and i realized chapter four is rather short so i decided to be nice and give you two chapters instead of just one short one. so here ya go!

Chapter 5: Going Home?

I must've cried myself to sleep because I now find myself lying in bed with the sheets messed up. Why am I crying again….? Oh yeah, only cause my boyfriend doesn't believe that I care about him and thinks I'm just using him till I get home.

Crap now I'm going to start crying again.

"Miss Shayna?"

I jumped. Arg! I jump too easily.

"Professor Dumbledore wishes to speak with Shayna. He sent Dobby to get her." Sure enough, it was Dobby. He looked down. "Dobby hopes he didn't find Shayna at a bad time…"

I wiped my tears away. I probably looked dreadful, but at the moment I don't really care. It's just Dumbledore anyway.

"No. I'll come. Don't worry Dobby you didn't catch me at a bad time." I stood up only to find that my arm is asleep. Gee, that'll help my mood.

Well I guess I said something to cheer Dobby up because he's bouncing around waiting for me.

"This way, Miss Shayna," he said, smiling.

"How many times do I have to tell you to just call me Shayna?" Ok, I'm a little irritable right now. What do you expect?

"To call Miss Shayna by just her first name is a sign of disrespect. Dobby respects Miss Shayna very much." Oh. My. God. This house-elf is going to drive me nuts.

I dropped it. I'm not exactly in the mood to politely tell Dobby that calling a person by their first name is a sign of friendship. He wouldn't listen to me anyway.

Out in the common room I looked around. No Draco. He probably wouldn't talk to me anyway. He seemed pretty mad last night. But what is he pissed off about? I'm the one that was pulled out of my home (well, technically Tom's, but I spend enough time there it very well is part of my home), thrown into a school that's not even supposed to exist, and I'm the one that fell for a fictional character! Of course, he's the one that fell for the girl who just appeared on the Hogwarts lawn one day when he was "patrolling." He's the one getting "ditched" when I go home. Grrrr. I've got it so much worse than him. This place is like his second home. For me, it's just a fictional place that Kelli and I talk about. None of this is real to me. So why is he pissed off? Simply because I wanted to make sure he didn't hate me when I went home?

"Bubble gum!" I heard Dobby's little voice yell. Looking up I saw the giant eagle statue jump out of the way and a staircase appear behind it. I guess we're at Dumbledore's office already.

Uh oh. What if I have to go home? What if Dumbledore figured out a way to get me home but I have to leave now? What if I don't get to say good-bye to Draco?

Ugh. I am NOT having a good day.

Well we got to the top of the stairs and Dobby led me inside.

"Good morning Shayna!" Dumbledore greeted me happily. "I trust you're enjoying your stay at Hogwarts?"

"Yeah. It's cool." Monotone! Oh well, don't care, I'm depressed, piss off.

"Is there something you wish to tell me, Shayna?" he asked.

Hello! Not Harry Potter standing in front of you! Though he can do that one thing….what's it called…

"Shayna?"

"Oh sorry. No, there's nothing. I'm good." Oops. Well that was a giveaway that something's on my mind.

"Well, you will be happy to know that I have finally devised a way for you to go home." He pulled out a vile of clear liquid. "You must drink this potion and you will be taken back to your home." He held it out to me.

"Do I have to drink it now?" I asked hesitantly. I took the vile from his hands and held on to it. The liquid inside cooled the vile.

"No. You may drink it whenever you please." He smiled. He probably is thinking I want to spend more time with Draco. "But be warned that in a week that potion won't be good anymore. I will have to make more."

I looked down at the clear stuff. I almost wanted to drink it down now, to leave this place, just to go home. But I knew I had to say good-bye. I would hate myself for leaving when Draco was mad at me.

So I made a decision. "I'll drink it by the end of this week, and I'll have Draco tell you when I've gone."

"Are you sure you're alright with this, Shayna?"

I didn't say anything at first. I didn't really know the answer myself. I mean, yeah I want to go home, but I want to stay in this magical place too.

"Yes. I'll be fine."
