It was finally the weekend. Well, since classes were over for the day and it was Friday. Silver was tired of playing pranks on Zende, but yet, it seemed as though she deserved. She was so exhuasted. Silver and Ron sat on the couch in the common room. Right then Silver could care less about anything. She had her head on Ron's shoulder and her hand on his leg, looking as though she was zoned out, and Ron had his arm around her, running his fingers up and down her arm.
Fred bounced over to Ron and Silver, "Silvy," he sat in the chair in front of the couch.
Silver looked at Fred as if she wasn't in a daze, "Yes, Freddie."
"Are you alright? Me and George noticed you haven't been yourself today," he asked concerned.
Silver didn't move out of her position, but just signed heavily, "I don't know..have you ever had one of those days where you're like so bummed out and don't care about anything?"
Fred only nodded.
"Well, today's one of those days. I just feel like moping, or just curling up in bed," Silver shrugged.
"But you'll be ok, right?" he reached out and touched her knee. Ron tried to hold bad a sneer. He really had no right to sneer, she's also his brothers friend and he was concerned, nothing to sneer about.
"Yes, Freddie, I'll be fine. Like I said it's just one of those days."
"Ok, I was just concerned so I decided to see what was wrong, that's all," Fred smiled at her and went his own way.
Silver turned her head slightly to look at Ron, "I think I'm going to go for a walk."
"Want me to come with?" he asked looking down at her.
"Nah, I want to be alone for a while, if you don't mind," she asked getting up.
"No..no't at all," Ron said a bit disappointed but just nodded.
"I'll be back later, no need to worry about that," she said kissed Ron lightly on the side of the mouth, grabbing her hoodie that was next to him and walked out of the portrate hole, throwing the hooded sweatshirt on. Silver knew that this time of day the Astronamy Tower wasn't being occupied, so she headed up there to just think. She made her way up the winding staircase and plopped on a couch, not knowing anyone was sitting there. When she realized that she wasn't alone she looked over and noticed it was Draco, deeply concentrated in a notebook of somesort. "Hey there, cutie," she said scooting closer to him, "whatcha doin'?"
Draco jumped not realizing someone was sitting next to him. He put down the notebook and smiled at Silver, "Nothing just messing around."
"Oh? Do you write or anything?" Silver asked looking at him.
"Yeah, and draw, and write lyrics," he just shrugged, "but I'm not ready to share them.."
Silver nodded, "Understandable," she smiled.
He smiled too, "Great!" Draco put his arm around her, as she put her head on his shoulder. They stayed like that for a while, before Draco broke the silence.
"Silver," he began, when Silver answered with a 'Hmm?', "I have a question to ask you."
"Yeah? What is it, Draco?" she urged him.
"Well..," he rubbed the back of his neck with his free arm, "I was just wondering...maybe..if..maybe..you wanted to be my girlfriend?"
Silver looked up at him and smiled, "Yes, I'd love to."
He left out a sigh of relief, and smiled, "Great!" Then he leaned down and kissed her like he hadn't kissed her before. He leaned into Silver, making her lay on her back, he crawled on her, as they kissed.
Friday afternoon, Harry and Zen deicded to just walk around the school aimlessly, talking about everything. Silver was still being stubborn, and they weren't getting any further with her. The pranks on mostly Zende, got worse as the week went on. They were a bit surprised that nothing's happened yet. Truthfully, they were both getting tired of the stupid pranks, she was starting to wonder if she should get revenge, but she didn't want to stoop that low.... at least not yet. It's not like they were that harmful.. just more annoying. But Zen was starting to really consider Hermione's offer.
"Any luck with Silver lately?" Zende asked Harry.
"Nothin'," he huffed, tightening his arm around her side "I give up. She's being too stubborn."
"She just looks right through me in class," Zen sighed.
"It's like... we need to lock her in a room, tape her mouth and just talk," Harry joked, trying to lighten the mood.
Zen laughed a bit, "Yeah exactly."
The two walked quietly through the halls for a while. As usual, everyone was at Hogsmeade, so they didn't really feel like going there. They turned a corner, and saw Professor McGonagall coming up the hallway, looking like she was searching for someone or something, "Ah, Potter, Khan! I was looking for you two."
