The sun rose and shone through the windows of the hospital wing. Dee was sitting by Trinity's bed. Malfoy and Trinity's beds were next to each other. Trinity began to stir. "Malfoy she's waking up" Malfoy jumped out of his bed and ran over to her. Angel, Rogue, Tyga, and Gaia ran into the Hospital wing.

"We just heard how is she?" Gaia screamed

"She's waking --- you're just in time" The girls ran over to her bed. Trinity's eyes slowly opened. She blinked a couple of times to adjust to the light.

"Where am I?" Trinity asked

"In the Hospital wing --- everyone's here including Malfoy" Dee told her. She sat up and looked around. She turned and looked at Malfoy who had a cut on his cheek and a black eye.

"Oh my god what happened to you?" Trinity asked in a panic.

"Don't you remember?"

"No I can't remember anything from last after Dee going to bed" Malfoy told her what had happened and why she was in the Hospital wing.

"I'll kill that stupid cunt" Trinity said leaping up. Malfoy and Dee held her down.

"No you've got to rest you've been unconscious since last night." Madame Pomfrey walked into the room. Malfoy dived back into his bed and Trinity relaxed back down

"Now Mr Malfoy your cuts are healing nicely you'll be allowed to go when I say - Now how's Miss Narcia" Madame Pomfrey said

"She woke up a little while ago" Angel said

"Oh that's good but what I want to know now is why were all of you up?"

"I weren't I've just got here" Tyga, Gaia, Angel and Rogue all said simultaneously

"I was up because I never sleep on the first couple of nights" Dee answered

"I was up 'cause I couldn't sleep" Malfoy replied after

"My first night in a new school ---- I had a lot to think about --- shut it Dee --- do you expect me to sleep like that?"

"But we were in our common room" Malfoy added

"Ok - so Miss Narcia how do you feel?"

"Sore and confused"

"You don't feel dizzy and you don't have a headache?"

"No I'm fine"

"Right then Mr Malfoy and yourself can go when your friends have got your robes" she turned to Malfoy "Mr Malfoy we'll get one of your friends to get your robes" She turned back to the girls "If any of you see either Mr Crabbe or Mr Goyle can you tell them to get Mr Malfoy's robes and bring them to the hospital wing immediately please" She turned round and walked off.

"We won't be long Trin" Angel then whispered to Trinity "You can now talk about what you were going to talk about last night"

"Yeah thanks Angel see you soon as well" The girls walked off to get Trinity's robes. Malfoy got out of his hospital bed and walked over to Trinity's bed side.

"You didn't half give me and Dee a fright last night!" Malfoy said

"Oh so no 'Hey Trin how are you feeling better"

"Sorry ---- thanks for trying to get Russ off me last night --- he's the strongest boy in the school --- unless you become stronger than him you won't get him off! - I didn't want you to get hurt but you did"

"I fine I'm more worried about protecting my friends!" They both laughed "Did Russ do that to you?" Trinity asked touching his cut on his cheek. Trinity gazed into Malfoy's eyes and vice versa before Malfoy spoke again.

"Yeah but it ain't bad he's done worse to Griffindors"

"Who wouldn't" They both burst out laughing. Dee and the rest of the girls walked back through the hospital wing doors. Dee walked over to Trinity's bed and put her clothes down.

"Crabbe and Goyle are on their way here with your robes Malfoy."

"Cheers Dee" Malfoy went back to his bed as Dee started to pull the curtain round. Trinity got dressed and pulled the curtain back. "You ok Trin"

"Yeah just feel and probably look rough"

"You don't look rough to me" Trinity smiled

"Thanks Malfoy" Trinity went over to the girls who handed her a little bag. Trin went behind a little bit of curtain and did her make-up naturally. When she had finished she went over to the girls.

"Why does natural make-up suit you so much Trinity?" Rogue asked

"I don't know do I" Trintiy giggled and walked over to Malfoy with her head down so her hair was covering her face. She looked up and her long blonde hair fell off her face into a side parting. "Cya later Malfoy --- I'm going for breakfast" At that moment there were footsteps by the door. Professor Dumbledore had walked in to check on Trinity and Malfoy. He was closely followed by Crabbe and Goyle with Malfoy's robes.

"Trinity - nice to see you up and about after your little accident."

"Accident this was mo macident" Malfoy's hand had covered Trinity's mouth.

"What's that Miss Narcia?" Dumbledore asked

Malfoy whispered to Trinity "Don't mention Russ to him I'll tell you why when he goes" Trinity nodded

"Little accident this was no little accident it was a nightmare"

"I guess it was for you Trinity, I guess it was" He turned to Malfoy "Now Draco are you going to say who did this to you yet?"

"No sir -- it was just a little disagreement over quidditch teams nothing to be concerned about, I'm fit and healthy"

"You've got the fit part right" Trinity said quietly to herself.

"Ok if you ever want to my door is always open --- apart from when it's closed of course" He gave a little chuckle and walked off. Trinity turned to Malfoy. In a quiet shout she said "Why wouldn't you let me tell him about Russell - he knocked me unconscious and you've got cuts and a black eye to show for it" Malfoy waited till she had calmed down a bit.

"'cause he's friend's with most of the Slytherians"

"So"

"He would have got expelled for what he did to us"

"So"

"So - everyone in Slytherian would start on you if you got him expelled ---- You would be worse than unconscious --- you'd be in a coma almost dead --- he's great friends with Flint who could knock you out with one hit ----- not to mention abuse you"

"Oh that explains most things!"

"Exactly so unless your going to leave schools and leave the country I wouldn't tell on him! --- now I need to change so if you don't mind" He closed the curtain on Trinity. Trinity stood there looking shocked. Dee walked over to her.

