Who is that girl i see
staring straight back at me
why i cant i see the girl i have been
what is that boy doing to me
why is my spirit being tamed by those blue eyes

Ashley got up. She had on her pjs which consisted of a read tanktop and golden fleece bottoms. She had been crying again that night as she dreamed of the day Hermione was taken from them. She wiped her face. It was stained by her tears though. She walked down the stairs. She was the first one up. Usually she was the last one up but things have been different. She hadn't seen Max since that day as well. She missed him.

She walked outside and ran around the house trying to calm down. That days events kept playing over and over in her mind. She ran faster. Of course she wasn't paying attention so she accendently tripped on a rock in the front yard. Damn it she groaned. Could things get any worse. She sat down and wrapped her arms around her legs and held them to her chest. She buried her face and started crying. It would be an hour or so before anyone got up. She had time to let her pain out.

You are the music in me
You know hte words once upon a time
Make you listen
There's a reason

Max was having a wonderful Christmas break, despite the fact that he couldn’t spend it with his girl, Ashley Granger. Right now, he was in his room listening to his music, when he heard tapping on his window. Looking around, Max saw an owl outside of his windows. Max smiled to himself knowing that it was probably from Ashley. Who else would write to him? Thinking that the letter was about how Ashley hated the fact that they couldn’t be together for the holidays, he walked over to his window and let the tawny owl in. Once the owl was on its way, Max turned to his bed and sat on it, savoring Ashley’s handwriting on the envelope. Finally opening the letter, Max unfolded the parchment and began reading. When he was through, he was anything but happy. How could there have been an attack at Hogsmeade, and he couldn’t be there to save his girlfriend? Finally deciding on what he was going to do, Max walked to his closet and pulled out his broomstick.

Ten minutes later, after making sure that his parents were out of the house (from doing errands), Max was up in the air on his broomstick, flying to the Granger’s house. He knew that he would be in trouble, but who cared at the moment. It’s not like he’s a rule-breaker after all. He smiled at the thought of that and thought Ashley would be proud of me! After what seemed like hours, Max finally spotted the Granger residence and landed near a tree, and laid his broomstick against it. He could pick it up later. His mind on going to knock on the Granger’s door, Max heard someone crying a few blocks away. As he got closer, he saw that it was Ashley and he ran the rest of the way and kneeled down next to her, worry written in his eyes. ”Ash, Are you ok? I got here as soon as I heard.

Ashley fell to the ground crying. Why did they have to take Hermione. Why couldn't they take her or that she saved Hermione. She hated it that she was a helpless loser. She felt someone kneel beside her. She then heard Maxs voice say Ash, Are you ok? I got here as soon as I heard. She looked up to his eyes and said No im not. Im a dumb ass loser that cant save her sister and I have to be nice to the asshole Draco Malfoy who is in my house.

She sat up and hugged her knees. Why couldn't I save her Max. I was so close but I let that Alyssa Black girl hex me. I couldn't stop it. She got up and started to pace tears streaming down her face. Why all of a sudden am I so worthless. Hermione has been tacking care of me and I can't save her.

Max watched, his eyes widening as he watched his girlfriend Ashley berating herself, claiming that it was all of her fault that her sister got kidnapped and etcetera. ” No I’m not. I’m a dumb ass loser that can’t save her sister and I have to be nice to the asshole Draco Malfoy who is in my house.” Ashley snarled at him, sitting up and hugging her knees. Max kneeled down and gently pulled Ashley to him, not knowing what to do or say. He knew that it was pointless in arguing with her, because Ashley was a little stubborn, when it came to her family. He looked down at her as she addressed him again. ” Why couldn't I save her Max? I was so close but I let that Alyssa Black girl hex me. I couldn't stop it.” Ashley whispered, pulling away from him. ”I’m not sure Ash, but I do know that you wouldn’t have been able to stop her, even if that lady hadn’t hexed you. She’s a black, remember?”

Ashley got up and started to pace around, tears streaming down her face.”Why all of a sudden am I so worthless. Hermione has been taking care of me and I can't save her.” Max sighed, standing up. ”Look Ash, first of all, stop pacing around, you’re making me dizzy.” Max said, grasping her shoulders gently in his arms, attempting to pull her close to him. ”Second, you have to stop blaming yourself, and take action. I don’t know what much we can do, but if it makes you feel better, we can plan something” Max said, rubbing her back gently in circles, trying to calm the frantic girl down. ”You need to stay calm. If not for me, for Maddie, imagine how she’s feeling right now. She didn’t even get to see Hermione that day.” Max explained, still rubbing his hand in circles on Ashley’s back.
