It doesn't take long for Ginny to get what I asked for. The snack consisted of a few pieces of chocolate and some pumpkin juice. She stays and talks with me about trivial things, every once in a while she would ask me about my childhood or talk about Harry.

"Ginny can you stay with him while I go and change?"

"Yeah, sure." She sounds tired; I can only guess what damage control she's happing to do with the other students. I sigh and stand up from my chair and head towards the door, I turn around and look at Harry one last time then leave.

I almost trip over some of the presents that are out there. Most of its just candy and handmade cards, nothing really extraordinary. There's a bathroom just a little ways from the infirmary, but it's a walk I really don't want to take, I just know someone will see me and then come and ask me a lot of questions about how Harry is doing, if he'll be able to fight again, and other stupid questions similar to that. "This is going to be a long day and most likely night."

"It doesn't have to be." I jump when I hear someone talk. 'I could have sworn that I was alone when I walked out here.'

"Longbottom, what do you want?" I ask as I turn around.

"I was just coming to see if he was awake yet."

"Why? Afraid that he won't be able to save your ass when the time comes?" He almost looked offended, almost.

"N-no, I  r-really just wanted to s-see if he w-was alright." I see that he has something in his hands.

"Just leave your gift with the other and I'll make sure that he gets it." I say as I turn around and start walking towards the bathroom.

"This isn't for him, its f-for you." That makes me stop and turn back around.

"What?" I know I sound angrier than I should.

"I g-got it for you. I-It's lavender oil. I th-thought you could use it tonight." I, in honestly, don't  know what to say. Just a few says ago he didn't even want to talk to me and now he wants to help me.

"And why do you want to help me? Last time I checked you hated me."

"I-I do hate you, and I will for a long time. B-but I know that Harry cares for you, a-and I kn-know that he'll want to know that y-you've been taking c-care of yourself." I really don't know what to say to this either.

"Thank you." We stand there looking at each other for a few seconds before he comes over to me.

"You're welcome." He says as he hands me a little jar. "Can you tell me what's going on. Nobody seems to know anything. And a lot of people still think he's dead."

"Can we walk and talk Longbottom? I need to change so I can get back in there with him."

"Sure." It only takes a minute to get to the bathroom. "I've heard everyone say something different about Harry's heath at the moment." Longbottom pauses as if he's thinking about what to say next. " I know Ron and Hermione had to be wrong when they said that he was dead."

"Good for you." I reply as I walk into one of the stalls. "I figured there had to be at least a few people with common sense."

"I-I'm trying to g-get along wi-with you."

"So? You already said that you hated me. And I think it's obvious that I don't like you." I say I start to change my clothes.

"I know, but didn't H-harry tell us t-to try and get along." I stop in the middle of putting my pants on. 'I really hope I heard him wrong.' I finish putting my pants on the go out so I can see him.

"Did you just bring Harry in to this?" I know I shouldn't be getting angry about such a comment, but for some reason I can't help it.

"I-I was j-just tr-trying to make a p-point."

"And what point would that be?"

"That Harry w-would want us to g-get along." I roll my eyes.

"I'm going to say this once. Never bring him in to a conversation, and never tell me what he said again. Got it?" In truth I really just don't want to think about what Harry's told me to do in the past. He and I both know that I don't want to be friends with most of his friends, and I've told him that on many occasions. But he still tries to get me to see them his way. Even though it's the wrong view to have of these people, proven by how they are acting right now. "Now what do you want to know? And try not to stutter, it gets annoying." He nods again.

"Is he awake?"

"No but he should be waking up soon, if he wakes up at all."

"Why would he not wake up?" He asks as I finish dressing.

"Because he was practically dead when I brought him in."

"Oh. How come you're keeping people away from him?"

"Because I don't want people coming in and causing problems." I go over and look at myself in the mirror. 'Wow I look horrible.' "Look how about you let me get back in there and I'll let you know if anything changes, alright?"

"That would be nice." I fake a smile; throw my dirty clothes in my bag and leave.

When I get back to Harry's side I tell Ginny to go talk to Longbottom. Then I sit down and begin to think about that summer that I spent living next door to Harry.


To say that I feel out of place sitting in the same compartment as the golden trio on the train leaving Hogwarts would be an understatement. I don't look at them, instead I just watch out the window. After a few minute I sigh and stretch. "Alright Malfoy what are you doing in here?"

"What does it look like Weasley? I'm riding a train back home for e the summer. What are you doing?" I smirk when he frowns.

"I think what Ronald meant to ask is why are you sitting with us?" Granger asks.
Before I can answer Potter steps in. "Because he has to. I can't really talk about it right now, you guys are just going to have to trust me for now, alright?"

"Harry do you realize who you're sitting next to?" Weasley asks.

"Yeah, Draco Malfoy. Now do you realize that he hasn't said anything to us since we left the station?" They both look dumb struck. He sighs. "We've reached a truce, sort of."

"You all realize that I'm still here right?" They all look at me, Potter looks sorry, Granger looks like she's trying to figure me out, and Weasley looks like he's ready to kill me. I smirk again. " Weasley you can glare at me all you want, but it's not going to make me go away." I watch as his face turns red from anger.

"You don't belong here, and you need to leave now." He is trying to be intimidating, but it's not working.

"No I don't think I will," I like toying with him.

"I wasn't asking," He growls.

"And you think I care because?" No one says anything. "Now that that's out of the way I think I'm going to go back to staring out of the window." I turn back to the window and had just got comfortable when I hear Weasley say something.

"He's probably plotting some way to take Harry to You-Know-Who. He's just like his dad." That pissed me off.

"Who do you think you are," I turn back to face him, "to judge me like that? Have you not noticed the way the rest of my house mates are treating me?" I'm almost yelling at him.
"So, could just be a trick." I roll my eyes. 'There is no point in getting angry over his stupidity.'

"For all these months? I'll make this as simple as possible. I don't want to be a part of whatever my father and the rest of Slytherin house is planning.  They don't want me so I don't want them." Harry is smiling, Granger looks shocked, and Weasley looks unconvinced.

"Weasley, how about you just leave me alone for the rest of the trip?" Weasley looks like he wants to say something, but Granger shushes him. I turn back to me window and just stare out of it for the rest of the trip.
Yay! Another chapter, took me long enough. Lol.

Truthfully I couldn't find the energy to write, I had a lot going on in my life. So I came to the conclusion that I needed to work out my own problems before I tried to write again. So I'm sorry if you've been waiting for me to continue this story, I'm going to try and get more chapters out :).
