Daphne took a night stroll around the castle, clearing her mind since she couldn't sleep, walking around, humming a tune.

"Daphne!" I heard someone call my name out. I turned to see Potter carrying Weasley. He looked out of it. "He ate a lot of amortentia chocolates, can you help?" The poor boy was staring into space.

"Fine, meet me in the library." I gave him the key and headed to the potions classroom and collected the necessities. I found a bottle, grabbed it so Weasley can have something since it looked like it he ate a lot. I ran to the library, carrying the stuff, setting them down on the table.

"Thanks for helping."

"No worries." I crushed up the ingredients, putting them in a bowl. "Why did you come to me? You could've gone to Slughorn or my father." Potter rubs the back of his neck.

"Me and your father are not on speaking terms and i think Slughorn doesn't want to see me either, and then I just saw you." I chuckled to myself.

"Fancy a drink?" Weasley wraps his arms around me. My eyes widen, it felt weird. Having him hug me.

"Get him off me." I closed my eyes, clenching my fist. Potter quickly pulled him away and i went back to the potion.

"Why are you being so nice?" He blurts out.

"I guess i needed a change. I knew being mean wasn't going to do anything good. Maybe for a change, test the waters."

"How is that going?"

"I have my moments." I nodded. Potter looks deeply into my eyes, leaning in. I froze, stuck. Weasley fell back from the chair and making us jump. I poured the liquid into a glass and headed up to Weasley. "Here you go. Bottom's up."

"What's this?" He looks up at me while he was hesitant on grabbing the cup. I looked at Potter.

"You look thirsty." I lied to him. He gulped the drink in one second, we looked at him.

"What happened to me?" He said so hazily.

"A love potion." Potter laughs.

"A bloody strong one at that." I pointed put, as I started to put away the potions.

"I feel really bad." Weasley burps.

"You need something in your system." I poured some of the drink i found in the classroom. "Here." I handed another cup to him. As he drinked it, he showed no emotion, he fell back and started to seize.

"Ron! Ron! Daphne, do something." I stood there with my hands over my mouth, not know what to do.

"I-I don't understand!" I stuttered as Potter ran to the supplies. What did I do wrong!? I panicked, holding Weasley on his side.

"Come on, Ron, breathe!" Potter put something into his mouth and we waited it out. He stopped seizing, i took a deep breath and looked at Potter.

"These girls... They're gonna kill me." He said as he sat up.

"Quick thinking on your part, Harry, using a bezoar. You should be very proud of your student, Horace." We took Weasley to the hospital and all the teachers meet up us there. Granger and Ginny were there comforting him. He was knocked out. I held the bottle close to me, as my father stood by my side.

"Ah, yes. Very proud."

"I think we agree Potter's actions were heroic. The question is: Why were they necessary?" Professor Mcgonagall looked at us.

"Why, indeed. This appears to be a gift, Daphne." I handed Professor Dumbledore the bottle, he examined it. "You don't remember who gave you this bottle? By the way, it possesses remarkably subtle hints of liquorice and cherry. When not polluted with poison." He took a sniff.

"Actually, i found it in the potions classroom, i took it because i knew that the potion was strong and knew that Weasley needed a pick me up." I stated. "Its Professor Slughorns, im sorry I stole it."

"Horace?"

"It was a gift sir."

"To whom, might I ask?" Dumbledore asked him again.

"To you, headmaster." The room went quiet. I was pushed by Lavender, making me lose my balance, my father catching me.

"Where is he? Where's my Won-Won?" Im sorry what? Whats a won won? "Has he been asking for me? What's she doing here?" Won won? You've got to be kidding me. She looks at Granger, who stood up.

"I might ask you the same question." Granger spat. Oooh the girls are fighting. I stood there, entertained.

"I happen to be his girlfriend."

"And I happen to be his... friend." The stop. I know something is going on here.

"Don't make me laugh." No please, make me laugh. "You haven't spoken in weeks. I suppose you want to make up with him now that he's suddenly all interesting."

"He's been poisoned, you daft dimbo! And for the record, I've always found him interesting." I looked down, you know what Granger, im starting to like you. We heard Weasley mumble.

