Recap: "what is it?" Draco said, gingerly getting back on the chair beside her."The letter says my mother was one too!"she cried, bitterly weeping. Draco's eyes widened with shock. "But that must mean..." she
nodded sadly. "I'm the second coming"
~~~~~ chapter two - sleepless ~~~~~
"But..but that's.... isn't that good?" Draco said, bemused. "I mean, doesn't that mean you're... you're the most powerful witch ever born! You have more power than, than, well anyone..." he said, faltering at the look on Ethanys face. "Good!? How can it be GOOD!" she practically shrieked, getting up and pacing back and forth. "I mean think about it. How would you feel to have THAT much power! I mean I could KILL someone with the flick of a finger! How could that be good?" she told him earnestly. " I mean, there's so much responsibility! And...well," she said with a sigh, "I don't think I can handle it"." I'm too young for this sort of responsibility" she said, sitting back down. " well I guess..." Draco faltered off, unsure. "I never thought of it like that" he addmitted staring down at his shoes. "I always thought ultimate power would be great. Guess I'm wrong" he said amused. "And of course, now I have all these people trying to kill me" Ethany exclaimed. " And soon enough, because for some idiotic reason, I've told you all this, they'll be storming the castle to kill me!" she exclaimed. " But right now that wouldn'tbe to bad" she whispered under her breath. And so the both of them sat, for an immeasurable length of time, it could have five years, or five minutes for all she knew, or cared. " I guess we'd better go huh?" she said after they had been staring out over the lake for at least an hour. "I guess" was his reply, but neither made a move to leave. A while later, Ethany said," You know, I never knew you had these kind of problems with your father" she sighed. "You seem to get on so well". "You don't see what goes on be hind closed doors" he grimaced, and pulled his robes up to show her the marks on his back. "Oh my God!" she whispered. Your father did this?". He simply nodded, looking away, not showing her his burning cheeks, or the tears welling up in his eyes. "Come here" she said, and laid both hands on his back. At first Draco winced at the pain of her touch against his scarred skin, but soon found the pain ebbing away, not only the pain her touch had caused, but the pain he had to live with every day, the ache whenever he moved. He lowered his robes and turned back towards her, blinking back tears. "How did you do that?" He exclaimed, feeling his back."Even the scars are gone!". She looked up towards him and smiled, saying, " just one of the gifts this curse has given me"."You have the power to heal?" he exclaimed marvelling. "That and much more," she said, laughing at his wonder. " I can heal, fly, perform magic without a wand,shoot fire, turn things to ice, and so much more!" she laughed, and Draco actually smiled at her. She was amazed at this, and so was he for that matter, because, being Draco Malfoy as he was, he never smiled. He smirked, he sneered, he leered, he scowled. He did NOT smile. " You know, this is the first time I've actually seen you smile!" Ethany exclaimed. Draco blushed and said, "yeah well this is the first time I've seen YOU without a book!" he said back, annoyed. "was that an insult?" she exclaimed with mock surprise, and smiled. " Actually that was all my mothers doing", she said with a grimace. "I think she knew what was going to happen before it did" she muttered, staring into the distance. "I mean, she always told me; keep your head down, don't stick out" she said, "she told me to, becaome part of the background, make sure nobody notices you" she sighed. "Why can't any body notice you?" Draco said, glancing at her. She looked back and said, "beacause, if nobody notices me, they end up not caring about me, not knowing I'm there. I become like one of the paintings, people know I'm there, but after a while they don't really notice me. And, I decided the easiest way to make people not notice me was reading."she sighed, looking sad. "but it would have been nice to have some friends," she whispered sadly, "maybe even a boyfriend. But I can't". " why can't you?" he said to her. " because, then I would stand out, people would notice me. And if I told anyone my secret," she lingered, "they would tell Voldemort and get me killed!" she cried bitterly Staring into his eyes. He looked away. " It's ok. I won't tell anybody" he said queitly. " you had better not" she said, with a derisive laugh. " or before the deatheaters come for me, I'll castrate you!"she said, with a hint of a smile on her face. They sat in a comfortable silence for a while then. Suddenly Draco jumped up and said, "SHIT!". Ethany jumped back, alarmed and said "what?", " we've missed prettymuch the whole day of school!" he shouted.
