Author's note:

Ok I did something a little different with this chapter. I normally picture things as they would happen in a movie which I'm sure many people do. Anyway, this chapter I decided to add in song lyrics. The song is called Missing by Evanescence. I don't own any of the song so please don't sue! The song lyrics are in bold and centered so you can differentiate them from the rest of the story. I hope this works well because I plan on doing it in a later chapter. I think that adding in a song like this makes emotions more out there.

Leona sat in the back of the Transfiguration room trying to ignore the whispers around her, but it wasn't working.

"…Why does she even stay here…"

"…Have you seen the mark on her arm…"

"…She doesn't even bother to cover it up anymore…"

She always made sure that she was the last one out of the class. As Harry passed, She dared to look up to him and quickly regretted it.

The hate and sadness still lingered on every inch of him, and his stare drilled its way into Leona's soul. How come everything had to turn out so wrong?

That night Leona woke up drenched in sweat. She was shaking and breathing heavily. Another nightmare, this one even more intense then any of the others.

A few of the house elves surrounded her making sure she was ok. Leona reassured them all. She then starred into the fire, pulling her knees up to her chest and hugging them. Surprisingly, Leona began to think of her father.

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll have woke up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
Isn't something missing?

Leona didn't go to any of her classes the following day. She knew she was on the verge of failing, but she didn't care. It seemed she didn't care about anything anymore.

Since everyone was in class, Leona decided to go walk around. She kept her head down watching her feet carry her along the floor. She could hear the downpour of rain on the roof. When she got to the main staircase, she heard a voice call her name. Leona looked up and watched Draco come down the steps.

"Hey," he said when he stepped off the last step. Just then the bell rang. People flooded the halls as they made their way to supper.

People starred at her as they passed.

"I was hoping we could talk," Draco said.

"I don't want to talk," Leona said as she walked towards the door to the grounds.

"C'mon Leona," Draco said as he followed her. People stopped going into the Great Hall to turn and watch Leona and Draco.

You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

Leona pushed through the doors and stepped into the rain.

Even though I'd be sacrificed,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

"Leona get back in here. You're getting soaked. Besides, there's no other place that you can go to."

"Draco," Leona yelled as she spun around, "Shut up! Just shut up. And please Draco can you just leave me alone?" That's when reality hit Leona. She was truly alone in the world.

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
Shudder deep and cry out:
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

Over Draco's shoulder Leona could see Harry standing on the staircase. He was too far away for her to see what he was feeling. Maybe she didn't want to.

Even though I'd be sacrificed,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

Leona felt a breakdown coming on and she turned and ran into the storm. She heard Draco call out her name a few times before the rain drowned it out.

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...

Leona wasn't sure how long she was running, but when she reached the top of a hill her legs gave way under her. Leaning on her knees, she cried into the rain. This was the first time she had cried like this in about two years. She laid down on the soaking grown letting the tears come.

Even though I'd be sacrificed,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
