Adelaide woke up and found herself laying on a bed in the infirmary. She moved to get up, but stopped when she felt a hand on top of her right. She looked over and saw a head full of white-blonde hair, lying on the bed.

"Draco?" she whispered, but he didn't move. "Oh! Thank Merlin you finally woke up," Madam Pomfrey exclaimed in relief. "How did I get here?" Adelaide questioned as she looked around at her surroundings. "Mr. Malfoy carried you here in a hurry, saying that he found you unconscious, laying on the ground," Madam Pomfrey replied, when she looked at the girl staring at the boy. "He's been visiting you for the past three days, refusing to leave your side," she added.

"Past three days?" Adelaide asked confused. "Yes dear," Madam Pomfrey said, "You haven't woken up for three days and we were getting worried since we couldn't figure out what was wrong with you!" Adelaide looked over at Draco guilty. It was her fault that Draco passed out due to exhaustion.

"Are you feeling alright?" Madam Pomfrey asked Adelaide. Adelaide nodded, "I'm feeling quite alright, just a little tired, that's all." Madam Pomfrey laughed, "You're tired, yet you slept for the past three days." Adelaide gave her a small smile and Madam Pomfrey walked away.

"Draco," Adelaide whispered again, but he wouldn't wake up. She sighed and turned to her side towards him. She noticed that Draco's arm was alright again. She soon fell asleep after staring at him for awhile.

"Adelaide," Adelaide heard a voice calling her. "Wake up Adelaide please," it sounded like a boy's voice. Adelaide opened her eyes and found Draco and his group surrounding her. "Finally she's awake!" Blaise exclaimed and flashed her a grin. Adelaide slowly sat up from the bed and saw that Draco was no longer holding her hand, but was standing up between Parkinson and Penelope.

"Hey," she weakly smiled at Blaise. "We've been bloody worried about you!" Blaise said as he hugged Adelaide. Adelaide hugged back. "One of us has been more worried than others," he whispered in her ear before he pulled away.

Adelaide looked at Blaise's smirking face confused. Blaise pointed over at Draco with his eyes. Adelaide then came to a realization that Blaise said Draco was more worried than the rest of them.

"You're all good to go dear," Madam Pomfrey said as she glances over, while cleaning up a bed across from her. Adelaide nodded and carefully got up. Blaise quickly went to her side and helped her before Draco could make a move. Draco glared at Blaise, who was smirking at him.

"I think I can walk on my own," Adelaide told Blaise and he let her go. "What time is it?" Adelaide asked once they made it to the hall. "Dinner," Blaise said. "You know, Draco hadn't been eating much lately," Blaise added. Adelaide frowned and glanced at Draco, before looking at Blaise. "What do you mean?" she asked.

"Draco hasn't been attending dinner at all, and won't eat much during lunch and breakfast, these past three days," Blaise said, ignoring Draco's glare on him. "It's all because of you mudblood, that Draco hadn't been taking care of himself," Parkinson spat.

"Draco is this all true?" Adelaide asked softly, as she stopped and looked down at the floor. "Is what true?" Draco said, pretending not knowing what she was talking about. "Is it true that you haven't been taking care of yourself because you've been worried about me?" "Of course not, I just haven't had an appetite lately," he grumbled.

Blaise laughed, "Sure, whatever you say." Adelaide knew he was avoiding the truth. She smiled to herself and laughed. "Alright," was all she said as they all headed to the Great Hall for dinner.
