You grown and open your eyes.
"Good morning! Your finally awake! It has been nearly a week!" Madam Pomfrey said rushing over to you. "Careful, if you move to much you may get dizzy." She warned as you sat up. "It's odd, That wound shouldn't have had such an effect on you. It puzzles me."
"Oh, well, I am a bit more sensitive to injuries, you wee, when I was little I had been kidnapped by death eaters and I grew up being abused greatly…"
"That would explain it, you poor child! I want to keep you here a few days."
"That's fine."
"Madam Pomfrey, can she have visitors yet?" asked a voice.
"Yes, she is awake." She said standing and walking away.
A group of Slytherins walked up to your bed and gathered around you. Draco was one of them.
"Whoa! The confusion!" you smile.
"What do you mean?" asked one Slytherin boy.
"I'm in Gryffindor but my first visitors are Slytherins!" you giggle. "So, what gives?"
"It was beastly, we all feel sorry for you, Yes, Slytherins have a tough-guy' reputation, but we would never do what we saw Potter do to you."
"And we descended to try to be your friends, ones you can trust not to try to kill you."
"Well, I think saying kill' is going a bit far, but thanks, I think I'd like to try to be friends." You smile at them. "Not to mention it was a Slytherin who brought me to the hospital wing!" you say looking at Draco.
"No problem, Wea-Willow."
"Well, we will treat you as if you were in Slytherin, the other Slytherins have also agreed."
"OH! We have Potions in about five minuets!" said Crabbe looking at his watch.
"Then you had better go!"
"We'll be back later." Goyle said
That evening. Ron and Hermione ran up to your bed. "We just heard you were awake! Are you okay?"
"Yes, Ronald." You smile rolling your eyes.
"What happened? No one would tell us!"
"Not even Harry?"
"No, he won't even look at us! He's just doing homework or in detention with Snape…"
"Oh, yeah, that would make sense…"
"Hu? What do you mean? It was Malfoy, wasn't it? What did he do?"
"He was the one who helped me, don't blame him, Ron."
"Malfoy… helped you?"
"Yes, he did!"
"Yes, I did! No thanks to Potter!" Draco said walking up to your bed.
"What do you want, Malfoy?"
"I'm just here to see that Willow's okay!" Draco said coolly.
"You-"
"Boys! Please stop! Draco, I'm about to tell Ron and Hermione what happened, Harry didn't fill them in at all."
"Figures, all right, I'll come back later."
"Thank you."
Draco left.
"Why did you call him Draco? And why were you nice to him?"
"Well, I'll get to that later, first I-" you saw Harry walk into the room. "Haven't you done enough all ready?"
"Look, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" Harry said.
"Will… what are you- Harry? What?"
"Harry was the one who beat me up like that."
"She's right, Ron, I did it…" Harry said looking down. I-I don't know how, but it was me…"
"H-Harry?" Hermione gasped.
"Don't worry, Harry, you didn't know." You smile at him. "I don't blame you."
"I- you went to ask my sister out, and you almost kill her?!"
"Ronny, please don't blame Harry! It's not that he tried to hurt me, see I am more sensitive to injury than most, and when I tried to stop him from hitting Draco, he pushed me, I tripped and fell…"
"Why is it Draco all of a sudden? What happened to Mallow?"
"Well, you three are not my first visitors, a few Slytherins came by, and Draco was one of them, and, well, we are friends now."
"Friends? With Slytherins? And Malfoy? Okay, I think you hit your head a lot harder than anyone thought!" Ron and Harry said together. They looked at each other and smiled slightly, you knew they had just made up.
"Nope, she didn't. If I can get a few words in, she had been friends with a Slytherin before the incident. I mean really close!" Hermione smiled at you and you smiled back.
"You thought it is time to tell them?"
"Yeah, why not?"
"What are you girls talking about?"
"She has a Slytherin Boyfriend."
"What?!"
"I went to the ball with him too!"
"No! you can't! I won't let you!" Ron said.
"Ronald, You have no say!"
"Who?"
"ME!" said Draco from behind Harry.
You smile at him.
"Malfoy?! You're going out with MALFOY!? Willow! Why?"
"Why not?" you challenged your brother.
"Beca-because you- he-"
"Can't think of a good reason besides the fact that you don't like him?" you smirk.
