~Victoria~

I woke up in a bed, a familiar one to be exact. Yet a not so familiar girl walking towards me.

"You're up." The smooth soft but raspy voice shook me quite a bit.

"Yeah? Who are you?" I questioned as she walked towards me, sitting on the edge of my bed, dave's towards me.

"Victoria." She said strikingly.

"But my real names Victoria Mai Armani, so you can call me whatever."

I sat up slowly feeling a hint of pain in my lower abdomen, "You know who I am?" I asked her.

"Who doesn't, Nova Cyprus. You're the talk of the town."

A shocked look plastered onto my face. Why.

"You've been gone for so long, missing school."

"I- I have?" My mind was so empty, I could've sworn I was just in potions yesterday. I couldn't remember anything, at the moment, except for my classes and the material.

"Come on, i'm gonna run you a bath if that's okay." Victoria went into the bathroom, I heard the water turn on and I sat up slowly. Some pain in my head floating around, I was so dizzy.

I fell to the floor over how dizzy and woozy i felt, she rushed over to me, reaching her hand out and helping me up slowly. Her touch was very soothing, I know we'd be good friends.

"You okay? You just kinda, lost your balance." She spoke in a super soft tone, the warmth of her voice slowly calmed me down, the dots in my vision slowly going away.

"Yeah, yeah," I paused. "I'm not super sure why, but i'm just not feeling so hot."

"Well that's okay, i'll help you into the shower if you're okay with that." Her hand was on my back as she guided me to the bathroom.

Once we got in, she turned me slowly with her hand. "Hands up." My arms slowly shook as I raised them to the ceiling, my body felt so weak.

Her delicate hands traced the hem of my shirt before pulling it up slowly. I was standing in my bra, and shorts. "I'll close my eyes for this part." Her hands went to the clasp of my bra.

"That's okay, I don't mind." For some reason, I felt comfortable with her within two minutes.

She unclipped my bra, smoothly pulling the straps off arms.

"You can do this part, if you can't just let me know."

I reached my hands to my shorts as she turned around facing the door.

I struggled with my shorts, so I called her back over. Hoping she'd be willing to help once again.

She successfully removed everything before closing her eyes and opening the curtain for me to hop in, she raised out her hand for guidance and I grasped it lightly, stepping foot into the showers.

She headed for the door, and once she turned the knob. I let a few words out shakily.

"Hey Victoria," She kept her hand on the knob, never  turning back around to face me. "Thank you." I said shakily.

"Anytime, let me know if you need anything. I'll just be studying in my bed."

"Oh okay."

I winced as the soap in my hand lathered my body, too sore to reach down to my legs. I popped one leg against the wall, slipping.

A loud bang came and echoed throughout the room, a following short scream echoing out my mouth, bouncing against the bathroom walls.

I heard feet pattering, well actually a loud stomping. Coming to the bathroom.

"Nova!" Victoria winced, she pulled back the curtain, closing her eyes before screaming out a name I wasn't familiar with.

"Draco!" She screamed as loud as possible, soon enough, I heard the door to my room open, then saw a tall blonde man enter the bathroom.

He turned off the water, then scooped me in his hands, carrying me to my bed.

"Who are you." I whispered lowly.

"Malfoy. Draco Malfoy." His stiff face focused on mine as he set me down on my bed gently.

"Oh, i'm N-"

"Nova, Cyprus," I held a confused look on my face, very confused how he knew who I was. "I know who you are."

"But how." I questioned him. He looked over to Victoria, who was shaking her head.

He spoke a language I was too hurt to understand. A few words translated into my mind though.

"devrais-tu lui dire ou devrais-je" {should you tell her or should I} He spoke softly, keeping his gaze on Victoria.

"il est trop tôt pour qu'elle le sache" {Its too early for her to know.

"Tell me what." I sat up, covering myself with my blanket. What is it, and how do you two know eachother, and why is this Drake, Dracov, Draco dude standing in my room helping me out the shower.

"Our parents went to Hogwarts together, and because you and I used to be friends." The Draco boy shot his eyes towards mine. Wow, his eyes were really pretty.

"No we weren't." I snapped back. He had no right barging in here claiming we were supposedly 'friends'.

He sighed, deeply. Then looked at Victoria once again.

"Well, you two were more than friends." Her soft voice pierced through me like a dagger, what was she trying to say.

"Very funny." The room went silent after that, just the three of us giving very awkward stares.

"Oh." I said after the realization hit me.

"So you, Draco, knew me?"

He replied with a nod.

We sat there for about a minute in silence before I got up. "Well if you don't mind me, i'm gonna get ready for potions." I quickly dragged the blanket over me forgetting I was naked.

"Um, Nova, it's a Sunday." Victoria walked to my dresser, pulling out shorts a shirt and some undergarments.

"Oh, thank you." I replied as she handed me my clothes. Her and Draco walked out the room a second, to let me change.

I heard some whispers from outside.

"So, she really doesn't know." Victoria's voice slid under the door, into the room.

"She was obliviated." The Draco boys voice filled my ears.

"Then make her remember."

"How."

"That's up to you Draco, she was your girlfriend, not mine."
