A/N-Sorry it took so long to update, but it took JKR a while too and look how wonderfully #5 turned out. Happy reading!!!!

"I'm sorry, sir, " Kristin said, "I guess I still haven't gotten a hang of all the power yet."

"Well," Professor Snape replied, "you do have a lot of magic in your blood. But, you have been here nearly a full school year; I had hoped you'd catch on just a little more by now." He was right- Kristin had come back from Christmas break already and the trees has already budded leaves. Yet, she still lagged behind many of her classmates in controlling disasters. "Do you know who may be able to help you? I hate to admit it but Potter may know what you're going through. He did defeat Vold." he trailed off, "Sorry."

"Don't worry about it, sir. I know my father was an evil man. He needed to be stopped. It's just really hard to be around Harry sometimes. And that scar."

"I can imagine." A third person joined the conversation. Kristin spun around.

"Harry! What are you doing here?"

"I heard my name. Voldemort is your father?"

"Yes, " she admitted softly, struggling to keep herself from sobbing. "Harry, don't yell"

"Don't yell? Kristin, your father killed my parents. I had to grow up in that house! You've heard about it! It was all because of your father and you had the nerve to go out with me."

"Yes, I had the nerve. I love you, Harry Potter. I grew up in orphanages all across the world but I knew it was my fate and there was nothing I could do. And I know that everything my father did was wrong."

"So are you, Kristin. You're so wrong! You were wrong to come here, wrong to go out with me, wrong not to tell me, wrong not to realize that it was over before it started."

"You think breaking up with me will bring your parents back? Harry, it won't. Why ruin what we have for the past? It was so wonderful-"

"Why didn't you tell me?" Harry interrupted. Kristin was already in tears but he didn't seem to care. All he was worried about were his answers- things to put his mind at peace

"Ooh, and miss a reaction like this? I can't believe I turned down this opportunity."

"You're a bitch. Do you know that? You can't even be serious when we're talking about something as important as this. This is my entire life we're talking about. The rest of which will be a lot better now that I know who to avoid."

Harry turned on a heel and ran from the room. Kristin just stood there shocked that the love of her life had just walked out on her. Snape reminded her of his presence.

"You had better go after him before he gets himself in trouble."

Kristin walked aimlessly through the halls, hoping to find Harry. She'd been here for a year already but she seemed to be getting lost just trying to get to the common room to see if she could find Hermoine or Ron to see if they could help her.

She turned down a familiar corridor. ' I can't believe Harry reacted that badly. I didn't expect him to be happy about it but I didn't want him to break up with me.' Tears streamed down her face. She turned to realize that the hall she thought was familiar wasn't so anymore. Light was becoming scarce as Kristin looked for somewhere to go. But all was dark, except the brilliant green light glowing at the end of the hall.

"Father?" she called out. She knew that color well. She had dreams of the light. She occasionally saw it flickering in her normally hazel eyes in the reflection of Harry's glasses.

Harry!

'Is he okay?' Kristin worried. ' I hope my father didn't find him before I do.'

"Kristin,'' a voice came from the light. "You are the last person I hoped would worry about a Potter." Kristin could remember that voice from when she was a baby. It was dark and gravelly and after listening to it one knew there were evil thoughts in the mind of its beholder. 'What is he going to do to me now? He knows about Harry and me. We're both dead.' Kristin shook in terror. And Harry knows about Voldemort and me thanks to my stupid mouth!'

"Well." Voldemort continued, "what do you have to say for yourself?"

"I love him." Kristin's conscience screamed at her to stop, but her impulsive nature would not be quenched so easily. "We started to see each other when I got to Hogwarts and I-I-I love him."

"NO DAUGHTER OF MINE LOVES A POTTER!"

"I do," Kristin retorted.

Green flames roared towards her. They danced around her, silently threatening her. She started to run as fast as she could in the other direction but she was cut off by more fire. A dark figure came through the flames from the opposite direction as the light. The flames roared higher and gave off even more heat. Kristin was screaming wildly, waiting for the heat to stop or to finally die.

"Kristin, are you okay?" The figure called. Was it Harry? Was he here to save her? No. His hair was too neat, too. long?

"Draco, what are you doing here? Run! Now! Please!" She screamed.

"Ok." He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and began to run with her through the flames. It was a long time before they reached the other side but finally they found a door. It flung open before them. The two screamed fearing the worst, but Professor Dumbledore appeared before them and ushered them out the door. Kristin stopped for a moment and looked back.

It was all gone. The light. The flames. The voice. Her father. It was all gone. And Harry. She needed to talk to Harry. But first.

"Draco Malfoy? What are you doing here?" She asked again.
