A/N: Yes, I know it's has been a thousand years since I last update. Don't know what to tell you and too lazy to think of any excuse (because I don't have one). So, er, deal with it because that's what I do!

Important note: Please, keep in mind that English is far from my main used language, so my everything-English-related is far from perfect. It was self-taught anyway, so please forgive me (and bear me) for all the mistake (grammar, vocabulary, expression and such).

A/N 2: Unbeta'd.

Previously...

While they listen to Heley talk, Blaise was in deep reflection. He looked at Heley, who was now listening to Hermione talking about something. He was happy for Heley's situation. Hermione had forgiven her despite the lie. Hermione was too happy to find back her friend to held grudge toward Heley. However, Blaise wondered if that person would be as lenient as Hermione was.

'How would Draco react if he knew... considering his feelings for her?'

"If he knew he had fallen for his arch-enemy, I wonder who would he react?"

Blaise wasn't blind. He knew Draco had feelings for Heley. At the beginning of this school year, Draco was attracted to the black hair girl for a reason Blaise wasn't quite sure about. Draco was attracted to the new girl just like he was to the Boy-Who-Was-Not-Here-Anymore. He knew Draco was conflicted when Professor Slughorn had partnered him with her. On one side, he knew Draco was worried to be too close with her. He couldn't shake off the strong impression he had for her the first time he saw on the Hogwarts Express. He still couldn't shake off that deep attraction she had on him. At the same time, he suspected couldn't suppress the happy feeling which was warming his heart. He saw Draco fight to not let his lips smile after seeing his name matched with Heley Potter on the black board.

"But being a Malfoy, everything must be Malfoy-ishly done," Blaise rolled his eyes.

Of course the blond pure blood's demeanor would not reveal anything of his true thinking!

"Really, it wouldn't hurt to act non-pure-blood-edly once a while!" Blaise added.

At the same time, Draco and him didn't miss the worried (and maybe a displeasure?) written across her face to see her name matched with the Slytherin Head Boy. Only Blaise knew—because of his closeness with Draco—that Draco must had felt a twig in his heart and he had quickly erased that (maybe wrong) impression. Heley Potter never met Draco Malfoy before.

"Hum... Except on Hogwarts Express, she doesn't us well enough to bear any harsh feelings toward him."

But now, with this... this blatant huge revelation...

"Now, I understand why she bears such hard feelings toward him, considering her past experience with him while she was under another name. She has all the right in the world to be... displeased to see herself being partnered with Draco Malfoy."

Though, it didn't change that she was also in fault. To hide such a big secret. Really!

"Now Heley, what about Draco?" Blaise asked.

"W-What do you mean?"

"Well, don't you think that you should tell him about this?"

"NO!" Heley yelled in panic.

"..." Blaise stared at Heley in the eyes, in her scared eyes. In a way, he understood why she was scared at the perspective to tell Draco about her previous identity, but...

"Heley, you know I am his best friend. And to tell the truth, this is something he has the right to know. And something I don't have the right to hide from him. The perspective to hide an information he is linked to (so deeply linked too he mentally added) made me feel guilty and I don't like this feeling. Heley, I don't think I can keep such a secret from him..." Blaise said in a very serious tone. Heley chewed her lips.

"I... I..." Heley hesitated.

"Heley..." Hermione said, but didn't interfere for her friend's defense. She too felt that Draco deserved to know the truth.

"Heley, Blaise is right. Draco must know about your secret. You cannot hide it from him," Neville said gently. Heley felt suddenly very cold. Even Hermione and Neville agreed with Blaise.

"Heley, if you don't do it, then probably I will... for he is my friend," Blaise said. "He deserves to know the true because he is very involved with Harry Potter... and with you."

'Especially with you, whom he has so strong feelings. He loves you, his ex-arch-enemy,' Blaise finished in his head. Heley bleached, panicked.

"NO! Please, don't!"

"Then what do you want me to do? Draco deserves to know about it." Blaise insisted again. Heley bite her lips.

"I... I will tell him myself."

Heley was alone by the lake, looking at the silent water. She was thinking about the conversation she had in the Room of Required. She was thinking about the messy situation she brought upon herself with Draco Malfoy.

