Disclaimer: Everything still belongs to J.K., but I made Hope and Emmett up and Brianna is Ashley's (ashley09) character.
A/N- If anyone still reads this I'm sorry if this chapter or chapter 15 are too confusing, but if they are please let me know how you think they are so I can go back and fix them.

"Have you heard?" Hermione whispered to Harry and Ron who at the moment were sitting next to her in Potions.
"'Bout what?" Ron questioned; his voice full of wonderment.
"A few of the teachers found a body in the forbidden forest." As Hermione spoke Harry looked back at Hope.
'I know they are talking about Emmett, so does Harry.' As this thought crossed her mind she closed her eyes and tried to keep herself from bursting into tears. "How could I have done this?" As Hope spoke she didn't realized that people could hear her.
"Hope." Draco snapped, causing her to open her eyes, allowing a tear to escape. Seeing this only made Draco glare at her, "Snap out of it." He whispered.
His words only made more tears fall from her eyes. This only angered him more, "Now!" He bellowed.
Snape looked up, "Mr. Malfoy and Miss. Evans, is something wrong?"
"No sir." Replied Draco, then he looked at Hope for an answer
"I-I'm...not feeling well." With this Hope stood up, leaving her books and ran out of the room as tears began filling her eyes.
As she ran down the hall she heard the dungeon door open again and turned around, "Hope!" It was Harry.
She stopped, giving him a chance to catch up with her, "What?"
"I know what its like to watch someone die--"
She sharply turned around and glared at him, "But do you know what its like to kill someone?" Her tone was oddly plain.
"N-No, not exactly but, I do know what its like to feel like I have and—"
Hope held up a hand for him to stop, "I need to talk to you."
He nodded and she led him outside.
* * * Later that night Hope sat in the Slytherin Common Room thinking. Trying to understand and remember every little thing that had happened since she began coming to Hogwarts. She remembered when she saw Emmett earlier this year...
* . * . *
. . . "So I won't mess up Draco?" She smiled innocently as the four boys turned around and looked shocked to see Hope standing there. The one with short brown hair, and blue eyes was Emmett, and he grinned widely upon seeing her.
"Hope.." He began ad he walked towards her, "How are you?"
"I'm fine." She spoke while now giving him a hug, "And you?"
"Well." He began, but was interrupted.
"Enough." Draco's tone was demanding. And Hope took a step back from Emmett. "Hope. Have fun eavesdropping?" . . .
~ . ~ . ~
. . . "Hope, how the hell could you have been so stupid?" Draco questioned, but she didn't know how to answer.
"Malfoy calm down. It doesn't matter what she did they are still going to need her. Her opinions, thoughts, and feelings mean nothing." Hope knew it was true, they did mean nothing. And now she hated Emmett for reminding her. They walked back to her room, than all three of them went in.
"Why did you do that?" Emmett looked upset in a way, "Everyone was there, and now you'll be lucky if you live."
Hope stared at the ground, "So then, someone is going to come and kill me?" Her tone was more hopeful then she had wanted it to sound.
Both Emmett and Draco, looked slightly worried after hearing those words come out of her mouth. "No ones going to kill you. I won't let them." As Emmett spoke he moved closer to Hope, but she stepped back.
"Why would you take that joy from me?"
"What are you talking about?"
"What if I want to die? It's perfect. Now they want me dead, and I won't have to be part of someone else's death. Just the cause of my own."
Emmett looked horrified, "Hope, they need you too much to kill you."
* . * . *
Suddenly Hope thought about Emmett's words, "They need me too much to kill me . . ." She muttered this softly to herself, while thinking. After sitting there for a while she sighed, "Oh there is no use . . ."
Though it was late Hope couldn't stand staying in the Common Room much longer so she got up and began to wonder the halls.
"Excuse me!" Hope turned around to find a Gryffindor prefect, Hermione Granger, walking up to her, "I do hope that you know that no student is allowed to be wondering the halls at this time."
"Then may I ask what you are doing out here?"
"I am a prefect and was asked to make sure no students were wondering around. Now unfortunately for you I--"
"Look, Hermione, I really think I need a break. Just let me go back to my Common Room and I swear I won't let you catch me again."
Hermione eyed her uneasily, "Why?"
"Because, you know the body that they found in the forest?" Hermione nodded, "Well that was the only person in this world who cared about me. I mean really cared about me and now he's dead." There was a long silence after her words. "So, please. Just this once, let me off the hook."
Hermione nodded and Hope began walking away, "Is that why Harry has been so touchy every time someone mentions your name?" She questioned. Hope didn't turn around, "I don't know. It's not his problem . . . It maybe be his fault . . . But, not his problem." With this she walked back to the Slytherin Common Room.
* * *
The sixteen year old girl was now lying in her bed. She wished she could sleep, but her mind was full of too many thoughts that she tried desperately to understand.
'ComincerĂ in proibito a in due giorni . . . It will begin in Forbidden in two days,' Hope thought, 'Is this what was meant to begin? Did they know all along that I was to kill Emmett?' At this moment Hope sat up.
"I need to know the whole prophecy." With these words she jumped out of bed, put her robes on and ran out of her dormitories.
