A/N: sobs uncontrollably. I'm SOOOOO sorry I haven't done any writing. School is trying to kill me and I'm at war with the evolutional electronics and the centipedes that joined their ranks.
MidnightRose: You are my only real reader so I love you. Lol. Thanks for the support. I hope you don't give up on me, I'll never give up on this story, updates may just be a few far in between. P.S. Awesome name.
In the Hospital Wing:
"Get your arse to Charms!"
"I won't leave you here!"
"I want to know what's going on in class, you're not going to miss much, I'll just be asleep."
"I'm not leaving you alone Elizabeth, something might happen." Draco had refused to move from the end of the bed, even after Dumbledore had left to go to the trial.
"Something might happen anyways," Elizabeth rolled her eyes.
"Like that will get him to go," Harry snorted from the other half of the bed. Draco had tried to shove the Gryffindor off but Harry had pushed back. Eventually Elizabeth tired of watching and ordered them to stop.
"Honestly Draco, you're not doing a very good job of hiding your feelings," Elizabeth cocked an eyebrow.
"I AM NOT LEAVING," Draco crossed his arms, ignoring Elizabeth's comment.
"Madam Pomfrey, can you please tell him to go to class to get the homework?" Elizabeth lifted a stiff hand to point at the blonde. Every inch of her body still hurt slightly from the curse.
"Mr. Malfoy, you should at least go and get the homework, I can give you a note to leave seeing as you won't concentrate anyways," the head nurse handed him a note and he left, grumbling.
"If Malfoy gets off, so do I!" Harry looked stubborn.
"And what of class?"
"I'll tell her that I predicted that Divination would bring great misfortune today. She thinks I'll drop dead at any minute, and I'll probably get extra marks for the fake prediction," Harry smiled and the nurse shook her head and left.
Elizabeth dropped back on the pillows and sighed. First week of school and she had already been attacked. "You know Lizzie, you're going to break my record of times in the Hospital Wing soon."
She smiled. "Harry…tell me more about Voldemort, and Draco…please?" she added when she saw his face.
"Lizzie, there's lots to tell, and I'm not too thrilled to talk about Malfoy," he looked at her face and sighed again. "Ask Malfoy about himself, I don't know much, or at least I don't know the real him."
"The real him?" she looked up at the window and saw an owl fly by before dropping her gaze back to the Gryffindor.
"Yeah, Malfoy doesn't show feelings too often. He can't with all the Slytherins working for Voldemort. His father, as well as Snape are spies for our side so it's really hard for him. I can't believe I just said that," he looked disgusted but smiled when Elizabeth laughed lightly.
"So what about Voldemort?" Elizabeth looked at Harry and noted that the boy's face-hardened slightly.
Harry began telling Elizabeth about all the encounters (A/N: meetings, not…encounters. Get your mind out of the gutter people) he had had with the wizard. (A/N: sorry for all the interruptions. I'm not going to explain it all because I'm hoping you've all read the books) Ten minutes later, while Harry finished explaining the prophecy and what it entailed, including the 'one cannot live while the other survives' part, which he had told no one else about, Draco returned to the Hospital Wing.
He immediately rushed over to the bed and sat down on the end, a sheet of paper with the homework placed on the bedside table. "Hey Lizzie, how you feeling?"
"As good as I can after getting a curse put on me," she said sarcastically, making Draco smile slightly. "So what are we missing in Charms?"
"Not much, just more practice from last year," Draco moved self-consciously forward until he was level with the girl's knees. "You sure you're ok?"
"I'll live Draco, don't worry. So what else should I know about this place?" Elizabeth looked between the two boys, though her eyes lingered on Draco longer. "Who will try to kill me? What do you do for fun? You know, the usual."
"Slytherins may try to kill you, and maybe a few recruited people from other houses but we don't know who they are. You should stay with one of us at all times, you seem to be a new target," Harry looked worried but Draco looked frightened for the girl.
"Most of the time is spent studying but there are Hogsmeade trips once a month usually," Draco shuffled a few inches closer to Elizabeth. He seemed to be the only one who didn't notice him doing it either.
Elizabeth gave a great yawn, thought she tried to hide it. Unfortunately, that was the moment Madam Pomfrey returned to her patient and began shoeing the two boys out of the room, forcing a sleeping draught down the girl's throat. Elizabeth began blinking multiple times as her world grew dark.
-------------------------
A flash of green light from the corner of my eye and the lady beside me screams…the man laughing, he is triumphant…I'll kill you! I'll kill you…white light…pain… Elizabeth jerked to wakefulness and was met with two silver diamonds…no…eyes.
"Elizabeth?" Draco shook her slightly. "Elizabeth, are you alright?"
The muggle girl blinked quickly, trying to bring her world into focus. Draco was in front of her, blonde hair mussed from sleep, looking worried. The moon was streaming into her window; she was back in her bed. "What happened?"
"I think you were remembering whatever you remembered when seeing those Death Eaters again," Draco didn't let go of the girl.
"Why am I in my room? And…why are you here?" she looked at him, finding it hard to focus with the moon shining directly behind the boy, the platinum hair reflecting it ever so slightly.
"Madam Pomfrey brought you here, she said you would be fine and you might as well get a goodnight sleep. I think Dumbledore persuaded her a bit though. I'm here to make sure you're alright, Harry is asleep out on the couch," Draco smiled slightly.
"Oh ok," Elizabeth nodded and fell back on the bed, again out of consciousness. Draco shook his head and lay back down on the opposite side of the large canopy bed. Before trying to fall asleep though, he leant over and kissed Elizabeth softly and sweetly on the lips. The girl did not wake but smiled slightly in her sleep. Draco smiled too and turned over to get more sleep before class started in another 6 hours. He was happy that there was no one to see his show of affection but the moon and the stars twinkling overhead.
A/N: I apologize for it being so short! Well…short compared to what I normally write. I just figured I'd update the little bit instead of making you wait forever. I am still updating both of my fanfictions if you're interested in reading my other one. Ignore the one called 'The Referee Edited' because I'm going to teach my class about fanfiction and I needed to get rid of all the inappropriate stuff. Lol. Please review and don't worry if I don't update all that often, I'll never give up on the story, so there is no need to give up on me. I strongly recommend that if you will be looking for updates, add my story to Story Alert, it will make it easier for you.
