Disclaimer: me: ok Eddie, Draco tell everyone i own twilight and HP!
Edward and Draco: Hell no!
Me: Damnit. Next time I'll have to try that potion that Snape recommended. (walks away angrily but takes the sexy Draco with her for private matters, knowing Bella would beat her up if she took Eddie too.)
-Chapter 10
Rogue's point of view:
I could tell that I was in the hospital wing, even if I was unconscious. Once in a while I would hear faint voices, probably Craven or Harry, coming in to check on me. Sometimes they would talk to me. I hardly remember any of the conversations but I do remember being fed. Trickles of blood would be sent down my throat once in a while and I would savor the taste. I had been wondering how long I have been unconscious and my spirit was worried when I would wake up. I could tell my visitors were too.
One day, I heard the large door open and foot steps come to my bed. A hand touched my cheek as if they were to examine me. I heard them sit down in the chair beside my bed. "I'm so sorry." A boy's voice said. "I can't believe I did this. I didn't mean to hurt you. It was just a duel." The voice paused. "I know I have said that so many times to you when I visit but, I feel that you need to hear it even if you cannot. Rogue, if you can hear me, I want you to know that I love you more than anything in the world and you have lit up my life ever since I met you." I smiled inside but my body lay still on the bed with the expression of sleep even though I wasn't. I then felt the hand on my face again and then the soft lips of my visitor on my own lips.
After he drew back, I opened my eyes a little. It was as if I was Sleeping Beauty. I looked at the boy in the chair. His blond hair was messy and his tie was undone with his shirt unbuttoned a little at the top. He was missing his sweater vest and robe. He looked as if he had gone crazy. Draco stared at me with his pools of gray eyes. They were beautiful and I still was thinking he was the same as me, one of the damned. "I forgive you." I whispered weakly. I tried to sit up but Draco stopped me.
"You need your rest." He said.
I nodded and lay in the bed again. "How long has it been?" I whispered. Draco was silent and I was afraid he wasn't going to tell me. "Please tell me. I have to know." I said.
"It's November, Rogue." He said. "I've been in here everyday until Madame Pomfry would kick me out." I smirked. "We've really missed you but, everyone hates me for what I did to you. And I am truly sorry for hurting you. They won't believe me."
"No." I said. "It is I to blame. I started it but Craven probably blames himself for the Avis spell in the first place. But I defended him and if I didn't then he would probably be the one in the hospital wing right now." I paused, running through the events on the first day of school in September. "I would rather it be me than one of my friends. I'm already dead and I can heal better than a normal human can. It would be horrible for Craven to be here than me." I sounded very sad and my voice quivered some. I almost felt human, emotionally.
"I guess so but I truly did over react. It was an accident that that Avis spell came after me." Draco seemed like he had done something horrible and I didn't want him to blame himself.
"Look." I said trying to cheer him up a little. "I think we both over reacted a bit and we were most likely trying to get on each other's nerves more than do anything for Craven. So how bout we drop the subject as easily as possible?" I asked the silly question and held out a hand. Draco took it with great gratitude and nice smile on his face.
"So, will I see you at dinner tonight?" he asked me. "Thanksgiving feast you know?" I paused.
"I guess I'm going if Pomfry lets me out of this rat hole." I said smirking a bit. "But I'll be sure to bring my own dinner. Just in case." I said making sure he still realized that I wasn't human. He smiled back at me, understanding.
Madame Pomfry then came into the room, bustling about. "Oh, dear. You're awake. I'm so happy. How are you feeling?" she asked me, coming up to my bedside next to Draco.
"Perfect, now." I said looking at Draco who smiled happily. "Do you know when I can leave?" I asked with hopeful eyes.
"I guess you can leave in the next hour, being how well you have been feeling." She paused, probably considering her decision again. "Ok just let me check you over real quick and then I will give you some of your fresh clothing. Then you can leave, but of course I would like you to have someone to accompany you to your room from now on. I just don't want any side effects." I nodded. She turned to leave and then turned back to add "Oh yes, your family has sent, oh what's her name,"
"Esme?" I asked. She shook her head. "Rosalie?" she shook her head again and I prayed to God, hoping it wasn't who I thought it was. "Bella?" I asked hoping it was her, it wasn't. I then came to the last resort. "Alice?" I asked, wanting her to shake her head again.
"Alice!" the nurse exclaimed. "That's it. She is probably out wandering the corridors. She always seems to be interested in this castle. Oh well Pish Posh. Now I don't want to see you back here." She then tossed me my cloths and left to tend to Neville at the end of the room.
I smiled and Draco pulled the dividers around my bed so I could change in peace. I quickly put on the jeans that I had had for the longest time. They were the first pair I had ever bought when they came out. I was excited and swore to wear them to the end of the world. Now I had updated them, creating holes here and there, giving them that worn out look. I put the shirt on that was given to me, a blue tee that said 'Wanna' bet?' I smiled putting on the jewelry that I was removed from me on the day I dueled with Draco. It was on the side table of my hospital bed. I then slipped into my converse and pulled back the dividers, revealing the hot and sexy vampire that I truly was. I combed my hair quickly and went up to Draco who was waiting by the door.
"Come on." I said grabbing a hold of his arm. He jumped a little as I did so and we walked out of the doors, heading to the my common room. I wanted to dodge Alice as much as possible before having to speak with her. But speak of the devil, you get the devil, I saw her in my room when we entered the portrait hole.
A/N: I know my disclaimer was a little nasty when i dragged Draco off with me but i had to. I am madly in love with him. I like to think of Rogue as myself in this story. Oh well just review and tell me what a sick mind I have and then how much you adore my story.
