The rest of the day, I decided to stay in the Common Room. I was sitting a corner, reading, when that Tessa chick come over.
“Hello Angel! What are you doing all by yourself?” She smiled and sat infront of me. Blah.
“I’m reading.” I said, not taking my eyes off of the book. I heard her sigh.
“You don’t like me. Don’t you?” That made me look up.
“No. It’s not that.”
“I know. I know. Cooper told me everything.”
“Then I shouldn’t explain myself.”
“Look. I’m not asking you to like me. But just know, if you ever need anyone to talk to. You know where to fine me.”
“Thanks but No thanks.” I said and stood up. I picked up my bag and walked out. I saw Cooper walking towards me.
“Well?”
“I though you said you would keep it a secret. Who else did you tell my life to? The whole school?!” Cooper looked kinda hurt. Damn it. Now you see why I can’t be close to people.
“Angel. She is my girlfriend. Do you honestly think I could keep a secret from her? She was worried about you.”
“Well. She shouldn’t worry. And you should not have told her. That just proves that I can’t trust you!”
“Angel!” I heard Tessa from behind. Great. Just great.
“What?!” I turned around to face her.
“Don’t get mad at Cooper. I begged him to tell me. And I shouldn’t have. It was wrong. I’m sorry.”
“Yeah. Okay. Goodbye.” I turned back around and walked away.
“ANGEL MELISSA BURKE. GET BACK HERE.” I heard Cooper yell, and I stopped dead in my tracks. How did he know my middle name? No one knows it! I turned around and growled at him.
“NEVER. Call me by my full name. How did you find out my Middle name anyways?!”
“I did my research.”
“Oh! So now you are also looking me up behind my back?!”
“No! Its not like that.”
“Really? Are you sure? Because it soinds like it is like that!”
“But its not! I just wanted to know more about you.”
“You could have asked like a normal person!”
“How can I?! YOU NEVER TELL ANYONE ABOUT YOURSELF.”
“YOU DON’T KNOW THAT.”
“YES I DO. Face it Angel, You don’t tell anyone anything! Everyone in this whole school would have done what I did.”
“Maybe I would have told you if you asked…”
“I DID ASK.”
“NO YOU DID NOT.” I glared at Cooper and walked away. That was when I noticed, everyone was watching. This is just not my day.

I was sitting by the Black Lake when I heard a splash. Looking up, I saw three guys in the Lake. They saw me and grinned, got out and walked over.
“Hello there.” One of the guys said, he had this vibe that tells you he’s the player type. The other had round glasses and a friendly smile. Yet, his smile was a bit prankish. And the other had hair that changed colors. But one of them shocked me the most. One of them was Harry Potter.
“Howdy.”
“I’m Jake Black.” The player guy, Jake, smirked. Ugh, Great. More smirking.
“I’m Harry Potter.” Harry smiled brightly.
“And I am Teddy Lupin.” Teddy smiled as well.
“Nice to meet y’all. I’m Angel Burke.”
“Oh, we know.” Raising an eyebrow, I tilted my head to the side. They just laughed. “You’re in the same house as me and Harry. Teddy here is in Hufflepuff.”
“Oh. I see.”
“You alright?” Harry asked and sat next to me. I can tell he wants to be my friend.
“Yeah. I’m fine.”
“You know. You shouldn’t be mad at that Rosier dude. We would have done the same.” Jake chuckled. I just signed.
“Yeah. That helps.”
“Can’t blame a guy for trying. But really, don’t be mad at him.” Jake turned around and walked away with Teddy. Harry smiled at me before getting up and walking away.
“They’re right, you know.” That was a new voice. I looked up and saw another guy standing in front of me.
“I know.”
“Then why wont you apolagize?” I just smirked and stood up.
“Why would I do that?”
“Huh? But I thought…”
“I’m not apolagizing. I’m surprising.” The guy stood there confused, then he grinned.
“Ah. I see what you’re doing. Very smart.”
“Eh. I have my moments.”
“Haha, anyways. I’m Levi. Levi Karistan.”
“Angel Burke.”
“Nice to meet you Angel.” Levi smiled.
“Likewise.” I smiled back and walked away. Yeah, not apolagizing. Just going to ignore him till his birthday, then surprise him there. Good thing Cooper and Mags birthday is in a week. I have plenty of time.

Walking into Care of Magical Creatures was a bad idea. The first thing I saw was Nelson. Oh god, some one kill me now. I think he’s the new Assistant. Avoiding eye contact, I took my seat in the back and layed my head on the desk.
“Whats up with you?” I heard Soren ask while he sat next to me. I looked at him and sat up straight.
“Nothing. I’m fine.”
“Lie. Come on, Angel. Tell me.”
“Really Soren, I’m fine.” Soren sighed and looked forward.
“Alright students! While I’m gone, our new assistant will take over. Mr. Nelson. Treat him like you would to me.” I watched as the teacher walked out of the classroom. Great teacher, huh? Sending me to my doom! Still avoiding eye contact, I heard Nelson talk.
“Alright, it says here you were learning about Dragons. Well, how about we all go outside and see them for ourselfs?” Everyone shot out of their seats and ran outside. Me and Soren just walked. Bad idea. Nelson was behind us.
“Angel. There is something wrong. Just tell me.” Soren looked at me, concerned.
“Not now Soren. At lunch.” I walked a little faster till we caught up with the rest of the class. I noticed Brandon was there, leaning against a tree. So I walked over to him.
“Hello Love.” Brandon smiled and kissed my forehead.
“Hello.”
“Whats wrong?” Sighing, I looked around and saw Nelson looking at me with sad eyes. I glared at him and looked away.
“Its nothing.”
“Angel…”
“I’ll tell you later.” I sighed. Brandon nodded and stood behind me, wraping his arms around my waist. Somehow, I smiled.
“There’s that beautiful smile I was looking for.” Brandon smiled and lightly kissed my neck. I looked down and blushed.
“Shush.”
“Hm…Nope.” Brandon chuckled and lays his head on my shoulder, holding me closer. Looking up with my eyes, I saw Nelson watching us with a small smile on his face.
“Alright guys. When I move these branches, I want you all to be comepletly still. No sudden movements.” Everyone stood still as he slightly moved the branches. Out of no where, a Dragon flew up into the sky. Watching him fly around made me smile. He is so beautiful, magnificent. Nelson whistled and the Dragon landed next to him.
“Guy. I would like you to meet Flames.” Everyone quietly laughed at his name, but me. Now I know why we’re doing this. Flames is my Dragon. I got him when I was a first year in America. “Hey now. No laughing. The owner of this dragon was very young when she got him. Ain’t that right…Angel?” Nelson smirked in my direction. Git. He knows I hate attention. I just nodded. “Why wont you come up and show us how we ride him?” I felt Brandon let go of me and give me a gentle push forward. Looking back at him, he had a smile on his face.
“Alright.” I turned back around and walked over to Flames. Gently, I stroked one of his scales. He starts running around everyone then back to me. Flames licked my cheek a little before kneeling down. Smiling, I hopped on and held on tight. Flames shot up in the air, started spinning while flying. Holding onto him, I couldn’t help but laugh. Oh Flames, I missed you so much.
“I’m sure he missed you too.” I heard Brandon in my head. Again, damn it.
“He hasn’t changed a bit.” Looking around, Flames started flying over the lake.
“I bet he hasn’t. Are you having fun?”
“Yes. I feel free again.” I smiled to myself and lightly touched the water as Flames got close to it.
“That is great news. Just, be careful up there. I don’t want my girl hurt.” I heard Brandon chuckle in my mind. I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Don’t worry Lover boy. I’ll be fine.”
“Good!” I heard him laugh. Man, I love his laugh. Damn it Brandon, stop turning me girlie! Its unnatural! Flames snorted a little before turning around. Smiling, we landed safely on the ground. I hopped off of him, kissed the top of his head and walked back to Brandon. Brandon smiled and opened his arms for me. Gladly, I hugged him.
“Very good! You haven’t lost your touch. I would have the rest of y’all ride him, but it seems we ran out of time. Off you go!” Nelson smiled at me and turned around. Soren walked over with Faith, patted my head with a smile and walked off.
“SOREN BONES!” I growled at him, holding in a laugh. Soren just laughed and ran. “GET BACK HERE YOU TURD!’ I laughed and ran after him.

