Chapter One- The Aftermath

Meli Potter sat beneath her favorite tree on the Hogwarts grounds. Twirling her jet black hair that matched her brothers she let the tears trail down her cheek silently. That summer she and Harry had split up to search for the horcruxes. Of course Ron and Hermione had chosen to tag along with him. They had always been the golden trio who stuck together while Meli had chosen to have her own friends though she did like Ron and Hermione. Anyway while those three searched for horcruxes Meli teamed up with the Weasley twins to search for horcruxes in different areas. That way they had a chance of finding them quickly to end this war. While journeying with them she grew closer to Fred. Secretly they had started dating and had feared what would happen if Voldemort found out. For his own good they kept it quiet hoping for the day when they could walk openly hand in hand without fear the other would die because of it.

Then the day came. They had together destroyed the horcruxes and it was time to face the Dark Lord himself. Although she had begged him not to Fred took part of the final battle. While she and Harry were facing off with Voldemort Fred was fighting with Bellatrix Black-Lestrange. With one curse a flash of green light exploded and Fred fell to the ground dead. After so many hours Voldemort finally fell and the aurors and order members rounded up the remaining Death Eaters. Seeing Fred's body with the ones in the unmoving mass of casulties she let her tears fall. And to revenge for his death she saw to it that Bella got the Dementor's kiss that day.

Letting all of those memories flood back to her she hastily wiped the tears away from her hazel eyes. She didn't want anyone to see her weep anymore when they were all so happy that Voldemort was gone besides she needed to be strong for Ron and Ginny. "Crying Potter?" a voice drawled out. Meli glared up at cold unfeeling grey eyes. "What do you want Ferret face?" she asked venomously. According to the story he had switched over to the light side and was let go of any charges. Bloody git. Not waiting for an answer she jumped to her feet and started to walk away. Tired of the fighting she just wanted to finish her final year in peace and quiet without arguments. Hearing footsteps behind her she quickened her pace so to avoid talking to Malfoy any longer than neccesary. "Meli." he said from behind her. The use of her first name was such a shock to her she stopped dead in her tracks and turned ever so slightly to see what his game was. Tapping her foot impatiently she waited for him to continue, it wasn't if she had all day to socialize with a ferret.

"I heard about your boyfriend and I just wanted to say, that I am sorry." Draco continued. It wasn't everyday that he would apologize and it was very rare for him to apologize to anyone of the Potter name.

"Thanks." she said shortly and continued to walk. Malfoy had surely gone of his rocker and she wanted to distance herself from him. No such luck because she heard his footsteps once again behind her. Finally she couldn't take it anymore so she abruptly stopped and turned to look at him. "What do you want? If this is your idea of a fun game then get it out of your head now! I'm in no mood to argue with you today or any other day." she fumed furiously.

"I don't want anything. I was just walking in the same direction you were. Is that a crime now?" he snapped angry that she was so rude to him when he went out of his way to say he was sorry for his loss. What was the point of trying to be a good guy when they all wanted to condemn you for the family you were born in and the ideas you were raised to believe in. "Sorry." she mumbled and walked again. Nearing the castle doors she stopped briefly again and gave him the tiniest hint of a smile, one no one had seen for awhile. "Draco I'm sorry that your mother died." she said before entering the castle.

Hurrying up to the Gryffindor Common room she found Harry,Ron,Hermione,and Ginny sitting around the fire talking. Plopping down beside them in a huff she chewed her lip thinking about what had just transpired with Malfoy. He seemed truly sorry that Fred had lost his life in the war and seemed to be trying to change. But you could never tell when it was a farce, constant vigilance Moody would say. Harry was Head Boy this year and Hermione was of course head girl. They got their own quarters to sleep in and it irritated her. She would like nothing more to have a quarters of her own so she wouldn't have to answer the constant questions of her dorm mates.

"Well guys I'll be off. Quidditch things to organize you know." he said grabbing his things. Before he left Meli could have sworn that he had given Hermione a look but it could have just been her imagination. "You know I should probably get to the library to finish my essay. Hermione would you like to join me?" she asked knowing Hermione would accept and the others would just laugh and say they had time to finish that essay. Hermione and Meli stood up at the same time and left for the library together.

Meanwhile in the Slytherin Common Room...

Draco sat in the common room after his encounter with Meli. She had always been a mystery that intrigued him not that he would admit it on his life. Today was the first time he had ever called her by her first name and that had to be something. Maybe this being a good guy thing would work out in the end if he tried his hardest. Pondering his thoughts he must have fallen asleep on the couch because he didn't recall seeing any of the other slytherins coming in.

This afternoon had been the last straw when the remaining slytherins who hadn't been taken to Azkaban for death eater activities had seen Draco interacting with the Potter girl. As far as they were concerned that was a house betrayel which was punishable. Silently like snakes they crept up all around Draco and began to beat him up. Waking instantly he tried to fight back but couldn't because someone had immediately used pertrificus totalus on him. Falling stiff as a board he was helpless as they beat him around mercilessly. After they were thoroughly sure he would get the idea they tied him up and they carried him silently through the corridors and dumped him near the library.
