The next morning Elvira woke up earlier then usual. The hospital was halfway lit with the sun still rising. She saw that Draco had stayed with her through out the night and was now asleep on her bedside holding her hand. She went to sit up but winced at the pain it caused her left side. She reached down and twirled his blonde hair in her fingertips, until Madam Pomfrey came in.

"Ah good you are awake, but someone isn't." she said seeing Draco sleeping. "He stayed in here all yesterday and night with you. He really does care." she said smiling at her, Elvira returned the smile though felt a little awkward about a teacher saying that. "So Elvira, how are you feeling? Do your ribs hurt you at all when you move?"

"I feel ok, but yea my ribs do kinda hurt."

"All right, well I am willing to let you leave when he wakes up, but you need to go to your common room and lay down. I'll get you some medicine that you can take now that will help dull the pain."

She went into her office for a few minutes and came back out. In her hand she had a small black bottle, with something in it, and a glass of water. She helped Elvira sit up with out waking Draco. "Now take these two pills right now." she said handing them over to her. Elvira took the pills and swallowed them and drunk some of the water. "Now when you get to your common room, get Mr. Malfoy to bring up some breakfast for you. You'll need to take two pills at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, until they're gone. By the time you run out you should be fully healed. Now just lay back down and rest until he wakes up and then you can go, all right."

Elvira nodded and lay back down onto the pillow and watched Madam Pomfrey retreat to her office. Then she occupied herself with Draco's hair, while thinking about yesterday's match. She started to feel him stir and moved her hand. He opened his eyes and looked up at her, he jumped up immediately. "Eli, your awake. Are you feeling ok?"

"I'm ok. Madam Pomfrey just gave me some pain killers." she said smiling at his worry for her.

Madam Pomfrey came out when she heard voices talking, she walked over to the two and looked at Draco. "I am allowing her to leave, but you have to take her straight to the common room and make her lay down. I've given her some painkillers that will dull the pain. When you get her to the common room I want you to go and get her breakfast. She hasn't eaten since yesterday's breakfast." Draco nodded. Madam Pomfrey made he get up and she pulled the curtain around Elvira's bed once again. She helped Elvira up and exited the curtain so that she could change out of her Quidditch robes. "When she finishes dressing you can take her." she said to Draco.

Draco sat there on the bed next to Elvira's and waited for her. "Ow. God damn it, that hurt."

"You all right in there?"

"Just peachy." Elvira said sarcastically. "All right I'm done."

Draco pulled back the curtains and saw Elvira sitting there on her bed a little pale. He smiled at her and she smiled back. He gathered up her Quidditch robes and slipped her medicine into his pocket. He helped her up off the bed, putting his had around her waist and held it to her right side, she put her hand on top of his. She put her left arm around his shoulders for a little more support. Together they made their way down to the common room, pausing every few minutes for Elvira, who would get a sudden jolt of pain. When they got into the common room, there were already students lounging around on the couches. They all looked up when they saw Elvira and Draco, most with concern that a member of their team was injured. Draco helped her up the steps and into her dormitory. Angel, Blaise, and Alexis were still asleep in their beds. Draco walked her over to her bed and helped her get into it. He bent down and gave her kiss, which she returned.

"I guess I'm playing doctor." he whispered with a sly smirk on his face.

"You can be my doctor all you want." Elvira whispered back to him and gave him another kiss.

Draco pulled up and put her Quidditch robes in the hamper next to her closet. He pulled out her medicine and sat it on her bedside table, and he sat down on her bedside. "So what does my fallen angel want to breakfast?" he whispered taking her hand and kissing it.

"Just some toast and orange juice, I'm not really hungry and then you can stay up here with me for the rest of the day if you want." Elvira whispered to him giving him a sweet smile.

"Whatever you want." he whispered back to her caressing her cheek. "I'll be back in a few minutes, all right?"

"Ok." he leaned down and gave her another kiss, got up and left.

Elvira lay there thinking about nothing. Blaise and Angel started to stir in their beds. When they saw that Elvira was in her bed they jumped up and were on her bed in seconds waking Alexis up in the process.

"Are you ok?"

"How are you feeling?"

"When did you get up here?"

"Does Madam Pomfrey know you're here?"

Elvira just laughed at their on coming questions. "Everyone seems to be asking me that question."

"Well, we should. Our friend and best chaser is hurt", Blaise said.

Alexis looked over at them and glared, she really didn't like them that much and tried to keep away from them as much as possible, she got up and left the room. Elvira looked at her two friends and smiled, "I'm fine and Draco just helped me up her a few minutes ago. And yes she knows I'm here, should told Draco to help me up here. He'll be back in a few minutes, he went and got me breakfast. I think I'm gonna get spoiled if he is going to wait on me." the three girls laughed at the thought of Draco waiting on them. Elvira winced and grabbed her side, the other girls looked worried. "It's ok, just don't make me laugh so hard."

