Returning to Hogwarts, Destiny had to dress appropriately. She knew what could happen to her. She was a city girl, living in a city world and this was how she would dress. She quickly changed into a pair a jeans, her leather jacket and a cute tank top, and made her way back to the dorm. As she passed, she realized that she had forgotten to change her hair. She quickly changed it to curly blonde and sat on Ron's bed... Why wasn't he hurrying?

Soon she heard the door open, so she slipped under the bed. Mike and Ron entered.

"Mike..what's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's just that was something I didn't expect..."

Des dialed the pager from under the bed.

"Damn pager.." Ron grabbed it and read it.

*came bk to Hogwarts*

He sent her a message back saying where.

*under ur bed*

His eyes got really big, and he told Mike to go on down to the common room and he'd catch up with him later.

Des slid out from under the bed. She sighed and hugged him because she was so scared. She was. She knew her game was over.

"Is it safe here?"

"Ron I don't even know... I'm so...afraid.."

He kissed her and held her in his arms. He could tell she was scared. She was fricken shaking..

"Let's go."

He grabbed his leather coat, and they walked down into the common room.

Hermione, Mike and Harry were sitting next to the fire, and Dean was talking with Ginny. Hermione stood up and pointed, as if to point and say something, but quickly forgot and sat down; Mike looked up and stared at her and said some comment that Ron immediately disliked. Harry gawked, and Dean smiled. Ginny giggled, and smiled at Des.

They were headed out to the park. He lead her towards the cemetery.

"Babe..I gotta ask you something."

Des looked up and twirled around in the snow."Yeah?"

"How did you kill Cho?"

She looked into his eyes. He looked confused. They sat down together at the bench; and he wrapped his hand around her.

"I'd save that for another day."

"Why?"

"I just would..you know.." She got up and scraped the snow off her grave."You just have to be ready to understand a few things.."

"That's what EVERY ONE has been saying. What don't I get?"

"Ron...not now..please..." He was silent, but she continued. "When I was born, my mother left me. I began to drink and smoke heavily. My father passed on his powers to me, which aren't completely worthless to this day. But what he forgot to tell me was how long they lasted. They are temporary, so once I run out, I'm dead. I mean I literally die."
