"Unnn..." Draco groaned as he shut his eyes. He was in the hospital wing. Again.
Why was he here again? He remebered getting up in the middle of the night...going to the tower...seeing that annoying girl (What did she know anyways?)...the mute...jumping...after that it was blank, nothing. He should be dead...right? She had jumped with him, where was she?
Draco opened his eyes again, looking around only to find the other beds empty. Had she died in his stead?No...she should have...she was above him when they hit the ground...where was she?
"Ah, Draco Malfoy! I see that you're finally awake!" Madam Pomfrey had just closed her office door to find her patient awake.
"Wha...What happened?"
"I was hoping that you could tell me."
"I...where's the girl?"
"What girl?"
"The mute..."
"I'm afraid I don't who you're talking about."
"The mute...what's her name...Silence..." Draco shook his headshe had fallen with him...why had she not come with him here? And how could the mediwitch not know about the only student of Hogwarts who could not speak?
The mediwitch shook her head.
"I think you hit you head on your way down.."

Sileincia's obsidian eyes shot open. She couldn't breath. She brought her hands to her face, her left hand was covered in something green, and acidic. her hand wasn't much more than bone and a small amount of muscle.
'Dammit...' At least she couldn't feel without nerve endings...
She convulsed and used her right hand to wipe something away from her face, wicing as she felt pain on her bare hand...more acid. She must have breathed it in...it must have destroyed her lungs...that's why she couldn't breathe...
'Fuck...' She tried to breathe in...after coughing with air from Merlin knows were, she found she could breathe a little...she had to get inside the castle...she had to get to that mediwitch....Poppy Pom...something....
She shook her head violently. She had to keep her head clear, she had to get help.
She looked to where she had fallen the night before. Where was Draco? Had he gotten up? Was he dead?
'Better not be...'
Sileinca struggled to stand, collapsing as pain raced up her leg the second pressure was applied. It was broken. She drew a breath in slowly, trying again to stand, this time with less pressure on the injured limb. I was hard to do with only one hand, but she eventually got up.
She gasped. Her wings...she had automatically tried to fold them after standing up, only to relise that they had snapped when she had flipped over Draco.
'I can't go into Hogwarts like this...' She had to return them to her back. She winced, then slowly went through the proccess of hiding her black wings.
She had heard that when she returned her wings into her back, that it could turn a surgeon's stomache. She had laughed then, even though she understood. The wings would first molt, her feathers falling into a small pile before disintergrating and blowing away in the wind. Next the rough skin would literally melt off, revealing lithe muscles that then retacted into her back, followed by the bones.
She knew she had to do it fast, or the bones would fall on the ground, instead of returning to her back. They retracted perfectly, although painful enough to cause her leave last night's dinner on the grass.
Cold, hungry, and sore, she limped towards the castle wincing in pain as she was forced to walk on a broken leg.