When I was running I ran into someone. I didn’t bother to look up knowing it was a guy.
“Whoa, Be careful!” He said. I just nodded and picked up my bag.
“Sorry. Didn’t see you.”
“Its okay, Angel.” I froze. How does he know me?
“Um…how do you know me?”
“How can I forget my Little Angel?” I looked up, shocked, and stepped back. Standing in front of me was my second biggest fear. Travis Nelson. What the hell is he doing here?! He ruined my life. I thought he was my friend, but he betrayed me. Now you know why I don’t trust others.
“No…What the hell are you doing here?!” I asked while stepped back. He just stood there, looking almost guilty.
“Angel. I just wanted to… to apologize.”
“Apologize? You? HA! Don’t make me laugh.”
“Angel. I mean it. Everything that happened back in Texas wasn’t me.”
“Really? Because it looked a hell lot like you!”
“But it wasn’t! Angel, believe me. Please…”
“You know whats in the word Believe? LIE! How could you! Nelson, you were my friend. And you betrayed me. You tortured me. I almost killed myself because of you.” Nelson sighed and looked down.
“I know…I know. And I’m sorry. Please, Angel. Believe me when I tell you, that was not me! I was…”
“You were what?!”
“I was under the Imperio Curse for goodness sakes! I had no control!” I looked at him for a moment and looked at his eyes. They don’t seem to be dull anymore like they were. So, he must be telling the truth. But…
“What about before the imperio? Huh? You know, in Muggle School.” I growled at him. He looked at me and tried to talk, but was stuttering. “Thought so. Idiot.” I turned on my heal and walked away. If anyone has great eye vision, they would see the steam blowing out of my ears. In other words. I’m pissed off. My life is ruined. All thanks to that Git.

“Angel? Whats wrong?” Heather sat next to me at the Black Lake. It took me awhile before telling her everything that happened. And by everything, I mean EVERYTHING. Don’t know why though, but I trust Heather. Like, she understands me in a way. Heather looked at me for a moment before speaking. “How the hell are you still alive?!” I laughed.
“Gee, thanks.”
“No, I didn’t mean it like that. You know what I meant.”
“Yeah, I do. Honestly, I don’t know. I almost didn’t survive once. Something kept me going.”
“What was it?”
“The hope that I would get away and come somewhere safe.” I looked down and immediately thought of Hogwarts. I feel safe here. Then my mind wondered to Brandon. I always feel safe around him. When I’m with him, I feel protected. Funny, when I was little and I thought of having a boyfriend, I imagined him to be just like Brandon. I even imagined the way he looked, and he looked just like Brandon. And I used to love that name too. Weird.
“Wow. Well, at least you are somewhere safe. Hey, Almost forgot what I was supposed to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“Brandon wants you to meet him in the Room of Requirements.” Heather smiled and walked away. Room of what? Ugh, boys are confusing.

It took me like an hour till I found the Room of Requirements. How was I supposed to find it? I’m still new here! When I walked it, Brandon was sitting on a bed looking at DVDs. There was even a TV in here. Weird.
“Took you long enough.” Brandon chuckled.
“Sorry, I got lost. Again.” I smiled and walked over to him, sat down next to him.
“Ahh. Being you. That makes sense.” Brandon leaned over and kissed me. Still smiling, I kissed back. Brandon pulled away, smiling. “Someone is in a good mood.”
“Yeah, Don’t know why though.” He looked at me for a moment and kissed my forehead.
“I heard. Angel, just remember you always have me. And you’ll never loose me.” He smiled and rested his forehead against him. I smiled back.
“Never?”
“Never ever.”
“What if you get an amazing job far away from me?”
“I’ll turn them down.”
“What if you get forced into going over seas?”
“I’ll run away and come strait back to you.”
“What if-“
“Angel!” Brandon chuckled and kissed my nose. “Silly. Whatever happens, I’m going to come back to you no matter what.” I smiled and kissed his cheek.
“Thanks.”
“Don’t mention it, Doll. Now, pick a movie.” I looked at the stack of Movies and saw Paranormal Activity 3.
“Oh! This one!” I grinned and held it up. Brandon raised an eyebrow at me. “What?” I chuckled.
“Oh, nothing. Just, don’t go hiding behind me. Or…” Brandon smirked and put the movie in and laid down. He opened his arms for me, I gladly cuddled up to him. Okay, I swear I do not know what is going on with me. Its kinda scaring me. Brandon kissed the top of my head and whispered in my ear. “Don’t fight it, Love.”
“But, its weird.”
“Nah, its normal.” He chuckled.
“How?”
“Well, you are a girl.”
“Whoa! I’m a girl!? Since when!?” I laughed, Brandon joined in.
“Of course you are, Silly. What I meant. Its normal for a girl to act like this when they’re around their sexy boyfriend.”
“Whoa, who said you were sexy?” Brandon just smirked at me. Damn it, he read my mind again. “BRANDON! Jerk.” Playfully, I glared at him. He just laughed and kissed me, I kissed back.
“I love you.” He smiled and pulled the covers over us. Smiling, I laid my head on his chest.
“I love you too.”
Wow, I guess this is what it feels like to be with someone who truly cares about you. I don’t want this feeling to leave. Brandon, Look at what you’ve done to me.

Free day? Hell yeah! Finally! Haven’t been to the Forbidden Forest yet. And I plan on going today. I’m dressed in my normal wiped up jeans and black T-shirt, along with my Combat Boots. Walking out of my Dorm, people were looking at me like they knew something. GAH, I hate that. Whatever. I just walked out and headed outside.
“Hello Love.” Brandon walked over to me with a smile on his face. Gr. Stop being so damn cute.
“Howdy.” I smiled back. Brandon chuckled and wrapped his arms around my waist, leaned in and kissed me. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I kissed back. I felt him smile and he mumbled something.
“I’ll never stop being Cute.” I pulled away and playfully narrowed my eyes at him. Brandon chuckled. “What?”
“Stop reading my mind, please.”
“Hm…Nope.” Before I could respond, Brandon kissed me again. Harder this time. Grr. For some reason, I kissed back just as hard. You know, when I’m with him, I can’t control myself. Great, now I sound cheesy. Not cool. Brandon smirked in the kiss and pulled away. “Where are you going?”
“Forbidden Forest.”
“You know, its called Forbidden for a reason.”
“Which is why I want to go see it.” I grinned and started walking again. I heard Brandon run after me and he took my hand.
“In that case. I’m coming with.” I smiled and kept walking. Walking into the Forest, I had the urge to climb a tree. Climbing trees are fun. Me and Brandon kept walking when we heard a snap close by. Squinting my eyes, I walked towards the noise. Brandon followed me. You can tell he was worried. But, whats life without a little bit of Danger, right? Walking closer, I saw something move. Getting a closer look, I noticed it had fur. And it was huge. I know this animal. A werewolf. As if on cue, the Werewolf howled and turned around, facing us. Letting go of Brandon’s hand, I walked closer.
“Angel? What are you doing?!” Brandon whispered.
“Shh, I know what I’m doing.” I whispered back and kept walking, keeping eye contact with the Werewolf. The Werewolf looked at me and started growling, backing up a little. I help my hand out slowly, still walking towards it. It stopped backing up and stood still. Guessing by how its not attacking me, the Werewolf took some Wolfsbane before turning. Good. I reached it and gently placed my hand on its head, and started petting it.
“Wow, you have a way with animals.” Brandon smiled and walked over.
“Always have, always will.” I smiled and looked at the Werewolf. Its eyes started turning brown. Next thing I know, it turned into a girl. I saw Brandon turn around. Whoops, she’s naked. Digging through my bag, I pulled out some clothes and tossed them at her. She quickly changed into them and stood up.
“Don’t tell anyone.”
“I wont. But, who are you?”
“I’m Heather Locke.” I saw Brandon turn around and walk over.
“Heather Locke? So, this is why you’re so mysterious.”
“Yup.”
“Wait, you two know each other?” I just stood there, confused. Brandon chuckled.
“She’s a Ravenclaw, like me.” I nodded and looked at Heather. She was tall, probably 17. She had brown hair, brown eyes, and scars on her. Probably from when she got attacked from a Werewolf. Have to admit, she was pretty.
“Ohhhh. Okay.” Brandon and Heather both chuckled.
“Well, I should get going. Poppy always has me go to her after the full moon.” Heather started walking away but stopped and turned around. “Wait, I never got your name.”
“Angel Burke.” I smiled. She smiled back, slightly.
“Nice name. Bye.” Heather walked away.
“She seems nice.” I chuckled.
“Eh, she’s always like that. Doesn’t like to show emotion.” Brandon laughed and took my hand. I smiled and started walking back to the Castle.
“I can see why.” Walking back into the Castle, people were still looking at me like they knew something. Gr.
“Just ignore them. Students here always look like that.” Brandon chuckled.
“Blah, I hate people looking at me. Its weird.” I laughed and walked into the Great Hall.
“You’re going to have to get used to it.” He smiled and kissed my cheek. Then Brandon walked out, smiling. Probably because I blushed, again. Gr.

