"Professor?" natalie asked.

"What is it miss."

"Whats wrong with me." natalie said almost breaking into tears. oh how she wanted too tell her. how she wanted to hold this girl tell her everything she knew but knew it would only panic her. it would have to wait until she was older too handle it.

"why would you say something like that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you." she lied. what else could she tell her.

"then why did the sorting hat yell at me and why did you lock me up. if there is nothing wrong with me then what's going on please tell me." screw demanding at this point she didn't care how she got the information she just wanted answers by any means possible. The doors opened and the headmaster walked through.

"Miss jacobs i am glad too see your ok." He said.

"headmaster why did you lock me up." she asked. he seemed taken back a little by this but remained calm.

"professor snape can you take over please." he said walking out.

"Gladly." snape stepped forward too the trembling girl. he placed his wand on her forehead.

"what are you doing." natalie asked her breath escalating.

"saving your life." he said calmly. natalie's breath hitched as she realized what he was going to do. "Obliviate." he said and a small blue mist of air came out of the wand surrounding her head erasing everything that just happened. a expressionless look came over natalie's face. the last hour had been erased from her memory. "listen natalie you were not locked in the headmaster's office alone. you were taken to a safe haven with other ravenclaw members. you stayed there until everything was clear. you never entered the headmaster's office." he said natalie just simply nodded her head. those were her new memories now. her real ones were gone. well the ones from the past hour. she got up and began walking out of the washroom back to her dorm. when she finally came back to her normal self she was already halfway up the stairs to her dorm wondering how she got here. then she remembered that she was with the others in a safe haven to be safe against the troll. she smiled at her good memory and went back to her room where luna was waiting for her.

"Oh natalie i have been wondering where you were. i didn't see you in the safe haven." luna said.

"Hmm that's funny i was there. you must have just not seen me with all the people." she said changing into her pjs.

"yeah i guess so." luna said. natalie went in the bathroom to brush her teeth and when she came out luna was gone.

"I swear that girl is always disappearing places. she is going to get the whole lot of us in trouble on day." Natalie said climbing into her bed and falling fast asleep.

It had been a long while since the incident. draco asked what happened to her and she gave him the answer. or at least the answer that she thought was right. she never knew what really happened. how they toyed with her memories too make her forget just so they could get out of answering her questions. Draco had a bad feeling attached to him. something was more off about her. something kept eating at him too spend more time with her. it was starting to affect him. he began spacing out too try and figure this feeling out. After thanksgiving dumbledore made an announcement that all students could go home for christmas break. If anyone wanted to stay at hogwarts they had to sign a form outside their common rooms. Natalie shrunk back into her chair as she heard this. She didn't want to go back to the orphanage for christmas. but at the same time she didn't want to spend it alone. perhaps some of the friends she had made here would be staying also. It might be fun staying here for christmas. i mean she could eat an awesome christmas dinner. exchange presents with friends. she still had a couple of coins left from the beginning of the year so maybe she could get something small for draco. he had done so much for her this is the least she could do for him. But what do you give the boy who has everything. She looked back at draco who was talking to his slytherin friends at his house table. she couldn't get anything too expensive mainly because she couldn't afford it. she had to get him something meaningful.

"Hey luna can i ask you something?" natalie turned to her.

"what is it?"

"what do you think i can get draco for christmas."

"Hmm thats a tuff one. let's see you can't get him something that involves muggles because his father would probably throw it out. so get him something magical."

"But i only have a couple of pounds. and magic stuff cost a lot. is there anything you know of that is cheap too buy and is magical." natalie begged her.

"there is one thing i know of but i'm not sure they still make them anymore."

"where do you know where i can get them."

"You know ron weasly?"

"the ginger kid."

"thats him, well his older brothers are twins and they have this business i should say. they have tons of magical knick knacks for really cheap prices. they make them all themselves too so you know it's high quality. when you get there ask them for the lovers heart. it's the perfect gift." luan said and going back to her food. natalie stared at her plate wondering what it could be. after classes she tracked down the infamous brothers the weasley twins. they were busy with another customer when she got there.

"Ok just rub this on your throat and in the morning you will look sick as a dog. that ought to give you more time to study for your test." Fred said rustling the kids hari who quickly ran off with his new product.

"Oh hey you're umm Natalie right." george said taking a step in front of his brother.