"You made yourself laugh." Angel said smiling.

"Yea I guess you're right?" she giggled.

The girls sat there talking about the match, and kept complementing Elvira on her crazy stunt. Draco came in a few minutes later carrying a tray full of different kinds of breakfast foods. "I had a feeling you two would be up and annoying Eli." Draco said looking at the girls. Angel and Blaise climbed off of Elvira's bed and sat on Blaise's. Draco sat the tray down on Elvira's bed and sat down next to her. "You can eat too guys. I brought up extra food for you two." Draco said to them.

"Yay! Breakfast in bed. You should do this more often for us, Draco." Blaise said jumping up to get something off the tray, Angel following after her.

"Don't count on it." Draco said taking a sip from his juice.

The four sat there talking the morning away. Blaise and Angel headed out of the common room and left Draco and Elvira sitting there on her bed. Draco leaned forward and picked up the now empty tray and put it on her bedside table. "You know, my reputation could be ruined if anyone found out I just hung out with three girls." Draco said leaned back down onto Elvira's pillows.

"Or they could just call you a pimp." she laughed and winced. "Ow."

"Don't laugh dummy. You'll hurt yourself."

"Sir yes sir." she said doing a little salute.

"Cute" he said kissing the top of her head.

The two laid there talking the day away or just sitting there in silence enjoying each other's company. Elvira slowly drifted off to sleep, her head leaning on Draco's shoulder. He smiled and leaned his head onto hers as well and just started think about everything, mostly about Elvira, his mother, and what his mother has been telling him. Elvira slept peacefully for two hours, then she started breathing heavy. Draco sat up trying to wake her up.

"Eli…Eli…wake up…its ok." he said shaking her gently, though she was already moving around somewhat. Eli started whimpering quietly.

She shot up suddenly, ignoring the pain that it caused her side, "Draco!" she shouted.

"I'm right here," he said to her.

She turned her head to look at him, pale skinned and tears forming in her eyes. She hugged him tightly, her head resting on his chest, and started sobbing quietly. He just rubbed her back and tried to calm her. She had had the dream again about the Deatheaters, but instead of killing Draco, they tortured him in front of her with the Cruciatus Curse.

"Everything's ok. I'm right here. It was just a nightmare. Sssshhh." he whispered to her.

She stopped crying and sat up and looked him straight in the eyes. "No everything is not ok. It wasn't just a nightmare. It was a living hell."

He reached a hand up to her face and wiped away a stray tear rolling down her cheek. "Tell me about."

She leaned on him for the next ten minutes, his arms wrapped around her listening to her telling him about the two versions of her nightmares. "I had this dream both the other night and just now. I don't think it is just a normal nightmare, I think they're trying to tell me something."

"I don't know what to tell you," he said.

"I don't know either, but hopefully I will be ok." she said smiling up at him, through red eyes.

A few minutes later Draco got up out of her bed, "I'll be right back sweetie." he said kissing the top of her head.

Draco walked out of her room and into his dormitory that was empty. He closed the door behind him, leaning up against it with his eyes closed and sighed. He felt bad keeping what he knew from Elvira. He sighed again and walked over to his desk and pulled out some parchment and ink. He scribbled down a quick letter to his mother telling her a brief description about Elvira's dream and asking her if he could tell Elvira about what he knew. He finished signing his name and walked over to his window. He opened it and his eagle owl, Night came flying up to him. He patted him on the head a few times and attached the letter to his leg.

"This needs to go to my mother, ok? Then when you come back come to Elvira's room for me." he told the owl, the owl hooted and flew of.

Draco went over to his bedside table and pulled out all of the letters that his mother had sent him about the Deatheaters and put them in his pocket. He walked over to his door and sighed, then out of his room, and back down towards Elvira's.

When he walked in Elvira looked up, her eyes redder then when he had left. He figured that she had been crying about the dream again. He walked over to her and sat down pulling her into a comforting hug. "It's ok baby." he whispered to her.

They sat there like that for hours, Elvira starting to cry every once in a while. Around dinnertime, Blaise came up and told them that it was time to come down and go to dinner. Draco told her ok and got Elvira's medicine, he made her take two pills and then helped her downstairs and to the Great Hall. They sat down and starting eating and talking to their friends, Elvira being unusually quiet.

When dinner was over the group headed back to the dungeons and into the common room. Draco took Elvira upstairs and sat with her when Night came flying into the room and landed on the headboard of Elvira's bed. Night dropped a letter down onto them and flew off again. Draco picked it up and read it to himself.

Dear Draco,

I don't think we can keep it from Elvira any longer. I suggest that you tell her about herself and what is going on. She needs to know, now that she is starting to have these dreams. I already sent a letter to Dumbledore explaining what you told me to him. Please take care of her, and of yourself. I couldn't bear to lose the two of you.

Love, with all my heart,

Your Mother

Draco sighed and looked down at Elvira.
