"I can't believe you are lying to Fred. You're going to hurt him when he finds out the truth." Nyt said.

"I know that, Nyt. But I don't want to tell him yet. After what he saw it's too early to go up to him and say 'oh by the way I love Draco'. I don't think so, Nyt." Lynx said.

"I have to agree with her." Draco said as he came up toward the bridge.

Nyt smiled as she left them alone. She didn't go too far cause she didn't want the others to see her without Lynx.

Draco walked up to Lynx and wrapped his arms about her waist, pulling her into his embrace. Lynx leaned into his touch as she slowly snaked her arms around his neck.

"I'm sorry, Phoenix. I didn't mean for you to get hurt like you did." Draco said.

"It's ok, Dragon. It's not your fault. I'm the one who tried to pull Fred off you, and in the end ended up on the floor." Lynx said as she pulled away only just to look into Draco's eyes.

He looked deep into her eyes as he slowly leaned down and brushed his lips against her in a chaste kiss. Lynx didn't respond and caused Draco to pull away in confusion.

Lynx smirked. "You didn't tell me to respond."

Draco smiles. "Respond."

He crushed his lips on her, and kissed her long and hard. Her hands went into his hair as his brought her body closer to him. He licked her bottom lip wanting permission to go further. And that permission was granted when she opened her mouth as he thrusted his tongue in her caverns and explored every inch.

He liked her taste. She tasted sweet like chocolate with a hint of spice to make it interesting. He loved her taste, and he didn't' want to pull away but the need for air was calling. So he reluctantly pulled away, but never from her body, just her mouth.

"I love your taste, Phoenix." Draco whispered.

"And I love you."

Draco looked into Lynx's face as she said that. He smiled as he thought about her being his friend, and choosing him over Fred. Not that he was much competition.

"I don't want to let you go, Lynx." Draco said after a while.

"I don't want to let you go either, Draco." Lynx said as she cuddled to him. "I want to stay with you."

"I know a way that we can be together tonight." Draco said. "Meet me tonight in front of your common room. Then I'll lead you to my common room and you can stay with me tonight."

"That way I'll be with you in the morning and can leave early enough to sneak back into my room. But I won't meet you in front of my common room. I found a way into your common room from my common room." Lynx said as she kissed him again.

Draco quickly deepened it as he pushed her up against the bridge wall. Before they both knew it, they were pulling away from one another to go their separate ways and back to the life they've lived for the past month.

"I'll see you tonight, my Phoenix."

Lynx smiled as she nodded then left first, finding Nyt and walking back to the school. Once they were inside Nyt and Lynx said good-bye then went back to their own common room.

"Lynx, where were you?" Fred asked.

"I was outside with Nyt." Lynx answered.

"Lynx, tell me. Where were you?" Fred asked again, firmer this time.

"Look, it doesn't matter where I was. All you need to know is that I was with Nyt, so back off." Lynx said, getting annoyed. "You're worse than Skyra is."

With that she walked up the stairs to the girl's dormitory and into her room. She lies on her bed as she thinks about Draco. She smiles as she thinks about his kisses. She likes his kisses, more than Fred's. Though, Fred was the only one to let her taste him. And she liked his taste, but she didn't like Fred. She wants to be with Draco, and tonight, that's exactly what's gonna happen.

Draco walked into the Snake Common Room and noticed that no one was there. Then he heard a noise from above him and saw Nyt climbing out of the vent. He smirked as he figured that was how Lynx was going to get over here.

"So, Nyt, where does this lead to?" Draco asked as he helped her down.

Nyt almost jumped out of her skin when he helped her down and asked her about the vent. "It leads to a vent right outside of Lynx's room if that's what you mean."

Draco smirked as Nyt went into her room, leaving him alone in the common room. He slowly made his way up into the vent and headed toward where he knew the Gryffin Common Room was. When he reached the end he checked to see if anyone was there or coming before climbing out and walking toward Lynx's door, not really knowing where it was.

Suddenly Lynx walked out of her door and saw Draco searching for something. She figured it was her door and whispered to him. He smiled when he turned to see her, then hurried inside her room when he heard someone coming.

Lynx shut the door quietly and turned to look at Draco. She didn't have to ask how he knew about the vent, she figured either Nyt told him willingly or he saw her going in and/or out.

Draco pulled her to him and kissed her hard. Even though they had just been together, he had missed her like crazy. She responded to his kiss while she dug her fingers into his blond hair, holding him to her. He placed his arms around her waist pulling her closer. Quietly and carefully he pushed her against the door with his body as he moved away from her mouth to her neck.

"Draco…" Lynx whispered as she arched her neck to give him more room.

Draco took that as an encouragement to continue and proceeded to nibble her neck, before going to her earlobe. Lynx was suddenly feeling weak again so Draco stopped and held her to him.

"What's wrong Phoenix?"

"I'm just alittle tired. That's all."

"Then you better lie down." Draco said as he picked her up bridal-style and carried her to the side of her bed, before gently placing her under the covers. Then he pulled the covers up to her chin. When he was getting ready to walk over and sit in the chair he felt a hand grab his and tug him towards her. He carefully crawls on the bed behind her, holds her to him and watches as she falls asleep.

Draco was the first one to wake up and he tried to be very carefully as to not wake Lynx up. He left her a note saying he would be back later tonight and that he loved her before he left through the vent.

When he got back inside the common room he noticed that Nyt was siting on the couch reading a book that looked familiar. 'That's Lynx's journal.' He walked over to her, grabbed the book from her hands and looked at her hard.

