"I wonder what they're doing." Blaise mumbled, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Knowing Nina, something probably retarded." Draco laughed, smirking at Blaise.

Suddenly they heard screaming all the boys turned quickly to see Nina and Dana running down the path. "Blaise!" Nina screamed and launched herself onto her boyfriend, sending him to the ground.

"What the fuck, Nina." Blaise muttered and shifted his girlfriend off of him.

She pouted, crossing her arms. Blaise gave her a quick kiss on the lips, replacing her frown with a smile.

Dana giggled and jumped onto Dylan's back. "Hey Dyl."

Dylan chuckled, "Hello Dana."

When she didn't move Dylan asked, "Want to get down now?"

"Nope." Dana sang, popping the p, "I think I'll stay right where I am."

Dylan laughed and started walking again, carrying Dana on his back. "Shit!" he cursed as he lost his balance and sent both of them rolling down a steep hill next to the path.

Dana let out a shrill scream as she tumbled down the hill. She faintly heard her friends' laughing as she landed at the bottom. She looked over at Dylan and burst out laughing. His blond hair had a couple of leaves and twigs sticking out of it. "Are you okay?" She asked, out of breath.

He smiled and nodded, "What about you."

"Fine, fine!" Dana chirped, trying to stand up.

As soon as she got to her feet she fell into Dylan. "Whoa!" He exclaimed, grabbing onto her waist.

He looked down at her face, she had tears rolling down her cheeks. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing." Dana sniffed, "My ankle kind of hurts."

"Kind of?" Dylan scoffed, by now the rest of their friends had reached them and were all gathered around Dana, "You can't even stand."

Dana buried her face in the nook between his shoulder and neck, "I'm sorry. I'm stupid."

"No you're not." He answered automatically.

"Yes I am. I made us fall down the hill." Dana mumbled into his neck.

"Dana don't worry about it." Dylan laughed, "It was fun."

"I'll try and walk." Dana announced, starting to get out of Dylan's grasp.

"No you're not. You'll hurt yourself even worse, then your father will kill me." Nina said in an authoritative tone.

"Come here." Dylan commanded, picking her up in his arms, "I'll bring her back to Hogwarts, you guys go ahead to Hogsmead."

"I'll go with you." Draco offered and fell into step with his cousin.

"Me too." Madison said, hurrying to catch up with them.

They walked silently back to Hogwarts, the only sounds were Dana's sniffling. Reaching the hospital wing, Dylan laid her down on a bed while Madison hurried to find the medi-witch.

When Dana's foot came in contact with the bed she started crying again.

"Shit Dana, I'm sorry!"

"It's fine." Dana said giving him a watery smile, "I'm just a wimp."

Dylan rolled his eyes and sat in the chair next to the bed, Draco taking a seat on the bed next to Dana. He picked up her head and put it in his lap, toying with her hair. "Are you okay?" He mumbled.

Dana sniffed and nodded, looking up into his eyes. Just at that moment, Madam Pomfrey burst into the room. "Hurt ankle?" She asked.

Dana nodded as Madam Pomfrey started measuring a potion.

"Dylan, can I talk to you for a minute?" Madison asked quietly.

Dylan stood up and followed her out of the room leaving Dana and Draco alone with Madam Pomfrey.

"Take this." She said, handing Dana the vial then going back into her office.

Dana stuck her tongue into the potion to taste it and grimaced. Draco laughed, "If you want it to stop you have to drink it all."

She rolled her eyes at him and downed the potion. "Gross!" she exclaimed, putting the vial on the bed-side table.

"Dana, I'm really sorry." Draco mumbled.

Dana pulled herself up so she was looking into his eyes. "You don't have to keep apologizing to me. I know it was my father's fault, not yours."

"No Dana you don't get it." Draco groaned, running a hand through his hair, "You make me feel different. It makes me feel softer and nicer and I don't like that. That's why I acted like a jerk before."

"Draco just stop. You have to feel bad."

"No! I do have to feel bad. I- I can't get those images out of my head from the ball… you were so empty, all because of me. You had to miss half of your sixth year because I hurt you so badly." He yelled

A tear rolled down Dana's cheek, "Draco…" She whispered, "Stop please."

Draco stopped his ranting, looking at Dana with a concerned expression. "What's wrong?"

"You didn't mean to, Draco. You didn't mean to hurt me. Stop beating yourself up please! I'm sorry I messed up your life and made you go soft and everything. I'm the one who should be apologizing."

"Dana, no."

"Yes."

Draco shook his head, wiping her tears, "I'm still in love with you Dana." He whispered.

Her eyes met his. "What?" She asked, her voice quivering.

"I love you."

Then Dana burst out into tears. "Don't! Don't do this!"

"Dana…"

"Draco, you don't love me! You don't!"

"I do! I really do!"

"NO!" Dana whaled, "Draco I love you but you cant love me back! I ruined your life!"

"What?" Draco scoffed, "No you didn't."

"What about you being with all those girls and being Mr. Popular?"

"I don't want any other girls than you. And if they think I'm going soft.. Fuck them."

Dana's cries died down and soon she was sitting there silently, staring at her clasped hands. "You love me?" She asked, whispering

"I do."

"FINALLY!" Nina yelled bursting into the hospital wing, "Do you have any idea how long I have been trying to get you two back together."

"I didn't say we were back together, Nina." Draco scowled at the girl.

"But you're going to be." Jasmine announced.

"Only if she wants to." Draco said softly, mostly to Dana than to anyone else.

Dana started crying again, "We can't. I'm sorry Draco!" She said getting up. The potion hadn't fully finished so she winced when she put weight on it but kept walking out the door.

Sorry it sucks! I have two finals tomorrow, and had two today so this is the result of having about five minutes! SORRY!
