THANK YOU!

Anyways, on with the show!


Draco staggered out of bed as he heard a knock on his door. He walked slowly across the room, glancing back at the clock as he went. 5:30, he was going to kill who ever was at the door. He grasped the handle and opened the door, only to be faced with an over excited Blaise.

"What do you want?" Draco's harsh words were slightly slurred due to the early morning. He really did not want to see anyone this happy this early in the morning.

"Well it looks like some one has been working out!" Draco gave his friend a questioning look then followed Blaise's eyes down to his pj bottom clad body. His tone chest and arms where out for the world to see. He promptly slammed the door shut in the other boy's face and started to walk back to bed.

"Awwwww! Drakie!" Blaise whined as he slowly peeked into the former blonde's room, "I'm just here to get you!"

"Why?" Draco's question was simple when he raised his eyebrow at this friend. Draco plopped on the bed, silently laughing about how innocent the teen looked. Oh, but Draco knew better, Blaise was evil, pure evil! …Well, maybe not like devil type of evil, but that boy could rival the Weasley twins most days. Unfortunately, the poor young Malfoy was usually sucked into these devious plots.

"It's time for tutoring of course!" Blaise waved his arms around before landing next to Draco on the bed.

"Why am I doing this again? ...AND WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE AT 5:30 IN THE MORNING?" Draco shot up and glared at his 'friend', who just smiled back at him.

"To help you pick out what to wear—first impressions are the ones that stick remember?" The brown haired teen hopped off the bed and over to the dresser. He started looking through the drawers and throwing out random clothes. Draco sat wide eyed on the bed wondering what was happening and how the boy had so much energy this early in the morning.

"How do you-"

"No time, ask me later—off to the shower with you!" A blank stare from Draco. "Now! Shoo!"

The former blond got out of the bed and started toward the shower, all the while thinking that this was going to be on hell of a day…


Two hours later, Draco was walking out of his room, glaring at anything that moved.

"Be nice and have fun!" His best friend waved from the door to his room. Blaise was in charge of cleaning up the mess they had made. Draco had taken a ½ hour shower, which was followed by having to try on at least 7 different outfits. Then 20 minutes to do his hair (which was, amusingly enough, just hanging free around his face), followed by 15 minutes of Blaise chasing him around saying: 'Its just a little black line!'. Blaise was finally able to corner Draco and apply a thin line of eyeliner. All of these events lead up to the now glaring and storming teenager that was heading to the empty classroom McGonagall had told him to meet Kaori in.

All day
Staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why

Draco opened the door to the room and almost gasped. A girl was sitting on the only window ledge in the room. She was bent partially over to write in a small book. She cast a shadow in the early morning sun even though the room was lit by bright yellow flamed candles. The girl's tight black shirt had risen up a little, revealing a black lined tattoo on her back. Her straight hair hung at the sides of her face, hiding it from view. Draco had seen her before but where? This was not the same temperamental teen he was witness to in class, this girl was different.

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Me

This girl had her own light around her it seemed, not a holy light, just a light. Then Draco remembered the first time he had seen her. The glare he had seen on her face had given him chills. It was a glare of some one who has killed; it was the same as his father's, the cold inhuman look that would cross his face increasingly over the years.

Talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind

But now this girl was just sitting there, as a normal teen would and still there was something different, something Draco just couldn't put his finger on. She almost looked like a small child, carefree to the world, not knowing what was coming, just sitting there not worrying about what tomorrow was bringing.

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Draco coughed a little to get her attention. The girl looked up and stopped writing. She jumped off the window sill and walked toward Draco.

"Ummm…hey dude, Kari" She was brushing off her short plaid shirt and placing her notebook on the table that Draco didn't even notice before, so she just said her name off handedly.

I been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me

"Draco Malfoy" Draco said his name with at least some pride. She finally looked up at him so he could see her eyes. They where unnaturally beautiful, greens, blues and browns where all swirled together in the perfect mixture. They shone out from her dark black make up like the sun that's rising above a mountain peak on a clear morning.

"No worries, I know, actually I think every one does…" Kari put her finger to her lip in thought.

"…right then, are you ready to start?" Draco took out his wand and a small stack of paper appeared on the table next to the notebook.

"No, but then again I don't have much of a choice huh?" Kari sat down and took a muggle pen out of a bag that was on the floor. The bag much resembled a…yellow rabbit? This girl is really strange… Draco took the seat across from her and looked out the window.

"Just tell me when you're done with that."

"Mhmm" Was all Draco got in return as the girl in front of his read the paper and chewed on the end of her pen.

I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be…