"Draco Malfoy... Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter... Harry Potter!"

The last word she said before leaving the Room of Requirement replayed in her head.

"I... I will tell him myself..."

"Argh..." Heley groaned and buried her head in her knees. What took her to blurt such a blow? Heley was angry at herself for that. "I can't! I really can't! What am I going to do? What should I do? Please help me!"

Never, never had she imagined that even in dead, Harry Potter cannot have peace. She must have screwed up very badly her past life (not the past life as Harry Potter but the past life before the birth of Harry Potter) to deserve this in this life! Come to think about it, she DID screw up Harry Potter's life... so maybe this is the punishment granted upon her by the deities up there...

But then, chewing of her own self wasn't exactly a very bright thing to do. She diverted her mind on other topic, such as about the problem she has to face. Eventually. And a very fast eventually.

"Draco Malfoy..."

Even though she/Harry wasn't close to the pure blood Slytherin Head Boy, she knew he wasn't someone who could committed a cold-blooded murder or intentionally bring arms to anyone.

"..." No, that didn't sound right. He was a prick to Harry Potter and his friend before the war.

What Heley meant was the Draco Malfoy, despite being a prick, could never bring real arm at the point of destroying a person life to anyone with a real destruction motivation.

He was commissioned to kill Professor Dumbledor but he didn't kill do it when he had the chance. When Harry, Ron and Hermione were captured and taken to the Malfoy Manor, he had without a doubt recognized them despite their disguise, but only gave an elusive answer when he was asked to identify them. It was a small lie, a small Malfoy-ish lie, but it had save Harry's, Ron's and Hermione's life.

Come to think about it, Draco Malfoy didn't have a choice to follow the directives to kill Dumbledore or report Harry's friend. Voldemort was holding his parents' life above his head like a Damocles sword. Really, Draco Malfoy wasn't that bad this year. He was polite to everyone, even to Hermione. He was even nice, like when he gave back Neville's pot planted instead of breaking it when he had a chance. He was no longer a bullier. Sure he being her guardian wasn't her pumpkin juice at all, but she admitted that he wasn't that bad either.

But revealing to him the link between Harry Potter and Heley Potter...

"..." Heley's mind stopped working.

Heley didn't want to reveal Harry Potter to Draco Malfoy because they were arch-enemy, but also...

"But also..."

"But also I don't want to see him being disappointed because of me..."

"..." Heley blinked. "Wait! Why would I be scare that he would be disappointed by me? That sound prosperous! I don't have a reason to be scare about that..." Yet, she felt a small sting in her heart.

"It is because you have feelings for him..." a little voice inside her told her.

Heley paled. Now, that had never been planned on her Heley-life schedule. This... this thing... would mess up the life she had drawn ahead for herself. No. She cannot face him. She cannot see him. She DOESN'T want to see him. Not with this sudden (absolutely weird and prosperous) heart revelation.

She would hide away. She HAD to hide away. She would bide her time to remain her mind that SHE was the master of her own mind and not the mind being her master. She just had to escape away in other to complete this new task she set for herself. Now.

Suddenly, some strange feeling came to her. It was an intuition. A bad intuition. A dark omen. Her heart beat became frantic. She panicked. She had to go away. FAST.

"Why again?"

Who cared!? She HAD to run away. And NOW! Run first, think later! She sprang up to start the muscle engine in her legs.

"Heley," a voice behind her stopped her. Heley's heart froze, stopping its frantic beating.

Heley turned around to face with silver-blue eyes looking straight at her. So that was the bad intuition she felt... There, in front of her, was standing the person she didn't want to see before... before some fifty years and more. There, hovering her was the tall silhouette of the one person she was not ready to face right now because of this ridiculous new... strange idea her inner voice whispered to her a minute ago. There, was standing Harry Potter's ex-arch-enemy... and Heley Potter's new friend. Draco Malfoy.

"Heley, may I speak with you a moment, please?"

Heley's face drained off color.

"Oh no! Did I really screw up THAT bad my previous life and my previous previous life?"
