Draco sat in a chair outside of the infirmary with his head in his hands. Faustine, Katya's mud-blood friend, sat in another chair worry clear on her face. A nurse walked out the infirmary doors and approached the two; Draco stood up wanting to know what she was going to say.

"She is going to be just fine dear. We got all the poison out of her system and her wounds are healing but they are going to scar." The nurse said smiling sadly. Draco sighed in relief, "She still asleep but you can go see her now."

Draco rushed through the doors followed closely behind by Faustine. They sat on two chairs on each side of the bed and he looked at Katya. Her skin was paler than usual, probably from blood lose but she was just as beautiful. The golden egg sat on the table next to her.

"At least she is going to be okay." Faustine said randomly trying to ease the awkwardness between the two.

Draco looked at her in disgust, filthy half-blood he thought to himself. "It is a relief."

"May ask what is going on between you two?" Faustine asked.

"As far as anyone is concerned she is mine." Draco said a little coldly.

"You can't just claim people—she isn't a piece of property." Faustine replied angrily crossing her arms over her chest.

"This matter doesn't concern you." Draco said dismissing Faustine.

"The hell it doesn't!" Faustine yelled, "She is my best friend and I sure as hell don't want her ending up with someone that won't treat her right!"

Draco sighed, "I didn't mean it that way."

"Well next time make sure to clarify that." Faustine muttered leaning back in her chair in annoyance. Looking back at the bed, they heard a soft moan of pain. Katya had rolled over to her side and Draco sucked in a deep breath. The sheet had fell off and no pooled at her waist. Bandages wrapped around her chest but that's not what made Draco upset. It was that her bandages were already showing blood seeping through. "What is it?"

"Nurse!" Draco shouted and the nurse came running over.

"What is it?" The nurse asked before she saw Katya's back, "Oh dear! I need you darlings to leave."

Draco and Faustine walked away leaving the nurse to do her job.

Katya winced as she woke up it felt as if her back was on fire and her entire body was sore. She moaned in pain as she moved to sit up. Opening her eyes, her vision was blurry and she had pounding head ache.

She felt a hand grab hers and she turned her head to see Draco. "Hey doll, how are you?"

"I feel like the dragon ate me and spat me back out." Katya replied grimacing as she moved. Draco laughed, "Did I get the egg?"

"It's right next to you." Katya sighed in relief resting her head on the pillow. "You really scared me out there."

"Imagine 'ow I felt…" She mumbled the words, still tired.

"How is your back?" Draco asked rubbing her hand lightly.

"It burns." Katya said, "How long have I been out?"

"Two days." Draco replied and she groaned.

"'ow much homework do I 'ave to make up?" Draco bursted into laughter, "What?"

"You fought a dragon and almost died and what you are worrying about right now is homework." Draco chuckled and Katya laughed at herself.

"Well I don't want to get to far behind." Katya replied she heard a person cough and Draco ripped his hand from hers. It was Harry.

"Hi 'arry." Katya said smiling.

"How are you doing?" Harry asked setting down a package of jelly beans next her night stand, "I brought you jelly beans but I don't if you like them or not but here you go."

"Thanks 'arry. Just sore, 'ow did your dragon go?"

"Just a few scraps and burns, nothing to bad." Harry replied and Draco just sat there fuming. "Well I will be going now, I hope you feel better." Harry said awkwardly feeling the tension in the air and left.

"Draco." Katya said scolding him.

"I told you I don't like him." Draco said shrugging his shoulders.

"You could 'ave at least tried to be nice." Katya said and he snorted.

"I will never be 'nice' to Harry Potter." Draco spat and she looked at him unamused. The nurse came in carrying in two trays of food. She handed one to Katya and the other to Draco. He looked at it in surprise.

"I didn't think you would want to leave her side." The nurse said smiling fondly at the two and walked away.

"How long 'ave you been sitting here?" Katya asked in surprise.

Draco blushed, "Well whenever I wasn't in class…I've been here..waiting for you to wake up." He said slightly embarrassed.

Katya's face turned scarlet and she looked down at her hands, "You really must care about me."

"Well I wouldn't sit around a hospital for just anyone." Draco snorted jokingly, Katya laughed.

Her stomach growled, "Let us eat, I'm starved." The ate there meal not saying much when it came to small talk. The nurse came over and grabbed their trays.

"You can head back to your own bed, whenever you feel capable." The nurse said smiling kindly, but you will need to visit us every day so we can change your bandages."

"Thank you very much." She said smiling at the nurse, the nurse turned and went away. Katya began climbing out of bed wincing.

"What are you doing?" Draco asked seriously.

"I'm going to go sleep in my own bed…" Katya replied staring at him like he was crazy. She stood on her feet a small moan escaping her lips. Draco walked over to Katya, helping support her. "I got it." She said shaking off his arm and she stretched her back wincing.

"I think you should stay here another night." Draco said, looking at Katya's face, pain clearly there.

"No, I'm going to go sleep in my own bed." Katya said firmly stretching her legs.

"Katya…" Draco said trying to argue with her before she cut him off.

"Draco, no." She said sternly and he quite trying to argue.

"At least let me help you." Draco said and Katya nodded her head as she slipped on a shirt and started walking. They made it to her schools dorm and they stopped. Draco kissed her lightly on the cheek. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight," Katya whispered as he walked away. She walked into the common room and Faustine rushed up to her and threw her arms around her; Katya yelped in pain.

"I'm so sorry!" Faustine said gasping, "I forgot!"

"Don't worry about it!" Katya said laughing lightly, the girls from her school stormed around her asking if she was okay and if she was feeling any better.

"So do you have the golden egg?" Faustine asked and Katya nodded her head showing her the egg; she passed it around allowing everyone to see it. When it was back in her arms she asked them if they wanted her to open it. The girls screamed yes; unclasping the egg the shell fell down into four different sections.

A horrific scream filled the room. Girls covered their ears in surprise, wincing and groaning at the sound. She quickly closed the egg and the girls uncovered their ears.

"Well that was bloody un'elpful." Katya muttered, still wincing at the sound.

"What are you going to do?" One of the girls asked.

"Go to bed." Katya said overcome by exhaustion not only had her only clue been extremely unhelpful, she already missed the presence of Draco and just wanted to go to bed. The girl groaned in disagreement but she headed to bed anyways. Crawling into bed, Katya instantly fell into pleasant dreams.
