A/N: Snuffy here. Just wanted to post another chapter before I leave. I may try and get one more out though I'm not sure.

Disclaimer: Harry Potter isn't ours. Only in our twisted brains.





Harry stood up quickly when he heard Sandy scream. "I SWEAR I'LL KILL HIM!" Sirius grabbed his wand from the table and followed Harry up the stairs. They reached Sandy's door, and pounded on it when they discovered it locked. "MALFOY OPEN THIS DOOR NOW OR BY MERLIN I'LL HEX YOU TO KINGDOM COME!!" Harry yelled through the door. Finally after what seemed like hours instead of seconds, the lock gave a small click as it opened. Sirius and Harry burst into the room to find Sandy sitting on her bed crying with Draco's arms enfolding her. Sirius walked over and placed a hand on Sandy's head. "What happened?" "Draco's r-ring. Bu-burned m-me!" she managed to gasp between sobs. Harry walked over and shoved Draco out of the way. "Come here baby. I'll protect you." He glared at Draco over Sandy's head. Draco just shrugged his shoulders; "I have no clue what happened so don't go blaming it on me. I didn't even realize the bloody thing fell out of my pocket."

Several minutes later Hermione had arrived to help comfort Sandy. "This needs a woman's touch," she said as she forced everyone out of the room. Sandy stood up and hugged Hermione fiercely. "I'm so glad you're here,' she sobbed into Hermione's shoulder. "What happened?" Sandy fell back onto the bed then began to tell Hermione what had happened. Hermione grabbed Sandy's hand after she had told her story. "Let me see that!" Burned into the palm of Sandy's hand were two dragons intertwined around a knife. The raised burn was beginning to blister and Sandy screamed in pain as Hermione ran her fingers over it. "I think I've seen this somewhere before," Hermione stated, "Oh I know where! The library!" She grabbed Sandy by the hand a started hauling her out of the room. "Um Hermione.where are we going?" "To find the book I saw this in, I think it was in umm November I saw it." She turned and continued towards the door. "HERMIONE!!" "What?" Sandy sighed, "We aren't at Hogwarts you know." Hermione looked around quickly. "I guess you have a point."

Downstairs Harry and Draco were sitting glaring at each other across the living room. "Stupid git," Harry mumbled under his breath. Draco raised an eyebrow in disgust. "Are you calling me stupid? I think someone has their wires crossed." Harry stood up in a rage, "And just what do you mean by that?" Draco sighed and shook his head. "How do I explain this in Potter terms?" he thought to himself. Draco absentmindedly began fumbling with the ring in his pocket. Without thinking he slipped it onto his finger. Suddenly it didn't matter to him anymore if Harry was pissed or not. "You know that she doesn't really love you. She loves me and you're to blind to see it!" Harry jumped at Draco throwing punches as he went. "TAKE THAT BACK BASTARD!!"

Sandy and Hermione heard a very loud crash, and raced downstairs to see what had happened. Harry had thrown Draco into the table causing it to break in half. "HARRY STOP IT!" Sandy pleaded. He had Draco pinned to the wall by the throat. Harry released his firm grip letting Draco fall to the floor, where he gasped for any breath of air he could manage. "HARRY WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HIM," Sandy screamed. "No regrets there," he retorted. "Tell me what's wrong," Sandy said firmly. Harry glared at her, "You tell me." Sandy was rather shocked with his answer. He rolled his eyes at her loss of words and said, "Malfoy just told me that you don't love me. You love him, but I'm to blind to see it!" "Harry, you know she loves you. Don't for one minute let that bloody git make you think any different," Hermione stated. Harry was close to tears. Sandy, on the other hand, was tending to Draco, not even worried about Harry's bleeding knuckles, cut lip, or his broken wrist. "You're going to be ok. I promise," Sandy said to Draco. "So it's true! You do love him! Why do I waste my time? YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME AND NOTHING COULD CHANGE THAT!" Harry blew up in rage. "Face it, Potter. You are no match for me," Draco said evilly. "IF YOU THINK I WASTED YOUR TIME THEN MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T WASTE ANYMORE OF IT WITH THIS RELATIONSHIP!!" Sandy screamed through tears. "Now you know you don't mean that Sandy," Hermione whispered as she watched in shock. "YES I DO! THE ENGAGEMENT IS OFF! THE WEDDING IS OFF!" she broke down into hysterics. "THEN WE ARE FINISHED," Harry screamed back at her, lost in his own panic-stricken rage. Hermione couldn't believe what she had just seen, as she watched Sandy follow Draco out the door like she was a lost puppy. She turned to Harry, who was sitting on the couch crying his eyes out, and patted his back awkwardly. "Something is wrong, very wrong and I think is has something to do with that ring," Hermione thought as she hugged Harry tightly.

Sandy followed Draco around the corner, and sighed as she caught up to him. "Draco what just happened back there?" she managed to ask before a fresh round of tears broke through. Draco looked at her with a look of shock on his face. "You know what Sandy? I'm honestly not sure. I don't know what came over me, I just." he hesitated, then pulled Sandy close to him and wrapped her in a hug. "Please don't cry. I can't stand to see you cry, you know that." Sandy sniffed, as she stood up straighter. "I know Draco, I.I just can't help it. I thought after what happened with Alex nothing like this would ever happen again." Draco looked deep into Sandy's aqua eyes, and then kissed her quickly. "Don't worry baby I won't let anything happen to you ever again." Sandy snuggled closer to Draco, not caring who saw them, and said, "Thank you for that." Draco smiled down at her, then raised an arm to summon the Knight Bus.
