Becky and Mitch and even the Golden Trio were in the hospital wing as much as possible.

"You know I don't think she's going to wake up anytime soon," Madame Pomfrey said to them a few days after Becky and Draco's little "talk". "I will gladly inform all of you when she wakes."

"No we'll stay here thanks," Becky replied glaring at the bed next to mine. Occupying this bed was none other than my boyfriend. He too was unconsiouse but Madame Pomfrey was positive that he was not in a coma. She followed the direction of Becky's glare.

"I do hope he wakes up soon," she said going over to fix his bandages. "Then he can tell us who attacked him." Becky looked back at me and picked up the old stuffed animal she had given me when we were very young. I brought it with me to school even though I didn't sleep with it anymore. It just reminded me of Becky so I kept it with me. Becky had gotten it out of my trunk which I had moved into her dorm.

"Here Schyler," she said setting the stuffed gray cat under my arm. "I thought you would want this." Suddenly, a moan came from Draco's bed.

"Is he waking up?" Harry asked. Madame Pomfrey rushed into her office.

"Where'd she run off to?" Ron asked.

"Probably went to call Dumbledore," Mitch answered. Minutes later the doors opened and Dumbledore and Snape walked in.

"Malfoy is awake?" Snaped asked the school nurse.

"Not yet but I believe he will be waking up any..." Another moan came from Draco's bed and he opened his eyes slowly.

"Malfoy are you all right?" Snape asked. Draco shook his head slowly.

"Who did this to you Mr. Malfoy?" Dumbledore asked. Draco opened his mouth just as Becky stepped into his range of vision.

"Yeah we're all dying to hear what happened," she said. "You looked like you got mauled by a werewolf." Draco visibly paled and he looked away from her.

"Well Mr. Malfoy?" Dumbledore pressed.

"Um...I...I don't really remember..." he muttered.

"Don't you?" Snape asked trying to look the young blonde in the eyes.

"N...No sir," Draco replied. Snape looked from Draco to Becky seeming to know that she had something to do with Draco's odd behavior but Becky was staring coldly at Draco and Draco wasn't looking at anyone.

"Well if you have nothing to tell us then you are free to go," Madame Pomfrey said. "You'll be very sore for quite some time." Draco nodded and got out of the bed and left quickly.

"Well he was in an odd mood," Hermione said. Mitch looked at Becky but she had turned back to me.

"If that's all," Snape said to Madame Pomfrey. "I have quite a bit of work to do." The nurse nodded and Snape left.

"Professor Dumbledore?" Becky asked. The headmaster turnd to her.

"Yes Miss Rivers?"

"I have to tell you something."

"Yes?"

"Draco pushed Schyler over the railing."

"I'm aware of that."

"Did you know about him abusing her?" Becky voice rose slightly as her anger at Draco grew.

"I had some idea that things were not going well between the two of them."

"No they weren't! He beat her on a daily baisis! And now she's in a coma because of him!" Dumbledore looked down at me.

"She never mentioned any of this to me."

"Snape knew. He never did anything about it!"

"Perhaps he felt at the time that it was best to let Schyler and Draco try to work things out themselves."

"Are you going to do anything about it now?"

"I am afraid that since Miss Marcin is unable to tell me about the abuse herself I have no choice but to leave Mr. Malfoy alone. Once Miss Marcin wakes up she can tell me what happened and I shall see to it that the appropriate action is taken."

"I just told you what happened!" Becky shouted turning to the headmaster.

"Yes but without Schyler's word..."

"Look she is scared of him! She won't say anything against him! She wants to protect him! You have to do something! You have to!"

"I am sorry but I am afraid that I can't." Dumbledore turned and walked out.