"Ah see? He senses my presence. Don't worry, Won-Won. I'm here. I'm here." Lavender went up to him, holding his leg.

"Hermione. Hermione." He repeats. I covered my laugh, dont Daphne Lilth. Oh thats so embarrassing. Why is it so hard not to laugh! Lavender was hurt and storms off. I let out a chuckle, My father nudged me to stop.

"Oh to be young and to feel love's keen sting." Potter and I looked at each other. I moved my hair to cover my face from him. My father noticed and stared at Potter and making him look away from me. "Well, come away, everybody. Mr. Weasley's well attended." I walked out and went to my next class. It was charms. I wrote down my notes that I copied from Lisa. Paying attention to Flitwick was boring, hes a good teacher but my mind wonder off. He dismissed class and we walked to the hallway to chat.

"You look exhausted." Blaise pointed at me. I yawned, nodding my head.

"I nearly killed Weasley without even knowing. That kept me up all night."

"We've heard. Glad hes okay."I heard giggles from the other side of the hall. The three of us turned to see Astoria kissing Draco. He pushes her off. He doesn't want her, he yelled at her. Astoria smiles at me, cleaning her bottom lip with her finger. Everyone oohed. I clenched my jaw. She's really playing with fire right now. Ill show her. "Dont." Lisa points at me.

"What?" She gave me a look.

"Whatever you are thinking about." I handed my bag to Lisa and my books to Blaise. Blaise smirks. I walked up and saw Elio. Perfect. Lisa groans, now knowing what imma do.

"Elio!" He turns to me. Draco wipes his mouth and turns too.

"Daph-" i pulled Elio's tie, bending down to kiss me. The boys whistled. Elio was liking it, my hands running through his black hair and i pushed him back.

"See you after class."

"You bet." He smirks as I walked away. I wiped my lips with my thumb, looking at Astoria while I did it. I grabbed my things from Lisa and Blaise.

"You are something else." Lisa laughed.

"Astoria thinks this is a game, ill show her, I always win." I scuffed. Dracos heart dropped. He watched Daphne leave. He pulls Astoria to a empty room.

"I know what game you are playing and you better stop it!" He growls. Astoria backs up.

"Its just to make her jealous. You don't even love her!"

"I love her! I still do! Now that you are attached to me, like a bloody leech, She thinks we're together! Leave me and her alone! I don't want you near me." He yells at her. She was scared. "Ever!"

"Then why did you break up with her? If you loved her, why do it?"

"Thats none of your business. You stay away from me." He shoves her to the side and and storms out of the room. He played around with Daphnes ring, to keep him calm. It went over and under his fingers. He needs to get her back, if thats the last thing he has to do.

Neville had invited me to go to the greenhouse and just hang out. I sat on a stool, watching him plant some flowers. I never really liked these type of stuff, it was more Katherine's thing. She had a green thumb.

"Here, its ready to be picked." He hands me a rose, i twirled it around. It was beautiful. "Thanks for hanging out with me."

"Anytime Neville."

"A lot of people don't like me talking about this stuff, they usually don't care." I set the flower down and looked at him.

"Well I do." He chuckles, turning red. "I don't have the expertise in this stuff, but i listen and i care." The door opened, Potter showed up.

"May I borrow Daphne for a moment, Neville?" He asked him.

"Go ahead." I picked up my rose and headed out to meet Potter.

"Hi." He gives me a smile.

"Hello Potter." He looked around, fidgeting a bit. "What is it you want to talk about?"

"I just wanted to see if you are good, you know, what happened last night." I oohed.

"Right, uh, I'm fine. How is Weasley anyways?"

"Better. Lavender is angry though." We both chuckled.

"I guess Won Won better come up with an explanation." We laughed again. He stared at Daphne for a moment. The way she smiled, the way her chest puffs up. He was blown away.

"Can I say something?" She nods. Potter clears his throat, then looking at her again. He saw the busted lip, the dark under eyes, but she pulled it off, managing to still look beautiful. "I like you." This caught Daphne off guard. She gasps.

"You dont even know me Potter." She shakes her head.

