~~~Somewhere where no normal man knows it exsists~~~~~~~~~~

"My lord, what can we do? We know that Dumbledore is training them to become defenders of the light." Peter `Wormtail' Pettigrew asked shakily to his master lord Voldermort who sat in a high back chair staring at the flames in the fireplace.

"Simple you idiot. We must tear them apart. Apparently Desiree is stronger than we thought and has not given into Nadina......yet. As long as her and Potter are together we do not stand a chance at getting her in time for the transformation. So what you must do Wormtail, is go to Hogwarts and plant some kind of evidence that Potter is not completely faithful. That will put doubt in her mind and is the most fool proof plan."

"What exactly is the angle we are going for my lord?" Wormtail asked densely. He also had some doubt in his mind about this plan because he knew that it would be hard to get into Hogwarts without getting caught, and he knew that once Harry and Desiree were together, it's almost impossible to tear them apart. Several times baby-sitting them as babies taught him that.

"In order to get Nadina to rise again, we must attack their weakest asset; their hearts."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Desiree. Desiree. Earth to Desiree." Harry said one morning a couple weeks later at the breakfast table while he snapped his fingers in front of her face, trying to get her to say something and stop staring at the wall. Ever since she came back form the trial (which she won) she had been very silent, moody, and withdrawn, even to Harry.

"Desiree." Harry said with a little more force that jolted his girlfriend out of her quiet trance. Desiree glanced around the Great Hall and sighed in pure green jealously. `Why is it that everyone else in this world gets to live carefree lives and do whatever they want and never think about the consequences? And no I don't want your opinion Nadina.'

Everybody in the hall was talking animatedly about the Christmas Ball that was happening on Friday night before everybody left to go home for the holidays. Girls talked about what their dress robes look like and how they were going to do their hair and such while the guys discussed whether or not they were going to get laid.

Desiree shook her head in disgust before she turned around to face Harry with a fake smile plastered on her face. "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired that's all." "Are you sure?" he asked with a worried expression on his face.

Inwardly, Desiree winced. She did not know why, but she didn't want Harry to worry about her and a very small piece of her wished he wouldn't care at all for some reason.

"Yes." She snapped a little more loudly than she wished but it got the point across to him, Harry sighed and nodded and went back to talking to Dean and Ron about something. Desiree groaned and put her head down on the table as she thought `Why do I have to do this? Why do I have to be so mean to him when I love him so much?' `Because in all reality you don't love him dear.' Nadina said in her cruel voice.

Desiree chose not to reply and for the first time in a long time, hear the evil voice out.

`You only thought you did because at the time he waltzed into your life you were experiencing new feelings, which I don't approve of, and you just fell into his charm and weakened yourself.' `I'm not weaker.' Desiree thought back. `Yes you are. You don't watch your back near as enough anymore, you trust too many wrong people for comfort, and your becoming like everybody else in the world. Remember back in Miami when you only wanted to be different and respected?' `Yeah. So?' `The only difference now between you and the next girl is your bra color. You like the same things as they do, wear the same things, hell, if it weren't for me, you would probably think the same too.'

Desiree sat on the hard wooded bench at the table and let what Nadina said sink into her. `Maybe she's right. Maybe I have changed for the worst.'

As she thought back on the last couple of months she realized, that Nadina was right. Instead of doing physical activity to vent off stress like she used to, she now gossiped with the girls in her dorm. In place of some of her sarcastic remarks that got people to realize that she won't back down without a fight, she let people put her down. Desiree shook her head to clear it of these unpleasant thoughts and went to class.

She doesn't really know how she did it, but Desiree somehow managed to get through her exams that day without even realizing it. One moment she's in the Great Hall brooding, the next she's in Professor Snape's class concocting a reflexious potion, then the next she's where she is now, sitting in front of the fire in the common room staring at the flames.

She heard footsteps behind her and turned around. "Hey baby. You want to go a whoop Ron at a snowball fight?" Harry asked cheerfully as he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. Desiree shook her head and turned back to face the fire.

