A/N: Thank you to all my reviewers! I have decided to post a chapter only once a week, though. I still want a lot of reviews and the longer I wait, the more I seem to get. Unless the reviews somehow turn up magically within days.

Harry was sitting in potions class. He was reading the ingredients for an Illness potion. The Illness potion was an old remedy for the flu. Harry was just adding bits of toad legs when Snape came over.

"Potter,"said Snape in a disgusted tone, " I do believe the potion is supposed to be green not Pink!" The Slytherins snickered. " Might you check the list if ingredients!" Harry read over the list to find that he was missing plant roots. Snape smirked and cleared Harry`s cauldron. "Start over Potter. And the rest of you Gryffindor will as well seeing as Miss Granger is the only one who can get it right."

" Doesn`t he have a class after this?" whispered Neville.

" That is correct Longbottom," sneered Snape. All the Slytherins laughed and sneered on their way out of the door. Harry grumbled to himself.

" Oh he`s just bitter because we beat his house in the Quidditch game," mumbled Ron. At that moment the third years came in. They all looked amused at the older Gryffindors still there. Harry grumbled some more, and set to work on his potion.

Lisana was sitting in Care of Magical Creatures. She had gone to find Draco at three in the morning. On her way out of the common room, she decided she was acting stupidly. She had no idea were the Slytherin common room was nor the password to it. But Lisana was going to meet Draco after class, and ask him. She had owled him so as not to cause suspicion ,and he replied back saying to meet him out by the lake. Lisana was snapped out of her day dream when Hagrid dismissed class.

She walked along the edge of the lake for a while. Finally, Malfoy found her and pulled her over near the edge of the Forbiden Forest.

" You wanted to see me?" he asked with a joking grin. She had never really notice how nice who could be when he wasn`t being a git. 'Which he is always a git,' she reminded herself.

" Well, yes," she replied apprehensibly. Then she thought about what she was going to tell him. 'I`ve been having these dreams about ashes and roses, Draco, and thought you were a link to it. Tell me, can you help me?,' she thought silently, 'Well now he can just think I`m insane! Oh, what Was I thinking!'

" You can tell me," said Draco sensing her self conflict. Lisana meet his gaze. He was looking at her intently. No one had ever looked at her that way before, like he was really seeing her for who she was. He looked as if he was trying to learn everything about her, and yet, trying to find what she was stressing over. She hated it and she loved it.

" Lisana?" asked an uncertain voice. Draco and Lisana turned to meet Lily. Behind her was James, and standing next to him was Professor Dumbledore. There was no twinkle in his eyes like usual.

"Mom? Dad? " asked Lisana in a confused tone. James was looking very hard at Draco. It was common knowledge that the Potters and the Malfoys didn`t get along. Most people thought it was because of there days at school when they pulled pranks on each other. But the real reason was that everyone in the Order of the Phoenix agreed that Lucius Malfoy was a Death Eater.

" We need to talk," said Lily worriedly. Lisana looked back at Draco and followed her parents up to Dumbledore`s office.

Back up in the office, Dumbledore conjured up three chairs. He then walked out of the room so Lisana and her parents were alone. Lily pulled out a white cloth. She unwrapped it to reveal the black rose that was Lisana`s.

" Lisana," said Lily looking at her. They were sitting across from each other. James was standing by the window.

"This," continued Lily, " Is called a Dark Rose. Death Eaters give it to the newest members of there group. Sometimes they are given to those who they want to become a Death Eater. Lisana, tell us how you got this." She stopped and Lisana stared at her. Lisana suddenly felt very angry with the both of them. 'They are accusing me of becoming a Death Eater? OK,' she thought, 'So they had found a black rose in my room, and caught me talking to a Malfoy. But still, they should know better. I am their daughter! I thought they loved me enough to trust me. I guess I was wrong.' James now took his gaze away from the window and looked at her. She realized she hadn`t answered their question. 'And I won`t,' she thought to herself, 'Just for the accusation. I won`t answer them. See what they think of me now.' Lisana had never been this angry in her whole life. Not even when Draco had hit her.

" Lisana," said James very sternly, " Answer the question." Lisana glared at them both.

" Such trusting parents I have," she said in a calm, but angry voice. Suddenly they seemed to realize why she was upset, and their faces softened.

" Lisana," said Lily softly, " We are not accusing you of anything. We just-"

" What ever," said Lisana interrupting her. She got up and stormed out the door. She passed Dumbledore in the hall. He greeted her, but she said nothing as she passed.

Lisana turned the corner to see Draco. He was walking with his broom in his hand. He grabbed her hand before she could pass him.

" What?" she asked heatedly. Draco looked surprised at her sudden change of mood. Lisana sighed.

" I`m sorry," she said, " I`m just in a bad mood." She didn`t really know why she was apologizing to Draco. He was supposed to be her enemy. But then, he had n`t really been her enemy. Draco was more of Harry`s enemy.

" You know," he said, " The best way to cure a bad mood his flying." She thought about it for a moment. Lisana always did fly when she was upset. He held out his hand, and surprising herself, she took it.

They walked along the empty corridors until they got to the Quidditch pitch. Draco hopped on his broom and stared at her expectantly.

" Well," he said, " Climb on." She hesitated and then climbed on in back of him. Lisana held onto his waste as they soared through the air. She was glad to be flying. The familiar feel of wind rushing through her hair. The smell of trees and green grass hitting her nose. It took her mind off of everything.

A while later Lisana found herself back on the ground laughing with Draco. She had to admit, she had fun. They walked back up to the castle together, and entered through the wooden doors.

" Thanks Draco," Lisana said to him quietly. Draco looked at her with a slight smile.

" Anytime," he replied and headed towards the Slytherin common room. Lisana sighed. She had a great time with someone she barley knew. Lisana decided that she needed to rest, and headed towards the common room.

Lisana gave the password to the fat lady and walked in. Fred was sitting next to George in a deep discussion. He looked up and gave Lisana a smile. She walked over and sat down next to him on the couch.

" I didn`t see you at dinner," he said putting his arm around her.

" I was out flying," she replied kissing him on the check.

" You do realize we have Quidditch practice tonight, right?" he asked her. Lisana rested her head on his shoulder with a deep sigh.

" Yeah," she replied. Lisana had forgotten about practice. She knew it would be a hard one, because this Saturday, they would be playing Helnium school. The team was coming on Thursday. Dumbledore wanted the teams to get acquainted before the match. They would be spending time in there common room and classes. It was part of the "process of connection and unity " as dumbledore had taken to calling it. She could n`t wait for practice to be over with.
