Thank you every one for the sweet reviews! Sorry it took me so long to update i was out of town but im back and i'll try to update at least once every day or two!

this is a short chapter! just warning you now (:

Skylar knocked softly on the door leading to Dumbeldore's study.

"Come in." Came Dumbledore's kind voice from the other side.

"Ahh Miss Emerson."

"Good evening." Skylar said walking towards Dumbeledore's desk where he sat with his phoenix Fawkes perched on his shoulder.

"Glad you came. Have a seat."

Skylar sat down, hoping this wouldn't take to long.

"Care for a licorice snap?" He asked gesturing towards the gold bowl filled with wrigginlgly black sweets.

"Oh, no thank you."

"Perhaps for the best." He said popping a few in his mouth at a time. "They're a wee bit sharp."

"Anyways, its nice to see you back, how are you?"

"Oh I'm alright." She said with a bit of a forced smile, she wasn't really in the mood for a friendly chat, she was tired and nervous for classes tomarow and wanted to get a good nights sleep for the first time in months.

"Enjoying being back at Hogwarts?" He smiled at her from behind his half moon glasses.

"Yes. Its great to be back and to see everyone again." Skylar said immediately thinking of George.

"I don't want to keep you long, just wanted to let you know that your grandmother has made both Professor Mcgonagall and I aware of your situation."

Skylar nodded.

"And I understand that it is your grandmother who is helping you out while your finishing up school."

"Yes, my grandmother is taking care of her. She lives in a small village just out side of Hogsmeade, so I was hoping that I could-"

"Yes of course, of course, accommodations have been made for you to visit on any weekend you like. I'm sure its hard being away but I have the utmost faith that you'll do just fine this year." He said. "Oh and as for your classes since you missed your 6th year, you will have to take one or two extra N.E.W.T level classes aloung with your usual 7th year coursess, which should'nt be much trouble for a student with your marks."

Skylar nodded. "No that shouldn't be any trouble at all." Skylar said, she had missed those late night study sessions with Hermoine.

Dumbeldore smiled kindly, and stiffeled a yawn.

Skylar took that as her cue to leave. She stood up from the chair. "Well thank you Professor."

"Yes of course." He said also standing up. "I suppose both of us should be heading to bed."

Skylar nodded. "Good night Professor!" She called as she headed out the door.

Skylar walked down the dimly lit corridor, dragging her feet. It couldn't have been past 9, but she already felt ready to get to bed. She yawned loudly as she turned the corner, bumping right into someone's chest.

"Watch where yo-"Began Draco, he cut himself off realizing exactly who he had ran into.

"Sorry."Skylar said, blushing lightly under Dracos lustfull gaze. Memories of the two of them flooded back to her.

"No problem at all." He said with his classic smirk.

Skylar wished she could just keep walking back to the common room and go snuggle into her big comfy bed and get a good nights sleep and avoid conversation with Draco, but at time she wanted to be right were she was, with Draco Malfoy.

"So its true you dropped out last year? Not to avoid me I hope..." Draco mused, leanig casually against the wall.

"Yeah, but I'm back now. And no, it wasn't to avoid you, though it was a plus." Skylar teased, also leanning against the wall, partly because she was tired, but mainly so she could see Draco's mysterious blue-grey eyes she loved so much.

Draco chuckeled. "And you've come back becuase you could'nt stand not seeing me?"

Skylar rolled her eyes. "Always so cocky Draco."

"You can't say you didn't miss me."

"Maybe a littel." Skylar said looking up and meeting Draco's eyes.

"Good. I deffinatly missed you." He said leaning a big closer.

Skylar smiled hesitantly hoping he wasn't about to kiss her. Draco Malfoy always knew how to complicate things.

"I've go to be heading to bed. It's late."

"Right..."

"I'll see you tommarow?"

"Yeah. Good night Sky." Draco said watching her walking back down the hall.
