As I was running out of Hogwarts, I didn't even pay attention to where I was going. After a while I stopped, panting. I looked around and realized I was in the Forbidden Forest. I wasn't that scared, I had faced much worse than the Forbidden Forest before. And then I remembered the first time I was here. It was detention with Hagrid, we had been caught after hours(sneaking an illegal baby dragon out of school, thankfully no one had found out about that). Draco had been after hours as well to turn them in. He had been so scared that night when he and Harry shared a, not very romantic, walk in the forest. Harry remembered how Draco had tried to get him to run when they ran into the unicorn eater, but Harry couldn't. He was stuck, his scar burning. So Draco had said. "Fine wait here and die then!" And ran back to Harry riding a centaur. A twig snapped in the trees behind me. I pulled out my wand and pointed it towards the noise. A Thestral trotted out. It's bat-like wings half open, I felt like the Thestral's huge white eyes were staring into me. It tilted it's half horse half reptile head in the way a child would upon seeing a new play-thing. I lowered my wand but not all the way. "It's okay," a soft voice said behind me. "There safe, you can trust them." I turned around once again. Draco Malfoy was standing right behind me. My heart stopped, eyes wide, I backed away. I hadn't been this close to any other human since Draco had broken up with me. "Dragon?" I asked as if to make sure it was really him. Draco smiled sadly. "It's ironic the last word you said to me was 'Dragon'." I felt my cheeks burn. Even though I had tried to convinced myself I hated him and he still could make me blush. I kicked myself. No, I thought, I hate him I hate him I hate him. But I was kidding myself. I loved him. Draco stepped closer. My breathing was getting faster. Was this really happening? I stepped closer as well. "I love you little lion." Draco whispered and kissed me. But I couldn't feel anything. And Draco disappeared. I had been hallucinating the whole time. "Stupid, stupid stupid stupid." I muttered to myself, willing myself as hard as possible not to cry. Digging my nails into my right arm I soon realized I was making my myself bleed. Cleaning the blood with my sleeve I started walking back to the castle ignoring the Thestral that was apparently real.
