Everyone had gotten up and changed and either were hanging down in the common room to wait for their friends, or were already down in the Hall eating. Silver sluggishly rolled out of bed and changed into her school uniform. When she got dressed, she noticed she was the only one in there. As she was getting her shoes on, she heard someone come up the stairs and through the door. It was Zende. "Good, you're up. Harry wanted me to wake you up. He kept on bugging me about it, so I said I'd come and wake ya. And I also forgot my bag," she said grabbing her bag off of her bed, holding it up and slinging it over her shoulder.

Silver looked up a Zende through tired eyes, "Someone's sure talkative today."

Zen just shrugged, "Come on, I'm starving." She grabbed onto Silver's arm after she finished tying her shoe.

"Ah! Slow down, horsey! I need my bag and my wand," Silver said breaking away, and slinging her bag over her shoulder and stuffing her wand in a little pocket thing she made inside of her robe to hold her wand. "Now, I'm ready." Sil looked at her friend. "What was in your toothpaste this morning?"

Zende just laughed, dragging Silver out of the dorm. They made their way down to the common room. It was only Harry left. Sil looked around. Ron was no where in sight. She kind of frowned as they made their way over to Harry. "Morning, sleepiehead," Harry said to Silver as she yawned.

"Yeah, yeah, morning," she said as they headed out of the portrait hole and down the Grand Staircase. "I noticed Ron wasn't in there," she said a bit disappointed.

Zen frowned a bit, "He was one of the first ones to leave this morning. He didn't even talk to Harry. We're hoping he'll come around a bit later."

Silver sighed and frowned also, "I hope so too. I mean it's not just my fault. Well..it's not even my fault. Is it? Anyways..argh. I just don't want to loose the friendship we have. He's like my best friend..well beside's you Harry," Harry just nodded as they made their way to the Hall doors, "and well...I'm just frusterated!"

Just then Draco came walking up to Silver. He didn't care if the other two was there. As Draco approched Silver he hugged her then looked down at her, "Are you alright, today?"

Silver sighed and leaned her head on his chest, "I don't know...Ron wasn't in the common room this morning when I woke up and he's always in there to walk down to breakfast with me. Zen said he was one of the first ones to leave."

Harry stood there with his fists clentched and ready to pounce at Draco any second, but Zende held him back. "I'm sorry..I hope everything works out between you two..I mean he is your best friend," Draco said rubbing her arms.

"Oh, I'm sure you hope it'll work out. Yeah right, Malfoy what kind of lie is that? You just want Silver all to yourself so you're plotting against all of her friends to start hating on her so she can be all yours! Am I right? Hmm?" Harry burst out.

Silver took her head off of Draco's chest and looked at Harry shocked. Draco was shocked himself. "Harry!" Silver said shooting him a look.

Draco just let out a little scornful laugh, "Potter..Potter, Potter, Potter..why would you ever thing something like that? I don't want to take Silver from any body. I mean, I just want her to be happy. And whatever makes her happy, makes me happy. Also, another thing, Potter, I didn't even know Weasley had a thing for her until last night. So how can I plot against anyone to make them turn against Silver. I'd never do that. Only because it would hurt her and I can't to see her hurt. Or to hurt her."

Harry just kind of stood there, but still had that look on his face, "Yeah, whatever. But if you do hurt her, so help me, you wouldn't even know what hit you!"

"Are you so sure about that?" Draco kind of laughed. "Anyways, I best be going, I'm starving." He then turned to Silver, "I'll see you in class, alright?" He smiled at her.

Silver smiled back and hugged him, "Alright, I'll see you later." With that, they kissed and he left into the Great Hall. Silver turned and looked at Harry, "See? He's not such a bad guy, Harry! He has never done anything to me, at all. So, I don't know why he'd start know."

Zende just kind of shook her head, "Come on guys, let's just eat. Breakfast should be almost over soon anyways." The three of them went in and sat down. Ron wasn't in there. As they got to the table, Silver slumped in her seat.

Breakfast was over, and they headed to Hagrid's class. They had to pair up to tame some weird bat like thing. Ron didn't even make a move to go and pair with Silver. Instead he paired with Neville. So, Silver and Draco paired together. They, of course, got a lot of looks and whispers for pairing up together, but they just ignored it. Then Divinations came. It appearently went back to their old seating arrangment. Zen with Silver, and Ron with Harry, but Ron hardly spoke to Harry. Only when he needed too. As the day wore on, he continued to avoid Silver. Avoid anyone really. He hardly spoke to anyone at all.

After school was over, Ron was no where to be found. Silver didn't know how long this was going to go on for. She couldn't take it anymore. Even if it was a day. She wanted it to end, and she wanted it to end now. Finally it was dinner time. Ron showed up to that, shockingly. There really wasn't anywhere else to sit, so he sat where he normally sat, next to Silver but he didn't bother talking to her. He kept to himself like he had been all day. As soon as he was finished eating, he left.

Silver dropped her head where her plate used to be, "Why? Why doesn't he want me to be happy? He's only making me more miserable! Does he know he's tearing my world apart right now?"

Neville over heard and looked over at Silver, "I wouldn't be talking Mrs. Malfoy. You're tearing his world apart. You're making him miserable."

Silver shot him a deadly look, "Like I didn't know that, Longbottom. Thanks for clearing that up for me. How do you know anyways?"

