, isn't it? How about, if, for your birthday, we go somewhere, anywhere, you want to go, us four can go together, by ourselves."

"Your birthday is two days away? Really?" asked Harry. "Yes, November 24.(OOC: That's MY birthday, don't forget to congratulate me. J/K) And, sure we can go somewhere, it'll probably do me good to get away from this place. We'll I guess we better be going to Transfiguration right now, or we'll be late."

"Yea, let's go" said Hermione, and as she was walking with Elena.

She said "Are you going to be all right?" "Don't worry I will be" Elena smiled back.

When they got to transfiguration they all saw Draco. He was sitting next to Millicent and they were talking and holding hands. When Harry saw them, he had the urge to go up to him and curse him, but he controlled himself.

Elena felt like crying again, Hermoine had been right she thought, but just when she was going to Harry went up to her and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek, then he said "Don't let them get to you." They went hugging to their seat and then they started talking about something else. Draco saw them and got jealous so he kissed Millicent, Ron also saw them and he couldn't help but feel a bit jealous also, after all, he still thought she was good-looking. When the teacher got there they all went back to their seats and worked, in partners, that's when Harry thought about making his move. He would do it on her birthday, he would get her a nice gift, and then they'd separate from Ron and Hermione and that's when he would ask her out.

The day went on, Elena would see Millicent and Draco together in every class, but whenever she felt sad or depressed, Harry was there to cheer her up. He would hug her, or hold her hand or even kiss her, but she still felt sad and betrayed. She just wanted to get away from them, but she couldn't, she had to see them, in every class. Ron and Hermione would be there for her also, but Harry was the one who really helped her out. While she was going to Defence Against the Dark Arts, she stopped by the bathroom, she needed to get away for a minute, to be by herself and cry. She went to the second floor bathroom, and there she found a ghost, Moaning Myrtle. Elena didn't want to be rude, but she felt she needed to be completely alone, so she asked Myrtle if she could leave the bathroom for a moment.

"Sure," said Myrtle angry "after all, nobody wants Myrtle around. What good is Myrtle? She never does anything but sob around and bother people!" and she left the bathroom. Elena felt bad for Myrtle but she really wanted to cry, without anyone knowing. She wanted to cry for Draco's betrayal, for her father, for her mother, for what had happened to her nanny, but most of all she cried for herself, she felt sorry for herself. So she started quietly sobbing at first, then it got louder, and worse, then, she got to a point were she was weeping hysterically, and couldn't stop.

While Elena was crying her eyes out in the second floor girl's bathroom, Ron was running to get to Defence Against the Dark Arts. He had been late because he had gone up to his common room to finish the homework assigment they were given a week earlier. He was running through the second floor when he heard someone crying in the girl's bathroom. He thought it was Moaning Myrtle, because she was always crying. But when she didn't stop crying, he got worried, a bit, and went in to try and comfort her, or whoever it was, after all, he was going to be late anyway.

He went in and yelled out "Myrtle." Elena heard this and instantly recognized Ron's voice, so she stopped crying. She was afraid he'd find her and tell someone else she'd been crying. She heard Ron's footsteps searching through every stall, getting closer to where she was. Then he pushed the door of her stall, and found it locked.

He called out "Hello, is anyone in here?" Elena was going to tell him to leave her alone, but just when she opened her mouth, a sob escaped her.

"Go away" she said in between sobs.

Ron responded "What's wrong, who is it?" because he still didn't know who was behind the stall. Elena suddenly burst out crying, hysterically as before, she couldn't hide it anymore. She opened the door and saw Ron standing on the other side of it. She ran to him and embraced him, she needed someone with her, she needed a shoulder to cry on. When he realized what she was doing, he felt like she needed a friend, so he hugged her back, lovingly. They just stayed like that, hugging each other, and Elena bawling her eyes out, without caring about anything, or anyone.

In class, Harry and Hermione had to work together because neither Ron or Elena (their usual parteners) were there.

"I wonder, were could they be?" asked Hermione.

"I don't know" responded Harry. He felt a little worried, after all, Ron did feel something for Elena, he had told him the day of the sorting. He started thinking about Ron and Elena, together. Maybe they had ditched together, maybe Elena really felt something for Ron, something more than mere friendship. What if Ron was secretly going out with her, knowing how Harry felt, and betraying Hermione. He couldn't stand that, if it were true, he'd stop talking to Ron altogether. What if, What if? he kept thinking.

"Harry, what's wrong?" asked Hermione.

"I'm sorry Hermione, I've been thinking of something else."

"You really like her, don't you?" asked Hermione.

"What? How did you know? Can you tell? Who told--" started Harry, but was cut off by Hermione.

"Whoa! Calm down, nobody told me anything, it's a woman's instinct, I can tell that you obviously like her."

"Is it that noticeable?" he asked.

"Yes, it is, but don't worry, I'll help hook you guys up."

"Thanks, but not right now, I mean she's still a bit depressed about that whole 'Malfoy' thing" he said.

"I know what you mean, but don't worry, maybe if you guys get together, we'll get some of the work done, and you'll stop bothering me and Ron when we're together at breakfast."

"Yes," Harry said slowly, thinking about Ron and Elena together, "you and Ron."
