A/N: School is such a pain. Anyway, I`m only getting a few reviews, which is the only why I continue writing this. But it would be more encouraging if I knew more people were reading this.

James was sitting in Dumbledore`s office along with Lily and Catelin. Dumbledore sat behind his desk. The Potter`s had asked Catelin to talk to Lisana to see if she could get any information about Draco Malfoy and his Death Eater proposal. But James did not expect this.

" She said something about Harry putting an end to Draco," Catelin continued.

" But then," Catelin paused a minute. It was obvious that she didn`t want to say what she was going to.

" Lisana got startled quite suddenly. She got off the tree, and started staring into the forest. I jumped down, too, of course. But when I looked into her eyes... they looked like flames of silver. It was scary. I have never seen anything like it. She told me we had to leave immediately." Everyone stayed silent for a minute. James could n`t believe what he was hearing.

" I think," began Dumbledore, " That there is more about Lisana then she even knows. For now, though, we should ask Harry what happened. He might know something."

" Well, their February break is coming up soon," said Lily, " We could talk to them both." [A/N: Where I live, we have a break in February. So for the convince of this story, they`ll have one, too.]

Harry was walking out of class with Ron and Hermione.

" Finally!" said Ron, " It`s break time. All those practices we have been having for Quidditch have tired me out. I can`t wait to get home!"

"Same here," said Harry, " Did you hear Drumstrang is playing Feoraxon. Who ever loses, we play at there school."

" When do we play the winner?" asked Ron.

" When we beet the next team, we will play for first place."

" I wish I could go with you," said Hermione.

" But you hate Quidditch," said Harry smiling.

" Oh I know, but I still want Gryffindor to win. And I want to be able to cheer you guys on," she paused at the girls stair case to the dormitory, " Well, I`m off to pack. See you."

" We better do the same," said Harry to Ron. They went up to their dorms and began packing. So they packed, and met all their friends downstairs.

Out they headed, and boarded the carriages to take them to Hogsmeade.. Getting off the carriages, they got a compartment on the Hogwarts express. Lisana sat with her friends, and Harry with his. At the end of the day, they were at King Cross station.

Harry and Lisana met their parents, and headed home.

Lisana woke up, and looked at her clock. The hands read 6:30 A.M, Normally, Lisana would still be sleeping, but she had been bored. So, getting dress, she grabbed her Firebolt and headed out the door. Before she left, she put the blue-flamed orb into her pocket. Since she had first started carrying the orb, she had n`t stopped. Not knowing why, she felt it gave her a sense of protection.

The morning air was very cool against her face, but she didn`t mind. It had snowed during the night, and the ground was covered in a white blanket of sparkles. Lisana loved the cold and snow.

Lisana flew around Godricks Hallow, making sure not to be seen by any neighboring muggles. She flew outside of town, and soared over the farm fields, taking in everything she saw. She had n`t felt this happy in a while.

Lisana landed her broom by an old fence. She was about seven miles from home, and that was as far as her parents allowed her to go. Looking beyond the fence, she saw wild horses running in the fields. These were the same horses that she had come to watch since she was five years old. She had always loved them since her father had shown them to her as a child. Now, she came at lest once every vacation when she could spare the time.

Lisana loved horses even though she only saw them in muggle areas. The muggles liked to climb onto the creatures back, and ride them like a broom. She had always wanted to do the same. Especially Silverstar. Silverstar was Lisana`s favorite out of all the horses. She named him Silverstar because the horse was a white and gray color, making him look silver. However, these horses were wild, and as the muggles said " best to keep them that way. They like the freedom". And she could n`t agree more. She sat in the snow, and rested her arms and head on the lower part of the fence. The wind blew around her, and the horses danced across the meadows....

Lisana was moving fast and free. She looked down to see herself riding Silverstar. He carried her way off into the fields. She heard someone call her name, but did not look back. She was having too much fun.

