Lisana sat on her bed, crying. In the last two hours, her world felt like it had collapsed. If she thought the fight with her parents about Draco was bad, then it was nothing compared to what she had just discovered. Now, more than ever, she wanted to leave her home, and never come back.

Flashback

Lisana woke up with her shoulder aching. She went down stairs to get something to eat, but Harry stopped her.

" They are having an Order meeting," Harry said to her, " We are not allowed in the kitchen."

" Why are they having a meeting here?" Lisana asked. They never held meetings at other peoples houses. They only held them in top secret places.

Lisana began to feel dizzy and leaned against the wall. She clutched her shoulder, only to feel blood run into her hand. It was n`t a lot of blood, but enough that the bandage needed to be changed.

" I thought mom healed that?" asked Harry perplexed. Lisana could n`t answer. Her mother had healed it, so what was wrong?

"I`m getting mom," Harry said firmly, " Come on" Lisana wanted to protest, but felt to weak to talk. She had n`t spoken to her parents since last night. Harry helped her to stand up straight and walked down the stairs. Lisana sat in a chair, and waited.

"What`s wrong?" Lily asked Lisana, and then she looked at her shoulder. Her expression changed from concern to confusion.

" James," Lily called, " Come here, please." James came out and looked at Lisana, then turned to Lily.

" I thought you healed that with a charm last night?" James asked Lily.

" I did but," Lily paused a moment, " Oh I must have just been to angry to do the charm completely. Sorry." Lily repaired her shoulder, and shooed them back upstairs. Lisana, however, knew that they had to put all the charms back on the kitchen before the meeting could restart. The spells and charms were to keep people from over hearing the meeting.

Quietly, she crept into ths kitchen through the other door. Many people she recognized sat around the kitchen table(The table seemed to have a spell on it to make it bigger). Some stood on the outside. They were talking very loudly, and she found that she did n`t have to be so quiet.

She snuck around to the cupboards that were under the sink, and crawled in them. She had to push some of the items inside around so she could fit, but other than that she was completely comfortable.

" Now, then," said a voice she recognized as Dumbledore`s, " About Lisana. We have the location charm on her, so we will be able to find out if Lucius bothers her again. The Dark Roses, I can not stop her from getting, but I doubt she will become a Death Eater."

" And what about Draco?" asked Remus.

" I don`t think Lisana should be speaking to him. He could be leading her into a trap. We must all keep an eye out for her. She will be weak when it comes to the Death Eaters."

Lisana had enough. They had been tracking her like an animal for the past few weeks. That was how James had found Lucius and her in the alley. They all thought she was turning to the wrong side. They thought Draco was n`t a good person at heart just because of who his father was. Now she was pissed, but she did n`t dare move, and she really hoped they would not check the location charm any time soon.

The meeting ended an hour later. They had spent the majority of the time talking about Lisana, also about her eye color. That she did n`t understand at all. After everyone had left, Lisana ran all the way to her room. She felt too betrayed to even care if the Death Eaters were after her. She felt to sad to realized her parents only wanted to help her. She felt to upset to live. And here she found herself fall onto the bed and cry.

After most of the day was gone, Lisana made up her mind. She did n`t want to stay in the house that night. Her family knew something had upset her, but they all thought it was Malfoy.

Lisana opened her window, and climbed onto her broom. She soared out into the evening sky, and felt a cold sting in her face. The air rushed by , making her black hair fly behind her, and everything seemed forgotten. She never wanted this moment to end. It felt to much like a happiness that she wanted no one but herself to have.

After a while, Lisana landed next to the fence. But this time, she was on the other side. Lisana found her beloved horse, and stared at him. She felt a power rise inside of her, and it seemed to compel her to go to the horse.

" Come, Silverstar," she whispered, " Come to me now." The silver horse reared to the sky. It began to trot towards Lisana.

" I will be your friend," said Lisana, " Only if you let me." The hose was now only a few feet away. It slowed to a walked, stood beside Lisana.

She carefully brushed her fingers across the horse. She felt it`s soft fur, and knew that the horse would let her ride him. Easing herself up, she left her broom on the ground, and sat atop of the horse.

" Walk Silverstar," she said, and the horse did. Soon, they were galloping across the night, and Lisana felt as free as a bird.

Lisana did n`t know how long she rode for. It had been many hours, because the sun began to rise in the direction she was facing. She slowed Silverstar to a walk.

" We are heading east," she said out loud. Silverstar, who had been running all night, did not even seem tired. Only then did Lisana realized how far they had gone. And now she was a little frightened. About half a mile away, there was an enormous manor. And right in front of her, was Draco Malfoy.

" Glad to see you know your directions," he said giving her a strange look. It wasn`t everyday that Lisana appeared on a horse.

