New Beginnings

Chapter 13: Alo Alone


It had been 2 weeks since Sarah had her un consented kiss with Matthew. She had felt slightly awkward around Ron and highly awkward around Matthew. When around Ron Sarah tired her best to act as normal as she could around Ron and it worked.

Sarah sat in the library reading. She felt odd, she felt as though there was something following her, everywhere she went. She knew there was but every time she looked around she saw nothing. She was scared and worried. It was as though she was never alone. It scared her. She couldn’t sleep at night. She would toss and turn, feeling another presence with her in her room.
Sarah sat in the library alone reading some books. Right now she knew that there was something around her, watching her as she read. It was eerie and scary but Sarah chose to ignore it. Hoping that nothing would happen. She heard rustling coming from behind the bookshelves and froze. Then she saw Ron.
“Ron!” Sarah shot up. “How long have you been here?” Sarah walked over to him and hugged him tightly.
“Ah, I just got here.”
“Oh.” Sarah pulled away with a frown.
“What’s wrong?” Ron asked.
“I think there’s someone following me.” Sarah whispered.
“Malfoy?”
“I don’t know. I don’t think it’s him it feels different.”
“Come on I think you need to get some food into you.” Ron took Sarah’s hand and led her out of the library. Sarah looked around trying to see if there was anyone suspicious following her. But still there was no one around.
“Ronald do you think I’m crazy?” Sarah asked with a hurt tone.
“No!” Ron shook his head. “I think you might be paranoid.”
“I am not paranoid! I can feel it. There’s something here, following me.”
“Sarah please.” Ron stopped walking and grabbed her by the shoulders. “No one is around, look.”
“You can’t see them. Ron I’m not fucking mad. I know what’s happening.” Sarah hissed.
“Ok, ok. I believe you.”
“Thank you.”
“But I still think you should get something to eat.”
“I’m not hungry.”
“I don’t care. You haven’t been eating lately.” Ron pulled Sarah towards the kitchen.”

Sarah walked into the great hall and sat down at the Slytherin Table. She heard a flapping of wings and watched as the owls flew into the hall. One owl dropped a package in front of her. Sarah picked up the package. She began to feel a little ill. She slowly opened the package and she saw a small pile of moving photos and a letter.
Sarah picked up the photos and had a look through them. There we’re ones of her sitting in the library reading, kissing Ron, sitting under the oak tree, walking around the Quidditch pitch, talking to Harry and Hermione, walking to Hogsmeade, drinking a butterbeer with Ron. Someone was spying on her. She knew it. She put down the photos and picked up the letter.


You’re never alone. I will always be following you, watching you. Always. I want you and I will get you. I’ll do anything to get you. Maybe even kill. We’ll just have to see what I come to. Tell your boyfriend to watch out!

“Draco!” Sarah grabbed the package and shoved it into her book bag then ran off. She went looking for Draco knowing that this was his doing. He was becoming so pathetic now. He was annoying her a lot lately. Sarah burst into the Slytherin common room and walked straight up to Draco’s bed room. She slammed her fist on to Draco’s bed room door. The door opened and there stood Draco. “HOW DARE YOU!”
“What did I do?”
“You know what you did.” Sarah reached into her bag and took out the letter. “What’s this Draco?” Sarah shoved the letter into his chest. Draco opened the letter and read it.
“I didn’t write this.” Draco gave the letter back to Sarah. “I’d never do that.”
“Bullocks!” Sarah snatched back the letter.
“Fine don’t believe me.” Draco walked over to his bed. “Maybe you should look for someone else.”
“There’s no one else but yo-” Sarah remembered that there was one other person. “Matthew.” Sarah whispered.
“Do you want help?” Draco asked, sympathetically.
“No.” Sarah shook her head. “Sorry.” Sarah left Draco’s room and walked around looking for Matthew’s bedroom. She found his room and knocked on the door. The door opened.
“Hello there.” Matthew smirked.
“What are you playing at?” Sarah shoved the letter and a picture forward.
“I don’t know.” Matthew tired to hide his grin.
“You sick fucking bastard. Leave me alone!” Sarah shouted. “I don’t want you I don’t even like you. You’ll never get me.”
“Oh don’t be too sure.”
“FUCK YOU!” Sarah walked out of the room, Matthew followed her out.
“Remember you are never alone.” Matthew smirked. Sarah ignored him and kept walking. She had no idea what to do. She left the common room and walked around the school trying to look for Ron in his common spots.
Sarah walked outside and saw Ron, Harry and Hermione sitting by the large oak tree. Sarah walked over to them.
“Hi.” Sarah said, slightly rushed. They all looked up at her.
“Hello.” Hermione smiled.
“Sorry to interrupt but could I please borrow Ron?” Sarah asked.
“Yeah go ahead.” Harry nodded.
“Thanks.” Sarah grabbed Ron’s collar and pulled him up. She pulled him away from Harry and Hermione so that they wouldn’t hear what she’s saying.
“What’s wrong?” Ron asked.
“This is.” Sarah opened her book bag and gave Ron the letter and the photos. Ron stared at them with wide eyes. “I told you there was someone following me!”
“Who is it?” Ron asked in outrage.
“Ah…” Sarah thought it would be best not to tell him. “I don’t know but it wasn’t Draco.” Ron stared at her for a moment.
“I’m sorry.” Ron gave Sarah a hug.
“It’s ok.” Sarah smiled and kissed Ron on the lips. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry and Hermione watched on.
“I wonder what they are talking about.” Hermione muttered.
“I don’t know but Sarah looks angry and Ron looks stunned.”
“Yeah they do.” Hermione agreed. “Hopefully they are breaking up.”
“Hermione why do you always want them to break up?” Harry asked.
“Because they aren’t supposed to be together.”
“Well I don’t think that’s going to happen any time soon.” Harry pointed over to Ron and Sarah as they kissed.
“Oh I guess not.” Hermione sighed.