" Harry," said Lily, " Come in here, please." Harry walked into the kitchen, yawning after the good-night sleep. He was surprised to see Remus, Sirius, and Catelin there, too. He sat down and looked at them all.

" Um, am I in trouble?" he asked curiously.

" No," said James, " We just wanted to ask you something."Harry looked at them, and waited for them to ask.

" After the Quidditch game two weeks ago," said his Aunt Catelin, " Lisana mentioned to me about a certain incident involving Draco Malfoy. She also mentioned you were involved in it with Fred Weasley.

' Was Lisana trying to get him in trouble for hitting Malfoy?' Harry asked himself, ' She wasn`t angry with him last time he checked.'

" If your mad because I hit Malfoy, I`m sorry- it`s just he that hit Lisana, and I didn`t really think-"

" He hit her!" shrieked Lily.

" I thought you said Lisana told you," began Harry.

" No," said Sirius, " She said she Mentioned it."

Harry slapped a hand to his forehead. 'Great,' he thought, 'Lisana will kill me now. I`ve gone and told mom and dad about Malfoy which I`m sure she didn`t want me to.'

" Start explaining Harry," said James crossly. And Harry knew he had no choice.

James was flying on his broom through the country side. He was looking for Lisana who had been out a while. He knew she wasn`t in danger of anything except a cold, and also knew without the location mirror or charm where she was. Sure enough, he found her asleep next to the fence. He bent down, and gently shook her awake.

" Lisana?" James asked gently. She sat up, and looked at him. Then she looked towards the fields. Her eyes went out to a certain horse James knew she loved.

" It`s time to go," he said to her. She nodded her head, but did not take her eyes away from the horse.

"Come here Silverstar," James heard Lisana whisper.

" Lis," said James trying to get her attention, "Those are wild horses, they won`t go to anyone-" But he was startled to see Lisana`s once blue eyes, now full of a deep silver. Then something else startled him. The horse she had called, was running to her. It stopped just in front of the fence. Lisana reached out and pet him on the nose.

After a few minutes, the silver eyes became blue again and the horse trotted off. James looked at Lisana, shocked.

" Did you see that!" she squealed suddenly, " He let me pet him!"

" Yea, I saw," said James with no enthusiasm, " Come, it`s time to leave." He grabbed her hand and began to drag her back, not really noticing her resistance.

" I want to stay and pet him," Lisana pouted like a child. James turned to look at her.

" Lisana, what time did you come out here?"

" Around seven," she said, "Why?"

" Do you have any idea what time it is?" James asked, " It`s nine o`clock. You need to come back to the house."

"But-

" Now!" he said his temper growing. James wasn`t really angry, just worried. Lisana walked over to her broom, and got on it. She took off with more force than usual. James flew beside her without a word.

Later that night, he told Remus, Sirius, Catelin, and Lily what had happen between Lisana and the horse.

*****

" Now listen," said Lily talking to Harry and Lisana, " Your father and I have some items we must pick up. Here are some sickles. Stay Diagon Alley , understand?" Lisana and Harry nodded and left. It was the third day of vacation, and Lisana`s parents were meeting a few friends and Order members in Diagon Alley. They had decided to bring them along.

" Want to go get Quidditch supplies?" Harry asked Lisana.

" No," said Lisana shaking her head, " I need to get Wicked some cat food." Harry shrugged his shoulders, and took off in a different direction. Lisana walked along the ally, looking into all the different shops.

"Well, well," said a sneering voice from behind her, " What a small world." Lisana turned

to see Draco, smirking at her.

" I guess so," she said laughing a bit, " What are you doing here?"

" Father has...business to take care of," he said, " And you?"

" My parents have business too," said Lisana. She looked ahead to the Leaky Cauldron. " Want to get something to drink?" she asked walking towards the Inn. He shrugged his shoulders and followed.

Inside, Lisana and Draco both ordered two butter beers. They sat down at a small table, and began to talk.

" So," said Draco, " There isn`t anyone here who would want to duel with me for talking to you is there? I mean besides your parents. Like your boyfriend or other friends?"

