"Christ." She moaned into her pillow. She lay there for a couple seconds thinking she had to get ready for school then she remembered that it was Saturday.

"Ash or you ok?" Hermione asked.

"No."

"What's wrong?"

"I just have a head ache."

"Well I'll see you when you come down stairs."

"I am never going to get back to sleep." So she got up got dressed, didn't bother to brush her hair and went into the common room. She sat down beside Harry on the couch and leaned on him.

"Hey how ya doing sun shine."

"Don't ask." She said closing her eyes and bringing in the scent of Harry.

"What's up Ash?" Ron asked.

"I have a headache."

"Do you want to go up to the hospital wing?"

"Nah. I'm fine."

"You sure."

"Yeah."

"Harry?" asked Ash.

"Ya?"

"Thanks for yesterday." Then they kissed but it was interrupted by a loud grumble from Ron's stomach.

"Sorry mate." He said to Harry, "I'm just really hungry."

"Me too. Lets go get some breakfast."

Once they sat down Ash looked toward the Sytherin table. She saw Draco sitting alone he looked sad. For a moment she wanted to go and comfort him but the a voice in her head said,

'He tried to curse you! Ya but look at him. Ya well he probably upset that Harry came right in time. But what if I don't know the whole story?' She argued with her self for a couple more seconds before Hermione asked,

"Are you okay Ash?"

"Hermione, something happened yesterday."

"What happened?"

"Well Draco tried to curse me but I feel like I don't know the entire story. And he looks so sad but he did try to curse me. What do I do?"

"Umm… just avoid him for awhile and try to talk to him."

"I'll take you're advice on this on Hermione." After that they went out onto the grounds and sat down under their favorite tree.

"So Ash do you play quittich?"

"Uhh what?" after that the got into this huge discussion about quittich. After about an hour of talking they went back inside to finish some of their homework. Hermione and Ash had already finished all of theirs so they helped Ron and Harry.

"Uhh Harry you have Saturn in the wrong place its supposed to go here." Ash pointed to a spot on Harry's paper. The next day was the same routine until Monday came. Ash went to Transfiguration with Harry then after that potions. To in Snape's displeasure Ash was getting top marks in.

Then came two hours of useless divination.

"Jesse this is the worst class ever." Said Ash whispered. After that they went to lunch went to the rest of their classes and went down to dinner.

"So Harry how are you and Ash doing?" Ron asked.

"Um… pretty good I guess."

"Have you made a move?"

"In two days I will."

"At the ball you mean."

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"I have it all planed out."

"Hey Ron!" Hermione called.

"Yeah?"

"Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure." So they got up and left, and after a while so did Harry.

"So Ash are you excited about the ball." Asked Lavender.
"Ya."

"So are you going with anybody?"

"Yep with Harry."

"I went with him for the Yule Ball he danced with me twice and then I went to go dance with somebody else. But that maybe because he really wanted to go with Cho."

"Hmm."

"I'm tired I think I'm going to go to bed." she said then got up and left.

"Shoot!" she yelled when the staircase she stepped on to changed directions. So she went down a path of winding corridors and saw another staircase. Her curiosity catching up with her she stepped on to and walked up it.

'Where am I going?'

She went down another set of corridors until she saw something that made her catch her breath.

"Harry?" She said aloud. The raven-haired green-eyed boy turned around. The scene she had just witnessed momentarily stunned her. Harry was kissing no, sucking the lips off of Cho. Ash began to walk away in the direction she just walked. Until she felt on her shoulder she turned around to see Harry looking at her. She could tell that she had tears in her eyes now. She turned around and now started running down the staircase and then the corridor.

"Ash!" she ran tears blinding her as she ran.

Draco Malfoy was walking toward his common room when he saw Pansy. Then instantly he turned around and began to walk quickly toward the doors that lead onto the grounds. He walked for about three minutes before he heard something he turned around. His eyes searched the blank space in front of him before smack. Something hard ran into him. He and who ever knocked into him fell onto the cold hard stone.

"Sorry." Said Ash she got up still crying and went on her way. Draco's brain took a minute to register what had just happened, since he was the one that hit the ground head first, but then he realized who it was and that that someone was crying.

"Ash wait!" he called. At first she thought it was Harry. But didn't have that voice she turned around. She saw it was Draco he came over and embraced her. First she tensed but the she relaxed, they sat down in a corner.

"Ash are you ok?" he said in a worried tone. She shook her head.

"No. He was kissing her."

"Who was kissing who?"

"Ash and, and Harry." Draco scowled, he thought of just going up to kill him right know but Ash needed him so he thought against it.

"Shh, Shh its ok Ash."

"No one loves me." She wailed into his chest.

"Yes someone does love you Ash." She kept crying her body heaving. She finally stopped.

"You alright now Ash?"

"Yeah now I am."

"Ash I think you should get to bed its really late."

"I don't want to go up there."

"Well it's the only place you can sleep."

"I know." She said sadly "He's going to be up their waiting for me." He didn't speak. Finally she got up, and started to walk towards the common room Draco accompanying her.

"See you tomorrow Ash." Draco said as Ash said the password to the portrait hole.

"Bye." She said then walked through. She saw Harry.