"Then let me. Show me." He grabs her hand, smoothing his thumb over her hand, placing it on his chest. This is his chance. "Daphne, You know, when I first met you, I thought you were the most beautiful girl i have ever seen. Honestly, you were the first girl I have ever took interest in. The way you dont take no for an answer, the way your hair bounces as you walk, those black eyes, that cheeky grin. You are amazing, so beautiful." He slowly leans in, placing his lips on hers. First year Daphne would be screaming, but this was wrong. Daphne pulls away. She wipes her lips, this wasn't right.

"I dont like you in that way Potter." She looks at him.

"Daphne wait." He grabs her hand, that was on his chest. "Why is it so wrong to be together?"

"Potter, im going to say this and we'll put it away forever. I've liked you, but the love I have for Draco, its different. We just can't be together. Draco is my first love. I tend to want him as my last. I cant see my future without him in it." Potter looks away, she slowly pulls her hand away from him. She takes a step back, looking down at the rose. "Even though we are over, i still have feelings for him. Draco Malfoy deserves so much. I don't want to hurt him by being with you." She looks back at him, giving him a nod. "Im sorry I gave you the wrong impression. Im not the one you want, trust me."

"I get it, i wont say anything about what happened." Potter lets go, making her go back to Neville. She wipes her tear, putting on a smile for Neville as he showed her how to repot flowers. Potter was hurt, but he knew it would never happen. She is a Snape and he's a Potter, the feud between them would've not work. But he saw how different she was. He would have a special place for her in his heart. Knowing that she'll go back to Draco, hurt him, but he understood, she loves him.

Potions was going to be awkward. The two had to sit next to each other. Imagine sitting next to someone that just rejected you.

Daphne came in early, setting her things in place, perfectly. Draco watched her as she wrote her name down in cursive, he loves the way how she wrote her name, all smooth and perfect. Potter came in late and sat next to her, now, all Draco did was look at them.

Draco started to sense something between the two. He watched as Potter looked at Daphne, doing her potion, as if she was a goddess, like he did. And Daphne not saying a word to him, she didn't notice, she was too focused on the potion she was making. He wanted to hit him. How dare he do this In front of him. Staring at the woman he loves.

He watched as the two accidentally touched hands. Neither of them pulled back, Potters cheeks flushed red, Daphne bit her lip as she took her hand away. He couldn't say anything since she was no longer his.

The two hands touched. Potter felt her long nails on his skin. That one touch was ecstatic. Daphne quickly pulled her hand away, while his was still there. Daphne closes her eyes and continues with her potion. She turns to Draco, already looking at her back. That long stare made her have butterflies again.

She missed him, she wants him back. But how can she go back to someone that broke her. Daphnes feelings are all over the place. Daphne snaps out of it and continues the potion. Once she was finished, the class ended and she went with Lisa to walk around, ditching Elio and voiding Potter.

"How are you, really." Lisa stops, grabbing Daphnes arm. Daphne turns to her. She started to notice to mood change after she came back from break. You don't go to crying about a woman who was tormenting her through mirrors and a break up and nearly dying from a mysterious scar to cracking jokes and smiling within days.

"Im getting by." She gave her a smile. "I don't see her anymore."

"Thats good news."

"But I do feel her watching me sometimes." Daphnes face fell.

"Hey, one day at a time."

"You promise?" Lisa brought up her pinky, Daphne locked hers. Lisa planted a kiss on Daphnes knuckles, then laughing. Daphne had was down, Lisa kissed her cheek and pulled her in for a hug.

"Come here." She rubs her back. Draco passes by, making Daphne think about him again.

"I miss him." She whispers. Lisa pulls back, seeing Draco look at them both and leaving.

"What does your heart say?" That she wants him back but with everything going on, is it worth it? But he did say bad things about her, kissed Astoria. She doesn't know. "You have time to think, your answer will not come immediately, you will know."

"You are the best, you know."

"I always have been, you were too busy thinking about me and Blaise." Daphne smacks her arm, then wrapping her arm around Lisas shoulder, feeling a bit better.

"I mean come on, you both look cute together." She sings. Lisa blushes.

"Whatever." They both chuckled, walking around the school, laughing, as they once did before.
