Listening in

Julia screamed again as one of the darker blobs, which she was sure was Voldemort or one of his Death Eaters, moved toward her quickly. Her fears were quickly assuaged however when she heard the rapidly approaching Madam Pomfrey call out, "Remus Lupin don't touch her! I don't know what that could do to her, Severus you should have stopped him. You know better, both of you do."

Julia breathed a sigh of relief when the dark blob moved back. She could trust that they wouldn't hurt her. Julia then turned back toward the light blob; her vision rapidly clearing she could see that it wasn't Lucius Malfoy, but she wasn't too far off the mark. It was Draco.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Julia seemed to relax once she had looked at all the people in the room. Draco had been worried when she had screamed while looking at Him. 'Why did she do that?' Draco had no idea.

"What now?" he asked of the matron.

"First off young man I want to know what you're doing here. I didn't give you clearance to be up here."

Draco was at a loss for words, he had really just come up here to talk to Severus. He didn't want to get his godfather into trouble though. What to say? What to say?

Julia was tired, mentally and physically. It had been two days since she had woken up, two sleepless days. She had been too scared to actually sleep. What if she went back into the coma?

The matron had cleared Julia, had said that she would be okay. Julia didn't believe her, how did she know? As far as Julia knew she was the only person who had ever gone through this, well she suspected that there had been someone else. When she had asked Remus he had changed the subject rather quickly.

Julia was starting to remember the voices that she had heard while in the coma, the real voices. She knew who they were now. She knew who had woken her up, who had been her lifeline. It had been Draco Malfoy. That had shocked Julia; she didn't even know why Malfoy had been in the room in the first place. Nor did she ask, she was just happy to be awake, finally awake.

The only thing that bothered Julia now was loneliness. The matron had insisted on a no visitation rule. She had said that other people would, 'oh what's the word', "adversely affect her condition". She didn't even see the nurse but once a day. Her meals magically appeared on a plate from the kitchens. She wasn't even allowed to see Harry. That bothered Julia the most, the fact that she wasn't even allowed to see her brother, to apologize to him.

What Julia really wanted right now was a visitor. What she didn't know was that there was someone just outside the door whose soul desire was to visit her.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Draco Malfoy was bored. He wasn't merely bored, he was bored beyond reason. He was bored without reason.

"You know it won't do you any good to sit there all day, Draco, your not going to see her today, or tomorrow for that matter."

Yes Draco was waiting to see Julia; he was waiting to see a Potter.

"When, then, can I see her? It's been two days! Two days. How much longer is it going to be?" Draco exclaimed.

He was tired of waiting. He needed to see her, to make sure that she was all right. He couldn't explain why he needed to see her beyond that. In the back of his mind he knew that guilt was a driving factor. He just wouldn't admit it to himself.

"Draco I don't know how long its going to be, it all depends on how well she acclimates to her condition. We haven't even told her all of the symptoms. We can't, it would crush her." The matron was trembling slightly out of exhaustion; she hadn't slept much out of worry for her charge. She didn't know why Dumbledore didn't just send her to St. Mungos. St. Mungos was a hospital for the magical world. She would be better off at St. Mungos. Dumbledore had insisted she stay though. He had said that it would be infinitely safer for her here.

"Okay" Draco said. He wouldn't leave but he knew asking anything else would be unwise, the matron looked on edge.

With that the matron left heading down to lunch, where every one else should be. It was where Draco should be, but what did he know?

Draco sat back down, never noticing the door to the infirmary close ever so slightly.

"Why can't I see her?" Harry Potter demanded.

He was sick and tired of waiting for the nurse to clear Julia for visitation. If it hadn't been for the calming presence of Hermione granger and the hopeful one of Ron Weasley he might have gone to Hogwarts by himself to see her. He would have blasted open the doors if it came to it. Instead Harry sat at the kitchen table in Grimmauld Place and vented. He had only just woken up from the potion induced sleep that he had agreed to once he found out that Julia was okay.

"Why can't I see her?" he asked again futilely. His friends could only look at him with sadness; they knew the answer as well as he did.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Julia sat back in her bed thinking over what she had just heard.

"We haven't even told her all of the symptoms. We can't, it would crush her."

What did that mean, "it would crush her", what did that mean?

"Julia was tired of being alone; she would talk to the only person who wanted to see her it seemed.

Julia crept slowly toward the door of the infirmary again. She opened the door slightly. When she looked out she saw Draco leaning against the wall, asleep.

'He's asleep I should just leave him alone'. Julia thought to herself.

Instead of waking him up as Julia planned, Julia went over and sat next to Draco. She would wait until he woke up to talk to him, right now what she needed was to be near someone, anyone.
