Hey guys! I haven't written a disclaimer in ages! Sorry it took longer than usual! I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed or subscribed to me/My Name Is Maya or added to me to your Favourite Stories/Author.

But I am going to ask one thing of you...: PLEASE LEAVE MORE REVIEWS! I have seen how many people have read my story who are members, just please please please leave me a review, even if it is to tell me if you like it/dislike it or to give me advice! By looking up, yup just look up a little... no, not up as in the ceiling, I meant up the page... see there? See the reviews? See the number? We need to make that number bigger! =P

I had an interesting review though, someone said that this story is slightly Twilight-reminscent: I suppose it is a little, it's the whole classic leave them whilst loving them, to keep them safe; like hat Edward does. I haven't stolen the idea from Stephenie Meyer, I'm just using the classic LTWLTKTS (haha, see the initials? That is very long...).

Disclaimer: I do not own anything you recognise from the books/films, that all belongs to J K Rowling. Even raco, I hear you ask? Yes, even Draco, though I DID PUT UP A FIGHT!

Just so you know and are not confused... This chapter takes place about 6 months after the last chapter.

Enjoy!

Dear Diary,

Something isn't quite right. I can feel it in my gut. As you know, I don't write in hear unless it's a necessity. Right now, I'm in dire need of someone to talk to. Draco left me again. Well, I shouldn't say it like that. We weren't a couple so it can't be considered a break up, despite what Sav thinks.

She's determined to be furious at Draco for leading me on like that and then dropping me like this. She refuses to look at him, speak to him, acknowledge him or anything. Not that I do. I think that may be why she's doing it: for moral support.

Jack still speaks to him and the fact that he does is creating a drift between him and Sav. They constantly bicker over that one difference and it's killing me. This was between Draco and I, our business, and their relationship is suffering because of us. I wanted to make Draco pay. Make him realise what's he done, and is still doing, by ignoring me. This pain was mine, and should be mine, so why is it that somehow, I had unintentionally shared it with two of my closest friends?

But going back to why I have a bad feeling: it's getting stormier and not only do storms frighten me, they cause damage: a perfect metaphor for what is happening in the world, both Wizarding and Muggle, at the moment.

But here's something that you can't tell ANYONE else, okay? I know you won't because you're a diary, but STILL! Here it goes:

I miss Draco. I miss him so much! I still can't understand why this has happened...again... I haven't spoken to him for about six months now, more or less. Why does he think it's a good idea to leave me? Especially when he knows that I...need him... Are all boys that dense? If so, I might not get myself into a relationship, unless of course Draco changes his mind and runs back to me, confessing his undying love for me... I'll wait for that day, but until then, I'll stay single. I wish I could say that I don't need him, but I would be lying to you and to myself. You never really know what you need in life until you lose it. Does this mean that I like him more than I realise? I don't even understand why I fancy him: he's not particularily kind, is he? I mean...well, he's been wonderful to me. I just still remember when he hit Hermione Granger with that hex that made her teeth like a beavers, I wish I knew that hex... Appparently he had been aiming for Harry Potter, or that's what the rumours said, but he missed and hit Hermione. And I suppose, it's no secret that he hates Harry Potter, he's never told me why. It's one of those subjects that we never brought up. It may highlight the fact we weren't meant to be friends, by what happens between our houses: I'd always thought that that tradition was pathetic anyway...

Recently I have been noticing that Draco disappears off towards the Room Of Requirement (yes, I knew where that was, I have read and memorized Hogwarts: A History). I don't talk to him, but sometimes I noticed him disappearingduring Lunchtime, so what did I do? I followed him, diary. He seemed determined not to be followed, so I had to use a charm to stay hidden, don't ask me what it was, Sav did it, wordlessly. He always used to disappear than come back out, looking paler than Professor Binns. I'm so worried about him, I mean, I know he's a Death Eater, and is supposed to do just that: eat...death. Okay, that sounds stupid. But he's meant to kill. Take lives. (They should be called Life Eater because they eat the lives out of people, but You-Know-Who being You-Know-Who, he couldn't have his minions sounding like...like... fluffy bunnies!)

I have a case of Frightenedofwhat'stocomeandgrowingup-ingitis. If that isn't actually a illness, it is now and don't argue with me! I feel especially fragile at the moment, as if you look at me the wrong way and I would burst out crying, then get insanely mad and then try and press charges to get you in Azkaban. When you'll then either go insane or get recruited by You-Know-Who and then get your ass kicked by Harry Potter.

So yeah, don't look at me the wrong way, or even look at me at all, unless you wanna die.

I'm too tired to write anymore, so I'll write in here when I find out what Draco is up to.

I woke up suddenly to a crash. Well, I thought there was a crash, but I wasn't so sure. There was complete silence in the dorm, if you ignored the light snores of the other girls.

I laid there for another 10 minutes, listening intently, trying to prove to myself that I wasn't hearing things.

