Marie heard Mrs. Norris hissing at her on her way to the common room, then she heard footsteps. Thankfully Marie got away, in the nick of time. When she got to the common room she saw Draco sitting on the couch, playing with a necklace she had gotten him for Valentine's day. Marie felt her heart sink. She decided to go by Draco, just not as a human.

Marie- #Draco, I'm sorry... I-#

Draco interrupted Marie.

Draco- Just go away...

Draco's voice was shaky and deep. Marie then saw blood on the floor, next to Draco. Her weakness... she could not control her blood-lust, at least not while being a jaguar. She had to change back before something happened. Marie breathed heavily, then changed back to her human form, calming down. *That was close*, she thought to herself, then snapped back to reality.

Marie- Let me see your arm.

Draco looked up, and changed the subject.

Draco- Your eyes... they didn't change back. Marie- Yes, I know. That happens when I'm by fresh blo- wait.

Marie shook her head.

Marie- Don't change the subject. Give me your arm. Draco- No, it's my arm. You go on to bed. You need rest.

Draco stood up, making sure his arm was covered.

Draco- I'm going to bed. Goodnight Marie.

Draco started walking towards the boys dormitory.

Marie- I know what you're going through. I've done the same myself too. It doesn't work for me, but that's because I'm different than you. My wounds heal faster than yours. It's better you don't show me your arm also. Unless, it doesn't have blood on it anymore...

Marie stared at the fire place. Draco stopped.

Draco- Not anymore...

Draco turned and look at Marie, who now was a jaguar again.

Marie- #Well Draco, I'll see you tomorrow. I'll be checking your arm then also. I can't right now. I don't want to hurt you.#

Marie laid down on the couch, with her paws hanging off it.

Marie- #Good night, mon amour...#

Draco walked over to the jaguar, and kissed it on the head. He then went to the boys dormitory to sleep.
