Thank you to Teachmetodance and Laroche's Bitch for reviewing! It makes me so happy! This chapter is dedicated to you guys!

I believed in him through and through. I hadn't a single doubt that he would be with me always, forever loyal and caring. I believed he could get through anything—he always had—without a single grimace or tear drop. He was strong. The shameless protector of me, a scrawny red head, from the prying and judging eyes of my classmates and the golden trio. He wouldn't judge me. Not ever.

How wrong I was.

When I found out about the things he told the other Slytherins back in the common room, my dreams of him and I, as well as all of my beliefs in him, were crushed.

At first, I couldn't believe it. Incredulity was my reaction to the things I heard people calling me in the hallways. They'd chuckle as they walked by and whisper horrible things over their shoulder. I was sure they must have just been messing around. But it kept going. And it got worse.

He'd try to apologize, explain that it was all a misunderstanding, charm me back into his clutches. Of course I fell for it. I was so glad to have an excuse to believe in him again.

A/N: Yay! Slightly longer than the last one! Once again, review if you want another chapter! No reviews=no more chapters! The moment that some one writes a review, I will upload the next chapter! Like I said, I have already finished the whole story, so I'm just waiting on you! Yes, you, the person who is reading this right now on a screen somewhere. Review! Please.

If you are still on the fence about reviewing, or if you haven't already started typing a review, here is a little something about reviews. When I get a review, I literally jump up and down and start singing. Please give me this kind of happiness by typing "Good!". That is just 5 buttons. Please! 5 characters will give you a new chapter! Doesn't that sound like a good deal?

Disclaimer: Once again, not mine. How many times do I have to say this? How about I just say that this entire story with all of its chapters, posted or not posted, is not mine. There. Now I'm not going to have to do a disclaimer for each chapter. ;)