“ANGEL!” I heard Mags call for me, while running. When I turned around, she tackled me.
“MAGS.” I laughed and sat up. “Whats up?”
“Not much! What about you?”
“Same.”
“Well, LETS GO DO SOMETHING!” Mags pulled me up and ran. Laughing, I ran after her.
“MAGGIE, ANGIE. FINALLY.” We heard Cooper yell for us. Mags pulled me along towards him and some chick, who was sitting on his lap. Weird, never thought Cooper would have a Girlfriend. I mean that in the best way possible, its just weird. Eh, oh well, not my problem.
“Angie? Seriously, Cooper! Would have came up with something better? Watch out, I’m going to start calling you Pooper!” I glared at him for a moment then laughed.
“Ohh, Pooper! It fits him well! I like it, Ang!” Mags smirked, causing me to laugh. Cooper pouted, but then started laughing. The girl just sat there, looking confused. I noticed her hair and eyes were changing colors. Joy, another Meta.
“Angel, this is Tessa Potter. She’s in your house.” Cooper smiled. Tessa smiled at me putted her hand out.
“Nice to meet you, Angel. Mags and Cooper told me a lot about you.” I raises an eyebrow and groaned.
“Mags! Pooper! I told you guys I don’t like people talking about me!” I pouted. They just laughed. Tessa looked confused for a bit and put her hand down.
“Angel, get used to it. And be nice!” Mags laughed. I was still pouting.
“But what if I don’t want to be nice?”
“How the hell did you not get into Slytherin?” Cooper asked. I just smirked and stood up, I saw faith from the corner of my eye and ran over to her, tackling her.

“HEY! ANGEL! YOU SCARED ME!” Faith laughed as I stood up.
“Sorry! I had to get away. You know how I feel about meeting people.”
“Who did you meet?”
“Some chick named Tessa Potter.”
“Oh, you mean the girl dating Cooper? She’s nice! And a Meta like me! Not to mention a Gryffindor like you.”
“Well, I know all of that. I just…”
“You just what?”
“I just don’t like meeting new people and getting close to them. Faith, I have a dark past. With that past, I could hurt someone. I could hurt you, Mags, Cooper, Brandon, or even Soren! I’ve gotten close to y’all and I don’t need anyone else.” Faith looked at me for a minute before speaking.
“Angel, you gotta have some fun. Stop worrying if you’re going to hurt someone. Just relax.” I sighed and nodded.
“I guess, come on. I need some books.” I started walking to the Library with Faith walking next to me.
“What kind of books?”
“Just books to help with Homework.” Walking into the Library, some books were floating around. Those didn’t look like the books I need.
“Ohh, okay.” Faith nodded and looked around. Walking around, I saw just the book I needed. Everything I need to know is in that book. All about Death Eaters. Yeah, yeah, I know faith said to relax. But, I can’t. No matter how hard I try, I will never relax. Never. I picked up the book and checked it out. Walking out, I stuffed the book in my bag and started walking towards the courtyard. I heard Faith yell for me, But I didn’t stop. I kept walking, and walked past Cooper, that Tessa chick, and Mags. They didn’t call for me, just stared. I walked back to the Gryffindor Common Room and walked to my Dorm. Thank goodness I have my Dorm to myself. Plopping myself on my bed, I took out the Book and started reading.

The next day I was eating breakfast with Soren. You know, ever since I met him, I felt some kind of connection towards him. Like, I’ve known him for years. Which doesn’t make sense.
“Soren?” I asked after taking a bite from my apple.
“Hmm?” Soren looked up from his book. Bookworm. Kidding, sorta.
“Have you ever had the feeling like you’ve known someone for years? Even though you just met them?” That got his attention. He looked at me for a minute before answering.
“Yeah, I have. With you. Thank goodness I’m not the only one.” I Chuckled and took another bite from my apple.
“What do you think it means?”
“Maybe we have known each other before.” Soren smiled.
“But…if we have, then I would remember you. Wont I?”
“Not exactly. We might have been Obliviated.”
“Ew. I hate that spell. So cruel.”
“Not as cruel as the Cricio Curse.” I couldn’t help but flinch slightly. Me and the Crucio don’t have a good relationship. Soren looked at me and frowned. “Sorry.”
“Nah, its okay.” I smiled. Soren was about to say something but he just smiled and stood up.
“Gotta go, see ya later Angel.” Soren smiled and left. Weird child.
“Sure, ditch your friend” I mumbled under my breath and laughed to myself. When I stood up and turned around, I literately collided into someone.
“Wow, didn’t know you would be this happy to see me.” Brandon Smirked. Why is it always him? Grr.
“Oh, shut up. I didn’t see you.” I smiled and picked up my bag and started walking.
“Hey! Where are you going?” Brandon ran after me and took my hand.
“Class, dummy. You know, for a Ravenclaw, you’re not that smart.” I chuckled and kept walking. I have potions today.
“Hurtful!” Brandon called after me when I started walking towards Potions.
“LOVE YOU.” I yelled back before walking in. Did I just say that? Damn it. I’m never going to leave that down.

“MISS BURKE!” Snape growled. I almost jumped three feet in the air, but ended up hitting my knee on the desk.
“OW! WHAT?” Eh, didn’t get much sleep last night. Stupid nightmares.
“PAY ATTENTION.” I just grumbled and leaned back in my chair. Draco laughed and showed me his book.
“Didn’t get much sleep last night?”
“Not one bit. I hate night sometimes.”
“Why? What was your nightmare about?” I looked at him for a minute and shrugged. Somehow, I knew Mags and Cooper were watching me from behind.
“Just stuff from my past. Don’t worry about it. Just, don’t be surprised if I’m asleep during Ancient Runes.” I smiled and started brewing the potion.
“Doll, everyone sleeps during Ancient Runes.” Draco laughed and helped me. I felt people watching us.
“Oh shut the hell up, Malfoy.” I smirked and finished up the Potion. Perfect.
“Nah, I’m good.” Draco smirked back. You know whats weird? People are still shocked that I’m friends with Draco. He’s pretty awesome. When he’s not being a jerk. But then again, he’s not a jerk to me. He knows I can beat him up.
“Blah. Whatever.” I Chuckled and walked over to Snape’s desk and handed him the potion. Walking back, I saw Mags and Cooper giving me a worried looked. Ugh, I’ll ask after class.