"Ron's being quite stubborn if you ask me." Hermione said as you gathered your things and started to head back to Gryffindor common room.
"He's over protective, he needs to learn that I am capable of living my own life."
"Yeah, and he's mad at me for agreeing with you. So long story short, I don't think our date tomorrow will be that fun. Not to mention I haven't seen him all day. Harry hasn't either."
"Yeah, well, good luck!" you dropped the rest of the chocolate frogs into a sack and swung it over your shoulder.
"She finally is letting you out?" Draco smiled as he walked into the room and planted a kiss on your cheek.
"Yup! Back to the world of homework!" you say rolling your eyes.
Draco put his arm around you and the three of you walked out of the hospital wing. You glance out a window and see a team practicing Quiddich. "Draco, Hun? Don't you have Quiddich practices right now?"
"No, the Hufflepuffs booked our day for practices."
"Oh."
"WILLOW!"
"Potter." Draco said holding onto you tighter.
"What is it, Harry?"
"Dumbledore wants to speak to us, now."
"All right, what about?"
"I don't know."
"Fine, Herms, take this and put it on my bed, Draco? I'll see you later. Don't worry! I doubt Harry would want more detention than the month of detention he's serving now." You giggle seeing the look on Draco's face.
Draco nodded and shot a warning look at Harry who glared back.
You followed Harry up to Dumbledore's office and he knocked on the door. "Enter." Harry pushed the door open and you saw the headmaster at his desk. "Good, you both are here. Please sit." You and Harry obey. "Willow, I think I have discovered why you had been taken by the death eaters."
The room had a stunned silence descend upon it as you and Harry look wide-eyed at the head master.
"Professor? Why did you want to see me for this?" Harry asked, breaking the silence.
"We'll get to that in a moment, Harry. Miss Weasley, I found when I attempted to clean out an old chest of mine from before I took the post of headmaster and I came across something that I had received but never had gotten the chance to open." he pulled out a rich red envelope with a golden snake seal in the left corner. "Here, open it." he said handing it to you.
You put your finger under the torn flap and took out the yellowing paper held inside. On the folded parchment were the letters WWW' in curvy letters. You look at the headmaster. "Sir?"
"Open it." You do so. "Read it out loud."
"My dear old friend Dumbledore, WWW are the initials of the child He-who-must-not-be-named will fear the most, she will hold the power that will hold his fate. You must find her and keep her safe from harm, my old friend, thou she has not yet been born. When you find her give her the charm I have enclosed, I fear I have not much longer to live so I entrust this task to you. You will know that it is her the second she touches the charm, fair well, my old friend. R.B.'" You read out loud.
"Good, that's enough, here, take this, it's the charm." He placed a gold charm on a gold chain on the desk. It had three small white purls down the center and two purple gems on either side. You reach forward and picked it up. It started to glow as your thin fingers touched it. "I thought so, it seemed right. Willow Wanda Weasley, Voldamort must have discovered the same thing my faceless friend here had, he, however, found you before I had even remembered the letter."
"What dose this charm have to do with anything?"
"I had been confused as well, so I left the school and did some investigating."
"And?"
"I could not find anything, but I think that when the time comes, you will know what to do. Furthermore, I herd you were in the hospital wing?"
"Yes." You said glancing at Harry, who glanced back.
"I feel you should be a bit more careful. You are excused, Miss Weasley. Oh, and don't tell anyone." You nod and leave Harry and the headmaster behind.
Outside the office Draco was leaning against the wall.
"Hey." You say
"Hey!"
"Come on! Harry's not that bad!" you giggle.
"Yeah, but I just want to know that you are safe! And its not like he has proven he knows how to treat you!"
"Draco. He's my friend, He didn't know I was so, so prone to injuries."
"What do you mean?"
"I get injured more easily than most, because of my childhood."
"Were you badly abused?"
"Yes. But it's not like that! I had been taken from my family when I was small."
"Kidnapped?"
"Yes. They used me as a slave and treated the house elves better than me. But the house elves were my friends; I never saw the outside world until I was rescued by Moody, Tonks, and Lupin."
"Oh." He said looking around thinking of how to change the subject. "Is that new? I don't remember seeing It." He asked pointing to the charm around your neck that was still glowing, just not as brightly as before.
