There was a shift since the curse of Katie Bell. I knew he had something to do with it. I wasn't stupid. I heard the whispers, I saw the looks. I knew it was him.

As the days went on, he looked paler and less human. As if he was morphing into a shell of himself. I had to get to the bottom of this. I loved the boy. I would love him until my lungs gave out and as much as I wanted to move on, I had to know.

We had just finished potions and as my strides got closer to Draco, my fingers got ahold of his bony arm. I slightly gasped. Draco has always been thin but it felt as if there were only bones, not even blood.

He whipped around, looking on guard. This caught me by surprise. He has felt my touch so many times, I figured he'd know. But this wasn't Draco anymore.

"Draco, please talk to me," my voice almost a whisper. He looked like fragile stone, I could knock him over and he would break.

"There's nothing to say Zella," he yanked his arm from my grasp and took off. I sighed. It was useless. He wanted nothing to do with me. But I couldn't stop

I caught up and grabbed his forearm. He winces.

"Draco... why are you in pain," I questioned and his eyes went from cold to worried. Before he could interject, I lift his sleeve.

And there it was.
