Disclaimer: I obviously do not own any of the Harry Potter characters. I own the plot and any characters that do not appear in the Harry Potter books. I will not put this disclaimer up in future chapters because it's a waste of my time writing it over and over. I trust that all of you are smart enough to know that this applies to all of my chapters.

A/N: Thank You to killrgcriotgirl for being my first reviewer. I know there are other people out there who are reading this story. Review if you want to, but it does help the creative process if you do. If you don't want to then that's ok. I'll just never be able to thank you, or care about your opinion.

I couldn't stop screaming. I was shaking. I didn't have control over my body anymore. I felt someone pick me up. I couldn't see who it was.

"Lydia! Lydia! Stop! Wake up! Parvati go get help! Can't you see she is in a state of shock!" the bossy voice of a girl was shaking me harder that by body could. I think it was Hermione Granger. I did share a dormitory with her, Lavender Brown, and Parvati Patil.

Suddenly the urge to vomit overcame me. I managed to get away from Hermione and hold on to something that felt like cold stone. I was near a window. I opened it and let myself vomit. I still couldn't open my eyes.

"Is she conscience Miss Patil?" a concerned voice asked. I knew it had to be Professor McGonagall. Damn. These people really should've learned to become sound sleepers.

"I can't see!" I said hoping they would help me on that part. I realized that I was crying. Double damn. I really should've learned to not cry.

I felt someone hold my face steady. I stopped shaking as much as before. Although my face was having a spaz attack.

"Now, now it's all right. You're just having a nervous breakdown. You can open them. Give them a try." Professor McGonagall I could see how you were trying to be nice, but that moment I needed to get away from you people.

I tried to open them. Damn again the lady was right. I saw the scared look of my roommates and Professor McGonagall's concerned look. Agh. The door was open and I saw the faces of some fourth years and the Weasley sister staring at me. I went and shut the door in their faces and locked it. I slowly turned around and faced the older woman and three girls.

"What happened?" I said in what I hoped was a commanding voice.

"Don't you know? I mean that is the question you really should be answering." Hermione was trying to get me to talk. Boy did she pick the wrong person.

"I asked first. Anyway the reason I am asking is because I want to know what you know."

"You started screaming." She said while twisting her hand. She was nervous. She probably thought I was crazy. I made a mental note to remember her reaction. She continued, "It woke us all up. You then proceeded to shake violently. You cried and screamed so loudly. I'm sure everyone in the castle heard you. You were so loud and we didn't know what to do. I grabbed you and tried to wake you up."

"You did." I interrupted her. I was leaning with my back to the door and my head resting on it.

"Oh well good" she said even more nervous like. The she finished her story, "I told Parvati to go and fetch Professor McGonagall. You shoved me and stumbled to the window. You threw up and Parvati came back with the Professor. And that's all." She said lamely. She then started to stare at her nails. Another nervous habit she and every other female on the planet posesed. The other two girls stared at the floor. I guess they really were very determined not to look me in the face. As if this were all their fault. Professor McGonagall just looked at me.

"I think we had better take you to the Hospital wing so Madame Pomfrey can have a look at you. After that I will take you to Professor Dumbledore's office. I'm sure after he hears what happened he will want to have a word with you." Professor McGonagall then walked over to me.

I held out my hand to stop her from coming any closer. I told her, "I already went to see Madame Pomfrey today. I had a stomach ache earlier and she gave me some medicine."

She looked me straight in the eye and said, "Well I still would feel better if she had another look at you."

Hell no over my dead body. As if I would go down there again. Who knows what kinds of potions she could have to make me talk? I walked to by bed grabbed my wand, then I turned around, unlocked the door, wretched it open, and shoved the kids that were in front of the door. I ran down the staircase. As I ran down to the common room I saw that I had awakened the whole house. Many faces stared at me as I ran. When I got to the common room I saw the Weasley girl talking to Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.

"What happened?" Harry Potter asked me with a look of concern. I saw what looked like pity on Ron's face. After that something inside me snapped. I didn't need anyone's pity. And since when did Potter or Weasley give a damn about me.

"You know what its nothing of your god damn business. So leave me the fuck alone." I yelled. I got to the portrait, opened it up, left the tower, and then performed a spell on the portrait I had read about. This was suppose to keep anyone from getting in or out for about an hour. Enough time for me to think of something.

Down the corridor and out into the Staircase Hall I ran. I was so terrified that I would meet a prefect along the way. When I reached the Entrance Hall I saw about three of them talking. I would have to do something to distract them. I looked closer and saw that they were two Slytherins and a Ravenclaw. By now I had realized that Professor McGonagall could leave the tower by floo powder. Damn she was going to tell my Grandfather. I had an idea. A ghost could help me.

