All week, Seamus was constantly on Ava's mind, she never thought that he would ever be so kind to her. He refused to take advantage of her cause she was drinking, and that shocked her.

She didn't know why she was angry with him, maybe she was jealous of Lavender, what was she even thinking! It was Lavander, that gossipy, know-it-all, that is obsessed with Divination.

Ava walked down the hall fuming, she hasn't seen Seamus since that night, Malfoy was still in the hospital wing, recovering from his injuries, she didn't tell anyone what happened, she just told Donna that she was tired and walked back to Hogwarts, then Donna got mad at her saying that she wasn't suppose to be walking anywhere alone and then she went and told Harry who also yelled at her for being so stupid.

She didn't care though, she was so sick of it all. She was sick of Malfoy always picking on her, and she was sick of constantly being protected, she was sick of the prophecy and mostly she was sick of her confusing feelings with Seamus.

Ava tried to give herself time to think about these feelings towards Seamus but with her teachers throwing school work on her and having to worry about Harry and Donna following her everywhere so she wouldn't be alone was to much on her brain. She wanted to be a normal school girl who gossiped over boys and giggled with her friends and didn't have to worry about anything but her marks.

On the other hand she really shouldn't of been complaining, Harry had it much worse than her, he was suppose to destroy the dark lord and Ava had no clue how he was going to do that. At least her first few years at Hogwarts was normal, every year Harry had another challenge thrown at his face.

Ava walked into the Great hall and saw Tyler, Dean and Donna. Ava sat down beside Donna, who looked angry at her. "i have been looking for you every where" she whispered. Ava sighed " Really Donna, there are Aurors everywhere I don't need to following me everywhere I go" she said. Then she stopped talking when Tyler and Dean looked at them.

Ava quickly looked down at her food.

" So um, have you guys seen Elaine at all?" Tyler asked.

Ava's head shot up. She knew Elaine had been avoiding Tyler ever since the night in Hogsmead. Ava told her that he wouldn't remember what happened but suddenly she knew she was wrong. Tyler was blushing after he mentioned her, Ava knew that he could remember, she could tell.

" Um I don't know, I last saw her up in the common room" Ava said. " Why do you want her?" she asked.

Tyler shrugged " just wondering" he said.

" So I haven't seen Seamus in a while" Donna said to Tyler and Dean. Ava didn't raise her head, but she was listening very closely.

" Ah he got suspended" Dean said. " We don't know why he was suspended though, he wouldn't tell us but the teachers made him stay up in our dorm for two weeks and he is not aloud to leave or have any social contact with anyone but us of course, since we're in the same room and all"

Donna looked shocked " Got suspended! I wonder what he did?" Donna said. Ava didn't look up at them.

" Did a letter get sent to his parents?" Donna asked.

Tyler nodded " Yeah, a few days ago he got a wicked howler sent to him from his mom, we were all in the dorm at the time so we all heard it and trust me that women said things that still gives me the chills" he said and shivered.

Dean also shivered " I will pray for him when he goes back to her this summer" he said.

Donna smiled at them, " Where is Ben then?" she asked. Tyler and Dean hesitated and glanced at eachother

" well, um – this morning Seamus… he just blew up or had a meltdown or something, cause he started yelling at all of us, we tried to calm him down but he was going crazy, he even attacked Tyler.

Ben, Ron and Harry are upstairs talking with him now" Dean said.

Donna and Ava just looked at each other " Why did he have a meltdown?" Donna said.

Tyler sighed " We don't know, but he was yelling about how it wasn't his fault and mentioned something about Malfoy" he said.

Ava blushed to herself and prayed that Seamus didn't say anything about her.

She looked up she saw Ron fuming and marching to their table with Harry close behind them.

The table shuddered as Ron sat down on his chair, Harry calmly took his seat next to him.

" That git!" Ron snarled " we try to help him but noooo, he goes off on us" Ron crossed his arms angrily and glared at nothing particular.

" What happened?" Dean asked.

" He just wanted to talk to Ben is all" Harry said. " And Ron you did get all up in his face, so you couldn't really blame him for turning on you" he said.

Ron glared at Harry " Why are you on his side? He has a temper of a giant, He just doesn't realize that I am trying to be a good friend and help him"

" Its not his fault, you don't know what happened to him" Ava said and glared at him. Ron turned on her " Oh and you do? He said.

Ava's face turned red. " just leave him alone, he already heard enough nagging from the teachers, he doesn't need to hear you whining, Ben is his best friend so he would rather talk to him than some oaf like you" she glared at him.

Ron glared back at her " What the hell is wrong with everyone today" he jumped up from his seat and stomped out of the Great Hall.

