6. Our Breakup

I stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas as Draco went home. He begged Me to join him but I needed to stay for Harry because he was going to be mad. After breakfast I found Harry as they were going to Hagrid's. I told him to leave him alone and not ask about Black. Harry was too upset.

We knocked on the door and Hagrid stumbled to the door opening and it crying "yeh've heard?"

"Hagrid what Is it?" Hermione asked spotting an official looking letter on the table.

I picked up the letter and read

Dear Mr. Hagrid,

further to our inquiry into the attack by a hippogriff on a student in your class, we have accepted the assurances of professor Dumbledore that you bear no responsibility for the incident.  However, we must register our concern about the hippogriff. We have decided to uphold the official complaint of Mr. Lucius Malfoy, and now this problem will be held for the committee for the disposable of dangerous creatures. There will be a meeting held in the meantime the hippogriff should be tethered and isolated.

"They are scared o' Lucius Malfoy an' if I lose this case" He slid his finger across his throat.

They all looked at me I was glaring. "I'm going to kill him. " I was so upset I walked out into the snow.

I screamed and went into the dark forest. I found a centaur and petted him he was just a baby. His mom growled at me but I ignored her after an hour I left and went to go for a swim. I was still pulsating with anger so I was burning up I jumped in the water. The water physically and emotionally cooled my body off I got out and went to my room.

I didn't leave my bed except to go to the bathroom. I conjured food to my bed.

There were very few Slytherins left but one brought my Christmas presents from the common room. I just put them under my bed and didn't care to look at them.

Shortly after new year everyone came back from break. Draco came up to see me.

"You haven't responded to any of my letters. You haven't left your bed. You haven't opened your presents. Are you alright?"

I showed him the letter that I had rewritten by memory. He started reading it and just stared at me. "Hunter this wasn't-"

"This wasn't your father's doing?"

"I didn't ask him to do this and I tried to stop it over Christmas. You can't be mad at me."

"I can't? Because I am. Did you or did you not ask him to do this?"

"No I didn't he came to me while I was in the hospital and I might have said I didn't care what he did but it was because I was upset you had not come to see me. I can fix it, nothing will happen to the hippogriff. "

"Draco if anything happens to Buckbeak you and I will not even be friends. I'm not your girlfriend anymore." I was just glaring at him. 

"I know you are upset but can we not just talk about this?" He saw how upset I was "Fine atleast open your presents. I'm really sorry and I will do anything to fix it."

I did open them he got me a lot of things but the best was a new broomstick. The newest one the firebolt. I also recieved a beautiful sapphire necklace and ring but it didn't have a note saying who it was from. I just assumed it was from Draco but most of his had his name on it.

Harry was asking Lupin about our practice for getting rid of dementors and he said Thursday. I sat with the George at meals now. I told him about new broom and he was scared having to face our team now. He told me Harry got one too but McGonagall thought it was jinxed. George asked me what was wrong I told him I was fine. He was really sweet to me.

On Thursday when we went to Lupin's classroom. I went first on the dementor boggart. It was what Harry was most afraid of so I used the spell to get rid of it. It was a cute fox that popped out to ward off the dementor.

Lupin told him how to use the spell and it would be very difficult to preform it but because Harry saw me do it he thought it would be easy. He was obviously very wrong. He tried to use the spell but apparently it wasn't a happy enough memory so it did not work. Harry fainted again. Lupin had to rid us of the dementor and hope Harry was OK. I rolled my eyes and told the professor that I knew how to preform it. Even if my happiest memory made me angry now. I could still do the spell. I had to leave.

We played Ravenclaw not long after that. I could tell Draco was not focusing on the game so our chasers had to get us more points. We only won by 30 points because Draco did not catch the snitch. The snitch is worth 150 points so it was so good we were so far ahead. We were happy for winning but Draco left and did not celebrate with the team. I did not sit with him in class anymore so he was not in a good mood ever he was a lot ruder to everyone.

I read a newspaper one day and it said that the dementors are allowed to give Black a dementor's kiss if they find him which is a way of sucking out his soul. You can live without a soul though you just have no emotions no memory no sense of who you were. It is the most terrible thing that could happen to someone.

Harry popped into my head as I was sitting in the library one day. My nails digging into the sides of the chair I was sitting on. Ron was screaming "LOOK!" It was his bedspread I assumed. "SCABBERS!" there looked like blood on the sheet. "HES GONE AND YOU KNOW WHAT WAS ON THE FLOOR?" Hermione just looked confused. Ron pulled some orange hairs out like that of Hermiones cat. "YOUR CAT KILLED HIM!" he said as he walked away looking very distraught.