“ANGEL, SLOW DOWN.” I was running. Talking to Mags and Cooper after class? Big mistake. They started asking about my Nightmares. I started answering, but I froze. My heart started stopping and I felt like the walls were closing in on me, squishing me until I was nothing. Its a scary feeling. I was running as fast as I can, which is very fast. I would have kept running but I ran right into someone. Causing us both to fall down. I ran into Brandon.
“Whoa. Love, whats wrong?” Brandon sat up and kept me on his lap. I didn’t answer, just hugged him tight. I heard feet running towards us. Mags and Cooper.
“Angel! What the hell?!” The said panting. Brandon just sat there, looking confused. I sighed and looked down.
“Guys, I really don’t want to talk about it.”
“Angel. If they scare you that bad, you have to talk about it.” Mags said looking at me concerned. She may be weird, but I already think of her as a Big Sister. I sighed and nodded.
“Alright.” They were looking at me, waiting for me to continue. I gulped and looked down, not wanting to make eye contact. “Ever since I was little..I had this nightmare of someone..kidnapping me. Beating me with a Whip and the Crucio curse, until I was bleeding to death. Then he would kill all of the people I cared about, and make me watch.” My eyes were tearing up at this point. Quickly, I blinked them away and looked at the others. They were starring at me, shocked. Brandon held me closer and stroked my hair. Gr, I still don’t like people touching my hair. But, I’ll let this time slide.
“Angel…” Mags looked at me, shock written on her face. She looked at me for a minute then hugged me. “You know…That will never happen.” That just made me smile and I hugged her back.
“I know. But it still hurts. Sometimes, I wake up bleeding.” I looked down at my hands.
“Angel. Why didn’t you tell us before?” Cooper asked.
“Because. I can handle it myself.”
“Obviously not. Ang. You’re scared out of your mind. We’re helping and thats final.” Brandon said. I looked up at him and saw the look in his eyes. They had a mix of concern, and protection. For some reason, I didn’t fight back this time. I just nodded.
“Come on. Lunch is about to start.” I said and stood up.
“Are you going to be eating with Soren?” Mags asked. I nodded.
“I need to talk to him about something.” I smiled and started walking. I heard foot steps walk after me and felt someone slip their hand into mine. Brandon.
“Angel?” Brandon looked down at me. Gr, I hate being short.
“Yes?”
“Just wanted to remind you something.”
“Whats that?”
“I love you.” Brandon smiled and kissed my cheek. You know, ever since I met him. A little bit of my girlie side would show. Like now, I just blushed. Damn it. Brandon smiled and kissed the top of my hand and walked away. Gr. That is all.

“Soren?” I asked while looking up from my book. He was happily munching on a chicken leg. He’s such a boy.
“Yes?” Soren asked after swallowing.
“I just realized something.”
“Whats that?”
“I have no friends in my own house.” I chuckled and picked up an apple.
“Well, make friends.” Soren laughed.
“Eh, Effort.” Grinning, I took a bite from my apple. Soren laughed.
“Well then.”
“Soren?” Back to seriousness.
“Yes?”
“What do you think he sees in me?”
“He? Who he?”
“Brandon.” Soren chuckled then smirked.
“Why don’t you ask him yourself.” Before I can respond, Soren stood up and left. I just sat there looking confused till I felt someone sitting next to me. Oh..dear god, no. Someone help me.
“I heard my name.” He smirked. Brandon. Always smirking. GAH. Not cool.
“That you did.”
“What was the question again?”
“If you heard your name, then you heard the question as well.”
“Maybe I just want to hear it again.” Brandon smirked. Ugh, stop that. Him smirking? Gr, kinda sexy. And I can’t believe I just thought that. Damn it. I hope he didn’t hear that.
“Nah. I’m good.”
“Hm..So you’re not going to repeat your important question to your sexy boyfriend?” He smirked again and whispered in my ear. “I can read your mind, Love.” He lightly kissed my neck before pulling back, still smirking. Ugh, one of these days, I’m going to kill him. Maybe. I don’t know yet.
“Jerk.”
“Well?” I sighed in defeat. This guy just never gives up.
“Fine. I want to know. What do you see in me? There are so many girls here, who are obviously better than me. Why did you pick me?” Brandon just starred at me. I was about to give up and leave, but he had different plans. He pulled me towards him and kissed me. I couldn’t help myself, I kissed back. Something was different about this kiss. Almost loving. Wait, no. It was loving. Brandon just kissed me with all of his passion. Damn it, boy. You are making things difficult. And I know you can hear me! I felt him smirk under the kiss and slowly pull away. Ugh.
“There is my answer. Happy?” Brandon smiled. I was still kinda dazed but I smiled back.
“Yeah.”
“Good.” He smiled and kissed my forehead. “Come on. We have charms next.”
“Okay.” I smiled and stood up. Wasn’t long till Brandon took my hand and we walked to charms together.

I woke up in the Hospital Wing. Ew, I hate hospitals. Smells like death. For some reason, I didn’t open my eyes. I kept hearing people whispering. Didn’t catch much, but I knew exactly who they were.
“How is she?” Mags, that was obvious.
“She’s still out. Should be waking up soon.” I heard a male voice say. But his voice sounded extremely close. That was until I realized my head was laying on some ones chest. Then I realized who said that. Brandon.
“You two look adorable together. Did you tell her?” I heard Faith whisper.
“Yeah, just before she blanked out. Oh, hey Madam Pomfrey.”
“Hello, Deary. She should be awake by now.” I felt some one rest their hand on my forehead and then pull back. “Yup. She has a slight Fever. I suggest she stay one more night.” One more night? How long have I been out?
“One more? But Madam Pomfrey, she’s been in here for two weeks. She’s gonna want to leave when she wakes up.” I heard Soren whisper. Thank you Sor! Yeah, Sor is his nickname.
“I am sorry, but what I say is final.” I heard footsteps leave. Great, I have to stay in here one more night. I guess I should wake up now.
“Guys, I think she’s waking up.” I heard Cooper say as I opened my eyes.
“No, really? I thought I was dead.” Yeah, gotta be sarcastic. Everyone just chuckled and I sat up. But got pulled back down.
“Nope. You’re staying right here.” I heard Brandon smirk. Me being me, I rolled my eyes.
“Oh, She rolled her eyes!” Cooper laughed. Jeez, these people are so stupid sometimes. I guess thats why they’re my friends. Everyone else just laughed and smiled, said their goodbyes and left.
“Uh…Brandon?”
“Yes?”
“Can you please let go of me?”
“Nope. Like I said, you’ll wake up in my arms. I’m not letting go anytime soon.” You can hear the smile in his voice. So, it wasn’t my head. He really did speak to me in my mind.
“Wait…so, I wasn’t hearing things?” I looked up at him. Damn it, big mistake. He was starring at me.
“Nope. Everything that you heard was me. I found a spell that lets you enter someones mind. And it worked. By the way, nice touch on braking that guys arm. No one is gonna touch my girl and get away with it.” Brandon smirked. His girl? Since when did I become his girl?
“Oh, joy. Now my mind is never safe.”
“You say that like its a bad thing.”
“Well, it is invasion to someones Privacy.” Yeah, I just have to be a smarty pants.
“How did you not get sorted in Ravenclaw?”
“I really don’t know.” Brandon smiled at me and rested his forehead against mine. Damn it, his eyes again.
“Madam Pomfrey is right. You’re burning up.”
“Ew. So I’m on fire?” I smiled. Brandon, of course, just laughed.
“Oh love, your so silly.” There he goes again. Calling me love. “You know, everything I said in your mind is true.”
“Huh?”
“Angel. From the day we met on the Train, to today. I fall even more in love with you.” I can feel the blush come into my cheeks. Brandon must have saw because he smiled. I looked up at him and remembered my promise I made. Don’t get close to anyone. Look where that got me. I have friends who are like family. and I fell for Brandon Davies. Note to self, don’t ever make promises like that again. I was about to reply when Dumbledor came in.
“Oh, good. Your up. Miss Burke, congratulations. Mr. Dolohov is now in Jail.”
“He wont be for long.” I sighed. Dolohov always has a way of getting out of things. Not even Azkaban can hold him in.
“I beg your pardon?”
“Professor, Dolohov has a reputation of getting out of anything. Azkaban can’t hold him for long, even with the Dementers help. Nothing can stop him.”
“I promise you, Miss Burke. We wont let that happen. But, let us worry about that. You should get some rest.” Dumbly smiled and left. Sighing, I laid my head back down and felt Brandon hold me closer. Before I fell asleep I heard him whisper in my ear.
“Don’t worry, Love. We wont let him get you.”

