Chapter 4:
Class....
          
           "AHHH!" Lilian woke Draco screaming. It took her a moment to realize that it was Draco at her side, looking at her with worry.

            "Lilian. Lilian what's wrong?" Draco asked, he was holding her shoulders and she started to panic, "Lilian it's only me, breath." He whispered.

Lilian closed her eyes and breathed slowly falling back asleep, only to be woken up, what seemed like, a second later.

           "We need to get to breakfast Lilian." Draco said softly, shaking her shoulder, she was too tired to flinch away from his touch, however she nodded and removed the thick comforter keeping her warm and sat up dangling her feet over the bed as they barely touched the ground.

           Lilian and Draco walk to breakfast and another first year who had introduced herself as Pansy at the feast the night before, sits by them. Well a boy, Blaise, sat across from the three. Blaise started a conversation and Lilian just nodded along as they discussed their lives.  

           "What about you Harry?" Blaise asked suddenly.

            "What?" Lilian asked.

            "What does your family do for fun?" He clarified, not affected by her lack of attention towards their conversation.

             "Oh, uh," Lilian thought and decided after a moment that she would never reveal to much about herself she would be a closed book, no one would know anything about her, and sooner or later ignore her completely.

              "Don't know Zabini, we didn't do much." Draco raised an eyebrow at Lilian, impressed at her guarded answer and struck up a new topic, trying his best to ignore her empty plate.

                 The owls began to fly into the hall and drop schedules off to the students.

                 Lilian's was dropped in front of her and she frowned, she couldn't read a word on it.

                 "Looks like we have Transfigurations together, after breakfast." Draco said looking over her shoulder. Lilian nodded mutely, she wasn't sure how she'd be able to get through the day like this but kept her mouth shut.

            "We should get to class Harry." Draco said once he was done eating. Lilian nodded. "Why didn't you eat anything?" He asked her as they walked the halls.

              "Do you want me vomiting in class?" She asked quietly. Draco's mouth formed a comprehensive 'O'.

             "Why do we only have four classes?" Lilian asked to change the conversation.

              The Wizarding World is a lot simpler than the muggle," Draco answers. Lilian raised an eyebrow, I highly doubt that.

              "What the bloody hell is wrong with you?" Lilian turned to to see to fourth year Slytherin cornering a second year Hufflepuff.

                "Draco what are their names?" Lilian whispered pointing at the other Slytherin.

                "Tom Hasten, and James Kroph." He answered.

                "OI, HASTEN KROPH!" Lilian called, Draco looked at her like she was mad as she walked over to them.

                "What do ya want Potter?" James asked.

                "Aren't you going to be late for class? Ana said if you were absent again it was detention with Filch."

                They both seemed to pale before running off. As soon as they were gone the Hufflepuff looked at 'Harry' nodded and ran off.