"Oh, yeah, it is."
"Did Potter give it to you?" Draco demanded.
"No, that's what Dumbledore wanted to talk to me about, it… had belonged to my great-grandmother or something and she had wanted me to have it and left it in his position." You said making a lie up quickly.
"Oh, and are you free now?"
"Yes." You giggle.
"Good, I have a surprise for you! Come on!" he said taking your hand and pulling you along.
He led you out to a private corner by the forbidden forest. A picnic had been set up.
"Draco?"
"I figured that since we are in different houses and have to sit at different tables, we could have a private dinner, just us two." He said taking a seat next to you.
"Smart!" you laugh.
"Yeah, but next time, don't tell us!" Crabbe said walking up with Goyle, Blaise, and Phil, a seventh year Slytherin.
"Hi, guys!" you smile.
Draco groaned.
"It's okay Draco, there our friends and I don't mind, next time we can eat just us two." You laugh messing his hair.
"Great." He said rolling his eyes.
You sit with your Slytherin friends talking and eating when you hear a frantic yell. "WILLOW! WILL!" you look up to see Hermione running towards you, fear plastered on her face.
You jump up. "Herms? What's wrong?!"
"It's Ron! Come on! He's in the hospital wing!"
"What?!" You turn to the boys. "Sorry, but he is my brother." You said and ran with Hermione. Draco jumped up and followed you.
You burst into the hospital wing and saw Harry and your family standing around a bed. "Ronald?" you said pushing between Fred and George. He lay unmoving on the bed. He looked like he had been attacked. Bruises and scratches adorned his face. "What Happened to Ronald?!" you ask.
"We don't know, I found him up in our dorm like this." Harry said.
"Ron, hunny." Your mother sobbed into your father's chest. "Why us? Why is it all way's our family? Willow, Ginny, Arthur, Percy, Bill… what next?"
"Don't worry, mum!" Ginny said.
"Bill? What happened to Bill?" you ask. You knew about Ginny and Tom's diary, Percy being stupid and ditching the family, and your father's incident, but hadn't herd about Bill.
Okay, as you can tell, I'm not going by book 6 but I have to include it so I changed how this happened to Bill okay?
Your Mum looked at you.
"He was attacked by a werewolf, not a transformed one, but he still has permanent, um, wounds and wolf like fetchers." Your father said.
"What?!" you said in disbelief. "Is he okay?"
"Oh yes, he just, likes his steaks undercooked, and his face is ripped up a bit." Fred said patting you on the head as if you were either a dog or a small child.
"Fred! Don't do that!" you said pushing his hand away. "Don't even start, George!" you said as George lifted his hand.
"No, no, no! Too many people here!" Madam Pomfrey said rushing in.
"Sorry, Well, Fred, we should get back to the shop." George said turning to go. "What are you doing, Malfoy?" he hissed seeing Draco standing off to the side.
"None of your concern."
"Draco, please!" you said taking his arm; Hermione took his other arm and pulled him to the corridor. Ginny followed with the twins.
"I'm confused!" Fred said.
"Me too, why is he here and why are you…"
"Draco Malfoy is Willow's boyfriend!" Ginny said.
"What, how did you know, Gin?"
"Everyone in Gryffindor knows, because of the scene Ron made!" Ginny explained.
"Oh."
"You're dating our sister?" George asked.
"Yes, I am."
"You better not hurt her, Slytherin scum!"
"If you do, you better hope we never find out!"
"Frorge!" you said using the name you had used to refer to both of them when you were small before the abduction.
"Just saying!"
"Don't get all upset, Willow!"
"We mean, he's a Malfoy and…"
"Just because my father's in jail, doesn't mean I will take after him!"
The twins gave him a dirty look and walked away.
"Those two, Honestly!"
"Well, there just worried about you." Ginny said.
"They act as if I was the youngest!"
"Well, I can see why…" Hermione said. "But I see what you mean too."
"Draco, I'm sorry the picnic…"
"It had already been ruined when the guys came and started to stuff their faces, it's all right." He laughed.
Harry walked out and saw the four of you standing around talking. He turned and started walking away. "Oh, Harry! Come on! Draco's not that bad!" Ginny said running up to him and pulling him to the group.
"Oh, and, sorry for giving you a hard time earlier, Potter."
