Draco started his fifth year doing the usual things he did—insulted those who were below him and got into fights with Harry and his friends. He was still the same bully that everyone knew.

He missed her terribly—her scent, her warmth, her voice, her kisses, her everything. He was now in his fifth year and had been two years since he last saw Stephanie leave Hogwarts.
