We, who witnessed what happened, were all called to McGonagall's office, to explain what happened and what we saw.

I was there, with Blaise by my side, along with Harry, Ron and Hermione, while McGonagall talked with Leanne.

"You're sure Katie did not have this in her possession when she entered the Three Bromsticks?" McGonagall asked firmly, while the necklace layed on her desk.

"Yes, she went to the bathroom, and when she returned, she bringed the package, and kept saying that it was important that she deliver it." Katie said softly.

"Did she said to who?" McGonagall asked.

"Professor Dumbledore." McGonagall eyes switched at Leanne's words, and her body tensed.

"Thank you Leanne, you may go." McGonagall said firmly, and Leanne left the room.

Me and Blaise remained against a corner, a few inches away from Harry, Ron and Hermione, as McGonagall turned only to them now.

We've already said everything we've heard and saw when Katie's attack occurred.

"Why is it, when something happens it is always you three?" McGonagall asked firmly to the three of them.

"Believe me Professor, I've been asking myself the same question for six years." Ron said, and McGonagall replied nothing as she saw Snape entering her office.

"Severus, I'm so glad you came." McGonagall said, as she turned to face the necklace, and Snape stood now next to her.

He examined the necklace carefully with hia wand, with the most soft movement, avoiding directly touch with it.

"What do you think, Severus?" McGonagall asked carefully.

"I think miss Bell, is lucky to be alive." Severus said firmly.

"She was cursed, wasn't she?" Harry said firmly. "I know Katie, if she was delivering that to Professor Dumbledore she wasn't doing it knowingly."

"She was indeed cursed." McGonagall said, noting her head, as she, along with Snape, were still watching the necklace carefully.

"It was Malfoy." Harry said in a sudden, and surprising moment, catching me off guard.

Both my gaze and Blaise's were focused on Harry and before I could even think this through I heard Blaise's firm tone.

"Watch your words, Potter." He said firmly, but Harry didn't even flinched.

I was slightly shaking my head, unbelievabin Harry's words, which he had spelled each one of them very confidently, and clearly for everyone in the room to hear, almost like he had absolutely sure of what he was claiming to be the truth.

"That is a very serious accusation, Potter." McGonagall said firmly, even she was shocked by his own words.

"Indeed." Snape said firmly, eying carefully Harry. "Your evidence?" Snape asked.

"I just know." Harry said firmly, and Blaise snorted quietly, as he shaked his hean, meaning as if he was laughing at the embarrassment Harry was putting himself into.

"You just...know." Snape said repeating his words, making them even more insane than said by Harry, but he did not gave up on his firm features. "Once again you astonish me with your gifts, Potter, gifts mere mortals can only dream of possessing, how grand it must be...to be the Chosen One." Snape said firmly, as all our gazes were now forth between him and Harry.

A awkward silence quickly entered McGonagall's office, we could even hear eavh others breaths for how silent and quiet people were, until Blaise coughed, showing of how embarrassing and awkward this was being.

"I suggest you go back to your dormitories, all of you." McGonagall said firmly, and we did as she said.

My gaze remained on Harry who was walking in front of me, I would definitely needed to have a word with him, and I would not let him escape.

As we were already outside her office, Blaise turned to me, and so did I, but kept my gaze for just a few more seconds on Harry who was not many steps away from us, talking with Ron and Hermione.

"Well today's was, quite enjoyable." Blaise said softly, and slowly made me look at him, having raise my head due to the highs difference.

"Yeah, indeed." I said throwing him a smile, but looking at Harry again, checking if he was there.

"You're thinking about Draco, aren't you?" Blaise said, gaining my full attention.

I looked at him, and focused on my thoughts before even answering him, as I let them take over me.

Harry's words had some type of impact in me, accusing Draco of a tentative of murder, is something atrocious, insane even, I knew Harry and Draco had their disputes, but never thought it was this far, this serious enough to make such accusation, personally, I don't even think Draco was capable of doing such.

