The day was a glorious one, and spent in fantastic company, as I spent most of it with Seiji and Draco, out in the sun, in the school grounds. We were having a great fun. In the afternoon, we were sitting sunbathing, when I heard a voice.

"Seiji Furu-yama?" It was Professor Dumbledore.

Seiji sat up, and shielded his eyes from the sun, "Yes, sir."

"Come with me please."

Seiji got up, and joined the elderly teacher, before turning to us, "See ya later, guys."

"Bye," we both said goodbye as well.

And together they walked back to the castle, whilst Draco and I sat and looked at the space just vacated by Seiji.

"What the fuck was that all about?" asked Draco.

"Nooo idea."

"Have to ask him later."

"Yup."

Draco moved closer towards me, and I leant into him, resting my head on his shoulder, and looking at the effect of sunlight on the lake.

When we returned to the common room later, it was buzzing with gossip, and the like, most of it about Seiji, as per usual. I listened half-heartedly, thinking that he would be back soon, but then I heard something that interested me, and I listened more carefully.

"…I heard that a load of Aurors came to school today, to take him away with them."

"Really?"

"Yeah, they're taking him to a trial, apparently."

"Woah! What the hell for?"

"Well, according to my aunt, who lives in Australia, he turned up at his parents house, months ago, killed loads of people, then came back here again. They've been tracking him ever since. Now, he's definitely going to Azkaban. I wonder that the school is safe anymore…"

Horror registered on my face, at what the boy had been telling his friends, and I jumped from the chair in which I had been sitting, and ran from the room, Draco close behind me.

"Kara, wait!"

I spun around, "Draco, you heard them too. But he can't of. He wouldn't of, would he?"

"I don't know!" he sounded exasperated, "but if he's done it before, he might've done it again."

"Well, I don't care. I'm not just going to leave him. Not without saying goodbye. He cant' have left yet." I swirled around once again, and set off once more at a run, in the direction of Dumbledore's office.

Standing at the statue at the bottom of the entrance, were four wizards, and I walked boldly towards them.

They were big, much taller and stronger than me.

"What do you want?" one of them asked.

"To see Seiji Furu-yama."

"He is indispensable at the moment, I am afraid."

I pulled out my wand, little knowing what I was doing, and my voice deepened in my anger, "Please, I won't ask nicely again. Let me see him."

I heard Draco calling me behind, "Kara, stop it. It's useless. Just leave it." He came and grabbed my arm, and tried to pull me backwards, but I shook him off.

"You'd better listen to your friend," another of the wizards spoke, larger than the first, and a lot more ferocious looking; he too had drawn his wand.

Without me saying, or thinking anyone, my wand itself sent out a flash of light, as if it were calling for someone. It did not harm the wizard, only shocked them, and all at once, they turned their own wands on me, all yelling in synchronisation, "STUPEFY!"

The four stunning rays hit me, causing me to fly into the air, and fly backwards, hitting a thick stone wall with a large amount of force, and slide to the ground, unconscious and not breathing.

Draco rushed over to her, and crouched by her side, pulling the hair away from her face.

"Kara? Kara? Can you hear me? Kara?"

Eventually, the other four wizards came over, and soon Professor Snape arrived as well, and took one look at the situation, before getting two of the aurors to carry her to the hospital wing.

She lay in the hospital wing for a while, until she could be taken to St. Mungo's, where they could treat her properly.

She still wasn't breathing, and already, huge swellings were coming up on the back of her head, and down her back.

I opened my eyes, and instantly heard voices speaking, "She's awake. She's awake." As everything came into more focus, I saw people standing around my bed, in the form of Remus, and Mrs Weasely, all people who I thought hated me. They all had worried expressions on their faces, and as I blinked a few more times, I noticed more people behind them.

"Hey," I said weakly.

At once they all broke into smiles.

"Why aren't you at school?" I asked no one in particular, but Remus answered.

"It's the summer holidays."

"WHAT!"

"Urh, it's the summer holidays."

"You've been out of it for a long time, Kara. The stunning rays must have really got you bad." Remus explained.

And then it all came back to me. "Where's Ben? And Draco?" I tried to sit up, but Remus pushed me back into the pillows once again, and explained still further.

"Seiji Furu-yama? Him? He's now in Azkaban. He's a murderer, Kara."

"I still love him."

He looked angry, suddenly, "Don't ever let me here you say that ever again."

My grey eyes flashed violently. "And Draco?"

"I don't know. I presume he's gone home for the summer. Its good that you've got away from him too."

I sighed. Harry had been right. Everything he had said, that time, had been right. But it didn't stop me loving them both.

"I'm tired." I spoke quietly. I just wanted them to go away.

"We'll leave you to get some sleep then, dear," Mrs Weasely said kindly, and bustled them all away.

When they had gone, I rolled over, and did not sleep, but curled up into a tight ball, and thought about Seiji, and how he must be feeling.

And the tears slid down my cheeks.
