Hi kids! Do you like violence? Haha. Just kidding.

Okee Doo, this will be the last chapter for like...ever maybe if I can wrap everything up. School trip, busy weekend. Unless I'm suddenly inspired or something. But I doubt it.

And this chapter is another reason its rated PG-13.

SALSA! WHEE!

------------------------------------------------------

The expression that had settled onto Lissa's features was far from happy.

"Draco Malfoy. I should have known."

Draco had put and arm up against the wall, but soon regretted it. Hearing the familiar voice, his countenance turned sour. Without turning, he responded smoothly.

"Analissa Moreno. You did know."

Analissa advanced, moving towards the two. "Maybe, maybe not." She moved up behind Draco, putting her arms around his neck and running her hands down his arms nice and slow, all the while making sure Ade was watching.

Ade watched quietly, trying to act as if it didn't bother her one bit. Leaning against the wall, she clenched her fists tightly.

But it did. Oh did it.

Draco sent her a glance, right before Ade decided to turn away.

"Well well. Miss Moreno." Ade looked somewhat amused, crossing her arms across her chest and eyeing Lissa and Draco, "the slut," she coughed.

"I must have something in my throat. Excuse me, won't you." Draco sent Ade a protesting glance, but she didn't see it.

She left the Great Hall, going right out into the pouring rain outside.

------------------------------------------------------

Lissa pulled on Draco's arm, dragging him towards the dance floor. He sighed, watching Ade leave and reluctantly allowed himself to be pulled.

He just stood there as Lissa attempted to grind with him, but he just stuck his hands in his pockets and moved away. Lissa looked at him with concern, "you alright?"

"I think I need to run upstairs for a while...I feel like I'm gonna hurl." He grabbed his stomach and went towards the door when Lissa grabbed his arm.

"Should I come with you?"

"No..no..not at all..I'm sure you don't want to see any of it..." He said, shaking his head. He darted from the Great Hall, taking the first three steps up towards the common room before coming back down and sneaking outside.

"Ade!"

------------------------------------------------------

Ade wandered towards the Forbidden Forest, shivering. Standing on the edge, she peered inside cautiously before stepping into the forest. The rain was lighter under the thick growth of trees.

She noticed her dress was covered in mud and sopping wet, but didn't care or bother to do anything about it.

Finding a clearing, she plopped down onto a comfortable tree stump as if she had known exactly where it was or perhaps sat in it before.

Slowly drawing up her left long sleeve on her dress, she looked at the healed cut marks on her arm. Tears were streaming constantly down her face, but you wouldn't be able to tell on account of it was raining so hard. She ran a finger over the marks, shivering again..but not from the cold.

Reaching behind the tree stump, she found her cutting knife, looking at it carefully.

"ADELAIDE!"

The sound of someone yelling startled her, causing her to drop the knife on the ground next to her. She looked around, but had trouble seeing due to the fact she was crying and it was raining.

She felt a hand on her shoulder, and grabbed it in fright. She faintly made out the paleness, but felt the strength.

"So this is what you do out here..." Draco Malfoy said, circling her. He saw the knife and picked it up. He threw it into a tree, and Ade watched as it stuck into the tree's trunk.

Now, he was yelling, "Which is more appealing? ME OR THE DAMN KNIFE?!..Which hurts more? ME OR THE DAMN KNIFE?! Obviously I'm worse than the knife in every way or you wouldn't be doing this."

Ade curled into a little ball while sitting on the stump, weakly responding to Draco. Her voice was so quiet, Draco could hardly hear it over the sound of the rain.

"Just leave me alone."

But Draco didn't stop.

"Who do you love more, me or that stupid, damn knife? I can't believe you'd do something like this to yourself Ade. Cutting won't solve your problems."

Draco shook his head, running his hands through his hair, "I knew I should've said something back in second year...when we were in the woods and I found you. Something was wrong..but you knew how to cover it. How long have you been doing this for?"

"Just every once in awhile...not often." She replied quietly, her face buried into her arms.

Draco slinked towards her, grabbing her arm and pulling up the sleeve again. He shook his head, "and I thought I knew you Adelaide...I really did."

Dropping her arm, he turned and walked away.

"I cut myself because of you, Draco."

Draco stopped in his tracks, the thought that he had caused her scars not really ever occuring to him. He slowly turned back around, just looking at her and absorbing what she had said. For the first time since he'd found her, he noticed her eyes were red indicating that she had been crying. He felt himself melting for that little girl he had met back in second year.

The sweet, innocent one.

Where was she?

But then he saw her as he looked deep inside Ade's eyes.

Except...she wasn't innocent anymore.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like I'll have another chapter. Yay!

It won't be for awhile though. So.

Read. Review. Be happy...or sad actually.
