Draco and I stayed together as much we could. I now felt as comfortable with him as I did when I was with Becky and Mitch. I was with them quite a bit too.

"He hasn't hurt you has he?" Mitch asked. I shook my head.

"No," I replied. "Draco's really nice to me. He's been looking after me and everything."

"If he ever hurts you promise us that you'll tell us right away," Becky said.

"Er...okay but I don't think he will. I mean why would he?"

"Just promise."

"Yeah sure. I promise." We continued walking down the corridor.

"Huh?" I gasped looking down another corridor. Something flickered at the other end of the corridor. I walked away from Becky and Mitch and headed towards the flicker.

"What the hell is this thing?" I wondered aloud. A small ball of light bobbed in front of me. I reached out to touch it and it vanished.

"Well if it isn't Schyler," a voice sneered. I turned toward the voice.

"Oh...hi," I said. "You're Theodore right?" I was still really bad with remembering all the names of my housemates. He nodded.

"Well what's up?" I asked.

"I have some unfinished business with you."

"Uh...okay..." He grabbed and me slammed against the wall.

"You know Malfoy interupted us last time," he hissed in my ear. "But he's not here now."

"Leave me alone!" I cried raising my fists to hit him. Theodore grabbed my wrists and pinned them over my head with one hand.

"Now be a good girl and be still." I shut my eyes tightly as he brushed his hand against my cheek.

"Please leave me alone," I whimpered.

"I know you don't remember that night when we all got drunk but I was going to have fun that night and since Malfoy stopped me I'll just have to do it now."

"No!" I screamed. I kicked out at him and felt my foot connect with his knee. He shouted and let go of me. I started running.

"Becky!" I yelled. "Mitch! Help!"

"Selencio!" Theodore yelled. The spell hit me and my voice cut off. I kept running and soon he fell far behind. I ran into a small dark corner behind a suit of armour and a statue. I crouched down and held my breath. I didn't hear anything but I waited a long time just to be sure. I sighed.

Finite, I thought pointing my wand at my throat. I pulled my knees up to my chin and rested my forehead against them. I had no idea what was wrong with Theodore. I didn't know what he was talking about. When did I get drunk!?

"This sucks," I muttered. I wanted very much to find my friends and Draco and tell them what had happened but I had no idea where I was or how to find them. I was alone and I was scared. Not such a good combination. I started crying and soon found that I felt better the more I cried.

Once I had gotten all the crying out of my system I got up and began wandering around, looking for the others.

"Schyler?" a voice asked. "What're you doing here by yourself?"