I woke up to someone stroking my hair. Damn it, I don’t care who it is, I do not like people touching my hair.
“You know. If you keep touching my hair, I will rip your arm off and feed it to the Three Headed Dog.” I growled and looked up. Brandon, of course. Should have known. Whoopees.
“Ouch Love. Don’t be so hurtful.” He chuckled but kept stroking my hair. Shoot, even that feels good.
“Sorry, I just don’t like being touching my hair.”
“Well, you’re gonna have to get used to it.” Brandon smirked and kissed my forehead. Blah! That is all.
“Blah. Hell no.” I said while sitting up. Brandon just laughed and sat up.
“Hm…someone is Feisty.”
“You have no idea.”
“I like it.” Brandon winked and kissed my cheek. Before I could respond, he got up and left. Damn it. I hate that guy sometimes. I looked around and saw my ripped up jeans and shirt. My shirt was a simply, plain, green T-shirt. It is ripped on the sides and around my stomach. Not to mention burned, and has blood smeared on it. Yeah, all of my clothes are like that. Once I got changed and walked out, my stomach growled. Well, time for lunch. When I walked into the Great Hall, the first person I saw was Soren. He was sitting with Faith. So I walked over and sat next to Faith.
“Hey guys.” I smiled. They just looked at me for a minute and then tackled me in a hug.
“WE BLOODY MISSED YOU! THANK GOODNESS YOUR OKAY!” They screamed together. As for me, I just laid on the ground laughing.
“Guys, get off of me!” I laughed. They just laughed and got up. When I sat down Mags and Cooper ran over.
“ANGEL! YOU’RE ALIVE!” Of course, they would say that.
“Really? I am? SOME ONE CALL THE PRESS.” I grinned and grabbed an apple. Everyones laughter grew silent when Dumbledor took the stage.
“Good Evening Students. I am pleased to inform you that our very own Student, Angel Burke, is awake and well. In fact, She’s in here right now. Her mission was a success, and there is more in store for her. And I am pleased to say, there is no classes today. Carry on!” Dumbledor smiled and walked back to his seat. More in store? Man, Dumbledor sure is a Mystery.
“So are you Love.” I heard Brandon whisper in my ear. Damn it! Brandon! Stop reading my mind! Its creepy! He just laughed and smiled at me.
“You’re a jerk.” I smiled back and took a bite of my apple.
“Ouch, that hurt.” Brandon grinned and also took a bite from my apple. You know, I would be mad, but I’m not.
“Good. It was meant to.” I smiled and laid my head on the table.
“Angel? You okay?” I heard Mags ask. I just nodded and yawned a little. I heard Brandon chuckle.
“Angel. Come on, I want to show you something.” Before I could say no, Brandon picked me up and carried me outside.
“Gah, Brandon! I just want to sleep.” I am very tired. Even if I have been sleeping for two weeks. Brandon just chuckled and sat down against a Tree, with him on his lap.
“Angel, look up at the sky.” I looked at him confused but looked up. I saw the stars shinning bright. Right before my eyes, the stars started moving and coming together. Soon the sky read, ‘I love you Angel Burke. Will you do me the honors and be my girlfriend?-Brandon Davies.’ I stared at the sky in shock and turned to look at Brandon. He was looking at me with nervous eyes. He looked like a lost puppy, giving me his puppy dog eyes. I was lost for words as I got lost in his eyes again. When I finally caught my breathe, only one word came out.
“Yes.” Brandon smiled widely and kissed me. I, happily, kissed back. Who would have thought I would fall for someone. There is only one thing running through my mind. Why me? Out of all of the girls in this school, who are obviously better than me. Why did he pick me? Of course, I’m happy and all. I just want to know, what does he see in me that is so great?

I was sitting in the Library trying to clear my head. What happened yesterday? Why did I get those feelings towards Brandon? What the hell is wrong with me? I promised myself I wouldn’t let that happen. My thoughts were broken when some one sat next to me.
“Hello Angel. Oh, are you zoning again? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bug you.” Yup, classic Jessica. She’s so kind, sweet. Its no wonder she got sorted into Hufflepuff, and when she talks. Its like a whisper. It just proves how shy and kind she is.
“Oh no, Jess, its okay. No worries. How are you?” I smiled. Jessica just looked around, being cautious. She always does it, but I don’t mind.
“I’m alright. How was your day with Brandon?” Jessica smiled shyly at me. Aw. Jess is adorable.
“It was alright. Why?” Why is everyone interested in my day with Brandon? Weird.
“Oh, nothing. so, what are you doing? I mean..well..uh, yeah.” Jess just looked down at the table and I chuckled.
“Its fine Jessica. I’m just here to clear my head. The Library is always a good place to think. What are you doing here?”
“Actually, I came here to look for you. You see, Dumbledor needs to see you for something.”
“Ah, I see. Thanks Jessy.” I smiled and hugged her. What does Dumbly need? Did I do something wrong? Eh, time to find out.

“Ah, Miss Burke. And just when I was beginning to think you got lost.” Dumbly had that sparkle in his eyes again.
“Nope. Sorry. I’m a fast learner.” I grinned.
“Very good. Maybe that will help you.”
“Help me? With what?”
“I have a little mission for you.” Mission?
“Mission? What mission?”
“Well…it involves in you going back to Texas.” Seriously, he can’t be serious.
“What?! No! I can’t go back there! I’ll…I’ll freeze up! I can’t…” Please no. Dumbly just stood up and walked over to me. He hugged me. Even if it is weird hugging a professor, I gladly hugged back.
“I’m sorry, Miss Burke. But there have been attacks happening there. And the Ministry want you to go and figure out what is going on.”
“Why me? I’m just a child! I’m not strong enough. Why can’t you just let an Auror go? Please Professor. Anyone but me. Please…” I felt like crying. I never cry. Never had cried. How? because crying shows that your weak. I grew up with people calling me weak, so I didn’t cry. Don’t start now, Angel. Don’t you do it.
“I truly am sorry. But it is out of control. The Ministry knows about your past, and they believe you are the reason behind these attacks.”
“Me? What the fudge?! How can it be MY Fault?!” If you haven’t noticed, I’m pissed. Yeah, I don’t cuss. Saving that for the right time.
“The attackers…Is your old friend. Joseph Dolohov.” No. Not him. Anyone but him. I thought I would never hear his name again. Now he’s going to kill me.
“W-what? Please Professor! Please don’t make me do this!”
“I’m sorry Angel. But you must. Joseph must be caught and sent to Azkaban. Only you know how to catch him. Now, get some rest. You leave first thing in the morning.” I didn’t say anything. Just ran out of there and to my dorm. Why me? Just when my life was starting to get better. Dumbledor, I hope you know what your doing. Because I don’t.

