"You planned this?" sighed Blaise as they headed into the common room.

"Well," smirked Draco, "Not the whole; knock my head off with a sword plan. But yeah, I guessed she would tell you."

"Why me?"

"Cos your not me," sighed Draco, "She isn't a very trusting person. I guessed she didn't trust me." Even saying this made his brain hurt. Why wasn't he good enough to be trusted? It can't be because of his family, Kerkera had said she had never heard of the Malfoy's.

"You could try being nicer to her," suggested Blaise, staring at the fire.

"Since when was I nice to anyone?" sneered Draco. Blaise sighed yes he had a point. Blaise was used to Draco's taunts, he could take them. But Kerkera?

"You could try." He suggested.

"Why? It's not like it would work. She's difficult!"

"Just talk to her Draco." Sighed Blaise, standing up, "I think the poor kid needs all the friends she can get."

"Who said I want to be her friend?" snapped Draco, turning round in his chair to watch Blaise head to the doorway.

"Your concern," smiled Blaise, "Good day Draco."

And with that Blaise left the common room. Draco sat back and stared into space. Jerk. He didn't need Kerkera to like him. No, if he wanted something, he'd just take it. Just cos she's an orphan who had been running away since she was eight…

"Oh god Damnit!" shouted Draco. Why had she affected him like this?

Stupid question, said a voice in the back of his mind.

Oh my god your back!

Yes Draco, I am back.

I thought I got rid of you in theropy!

Shut up you prat! This isn't about that!

But-

Shut it! Anyway, you know why she's affected you like this. You like her, don't you? Don't try and hide anything, just admit it! You like her! Draco and Kerri sitting in a tree-

"Shut up!" shouted Draco, whacking himself around the head.

"Don't talk like that to me Mr. Malfoy," said an oily voice. Draco opened his eyes and caught himself staring up at Snape.

"I won't ask," he smirked as Draco stood up and walked across the common room, "I merely came to ask you about the girl,"

"Kerri-," Draco stopped himself, Snape wouldn't catch him off guard like that. After a pause Draco continued, "Way did you send her to me? I'm going to guess that Dumbledore knows nothing of her existence?"

"That's where your wrong," said Snape, sitting on the settee nearest the fire, "Dumbledore is very much aware that she is here. I guess she has told you why she is here?"

"Maybe," Draco sighed, throwing himself into a winged armchair opposite Snape.

"So I guess you know who she was running away from?"

After a long pause, Draco nodded, "Voldemort,"

"Very good," nodded Snape to show he was impressed, "The Order is very aware of young Kerkera's situation. That's why we didn't need to send her to the headmaster. We thought that, Kerkera being who she is, it would of scared her to think that she's been followed all her life by more than one person."

Draco listened, finally some info about his girlf-…surprise visitor.

"Why is Voldemort after her?" asked Draco, (a/n; just to say, Draco, Snape and Blaise are really part of the Order, they are sort of …under cover agents!)

"Well," said Snape, glancing into the fire, "No doubt she will of shown you her powers. With the flying etc."

"Yes,"

"That means she is something that everyone thought had become extinct."

"What?"

"An Elemental, or as they are commonly known, Wood people. They are like Elves, they control elements and are extremely powerful. I even believed them to be just a myth, but obviously not"

"So hang on," said Draco, sitting up and crossing his arms on his knees, "If their so powerful then why did Voldemort kill her parent?"

"They probably didn't cooperate." Sighed Snape, "But at any rate, Kerkera is not in much danger. The Order wants her to stay here with you until further notice."

"Why me?" sighed Draco,

"You seemed the best. Head boy, own room, believed Death Eater, at Hogwarts, and lets face it, isn't she more likely to trust a good looking man?"

Draco didn't know what to say. Did Snape just call him a man? Not a boy, a man, and a good-looking one at that. Draco looked up to catch a glimpse of Snape's cloak swishing around the door.

"This is to much," sighed Draco. Kerkera was a Wood girl? A near extinct race of elves, it seemed really weird. But that would explain a lot, he guessed. Why she could do all that stuff, her knowledge of plants and Defence. Draco pushed open his door to see Kerkera right where they'd left her, asleep on the rug.

Maybe this is the elf form of hibernation. It would make sense that was why she slept so much. Elves could stay awake during winter, but it drained them of energy. He stared at her. She looked so…at peace. Her hair curled around her face. Draco had never seen hair like her's. It was a deep brown and at the top it was dead straight, but near the end it curled into a soft ringlet. And she did have a nice figure. A toned stomach and very good curves, both chest and hips. Even her nose was curved. It was a ski slope nose. Draco looked at her, and then felt like slapping himself. Why was he suddenly getting all emotional? Though he had heard what the voice had said, he didn't want to believe it, though he knew it was probably right.

"Stupid emotions, why can't I be a tree, or some other lifeless being, they don't have this trouble. I bet their all mocking me." Hissed Draco. Then the sleeping form caught his eye again. He couldn't leave her on the floor. She'll have a backache in the morning and…that meant she would be complaining all day. Yes, that was a good excuse to pick her up and put her on the bed next to him. It was for his own benefit.