"Dez, you haven't even left the tower except to go to class. I think it would be good for you to get outside and have some fun for a change." "Well you know what Harry, I don't want to have fun. I don't even know if you really care." "What are you talking about?" Harry asked as he took a step back from her as she stood up.

"I'm talking about how you.....you...ugh!" Desiree shoved past him to stomp upstairs and flopped on her bed, leaving Harry flabbergasted downstairs. "I don't believe this." Harry muttered under his breath before he ran up the steps behind her.

He slammed the door open, grabbed her by her arms, and said to her. "What have I done to you? Why would you doubt my love for you? Why won't you talk to me love? I love you." Desiree stared back at him with hollow eyes and said in an equally hollow voice. "No you don't, and even if you did it's not returned."

Harry dropped her arms immediately and said in a very disbelieving voice "What? Dez, maybe you need to lay down for awhile, you're not thinking clearly." Desiree gave a low laugh and said in a menacing voice. "This is the first time in a long time that I have thought clearly and I'm not going to let you fuck it up. Leave me alone. I hate you. Go to someone like Parvati who will just agree with whatever you say and look pretty by your side. Just go."

Harry shook his head as the past few weeks of mood swings and snide remarks sunk in. "You know what?" He asked in a soft voice. "What?" "I think you're scared. You're so full of hate on the inside that you are scared to let pure love in. And you know what else? I'm tired of trying to get you to see that. Yes I love you. You. Not this bitch you've become. One day I hope you see this but I can't promise that I'll be waiting there with open arms for you. I might but then again, what's the point. I think I will take your advice and go with Parvati since she at least has the decency to keep her bitchiness to herself."

With that Harry stormed back out the door and out of Gryffindore tower. Nadina watched as he left in anger and let a cackle of a laugh escape through Desiree's numb lips in victory. "Step one completed." She said in her high pitched voice.

"Desiree, are you sure you don't want to just go down and get something to eat?" Hermione asked Desiree the night of the ball as the girls got ready in their dorm.

Desiree was sitting in the window sill staring out into the night sky when Hermione asked her the question.

"No Hermione, I think I want to keep what little lunch I have down because I know I'll heave when I see that little slut prance around the Hall thinking she's got some fine catch or whatever."

Hermione sighed because she knew that her friend was talking about Parvati going with Harry to the ball. Ever since that argument Desiree and Harry have taken to insulting each other whenever they saw each other in the hall or class.

Hermione, Ron, and their other friends knew that it was because they were still madly in love with each other, but it was no use to try and tell the feuding couple that.

"Okay Desiree, I'll leave you alone." Hermione said as she turned to walk out the door. "By the way Hermione," Desiree started as Hermione began to walk out the door. "you look nice." "Thank you. Good night." "Night." Desiree replied softly as she took up to staring out the window again.

`What I wouldn't do to go back in time and take back whatever it was that I said, even though I don't know what I said, and get Harry back.' She thought sadly while gazing at the crescent moon.

`You have no use for him Nadnia, he is nothing but a weakness.' "Shut up! I don't care for your crappy lecture right now!" Desiree said out loud in a loud voice.

Desiree sat once again in silence as she heard the happy couples downstairs laugh and take pictures before going out the portrait hole to go to the Great Hall to complete silence.

Nothing made a sound but her steady breathing in the entire Gryffindor tower until...."What the hell is that?" She asked out loud. She heard the faintest of noises come from one of the dorms across the stairs.

Quietly removing herself from her position in front of the window and slink across the hall to the boy's dormitory. She found that the one with the noise was the seventh year guys dorms.

Silently positioning herself in front of the door so she could see through the slight crack imbetween the door and the door frame, her eyes got big as she saw that man again. That man from the woods with the metal hand, going through Harry's stuff.

Desiree saw him nod and transform into a fat garden rat and began to make his way to the door. Desiree quickly moved to the shadows to not be seen. Desiree let her mind quickly click when she realized who the rat was.

It was Peter Pettigrew!