Draco indeed went to the bathroom, and so did many people, it doesn't mean anything, Harry is just someone I had misjudged, taken by the idea he was perhaps different, but I was lied into my face, and fell for it like a fool.

"You're not believing the nonsense that left that Potter's big mouth, are you?" Blaise asked as he noticed my thinking, and I shaked my head, but my eyebrowns remained knitted as my mind was in both places at this moment, reality, and my thoughts. "You know Draco is many things, you already know which, he's selfish, rude, quite stupid sometimes, too prideful, the most stubborn person you will ever met..." I laugh a bit at his sentence. "...he's annoying, sometimes arrogant-"

"Blaise, I think I get-" He continued with his sentence, cutting me off.

"But he's not a murder" He said softly, as my gaze locked with his.

I nodded at his words, Draco is everything but a murderer, and Harry as being insane, and stupid by such accusation.

"But again you already know that." Blaise said softly, and I smiled at his kind words.

Draco, may be distant, now more than ever, but perhaps that's only due to his father arrest, perhaps he thinks that he's like him, and therefore dangerous like him, so pushed away the people he cared the most.

Or perhaps, I'm just lying to myself, trying to erase the pain Draco left in my body by telling me the cold words he did the last time we spoke.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Harry starting to move away, and I looked over at Blaise, which he imediatly understood that I was in a rush.

"Well Lara, we have to do this again." He said softly, and I nodded in agreement. "Except the part where a girl was almost murdered of course." He said amusingly.

I smiled at him, and waved off as I walked quickly, trying to catch Harry's steps.

"Harry!" I shouted and he turned to me.

"Lara, what's wrong?" He asked softly, as he turned from his back to facing me.

"I just want to talk with you if you have time." I said softly, my gaze looking between Ron and Hermione.

"Oh right, of course, Ron, Hermione, met you at the common room." Harry said and then waved at him as they left. "So what do you want to talk about?" He asked softly, turning to me.

"Are you out of your mind?" I asked abruptly, making him flinch, and furrow his eyebrowns, clearly confused by my question, not that I was waiting for a response either ways. "Accusing someone of almost murder without proof?" I asked firmly, and he seemed to understand.

"Lara, you saw him too, I know you did." Harry said firmly.

"That doesn't mean anything! He entered the bathroom and so did many more, you're being insane." I shouted.

"It's obviously Malfoy, I know it, I thought you would be on my side!" Harry said angrily.

"Harry do you know how serious that accusation is?" I asked abruptly, he was being irracional, and letting his obsession get over logic.

"I don't care, I know Malfoy is up to something, something not good, and you will regret for not believing me, I thought you were on my side?!" Harry said abruptly.

"Well I thought too Harry, I thought too." I said disappointed by his reaction, I thought that he was different, but he's just like everybody else.

"Why are you defending him?" He asked firmly, calming his tone down, seeing that a lot of people was focused on us.

"I'm not defending him, I'm just following the evidence and logic, and which you have none." I said angrily.

Not that I was being the most racional person ever, it was clear that I was letting my feelings take over me, by completely refusing the idea Harry had planted in my head, but I know Draco didn't do this.

"And how do you know that it was not him, how can you be so sure?" He asked firmly, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"I just know." I said repeating his before words at McGonagall's office.

"You just know, that's not an answer, it's rubbish-" He cut himself off, when he realized it was the very same thing he had told Snape not more than five minutes ago, and looked away from me, embarrassed.

"Do you see how insane did you looked, how are you looking right now?" I asked firmly, however, I was not waiting for an answer from him.

He didn't replied, like foreseen, he just looked at the floor, thinking of ways to let me believe in his crazy theory, but he had found none, I could read his frustrated face.

I have put at work, another of my mother advices, he choosed crown and throwed a coin in the air, but what he didn't know, was that the coin had two crowns.

Typical from someone like him, always waiting for have the reason, not ready for the truth, because like a person I have much care off said...truth hurts.

"Are you serious going to be on his side?!" He shouted abruptly.

