Falling in love with the devil

Chapter 3- Getting back on the right track.

Rebecca could barely open her eyes.As she did so,she tried and looked around,finding herself in the nursery room of the school.By her side,she could make out the face of Albus Dumbledore,looking on the window.Slowly,but steady,she stood up on her elbows,and then leaned her back on the wall,looking at the other.

"Professor..What happened..And why am  in the nursery?" She asked,obviously confused.A strong headache would hit her everytime she tried to remember what happened before,but nothing.Dumbledore didn't answer her quite immediatly.Instead,he turned at her,and sat down on a chair,looking at her,serious.

"You saved Draco from a Dementor.."He started,but was soon cut by her impatience.

"But that doesn't explain why I have such headaches."

"I haven't finished.You also survived a Dementor's Kiss."He finished,and looked at her reaction.

"W-wha..Is that even possible?"She asked,and blinked a couple of times,still puzzled.

"It is.But it's very rarely heard of such cases.You were lucky that it happened during classes,and we were able to act fast,with Hagrid's help."He explained,and stood up."I would like you to rest this week,and  not do any complicated spells..I will talk with your teachers."He explained,and headed to the large door.

Outside the nursery,Draco was trying to convince one of the nurses to go inside.

"But I want to see her!She saved me!"He tried to explain,angry.

"No need to become angry,mister Malfoy.You can see her now."Dumbledore told him,as he walkedout."I will ask you to take care of her this week.Make an effort,at least."He said,and vanished.

Draco didn't even wait for the nurse to lead him.It wasn't too hard to find her bed,since she was the only one,in over 50 beds in the whole room.

"Rebecca!"He exclaimed when he saw her.She was lost in her thoughts,looking in a cup of tea.She soon raised her head,hearing his voice,and smiled.

"I'm glad to see you're alright,Draco."She replied,and set the cup of tea aside.

He settled himself down,near her,on the chair Dumbledore used earlier.

"I'm...sorry for what happened to you.I should have stayed inside."He apologised,and started to fiddle his fingers,not daring to look her in the eyes."And...I guess I kind of lost the bet.."He continued.

It was odd to see Draco like that,especially for Rebecca,who saw him mocking ecerybody.With a smile,she added.

"Let's just say the bet is available until the year end,or until you win.Deal?"She asked,and held her hand,to shake his.

Draco raised his head,with one of his teasing smiles,and shook her hand.

"Deal."

The next day.

Rebecca was slowly trying to get dressed.She was having slight pains in the torso area,but Dumbledore comforted her they will go away soon.Finally, putting her robe over her dress shirt and skirt,she took her wand and her books,and headed out,in the common hall of the Slytherins.Surprisingly,Draco was waiting her,with a smile on his lips,as he was looking into the burning green fire.Of course,he was with his gang.Pansy and Milicent never liked her.Obvisouly,since they both had a crush on Draco,and now,with what happened,they hated you even more.Crabbe was pretty much indifferent about her,Gregory and Blaise kind of had a crush on her,and Pike,well,he was rarely paying any attention to her unless she was talking with him.

She swiftly tilted her head,with a mocking smile towards Pansy and Milicent,while you stopped near Draco.

"You kow you didn't have to wait for me. I can handle myself."She explained.As Draco opened his mouth to say something,he was interrupted rudely by Pansy.
