(Malfoy)
'Well that was a lot easier than I thought it would have been appears to me that Halley likes Ron a little better than I thought she would. Well I for one think that she just leave it alone we should just cast her to darkness make sure she is in complete misery. Pansy was so unbelievably jealous that Malfoy couldn't help but laugh. 'Hmm you just don't get it do you Pansy? If I was to be her future husband that would help not just my father but I myself. Her father is high in the ministry which would help my father get higher in the ministry and then when we wed there would be a lot of money coming to Halley and me. Another devilish grin from Malfoy. Pansy had a mixed expression of hatred and disappointment. Although Draco felt good about his accomplishment deep down in his small heart he felt bad for hurting Halley in such a way. But he knew if he hadn't followed out his father's orders that there would surely be severe punishment. He could still hear her crying from the girl's dorm. 'Augh I wish she would just shut up.' Pansy snapped. Malfoy stayed silent. Staring at the patterned carpet deep in thought.

Ron staggered back to the Gryffindor common room he didn't show Halley but before Crabbe and Goyle actually got to the Slytherin common room they had punched his right leg to make him weak and easy to drag to the their sinister destination. Ron didn't want to but he did he lifted his robes only to find a bloody gash the bone was broken. But he did not change is course to the hospital wing he continued on to the common room. As he went he prayed that he wouldn't meet anyone on the way… but he did…Halley stood at the other end of the hall at the bottom of the stairs that led to the fat lady's portrait. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. She looked up horror struck at the sight of Ron's leg. She jumped up and ran to him she took is left arm and put it around her neck. Tears streamed down her face. 'Oh this is my entire fault! I'm sorry I didn't want to have to say that but he would have hurt you more! I COULD HAVE TAKEN IT! Ron snapped Halley looked astonished she had never heard Ron become angered in such a way. They walked to the rest of the way to the common room in silence. The odd grunt and groan from Ron as they tried getting up the stairs. They finally got inside and found only Harry and Hermoine sitting in the common room. Hermoine was as usual reading in the big red chairs in front of the fire. Harry was reading 'A seeker's guide to getting better eyesight'. Hermoine looked up from her book at the sound of someone entering the common room. Horror came upon her face as well. She rushed over and helped Halley the set Ron down on the couch. And before anyone said anything Hermoine grabbed Halley's robes and forced her out of the common room and out to the front of the portrait. 'What the in the BLOODY HELL HAPPENED?! It. it was Malfoy he sent Crabbe and Goyle to get Ron as to sort of bribe me into saying that I would tell my father that I prefer him over Ron(the tears came again) I swear I didn't mean for this to happen I would never want this kind of pain to come to Ron! Other times Halley I would have understood… but this is getting ridiculous you really need to tell your father to decide!' Hermoine turned and ran up the stairs to tend to Ron and Halley was left to live with her guilt. She knew what she had to do… set them all straight so she went to the owlery and wrote a letter to her father:
Dear Father,
I am pleased to say that I have made my decision. I want you to decide. I will be sending you another letter please totally ignore it.
The second letter told Halley's father that she wanted him to pick Malfoy but at the end of course putting. P.S remember my first letter. She waited a half an hour before sending the second letter. And once she was done went back to the common room only to find id completely deserted. Taking advantage of this she went straight to the Girl's door she had just reached the handle when… 'Trying to avoid me now are we?' All of Halley's warmth had left her, her blood ran cold. She slowly turned praying that it wasn't the voice she thought it was. Fate was not on her side. Malfoy. 'Of course not.' She replied hastily. 'Well then in that case you wouldn't sitting down right here beside me.' Halley hesitated but walked over and sat down. Malfoy put his arm around her. 'Can't you just imagine us together when we're older then once we are done school getting married. Halley felt as though she was going to puke. Then she realized she never loved Malfoy only liked him a lot but then at the same time she didn't know.
