Something was wrong. Kyoya could tell as soon as he opened his eyes.

It was quiet, even if he had only been asleep for an hour or so, there should have been noise, because harry had been up when he'd fallen asleep. He stood, walking into the living room where everyone sat, looking worried and somber.

"What?"

"We can't get to Malfoy Manor this morning, maybe not even today." Draco whispered, Staring guilty at the Map of the Manor.

"Why?" Kyoya thought his knees would give out, Thinking about Maria there, and himself unable to protect her.

"Because about a hundred death eaters and supporters are there today." Draco said. "Every year Lucius throws a party. This years no different, except he has a bigger guest list."

Hermione grabbed his hand.

"Then we wait," Kyoya said, even though his stomach flipped flopped, "If we can't get to her safely, or get her out safely, we wait until we have an actual chance."

The air was tense and Luna sprung up and hugged Kyoya.

"I'm so glad she has you." She whispered, hugging him tightly like a mother would her son, even if he was a few inches taller then her.

"Thank you." Kyoya said, as she let go. He sat down on the couch, leaning back, eyes drooping once again.

"Get some sleep." Harry said, "We all need it."

********Maria.*****

The noise from upstairs barley reached Maria, But she'd rather none at all reached her.

She wanted to sleep. She crawled back into the corner with the blankets, laid down on the ground but stared at the wall.

*****Maria POV***

I traced the chips and cracks in the floor and wall, biting my lip to distract myself from the pain in my leg.

It was a dull throbbing now, and my head was throbbing to. I wanted to see Harry, Ron and Hermione. I wanted to laugh with Luna.

I wanted to mutter something about how idiotic Tamaki was, just loud enough for Haruhi to hear and laugh with her even though we both know she loves him and I know he loves her back. I wanted to plan pranks with Fred, George, Hikaru and Kaoru. I wanted to hold Teddy and watch him change his hair color. I wanted To watch Remus and Sirius play with Teddy, and hear him laugh. I wanted to eat cake with Hunni and Watch Mori be squished between Luna and Hunni but not mind.

I wanted Kyoya to hold me, and never let go again.

I could smell the food cooking, and I closed my eyes.

I wished that I would wake up and it would all have been some messed up dream I wasn't supposed to be having.

I began to cry, my resolve failing me.

No one here would see me cry now though, I simply wouldn't allow myself. If they wanted to break me for useless plans, let them try, It will keep them busy.

A sudden thought struck me. Had that man from the plane proposed yet? Had she said yes if he did? Did she jump with joy or cry out of happiness?I wanted to know, for no particular reason, I needed to know.

I stopped counting hours some time ago, I have no idea how long I lie awake, just that when I finally succumbed to sleep, the manor had been long silent, and the event long over.

******With kyoya, Narrator pov*****

Kyoya paced the living room. Luna's eyes followed him. Kyoya sat down suddenly, his eyes focused on the ground.

He looked sickly pale, weaker.

"Harry, Hermione, can I have your help in the kitchen a moment?" Luna asked, standing.

The two nodded and followed her into the kitchen.

"Harry, Maria Has strong Veela blood in her, doesn't she?"

Harry nodded. And Hermione seemed to recognize the problem. "They're mates!, oh, I feel horrible now."

It took harry a bit but then his eyes widened. "He's getting a sort of separation sickness, From with drawl from his mate without notice or consent?"

"Exactly, and Maria is probably feeling the same thing. I have a feeling they share dreams like you do sometimes, but involuntarily, that's probably the only thing keeping them from being bed ridden and sickly."

"So, what do we do about it?" Harry asked, pulling out some glasses to make tea.

"We Make sure he rests, and eats. It's just about all we can do." Hermione said.

They stared at each other.

When they emerged, they were holding a tray of tea, and some snacks.

Hardly anyone touched them.

Kyoya shivered, and Luna glanced at Hermione, Summoning a blanket and placing it over his shoulders.

"We'll get there faster if we take this right, another right, a left, go straight past two turns, the turn left and we'll be at the stairs." Draco said, pointing to the map. The others nodded, unquestioning. Draco seemed to stare off into space for a moment then stood.

"I need air." He said, his face lost in deep thought.

Hermione stood and followed him out.

"Draco?"

"I'm not sure if I can go back there...I don't think I can face it." He whispered. And Hermione hugged him.

"It'll be okay, I promise." She whispered back. "You are strong enough." She said.

And he nodded. "Your right. I'll do this..For Maria." He said.

Hermione smiled. "I'll help you." She whispered.

********************later.***

"You need to eat." Harry set the food in front of Kyoya, but he just stared at it.

"Hypocrite." He said, And Harry flushed red because it was true, he hadn't been eating.

"Please? Please eat? Just a bite?" Harry said, he felt as though he was coaxing a small stubborn child to eat his vegetables before dessert.

Kyoya picked up the smallest piece of food he could find and ate it. Harry scowled as he pushed the plate away, but said "Fine." He left the plate there, so that if He did decide to eat something he could.

Mason was sitting across from Kyoya, his own plate of food Hardly touched.

"We'll have her back in no time." Mason said, pushing his food around. "I remember Tia's wedding and how heartbroken she looked, how sad and defeated and vulnerable she seemed. After she met you though, Her letters were happier than I ever seen them, I was so excited I just knew she had to have met someone amazing."

Kyoya wasn't sure why Mason was telling him this. Hadn't he heard this before?

He took a drink of his water. His hands were shaky, and he couldn't seem to stop them.

"Thank you." Kyoya whispered.

"I think it's I who should be thanking you," Said Mason, as he stood from his chair and grabbed his plate. He walked toward the kitchen door, then stopped and turned.

"She's no ordinary girl. She helped a lot of people, more than she'll admit. She's Brave, strong, beautiful, amazing. But she's also just a girl. Even if she has helped hundreds and hundreds of people, including almost everyone in this house, she can be hurt. She was slipping into the darkness." He paused.

"You are her light, and you saved her life."

He continued walking, opening the door and letting it swing slowly shut behind him.
