Chapter 12
Brin Summers: Yea, I realized after I had posted that she died on the Spring Fling, I just forgot to change it. I forgot all about saying the monks made the key into human. Thanks for reminding me and for the review!
pay-day1999: Thanks! Oh yes, she'll be punished, I'm sure of that.
SlySlayer13: Well thank you so much and for coming back and reading my fic. I appreciate that your in love with my story. ;). And how you like my process and all that stuff!
willowwiccantara: Sorry about the cliffhangers, I have to build suspense. Sorry! Yes, I am working on longer chapters and I agree, sometimes Draco does need to be OOC, that's why I made him that way in the last chapter. Oh yes, I've already figured out how Pansy will get her punishment. Thank you.
fairysk8r: Thank you. The chapters will be longer soon.
painterchica: Hehe, thanks for the review. I needed to put Dawn in Slytherin, she's mostly in Gryffindor, and I wanted a change.
A/N: Sorry this took so long! I've started school a month ago and I've had so much homework that I haven't been able to get this typed and posted, but here it is. I hope you like. I've heard some of my reviewers and took some suggestions and I've used a few.

"I see" Dumbledore said. He looked at Snape and McGonagall and back to the young Dawn Summers sitting in front of him as he took in her side of the story from the duel a few nights back.
He had the hospital wing cleared out and only those four plus Madam Pomfrey were allowed to be in since she still had trouble moving. She had flowers around her from numerous boys, which Spike seethed over, some candy from Honeydukes that Harry and Ron had made Sirius get and they paid for them and her books piled out so she could catch up on some homework that Hermione brought her.
Draco snuck in some of the nights and he gave her the two dozen red roses that stood right beside her bed. Every time she looked at them, they reminded her of him, in a strange way. They were deep red and almost looked like blood that would spill if skin was cut.
She only kept the happy memory of Draco. Every since that night she woke up and he was there, she felt tingly. Her stomach had butterflies every time he came in during the nights. He always sat there and told her stories that happened during the day and talked about some of the stuff on the day's lectures if they had classes together. For some reason, it was more interesting when Draco said it.
"Miss Summers?" Dumbledore spoke up a little more.
Dawn jerked her head away from looking at the flowers Draco got her and looked at the Headmaster.
"I hope you get better soon and I'm going to take both of your sides in and inform you what is going on in the next couple of days." She nodded her head as he stepped out with McGonagall and Snape on his heels.
She closed her eyelids and fell back asleep.

"Willow, stop it" Tara said firmly.
"No Tara, she hurt Dawnie, and I'm not stopping until I find a curse to make her suffer!"
"You can't let Buffy know! That was the whole point of not telling anyone else except Albus, Minerva, and Severus" she whispered.
Willow stopped thumbing through a hex book and looked at her girlfriend. "I know, but If-"
"You can't, baby. You need the Albus to take care of this. If she gets expelled or whatever, then you can scream all you want, because by then she'll be gone and Buffy won't know. She can't. That's why Dawnie told her she couldn't remember. Buffy will go to the extreme and Dawn wants to save her sister from doing something drastic."

"Let's go Summers" Draco stalked into the hospital wing.
"What?" she asked. He helped her up and walked beside her as he escorted her to Dumbledore's office.
"Snape told me to fetch you and bring you to Dumbledore's office. I'm guessing you'll see what's gonna happen to Parkinson."
"Good. I hope she goes to jail."
"It's Azkaban. And she might. It depends."
"Okay. Wish me luck."
"You don't need it. The cat's in the bag" he said, stepping a little closer to her. She smiled.
"Thanks" her breathing became awkward and she slipped out from Draco before he leaned any closer and she muttered the password passed on from Snape to Draco to her. She placed her feet on a stair and let it guide her to the Headmaster's door.
"Come in Miss Summers" Dumbledore said before she could knock. She took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. Her heart jumped as she saw many people in the office. Dumbledore sat there calmly behind his desk with McGonagall and Snape on both sides and women and men she's never seen scattered all over and there sat Parkinson, right in front of Dumbledore.
"Dawn, these are some people from the Ministry of Magic. Take a seat please." She stepped slowly towards the chair and sat down quietly looking from person to person.
"Well, I guess we should get to the point" one of the men said. "I'm Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic."
"Hi" Dawn said.
"Pansy, you've committed a very serious offense. An unforgivable curse means you will have some time in Azkaban."
"No!!!" she whined. "I didn't do it! It must have been someone with a polyjuice potion or something! I swear I didn't do it!"
He took out a roll of parchment and unrolled it. "Pansy Parkinson, you are hereby expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and are sentenced to sixty days in Azkaban." Fudge rolled the parchment back up and stuck it in his coat pocket.
Pansy went to run but she was caught by two Aurors who sedated her with a spell.
"Good day" he stepped out with the two Aurors, Pansy, and the rest of the men and women from the Ministry.
"You are free to go Miss Summers" Dumbledore said.
"I'll escort you back to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey said after a couple more days you should be able to start classes again."

McGonagall was coming down with Dawn as she saw a small blonde coming down the hallway. "Oh hell no!" she screamed.
"Stop, Buffy!" Spike screamed.
"Verbally abusing my sister is one thing, but an unforgivable curse is a no- no" she stopped.
The Aurors quickly got Pansy out of the building while Fudge tried to slow Buffy down. She just walked right past him. Before she could get out the door she was flung into mid-air.
"No" a deep voice came. She turned around while she hovered about 30 feet in the air. "It's my turn" Willow said. Only it wasn't her. Her eyes were onyx black along with her hair.