Everyone at the table stared at Ava. They had never seen her stick up for Seamus before.

" Um—Ava are you?- Never mind" Dean awkwardly trailed off. Ava was losing her patience " Yes I am perfectly fine!" she said " You guys just think that you know everything, but you know nothing! So why don't you just listen to Seamus and leave him alone" Ava said and soon got up from her chair leaving everyone looking confused.

She marched upstairs to the common room. When she entered her dorm she slammed the door shut and stopmed over to her bed. She took off her shoes and flopped on her mattress. Her pillow and mattress was soft and she curled up and thought about Seamus. What did he mean that night? That he only cared about one girl in the school. Was that girl herself? Is that why he told her?

As she thought about it, her heart began to race as she remembered that night, she wanted it to happen again so badly, she was so close to him. Her thoughts dawned on to Ben and Seamus's conversation. Was he telling him right now about that night? Most likely. Their best friends, Seamus tells Ben everything.

" Ava?"

Ava looked up from her bed. Donna peeked through the door. She walked toward the bed and sat on it. Ava groaned and turned on her stomach "Leave me alone, I don't want anyone here right now" she said.

Donna ignored her " Elaine wanted to come up too, but I told her later. So do you mind telling me what happened down there?" She asked.

Ava groaned again " What do you want me to tell you? I stuck up for Seamus, I am sick of Ron's whining, end of story" she said.

Donna sighed " No, not end of story. Do you know why Seamus is suspended?" she asked.

Ava looked at her " Do you?" she asked.

Donna rolled her eyes

" Stop trying to stall the conversation, now tell me why Seamus is suspended? Usually I wouldn't care if he was or not, but since you just yelled at Ron and pretty much all of your friends just a few minutes ago, it sounds like something has happened and since Seamus is most likely telling his best friend what happened, I think that being your best friend, I have a right to know"

Ava sighed. Then she sat up on her bed.

" Do you remember that night in Hogsmead, when I said that I went back to Hogwarts early?" Ava said.

Donna nodded.

" Well I didn't go back because I was tired like I said. There was a reason why I went back"

Donna opened her mouth to say something but Ava beat her to it. " Don't interrupt me, you wanted to know so now I am telling you" she said. Donna closed her mouth and nodded at Ava to continue.

" Well before I left I was sitting with Mary and Malfoy came"

Donna's expression suddenly looked worried.

"I stood up to him again and embarrassed him in front of everyone, and he dragged me outside to the back of Hogsmead, and I guess I was drinking a little too much cause I couldn't fight him off"

Ava paused then continued " Well he told me he let me off easy the first few times and that this time it wasn't going to be the case and he um—well he started to hit me, and I don't know how Seamus knew we were back there, I guess he saw him drag me outside, but he pulled Malfoy off me and he punched him until he was unconscious, and that's why Malfoy is in the hospital wing, he is recovering from the injuries that Seamus gave him"

" What happened after?" Donna asked.

Ava blushed and twirled a piece of her hair in her finger " Well after he brought Malfoy back the hospital wing, we went back to the common room and he was angry because he blamed himself for Malfoy hurting me"

Donna looked confused " But didn't he practically save you?" she said.

" That's what I told him!, I told him that he saved my life and that he should never blame himself, and then—" Ava stopped talking, she felt her face heat up.

Donna looked curious " What! What happened?" she said.

Ava coughed " Well lets just say that things got a little heated between us" she said, she could feel her whole face going red.

Donna gasped and clasped her hands over her mouth " You didn't go all the way did you!" she said.

Ava quickly shook her head " No- No we didn't do that, we were close but he stopped cause he said he didn't want to take advantage of me cause I was drinking"

Donna grinned " Awe, Ava he really cares about you, that's actually the sweetest thing I have ever heard, not many guys draw the line, especially when they are about to get laid" she said and grinned.

Ava blushed " yeah well don't go around telling everyone, I wanted to keep it a secret" she said and smiled.

Donna smiled" I won't I promise" she said. Then she frowned " Speaking of secrets when were you planning—"

" I was planning in a month or so" Ava interrupted. Donna nodded " alright" she said.

" But anyway, Seamus really cares about you Ava, and it seems like he really likes you, maybe you should consider—um going out with him" Donna said.

Ava looked mortified " No! I will never go out with him, I only kissed him that night because I was drunk and confused and scared and believe me it won't happen again!"

Donna smiled to herself " alright whatever you say"

" What? Why are you smiling?" Ava asked.

" No reason" Donna said, but Ava caught the smile that she was trying to hide.

Ava sighed " whatever, I'm going down the library" Ava said and got up from her bed.

