Weeks later

Things were going all right. I was trying my hardest to keep away from Roger for the time being. I kept my hair color a brunette shade to blend in with everyone else. I was thankful I didn't have any classes with him. I sat either at the Gryffindor table or with the Hufflepuffs. I was amused as how much the two houses had adopted me.

I was excited when the notices when up for Hogsmeade. I was itching to get out and do something else. I was chatting away with Cedric, Heidi, Leanne and Justin over lunch one day. They were telling me about Hogsmeade.

"You have to try butterbeer."

"No... you have to go to the tea shop."

"Tama, go with me to Hogsmeade." I heard in my ear.

I turned and grinned when I saw Oliver.

"I'd like to Oli."

"I'll see you later then." he said.

I turned back around and saw the others smiling, with a few eyebrows raised.

"What?" I asked.

"Purple is an interesting color for you." Leanne smirked.

"What's with you and Wood?" Cedric inquired.

"I don't know." I shrugged.

"Tama?"

"Oliver has a hard time pronouncing my first name. So, he calls me by my middle name."

"Ah."

"Anyway, I should head to class. I'll see you guys later."

I got up and headed off to transfiguration class.


I caught up to Penelope on my way to class.

"Penny!"

She turned and waited for me.

"Hey Kiya!"

I saw the concerned look from her as I shifted the weight of my bag.

"Why do you take so many classes?"

"Partly is because it's expected of me. The other part is that I need a bunch of these classes for what I want to do."

We had reached the outside of the classroom when I was slammed into the wall and raised up a bit. I grunted when my head hit the wall.

"What's wrong with you?" Roger yelled at me.

"Leave her alone!" Penelope yelled.

I dropped my bag and saw other students stopping to watch.

"Nothing is wrong with me. It's you!"

"Mr. Davies! Put her down!" I heard a professor yell.

I managed to slip out of my cloak and dropped down. I kicked his feet out from under him. He fell with a thud. I stumbled as I tried to stand back up. Penelope came over to help me.

"Mr. Davies, that's enough!" Professor McGonagall scolded when she reached us. "Come with me."

He gave me a scowl as he followed her. I managed to get back up before I saw Oliver running over and everything went black.


"Will she be alright?"

"She'll be fine with some rest."

"I can't believe he did that."

"I'm surprised with her quick thinking and that she got loose."

"I'll be happier when he returns to normal."

"I'm sure when he finds out what's been going on, he'll feel guilty."

"It's not his fault."

"I know, but it's not fair to either one."

"True."

"Oli?" I muttered.

"Madam Pomfrey, she's waking up." he said. "I'm right here, Tama."

I cracked my eyes open and saw Oliver with a worried look. His hand felt warm in mine.

"Ki ni shinai.*" I muttered.

"I have to because I care."

Madam Pomfrey came over and took a look at me. I giggled when she touch my forehead.

"My head feels like someone hit me with heavy book." I said.

"I'll give you something for that." she smiled.

I glanced back over to Oliver and squeezed his hand.

"Drink this and if you want you can go, but I highly suggest some rest." she said when she handed me a cup.

I swallowed the contents down and made a face.

"Ugh!"

I heard them laughing at me as I handed the cup back.

"What?"

"Your hair went from white to teal."

"Oh."

I held out my hands to him and he slowly pulled me up. I wobbled a bit and fell into him.

"I got you." he whispered.

"I'm glad someone does."

I held onto his shoulder as he led me out of the hospital wing. The halls were quiet as we made our way to my dorm room. I looked up at the portrait and giggled when it asked me for a password.

"Caput Draconis" I said.

The portrait swung open and we entered. There was a table, a couch and a chair in one room. I crossed the room and opened the door to my bedroom. I set my bag down as I heard Oliver sit down on the bed.

"Nice place." he said.

"It's alright, but it's lonely." I sighed as I sat down next to him.

Oliver got up quickly and left the room.

"Oli?"

"I'll be back."

I sighed. I changed into a pair of t-shirt and shorts and went out into the other room. I curled onto the couch and pulled a blanket over me.


"Tama…"

My eyes snapped open and I saw Oliver with Percy and Penelope.

"Gomen.*" I said as I sat up.

"Huh?" Penelope asked.

"I meant sorry. I'm still getting use to talking in english all the time."

"We brought you food." Percy said, pointing to the table.

"Hmm… food."

I got up and headed to the table. I picked up the chopsticks and dug into yakisoba* and sushi.

"You guys are too nice. What's going on this weekend?" I asked.

"Hogsmeade."

"Oh yeah, it is. Anything else I missed?"

"Well, we heard that Snape was able to make a potion to return Davies to normal, but its going to take a couple of doses or so. They're hoping by the holidays he'll be back to normal."

"Oh joy." I snorted, "which holiday?"

"If Davies took a weak one then he'd be normal by Halloween. If its a strong one then it would be Christmas."

"I'll hope for Halloween. This isn't fair to him."

I kept eating as they chatted about the latest pranks Fred and George pulled and the up coming quidditch match.


Hours later

I said goodnight to Percy and Penelope. I shook my head as I heard the giggles echoing down the hall. I turned around to see Oliver lounging on the couch.

"I suppose I should go too." he said as he got up.

I frowned a little as he got closer to me. At first my eyes went wide when he wrapped his arms around me in a hug.

"Don't worry Tama. Everything will turn out for the better."

"Thanks Oli." I whispered when he let go.

After he left, I tried my best to fall asleep.
