So she did a regular check-up for Y/n, and she saw that she had healed completely. Even though she had to stay here and rest. The door of the infirmary opened and Dumbledore walked in. "Morning Poppy." - he said as she put her finger to her lips. 

"Shhh. They are sleeping." - she whispered and smiled, tilting her head towards Y/n's bed. "Ah, I see." - Dumbledore whispered. He liked the sight.

Severus seemed pretty protective of his student, which he found to be quite remarkable. However, Severus soon woke up from his nap on Y/n's bed. "Morning Severus." - Dumbledore said. And Severus raised his head. "Morning Headmaster." - he said as he slowly got up.

"I see you've had done a great job protecting your student." - Dumbledore pointed out the fact that I fell asleep with my head on the edge of her bed. She simply looked so weak and frail last night. I couldn't exactly leave her alone and have that man return.

"Yes, but Dumbledore, I'd like to speak to you about her accident. I believe it wasn't a suicide attempt." - Dumbledore nodded at my words. "I agree with you, Severus, but we have no proof that it wasn't." - I then proceeded to show him the handprints on Y/n's neck. Dumbledore was fascinated, as those weren't as visible as the rope marks.

The two of them left, while Madam Pomfrey stayed to watch over Y/n. She didn't wake up, not yet at least. And soon the news spread and finally got to Delilah. "What?!" - she shouted at Draco. "You're saying my sister tried to commit suicide?!" - I broke down and my eyes watered. "This better not be one of your pranks, Malfoy!!"

"I swear on my father's name that it isn't! I heard it from Snape himself!" - he pleaded for me to believe him. I just ran past him and rushed to the hospital wing. Once I got there, I saw Madam Pomfrey. "Madam Pomfrey!" - I called out to her. She put her hands on mine and began to calm me down. "It's alright dear. Your sister is fine and fully healed. She only needs rest."

I felt relief flow through my body as I heard my baby sister is alive. I was so afraid, I thought I would finally lose her. "What happened to her, Madam Pomfrey?" - I asked as I walked with her.

"Someone tried to make it seem like a suicide, but Professor Snape thinks someone tried to kill her." - hearing those words made me worried. If someone was after us, that meant that we weren't safe anymore.

"Do you think she will be ok Madam Pomfrey?" - I asked, I was still very worried about my sister's well-being. "Delilah, dear, your sister will be fine. And besides, Professor Snape will be watching over her while we're all sleeping. He himself said he'd be by her side." - she smiled at me. 

I knew she was trying to keep me calm and rest assured that Snape would protect her. "Alright, I will trust you on that one." I smiled. "Now Delilah, go eat your dinner, it won't be there for much longer and I don't want you to go hungry." - she said, and I nodded, leaving her with Y/n as I left. 

I saw Severus walking toward the infirmary, I guessed he would start his guard shift a little early tonight. But then again, I hoped he and Y/n would maybe be together, so this was a perfect opportunity for her. When she wakes up that is. 

I finally reached the Great Hall and walked in, head high and proud, like the L/n I am. I sat down at my house table and I felt cold glares on my back. It was the people from other houses, but I couldn't give a damn what they were staring at me for.

"So, do you believe me now?" - the little Malfoy boy asked me. "I do. But lucky you, she isn't dead. Otherwise, I'd shoot the messenger." - I growled at him, and he nodded. "Fair enough." - he continued eating, his two friends were eating like pigs. 

I wasn't exactly surprised, but I guess kids never learn how to grow up. "Anyway, I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me." - Draco asked me. I couldn't help but laugh, I saw him go mad at my reaction, but I then snapped out of it.

"You first kiss and make out with my baby sister, and now you want to date me?" - I took a doughnut and left the Great Hall angry at him. 'How much more rudeness do I have to go through to find the man that I will marry?!' 

I thought. I remember when Y/n and I were small we'd always talk about marrying rich and famous wizards. She always wanted to marry Lucius Malfoy. And I was more of a Remus Lupin fan, I always liked werewolves, and he was one, maybe that was all I wanted. 

But I shook my head as I closed the Great Hall door. I then apparated to my dorm. To see my notes all over the floor, ripped and burned. In the fireplace I had in the room, the coal was all over the place.

I truly hoped that Y/n didn't go through such bullying. Even though it wouldn't surprise me. Now I was left with nothing to study from, and all my friends from other houses, probably wouldn't want to give me a copy of their notes. I saw my books were still intact, so I began reading them. I had to make up for the notes lost.

I was sitting on the chair next to her bed. She was sleeping, but it seemed as if she was in a nightmare. I couldn't help but think of the way she annoyed me yesterday. But she was in a coma today. I wanted to say it was 'Karma' but she didn't deserve to be punished so severely for her actions.

I looked over at her wrists, those wrists looked so weak, I saw a couple of cuts and what seemed like cigarette burns. 'Is she cutting herself?' I questioned. Maybe she truly did try to commit suicide. But what logic would that make? She has a sister that loves her, she has a father, she has amazing grades, and she's the best witch in her year.

Why waste her accomplishments? I gently took her hand in mine. She didn't wake up. She was probably still too weak, but I felt her grip tighten around my right hand.
