"This," Malfoy said as he pulled out a bouquet of flowers and a little velvet box.
   "Oh my gosh!  Thank you," Cam said as she jumped on Malfoy and gave him a big hug.  She accidentally squashed the flowers in the process.  "Oops...sorry."
   "No problem," Malfoy said as he took out his wand and repaired the flowers.
   "What's in the box?" Cam asked letting go of Malfoy.
   "Open it."
   She did and inside was a ring.  "What's this for?" Cam said.
   "Well, it's not what you think it is.  I'm not talking about marriage."  He laughed.  So did she.  "It's just a little promise of mine to you."
   "And what is that promise?"
   "The promise of love.  I'll always be there for you.  It's just a little thing we call a 'we'll go for it in the future' ring."
   "Okay....I don't understand...."
   "Cam!"  It was Cam's mother.  She was there to pick her up.
   "Oh...I gotta go.  So...I still don't understand," she said as she walked to her mother.
   "You will, Cam...you will," Malfoy said as he turned around and walked away.  Just as Malfoy left, she understood.

"Where've you been?" Cam asked.  The expression on her face showed worry and curiosity.
   "I was picking something up for you," Malfoy said simply.
   "I think I'll leave now.  I heard someone yelling from behind that wall and I think it might be Uncle Vernon," Harry said.
   "Bye, Harry!" Cam and Malfoy said at the same time.
   "Bye, guys!  Have a great summer."  With that, he went through the wall and onto Platform 9 on the other side.
   "So....What exactly was so important that you had to pick up instead of hanging with us?" Cam said to Malfoy as Harry left.
   "Were you that worried about me?" Malfoy asked, grinning.
   "What was it, Malfoy?" Cam asked eagerly.

Sam saw her parents and said good-bye to Cam and Hermione, with a big hug for Harry.  And she was gone as well.  Soon, Hermione said she had to leave also because her parents said they'd be picking her up on Platform 9.  So, she was gone.
   It was only Harry and Cam left at the platform.  "Where's Malfoy?" Harry asked.
   "I don't know.  I haven't seen him all morning."
   "Wait!  Is that him over there?" Harry said as he pointed to a figure in the distance.  Sure enough, it was Malfoy.  He was running towards them with something in his hands.

"Wow...a Death Eater," was all Hermione could say.
   "Don't worry.  I'm not that stupid."
   "Cam, you're not stupid at all," Sam said.  She coughed after that, which Hermione thought sounded a bit like 'Ms. Straight A's'.
   
   Sooner than they had expected, the Hogwarts Express arrived at King's Cross Station.  Everyone stampeded towards the exit doors, awaiting a great summer.  Cam and her friends stepped out as well.  They looked around for their parents (or rides).
   "Bye, everyone!" Ron and Tom said, waving as they walked towards Ron's mother.  Tom was "carpooling" with them because he didn't have a ride home.  As soon as Ron got to his mother, he ran back.  "Sorry, Herm," he said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek.
   "Bye, Ron.  Have a nice summer," Hermione said laughing.
   "You too."  He was gone.

The next morning, everyone was busily getting their last minute things done.  Last minute packing and exchanging of addresses and phone numbers (if they had any) was occurring.  The Great Hall was serving a small breakfast, such as bagels and small juice kegs.  At around 10 o'clock, everyone was rushing to the train.
   While Cam, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Sam, and Tom were on the train, Cam wondered where Malfoy had gotten to.  She hadn't seen him all morning.  As the boys played Exploding Snap, Hermione, Cam, and Sam went to the other side of the compartment to talk.
   "What's wrong, Cam?" Hermione asked with a concerned face.  She had noticed Cam's silence.  
   "She's worried about Malfoy," Sam said as if it was obvious.
   "I wasn't asking you, 'Ms. Seer'," Hermione said laughing.  Then she looked at Cam.  "I'm sure he's fine, Cam," she added.
   "It's not that," Cam said.  "I'll see him again next year.  It's just I can't help wondering, with the whole You-Know-Who thing going on, if he, or anyone, is safe."
   "Your so paranoid, Cam," Sam said.  "No offence or anything.  He's fine.  Even if his father is a Death Eater, he'll be-"
   "What?" Hermione said surprised.
   "Umm....You're right, Herm, there's nothing to worry about," Sam said changing her glance from Cam to Hermione in less than a second.
   "Lucius Malfoy is a Death Eater?  How do you know this, Sam?" Cam asked, trying her hardest to look serious.
   "Look, I'm sorry, Cam.  I was walking around the school, looking for my next class, when I bumped into Malfoy.  My brain thinks before I tell it to.  That's how I found out.  But...Cam you can't tell anyone okay?  You too, Hermione.  I mean, about Malfoy's dad.  You'd have a pretty hard time explaining it."