"Come on Trin let him relax a bit, he's sore --- let's go get breakfast" Trintiy waited until Malfoy as out of earshot.

"Why was he like that to me ---- we were getting on so well then he changed just like that --- Why?"

"He's trying to protect you Trin --- He's cares you see like all of us"

"But you wouldn't act like that would you?!"

"No but he's a bloke --- blokes do!"

"I guess your right" Dee gave Trinity a hug as she was on the verge of tears. They walked into the Great Hall ---- Trinity saw Russell looking at her. He winked at her. She pretended to catch it and throw it over her shoulder then swore at him. Russell eviled at her then signalled that she was dead. Bring it on Trinity mouthed at him. Trinity sat down next to Dee and Gaia. Tyga, Rogue and Angel sat opposite.

"Did you see Russell?" Trinity asked Tyga

"No what?"

"He winked at me as we walked in I swore back and he signalled I'm dead"

"That can't be good"

"Exactly --- keep an eye out for Malfoy please 'cause I've a feeling Russ is after him still"

"Ok I will darl ---- tell the others to look out for him as well" Trinity nodded and told the others.

"We'll look after ya Taylor don't worry" Gaia smiled at Trinity

"Chars girls ---- Imagine what would happen to me if you lot weren't here" They all laughed. Malfoy walked in the hall un-noticed by the girls. Russell got up with Flint and walked over to him.

"Your little princess of a girlfriend is dead"

"She ain't my princess and she ain't my girlfriend --- she's a friend and if you touch a hair on that pretty little head, you won't know what hit you" Russell and Flint laughed and walked out of the hall. Malfoy went over to the Slytherian table and sat close to Trinity and the girls. He leaned into the middle of the table.

"Hey Trin"

"Malfoy --- where did you come from?"

"Same place as you indecently --- anyway --- Russell's just spoke to me --- I would watch your back if I were you --- he's after you! --- what did you do?"

"Nout much --- he winked I was sarky - he threatened - I was sarky again"

"You didn't tell us that last little bit Trin"

"'cause it's not important"

"Usually with any of Russell's lot, if you're sarky after a threat --- he will go ahead with the threat"

"Oh now you tell me --- he's now going to KILL me --- indecently how many are in his group?"

"The least I've seen him with is" Malfoy counted on his hands "ten and there's load more I've seen him with more than that --- A LOT more" Trinity gulped and started to fear for her safety.

"Can today get any worse?"

"Yeah we get our time tables today and 'cause Russell and Flint[1] are in the same year as us they're most probably in the same classes as us."

"Oh great"

"But don't worry we don't have classes today[2] --- it's a day to get used to our timetable."

"Oh good ---- I might go and hide in a room or in the corner of the fields" Dee gave Trinity a look.

"You can't spend the rest of your life in fear --- we're all here including Malfoy if you're lucky --- we'll help protect you" Trinity and the girls finished their breakfast and walked out.

"Hey Trin"

"Yeah"

"Be careful" Trinity smiled and walked off with the girls. They walked out into the entrance hall.

"Hey guys I really need the loo anyone tell me where it is?"

"We'll do better than that - we'll take you" They walked into the ground floor of the stairs "Do you care if you use moaning Mertal's bathroom"

"No"

"Okay 2nd floor first door on your left"

"Cheers --- wait here I won't be long" Trinity walks up the stairs to the 2nd floor. Russell and Flint were hiding by the archway. Trinity walked into the bathroom. She finished by sorting her make-up out then walked out of the bathroom. While Trinity had been in the bathroom Russell had moved to by the classroom door. Trinity walked out and went to go to the landing. Flint walked and stood in the way. "Move Flint"

"Why should I?"

"'cause I need to go down to the first floor"

"So" Russell walked up behind Trinity.

"So move I need to go see my friends!"

"Your not going nowhere without me or Flint" Russell grabbed Trinity and pulled her into the deserted classroom. He shoved her up against the wall and pinned her arms to it. "You really are stupid being sarky after one of my threats aren't you"

"Get off me Russell"

"Not until you say the magic word"

"Fucking move dickhead or your nuts get it"

"Oh touchy"

"Get lost"

"Not until I've had my bit of fun"

"Oh and what would that be"

"Oh just a little kiss ---- if you make it easy that might be all" Russell moved forward to give her a kiss. Trinity started moving her head so he couldn't get near her. "Stop moving Bitch" She stopped moving. "There that wasn't so hard was it" He moved forward again to give her a kiss. She lunged her head forward and bit him. He let go of her hands and she shoved him backwards. "Oi you cow, you bit me" Trinity ran towards the door and opened it to see Flint was in her way. She shoved him as hard as she could. He stumbled forward enough to let her through. She ran towards the landing and screamed down as Flint grabbed hold of her.

"Dee, Tyga, Angel, Rouge, Gaia HELP mm" Flints hand covered her mouth and dragged backwards into a secret passageway.

"Don't think your little friends can help while I've got you" Russell said

"That's Trin ---- she sounds in trouble" Gaia said panicked

"And I bet I know who's got her" Dee said "I'll give you one guess" All 5 called out Russell. They all ran up the stairs to the 2nd floor but Trinity was no-where to be seen! "Where is she --- she not in the rooms ---- no-one in the library's seen her and she's not on the landing"

"We best go get Malfoy he knows the school inside out" The girls ran down to the Slytherian dungeon and told Malfoy. He followed the girls up to the 2nd floor. "If she's not in any of the rooms then there's only one place she can be" Malfoy ran over to a tapestry and lifted it up. It showed a secret passage

"I didn't know that was there" Angel said looking surprised

"You don't know a lot of ways to get round the school then --- I use them at night they're not guarded --- prefects don't know them only Filch and he lets you through if your in Slytherian" They ran through the corridor and came out on the 3rd floor.

"To cool" Gaia laughed
