Strange... Harry's P.o.V.

So Tailii had joined our group. She was the sweetest little girl, despite her first impression of being..well..a bitch. She constantly apologized for saying the things she had though. She took after Ginny a lot, as well. It seemed as though Ginny was her mentor. Wherever one was, there was the other. Tailii..or Tai as she liked to be called, WAS a first year, but she picked up magic quickly. It seemed also that Gin had been teaching Tai to play quidditch. The girl could spot things almost as quickly as I myself could, and she was much more agile. Perhaps next year she cold try out for the team...

Dray and I were constantly together, more so than we had been in the beginning, if possible. We stayed far from Derrek, knowing that he may try and do something to my dragon if we weren't careful. I stayed in Dray's room more often, to make sure that Derrek never found the password to the room. I lost a lot of sleep the first few weeks after what had gone on in the greenhouse..I had to make sure no one would harm my Draco..

But then Derrek started acting strangely. He slowly stopped his advances towards me. My relief was immense, all though I was still wary. I didn't trust him at all. I knew that he was capable of, if necessary, hurting Dray more than telling him only that I had cheated. Granted I knew, as well as Dray did, that everything that came out of Derrek's mouth about me, or Dray, wasn't true.

The weeks went by slowly at first, the initial fear was nearly too much for all of us. But gradually, time seemed to speed up. Derrek talked to me less and less. He stopped following me. He even stopped tormenting Draco. Tailii told us that he had written to their mother saying that he was giving up, and that it was impossible to get me to leave Dray. He was right, as well.

Eventually, Derrek seemed to have broken all contact with all of us, including his sister. Time went back to its normal pace. The days flew by, it was approaching spring quickly. Then..the night came..that everything changed. Our group, our fears..and our lives changed drastically.

A/n: I know, still in a cliffhanger. I'm writing as fast as I can, the ideas just keep coming for a couple more chapters before Derrek tries to go through with his plan. And I know, the chapters have shortened. But heck..I'm still writing dammit!! Comment with any questions ^^