I wish I never woke up. I wish I never went to Dumbledor’s office. And most of all, I wish I never lived. Why does it have to be me? Why can’t someone else be in my spot, walking around the old streets of my hometown. No. This street is not home. Its Hell. Everywhere you turned, you see Graffiti all over the place, you see banks getting robbed, Houses setting on fire, little kids bullying others, and families walking around, and obviously have not taken a shower.
“Hey you! Girl! Front and center! Now!” Some man yelled at me. You see, in the town. If the girls don’t do what Men say, we get beat. Badly. But I don’t have time for this. I came here for some stupid reason, I’m not going to let some man stop me yet. So, I just kept on walking. But I felt an arm grab me by my hair. Big Mistake. I twisted around and kicked him, hard, in his jaw. Once he caught his balance and tried to grab me again, I grabbed his arm and twisted it around him. Pulling it up his back till I heard a huge crack. He screamed in pain. Yup, I just broke his arm. Good.
“Ever touch me again, I will make sure I am the last face you will ever see.” I growled and pushed him on the ground. I felt eyes on me, but honestly, I don’t care. I’m done caring. While I was walking, I heard a voice from behind.
“Well, hello Love. Fancy seeing you here again, eh?” Perfect, just who I needed to see. I turned around to come face to face with my number one nightmare. Joseph Dolohov.
“Funny, you say that like you knew I would come here soon.”
“You can’t hide forever Angel. You know that. I knew you would come back. They always do.”
“Ha, I didn’t come here willingly.”
“Like that matters.” Before I could respond Joseph grabbed me by the throat and threw me against a building. Um, ouch. That kinda hurt. Whatever. I stood up and growled at him. “Ouch, someone got Feisty.”
“You have no idea.” I glared and ran towards him, once I got close enough I jumped up in the air and kicked him in the face. Hard, might I add. I’m pretty strong for a girl.
“Fuck…” I heard him whisper. Smirking, I kicked him again and pulled him up. Grabbed him by his collar and pulled him towards me.
“Looks like the tables have turned. You know, the good side always wins.” I then kneed him in the shin and kicked his head, causing him to fly backwards into a glass window. Karma, I love you.
“And you know change is a good thing.” Before I could respond I got this sudden pain in my whole body. The pain is unexplainable. I had to use everything in my power not to scream. I know what he has done. I’ve felt this pain before. Crucio. One of the unforgivable curses. “Ah, forgot you were used to this.” Joseph just smirked and help the curse. I started growing weak as I fell to the ground. But some random voice ringed in my head.
‘Come on, Angel. Stand up. You’re not weak. Don’t let him get to you. You’re stronger than him, you’re better than him. You can beat him and you know it. Come on, Doll. Please, don’t give up just yet. You have so much more to live for. Come on, Love. You can do it. Fight back. Face your fear. Show him who the Real Angel Burke is.’ Brandon. I knew it was him. But, how did he get inside my head? Whatever. Now is not the time to zone off. I stood up and took out my wand jut when he broke the curse.
“Oh, is Little Angel mad?” Joseph smirked. Mad is an understatement. How about pissed the hell off. I pointed my wand at him.
“Bombarda Maxima!” I watched as the building behind him blew up and crumbled on top of him. I know its not enough, he still got up. But he’s growing weak. I just know it. I saw him reach for his wand and growled. “Expelliarmus! Sectumsempra!” I watched as he fell to the ground in pain and screamed. I saw another building near him and pointed my wand at it. “Bombarda Maxima!” I watched as that building exploded and landed on Joseph. Waiting. I soon realized he didn’t get up. I would have got up him to take him to the Ministry, but I fell to the ground as my vision started going black.
‘Good girl. I’m so proud of you, Love. You did it. You faced your fear. He wont bother you anymore, Doll. Now, don’t you worry. Close your eyes. Its okay. You’re not dieing. Just close your eyes and you’ll wake up back home. Back with us, and in my arms again. I love you Angel…’ That was the last thing I heard in my mind before I fell unconscious. The only thing I can think of was Brandon. Did he really just say that he loves me? Or am I just hearing things?

The Black Lake. Its very peaceful here. But why do they call it the Black Lake? Hm…I’ll ask soren when he gets here. And I must have zoned out again because Soren was waving his hand in front of me, grinning. I blinked.
“Huh? Oh! Hey Soren! How has your day been?” I smiled.
“It was good. And yours? I heard you got Detention. How did that go?” Soren laughed. Of course, I’m not surprised. News Travel fast here, thats the first thing I learned. You have no idea how many people came up to me, asking if I could play them a song.
“It was good. Left early. Oh! And I made a new friend. She should be here soon.” I started looking around for Faith. Smiled when she started running towards me. “Here she is! Soren, this is Faith Malfoy. Faith, this is Soren Bones.”
“Nice to meet you Soren! Angel, sorry I was late. Draco was chasing me around the common room again.” Faith grinned. Can’t help but laugh. That is something Draco would do.
“Nah, its alright. Gave me time to think.”
“In other words, she zoned out AGAIN.” Soren grinned. You know, I can already tell these two are going to get a long great. They started a conversation while I zoned out. Again. I really need to stop doing that. Its getting annoying.
“ANGEL!” Faith screamed in my ear. Making me jump and scream. Causing Soren and Faith to laugh. Gee, thanks guys, laugh at your friend.
“What the hell Faith!?”
“Sorry! You zoned out again! What were you thinking about? Brandon?” Faith smirked. Ugh, she just HAD to bring him up.
“No. I was thinking about Chocolate Rainbows.” I looked at them with my serious face. Do you know how hard that is? They were looking at me like I had two heads. “What? It could happen!”
“Sure it can, Angel!” I turned around to see Mags and Cooper walking over.
“Sorry, they wanted to come.” Faith said. I just smiled at her.
“Its okay, I don’t mind. And yes it can Cooper! Don’t ruin my dreams!” I pouted. Hey, when I was little, I always wanted to see a Chocolate Rainbow.
“Sorry Sis!” Cooper laughed. Wait…Did he just call me sis? He must have saw my face because Cooper grinned even more. “Yup, you are now a Rosier!”
“And don’t you forget it!” Mags jumped in and sat next to me with the bigged smile on her face. I couldn’t help but smile back and look at the lake.
“Angel, come on. We have Transfigurations soon.” Soren said while standing up. I just nodded and stood up.
“See y’all later.” I said while walking away with Soren. I forgot why I even signed up for Transfigurations. Well, I forgot why I even signed up for all of my classes. Yeah, I’m a straight O student. America likes to rush us. Kinda annoying. Wait no, scratch that, its very annoying.

