-A/n: I don't know where this is going, I feel I'm to loyal to Draco at this point to let things go any further with Harry...let me know what you think!

The next day she woke up it was almost night again, that's how much she had slept without waking up, not even for a sip of water. Her body felt rested again, but her mouth was dry. Draco had his eyes opened, he watched her as she blinked and squeezed hers trying to gain her awake focus.

"Hey birdie" he said in a low voice, "I thought you'd never wake up"

Madison smiled, the sound of his voice made her fill up with happiness.

"Hey lovely...how are you feeling?"

"I've been better...you?"

She sat up on the bed, stretching her arms up, feeling her back bones crack back to place, her lungs taking in a full breath of air. The young witch got down her bed then paced to Draco's side.

"Can you sit up? Walk?" She asked grabbing both of his hands, already pulling him up slightly.

"Yea, I think I'm fine"

"I'll ask Madame Pomfrey if you're good to go to your room..."

She turned on her heel, leaving his sight. Draco sat up, dangling his feet off the bed, moving his neck from side to side to check if everything was ok.

When they were walking out of the hospital wing with arms locked they saw Harry coming their way, Madison got nervous but didn't show it because the boy with the scar didn't even look at her as he approached them.

"Malfoy" he started, finally looking at Madison with a side eye, "Rowle...I'd like to apologize for what I did" he looked back at Draco, however his face said everything but sorry. Draco didn't seem bothered to Madison's surprise.

"I would've done the same if I saw what you saw..." her blond friend replied, "but I would've used an unforgivable curse"

Harry narrowed his eyes, "Yeah, that's where we're different...in any case, I'm sorry" Harry said firmly, looking into Draco's eyes then, to Madison, turning his back on them, going back the way he came.

They stared walking to the dungeons, to the Slytherin's dormitories, Madison was silent, she stared a countdown in her head, of how many days she had to prepare mentally for her encounter with the Dark Lord, she felt nervous and scared.

"I see the way he looks at you...even when he tried to fake it, I see how bad he wants you" Draco broke the silence as they arrived at the door.

"Pure blood" he spoke to the stone snake that revealed the hidden door to the commons.

"He doesn't..." she lied, entering with him, still with locked arms.

They opened the door to his room finally, the young witch could tell he was playing strong the whole way he was out and about in public in the halls, however, as soon as they closed the door he slouched, catching his breath.

"I need a bath, a warm long bath...Thank you for bringing me all the way here" he said taking his cloak off, placing it on the wooden chest at the footboard of his bed.

"Oh I'm not leaving yet, I'm staying...if that's ok with you...and Amanda"

Draco went pale, like she said something really bad, or he had a blood pressure drop. He swallowed a lump in his throat. She quickly got to him, helping him sit.

"What happened?" She asked sweetly.

Draco just shook his head, "We're not together..."

"I'll get your bath ready, ok? Then if you want you can tell me what happened with you and Avery"