"Me? Why?" Zende asked.
"The headmaster would like to see you both," McGonagall said, calmly. Zen looked at Harry, confused. He just shrugged and the two followed her to the stair case. They got on, McGonagall said the password and it started slowly winding upward to Dumbledore's office.
"Why would he need to see me?" Zen asked Harry quietly. She couldn't think of any reason at all.
"I don't know," he shrugged. They stepped off the stair case once it stopped, and Harry lead her inside the office. Dumbledore was pacing around behind his desk.
"You wanted to see us?" Harry asked, he stood there with Zen both not knowing what to do. Dumbledore stopped pacing and stood behind his desk, looking at the two.
"Please, sit down.." He asked calmly, gesturing towards two chairs. They both sat down.
Dumbledore finally sat down at his desk and sighed heavily. It was another long wait before he spoke again. He looked at Zen. "I'm sure you know.. your parents were very loyal Auror's..?" he asked her calmly.
Zen just nodded.
"Were..?" Harry asked quietly, his hand gripped onto Zen's.
"And the risks that were involved..?" Dumbledore asked her, just as calm as before. Zen just nodded slowly. It was another long pause before he spoke again. Just when she thought things couldn't get any worse, they did."They were found dead.. early this morning." he told her sadly. Harry's grip on her hand only tightened more.
It felt like everything had stopped. Like time stood still while she tried to register the words."How?" Harry asked slowly.
"They were ambushed," Dumbledore answered him. Zen sat there quietly, not knowing what to do, or say, or even think. "Do you have any other place to stay, for holidays and the summer?"
Zen shook her head. "My... family is too scattered.." she sighed. "I want to finish school here.."
"I can understand that..." he trailed off, as though trying to think of something.
"She can stay with me!" Harry said suddenly, making her jump. She looked at him like he was insane.
"That's an excellent idea, Harry." Dumbledore smiled. He looked at Zende again. "If you want, I can give you maybe a couple days off... but it's better to keep a busy mind, then sit and dwell about it."
"I know.. " She said quietly. She just sat there quietly for a while, until they were allowed to leave.
"Are you insane?" she asked Harry after they got off the staircase. Harry just raised his eyebrow at her. "Silver hates me bad enough already.. When she finds out you and Dumbledore are making arrangements to get me to stay with you...she'll kill me!"
"If it's Dumbledore's orders.." he started.
"But its NOT his orders, Harry! It's merely your idea he agree'd with," she told him, "she's going to kill me."
"No she won't." he answered her simply, sliding his arm around her again, "not after I'm done."
"What are you going to do?" she asked him, skeptically. "We've tried everything in the book, Harry."
"I'm going to talk to her weither she wants to listen or not," he said simply. They walked quietly for a while. "Lets go to the A.T." he said, and started pulling her towards the way to the tower. They started calling the Astronamy Tower, A.T. for short, so nobody could figure it out... even if it was fairly obvious... It seemed to work.
The entire way up to the tower, she was struggling to squeeze back tears, but she knew sooner or later he'd see them. Quietly, they finally got up to the tower, and Harry opened the door to let her in. They walked in, and looked around to see if it was occupied.
"What the...?" Harry breathed. Zen followed Harry's gaze over to the couch. It was Silver, and Draco, nearly sucking each other inside and out. Zen was having a hard time not to let her jaw smash through the floor.
"Harry, let's just go.." she tugged on his sleeve. "I don't want to put up with them right now.." she said quietly. But it was too late. Harry had already nearly ripped Draco right off Silver.
Not in the mood for anything to do with those two, Zende just left. She decided to go wait for him in the common room. She knew he'd find her. It wasn't that hard, and he had the map on him. Zen was in no mood for anymore pranks. She just felt like curling up next to Harry. She sat there on the couch, in the deserted common room, waiting for Harry. She sat there with her eyes closed tight, struggling hard not to start crying. After a while, she felt someone sit down next to her, and she opened her eyes. It was Harry. He wiped her eyes slightly, and smiled appologetically.
"Sorry about that.." he said quietly. "I didn't mean to--"
Zen cut him off, and shook her head, "It's fine. I'm just not in the mood for her games right now. Besides, I knew you'd find me."