"Bye, Honey-Bear.  I'll pick you up at the Platform tomorrow.  And good-bye to you, too, Mr. Malfoy."
   "Good-bye, Ms. Coy.  It was nice meeting you," he answered.
   "As you little people say, 'same back!'"  They all laughed.
   "As Ms. Coy was about to leave, Cam stopped her with another question.  "Umm...Mom?"  She turned around.  "Does this mean that I can finish up school in Hogwarts?"
   Ms. Coy gave Cam a stern look.  "Never mind," Cam said quickly.
   Ms. Coy smiled, "Of course, Honey-Bear.  I'll pick you up tomorrow.  Bye, kids"
   "Bye," Cam and Malfoy said at the same time.
   Once Ms. Coy had disapparated, Cam and Malfoy leaped for joy and started talking instantly on Cam's luck.  As they reached the door, Cam said good-bye.
   "'Night, Cam, sweet dreams," Malfoy said as he kissed her.
   "G' Night," Cam said in reply and headed for Gryffindor Tower.

After walking for a bit and talking about what's been going on, Cam brought up the subject of the shape-shifter.  Cam's mom stopped abruptly, causing Cam and Malfoy to look back at her.
   "What's wrong, mom?" Cam asked.  "Are you okay?"
   "I'm fine, but...oh, Honey-Bear, I'm so sorry!"
   "Huh?" Cam said confused as her mother hugged her tightly.
   "I didn't mean to cause you any harm."
   "What are you talking about, Ms. Coy?" Malfoy asked.
   "I was the one who sent the shape-shifter after you."
   "Who's the shape-shifter?" Cam asked, eager to find out who it was.
   "Kevin...."
   "Kevin?!" Cam and Malfoy said together.
   "Yes....I sent him out to break the friendship of you two.  I had a gut feeling that something bad would happen if you two continued being friends."
   "Okay....I guess I can see why you did it, but Kevin actually went along with it?"
   "Yes.  I'm so sorry, Honey-Bear.  But I do have some news that will cheer you up."
   "I never liked him...." Cam said to herself.  She clicked back to reality.  "Huh?"
   "I said I have some good news for you."
   "Oh.  What is it?" Cam asked.  Malfoy listened intently.
   "Well, I broke up with Kevin."  Cam beamed.  So did Malfoy.  "I caught him in a 'Starbuck's café' with some muggle girl.  I was so mad that I went up to him and...well, I don't want to say the rest."
   "So...it's really, it's really over?" Cam said smiling.
   "Yes.  It is.  And I'm so sorry it ever started."
   "Don't worry about it, Mum."  Cam gave her mother a hug and walked back up to the castle with her and Malfoy.  As they approached the Slytherin common room, Cam's mother gave her farewells.

oh, btw, just to let you who are reading know, this story has been done for over two years now i think.  so, don't think i'm leaving you hanging when the story ends....that's really how it ends.  well, anyhow, back to the story....

