Chapter Three

"Ohayou gozaimasu!"

When Draco Malfoy opened his eyes, he was greeted by the sight of a girl with long blue hair and yellow eyes. She was quickly pulled away from him by a similar-looking girl who hissed something at the first.

The blond haired boy attempted to sit up and rub his eyes. He didn't make it very far before his chest burst into pain. He looked down his nose at his chest; it was bare, aside from a few bandages which looked as though they were concealing a cut.

It's from the fight yesterday, he thought.

"Don't do that!" a voice near him yelled. Draco turned his head to the right and saw the long-haired girl cooing over Harry. It appeared as though she were trying to look at something. Typical, he thought, even here they adore him and his scar.

"Demo," She whined. The short haired girl again pulled her away and hissed at her. She seemed to have the mentality of a five year old child with no manners.

"Enjoying the attention, Potter?" Draco sneered at his roommate for the time being. They were probably brought in together, which would have been why they were in the same room. Or, they could be at a very small hospital. The second was more likely, as this was undoubtedly a non-magical hospital, seeing as St. Mungos was the only Wizarding hospital in Britain.

"What?" the black-haired boy asked. He seemed to still be half asleep as he asked this. Draco didn't answer him. Why should he? The prick didn't hear him the first time, so he was just going to let the matter drop. Anyways, he was getting tired.

"Ohayou!"

"Shizuka ni!"

"Naze!"

"Shuzuka ni!"

"Hai, Neesan…"

"What the bloody hell are you two arguing about!?" Harry snapped at the twins. They almost seemed unrelated, based solely on personality, but they weren't. Unless they were sisters or cousins, it was likely that they were twins. Especially considering that they seemed to spend all of the their time together.

They also seemed to argue a lot if the past ten minutes were any indication. From what he could tell, the girl with short hair wanted her sister to be quiet, and her sister did not want to be.

The long haired sister jumped up and down happily while the other stared him down. She seemed to be more mature and less trusting.

"Watashi wa Yuiko desu!" The happier girl sang. Harry stared at her like she was crazy. Of course, not knowing the language, he heard her telling someone to dance.

"Yuiko," The more mature girl snapped at her sister, who turned around.

"Naze?" Tameko quickly explained to her sister that her earlier guess of them not knowing the language might have been right, and that she should only use her name when introducing herself.

"Yuiko," She stated again, pointing at herself.

"Tameko," Her older sister repeated. Harry took a shot in the dark, which actually was more like noon, and assumed that they were introducing themselves. He decided that he may as well introduce himself and Malfoy as well.

"Harry," He pointed to himself. "Ferret," He pointed to Malfoy.

"Ha-ey-ri," Yuiko sounded out his name. Was this how Hermione felt when Krum mispronounced her name? "Fey-re-tt-u," She smiled when she pointed to Draco. Harry nodded and smiled, and Yuiko seemed to take that as a "Well done."

"Tabete," Tameko told him as she set down a tray of food in front of him. He looked at it skeptically. When he had returned from Hogwarts the summer after his first year, Dudley was constantly complaining about the food at the hospital he had stayed at while getting his tail removed. Would this food be as gross and disgusting as Dudley claimed it to be?

"Tah-beh-teh?" He repeated. What did that mean?

"Tabete, tabete!" Yuiko insisted, holding a spoonful of soup up to his face. Oh, eat. He realized. He opened his mouth and she fed him. He didn't attempt to raise his right arm to hold the spoon himself, as he had discovered yesterday that it was broken. He figured that this was not a magical hospital, as it was still broken today. However, the pain was not as bad as it had been when he was younger and Dudley had broken his arm. Perhaps they had a magic-like ability here?

Tameko came up beside him and helped him to sit up. This confirmed his suspicions that this was neither a Muggle nor Wizarding hospital, as Muggles had numerous nurses always on hand to help one maneuver. He continued to allow himself to be fed.
