instead of heading straight towards the castle, decided to go and take a walk around the black lake to try and clear my head of everything that had just happened. i had no idea where the Cullens were but i figured that they had made it out alright because the Death Eaters only needed them to get me and since they got me, well…had me, they would most likely let them go. I knew that i needed to go and see Draco, tell him that I am back, but I didn't want to see him right now. He had connections with the Death Eaters, even if he didn't want to, and I wanted nothing to do with them right now so I wanted nothing to do with Draco.

"Hayley! wait up!" I heard someone screaming from behind me.I turned around to see Harry running towards me.

"What do you want Harry?" I asked him as i waited for him to catch up to me, and as soon as he got close enough, continued walking around the Black Lake.

"I wanted to talk about what happened back in Forks…and about you and Draco…" I could tell he was nervous that i would kill him when he mentioned the last part. He knew that i liked Draco and didn't want to upset me anymore then he already had. I sighed as i stopped walking and turned towards him.

"what about it?"

"well….umm…i didn't mean to upset you back in Forks…" he said to me which shocked me. Harry was never one to actually apologize of stuff like that.

"its fine." i mumbled. i saw him nod before continuing.

Also, i know you like Draco and i just wanted you to know that i-"

"you don't need to worry about Draco, Harry. You were right all along. I overheard some Death Eaters talking when i was still in my cell and….Draco is…well…he is playing all of us. He was never under the imperious curse like he told me he was. this whole nice boy thing is just an act to so that Voldemort can get us. Thats why the Cullens were called to Italy. Draco set it up!" i yelled at him tears now falling from my eyes. Harry didn't say anything. He held in his anger and promised himself he would kill Malfoy later as he came over to me and wrapped his arms around me in a hug.

Draco's Point of View

"you failed to let me know of her strength Draco." Voldemort said with anger in his voice as Draco kneeled at his feet.

"i'm sorry master. i didn't know about it." Draco responded in a weak voice. he was trying to gather up all the courage he had to talk to his lord with confidence but was failing and showing everyone just how scared of the Dark Lord he truly was.

"that is no excuse. CRUCIO!" Draco withered in pain as Death Eaters around him smirked at him knowing that this was what he deserved for failing the dark lord. "i should kill you right now for failing me, but we need someone on the inside. the next time you fail me, i guarantee you will die though." Voldemort said as he lifted the curse off of him and waved his hand, sending Draco back to Hogwarts, shocking all the Death Eaters. no one knew just how much Power Voldemort had truly gained until he had done that.

Harry's Point of VIew

I knew that Draco was just playing with Hayley's mind. there was no way he was under the imperious curse for five years without breaking it at some point, but i obviously couldn't tell Hayley 'I told you so'. Not when she was crushed like this. i guided her towards the castle with my arm around her shoulder. She stopped as soon as we got to the doors leading to the entrance hall.

"Thanks for everything Harry." she said to me as she hugged me. the next thing i knew she was gone. i shook my head as i realized that she had used her speed to go god knows where. I walked into the doors and into the Great Hall, seeing as it was now time for dinner and went and sat down between Ron and Hermione.

"Harry! where have you been?" Hermione asked me as i sat down.

"i had to do something with Hayley." i said. my mind was elsewhere. i was looking through the Slytherin table looking for the little prick who hurt my sister.

"what are you doing Mate?" Ron asked me with his mouth full of food causing Hermione to glare at him.

"Looking for Malfoy." they could tell by the sound of my voice that something was wrong and stopped trying to talk to me. i figure they will bother me about it when we are in the Common Room late at night like we always are, talking, but right now, they knew it was not the time nor the place to be asking questions because you never know who is listening. I finally gave up ignoring my food and stopped looking for Malfoy, i would get to him when no one was around for proof that it was actually me who will kill him.

Hayley's Point of View.

i left Harry and went up to the common room without anyone seeing me. I climbed onto my bed and pulled the hangings around my bed, pulling the locket out from underneath my pillow. i looked at both sides of the locket, one being a picture of mum and dad, and the other having the note. A single tear fell from my eye as i closed it and put the locket around my neck, hiding it underneath my robes. Looking at the clock, i saw that it was dinner time, but couldn't risk going into the Great Hall just incase Draco was there. i sighed as i rummaged in my trunk for emergency candy stash. I had three Pillow cases's full of all types of candy. i smiled as i started eating through each bag.

Harry's Point of View

i was roaming the corridors around midnight, after telling Hermione, Ron, and Ginny everything, when i finally found Draco Malfoy. without thinking i ran right towards him and tackled him to the ground, he didn't even see it coming. I punched him nearly twenty times before getting up. He was laying on the ground helpless…something else had weakened him besides my beating.

"Never go near my sister again you filthy piece of Scum!" i yelled at him before kicking his side one last time before i pulled out my wand and cast a spell so that he wouldn't remember who did that to him so that i wouldn't get into trouble, and walked away back towards the common room.