"Oh yeah i know you you're the girl who freaked out the sorting hat." fred said turning to his brothers side. natalie shrunk back. she thought that most people forgot about that already.

"Oh man we're sorry we didn't mean too bring it up." george said noticing her discomfort.

"we were only messing around."

"No its ok i don't care about that anyway. i'm actually here for something that you have. My friend luna told me you have it."

"ah luna lovegood." fred said.

"Loyal customer always checks to see if we have anything new." george stated

"If lunas a friend of yours well i think we can dock the prices by half for you right." fred said. Natalie's eyes widened. these guys couldn't be real. she had too make sure she thanked luna after this.

"Thank you so much." natalie said

"so what can we get you." george said rolling up his sleeves.

"Oh i'm looking for a present i can get my friend for christmas but he already has sorta everything so luna said i should try getting him a lover's heart." the twins turned to each other and gave each other with mischievous grins.

"Oh a lover's heart huh." fred said making his way to one side of natalie.

"may we ask who this friend of yours is." george said making his way to the other side of her.

"well uh i don't want too say too much cause i don't want to embarrass him. what is there something special that it does." natalie asked.

"the lover's heart product is something we invented very special to us."

"it was originally going to be sold for lovers."

"But it didn't go the way we intended so it has a new purpose."

"It plays the most wonderful memory that the receiver has. and if a new better memory appears it will give of that memory."

"You see wonderful memories lead to a wonderful romance."

"But we are just friends." natalie said taking a step forward.

"Oh yes of course it's not a love spell or anything." fred said

"No no we aren't allowed to sell those on school grounds."

"It merely is just giving off good memories."

"what it was originally suppose to do was to show the day that the two lovers met."

"But instead it just shows the happiest memory the receiver has."

"all you have to do is give this boy this box." george said handing her a small box.

"get him to open it."

"and then it will play." they said in unison. "simple really." they said again in unison.

"thank you so much how much do i owe you." natalie said reaching for the few coins that she had in her pocket.

"nothing." they said together. "we decided that it's the holidays and since you're friends with luna your total comes to nothing."

"Oh my gosh thank you so much."

"No problem." they said again. this was starting to get weird how they talked at the same time. but then again they were twins. this sort of thing was normal. she walked back to her common room and hugged luna thanking her for the advice. she got some wrapping paper that cho chang had left over from her gifts and quietly wrapped the tiny wooden box. it didn't look like much. it was just a small tiny brown wooden box. who knows if it even really works.

"this is suppose to play draco's happiest memory. then it must have some really powerful magic on it. i wonder what memory will play." natalie asked herself.

At the same time in the slytherin house.

"What can i get Natalie for christmas. Crabbe, Goyle, what do you think i should get her." Draco turned to the two idiots who were still stuffing themselves with stolen goods.

"Uhh Malfoy about that.." crabbe said

"The thing is malfoy that jacobs girl is kinda…" he paused.

"what kinda what." draco asked.

"she's just really weird." crabbe said.

"yeah what crabbe said come on malfoy you have too think she is a little weird too. i told my father about what she did too the sorting hat. he said that has never happened before. My father said there must be something wrong with her."

"who cares what your father said. and so what if she is kinda weird it's not like anyone else here is normal." draco shot back. how dare they talk about Natalie like that.

"draco you shouldn't hang out with people like that. we don't even know why you hang out with her in the first place. sure she's a pureblood more than half the people in slytherin are to. Why don't you go hang out with one of them. but she has absolutely no status or any money. i heard she is even more poor than the weasleys. i mean at least they have a roof over their heads that's theirs. i mean natalie is an orphan and is going nowhere after she graduates."

"You Shut Your Mouth Crabbe. i don't give a rat's worth what you or your father think. If you ever talk about Natalie like that again i'll have you hexed with a pig's tail to match your face." and with that he stormed out of the house. who did they think they were talking about natalie like that. sure she was poor and had no status but who cared right. Who cared that she wasn't in the slytherin house that didn't matter. who cared of what she did too the sorting hat. He was the only one here who had an IQ that was bigger than his shoe size anyway. Everyone here was an idiot. He needed to think of something even more special now too show natalie that she was the smartest girl in this entire school. to show her that she was the only one that he could really come too. he went to the ravenclaw doorway too go get natalie he wanted to talk. it after hours he should be in his house. if he was caught then he was going to get in serious trouble. he just needed to talk.
