~ Timeskip four hours ~

I woke up and groaned. I sat up in the hospital wing. I looked around to see that there wasn't anybody in there.

"No, you need to go back to your sleeping quarters!" I heard a nurse say.

The doors opened and Draco walked in.

"What.....happened?" I groaned.

Draco and the nurse rushed to me. Draco quickly pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back.

"Don't you ever do that again." Draco said.

"What happened?" I asked.

Draco pulled out of the hug.

"I don't know, all I know is that you weren't in pain and was going to leave but then you started falling and blacked out." Draco answered.

I nodded. I swung my legs over the edge and rubbed my eyes.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Lunch time. Now that you're awake students will be aloud out." Draco answered.

I nodded and stood up slowly. I walked to the door with Draco and we walked to the great hall. When we walked in, most of the students were glaring at me. I stumbled slightly but Draco caught me and helped me walk to our spot. I sat inbetween Pansy and Draco again.

"Thanks for finally showing up, Benton." Someone rudely said.

"You wanna give me attitude? Go on, see how it ends at this point. I'm tired and have been to hell and back, so I'm pissed." I replied.

Students still glared at me.

"Alright, now that Benton has arrived we may start. But first, I would like to thank Hagrid for getting the cure Benton needed in time." Dumbledore said. "Now, please don't be too harsh on Miss Benton, she did afterall endure alot of pain before blacking out."

I sighed. Their not going to listen...... I thought to myself.

"Dirty mud-blood." I heard someone mumble.

I stood up and slammed my hands on the table.

"The hell did you just say about me?" I yelled.

The boy stood up and slammed his hands on the table and looked directly at me.

"I called you a dirty mud-blood, Benton. You got a problem with that?!" The guy yelled.

I grabbed my knife and threw it at him, it just missed him.

"Say that again and I won't miss." I growled.

I sat down and so did the boy. The food appeared but I didn't feel like eating.

"Eat something." Draco said.

I shook my head.

"I don't want to." I said.

"You have to. You've just been in pain and passed out for four hours." Draco replied.

"I'm not hungry Draco." I said.

I heard the boy from earlier grumble. I snapped my head towards him.

"You got a problem?" I snapped.

"Yeah, I do. With you." He replied.

I slightly glanced at Gryffindor and saw Harry was giving me a warning look. I took a few deep breaths and calmed down. I looked back at my plate and felt like I was going to throw up. I quickly got up and rushed to the closest girls bathroom. I ran into a stall and locked the door. I spun around and threw up into the toilet. I sat up and felt a pain in the right side of my torso. I lifted up my shirt and the mark was back.

"Dammit..." I mumbled.

I felt like vomiting again and quickly put my head over the bowl and threw up. Once I was sure I was done I flushed the toilet and walked out of the stall. I walked up to the sink and washed my mouth. I dried my face and started walking back to the great hall. My shoulder started hurting about half way back.

"Not again." I said.

I made it back to the great hall taking deep breaths. By the time I got to the door up to my right elbow was in pain and I couldn't open the doors. I pushed it with all my might on my left side as I held to top half of my right arm with my left hand. I managed to get the door open and walked back to my seat. The pain started to get worse again. I bit my tongue and shook my head.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked.

I looked over at the Gryffindor table and saw Hermione looking at me. I gave her a pleading look and watched as she quickly rushed up to Dumbledore. I watched as Hermione said something to Dumbledore and he quickly got up and speed walked over to me.

"Malfoy, help Benton and follow me." Dumbledore ordered.

Draco helped me up and touched the top half of my right arm and I hissed in pain. Draco quickly moved his hand and we followed Dumbledore to the hospital wing and he slammed the door open. Hagrid was in there.

"Hagrid, it didn't work." Dumbledore said.

I bit my tongue harder to try and stop the pain. My mouth started filling with a thick liquid that tasted metallic. My tongues bleeding...... I thought to myself. I stopped biting my tongue but my mouth still filled up with blood. I tapped Draco's shoulder and he turned his head to me. I pointed to my mouth.

"Uh, nurse, I think she needs to throw up." Draco said.

The nurse rushed over with a bucket and I spat all the blood out of my mouth. Draco had a disgusted look.

"I bit my tongue a little too hard trying to hold back the pain" I said and spat out more blood.

I pulled my right sleeve up because I felt the pain started to form on my wrist. I saw that the mark had traveled all the way to my wrist, my leg up to my ankle was hurting too, and of course the right side of my torso was hurting too. The nurse sighed.

"There's nothing we can do about it except keep her in here until the process is complete." The nurse said.

"Malfoy, Dumbledore, can we go outside and talk?" Hagrid asked.

Draco sat me on a bed and I laid down in it.

✓• Draco's P.O.V •✓

I helped An to a bed and she got in it. Dumbledore, Hagrid, and I walked out the door.

"Dumbledore sir, you do remember the last time we saw that mark spread so fast, don't you?" Hagrid said.

"What?" I asked.

"Yes, Hagrid, I do." Dumbledore said.

"Do you think she's a.........?" Hagrid asked.

"No I don't think she's a maple heir. But their is a chance that she's the maple heir." Dumbledore answered

"A maple heir, isn't that an heir to the maple trees outside?" I asked.

"Yes, she may be their next caretaker." Dumbledore answered.