I heard voices downstairs, in the common room. Rushed voices, panicked voices. What was going on? They weren't even trying to stay quiet to make sure that they didn't wake anybody else up. Was it them who made the crash noise? It must have been, what else could have been so loud that it was able to wake me up in one of the tallest towers in the school. Determined that it was the voices downstairs that had awoken me, I settled back down to sleep. I worried that I would be tired the next morning.

Just as I was halfway between consciousness and sleep, there was an ear splitting siren. It made me want to jump out of bed and run away, anything to make it stop.

Suddenly, it stopped, just as randomly as it started. Then there was a voice.

"All students are to report down to the common room immediately."

It was Professor McGonagall. She sounded worried, which was major for her.

I jumped out of bed and pulled my cousin, Rick's jumper over my head, all the while trying to shake Sav awake. She was determined to ignore me. But I wasn't accepting that, not today anyway. The last time we had to get up in the middle of the night was when there was a mass murderer loose in the castle. Oh no Sirey, I was not hanging around.

I practically dragged Sav out of her bed and threw a jumper at her without registering who's it was. With Sav complaining the whole way, I dragged her down the stairs and into the common room. Everyone was congregated downstairs, so tightly packed that we had to stay on the Girl's dorms steps. The volume in the room was on maximum, all you could hear was chatter over chatter, and where people couldn't hear their own conversations, they spoke louder and then someone else couldn't hear themselves speak so then they spoke louder. In the end, it was so loud in there that you could have screamed 'Fire' and no one would have taken any notice.

Professor McGonagall was gone and instead, the Head boy and Head girl stood up on a chair each, their faces pale and wands clutched in their hands.

"Quiet!" They Head boy, some guy I didn't know the name of, yelled but he still was loud enough to be heard over the chattering, I was only able to hear as I was stood right next to him. He sighed and pointed his wand at his throat. "Sonorus..." I heard him mutter.

Suddenly, his voice sounded like he was talking into a microphone.

"I said, quiet!" His bellow carried out throughout the common room. Bit by bit, the chatter died away until only silence was left.

"Now, you all need to listen clearly, if you don't your life may be at risk..." Well, that's one way to break the silence. Panicked cries rang through the room, guys yelling, girls worrying.

"I SAID QUIET!" Wow, my ears were ringing. "You need to LISTEN! The protection charms that surrounded Hogwarts have been penetrated, nobody knows who broke them, but what is certain is that anyone can enter the Hogwarts grounds now!"

The silence was deafening and tension made my chest tighten, everyone knew what he was implying. He really did mean anyone, perhaps even someone like... You-Know-Who. Oh bugger.

I searched around, like most of the people in there, for the one person who would care most if You-Know-Who was here. But Harry Potter was nowhere to be seen. My hope was diminishing when I couldn't see him, or his two friends that always helped him, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

Even his girlfriend, Ginny Weasley, wasn't here. Nor was Neville Longbottom, also a friend of theirs. It seemed too set up that everybody close to Harry wasn't here. I started panicking along with everyone else who was here.

"Now, I wnt everybody to understand that it's absolutely FORBIDDEN to leave this common room, is that clear? " There was murmurings of yes fluttering through the room.

"You can't even go up to the dorms. You are to stay in here, away from the windows," people who were near the windows practically ran to the other side of the room, "and stay in sight of Violet and I." He gestured towards the Head girl who was chewing nervously on her thumb nail.

"Finite Incantatum." His voice went back to a normal level and he began whispering to 'Violet', the Head girl.

I caught just a few words of there very hushed conversation and it was enough to get me shuffling my way towards the portrait hole.

"...I heard that that Malfoy kid was the reason they were here..."

Just before I managed to crawl out of the hole, a hand grabbed my elbow.

"What do you think you're doing?" Sav hissed into my ear, quietly so nobody else could hear.

"I'm going, Draco's involved..." I struggled to get out her grip; Draco could be getting hurt whilst I stood here having this conversation.

"I'm coming with you then." Sav concluded.

"Oh no, you're not!" I muttered, pulling my arm out of her grasp and I gently pushed her away.

"Hey you there, McMillan, get away from the portrait hole, now!" The Head boy yelled, his voice getting closer.

There was a scramble and I managed to get half way through the portrait hole, far enough into the shadows so that he wouldn't be able to see me, but still be able to see Sav.

"B-but..." Sav stuttered, she was never any good if she thought she was doing something wrong, which was just one of the reasons, one of the least important reasons, that I didn't want her to come with me. Of course the other reason was so that if something went wrong, she wouldn't be involved.

I quietly pushed against the back of the Fat Lady portrait, ignoring when she called out for me to stop.

The corridors were deserted and dark, barely lit by the moonlight that wwas trickling through the old windows. I didn't know where Draco was, but decided to go with my heart, to where I had seen him disappearing recently.

By bare feet made padding noise as I ran through the cold castle, my destination, a certain disappearing door.