"are you sure? You could always stay here and we could talk about Seamus" Donna said and winked

" Exactly why I am going down" Ava said and left the common room, grabbing her stuff on the way.

As she headed down he passed by many people heading upstairs,

" Where are you heading?"

Ava turned to see Neville halfway up the stairs carrying some sort of giant plant, he smiled at her.

" I am just going down to the library, would you like to come down with me?" she asked.

" Nah, I need to go and feed Lucy" he said and gestured to the plant " But thanks anyway, I will see you tomorrow" then he turned and walked into the common room.

Ava laughed, Lucy?, she shook her head and proceeded down to the library.

When she walked in the Library, Ms. Dunne the librarian was rearranging books on shelves, Ava ducked when a book went flying past her head. Ava walked over

" Hello Professor" Ava said and smiled. Ms Dunne looked down at her and a grin spread across her face

" Why hello dear, so nice to see you" she said " What can I do for you today?" she asked.

" Well I was just looking for a book on the potion called the ' sleeping draught' or something like that" Ava said

Professor Dunne smiled " Oh yes, that book would have been in the potion and spell section, but I believe that, that book was already taken out by another student"

Ava sighed, one of her classmates beat her to the book " Do you know who took it out?" she asked. Professor Dunne scratched her head " No, not that I recall, but come back tomorrow, maybe it will be back by then" she said and smiled.

" Okay thank you" Ava smiled and walked over to an empty table. She put her bag beside her and opened up her potions book.

For an hour Ava continuously worked on her Potions, Muggle Studies and her Astronomy. She didn't even noticed as the library quickly emptied as Dinner was starting soon. When she finally finished. She sighed and looked up, the library was completely empty. Even Professor Dunne was gone.

Shocked that she didn't notice anyone leaving, she packed up her books and started to head out of the Library, suddenly she felt very dizzy. "I must of got up too fast" she thought.

Suddenly sparks flew in front of her eyes and then everything was black.

When she opened her eyes, she was outside. She heard people screaming and there were crashing sounds all around her. What she saw made her want to die. There were people fighting against thousands of death eaters, and the death eaters were winning.

Ava watching in horror as one by one, people died. Not just any people, she saw people from her school, people that she knew. Her classmates, teachers, parents, all getting killed or tortured. She saw Professor Lupin getting tortured by a death eater. Ava started running towards him, when a cold hand wrapped around her wrist.

Ava turned and what she saw made her scream. A snake was holding her. No nose, slits for eyes, his voice sounded like a snake. It was Voldemort.

" Come" he said and dragged her screaming into a house. He threw her on the floor, and walked over to a boy standing by a chair.

Ava recognized the boy. Even though he was much taller, maybe around the age of 16 or 17, he was good looking and pale. It was her son.

He bowed to Voldemort " Master, we brought what you wanted" he said. Voldemort patted his shoulder softly. " Well done my boy" he said. Then he yelled across the room. " Bring them in"

Ava looked towards the door and her eyes grew wide as she saw what the death eaters dragged into the room.

It was Donna, Elaine, Hermione, Stacey and Mary.

Blindfolds covered their eyes and they were gagged. Ava cried.

One by one the death eaters ripped the blindfolds and gags off of their prisoners. They gasped when they could breath properly, and their eyes went wide when they saw Ava.

" Ava!" screamed Donna.

Ava tried to run over to them but failed miserably as a death eater caught her halfway.

" Please! Don't hurt them, I will do anything!" Ava cried. Voldemort ignored her

" I see you have done half of what I asked" he said to his son " You brought back only the girls, but where are the boys?" he asked chillingly

"Boys?" Ava thought, it finally occurred to her that he was talking about, Ben, Ron, Tyler, Seamus and them. Where was Harry?

" They are already dead master, we tried to bring them in but they already took down a few of our own, they wouldn't give in, we had no choice but to kill them and take what was left" Ava's son said.

Lord Voldemort smiled, but Ava saw a glint in his eye. " Maybe you did have no choice but to kill them, but I didn't say at the last minute kill them did I? I told you to bring them all back, you did not follow my orders"

Ava's son looked nervous " No I did not, I am sorry" he said.

Lord Voldemort smiled " Sorry isn't good enough is it?" he said.

Ava knew what he was going to do before he did it. She pushed off the death eater holding her " Wait! Don't hurt him!" she yelled. But it was too late.

Voldemort pointed his wand at his son, and suddenly the boy's face squished into pain and he fell on his knees shaking.

Ava cried " Stop it! Stop it!" she yelled.

Lord Voldemort looked away from the boy, and walked toward her. Suddenly she went flying into the wall behind her. Her head pounded.

