Disclaimer: From the wizarding world of Harry Potter, I would like to thank JK Rowling for unknowing letting me used her characters and the wizarding world in which she imagined. I own nothing of her characters, but from my petty fanfiction, I do own Mia and a few minor characters I have created. The character Lindsay is not of my creation but my friend who I played countless hours of Role play with. Enjoy the Story!

CHAPTER 13 (edited)

Before waking up, I dreamed only of Draco's lips on mine. Nothing like a full make-out scene but with sweet light kisses. Yet when I opened my eyes, he wasn't around. I gently lifted my hand to my lips. Why did my dream feel so real even after waking up? My lips felt like they had actually been touched.

"Mia, you awake?" Matthew's voice came from behind me. I jumped up and smiled when I saw Matthew.

"Yeah, I am up." I smiled and turned around to look at Snowflake.

"You know the nurse said she would tell you the first sign of waking up. You don't have to come stay every night." Matthew said coming up behind me. He handed me a cup of coffee. His arms came around me, holding me protectively. Normally I would back away from it, but I needed anything to keep my mind off of Draco.

"It's been a whole month and she still hasn't woke up. What happens if she never does?" I mumbled, looking down at the coffee. The steam from the hot cup up hit my face, warming it. I actually hated coffee but out of politeness, I took it. I just didn't drink it.

"Malfoy left before I came in. He sure has some nerve showing his face." Matthew spat. I feel his arms tense up, but I didn't care.

"Did he now?" I whispered feeling a smile on my lips. Even now, my heart still fluttered when I heard his name. I should hate him for what he did to my friend and in a way I did, but I still had feelings for him.

"Mia?" Matthew whispers in my ear.

"Yeah?" I say. He turns me around and without a moment to spare, his lips are on mine. My eyes widen and I freeze in my spot. He pulls me closer by the waist, so I close my eyes and move closer. I won't lie, the kiss is amazing but when we pulled away and I opened my eyes, it wasn't the same. It wasn't Draco. I hope he didn't notice the disappointment in my eyes. To hide it, I pulled him into a hug.

"Come, we should go to the great hall for breakfast before it's all gone," Matthew said as he pulled away from the hug. I nodded and gave him a fake smile. Keeping a hold of my hand, he pulled me away from Snowflake's bed. I turned back to look one last time. Color was returning to her skin and every once in a while her hands would move but other than that, she looked dead. They were saying that when he woke up, whenever that would happen, she might be paralyzed.

Once in the great hall, Lindsay shouted my name. Matthew kissed my cheek and let go of my hand.

"I will see you later." He says. He walked over to the Hufflepuff table and I made my way to Lindsay on the Slytherin table. As usual, Draco was sitting next to Lindsay but he normally would ignore me and just let Lindsay and I talk. It's hard to sit that close to him, but for Lindsay's sake I do it. I think Draco feels the same way.

"You have been spending a lot of time with Matthew lately." Lindsay gave me that look. The look that hinted that Matthew and I might just date. I rolled my eyes and tried to hide my smile forming on my lips. I began filling my plate with food.

"Has he kissed you yet?" Lindsay smiled. I looked up at Lindsay and I couldn't help but smile back. When Lindsay smiles, everyone turns their heads. Guys and girls both can't look away when she smiles. The thing about Lindsay is she is probably the hottest girl at Hogwarts, but she doesn't even notice.

"Well…" I trailed off my sentence showing a small smile. I could feel my cheeks warming up a bit.

"Oh, Merlin! He did! How was it?" Lindsay asked.

"It was nothing too exciting," I said.

"I don't like him. He's bad news. Any Hufflepuff is." Draco says, butting into the conversation.

"Is that what you think of me, Draco Malfoy?" I say emphasizing on Malfoy, "Am I just that much of an inconvenience."

I lift my drink to my lips to take a drink of the Pumpkin Juice.

"Maybe you are. You know the only reason I associate with you is because Lindsay, my girlfriend," Emphasizing on girlfriend, "is friends with you. Otherwise, you could be dead for all I care, half-blood."

I feel a sharp pain in my chest. I slam my drink down on the table. This hurt more than my father rejecting me as his daughter. I stood up scraping my chair back loudly, which caused everyone to turn their gaze to us.

"I have a date to go on." I lied before I shot a glare at Draco. Turning on my heels, I walked towards the great hall doors. Why?! Why the hell does he always have to do that? I walked until I couldn't hear the voice from the great hall before my fist encountered the hard stone wall. Pain shot threw my body and up into my arms. I was just glad no one was around to see me, as I fell to the ground and cried. It's more then what Draco said to me to cause me this much pain. It's the built up hate and rejection I had over the years are spilling out. It felt so good to let it out, like a weight lifted from my shoulders. Maybe I was just a useless Hufflepuff. I heard a movement from behind me. I didn't dare to move, so I looked over my shoulder. I saw Draco there, just standing there. I closed my eyes and turned away from him. No matter how much I wished he were here, I knew it wasn't going to happen. When I looked back, he was gone.

"Amelia." I heard behind me. I turned around to see Matthew running towards me. I whipped way my tears and stood up. He stopped right in front of me, both hands on the side of my face wiping away the tears.

"What happened?" He whispered. I couldn't talk, so I threw my arms around him and cried. He wrapped his arms around me tightly. All my tears poured out along with the emotions I had kept hidden for years.

