Disclaimer: From the wizarding world of Harry Potter, I would like to thank JK Rowling for unknowing letting me used her characters and the wizarding world in which she imagined. I own nothing of her characters, but from my petty fanfiction, I do own Mia and a few minor characters I have created. The character Lindsay is not of my creation but my friend who I played countless hours of Role play with. Enjoy the Story!

CHAPTER 12 (edited)

"Mia can I talk to you?" Harry said.

"Sure," I answered as I turned to Snowflake, "Can you wait for me?"

"No problem." She said and walked off to the side by Ron and Hermione.

"What's up Harry?" I asked with a smile.

"If Morgan is your mother's maiden name, why don't you have your father's last name? Just thought it was odd." Harry said.

"Yeah, after my father left, my mom changed my name. She didn't think it was right to have a name of someone who disowned me." I said a little uneasily. Why was he asking such a strange question? Unless he found out! Before he had a chance to continue speaking, I blurted out, "I have to go. Sort of gotta catch up with Defense against the Dark Art. Let me know when the next DA meeting is. Today was fun."

I hurried out of the room of requirements.

"Mia wait up!" Snowflake shouted.

"Harry what was that about?" Hermione hissed at Harry. Harry dug out a letter from his pocket.

"Something seemed off about her. I asked Sirus about the family." Harry said, as he handed the letter to Hermione. She read it quickly, and looked at Harry. All the color left her face. Ron looked at Hermione, and ripped the letter out of her hand before reading it himself.

"Bloody hell. Her entire family is death eaters." Ron hissed.

"But that can't be. She is so nice and friendly. She's also a Hufflepuff. She's not like them." Hermione stuttered, shaking her head in disbelief.

"She may not be one of them, but that wouldn't stop them from using her," Harry confessed.

"What do you mean?" Ron asked, "She could be a bloody death eater!"

"When I asked her about the notes, she said she remembered being happy, and having books in front of her. I don't believe she read them, because Hermione read all the books at least 3 times in the library, and Hermione couldn't find anything. I think someone made her write it." Harry said.

"But how and who? And-" Hermione started but Ron interrupted her.

"Someone's coming," Ron said.

They turned and saw a boy approaching.

"Remember me. I was at the DA meeting." Matthew said.

"Yeah I remember. You were good with your spells." Hermione said. He winked at Hermione causing her to turn a bit red.

"I was wondering when we will be learning memory spells. Those are always my favorite, just let me demonstrate." He said and pointed his wand at Hermione.

"Obliviate." He murmured.

"Mia! Didn't you listen?" Snowflake said dragging me out of my thoughts. So much has been going on in my mind, since I hadn't talked to Draco. All I could ever think about was the kiss and how his hands-

"Mia!" Snowflake interrupted my thought again.

"Yeah, of course," I mumbled, putting my right hand on the railing, as we walked down the steps.

"No, you- What the fuck is Malfoy doing now?" Snowflake said storming down the steps. My gaze fell down to where Snowflake was heading. Draco stood there picking on some first years. Hufflepuff first years too.

"Let's not get in the way," I muttered grabbing Snowflakes sleeve. Snowflake just pulled out of my grasp, and continued down the steps. If it was anyone else, I would have had the courage to stand with Snowflake, but not with him.

"No, we have to help them! In our house, we have to stick together. S'il vous plait" Snowflake protested, pulling me down the steps.

"Back off Malfoy!" Snowflake shouted, as she stepped off the bottom step. Draco just let out a laugh, looking at his two minions who followed him everywhere, or at least when Lindsay isn't not around.

"What are you going to do about it?" Draco sneered. His friends laughed with him. I took a step back not wanting anything to do with what was happening. That's when Draco's eyes landed on me. Everything seemed to stop when he looked at me. My heart started to race again, and I grabbed onto the sleeves of my robe. His eyes finally turned away from mine, and I looked down.

"This is what I am going to do," Draco started. I looked up to see what he was going to do and saw him hold up his wand at Snowflake. A spell shot out of his wand. I went to go push Snowflake out of the way but the spell hit her first. A gust of wind pushed me away from Snowflake. Snowflake blocked the wind with her arms, but as she took a step back she fell. My heart stopped when I saw her miss the rail and tumble over. Within seconds, I jumped to the edge and reached my hand out but it was too late. All I felt were her finger tips touch the palm of my hand, but she slipped right through. Her eyes were full of fear but I could tell she was also happy. Snowflake was always happy helping others. I closed my eyes right before she hit the next set of stairs. I felt a lump in my throat and a pain in my chest.

"Mia?" I heard a familiar voice mumbled.

Stand up, I shouted, "Haven't you done enough Malfoy! Go away! I never want to see you again!"

I sunk down to my knees and cried. I couldn't help but think the worst.