"What do you want?"
   "I want to talk to Malfoy."
   "Well he doesn't want to talk to you.  So if I were you, I wouldn't bother," she snapped.
   "Who is it?" a voice said behind Pansy.
   "No one."  But that wouldn't stop the person.  He pushed  Pansy aside and stood in the door's entrance.
   "Hey, Cam!"  Of course, Malfoy hadn't believed Pansy for a second.  "Who's your friend?" he asked nodding towards Ms. Coy.
   "This...is my mom," Cam said proudly.
   Malfoy snorted.  "Sure, Cam.  Sure."
   "Come out, Malfoy," Cam said with a serious expression.  He obeyed.
   "You can't be serious," Malfoy said, eyeing Ms. Coy.
   "I am."
   "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Malfoy," Cam's mom said, reaching to shake his hand.
   He shook it, realizing that Ms. Coy was the real thing.  "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Ms. Coy.  I've been waiting for quite a while.  Cam's told me so much about you."
   "I hope they were all good things," she replied laughing.
   "Don't worry.  They were."

"I never knew that..." Cam said when her mother had finished.  Other than that, she was speechless.
   Ms. Coy broke the silence.  "So...I'm really sorry, Honey-Bear.  I want to be totally honest with you, but I need to ask you to do the same with me.  Is there anything you want to talk about or know?"
   "Well...actually there is.  I need to ask you to do me a favor."
   "What is it?"
   "I want you to talk to him."
   "Your father?  You know that's not possible."
   "No, no.  Malfoy.  I want you to get to know him."
   "Umm...Okay.  But how?  When?"
   "You're seriously gonna do it?"
   Ms. Coy sighed.  "Of course."
   "Okay, then.  Come with me."  Cam led her mother into the Hogwarts castle.  She went down some stairs and stopped at a door.  She knocked on it.  It opened and Pansy looked out.

"I'm sorry about that too," Angela Coy told her daughter.  "I should've gotten to know him better.  I just looked at his family's background and thought that he was like all the rest.  His father...I can never forgive him for what he did - because I know he did it on purpose."
   "What?  You mean that he actually put Dad in Azkaban even though he knew he was innocent?  Why?"
   "Well, the Malfoys aren't really big fans of muggles.  I shouldn't be telling you this, but...Lucius Malfoy is a Death Eater."
   "No way!"
   "Yes way.  He had caught one of your dad's muggle friends to take to You-Know-Who as some sort of 'sacrifice' or something.  Your father stopped him.  Lucius was punished by his Master and sought revenge on your father...and he got it."  Ms. Coy looked really strong when talking about her husband.  Something that most women cannot do if their husbands have died.

"Oh...I-I'm s-so sorry," Cam stuttered.  She looked at the person she had run into.  At first she thought she was dreaming.  It was....
   "Mom?"  Cam couldn't believe it.  "Oh my...oh my, gosh!  Is that really....Mom!"  She ran up to her and hugged her hard.  Her eyes were starting to well up with tears of joy and relief.  "How?  How....how are you here...how?"
   "Stop for a second, Honey-Bear," she said calmly.
   "You lied?  Or...what happened?  Kevin...he - "
   "Honey-Bear, let me explain," she tried again.  Cam finally calmed down and sat on the grass with her mother.
   "I didn't really die," she started.  "It was a cover up.  The Dark Lord had come to the muggle world in search of his past followers - and enemies.  Your father and I worked part-time in the Ministry as part-time Aurors.  I was one of the main people he was after.  Cornelius Fudge had agreed to help hide me and some of the other retired Aurors from him, even though he didn't believe that You-Know-Who was getting stronger.  The only person I told was Kevin.  I asked him to send you those letters.  I came to Hogwarts tonight to check up on you.  I wasn't planning on running into you....I'm sorry, Cam."
   Cam paused for a while, taking in her mother's story.  Then she said, "No, Mom.  I'm sorry.  I'm sorry for what I said to you.  I didn't mean it.  I was just really upset at the time.  I just wanted you to understand...about Malfoy."

   She walked around the hallways for a while, looking for the exit.  Luckily, no teachers or staff (not even Filch or Mrs. Norris) were walking around at the time.  They were also having a party in the teachers' lounge.  Cam finally found the large doors leading outside and went out.
   She walked to an open field and took in a deep breath of Hogwarts air.  It felt wonderful...and sad, knowing that this was the last day she would be able to breathe it.  She felt so wonderfully wonderful that she started to run with her eyes closed and her arms out, taking and feeling as much air as she could.  Suddenly...BANG!  She ran straight into someone.
