After she changed back in the same clothes she had worn on the way to Howarts, she stayed hidden and locked away in the bathroom, she never wanted to show her face to Draco again, the embarrassment was already drowning her slowly.

While she slept on the bathroom floor, Draco Malfoy, slept comfortably in their room and bed. In the morning, he woke up and went down to his kitchen for breakfast, finding no one had made him breakfast. "Where's the bloody house elves when you need them" He growled, guessing Elise was somewhere near, but she wasn't. She was upstairs, locked in a bathroom trying to get sleep, after waking up multiple times in the night to throw up.

Draco looked around for Elise, he was growing hungry, and he didn't know how to make anything but bitter-tasting Coffee. It was her job as his future wife to cook and serve him, not hide away.

"Hello!" He yelled, really annoyed, she didn't hear him, he climbed the stairs and soon remembered she was in the bathroom last he saw her. "Alohamora" and the bathroom door opened.

Elise jumped awake, heart pounding, breathing panicked. "S...sorry"

"What is that disgusting smell" He stepped back out of the bathroom.

"Sorry" She studdered again, rushing to the sink and washing her hands, hoping it would cover the throw up smell, being unsuspectful.

"Are you sick?" The words escaped Draco's mouth, as his eyes scanned the pale girl. The tip of her nose was red, but the rest of her was pale, almost paler than him, he pictured the sun kissed skin girl he saw yesterday.

"Uh, n...no" She lied drying her hands and stepping back from Draco, as far as she could.

"Hurry and get dressed, I'm hungry," She nodded, holding her breath so he couldn't smell her awful morning breath, plus the throw up smell still sour on her tongue.

And he left. She breathed out, and threw up imediatly in the toilet next to her. She didn't know why this was happening to her, why she was sick the first night living in the same house as the death eater, she was just glad she survived the night.

Once, she heard Draco's footsteps hit the hardwood of the kitchen she escaped the bathroom. She went to their room and checked behind the door she remered seeing what she thought was a dress, and she was right. Half of the closet was full of Ravenclaw robes and girl hogwarts clothes, a few fancy clothes, and some regular looking Muggle clothes. On the other half, was Draco's clothes.

Elise quickly grabbed a fresh robe, and some new clothes for classes and dressed as quickly as she could. Stepping out of the closet she saw another bathroom, attached to the room.

The bathroom was bright white, from the morning sun, and the walls, a jacuzzi and a shower were placed beautifully in the bathroom, all of the things in the bathroom matched somehow, in colour and in placement.

She found a rich brush and brushed her short brown and bleached hair,  she looked through the draws and found a curling iron as well, she hadn't curled her hair since the Yule Ball, a small smile reached her face, the first time in the last day, she wanted a fresh start to the day.

She was going to curl her hair.

"Are you done yet?" Draco came into the room, just as Elise was done brushing her teeth, her hair now curled softly.

"Yes, sorry for the wait" She bowed her head to avoid his eyes, which were studying her new look. No longer the sick pale girl with frizzy hair, but a sun kissed skin, bright white teethed girl, with carefully and softly curled hair. She wasn't the girl he thought she was. "What would you like me to do?" Her voice asked carefully.

"Breakfast would be nice" He said, swallowing now and looking at her eyes.

"Of course" Elise was more confident now. She walked past Draco and down the stairs, Draco catching a strong smell of her perfume, smelling something fruity he couldn't name, he shook his head and put his scowld back on and followed after Elise.

Downstairs, Elise already had pots and pans out on the stove, and some kind of batter in a blender. "If you want, you could help, it would make it go faster," She suggested, catching Draco's almost surprised expression.

"That is servent's work" He commented, which drained the confidence from Elise, she hung her head slightly and worked away.

Silence sliced through them, Elise working away, cutting, cooking, flipping, driseling. Draco watching, abserving.

Not too long after Draco had a full plate of food. Elise, had set it in front of him, with a fork and a knife, and little bowls of more toppings he could put on the strange looking food. "What is this?"

Elise's stomach dropped, she had worked hard on the creation. "Crepes, and fruit" She shrugged, taking a small bite from her own, plate, standing at the island, not sitting next to Draco on the island. 

"Are you trying to make me fat like you?" He said unbelievably. It was like a furious bee stings, Elise bit her lip from crying.

"S...sorry" Her voice shook. "What would you like me t..to make?"

"Forget it, I'll starve" He stood up and went upstairs.

She signed shakily, and let the tears go, sliding to her knees. How was she going to survive the year, let alone another night if the death eater was mad at her, probably planning her death at this moment. "I need to talk to McGonnagal" She said to herself, and raised herself from the floor and out herself together.
