DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter, which is lame! I don't own the lyrics either! My life is lame! They're The Rasmus' and the song is called No Fear!

F**kers it's settled
All the train came trippin
g thru the station
This mad hatter he was beaming at me
You cool cat
You think that you know me
I'm not the same person that i used to be
Your cards dealt your playing them wrong boy
And there's a few things that you need to know
I took the elevator up to the top
And i followed that rabbit all down the hole

I saw McGonagall out of the corner of my eye and yes, she was smiling at me. Not a tight, thin-lipped smile, no. It was a huge, teeth-showing smile. She was proud of me, and quite frankly, I was proud of me too! I had shown someone that I didn't even know that they weren't going to tell me what to do and who I could hang out with. "I'm proud of you, Acacia Lestrange. You have no idea," she said, walking out of the room with me.

"How hard do you think she is going to be to turn around?" I asked a smile on my own lips.

"What do you mean?"

"How long do you think it will be until she sees my side of things?" McGonagall nodded and thought for a little while.

"I think that it will be over the length of your life!"

I nodded and followed her to Defense Against the Dark Arts. I was excited to tell my friends about what had happened, but was a little scared that they would make fun of me for having to go talk to her. But then McGonagall stopped, looking serious now. "I don't want you to tell your friends about this meeting," she said, her face straight.

"Why not, Professor?" I asked my excited fizzling with eleven words.

"Because I don't want this to spread like wildfire through the school. It must be a quiet transition. The Weasley's, Teddy and Aspen may know that you are going to live with the Malfoy's, but they must keep it quiet and they must be the only ones!" she said, gripping my shoulders. I nodded and hung my head. "I know that this must be hard for you, but it is the way things must be. This won't be the end of your relationship with Fred, James and Aspen, I will make sure of that. But you might need to tone it down over the summer."

"But wait! This means that I won't get to see any of my orphan friends again!" I said, exasperatedly. McGonagall nodded and wrote out a note quickly.

"Give this to your teacher. Have a nice day, Lestrange!"

"You too, professor!"

I told my self i believed it
But who was i kidding
Out of these eyes i could see it
But it's all a lie the end is near i can feel it
Ya it's coming around but know there's no doubt it's settled
And there's no no way out no way out

I walked into Defense Against the Dark Arts and handed the note to professor Stells and took my seat next to a Slytherin boy. I had never seen him before, but it was the only empty seat, other than next to Raine and I was not going to sit next to her! He looked over and smiled. "Hi, I'm Dalton Ellis. I guess we're DADA partners this year," he smiled with dark green eyes and a mop of long blond hair.

"Acacia Lestrange, but you probably knew that already," I laughed, running my fingers through my long hair. He laughed and then pulled out a piece of parchment paper. "We're supposed to be taking notes, aren't we?" Dalton smiled and nodded, scratching on his paper furiously with his quill pen.

Professor Stells was talking in his monotone voice and he looked up when I said that. "Why yes, Miss Lestrange, we are to be taking notes to succeed in this class. But some people wouldn't know that because of their heritage would they?" he said harshly. I felt a blush creeping up my neck and looked down at my paper. Dalton smiled at me and shrugged.

"Don't worry. He's just jealous because everyone knows who you are, and not who he is," he said, trying to keep laughter out of his voice.

"Yeah. What a wonderful thing it is to be known because of your mother and not because of your own deeds," I said maliciously. Dalton's eyes widened and he set down his quill.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that everyone here knows who I am because of what my mother did and not because of what I know!"

"Isn't that how everyone's life is?" he asked knowingly.

"I guess."

"Exactly. Think of Harry Potter. He was known because his parents died, not because he was just a regular kid."

I opened my mouth to reply, but the bell rang at the moment, signifying the time to go to Potions.

Switch got me caught up in a twister
I'm skipping all down that yellow brick road
I said to the tin man sorry can't help ya
They ripped my heart out long time ago
And now i'm feeling like the cowardly lion
I wanna break out but i'm paralized
The yellow bricks led me staright to the wizard
He said it's all your state of mind

I told myself i believed it
But who was i kidding
Out of these eyes i could see it
But it's all a lie
The end is near i can feel it
Ya it's comin around
But now there's no doubt it's setteled

And there's no no way out
And there's no no way out
And there's no no way out
And now there's no doubt it's settled
And there's no no way out
No way out ya oh oh oh

I told myself i believed it
But who was i kidding
Out of these eyse i could see it
But it's all a lie
The end is near i can feel it
It's comin around and now there's no doubt it's settled
There's no no way out

Now there's no way no way out x3