" Is that your house?" she asked getting down.

" Well, it`s more like a home that I go to on vacation. Our regular home is much larger."

"Oh," said Lisana. This manor seemed to be the size of ten of her house. Then she remembered Lucius.

" Is your father here?" she asked trying to make it sound casual.

" No," said Draco, " Just my mother and I. Why?"

" Oh, no reason. I just did n`t want to get in trouble for-for trespassing."

" Lisana," said Draco now smiling, " You are a horrible liar." She smiled too.

Silverstar, who had waited for Lisana to climb back up, neighed for her attention. She looked at the horse, and back at Draco.

" I better be going," she said sadly. She really did not want to go home. Lisana knew her parents would be upset with her for leaving. She also knew they could use the tracking charm, and could find her. They would n`t want her to become a Death Eater over night. Lisana felt angry tears come to her eyes, but she didn`t want to cry in front of Draco.

" Are you OK?" Draco asked concerned. Lisana could n`t stop the tears that fell from her eyes. She looked away from Draco, ashamed. But Draco was understanding. He pulled her close to him, and she cried on his shoulder. They sat on the ground together, and Draco wrapped his cloak around her. After a few minutes, Lisana began to drift off to sleep, with Draco still holding her.

Draco looked at the sleeping figure in his arms. He did n`t understand why Lisana had begun crying, but all he wanted to do was make her stop. All she had on was white shirt, and muggle jeans. So he decided to wrap his cloak around her. Her skin was ice cold, but she had n`t seemed to notice. He wondered if he should bring her inside. The ground was cold and still had snow on it. He could tell she had n`t slept in a while. Sighing, he picked her up and carried her back to the manor. Silverstar followed after him.

Lisana awoke to the smell of fresh flowers. She noticed that she was in an unfamiliar place. The couch she was on was a soft, velvet green. The carpet was silver and the high walls were too. The curtains were also a velvet green. The marble fireplace in front of her was lit. Off to her left, Draco sat looking like he was thinking.

" Draco?" Lisana asked quietly sitting up. He looked at her and smiled a little.

" Your awake. Good."

" Is this your manor?" Lisana asked. The one room she was in, was enormous. Draco walked over and sat down next to her on the couch.

" Why don`t you use floo powder to make your parents believe your home. Then you can come back here." Lisana nodded. She did n`t want her parents to use the location charm, and have them find her miles away from home, and with Draco. That would only make matters worse. She grabbed some floo powder and went home. She told Draco she would be back later, and thanked him for everything.

Her parents were in the kitchen with Harry. Catelin was also there. They were all eating lunch. She was surprised that her parents had n`t noticed she was gone.

" Hungry?" James asked her. He smiled at her, but Lisana did n`t return it. She sat down in the chair, and looked at her parents.

" How could you?" she asked finally. Everyone looked at her.

" I trusted all of you, and you treat me like some kind of animal?" Lisana`s voice was getting louder by the minute.

" What are you talking about?" asked Harry.

" Don`t think that I would n`t find out what the Order was doing. Don`t think for one minute that I would n`t notice a Location charm. Or how Draco might be 'dangerous' just because of his father. And Harry, you told them about Draco hitting me. I suppose I`m just some kind of time bomb to all of you. Like I`m really going to become some kind of monstrous creature who kills people for the fun of it? DO I SEEM LIKE THAT KIND OF PERSON TO YOU? Do I seem like a Death Eater?"

Everyone looked around the table, too stunned to speak. James sighed and put his head in his hands.

" Take the spell off," Lisana said, " Now. I don`t want it on any more." James and Lily shared a look, and complied.

Lisana then ran upstairs and packed up all her Hogwarts things. She would come back in a day or two to get them, but the rest of vacation, she would be at Draco`s. She walked downstairs to the fireplace, and left.

Draco had a plate of sandwiches on the table when Lisana arrived. He had given her the name of the kitchen fireplace so she would n`t end up somewhere else.

" Hi," she said still a little upset. She sat down and he handed her a sandwich. Gratefully, she took it and ate.

Draco watched her for a while. " So," he asked, " Why were you so upset?"

" Oh, it`s kind of a long story, and I really don`t feel up to talking about it right now." The real reason she did n`t want to tell him was because most of it had to do with him and his father. The rest of the day, Draco showed Lisana around the manor. Lisana had never seen anything so big in her life.

In the evening, Lisana and Draco practiced for Quidditch. They played well into the night. Finally, they landed there brooms(Lisana had borrowed Draco`s because hers was still by the fence) on a balcony and sat in a chair.

Lisana rested her head on Draco shoulder, and he wrapped his arm around her. Lisana closed her eyes and let the wind rush over her face. For a while, they sat in silence, staring up at the stars. Finally, they fell asleep.