He smiled and wiped her eyes some more, "There won't be any games for a while, I think. Go get ready to go out."
She raised her eyebrow but headed up the stairs anyway to get ready. She took as quick as she could to get ready. Any chance to get away was enough to keep her happy. Even if she had no idea where he was taking her. She walked back down and met him by the portrait hole. "I'm ready," he grinned, grabbing her hand tightly and pulling her out of the portrait hole.
Silver tried to nurse Draco's bleeding lip with her hoodie, "I am so sorry that Harry did that to you. I didn't expect him to come up here, or hit you!"
Draco winced at the pain, "I guess I deserved it didn't I?"
"Of course you didn't! Why would you say that?" Silver said, dabbing some blood off of his lip.
"Because, um...I'm always an ass to him, and here I am sucking your brains out," he said thoughtfully.
"Draco, I was kissing you back just the same. I'm surprised he didn't do anything to me," she sighed, "but I'm sure it's coming."
"Just because of what we're doing?" he stopped her from cleaning him up some more.
"No..well yes..that too..but mainly because I've been horrible to Zen..and now I feel aweful..I don't know what I was thinking," Silver sighed heavily, with a look on her face saying that she really meant what she was saying. Draco pulled her to him to rest her head on his chest. "And now this..it just makes me feel even more rotten. I deserve to be tortured in every way possible. I'm such a horrible person. That's why I was lying low today, not doing anything to her. Now, I just," she couldn't say anymore, she was getting too choked up. "I gotta go talk to her, I know she won't believe me, but it's worth a shot...right?"
Draco listened to her, in shock, "Yeah it is. Go talk to her..you've got nothing to loose."
"Psh, that's what you think.." she closed her eyes.
"Want me to come with you for moral support?" Draco asked her, rubbing her back.
"No..no, I've gotta do this on my own, and I'm sure if Harry's with her, which I'm sure he is, he'll have another go at you."
"Yeah, that's true. Just becareful," he said looking down at his girlfriend with concern.
"I will," she kissed his wound, which made him moan a bit. Taking a deep breath, she got up, leaving her hoodie without realizing it and walked out of the Tower to the common room where she was sure she'd find her. When she got to the common room she saw Harry and Zende leaving the portrait hole. "Zende wait..I really need to talk to you."
Zende gave her a look, trying hard not to make it obvious that she knew the things that were happening to her was done by Silver, "What?"
Silver took a really deep breath and looked at her, "I'm sure you already know..that..everything that was happening to you this week was by me..and a bit by the twins..but mainly me..anyways, today..I was thinking...really hard..and I feel aweful for the things I've done to you..I was just jealous and angry that my best friend had been spending all of his time with you..it felt as though I were loosing my best friend...I mean you come..we begin to become friends..and then you and Harry happened..and it just.." she shrugged, then Silver tried to blink back tears that were stinging the back of her eyes, "and then I find out what had just happened, and I feel even more rotten than I did..I'm such a horrible, horrible person...I wasn't thinking...I did everything out of jealousy.." Silver blinked letting a tear fall, not even knowing it. She never cried if she didn't mean what she was saying, "I deserve to be tortured in every horrible, possible way..and I understand if you totally hate me now.." Silver couldn't think straight. She wasn't sure if she said everything she had wanted to. "Oh..and by the way..I'm sure this won't make you feel any better...but my mother was killed by Voldemort a few years back.." She tried everything not to sob right then and there. She couldn't bare it anymore, she was afraid of Zende's reaction, so she just turned around and began to walk away.
Harry and Zen were out later then she'd ever been in her life, last night. They went everywhere. All over Hogsmeade and back and everywhere else they could possibly think of until they ran out of ideas, just go get away and talk. He definately got Zen's mind off everything for a while.
The next morning, Zen got up - feeling alittle bit better, but not by much. Checking her watch, she got changed, and started to head out to meet Harry and go somewhere for food. She started to walk through the common room and spoted Silver, looking like she was lost in thought. Zen was still in no mood to talk about all that crap right now, so she just continued walking.
"Zen, wait!" Silver called once she'd almost made it out. Zen stopped and slowly turned to look at her.