My heart raced when they gave me the news that Snowflake was fine. When they asked what happened, I couldn't say anything. If I told them the truth, Draco could be expelled and I didn't want that to happen. But I hated lying and I could be the one expelled. I sat in the great hall by myself, pushing my food around with a fork because I couldn't eat. Every once in a while someone would come up to me and ask how Snowflake was, but all I could do is show a weak smile and nod. Finally I stood up and walked out of the great hall. I know they told me not to go see Snowflake but I had to see how she was doing. I had to know she was okay. I hadn't even turned down the first hall before I heard a voice behind me. I recognized the voice instantly. Turning around slowly, I found Lindsay steps away, looking at me. Pity and worry filled her face. If only she knew what I had done. She ran up to me and wrapped her arms around me.

"I am so sorry to hear what happened. Is she okay?" Lindsay said, not letting go.

"Yeah she is," I almost choked. I feel sick to my stomach now.

"When I heard it was a Hufflepuff, I feared it was you. I am so glad it wasn't you." Lindsay said, not letting me go. Finally I couldn't do it, I pulled Lindsay's arms away and took a few steps back.

"Mia what's wrong?" Lindsay said puzzled, "Why have you been avoiding me since I came back from seeing my mom."

"I-" but I couldn't continue.

"You and Draco have both been acting strange." Lindsay said, "Did you guys fight while I was gone."

"No." I mumbled, folding my arms around me. I just looked down at the ground, ashamed. Not only did I kiss her boyfriend, but I enjoyed it. Enjoyed it more than anything I could imagine.

"Then what is it?" Lindsay said a bit annoyed, "You can tell me anything, Mia. I trust you."

That's when it hurt the most. Trust. She has no right to trust me.

"I can't be trusted Lindsay." I mumbled, as my eyes strung from holding the tears back.

"Yes I can! There's no one more that I trust then you. You and Draco are the only two who will never look at me different just because of my father. Now tell me, please Mia." Lindsay said.

After a long silent moment, I mumbled, "I kissed Draco."

She continued to stare at me, as though she hadn't heard me, and then she finally let out a small laugh.

"That's what the big deal was," She said but I could tell she was hurt.

"Lindsay, I am so sorry. I don't know what to say." I said, taking a step forward but stopped. I couldn't do it. I betrayed her.

"He's a good kisser, isn't he?" She said with a smile. I looked at her and blinked. Why isn't she mad?

"You should probably go and check on Snowflake." Lindsay said. I nodded and turned around and left. What just happened?

After Mia turned the corner, Lindsay dropped to her knee. Her throat ached, and she felt a bit dizzy. Anger and betray filled her mind but not her heart. In her heart she knew that if she died before the war ended, at least those two would have each other. It didn't lessen the pain, but it did make her want to stay friends with Mia and still date Draco. Finally Lindsay broke down and cried.

As I drew near, I began thinking the worst. What happened if she wasn't okay and they just lied to cover it up? I stopped right before the last corner.

"Mia right?" I heard a husky voice spoke. Looking up, I see a male coming from the Hospital wing. I nodded my head.

"Louis, Snowfake's brother." He said, holding out his hand. He had a sleeve tattoo down one arm and two face peircings.

"Oh." I said and took his hand, shaking. "You're a Slytherin!"

I remember seeing him in the common room when Lindsay and I would hang out there. I would have never guess he was Snowflakes brother. His hair was jet black and more built. He also has sharper facial features then Snowflake who could pass for an angle.

"You can go in. I won't tell anyone. It's my parent's who made the rule for no one to visit. It's stupid. She's sleeping but you never know when she will wake up." With that, he left down the hall. Letting out a sigh, I walked around the corner to the Hospital wing. With the doors already open, I spotted snowflake instantly. Her white hair fell perfectly around her. In a way, it reminded me of Snow White after she ate the apple. Her face was almost lifeless and yet blissful at the same time. Her hair laid perfectly around her and her arms were folded on her stomach. If I wasn't told she was alive, I would have thought she was dead.

I took a few steps forward before I felt a warm hand grip mine. Turning around I found a sight of a familiar face.

"Matthew? What are you doing here?" I asked, a bit shocked.

"I wanted to see how you are doing," He said, "I was shocked to hear what happened."

"I'm fine. I am just glad Snowflake is alright." I said crossing my arms and looking down. Putting a figure under my chin, he made me look up. He had a small smile play on his lips. I took a few steps back.

"I'm sorry. I should check on Snowflake." I mumbled.

"Mia, wait. Here drink this. It should help you stay up until she wakes." He said holding up a sealed container.

"Thank you." I smiled and took it from him. With a small smile, he turned around and left the room. I walked over to Snowflakes bed. She had so many cards and treats at the foot of her bed. Sitting down, I opened my bag and pulled out one of my books. I would just have to read until she woke up.
