Chapter 13
By lunch news had traveled far and wide that Eliza was having a little visit with Madame Pomfrey. Her housemates were all concerned, naturally. But there are always two sides to every story.
"That girl got just what she deserved for thinking she could break into our group and get close to you. What nerve! People like her shouldn't even be allowed into places like this. Imagine what your father would say to her if he knew that that. that THING was trying to tear us apart. Right darling?"
Draco stared down at his so called "girlfriend" wondering why God hated him so much or more so why his own father hated him so much.
"This thing you're referring to does have a name you know." He said in return, acting cool considering all his friends were around.
"Oh don't go siding with her dear, just because she has a mental problem and all, you should still treat just as you would treat any other Gryffindor." Luna laid her hand on Draco's shoulder. He promptly shrugged it off and stood quickly.
"She does not have a mental problem." He hissed pushing away from the table disgusted with the very sight of the girl in front of him.
Luna stared at him blankly for a second before replying, "Ok whatever you say dear."
Draco stood from his seat and began making his way to the dungeon. Why was his life suddenly taking this downward spiral towards emptiness?
"Why Why Why?" He muttered, entering the Slytherin common room.
He flung himself onto one of the couches, lost deep in thought.
Suddenly his eyes flew open.
He had made up his mind.

"GUYS!" Alexa came flying into the Gryffindor common room where everyone was gathered holding a pow wow about what they should do for Eliza when she got to come back.
All eyes turned up to Alexa to see what the big fuss was all about.
"She. She. they, he. why?" And with that Alexa passed out cold onto the stone floor.

When Alexa awoke there were faces crowded all around her, murmurings as to what might have happened.
"Guys, she's awake." Ron exclaimed, squatting down in front of her.
Alexa slowly worked into a sitting position placing her hand on the back of her head where a nice big bump was slowly forming. What the heck had happened to her?
"Alexa, can you tell me how many fingers I'm holding up?"
Harry was holding up 3 fingers right in front of Alexa's face.
"Yes you dummy, I'm not blind and I do know how to count."
"I think she's alright guys." Dean exclaimed, much to the relief of everyone in the room.
"Now Alexa, do you remember what you came in her yelling and screaming about earlier? Before you passed out?" Harry continued to question her.
Alexa got a contemplative look on her face and then replied, "No, not really."
"Well it must have been something serious. Because first you were running in here all panicked, then you were screaming at us, the next thing we knew you were falling over. Now what made you pass out?" Harry continued his inquisition.
"I don't know! Just leave me alone. Obviously I've been having some tough times, just let me think about this I'm bound to remember it sooner or later."
Everyone sat back in their seats, fully prepared to sit and wait for whatever it was that Alexa had to say. Whatever it was, it must have been something major, and something nobody wanted to miss out on.
"Just think Lex. Think about where you were before you came in here."
So Alexa did just that.
'Ok, I was in Potions, Snape was yelling at me, sent me to McGonnagels office. I decided to ditch that and go to.'
"THE INFIRMIRARY!"
Everyone jumped about a mile in the air at Alexa's outburst.
"What about it?" Harry asked.
"Eliza!"
"Yes, Eliza's in the infirmirary."
"No she's not! She's gone!"
