Days went by in a blur, as homework pilled higher and classes seemed to never end. Draco had looked everywhere for the girl that now haunted his dreams, but he never saw her, and when he asked Blaize, Crabbe and Goyle about her, they just replied with a blank look; some help they were.

It wasn't until one day when Draco was heading back to the common room that he spotted Harry coming in the opposite direction by himself, seeming to be deep in thought. Glancing around quickly to make sure they were indeed alone in the hallway, Draco pulled out his wand and put the leg locker curse on him. Harry instantly lost his balance and fell backwards, hitting the ground with a hard thud.

Smirking Draco walked up to him, " Well if it isn't the Potter-boy-wonder" he said in his usual drawl

"Malfoy!" Harry spat back.

Taking a seat against the opposite wall he leaned back and stared at Harry, " You know Potter, I've been meaning to talk to you about something."

"Look Malfoy I know what this is about, and I ain't talkin."

" Well that causes a problem now doesn't it, seeing as I have a wand and you don't."

It was true, as Harry looked down he could see his wand just out of arms reach, he tried to scoot a little to get closer to it but Malfoy walked over and picked it up, talking in a mock polite business like tone,

"Now Potter, I don't exactly remember what happened that day in the bathroom, I know we had a dual and you came out on top, and I assure you I will get back at you for that. But right now, what I'm more curious to know is who that girl was. I'm sure you know to which girl I'm talking about.."

Yah, Harry knew exactly which girl Malfoy was referring to, he couldn't get her face out of his head either. The way she seemed to float as she walked…almost like a phantom, his phantom. Draco stared down at the far away look on Harry's face and sat back down.

" Yup, you know exactly who I'm talking about Potter, I can tell by the look on your face."

" Yah, so, what does she matter to you ferret boy."

" Cause I want her, and I always get what I want."

"Your problem, not mine."

"So I take it you don't know who she is either."

"My guess is as good as yours."

"Damn it" Draco muttered to himself as he walked away, casually tossing Harry's wand over his soldier."

It had been a month now and still no luck for Draco. Days seemed longer, never ending, food lost it's taste – ok, maybe not all that happened, but abit of Joy was lost every night when he went to bed.

Draco checked his calendar, full moon tonight, he always loved full moons. Looking out his window he saw the sun had just began to set. Grabbing his broom he opened his window with a flick of his wand and flew off away over the trees.

It was night time now, around midnight. Draco was just coming out of the clouds to skim over the lake when he saw something moving in it. At first he thought it was just the giant squid, but as he got closer, he realized it wasn't SOMETHING…..it was SOMEONE. Landing in the forbidden forest just off the shore of the lake, he crept through the trees to get a better look. And there she was, as beautiful as ever, gliding through the smooth glass like water. A twig snapped under his foot and Draco silently cursed himself. The girl seemed not to notice so Draco hesitantly took another step forward, another twig snapped.

"There's no use sneaking around like that Draco, you're really bad at it." her voice traveled softly over to him in the wind.

"Y-you know who I am?"

"..ummm, yah"

"how?"

"….Oh…. I have my ways"

" ..uhh-hu.."

"turn around"

"what! Why?"

"cause I'm getting out now"

Draco smirked, "Oh, well, what if I don't wanna turn around?"

She only shrugged and muttered "whatever" while, swimming towerds the bank. Draco watched her every move, transfixed, he couldn't help but notice how graceful she was.

She wore an all black bikini and her black hair clung to her neck. Picking up her wand she flicked it over her head and was immediately dry. As she reached down to pick her cloak up, she realized it wasn't there, she glared up at Draco.

"Looking for this?" he asked innocently, pulling it out from behind him

Rolling her eyes, she muttered a simple summoning spell, and the cloak flew into her arms.

"that's cheating" Draco muttered

"Cheating? No, I never cheat. I simply use my resources and make things work to my advantage" she stated., "…..Well, good night" Walking into the trees, she disappeared from site and a very confused but pleased Draco flew back to his room.