“Today, students, we are going to turn these Dragon Statues into a real, fire breathing Dragon.” Professor McGonagal explained. She had me at Dragons. I love Dragons. I heard Soren laugh quietly next to me, probably at the excitement look on my face. But when I looked around, I saw almost all the girls looked frighted.
“Oh my god, girls here are such pussy’s!” I whispered to Soren. That just made him laugh even louder.
“Miss Burke! Since you are so found of words today. Why don’t you demonstrate for us?”
“Gladly.” I grinned and stood up. Wow, girls here are cry babies. They looked at me with scared eyes. And almost every boy where hugging them. I blame hormones. But what ever, I get to form a Statue into a Dragon! Fun! I took out my wand and pointed it at the statue. “Draconifors.” I smiled even brighter when the Statue turned into a Dragon.
“Perfectly done, Miss Burke! Tell me, how did you do it so perfectly on the first try?”
“Its not my first try, Professor. I’ve done this many times.” I smiled and scratched the Dragon behind the ear. He’s really kind. Well, all dragons are like that around me. I guess I have Dragon It.
“Wow, Amazing. Miss Burke. Meet me after class. And don’t worry, you are not in trouble.” McGonagal smiled at me while I help my new Dragon in my palm and sat back down. I think I’m gonna call him, Scales. I must have zoned off again because Soren was shaking me.
“ANGEL, WHATEVER YOUR MIDDLE NAME IS, BURKE.” I looked up at him.
“Yes Soren?”
“Professor McGonagal needs you now.” Soren chuckled and left. Oh yeah, forgot about that. You see what zoning does to me?
“Miss Burke, so glad to see you’re awake now.” McGonagal smiled. You know, I’m just gonna call her Kitty. And suffer the punishment. It’ll grow on her.
“Oh, thank you Kitty. I needed that nap. But, what did you really need?” I can tell she was about to yell, but she just smiled. Ha! I knew she would like her new name!
“I would like if you could Tutor one of my Students. He is failing with a T.”
“A T? Ouch. Okay, I’ll do it. When should I tutor him?” Ew, a T. T stands for Troll.
“Right after Class. Lucky for you, he’s in this class.”
“Okay, I can do that. Who is he?” Please be some on I know.
“Brandon Davies.” Well, I did say some one I know. Damn it. I should have been more specific.
“Okay. I’ll do it.” Kitty smiled even more and waved me off. So, I have to tutor him? Oh boy, this is going to be a long year. Well, for me.

“ANGEL! OVER HERE!” I guess I’m sitting with Mags today. I looked over at Soren and have him the ‘I’m sorry’ look. He just smiled and waved it off. Now I know why he’s my friend. He’s very sweet.
“Hey guys.” I said while sitting next to Faith. All three of them were just grinning at me. “What?”
“You have to tutor Brandon! Yay!” Mags explained. I looked at her like she had grown two heads. Cooper laughed.
“The whole school knows, Ang. News travels fast, remember?” I looked at him weirdly. Ang?
“Wait, did you just call me Ang?”
“Yup! Its your new Nickname! You don’t like it?”
“No, I love it. Its just, I never had a Nickname before. I’m gonna have to get used to it.” Lie. I do have a nickname. But it was given to me by some one I truly hate. Who’s name I will never speak of again.
“Really? Well, you do now!” Mags giggled. Oh joy, more giggling.
“Do what now?” We heard a voice from behind. I didn’t turn around, already knowing who it was. Plus, he sat next to me. Very close, might I add.
“Brandon! Just in time! Guess what?” Cooper smirked. Facetable. Thats all I have to say.
“Angel! You know its not good to Facetable. What is it Coop?” Haha Coop. sounds like Poop. Uh…yeah, I have probables. Just, ignore that.
“Angel is your new Tutor for Transfigurations!”
“Oh really?” I felt his gaze on me as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. “Well, this is going to be a fun year. Wont it Doll?” Brandon smirked. Wait, Doll? Isn’t that what British boys call girls when they are flirting? Ew. I think. Dear god. Some one help me, I’m so confused.
“Yeah, I guess. Sorry guys, but I got to go. I need to finish my homework.” I smiled and stood up, walked over to Soren and gave him a hug. And walked out. I just want to know why does he need a Tutor when he can successfully turn into a Dog? And why did he call me Doll? I blame the Professors. 

Waking up to the sun shining in your eyes is not my Idea of a good wake up call. But of course, I had to roll out of bed and land on my back. Lucky for me, I have the dorm to myself. And out of no where, my owl Nightstream flew in with a Letter. Aw, I love my owl. I gave him a piece of bread and took the letter.
“Dear Miss Burke,
We are pleased to inform you that you will be Tutoring Mr. Davies this morning due to no Classes today. Please take notes, so he gets full credit.” Damn it, I have to tutor him now. I looked at the clock and got dressed in my normal scratched up jeans and black T-shirt. Yeah, these Jeans are old. But I love them. saying goodbye to Nightstream, I ran out of the Common Room and walked over to Soren.
“Hey Soren! How was your night?”
“It was good. Had the best dream ever. And you?” Soren smiled.
“Eh, it was alright. I’ve been having Nightmares for as long as I can remember, no biggy!” I grinned. Yeah I know, why am I still grinning? Honestly, I don’t know.
“Nightmares? What about?”
“Eh, stuff from my past. Don’t worry about it.” I smiled and took some of his Bacon. I’m a light eater, and Soren doesn’t mind. I was happily munching on my Bacon when some one sat next to me.
“Hey tutor. Whenever your ready.” I heard Brandon smirk. I looked at Soren for help but he just smirked and walked over to Faith. Yeah, thanks for the help Soren!
“Alright. I’m ready. Lets go.” I stood up. Brandon looked at me weirdly. “What?”
“You barely ate. Come on, Doll. Finish eating. I can wait.” He smiled at me.
“Nah, I’m not hungry anymore. I usually don’t eat Breakfast. Come on, We’re going to the Black Lake.” I didn’t give him time to respond, I just walked off. I can hear him run after me. But out of no where, he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.
“Ha! Now you’re mine!” You can hear the grin in his voice.
“You know. I would fight back, but I’m to tired.” I decided to kick him. But he caught my leg and sat down against the Tree, with me on his lap. Why does this feel right? Why do I wish I can stay in his arms forever? Whenever I’m in his arms, I feel safe. Like nothing can hurt me. This is weird. Maybe I can ask Soren later. He’ll know what is going on with me.
“So, lets get started.” I heard Brandon whisper in my ear. But I didn’t even see him get ready. he just layed his head on my shoulder and held me close. I ended up laying my head on top of his.
“Something tells me you don’t really need a Tutor.”
“You’re right. I don’t.” Brandon chuckled softly. Damn. Even his chuckle makes me want to smile.
“Then why did you Lie?”
“Because I wanted to spend time with you alone. Is that wrong?”
“Well, you did lie. Lying is wrong. So yeah, it kinda is. You could have just asked me.”
“Well, you always seem so distracted. And you keep zoning off, its hard to get your attention.”
“I’m sorry I have things on my mind.” I chuckled. Brandon just laughed and smiled.
“Don’t be. I’m just happy I got to spend some time with you. Alone.” The way he said alone sent shivers up my spine. And I’m not taking about the bad kind. It felt good. Weird. Brandon just smiled and kissed my cheek. Damn it, I think I just blushed slightly. ONLY SLIGHTLY. So, odds are, he didn’t see it.
“Angel?” Brandon whispered.
“Yeah?”
“How come you don’t let anyone in?”
“Uh…I have my reasons.” I didn’t want to say my real reason. I just, don’t trust people easily.
“What reason is that?” I can feel him looking at me. Again with his eyes, they just draw me to him. So, I looked up. And met his eyes again. They were so inviting. And I kept getting lost in them. But I didn’t want to leave. The way he held me close, I never wanted to leave. My head was telling me to get away, but something else was telling me to stay in his arms forever.
“I have trust issues. Its hard to let people in.” Truth. 100% truth.
“Would you like me to help you?” No. I’m good on my own. I don’t need help. Never have, never will.
“Please do.” Damn it! It was his eyes. They distracted me again. They just sparkled while Brandon smiled. I couldn’t help but smile back. Brandon kisses my cheek again and layed his head on my shoulder, pulling my closer. Something was different about that kiss. Instead of on the cheek. He kissed me on the corner of my lips. I felt a blush rush up to my cheeks. Good thing is, he didn’t see. Brandon had his eyes closed. Thank goodness for that.