" Stop! Stop it please!" she heard someone yell. It was Elaine.

Lord Voldemort smiled and walked over to the girls " I almost forgot about you" he whispered chillingly.

Then he looked at Ava who was still on the ground trying to breathe. " Now which one of your little friends should I kill first?" he whispered.

Ava looked at them. Tears were streaming down Hermiones face, Mary was curled up in a ball. Elaine and Donna glared at Voldemort, but there was a frightened look in their eyes, Stacey on the other hand was looking at Voldemort as if daring him to come at them.

Voldemort grabbed Elaine by her red locks and pulled her up by her hair. Elaine gasped in pain.

" I will ask you once, if you don't answer me, I will make sure you never speak again, now tell me, are all of your little boyfriends dead?"

Elaine looked like she was going to cry " Y- yes, yes they are all dead"

Voldemort smiled at her " I can see a lie in your eyes, take her down to the dungeons, I will give her a little visit later" he said.

Ava saw a death eater walk up to Elaine, he grabbed her and dragged her off. Though she till felt dizzy, Ava stood up and attempted to run after Elaine but was stopped when she felt someone slap her. Her head was pounding again, but the pain was 10 times worse then the last time.

She heard someone else scream, and looked up to see Hermione dangling in the air. Voldemorts hand was on her throat.

" You were Potter and Red heads little helper weren't you?" he said. Hermione didn't say anything.

" Very Well, Nagini!" he called. Hermione's eyes grew wide when she saw the snake approach her. Voldemort whispered to the snake in Parsalt Tounge, then he dropped Hermione on the floor and the snake slithered over to her where he wrapped itself around her foot and slithered off out the door. Hermione screamed as she was dragged out.

Ava wanted to help, she tried to get up but she couldn't, her body wouldn't let her.

" Take the other two away" he heard Voldemort whisper.

When Ava looked up she saw that Donna was the only one left in the room. Ava and Donna locked eyes, both sobbing.

Voldemort walked up to Ava and grabbed her arm, and pulled her over to where Donna was laying.

" You two are bestfriends aren't you?" Voldemort whispered to Ava, but just loud enough for Donna and a few death eaters close enough to them to hear. Ava and Donna didn't say anything, they just stared at eachother.

Voldemort let Ava crash onto the floor, then he glided over to Donna and grabbed her face.

" If you aren't best friends, then I guess you wouldn't care if I killed her right now?" he said.

" If you hurt her I will kill you!" Ava screamed. Voldemort laughed coldly and let go of Donna. Donna wasted no time to yell at him.

" You bastard! You sick, awful, ugly disgusting bastard! If you hurt Ava or anyone else I will make sure that you will die a slow death!" she yelled

Voldemort just laughed again. Then he raised his wand and pointed it at Donna. Donna continued screaming insults at him

Tears poured down Ava's face " NO"

A bright green light blinded her

Ava woke up screaming. She looked around, she was laying on the library floor. Ava gasped for breath. Never out of all the dreams she had, had ever been so long and detailed.

When she saw the people around her staring, she knew that all of it was a dream, being alone in the library, Donna dying.

She looked around. Luckily most of the people in the Library were first and second years, so they didn't know Ava too well. Unfortunately, Dean, Ben, Tyler, Elaine, Mary and Donna were standing a few feet away staring at her wide eyed and mouths open. Ava was drenched with sweat. Where was Professor Dunne?

She felt a light hand on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Donna looking at her with soft eyes. Ava's eyes began to pool with tears as she remembered the memory of Donna dying. Seeing the look on her face Donna called Elaine and Mary over, and they helped her up. Not being use to Ava having an attack, Tyler and Ben just stood there, looking at her in complete shock.

Donna, Elaine and Mary pulled Ava through the crowed and started towards the common room. Ava still felt dizzy, she didn't even notice them walking her out of the library. She was too busy trying to stay in the real world.

She heard Donna whisper to Mary, and then it was just Elaine and Donna.

Next thing she knew she was lying on her bed. Tears pouring down her face. Donna was sitting on the bed, staring at her. She felt something cool on her forehead. She looked up and saw Elaine setting a washcloth on her head.

" Where's Mary?" Ava croaked

" Shh, I just told her to tell Dean, Ben and Tyler that your okay" Donna said.

Ava looked up at Donna " Donna I-" Donna cut her off " I know, I'm sorry"

Ava shook her head " No, I saw worse, I saw you dying" she said.

Donna froze. Elaine looked between them " Can you please tell me what is going on?" she asked.

Donna looked at Ava, who nodded " Yeah, I think its time to tell everyone what is going on" she said.
