It was hard to get on with my life after Malfoy broke up with me. My breakup spread around school just as fast as Harry's relationship with Ginny. People I never talked to start to give me support saying 'Malfoy's evil' and 'He was never right for you'. It helped a little, knowing that people cared for me, but I still had this feeling in my gut that Malfoy wasn't as bad as he seems.

Taylor was the one who surprised me the most. Being Draco Malfoy's cousin, I thought she would side with him, but right after she heard what happened, she came right to me. She even gave him the silent treatment. I've heard from a couple of Slytherins that there have been some times when Malfoy actually begs for Taylor to talk to him, saying that she's the only one who understands him. She just turns away. Taylor also just played one of the most amazing pranks on Malfoy not too long ago.

Everyone in the whole entire school knows how much Malfoy cherishes his hair. He won't go anywhere if even one strand is out of place. I'm sitting in the Great Hall with Allie, eating breakfast. It's about mid-morning, so most of the student body is here, except for a select group of Slytherins. Malfoy and Taylor are two of them. I have heard a rumor that Taylor and Malfoy got into a pretty nasty fight over me and Taylor told him to straighten out his priorities. As Taylor walks in the Great Hall with a huge smile plastered on her face, I'm peaked with interest. She gives me a quick smile and nods toward the doors before quietly sitting at the Slytherin table and picking out food to eat.

I look over just as the doors are slammed open and Draco Malfoy strolls in with his confident air, or whom I think is Draco Malfoy. Someone (I'm suspecting Taylor) has spelled his perfectly taken care of blond hair to be half red, half gold, or as we like to call it, Gryffindor colors. Not only that, but his hair is sitting up all over the place and there is a huge blinking sign over top of his head stating "Gryffindor! # 1!"

The whole Great Hall turns to look at him as I let out a gasp. The Hall turns completely silent, taking in the whole scene.

"What are you all staring at? Do I have a hair out of place?" Malfoy asks, being sick of all the staring.

This is all it takes for the whole Hall to start bursting out laughing, even the teachers. I can't help but giggling.

"What? Someone tell me what's so funny!" Malfoy screams over all of the laughter.

Finally Professor Snape walks over to Malfoy and produces a mirror for him. Everyone hushes down to watch his reaction. At first Malfoy doesn't understand why he was just handed a mirror. One look into the mirror and everything changes. His face turns ash white and his silver eyes flash with anger I haven't seen in a while. His cheeks become bright red with anger as Allie shouts, "That's a nice look for you, Malfoy!"

"TAYLOR!" Malfoy screams at the top of his lungs.

Everyone starts laughing again as Taylor just shrugs at him. Malfoy storms out of the hall in a huff. As my eyes catch Taylor's, she gives me a smile and a nod acknowledging that she is with me through and through.

Now here I am, sitting in the Great Hall once more. Great friends surround me as the 6th year comes closer to an end. I sigh as I realize that in only two short days Hogwarts will be attacked, Dumbledore will die, and everything will change. Taylor, Allie, and I have discussed what we want to do and have decided we are coming back to Hogwarts next year. Someone needs to protect the little kids. The only problem with that is that it's going to be a year without Harry and Ron, not to mention Malfoy. I sigh once more and grab my things. I tell everyone that I need to grab some books I left in my room. I head out the doors, needing time alone to think.

I wander around the school, thinking of everything that has happened through all of my years here. I go outside, needing some fresh air and I wander over to the Quidditich pitch. I notice that someone else is there. I can't tell who it is because they have their hood up and is staring into space. It looks like they're drowning in their thoughts as well. I figure I might as well go and talk to them. Everyone needs to talk every once in a while.

I gently tap them on their shoulder. "Hey, do you need someone to talk to?"

I notice that they cringe under my touch and as they turn to face me, I gasp.

"Draco…I mean Malfoy! I'm sorry. I'll be leaving."

I see that he has fixed his hair. My heart sinks as I look into his stone-cold face. It's been fine not having to talk to him and always being around friends in hallways and classes. Now, being alone with him, memories of us start flooding back to me. I turn away, getting ready to leave, as turns start to form in my eyes.

"Cohen…Rachel…" He says softly, as he puts his hand on my arm, stopping me from going.

I feel the tingling sensation as his skin touches mine. I shiver a little before remembering what his touch truly means. I remember all of the horrible things he did and said to me. My sorrow quickly turns into anger and I shake off his hand. I turn around to him with a stern face.

"What is it Malfoy?" I bark at him.

I see his emotions flicker through his eyes as he sputters.

"I…I mean…I miss…"

Then just as quickly, I see the infamous Malfoy mask of indifference take hold of him.

"Nothing, Cohen. Now why don't you take your Gryffindork self and piss off?"

I hold back my hurt and anger, feeling the need to hit him. I stare him straight in the eyes before giving him a smirk. I leave a stunned Draco Malfoy behind me. He can never lie to me. His eyes say everything. He still loves me.
