"Come on Becky." Tonks said, carrying her trunk inside the door to 12 Grimmual Place. Becky stood in silent watch, still wondering about the building since she had never been there before. She then followed her aunt inside, trying not to stare at anything as she went by. "You can stay in the guest room." She climbed the stairs and opened the door to the closest room. Dust covered every surface, and spider webs were in each corner.

"Kreacher!" Harry yelled from downstairs, then a couple of crashing dishes. Becky cringed and watched as Tonks waved her wand around to clean the room.

Thanks Nym." Becky said smiling, then hugged Tonks. Tonks hugged back tightly then left the room and walked downstairs. Becky smiled and followed her, seeing a house elf standing next to Harry.

"I instructed Kreacher to do anything you say but he won't listen to Malfoy." Harry said, and Kreacher mumbled something angrily. Becky nodded and smiled.

"Thanks Harry." She said happily. "But where's Draco?" He pointed to the way of the kitchen. She nodded again.

"You know how to contact me and this place is protected. Be safe." Tonks said, like she was Becky's mother.

"I'll be fine." Becky said, then hugged her again.

"You'll be fine." Harry said, then Becky hugged him too. She waved goodbye as they walked off down the street, then shut the door.

"Kreacher." She called. The house elf walked over angrily and looked up at her. "Please clean this place up." He mumbled and walked away. She looked down the hall where Draco lay, most likely still unconscious. She heard a moan from the way she was looking, maybe not. Becky ran to the room and knelt down beside Draco, who opened his eyes and looked around. "Draco!" She hugged him tightly.

"Becky?" He asked, his voice raspy. She nodded happily then sat back down.

"You passed out after we disapperated, and I made plans to bring you here." Becky said, her voice full of joy. "Your safe." She smiled, she was back to the Becky that made people feel safe, made people happy. Draco looked into the changed eyes of the girl he had saved, and couldn't help the feeling that came over him. He did still love her.

"Thank you." He sighed, then laid his head back down. Becky looked at the peaceful look on his face, her savior. She felt something strange churning in the pit of her stomach. She stood up, surprised by the feelings she was having towards him and ran off, afraid of what she might do. Draco sat up quickly when she ran off, confused on what happened. He saw a change of clothes on the coffee table next to him, a muscle shirt and a pair of black jeans. He stood, taking off his heavy robe and laying down on the couch. He unbuttoned his trousers and then slid them off, putting on the next jeans. He took off his shirt and laid it next to the rest of his discarded clothes. Becky walked back down the hall to get something from the kitchen, when she saw Draco was changing. Half her mind told her back away and give him some privacy, but the other half made her stay put in the secret spot she was hidden in. His toned upper body was like that of a god, and she felt weird watching. But she couldn't stop until he put the shirt on and she seemed to snap out of a trance. She shook her head and entered the room, not daring to look at him and opening the fridge.

"Kreacher." She called, staring at the empty fridge. The elf came walking towards her. "Can you go get some groceries?" She asked politely. Kreacher walked off talking to himself in an angry tone. She stood there staring at the fridge even though it was empty.

Draco looked at her quizzically then said, "There's nothing there." She didn't know how to reply, how would Hermione reply? Hermione would be mean and says she knows everything to him.

"I know that." She spat, rushing out of the room and up the stairs. She went into her room and shut the door behind her. Draco stood there confused to her sudden change of attitude. Maybe she doesn't want to be my friend anymore, he thought. He sat back down and laid his head back, hoping to get some sleep.

Becky pulled out the wand she had taken from Draco and looked it over. It looked well enough. "Avifors." She whispered, pointing at the book on the table. It turned into a bird. She took out a piece of paper and a quill, deciding to write a letter to Hermione.

Hermione,

I'm stuck here without a wand, good thing I stole Draco's. I have a feeling things are going to get pretty boring here. I really wish you guys where here, tell everyone I said hi! And ask if anyone will come see me. I know I sound pathetic already but I don't know how long I can be trapped here.

Becky Harring

She tied it to the birds foot and said, "Go find Hermione." Then waved it out the window. She sat down and curled her knees to her chest, resting her head on them. How long am I going to be stuck here, she asked herself. "Avis." She said happily, and birds came out of her wand and started flying around the room. She laughed at herself, then made a pattern with the wand for them to follow. Then she stopped them, finding something else funny to do. "Ebublio!" She chanted, then the birds started inflating, until they exploded into thousands of bubbles. She yelped and laughed, warding off the bubbles coming at her.

"Becky?" Came a call from the bottom of the stairs. "Are you alright?"

"I'm better than alright!" She laughed, stepping out of the room and looking down the stairs. Draco was looking at her amused, then starting to laugh himself when he saw some bubbles flying out of the room she was just in.

"What are you doing?" He asked, laughing and pointing to the bubbles flying everywhere now. She turned around and covered her mouth while still laughing uncontrollably.

She pulled out his wand and chanted, "Scourgify!" The bubbles disappeared, and she laughed again. "You can still have fun!" She said happily, then looked back down at him. Then she got a hilarious idea. She pointed the wand at him and called "Wingardium Leviosa!" He lifted up into the air and kicked like a little girl.

"Becky!" He yelled, while she laughed her head off. "Put me down!"

"No!" She cried laughing. Just as she yelled that, Kreacher walked in the door. His eyes widened, then he groaned.

"Crazy woman with her insane friend." He mumbled as he walked by. I giggled and let Draco down. He stood and gave Becky an evil glare before heading back to his couch. Becky followed him and spied a book sitting on the ground. "Ebublio." She whispered at it, and as it started to expand she scurried out of the room.

"Hey!" She heard Draco yell, then laughed up the stairs. Maybe it wasn't going to be so boring here after all, she thought happily, then shut the door to her room. Not bad at all.