"I noticed him during COMC today when you were with Draco, he kept on watching you. He hardly did anything he was supposed. He looked so miserable. I couldn't take it anymore so I asked him what the heck was bothering him," Neville said.

Silver could only sigh. Dinner was about over anyway, so Sil, Zende, and Harry all got up and headed back to the Gryffindor Tower. They got to the portrait hole and Zen spoke up after a bit of silence, "I'll go talk to him now..like I said I would." With that she walked in ahead of Silver and Harry. When the pair walked in they saw Zen making her way over to Ron.

She turned to Harry, "I can't be in the same room when she's talking to him. I'm going to the dorm." All Harry did was nod, then Silver quickly went to the girl's dorm without being seen. Harry just sat in a nice content corner watching Zende talk to Ron.

Zende tried hard to get through Ron, she basically said the same thing she's said to Silver, except leaving out about Taylor. Ron was just being stubborn and wouldn't listen. Or at least he acted like he wasn't listening. After about nearly an hour, she gave up and headed to go see if Silver was awake. Silver was laying on her bed but her back faced to Zen, so she figured Silver probably fell asleep, so she didn't bother waking her. Zende went back down the stairs and walked over to a very bored Harry after Ron left to the boys' room.

"Any luck?" Harry asked her after.

"Nada," she sighed flopping down beside him. "He's being stubborn."

"That's Ron for you," Harry said. Zende just sat there with her head on his shoulder.

"Any ideas?" she asked him.

"Lock them in a room together and not let them out?" Harry offered, half jokingly.

Zende laughed, "If all else fails," she told him.

"Wanna go walk around for a bit? I'm not all that tired," Harry smiled.

"Okay," she smiled back, sitting up. He got up and pulled her to her feet. "I have to go send out a letter, anyway."

"To who?" Harry asked, grabbing his sweater.

"Just some family," she lied and headed to the girls room to get the letter. It killed her to lie to him, like that. But it was a letter to Taylor. It's been a few weeks since she wrote back to him, and she'd asked him to meet her in Hogsmeade that coming weekend. Alone.

After she sent her owl off with the letter, her and Harry left and decided to go to the A.T. They'd talked enough that day to Silver and Ron, that they didn't feel the need to talk once they were alone in the A.T. They just enjoyed the quietness and being there with each other, on the couch staring at the stars.

About an hour later, Zende decided to just tell Harry about Tay. About the letter and everything. She couldn't stand keeping it from him. She lifted her head off his shoulder and sat up indian style to look at him. He looked over at her, surprised. She took a deep breath. "There's something I haven't told you.." she said slowly. He sat the same way, to look at her, knowing something was wrong.

"What is it?" he asked.

Zende sighed and slipped her fingers through Harry's. "That letter... um.. wasn't to a family member.."

He raised his eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Remember when I told you I had a friend back home that loved Potions?" she asked.

He sat there for a minute, and then nodded, "Yeah."

"Well... Uh... His name's Taylor, and... we were friends much like how Silver and Ron are..." Zende told him. "He's like a brother to me, but he's very protective of me.." she started. Harry just sat there, listening. "The week I was getting ready to leave for here, um... he... told me he loved me..and well... we got in a big fight, the same way Sil and Ron are.. Only I got mad because he took so damn long to tell me. We... Didn't make up till the day I left for the train." She told him. Harry just listened, more."He knows that we're friends, but he doesn't know we're dating, or what happend to my parents, that I'm staying with you and Sirius..." she said. "the letter, I um... asked him to meet me this weekend.. in Hogsmeade...alone.."

"Why didn't u ever tell me this?!" Harry asked.

"I didn't know how. It wasnt fun keeping it from you, Harry!" Zende told him. "Why do you think I'm telling you now? I couldn't stand it anymore."

"So what did you say when he said that to you? That he loved you... " Harry asked hotly.

Zende sighed, "Nothing, what could I say? I was moving yet again!"

Harry just sat there, "Anything else being kept from me?"

Zende stared at him, "You know I'm not Harry, I've told you everything! Besides, I said it back to you, Harry. Not him."

"It didn't sound like you ment it much," Harry grumbled.

Zen was about ready to pounce on him for saying that, "Of course I ment it, Harry! I was just surprised! I told you now because I couldn't stand it anymore. I couldn't stand not telling you!" Zen paused, and sighed, sliding off the couch to leave. "Look, he's going to take this a lot worse then you are - If that's possible, and I really don't need to be stuck in two fights. I'll see you in the morning."

Zende started to head quickly back to the common room. She just got to the portrait hole, when she heard a very breathless Harry call her. She turned around to look at him, and it looked like he had ran the whole way there from the tower - which was quite a run. She stood there and waited for him to catch his breath and say something. After he caught it, he looked at her, and then out of nowhere, kissed her hard.

"I'm sorry," He said, after pulling away. Zende sighed heavily and collapsed in his arms. "I didn't mean to act like that.. I just..."

"It's okay.. I half expected you to not take it well," she looked up at him. "Forget about it,"

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with when you talk to him?" Harry asked after a while.

Zende shook her head, "No, I'll be fine." she smiled. "Besides, Silver could probably use ya durring that time."

"I guess," he said. She smiled at him and they headed back inside the common room.