So I had to run back to the second floor. I ran into the girls' bathroom. Myrtle was hovering above a window.

"Myrtle I need a big favor. Please come help me its urgent!" I pleaded.

"All right what do you need? I would be happy to help you."

"I need you to distract some prefects so I can get out of the castle. Just for the night. Please Myrtle they're going to come looking for me any minute." I was frantic. McGonagall must've talked to my Grandfather by now. The prefects must've known to search for me.

"What did you do?" she said with interest. The ghost just didn't understand how I was desperate to get out of there.

"Never mind that right now I'll have to tell you later. You know I will. Now hurry and follow me!" I raced out of the bathroom. I turned around to see if Myrtle was behind me. Thank God she was.

We reached the Entrance Hall. Now there were about six prefects and damn Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall were talking to them. I raise and finger to my lip and gave her instructions.

"Now Myrtle I need you to appear out from the doors and ask what they are doing." I said as I pointed to the small (well to me not so small) group. "If they are talking about me say that you saw me down by the lake. If they don't ask say you saw a student, then say my first name only, down by the lake. Keep them distracted for as long as you can. I am going to go down to the Forbidden Forest. I'm going to sneak by Hagrid's hut. What ever you do make sure that they do not see me. I owe you something."

"No problem this will be easy. Actually it seems quite fun to be doing some mischief." with a wink I saw disappear under the floor.

I kept thinking, please Myrtle don't screw this up. Hurry please hurry. A few moments later I saw her float through the doors and approach the group. Some more time passed. I saw the group walk out through the doors, out onto the grounds.

I walked up to the doors once I was sure that everyone was gone. I carefully opened the doors and snuck out. I saw that Myrtle had indeed gotten the prefects and professors to head down and search the lake. I went the opposite direction. I lurked in the shadows and said a thank you prayer. There was no moon tonight. The light from the Castle made a pathway of shadows that I could walk through without being seen. Then I finally reached the forest by Hagrid's hut.

"Locomotor Mortis!" a voice shouted. I was trapped me in the leg-locker curse. I lost my balance and hit the ground. Whoever did this to me would have to watch out. I was so close to reaching the forest. Damn whoever trapped me. I looked up and saw the little idiot. Malfoy had me trapped.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't go and call Snape or McGonagall. Did you know that they are down by the lake with other prefects looking for you? You are in so much trouble. Not only did you leave your dormitory after hours, but you were heading for the Forbidden Forest. I've been in there and trust me you don't want to go in there."

"If you call anybody I will get back at you. You don't know who the fuck I am so you better not mess with me. Let me go or I will be forced to bunny hop into the forest, and when I get out you will be in for hell." then I spat on him.

"Fuck watch it! Can't you tell I'm trying to be nice! Its not easy to be polite to a Gryffindor, especially one who has a foul mouth." he was starting to look pissed, but I really didn't care. "Besides I think I would rather enjoy seeing a Gryffindor bunny hop like the little bunnies they all are."

I started to laugh, "I'm a girl idiot. I really don't give a fuck if I look like a bunny."

"You know Snape said not to be to severe on you, but I'm beginning to think it really doesn't make a difference."

"Snape told all of you to be nice to me!? What about McGonagall what did she say?"

"She just said not to hurt you and that you were pretty weak right now considering you had just vomited any lunch that you had left in your stomach. Snape said you didn't go to eat dinner tonight. Tell me is that how you keep a nice figure by being anorexic and bulimic?" he said with an air of interest.

"Of course I'm not. Look I'll make you a deal. I need to go into the Forest. I'll do anything if you let me go and say that you didn't see me." I was pleading to an ass, but I was desperate.

"Well I would like to have my own mistress." he said with a smirk.

"Aw hell no, send me to the headmaster then." as if, this guy had to be dreaming.

"Fine I'll think of something. Where did you learn to talk like that? God I thought you Gryffindors were all saints." he muttered the counter curse and I was able to get up from the ground.

"I live in New York City during the summer. My parents own a Penthouse suite. I just live there because my father has to do business all the time. When I was little we did live in Surrey. We are a pureblooded family. And no I am not a saint." I said as I massaged my arm.

"Is your family rich?"

"Yes, but my father is careful that we are never in the news. Thank you for letting me go. I'll figure something out to repay you with."

I ran into the Forest without looking back. As I ran down a familiar path I felt tears fall from my cheeks as I thought about my father.