"I wish I had never met Draco. He is just a reminder of my childhood and how I am a worthless Hufflepuff." I mumbled. Matthew pulled away from me and looked into my eyes. His hand on my shoulders.

"Do you want to forget?" Matthew asked. I nodded slowly. He pointed his wand at me and mumbled a spell. One moment I felt myself crying because of Draco and then I couldn't even remember why I was crying.

"Mia, will you do me the pleasure of being my girlfriend?" he asked as he stood up. He extended his hand to me and I gladly took it.

"Yes." I smiled.

After Lunch, I started making my way to Defense against the Dark Arts. If it were my choice, I would skip that class but every day I miss that class, the letters scratch themselves back into my hand. The pain and blood come with it. I looked at the back of my hand. It has been long gone from my hand but I feel like I can still see the word clear as day. Death-eater. My long sleeve shirt became hard to hide it so I started wearing gloves. Last week when I missed on Double class on Tuesday, it engraved itself back into my hand. That only lasted a couple of days.

Walking into the class room, Umbridge smiled at me as I made my way to seat. I looked down at the floor, avoiding her gaze. I ended up walking right into someone though.

"Hey watch it, Hufflepuff!" the guy snarled. Looking up, I caught the eye of a blonde hair boy. He is breath-taking.

"Sorry, won't happen again." I mumbled as I felt my cheeks heat up. Taking my eyes off of him, I sat in my spot at the front of class. Where have I seen him before? Biting on my lip, I tried to think of where I had seen him, but nothing came to mind. He can't be new but then why haven't I see him around besides today. Then I suddenly remembered during lunch, that he was sitting next to Lindsay. I would have to ask Lindsay about it, because those two seemed pretty close. Maybe he had just been missing school until today. I looked behind me and saw that he was talking to other Slytherin boys in his grade. He looked at me and had a confused expression on his face. I turned around before he could accuse me of staring. I didn't look back after that. Half way during class, the class room doors opened. Every turned around to see who interrupted class. Matthew walked in and looked at me right away before turning his eyes to Umbridge.

"Madam, Amelia is requested to go to the Hospital wing right away. Snowflake woke up." Matthew said with a small smile. I jumped out of my seat.

"Miss Morgan, sit back down. You can go see your friend after class ends." Umbridge barked. I shook my head no.

"No, you can't do this! My friend-" but I am cut off before I can finish.

"Your friend can wait. You have more important things. Now sit." She says. I turned my gaze to look back at Matthew but instead I caught the eye of the blonde hair, Slytherin boy instead. He mouthed the word go. I didn't know who he was but he was right. Gathering my books, I rush over to Matthew.

"Miss. Morgan-" Umbridge said but she stopped when someone stood up.

"Professor, her friend has been in the Hospital wing for a month. Are you really going to deny her that, even if she is a stupid Hufflepuff?" someone's voice interrupts her. I stop and turn to see who stood up for me. He turned around and nodded to me. Why was he stand up for me? I didn't even know him. I would have to thank him later. I turned back to Matthew and he noticed that he didn't look happy. I rushed over to him and gave him a hug. I turned around to Umbridge and her expression was written all over her face; furious. Her face was red and her hands were wrapped tightly around her wand. Matthew led me out of the classroom and closed the door behind me.

"Why was Malfoy standing up for you?" Matthew asked.

"Who? You mean that Slytherin boy?" I questioned. Matthew nodded and I asked, "Are you jealous?"

"Just be careful around him. I don't want to see you talking to him." Matthew says.

"Can I go see Snowflake now?" I asked, not wanting to agree to something I didn't want to. He nodded. He gave me a kiss on the cheek before taking my books. Not even a moment later, I rushed away from him. I couldn't just walk there I had to run.

Turning around the corner to the Hospital wing, I noticed the doors open. I rushed over to the open doors and stopped. Snowflake's brother, Louis, was sitting next to her bed. She laughed at something he said. He looked up at me and smiled. Standing up, he left me and Snowflake alone.

"Mia! Shouldn't you be in class?" Snowflake said. I couldn't say anything; I just ran up to her and hugged her.

"I was worried you would never wake up!" I said.

"You can't get rid of me that easily." Snowflake threw her head back as she laughed. I started telling her about classes from the pass month. How Matthew asked me to be his girlfriend and how he got me coffee every morning when I stayed here overnight. I didn't notice how fast the time passed, but the nurse told me that I had to go back to the common room for the night. She said I could take the day off tomorrow and help Snowflake catch up with her homework. Walking out of the Hospital wing, I caught the eyes of the blonde hair Slytherin boy. He is sitting on the bench but once he sees me, he stands up.

"How is she?" He asked.

"Snowflake? She's good. Do you know her? I haven't seen you around before." I said. He gave me a funny look and laughed.

"What are you talking about, Hufflepuff?" Draco says.

"Wait, I am confused. And why are you calling me Hufflepuff. Everyone calls me Mia." I said, "Have we met before?"

"No. We haven't." He spat. He walked away down the hall.

"Wait!" I shouted. He turned and looked at me. "Thank you in class. I don't know if I could have gone if you hadn't given me the confidence I needed to stand up and go."

"No problem. See you around." He said.

"Wait, what's your name at least?" I said before he turned back around.

"You'll find out soon enough, Hufflepuff." He said as he walked away. I let him go this time, even though I didn't want to see him walk away.
