A/N: I'm not too sure what i think about this chapter... I was messaging my friend Catherine on skype, but only for the second half (the part with Draco), but I probably could have done better...
Enjoy ;-)
Chapter 33 – Forgive and Forget
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco were all very busy with their OWLs so Larissa didn't see much of them, she wished that she had spent more time with her friends in her year, but she hadn't and now she was paying the price. She spent a lot of time in the library, and up in her dorm, playing with the kittens, she was in the library at the moment, and she was doing her foot of parchment essay for charms.
She put her quill down, on the table and put away her things, she then walked slowly back to the Gryffindor common room, she saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione studying, by the looks of things, Ron was reluctant but Hermione was making him, so she waved to Harry, and went up the stairs and into her dorm.
She came in the door, and saw Amelia stroking the kittens, Snowbelle leapt off of the bed, to come and greet her mistress, and Amelia turned around, seeing Snowbelle go over to the door.
'Sorry, I was just-' She began
'Don't worry about it.' Larissa replied, she sat on her bed, and pulled Snowbelle onto her lap, and stroked her.
'You can still stroke them if you like,'
'Thanks,' Amelia, went back over to the kittens, and began to fuss the kittens, as they purred and mewed.
Larissa opened her mouth to say something but closed it again, which didn't go unnoticed by Amelia.
'What is it?' she asked,
'Nothing,'
'I miss the DA, do you?' Amelia asked, breaking the silence
'Like you wouldn't believe, it gives us something to look forward to, and makes you feel like your actually making a difference. Now what have we got to look forward to?'
'I dunno, at least we're more prepared than we were before anyway.'
Larissa smiled, it seemed like she was getting somewhere with Amelia,
'So, how's Matt?'
'Fine, why wouldn't he be?'
'Over that now then are you?'
'What? Oh, um no.' Amelia blushed slightly, Larissa just smirked.
'How're the others?'
'Fine, we're all missing you I guess,'
'Then why did they-'
'We were all kind of hurt by you only hanging out with us when Harry, Ron, Hermione, or Draco weren't available.'
'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-'
'It's okay, you should just talk to them.'
Larissa nodded, and got up, followed by Amelia, she went down to the common room, in search of Matthew, Will, Emily, and Catherine. Larissa soon saw them sitting in a corner talking, they soon stopped once they saw Larissa.'
'Listen, guys, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I just got wrapped up in everything else.'
They looked at her for a moment, and Will was the first to speak, 'It's okay Lissa, we did kind of over react.'
She sat down with them, and soon it was as if nothing had happened.

It was nearly dinner time, when the whole of Gryffindor common room fell completely and utterly silent. You could hear the individual breathing of each person, and no one was moving, they were all just staring at the portrait hole. Larissa turned around to look, and her eyes widened, sure she had done the same, but she never would have thought that he would do this.
Draco Malfoy was standing just inside the Gryffindor common room.
Larissa got up, and went over to him, it was clear from the looks that people were giving her, that they thought that she had told him the password.
'How'd you get in?' She asked
'Overheard a few first years coming in.' He took her hand and pulled her out of the common room so fast that she only had time to throw an apologetic look at her friends.
He pulled her down the corridor, and then they went up to the Astronomy tower.
'Draco! What are you doing?' she asked, rubbing her wrist
'I haven't gotten to spend any time with you my pet,'
'Draco, you should be studying, for your OWLs, I don't want you to fail because of me.'
'I won't, and I have plenty of time,'
'The exams, are next week!'
'The end of next week,'
She looked at him incredulously, and ran back to the Gryffindor common room, leaving him there without another say in the matter.
