Maya was barely aware of someone saying her name. She opened her eyes slowly. It seemed like it had been only a moment since Malfoy had left. Instead of seeing Malfoy, she met a pair of green eyes.

"Maya?"he said gently. She was vaguely aware that he was holding her hand.

"You're.... Harry, right?"she guessed, her cold interfered with her ability to think. She was drowsy because of all the sleep she had gotten. She silently thought on all that had happened. She had been saved twice, and she had only arrived last night.

"I just wanted to... you left your book," Harry said, putting the book on the side table.

"Oh thank you, that's very sweet," Maya said, smiling. Harry wasn't sure what to say/ He felt a bit ashamed of himself. She was so pure, how could he have tried to approach her so suddenly? He had only met her last night, afterall.

"Yes well. It's a muggle book, right?" Harry asked, deciding to change the topic. He couldn't have helped himself last night. He convinced himself it was because he was drowsy. Yes, that must have been it he thought to himself.

"Muggle?" she asked curiously. "Non-magical folk, you mean,". She cringed at the word, as though it scraped into her flesh like a silver blade.

"... yes. So it is?"he asked. She smiled again. Many people were surprised by her reading material the last night or so. Although she mentally reminded herself to get Hermione to show her some good magical books since this place was so new to her and the library so confusing.

"Yes. I brought it with me from home so I wouldn't get home sick too much. Afterall, I am across the sea from the city where I was born and raised all my life." She said , although the topic saddened her.

"Oh, I'm sorry that so many bad things have happened since you got here." Harry said quietly, she truly pitied the way her first night had gone.

"Oh, don't fret, it's really not that bad. I have to admit, this has been the most adventurous trip I have ever been on. Although I have never been to Europe before so I have to wonder if all your folk have such an exciting life," Maya replied, hoping to cheer him up. She was sad that her comment had made him feel remorse over what had happened.

"Oh," he replied, and wasn't sure what to say. There was an akward silence between them. "I better go, Hermione and Ron will miss me at the next class if I don't go now." Harry got up to leave and let go of her hand.

"Goodnight Harry," she said, closing her eyes. He chuckled.

"Goodnight," he replied, although her choice of words made him smile. It was lunch! He walked out of the Hospital wing slowly, and thought over all that had happened. Now that it was day and his head had cleared things were all so much more complicated. He wasn't sure what he felt anymore. He wasn't sure how his friends would interact after all that had happened. On the way through the halls, he was suddenly pushed up against the wall roughly.

"Potter, I'm warning you for the last time," Malfoy growled. Harry wasn't surprised to see Malfoy there. Only Malfoy would shove him against a wall so abruptly.

"Warning me for what?"Harry asked, wondering what he had done to annoy Malfoy so much.

"Leave the girl alone, or else," Malfoy said quietly but intensely. He then let go and walked away. Harry looked after him in bewilderment. What had just ocurred there? Was Malfoy...? Did he really...? Harry didn't know whether to take out his wand for a duel or fall over laughing. Malfoy was jealous. In fact, Malfoy appeared to be weak to Maya as well. He wanted to laugh but decided it was best to walk in silence until he could laugh when he was alone. At least then it wouldn't be quite so dangerous. Harry warily walked to the Gryffindor common room to get his things for potions.

While leaving, Hermione stepped beside him as they walked.

"Harry, why are you so nice to that girl?" Hermione asked with a slight hint of aggrivation in her voice. Harry was now even more stiff with holding back the laughter.

"What do you mean?"he asked, smiling. Hermione seemed to recoil a bit.

"You look at her like... like... like..."Hermione tried to explain but her words were caught in her throat.

"Are you jealous Hermione?" he asked seriously. It seemed everyone was jealous now. It was like a cold that everyone was catching.

"I... ofcourse not! Why would you... sort of." Hermione stuttered.

"Don't worry, Maya will never take your place," he said, smiling reassuringly at her. She seemed to take the answer pleasantly, and blushed a bit.

"So... did you get to talk to Ron yet?"Hermione asked, changing the topic. Although at this point it was just as embarrassing as the previous one.

"Well.... not yet," Harry said, then let out a breath. "Things have been moving really quickly lately,".

"I agree, things really have twisted since those girls arrived, haven't they?" Hermione remarked, but this time she said it as a serious statement with no offense in it.

"Things sure have gotten twisted. I guess we'll just have to wait and see then," Hermione said quietly. They walked into Snape's classroom and more whispers errupted among their classmates as they sat down with Ron.

"Hey Ron, why is everyone acting so strangely?" Harry asked, looking around at them. Ron seemed to take time to answer and twirled his quill with mock interest for a few moments.

"Hermione accidentally went into the boy's dorm last night and well..." Ron couldn't finish it. Hermione flushed.

"I accidentally slept in the wrong bed," Hermione said quietly, everyone was watching, waiting for someone to slip up.

"Which one?" Harry asked, also lowering his voice. Hermione whispered into his ear.

"OI!" Harry yelled loudly. He was so surprised he hadn't seen Severus Snape walk in to greet the class.

"I'm glad to see you're taking an interest in potions, Potter. However, if you would like to learn something I suggest you not disrupt my class," Snape remarked coldly. The Slytherins laughed quietly, each in their own groups. "Malfoy. You need at least one partner. I will put you with... how about...". Snape glanced around the room questionabley.

"Hermione Granger,". Hermione groaned. Malfoy frowned, and moved over to sit with the trio.

"Why aren't you paired with your goons?" Hermione asked miserabley. Malfoy ignored her.

"Write the formula Granger. Not a word unless it's about today's potion," he remarked.