"What?" she said coldly.
"I'm so sorry about everything... can we just... start over?" she asked hopefully,"please?"
Zen just looked at her for a minute and frowned, or more like glared. "If this is what has to happen before I'd get any sort of appology, then.. I don't want to hear it right now," she said bitterly. Silver just sighed and completely avoided eyecontact even more. "Besides," Zen added. "I thought you could care less about me because you 'hardly' know me." She said just as bitterly as before, finger quoting Silver from earlier that week. She didn't bother waiting for a response, she knew she'd be even more late meeting Harry, so she just left.
On her way to meeting Harry by the courtyard, she'd managed to calm herself down enough that it looked like nothing was wrong. Or at least so she thought. She spotted Harry and walked up to him from behind and messed up his hair. He jumped and spun around.
"Why, hello Cutiepie," she grinned at him.
"You seem in a better mood," he smiled at her.
She just shrugged, "Meh. Somewhat."
"Well," he smiled at her more, "Somewhat's usualy a good sign.." he teased. She smiled and kissed him softly out of nowhere. "What was that for?" he asked, a bit surprised.
"A thanks, for last night.." she smiled, "I needed it."
"I know you did," he smiled. "so where do you wanna go?"
She shrugged, "Surprise me?"
He grinned even more, "Alrighty!"
They started walking to who knows where, and before they knew it they were at a small cafe type place. They both sat down, and ordered. "So you had a good time last night?" she asked him while they waited.
"Best night of my life," he smiled. "You?"
"It was exacly what I needed." She smiled. "Carefree... Distracting.."
"Good," he smiled more.
They sat there quietly for a while until the food came. Zen really had nothing to talk about, she didn't want to talk about all that stuff with Silver. Infact, she was more in the mood of just some random pointelss conversation. "You know.." Harry said quietly all of a sudden. "I realized something last night.." he leanded closer to her. she looked up at him.
"and whats that?" she asked, not thinking of anything.
"I know its a bit... er--soon," he sputterd quietly. She just looked at him patiently, he was turning every possible shade of red. "I... I er... I ..think..Iloveyou." he said the last bit so quickly it took her a minute to figure out what he'd said. Of course, she said it back, once she'd gotten over the shock. He smiled and kissed her, and they finished eating and headed back to the school.
Fred bounced over to Ron and Silver, "Silvy," he sat in the chair in front of the couch.
Silver looked at Fred as if she wasn't in a daze, "Yes, Freddie."
"Are you alright? Me and George noticed you haven't been yourself today," he asked concerned.

"But you'll be ok, right?" he reached out and touched her knee. Ron tried to hold bad a sneer. He really had no right to sneer, she's also his brothers friend and he was concerned, nothing to sneer about.

"You seem in a better mood," he smiled at her.
She just shrugged, "Meh. Somewhat."
"Well," he smiled at her more, "Somewhat's usualy a good sign.." he teased. She smiled and kissed him softly out of nowhere. "What was that for?" he asked, a bit surprised.
"A thanks, for last night.." she smiled, "I needed it."
"I know you did," he smiled. "so where do you wanna go?"
She shrugged, "Surprise me?"
He grinned even more, "Alrighty!"
They started walking to who knows where, and before they knew it they were at a small cafe type place. They both sat down, and ordered. "So you had a good time last night?" she asked him while they waited.
"Best night of my life," he smiled. "You?"
"It was exacly what I needed." She smiled. "Carefree... Distracting.."
"Good," he smiled more.
They sat there quietly for a while until the food came. Zen really had nothing to talk about, she didn't want to talk about all that stuff with Silver. Infact, she was more in the mood of just some random pointelss conversation. "You know.." Harry said quietly all of a sudden. "I realized something last night.." he leanded closer to her. she looked up at him.
"and whats that?" she asked, not thinking of anything.
"I know its a bit... er--soon," he sputterd quietly. She just looked at him patiently, he was turning every possible shade of red. "I... I er... I ..think..Iloveyou." he said the last bit so quickly it took her a minute to figure out what he'd said. Of course, she said it back, once she'd gotten over the shock. He smiled and kissed her, and they finished eating and headed back to the school.
