AN: Sorry it's so short, but it's just a prologue about the major evetbefore the story.

SUMMARY: It's been six years since Phoenix had last seen the one who tore her down, and it was hard to deal with. Now that she's 23 and has her life on track, she's putting her family first by getting a job with the Quibbler after she quits her ministry job, and is the maid of honor at her sister's wedding. But when an unexpected guest arrives, Phoenix's feelings go on a turn...

DISCLAIMER: I don dot, and never will, own Harry potter. the only character that belongs to me is Phoenix. The rest belongs to JKR. :)

It was a cold night for Phoenix Lovegood. She felt the cool breeze of her neck as she watched from afar. It wasn't meant to be, she didn't want him to go. He was her only friend. He was like a counterpart.

Many times she questioned, 'How could he like a person as soft as me?' She was a nice person, but she found the bitch living in her as soon as the hat screamed her house out. She was very nasty. The friends she had in her childhood had left, aside from Seamus, Neville and Luna.

She finally caught up to him. Holding onto his shoulder, she panted heavily from all the running she had done.

"Draco... You can't leave with the Death Eaters. I have no one else to turn to! Please... Jus stay here... with us", she said. He immediately took her hand off his shoulder.

"I have to do it. He chose me", His voice, sounding cold, as she and he locked eyes. This was it. She might as well say it.

"But... I..." She didn't have the guts to. She was too much of a coward. She was at the verge of tears. She hated crying in front of people. It was showing weakness.

"Spit it", He sneered. She shook at his cold tone.

"I love you", she sighed, wiping her eyes. He stood in front of her. Frozen. Then, he walked away.

She immediately ran to the Ravenclaw Common room, to talk to the one person who could cheer her up.

That was 6 years ago. And she was almost over it, up until now.
