The next day went by in a blur for Hilary, last night had been it. Luke was no longer angry with her. And now they were back to the way they were before. Part of her was so happy, so relieved, she wanted to tell everyone about how much she loved him. But then she remembered she couldn't say a word about it to any one. The other part however was solemn, and walked around with a content face, when she saw Luke in the halls her heart would leap.

Usually he was just with his friends... and it didn't matter but there were times when she saw him with another girl. Her heart would do this weird twisty thing, she couldn't figure it out. But always instead of getting mad she would tell herself, 'Why is he with her? Am i not good enough?' or 'He isnt the problem, its me i need to be better'.

When they were together she wanted so badly to hold him and just be in his arms and talk like they used to, but there relationship was different now, it went above and beyond so much more.

Her mind was filled with so much yelling and so much trauma she could hardly stand it. She didn't understand what was wrong with her. She couldn't focus, her mind was gone always on something else. At first she told herself that it was the deeper love that they had found. But she knew that wasnt it... there was more, so much more.

One day while sitting quietly in the library, pretending to write notes down on her parchment, Matthew Weasley came up to her.

"Hilary?" she looked up but only just

"I wanted to apologize, for the way i yelled at you, clearly you were upset and you didn't need me bugging you like i was... I guess i just miss us i miss our friendship... You used to talk to me"

Hilary stared at her parchment, Luke was in potions and wouldnt be out for another hour. She needed to talk to someone so badly... to clear her head, get her emotions straight... and quit being so afraid.

"Its ok... If i tell you what i am about to tell you, you cant get angry, you just need to listen and help me figure me out"

Matthew nodded eagerly,

"About eight months ago I started seeing this guy... his name is Luke... he is in fourth year... Slytherin House"

Matthew squinted his eyebrows and looked at her questioningly

"We kept it a secret, because I didnt want EVERYONE giving me the look you are giving me now... you just dont understand its different with him, he was the first boy that ever told me he loves me, and i love him"

Matthew's heart took a sudden jab... she loved him? How could she she'd only known him for a few months... so she never loved Matthew not even as a friend?

"Not too long ago, Luke started wanting MORE from our relationship... more than i could give at that time... And when you came up to me a few weeks ago, we had just broken up, I couldn't stand myself. What was wrong with me, I still don't even know, I missed him so much, in everything i did i saw his face, and it killed me, he became my only friend, the only person i could talk to about somethings, he became everything to me, and then he was gone... and i hated myself for making him leave"

Matthew did nothing but nod, he had no idea how to respond to what she was saying,

"After we had our talk, Luke gave me a note telling him to meet me in the same place we always meet. He yelled at me, screamed at me for talking to you, he was so jealous, and he is only doing what he did out of love and i know that and i love him so much for it. It was then that i realized there was only one thing i could do, and i did it, i know it sounds horrible, please don't be mad at me, but it brought us so much closer!"

Matthew was now staring at the ground his eyes wide, Hilary had never seen him like this

"Don't be mad, PLEASE MATTHEW, i wanted to. Its just that now i feel so mucked up, like I'm in a thousand places at once, i want to be with him so badly, and then i see him talking to other girls and i want to cry because he shouldn't need to talk to them, and why arent i good enough. I'm just so confused... I feel so lost"

"That little son of a bitch I'll kill him!"

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I told you this because i thought i could trust you and that you could help me, help me be better for him!"

"What are you talking about? You were fine you were always fine! I noticed a change in you Hilary, you used to be the cool collected girl. You realize you are among the most beautiful girls here at this school! All the guys call you a shootin' star, you are there gorgeous one second and then you are off to God only knows where! You used to come to class without make up, i cannot even tell you what that made me do! Lately i always see you dressed up and pampered looking so down all the time! You never had to be better for him! You are already better than him!"

"Why do you say these things, its not true! Nobody even notices me, and Luke thinks I'm beautiful too, he just likes me to look my best, always"

"Thats just it, you ARE always your best!"

"CLEARLY I'M NOT! AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE LOVES ME! HE LOVES ME!"

"HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU, HE JUST WANTS TO GET IN YOUR PANTS!"

Smack! She couldn't believe he had just said that. why would he say something like that?

"I'm sorry Hil, its just, if he really loved you like you said he does, he would love you for your faults, he would want you to be yourself because you are so amazing... but he doesn't he is treating you like a product of what he wants you to be"

"I gotta go Matthew, i am meeting Luke"

"Look Hil, he is messing you up, and i don't care what you say, if you don't break up with him soon, I'm gonna tell Hamilton, I just hope he gets to do to Luke what i wish i could"

"AGH!"

And she left, she was so upset... at what she didn't know but she was definitely upset

Motherhood had been kind to Hannah, she had gotten her figure back about 3 months after birth and her daughter Lily Ann Wood, to her surprise Landon had dropped out of the Quidditch League and taken an open position as Minister of Public Activities at the Ministry of Magic. She loved how often she saw him, she had worried before that he wasnt going to be able to see there child grow up as they had before.

Lily was a beautiful child, she had Landons deep brown eyes, and Hannahs raven colored hair, her demeanor was pleasant and was a joy to be around, even though she slept most of the time.

Harry and Hermione had taken to babysitting Lily Ann quite often, to allow Hannah and Landon more time alone together than they had since Hogwarts.

Hannah and Landon found there relationship had been missing a lot during Landon's long hours before, they discussed their future and the what was hoped to be brought to their family. They would be moving into a new house in Godric's Hollow soon, it was a quaint neighborhood with houses that were a modest size for a new family.

It was a pleasant 4 bedroom house with a decent size backyard for Lily to play in.

Harrison, though had drowned himself in work and had much trouble seeking a way out. He had lost Mandy due to his obsessive work habits. He now spent his nights alone focusing on nothing but what was to be done the next day. Nothing came into his life out of the ordinary.

He didnt trust it. He didnt trust the normalcy that had ensued. He didnt like the peace. He wanted more out of his life than a series of predictable events and anticipated job promotions. He had become an Auror to live a life of daring deeds, leaving at a moments notice for whatever the world needed him for.

He had talked to Mandy on occasion since the break up, he still loved her. But he knew he wasnt an easy man to love. Granted in his Hogwarts days he seemed every bit approachable, he had become more driven to live a life that meant something to the world. In doing that however he had lost the one thing that meant the world to him.

The last few months she had been dating Allen again, he was active in his Auror station, at a lesser job than what Harrison was training for. She was worried for him. A little bit more lately than she had been before. There was something in the back of her words, behind all the murmurs of her fears, there was a greater urgency, something that she hadnt yet disclosed to Harrison

Hamilton had been stressed lately, keeping up with his school work, keeping up with responsibility, keeping up with his duties to his House Team, and worse yet, keeping up with his siblings.

Hallie and Jenson had broken up but apparently that didn't stop Hallie from moving on as fast as her feet could drag her. At the moment she was dating the Gryffindor Seeker, Nathan Bowles. It was nothing more than a fling but Hallie wanted her fun before she began work out in the real world as an Auror (or so she hoped).

Hailey's new found infatuation with Josh, led her to leave Josh wondering more and more about there relationship. He would catch her staring at him, or giving him knowing smiles, ones that she never gave Ashton or any other guy for that matter.

At home the rest of the six Potter children were proving to be a handful. The triplets had began to separate from each other and think more individually which pleased Hermione a great deal, she worried at the effect that being triplets would bring to there overall development... as she was the only one to worry about something like that.

Heidi excelled in almost anything she did and had recently taken very well to gymnastics, a muggle sport, requiring much agility and acrobatics. Harry had agreed to it partially because Heidi wanted to do it, and partially because of the discipline it would create for her future. Also, he couldn't help but smile at the thought of Heidi facing some one like Voldemort and doing flips all around him. Hermione kept a close watch on Heidi during her classes (making sure that she was fitting in well with the muggle heritage that she grew up in.

Haney and Harper were getting less attention now that Lily had been born, and at the moment werent taking very well to it. But soon they would learn it was a small price to pay for the enjoyment the coming years would bring.