“Angel!!!!” I heard Mags yell from behind. You know, some times I think those people follow me everyday.
“Yes?” I asked while turning around.
“What class do you have next?” Cooper asked.
“Charms. You?”
“SAME!” They said together. Huh, must be a twin thing. But I couldn’t help but to laugh.
“Wow, so you can laugh!” Mags said.
“Maggie! Don’t be so rude!” Cooper said then turned back to me. “Sorry about her.” I just shrugged and continued walking. I was humming to a song when I practically crashed right into some one. Making us both fall over. I knew right away it was a guy, because he was really heavy and on top of me.
“Ouf! Ugh. Ow.” He mumbled. I saw Cooper smirk and walked away with a giggling Mags. I worry about those two sometimes. But I have more things to worry about. Like, who the hell is still on top of me?! He was crushing me.
“Uh….Can you please get off? You’re crushing me.” I said while trying to sit up. But he was literately on me. From head to Toe. I couldn’t see his face because my eyes are closed. That fall hurt. Weird thing is, he didn’t get up.
“Oh, sorry about that Angel. Didn’t see you there.” Of course, it just HAD to be Brandon. World, why are you out to get me? And why do I not mind that he’s on me? Ugh, I’m so confused. And now it feels good to have him on me, kinda like I never want him to leave. Okay, I’m officially freaked out.
“Nah, its okay. I wasn’t ether.” I said while trying to get up, but failed.
“Zoned out again?” He asked and smirked. Propped himself up on his elbows so he can see my face more better.
“Yup. Don’t I always?” I couldn’t help but smile. Every time I see his eyes, I want to smile. Ugh, stop it please!
“Very True.” Brandon smiled back and ran his fingers through my hair. “Has anyone ever told you that your hair is like Fire? Because its so red and all.” I couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Yeah. A lot of people tell me that.”
“Hm..Not to mention it smells like Apples. Ain’t that right, Miss Horse?” Brandon winked and then grinned. What is he grinning about this time? The world will never know.
“Neigh.” I said as casual as I can. Hey, its hard to be casual when a very attractive teen boy is laying on you. Wait…Did I just say that? NO! Bad Angel! You promised yourself you wouldn’t do this! Damn it. His laugh. It just makes you melt.
“Woof.” He winked and then transformed into a dog. You know, I’m not that surprised. I know an Animagus when I see one. But his dog form is my favorite type of dog. A Border Collie. Damn it, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But I still smiled and scratched him behind his ear while sitting up. Finally! The floor hurts.
“Woof!” Brandon said again while wagging his tail. Don’t ask why, but I giggled. Yeah, animals bring out the girl in me. Its scary. Brandon freezed and looked at me.
“What?” I asked while tiling my head to the side. Brandon transfigured back and was on top of me again. But this time, he had me pinned down. His legs on both sides of my waist, his fingers interlocked with mine as he held them over my head. He was just staring at me. Saying nothing. Hey, I’m not complaining. But I should be. But it felt good with him on me. I know, weird. And don’t go saying I like him, I can’t like some one. Especially if I just met them. This isn’t a Fairy Tale Folks. Brandon coughed softly and then stood up, still holding my hands. Which made me stand up as well.
“Er, sorry about that.”
“It’s alright. We better get to class.” Brandon nodded and let go of my left hand. He pulled me along gently by my right. I felt him stroke the top of my hand with his thumb. Wow, that felt good. When we walked into Charms, every girl started giggling. I swear, its like this whole school shares a secret about me. Its creepy.
“Miss Burke. Mr. Davies. So glad you two finally decided to join us. Take your seats. You two will be serving Detention with Snape tonight for being late. Now…” Thats when I trailed off. Charms was a fun class, but I already knew what the Professor was teaching. So I just leaned my head on Brandon’s shoulder and took a well needed nap.

The rest of the day un-eventful. Not much happened. But now its time for my Detention with Snape. Yay! And yes, I’m actually happy. Snape isn’t that bad, you just have to get on his good side.
“Howdy Professor!” I grinned when I walked in. From the corner of my eye I saw Mags, Cooper, and Brandon.
“Miss Burke. What are you doing here?”
“Just wanted to see my Favorite Professor, of course! I didn’t know that was a crime!” I faked gasp. And grinned when everyone, even Snape, laughed.
“Professor? She was late to Charms with me.” Brandon said while chuckling.
“Hey! I had a perfect good excuse to be here and you just HAD to ruin it!” I faked glare at him. Again, everyone laughed. Am I really that funny?
“Well, I trust Miss Burke will keep you three out of trouble. I’ll be back in an hour.” Snape chuckled and left. Like I said, he’s an awesome Professor. So I just jumped up on his desk and Accio’d by Guitar and started playing.
“You play?” I heard Cooper ask. When I looked up, all three of them were smiling.
“Yup. Why?”
“Can you play us something?” Mags asked. I just smiled and nodded. And started to play one of my favorite songs.
“Did I say something stupid?
There goes one more mistake
Do I bore you with my problems?
Is that why you turn away?
Do you know how hard I’ve tried
To become what you want me to be
Take me, this is all that I’ve got
This is all that I’m not, all that I’ll ever be
I’ve got flaws, I’ve got faults
Keep searching for your perfect heart
It doesn’t matter who you are
We all have our scars, we all have our scars
You say don’t act like a child
But what if it’s a father I need?
It’s not like you don’t know
What you got yourself into
Don’t tell me I’m the one who’s naïve
Do you know how hard I’ve tried
To become what you want me to be
Take me, this is all that I’ve got
This is all that I’m not, all that I’ll ever be
I’ve got flaws, I’ve got faults
Keep searching for your perfect heart
It doesn’t matter who you are
We all have our scars, we all have our scars
Come on, just let it go
These are things you can’t control
Your expectations, your explanations
Don’t make sense to me
You and your alternatives
Don’t send me to your therapist
Deep down I know what you mean
And I’m not sure that’s what I wanna be
Oh oh, oh oh oh, no oh
Take me, this is all that I’ve got
This is all that I’m not, all that I’ll ever be
I’ve got flaws, I’ve got faults
Keep searching for your perfect heart
It doesn’t matter who you are
We all have our scars, we all have our scars
Oh oh, oh oh, no no no, oh oh, ooh oh oh
Did I say something stupid?
There goes on more mistake.” I finished to clapping behind us. Again, I didn’t want to look stupid, so I didn’t jump.
“Wow, you are amazing! Who knew the new girl can sing.” I turned around and saw a girl who looks like she just turned Thirteen. She has Long blond hair, and her eyes seemed to change Colors. She must be a Meta. Weird, she kinda reminds me of…No, Angel. You came here to forget about that, don’t start now.
“Um. Thanks. Who are you?”
“Faith. Faith Malfoy.” Faith smirked. Malfoy? Wow, didn’t know Draco had a sister.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Angel Burke.” I said while putting my Guitar down. I was about to jump down from the desk but Brandon got in front of me. Wrapping his arms around my waist and standing in between my legs. This guy is such a weirdo. But why am I not complaining? Every one else just smirked.
“You too! Oh, and Draco told me what happened during Potions. Bloody Brilliant!” Faith grinned.
“Thanks.” I laughed and looked at the time. “Time to go.”
“Aw, really? But we’re all in different houses! Besides me and the Rosiers, of course.”
“Hey, maybe tomorrow we can hang out by the lake. I’m meeting my friend there.” I smiled. Maybe it will give Soren a chance to make friends as well.
“Yay! Okay, I’ll meet you there!” And in almost a blink of an eye, Faith was gone. I looked around and saw I was alone. With Brandon. Joy. Again, sarcasm.
“How does she do that?” I asked looking up at him. Ugh, I hate being short. He chuckled.
“Who knows. Come on, we gotta get you to sleep.” He smiled at me and leaded me out of the classroom. Walking to the Gryffindor Common Room, I kept feeling his gaze on me. It was kinda annoying. Before I even got the chance to say the password, Brandon kissed my cheek and left. Smiling to myself, I walked to my dorm and fell asleep. I wonder, what is Soren gonna think about Faith?