"There isn't a side Harry!" I said firmly. "And if there is, I am in none of them." I said as I walked away from him, leaving him standing alone in the hallway.

{☆~☆}

Days have passed, the days had got colder, and so did almost everyone I knew.

The news about Katie Bell spread fast, already the all school knows, apparently she's alive, but she's been taken to St Mungo's Hospital due to her still being unconscious.

Draco is the one that I want to see, and still, he was nowhere to be found, I'm sure he keeps disappearing every night, to go to only-Merlin-knows-where, because he never showed up at the Astronomy Tower again, I know that, I go there every day.

Every time I go there, the cold iron that touches my neck is more sensible than ever, something that Tower does to me, that makes me want to grabb the necklace, and cry silently as the tears decay on the top of the ring, that during the day, remains inside my shirt.

It's awkward being with Charlotte in the dormitory I must admit, that's why most of the time, I'm alone in the common room couch, or maybe even in the library, just reading some random book.

I knew for sure that Matthew wouldn't appear here, in the common room, because Blaise had told me he would have a dinner today in the Slug Club, and it's more that certain that Matthew would be at that dinner, he's a great student, specially at Potions, and so he wouldn't refuse a opportunity to make part of a exclusive Club like this one, do I took by guaranteed that he would be there as well.

"Good evening." A voice said behind me.

I turned around, and looked over my shoulder, to see Matthew peering down at me, he was taller, way more taller than I thought he had got.

Of course, from all the people I had to met now, it had to Matthew, and even worst, we has to be alone in this common room.

"We aren't you at the Slug Club dinner?" It was the first thing I said, quite abruptly may I say.

"Hmmm, because the dinner is over." Matthew said coldly, in a tone as if saying that was quite obvious.

I looked over at the clock disposed at the wall, almost eleven p.m, it was obvious why was he here already.

"And you? How are you supposed to know that?" Matthew asked, capturing my gaze at him.

"It's none of your business, Angelo." He flinched at the sudden sound of his last name, only his last name said by my voice.

"Angelo?" He took a few doubtful steps towards me, as my head was still looking over my shoulder so I had a vision of him. "You never called me Angelo before." He said firmly.

"I called Matthew to the boy I thought I knew, and Angelo to the new him seeing as I don't know him, and have no intentions to." I said firmly, as I turned to look at the fire place in front of me, hoping he would just walk away from me.

But the world has never made things easy for me, and this wasn't the time either.

I heard his steps getting closer to me, as I rolled my eyes when I felt his presence right besides me.

"Just for you know, I never wanted anything of this to happen." He said, his tone getting softer.

I gave a small laugh at his sentence, he was being selfish again, because with that sentence, he was insinuating that all of this was my fault.

"Oh, so you mean that I wanted? That it's my fault?" I asked with a grin on my teeth.

"I-" I cut him off before he could continue.

"But you know what?" I asked firmly. "Perhaps I did want this to be my fault, perhaps I prefer being alone instead of someone who only cares about him, and no one else." I said coldly, tilting my head to lock my gaze with his, just a little bit.

He remained silent for a moment, as if processing everything I said, but the only thing I wanted, was him to leave.

"So this is how is it going to be henceforth?" He asked firmly. "Pretend like we are complete strangers, and always have been."

"You need to have consequences from your acts, in this case, from your words, therefore, yes, it will be like this." I said firmly, not even looking at him while saying so.

"Yeah okay..." It was the only thing he said as he walked away from me, but I heard his footsteps came to an halt when he was climbing the stairs. "I've always told you hang out with Draco would end up us like this, I wished you'd have listened to me." He said coldly, and I heard him walk away.

I didn't cried, or even got any reaction at all, his words perhaps are glued to my mind, as well with other things, but he himself had no reaction in me.

Draco was right, he was always right, I needed new friends, or even being alone perhaps, at his eyes anything was better than Matthew, before I wouldn't agreed with him, but now, things are different, if I have learned something with Draco, was that people are not always what they seem to be.