"Why do you have Lynx's journal?" Draco demanded.

"Because I took it away from Skyra when she wasn't looking. I was planning on giving it back to Lynx, but I figured since you're going to see her tonight anyway, I'd let you give it to her." Nyt said, before walking off.

Draco walked into his room, closing the door behind him then fell onto his bed. He opened the journal and started reading.

I probably shouldn't be saying this but I think I'm in love with someone who's not on my team. Yea, sounds more like Skyra doesn't it? Anyway, his name is Draco and he has short blonde hair and beautiful silver-gray eyes that make me melt when I look into them. I know that I shouldn't love him, but it's hard not to. Mom always said that I was into the bad boy look. Guess she was right.

I know that I liked Fred earlier, but Draco is so mysterious. Must be why I'm attracted to him so much. He's amazing, although when I first met him I thought that he was with Nyt. I thought I was going to die. But it turns out that Nyt likes Professor Severus Snape. Imagine that.

I also found out today that Professor Remus Lupin is my father. I didn't want to believe it at first, but something inside me was saying that Principle Dumbledore was telling the truth. Lupin is my father but that doesn't explain a lot. That doesn't explain why he didn't try to find out. Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like if Lupin had known I was his daughter when he first found out that my mother was pregnant. Would he have still thought that it wasn't his, that it was someone else's, or would he have asked for a DNA test?

I guess it doesn't really matter anymore. All that matters is that I have found my real father, I'm still friends with Nyt and hopefully I'll be with Draco soon. I just wish I had enough courage to tell him, but I'm afraid that he'll reject me because I'm a Gryffin and he's a Snake.

'She's liked me since our first class? I can't believe that. She's liked me the same amount of time I've liked her.' Draco thought to himself. He was thinking that maybe she was his soul mate. 'But will father allow me to be with her? I hope he does, cause I love her and I want to be with her no matter what he says.'

Draco looked at the clock and saw that it was dinnertime. He placed the journal under his pillow then left his room and followed the other Snake's to the Great Hall for dinner. The trip was silent and turned out that they had run into the Gryffin's on their way to the Great Hall. Draco snuck a look at Lynx and noticed that she was standing alittle to close to Harry for comfort. But then he saw that Harry was holding her up. 'Looks like Harry knows about her being weak sometimes.'

"What are you all doing?" A Snake asked.

"We're heading toward the same place you all are heading. The Great Hall." Lynx said sounding annoyed by the rivalry between the two houses.

Nyt walked up, took Lynx by the arm and helped over to her table before walking over to hers. Draco followed Nyt to their table, but not before catching Lynx's eyes. He smirked, causing her to blush before she smiled back and turned to her own table.

Harry came in next and sat down beside Lynx. He placed his hand on her shoulder and looked at the two groups arguing. Both Harry and Lynx knew that Ron would join them soon since he was almost always hungry.

"Ron, if you keep this up you won't be able to eat anything." Lynx said.

Ron raced into the room and sat down beside Harry, while the two groups went their separate ways. No one knew why until they saw Snape walk in after him or her on his way to the head table.

"Guys, I'm going to head back to the common room. I'm not feeling very well." Lynx said.

She stood up and walked out of the Great Hall, but not before catching Draco's attention. He saw her leave and smirked. He waited a few more minutes before getting up himself and heading toward his common room. He walked in, went into his room to retrieve the journal and then went inside the vent.

When he got to the other side he saw Lynx standing at her door waiting on him. He smiled as he climbed down and walked over to his Phoenix. Then he gently pulled her to him before giving her back her journal.

"How did you…"

"Nyt grabbed it from Skyra, and I took it from her. We both figured since I was going to see you tonight anyways I'd be the one to give it back to you." Draco said.

Lynx smiled before going into her room, placing the journal under pillow and leaving her room again, closing it behind her. Draco looked at her weird and Lynx smiled.

"I thought maybe we'd be safer in your room than mine. Skyra has a tendency to come into my room when she knows or thinks I'm asleep. I don't need her coming in and seeing you here. She'd tell everyone and then we'd be asked too many questions, and I don't want them asked by Harry or Fred."

Draco nodded before climbing into the vent. Then he pulled Lynx up and closed the grate back before anyone say them. They quietly made their way to the Snake's Common Room and inside Draco's room. When the door was closed and locked did Draco even dare to look at Lynx.

"I know you've liked me since our first day." Draco said.

"How do you…you read my diary?" Lynx asked.

"Only about our first day of school. Nyt was reading it before, I think to try and figure out how Skyra was able to tell. I scanned over it, even the part about Lupin being your father. I didn't mean too, but when I saw my name written down…"

"It's ok Draco. I don't mind."

"Are you going to change your last name?"

"I'm comfortable with the idea and I'm almost ready to change my name from Phoenix to Lupin."

Lynx saw the look on Draco's face and knew that her last name was where her nickname came from. He sat on his bed and looked at the floor.

"Draco, that's not going to change who I am. I'm still going to be your Phoenix." Lynx said as she walked over to him, lifted his head up and sat on his lap.

He held her to him so she wouldn't fall off, and looked into her eyes. He smiled before brushing his lips against Lynx's and softly kissed her. Lynx's eyes slowly fluttered closed as she kissed him back all the while placing her arms around his neck. With one arm around her back he used his other one to climb further on the bed 'til his back was against the headboard of his bed.