" Ah, still sore about Fred punching you I see?" Lisana smirked.

" Hey, it was two against one," Draco argued. Lisana was quiet for a minute.

" Why did you hit me? And why did you ask me to become what you are if you hate it?" she blurted out before she could stop herself. Draco stared at her for a while. He didn`t know how to answer her question.

Lisana sighed. " Forget," she said shaking her head, " I don`t want to know why."

" Are you still angry with me for it?" Draco asked. This time, it was Lisana who didn`t answer.

" Why don`t we go for a walk," Draco suggested. Lisana agreed and they got up.

Draco and Lisana walked around Diagon Alley. They looked at things in shops and bought some candy. They also discussed Quidditch, and who was the best team. Draco told Lisana a few jokes, and Lisana told draco some childhood stories. Like when she snuck out to the party. Outside of Flourish and Blotts, a man approached them.

" There you are Draco," he said. The man looked much like Draco. He had the blonde hair, and eyes. His voice was just as sneering, and he was very tall.

" And who might this be?" he asked in a pleasant voice that Lisana could tell was fake.

" Lisana Potter," Lisana said carefully. She really didn`t like this man, even though she didn`t know him. Lisana didn`t understand the bad feeling she got standing in front of him.

" Ah, yes a Potter," he said smirking. Then he held out his hand, " I am Lucius Malfoy, Draco`s father." Lisana cautiously took his hand and shook is every so slightly.

" Draco," said Lucius turning to his son, " Why don`t you run along. I would like to have a private word with Lisana." Draco`s eyes widen and he looked at Lisana. She nodded her head to ensure him that she was ok with the idea, even though she truly wasn`t. Reluctantly, Draco departed down the Alley.

" Lets take a walk, shall we?" Lucius smiled at her. It was a question, but a statement. He put aan arm around her shoulders and steered her to an alley next to the book shop. The alley was very dark, and no one else was in it. Lucius turned to face her, but his grip on her shoulder tightened.

" Potter," he said, " What is it that you want most in the world?" Lisana thought a moment.

" I...I don`t know, sir," she said. He bent his face down to meet hers, and they became only inches apart. She decided it was best if she looked him in the eye, and showed him that she wasn`t afraid, even though she was.

" Surely there must be something? Wealth? Freedom? Respect? A chance to be...powerful?" Now Lisana was terrified. She understood what he was asking her. Lucius knew that Lisana wanted to be respect, and wanted power along with freedom. Who didn`t? But she did not want to become a Death Eater to have to achieve it. Her silence seemed to anger the older Malfoy. His grip on her shoulders seemed to tighten even more. It felt like he was trying to crush her. She could take on Draco any day, but Lucius was more powerful and stronger than her. She also didn`t have a wand.

" Well?" he asked very harshly, " Speak up girl or I`ll-

" You will do nothing,"came an angered voice from behind him. Lucius turned to see James and Remus at his backside.

' Now I`m in trouble,' Lisana thought, ' Dad won`t be pleased about this at all.' James was standing with his wand in his hand, tapping it against the palm of his other hand. Lucius seemed to take a hint that if he didn`t leave, James would curse him. Behind him, Remus stared at Lisana, who was wincing in pain. Lucius still had a crushing grip on her shoulder. He let go, and with one last sneer at all of them, walked out of the alley.

James stuffed his wand back into his robes. He looked at Lisana with an unreadable expression.

" Remus," he said, " I`m going to go find Lily and Harry. Will you please stay with her?"

" What?" Lisana asked, " I`m fine, I don`t need to be watched. I have to get-"

James looked sharply at her. " You will stay with Remus," he said in a stricken tone. And without another word, he walked away. Lisana sighed, and looked to see Remus watching her.

" What?" she asked saying it rather meaner than intended.

" Are you alright?" he asked kindly.

" I think so," she said. They walked out behind the alley. Lisana met up with her family, and they all went home.
