Chapter 1

Footsteps thunder through the halls as the trio rushed towards the hospital wing.

Just as they were about to skid to a stop before the entrance, the door flew open and Madame Promfrey hurried out, looking frantically at the blonde they had levitated,"Quick! To the nearest bed!"

"What's wrong with him?"Hermione asked Blaise and Theo nervously as they watched Madam Promfrey run diagnosis on the unconscious blonde before them.

Blaise and Theo exchanged glanced silently, agitating Hermione in the process. Before she could rephrase her question, Theo spoke up, "It's Ague. I'm sure everything would be fine-"

Hermione didn't believe a word Theo said. The fear and concern in both Blaise and Theo's eyes told her that it was something much worse, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was. Moreover, as they arrived at the Hospital wing, many professors were already there, each and every one of them had solemn looks on their faces. Even Hagrid seemed to be avoiding her gaze.

"Miss Granger."Dumbledore addressed Hermione who was still trying to get over the shock of finding a pale and dying Draco Malfoy collapsed near the Great Lake.

Hermione lifted her head to face the headmaster, "is..is he going to be alright?"

"I believe Mr. Malfoy will continue to fight for what he believes." Dumbledore replied, though no affirmative twinkle reached his eyes.

Hermione raised her eyebrows in question, just as she was about to speak up a loud thump came from their right. They turned to see that Blaise had punched a wall, blood was running down his knuckles.

"You have to tell her." Blaise spoke with fury evident in his eyes.

"Mr. Zabini" Snape warned in a low voice.

"She should know."Blaise uttered as he took another defying step towards Snape, "my friend is dying in there without her knowing what-"

"ENOUGH Zabini!"Snape exclaimed, "you may leave the wing if you are uncomfortable here. You as well Miss Granger."

"NO!"Blaise protested.

Theo quickly pulled back the fuming teen and frowned at him, "he wanted us not to tell. You have to at least respect his wishes."

Not to tell? Hermione furrowed her eyebrows together.

"Well he's not in his right mind is he?" Blaise spat as he shrugged off Theo's hand, "we both knew that when he left, he-"

"Blaise, don't-"Theo glared at the Italian while sneaking a worried gaze at Hermione.

"and we call ourselves FRIENDS."Blaise laughed sarcastically as he pushed Theo out of his way, "some bloody great friends we are. Letting him die like-"

With that, Theo snapped and launched a punch at Blaise. The two broke out into a fight, knocking into Hermione who flew towards the wall beside her.

"Ms. Granger!" she could hear Professor McGonagall shouting at her frantically. She couldn't respond due to the thumping ache on the side of her head. She could feel herself losing grip and soon, all she could see was darkness. She tried to grasp onto her last thought, the thought that all of this was too familiar. She had seen him in this same situation too. But somehow, she feels like there's an empty hole in her memories, a empty whole which holds the clue that ties this all together.

-Few months ago-

It was a great day for quidditch, the pitch was filled with bustling students anxious to see the Gryffindor and Slytherin match. Red and green dots flashed across the field, trying to outdo their opponent.

"And Draco Malfoy takes the quaffle again!"Seamus announced into the microphone as he watched the game attentively, "come on Ron block the stupid git! Ow! Sorry professor Snape, I will watch my language! He flips in the air and shoots! Damn it Ron, that was an easy block my own grandma could have made! Ow sorry professor McGonagall I'll be sure to watch my mouth next time."

Ron huffed and muttered a curse under his breath. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Seamus yelling again, "Ginny has the quaffle! Come on! Get it through the hoop girl! Seriously guys! Come on! Don't you dare let the slimy gits win. Ow!"

Ron rolled his eyes as he ignored the sound of Seamus apologizing to McGonagall once again for his foul and biased speech. He glared at the blonde mop of hair across the pitch. Once they had returned back to Hogwarts to redo their seventh year, Malfoy had changed his position from seeker to chaser and the Slytherin team was unbeatable. He hated to admit it, but the git was very good at the position and is giving the Gryffindors a hard game. In some games they had watched, Malfoy had scored so many goals that catching the snitch couldn't help the other team secure their win. He turned his attention back to the game upon hearing Seamus yell," And the snitch has been spotted! Harry and Brad are both hot on its tail! Come on Harry! Finish the game and show those slimy green gits wha-!Ow!Anyway, carry on!"

Ron turned to look at the scoreboard they were 160 to 20 with the Slytherins in lead. He frowned, the effects of the potion should be kicking in soon.

"Ron!A quaffle's coming your way!"Seamus yelled, Ron turned in time to see and feel the quaffle bounced off him, earning groans from the Slytherins. He could see from the corner of his eyes that Harry was closing in on the snitch. The two seekers tumbled down to the ground, a gloved hand shot up in the air with the delicately golden engraved words HP "and…Harry Potter caught the snitch!"Seamus screamed along with his house, "an instant win for Gryffindor! In your face you slimy gi-Ow!"Ron beamed at Harry that's when Dean flew up to him with a quaffle in his hands, congratulating his block. He smiled at his teammate and took the quaffle from Dean, turned and trained on a certain dazed blonde in green.

Draco shook the daze from his eyes, they should have won! He could have gotten the last shot in if it wasn't for the sudden dizziness that hit him, causing him almost to fall off his broom. He tried to shake his head again but it only got worse. The familiar blazing pain shot up his forearms.

"Draco? You alright mate?"Blaise asked from his far right.

Draco struggled to nod, then he heard Theo yell, "Draco!duck!"

He turned in confusion to see a quaffle coming his way. It hit him in full force knocking him off the broom. "Draco!" Blaise and Theo rushed over to catch him in midair.

"Mr. Weasley!" He could hear McGongall exclaim before passing out.

The professors rushed over to the blonde that was lying limp on the grass. Theo and Blaise stood to the side looking frantically at their friend.

Ron landed and scooted over with Harry.

"How is he?" Snape asked Madame Promfrey who was examining him.

Promfrey stopped her wand movements and her eyebrows furrowed together into a frown,"There's a pulse but...something's not right."

Blaise gulped as he saw the dark patterns swirling on his friend's arms. He and Theo shared a look before quickly dashing to the locker room in search for his friend's vial.
