Tom woke up 2 days later in the hospital wing. His eyesight was very blurry when he opened his eyes. "Oh Mr.Riddle! You are up. I can properly give you the healing potion now" the nurse said running over to her cabinet. He looked at the window and seen it was dark.

He looked over to the other beds which were empty. There was a girl laying in the one beside him. It took Tom a minute to realize who it was. "She would not leave your side. Open up" the nurse said and Tom obliged.

"How long has she been here for" Tom said with his throat sore. It felt like he hadn't talked in 9 years. "Since she brought you here which was about 2 days ago. Ms.Dubois was in distress so I finally convinced her to let me give her a sleeping potion" the nurse said laying Tom down. He wouldn't take his eyes off the girl who was sleeping so soundly next to him.

"I advise you get some sleep. What ever attacked you that night left you in a horrible state. You're very lucky Ms.Dubois found you." She said feeling his forehead as he laid down fully on the bed.

"I am very thankful to have had her find me." Tom said and the nurse smiled at him. "Get some rest. I will tell Ms.Dubois that you have awoken in the morning"

Tom nodded and felt his eyes getting lower and lower. He couldn't help but to look at the girl again besides him, feeling this overwhelming feeling. The feeling burned throughout his tired body and the last image he thought of before he fell asleep was her slytherin eyes.

"Ms.Dubois I assure you when he wakes up you will be the first one to know. You should go to your dormitory and rest in your bed as there are classes tomorrow."

"You cannot make me leave. I will not leave until he does and that is final." Tom her Marcelline say and couldn't help but chuckle a little. Both the nurse and Marcelline eyes shot towards him. "Always so stubborn" he said looking at Marcelline.

"I will leave you two be" she smiled at them and left the hospital wing. "I don't remember much of what happened." Tom said.

"You started screaming in pain. I finished the spell for you and took you here. I knew it was only an amount of time until they found her body which they did the next morning. I remember you telling me about the big Gryffindor who had held an Acromantula. I advised Professor Dumbledore to look into it and explained how that same night I had came across you like this. They believed me and the Giant was expelled and I believe his wand was snapped." She said and Tom chuckled.

"Who knew you were such a good liar" Tom said. Marcelline smiled at him.

"Sit right here" Tom said scooting over in the bed to let her sit. She hesitantly sat down next to him scared to hurt his fragile body.

"I am in great debt to you Marcelline. You have helped me more than anyone else has. I am forever thankful" he whispered. She felt his finger trail up and down on her arm and she got the chills.

She met his eyes and the same feeling in her stomach awakened. He was staring at her and she was staring at him. He had never seen someone so elegantly beautiful in his life. He pulled her down to his face.

"You're mine now, Princess" he said and the her stomach erupted in butterflies and he stroked her soft dark hair.

What has she gotten herself into?
