CHAPTER 11

Tina followed Draco into the boy's dormitory. Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle had already gone to transfiguration.

"What's wrong, Draco?" She asked, sitting on his bed with one leg underneath her.

"What the hell do you think is wrong?" Draco shouted, "It's no secret, T, I know that you like him."

Tina was too scared to say anything. She had known him all of her life, and, yet, it felt like she barely even did know him.

"Well?" Draco shouted again.

"I- I-"

"You know what! You are not going to see him anymore! Do you have any idea what this could do to us!"

"You're not my father!" Tina finally found her voice, "You can't tell me what to do!"

"Ok, then if I see you with him, you'll pay!"

Tina stood up and walked towards the door, turning around she said, "You know what? You are just like him, you are just like your father!"

She left. Draco sat on his bed and put his face in his hands. Is it really true? Am I really turning into...him? he thought. He lay back down onto his bed and into a dreamless sleep.
-

"Hello, class, my name is Professor Peior. I am from Germany, and I will be your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher! Since this position was very rushed, I didn't have much time to make up a lesson plan, not can anyone please tell me where you left of after Professor Umbridge?" The skinny witch that was standing in front of the class said. She had Dark Red hair and brown eyes, she wore a simple dress cloaked with a giant black cloak.

Hermione raised her hand.oh, no, here we go again! thought Harry. Just then, there was a loud tap on the window. All of the heads turned. Harry, who was closest to the window got up and let a gray barn owl in. It hopped over to Hermione who took the letter off of it's leg and let it hop off. She stuck the letter into her pocket and raised her hand again.

"Excuse me professor, we last left off on"
-

Tina walked into Transfiguration class, late.

"Excuse me, Ms. Paige, but, where have you been, and where is your brother?"

"I had to go to the owlery, I'm sorry, and Draco decided to skip, I think you should give his a detention." Tina smiled.

"Yes, he shall have one, and so shall you, having to send a letter is no reason to be late!" Tina sulked to her seat next to Pansy.
-
After DA, Hermione opened the letter,

Dear Hermione,

Sorry about everything, I needed to keep up the pretence. I was hoping that you could help me with our Potions homework, I'm really confused. Could you meet me under the big oak tree after lunch? Thanks a bunch.

-Tina

P.S. Also, I have to talk to Harry about something, could you bring him along? Thanks

Hermione turned the parchment over and wrote on the back before running down to the owlery and sending the letter. She met up with Ron and Harry after.

"I guess we have plans for after lunch"
-
After lunch, Hermione, Ron, and Harry set off for the big oak tree. The breeze was decent, given the season. When they got to the oak tree, there was a picnic table sitting in the shade. Tina was perched on top.

"Where'd this come from?" Harry asked.

"I guess Dumbledork decided to put it in" Tina said. Harry sighed.

"Well, what do you need help with?" Hermione asked, pulling out her potions book.

"Um, the part about the times, what does this equation mean?" Tina asked, pulling out her book also. While Hermione explained the times to Tina, Harry and Ron engulfed themselves in a nasty game of wizards chess.

"Don't you think it would be good for you two to learn this, also?" Hermione asked the.

"No, we'll just copy from you" Ron said.

"Yeah, good luck with that"

After Hermione had explained everything to Tina, Tina took Harry aside for a second.

"Listen, Harry," She started, "I- OH SHIT!"

Harry twisted around to where she was looking, Malfoy was plodding his way towards them, truly enraged.

"I- I have to go, Harry" She ran off to block Malfoy from pounding Harry up.

"Draco!"

"Get out of my damn way, Tina!"

"No!" Draco looked at her, her eyes were like, no, there couldn't possibly be... fire! He dragged her behind a tree.

"What the hell do you think that you're doing! I warned you, do you want me to hurt you!"

"You can't hurt me" She said.

"You- no, I mean, You, cannot possibly think that you are stronger than me!"

"I am!"

"wait, you think you're stronger than me!"

"That's what I said, can you be so stupid!" He smacked her. When he saw her eyes (wow, lots of expression through eyes, huh?) pain, real pain! This caused him to hug her.

"I'm so sorry" He whispered.

"Get off of me!" He pulled back. He would never expect what happened next. She blasted him with fire, out of her finger tips. She wasn't strong enough to do anything but singe his shirt, but it was enough.

"It's you!" He screamed, "You're the one that all of the death eaters are talking about! The Fire breather!"

"I would hardly call it fire breathing!" She said as she pulled out her wand.

Harry, Ron and Hermione were starting to walk back to the castle when they saw a big red flash come from behind a tree.

They quickly ran over to it to find Draco Malfoy on the ground and Tina running towards the castle. Harry went after Tina and Hermione and Ron stayed with Malfoy.

"Is he dead?" Ron asked.

"No, only stunned"

"Oh, bummer"
-
Harry followed Tina into the Slytherin common room which was, thankfully, empty. She ran up the staired towards the girls dormitory. When Harry tried to follow, the stairs turned into a slide. He pulled off his shoes and slowely climbed up.

When he got there, Tina was pulling clothes out of her closet and stuffing them into her suitcase.

"What are you doing?" Harry asked. Startled, Tina whipped around.

"How'd you get up here?" Harry pointed to his feet, "oh, whatever" She continued to pack.

"where do you expect to go?" Tina didn't turn around.

"I dunno, why do you care?"

"I just do"

"well,I can't stay here, not after what I did"

"Hermione's probably reviving him and putting a memory spell on him"

"It doesn't matter. The death eaters are all looking for me. If he find's out again, we're all gonna be dead"

"And leaving helps how?"

"I can get away from him"

"but he can still summon you" She stopped packing.

"I hadn't thought of that"

"Obviously"

Harry sat down on her bed and she sat next to him.

"It's just too much for me, I'm only sixteen, of course, I shouldn't be talking, you're the one who has had to fight him"

"You're safe here, don't worry"

Tina let out a small laugh.

"What?" Harry asked. He put his arm around her shoulder.

"do you know why Draco hates you?"

"Cause his parents are death eaters?"

"Theres that, and..." She giggled again.

"What!" Harry asked, exasperated.

"He always hated you because... he... well..." She giggled again.

"Come on!"

"promise not to tell, ok?"

"ok"

"He likes Hermione!"

"what?"

"He always thought that you would start going out with Hermione, now he'll be after Ron!"

"really?"

"yeah"

"no kidding?"

"YES! But, do not tell!"

"ok" They started laughing and fell back on her bed.

"so, Tina, go to hogsmead with me this weekend?"

Tina stopped laughing.

"He could summon me"

"I'll protect you! Cause, I AM SUPER HARRY!" He said, puffing out his chest.

Tina laughed again, "ok"
