I woke up in the morning to the sound of soft snoring. Smiling slightly, I lifted my head from where it had been laying, and shifted my weight so that I was leaning on my elbow. I lay, and watched him sleeping for a while, before finally deciding to wake him. Gently, extending one of my fingers, I traced its tip along his jaw line. He shifted slightly in his sleep, and so I continued to trace my hand across his face, until, with his eyes still closed, he grabbed my wrist, kissed it, and released it. "Leave me alone."

I giggled, "Its time to get up," I cooed softly into his ear, before pulling the covers off both of us, and jumping off the bed. I was still in just a bra, and so I quickly reached over and pulled a jumper on over the top, keeping the same skirt on. By this time Seiji had fallen out of bed, and left to go and find some clothes from his dorm. I made my way to the common room, and sat on one of the sofas whilst I waited for him and Draco to come down.

Finally they did, although god knows why it had taken so long for them to get ready. Together, we made our way to the dining hall, for breakfast. We walked into the hall at the same time as my brother and his friends, and whilst Draco and Seiji went to get seats, they stopped me to talk to me.

"Urh, Kara, why are you with them?" asked Harry.

Oops, had not foreseen this problem, "Um, because they're my friends."

"Hang on, THEY'RE your friends?" Ron, not quite all there.

"Umm, yes. I just said that."

"Since when?"

"It doesn't matter." I began to make my way over to their table.

"Kara," Hermione spoke, "The Gryffindor table is this way."

"I know. But I'm not in Gryffindor any more."

"WHAT?" they spoke in unison.

"Why not?" demanded Harry.

"I swapped, last night. To Slytherin."

"What?"

"Why?"

"NO!"

They all expressed similar noises of distaste, and I simply gave them a sad smile, "because I wanted to, I needed to. And now I'm happier."

Harry came up to me, and put his enraged face close to mine, although I shied away slightly, "You stupid, stupid girl."

I was so scared, and didn't know what to do. Why was he being so mean? He was scaring me, couldn't he see this.

I was saved, at that moment, by Seiji appearing at my side. My knight in shining armour. He looked at Harry angrily. "Back Off," he hissed, in parseltongue.

That shocked Harry, who had thought that he was the only lucky one, who could speak such a language. Nervously, he, Ron, and Hermione backed away, and hurried to the Gryffindor table. Seiji took my arm, and firmly led me to the Slytherin Table, where I sat next to him, and he next to Draco. I genteelly sipped on a glass of water, and nibbled on a dry piece of toast, before getting up, to return to the common room.

Before I could go anywhere, Seiji had yet again grabbed my wrist, and this time he pulled me back down onto the bench, "Don't go yet."

"Ummmm…why not?"

"'Cause I said so."

"I don't care." I tried standing up again.

"Ooh, feisty today, are we? Eat some more, you're almost anorexic."

"And you're not?"

He simply raised his eyebrows.

"It's fine. I'm not hungry, and when I'm not hungry, I don't eat."

"So, that means you're never hungry, 'cause you never eat."

"Just leave her, Seiji," Draco chipped in. "Let her be."

I shivered.

"Are you ok?" Draco looked at me, concern on his face.

"Yeah, I think I'm getting a cold. I feel a bit faint."

"THEN FUCKING EAT SOMETHING!" Seiji demanded.

I glared at him, and once again stood up, and left the room. Hurrying across the entrance hall, I made my way into the dungeons, and then to the common room. Once inside, I paused for breath, and to think. Whilst standing, I felt myself sway on the spot ominously, and next thing I knew, everything was black.

I woke up to find myself in a room, surrounded by men in white coats. Doctors. I knew that I had to be in hospital, it was too busy to be the hospital wing. Apparently, I had some really weird illness, that made me not want to eat, and not drink enough, and be tired and emotional, and faint a lot. I'd thought it was always me being strange. I spent nearly a month in hospital.

It was almost February when I returned to Hogwarts once more.
