Skarlett ran out to the same seat she shared with Neville and Luna, and it wasn't long before Hermione and Ron came out from inside.

Skarlett got up when they sat down and started to take her heels off. She pulled her dress up and started walking towards the waters edge. She dipped her toe in and pressed her other foot fully in. She walked out to the middle of the lake and looked up at the moon.

'Sirius, why did you leave us,' She muttered

'I need you more than I ever have done before.. Guide me please.. Mother told me about you, and your relation to me.. Please help me.. Give me some sign..'

'Please! Anything.. Now I know your meaning you mean so much more to me..'

'Skarlett what are you doing?'

'Nothing..' She shivered still fixated on the moon.

'Please.. father.. please..' She sobbed, falling down to knee level so the water rose just under her chin.

'Skarlett get out of the water it would be freezing!' Hermione called, but Skarlett didn't answer.

'Take me.. please..' She whispered while shivering in the water. It took ages before she was starting to feel light headed. It was not her desire to leave like this, but it was so unkind to her. For 16 years she did not know her father, correction, she knew him but never knew him or that he was her father.. Skarlett wiped her eyes and took a breath of air and went under the water. She was not going to kill herself, just hopefully swim away far enough to get out of this place. Her head was killing her, the pain from the cold water thumped in her head and made her dizzy, she exhaled some air. She could hear shouts from out of the water and the pattering from someone's feet.

Why did it have to be like this.. She exhaled more and swam more. Her arms were tiring and her legs were cold. Her teeth were chattering. She couldn't swim no more, she must sleep..

She saw a bright light.. She was walking down towards it. Her father was walking towards her.

'Skarlett, your time isn't up..'

'I can't stay..'

'Someone wants you, they are going to get you..'

Sirius pointed and she turned around. It was the weirdest thing, she saw her self floating on the water, and Someone swimming out to get her. Shine from the moon shone off his hair as he dragged Skarlett from the lake.

'Father, I don't want to leave' Skarlett murmured, watching herself getting CPR.

'You must, I shall see you soon, but when it is right.'

'I love you Dad,'

A sharp breath impacted in a wind and Skarlett saw herself moving backwards from her Dad. She yelled but he turned and walked back. She yelled, and the light was gone.

She coughed up water and spat it out beside her. She took a breath of air, refreshing, she felt so alive. She stared into her saviour's blue grey eyes.

Draco lifted her body up and she wrapped her arms around him. She was so exhausted, she fell asleep on him. He took her up into the Slytherin Common Room and into his bedroom. He brushed her lips with his own and took her from her wet clothes. He dressed her with his own and wrapped her in the blanket on his bed.

He watched her peacefully rest in his bed. He loved her so much. He clambered onto the bed and sat next to her. He patted her hair down and slid beside her into his bed.

'Draco..'

'Mmm, I thought you were asleep..'

'I love you,' Skarlett said wrapping her arms around Draco and falling asleep.

Draco kissed her on the head, and watched her sleep before falling himself.
