"Here Is what you are to do son. Get close to the girl. Then in December take her to the Forbidden Forest. We will be waiting there."
"What are you going to do to her?" Draco asked.
"Don't worry just do it she wont be hurt at all." And with a pop he left.
Three months had passed without a hitch Draco had gotten close to Ash. She had become depressed she didn't eat much so she had become very skinny. Harry and Draco both didn't like it no one did. She didn't talk much and she didn't smile at all. Her nightmares about Voldemort became frequent.
"Ash wake up its Christmas." Ash looked down at the edge of her bed and for the first time in weeks she smiled.
Prt 15: "Open mine first." Said Hermione. It was a leather bound book that had Hogwarts a History written on the spine.
She had opened about five more before she came to Draco's she smiled as she opened it. She gasped it was a silver necklace that had an emerald phoenix dangling from it.
"WOW!" said Hermione as she looked at the necklace.
"Who's it from?"
"Draco." Ash said putting the necklace on.
"He actually gives people things." Ash looked at Hermione.
"Sorry." She said.
"Oh look at what Ron gave me." Said Hermione holding up a gold bracelet.
"That's really pretty Hermione." Ash picked up a present. 'I wonder who this is from.' Ash thought she opened it. It was a gold rose.
"Oh its so pretty." She saw a piece of paper and opened it. It had just seven words on it. It said, Sorry can you ever forgive me? Harry.
"Wow who gave you that?" Hermione asked wide eyed.
"Harry did."
"What does that say?" Hermione asked.
"He's asking me to forgive him."
"Are you?" she asked.
"Am I what?"
"Are you going to forgive him?"
"Lets see he kisses Cho he tells the whole entire school my secret. I guess I'll have to I mean look at this thing."
She held up the rose.
"Yeah any other gifts?"
"Nope."
"Lets go thank the boys." Harry and Ron were still opening presents when the girls came in. Hermione sat down on Ron's bed kissed him on the cheek and looked at what he had gotten. Ron looked over at the other girl. She was standing in a corner looking at Harry unwrapping his last present.
"Wow Ron thanks." He said as he looked at his new broom stuff. Ron didn't think Harry knew that Ash was in the room. 'well ,' he thought 'she is standing in the shadows.' He looked at Ash again. She looked strangely eerie. Since she hadn't eaten much in a while she looked very sick.
He heard a voice that brought him back to reality.
"Ash do you want to come sit down? Ash?" Ron looked around so did Harry.
"Did you see her go?"
