After spending around 30 minutes at the astronomy tower I started waking my way back to the common room, I tried my best to not get caught being outside the common room after hours but that wasn't that case.

"Miss Mikaelson, care to explain why your wondering the corridors at this hour?" I turn my head around to see Miss McGonagall staring at me.

"Uh- sorry, I-I was just taking a walk, I'm on my way ba-" I got interrupted by a small cough came from behind me.

Draco.

"She's was with me, My bad Miss McGonagall."

Did he just defend me? Surly not.

"You will both reserve detention with me on Monday lunch, now back to your dorms immediately." Miss McGonagall gave me a small sarcastic smile along with a nod before tuned around leaving the corridors.

"God, Mikaelson. Now look what you did?" Draco turned to me, the anger in his voice made my temper flare up.

"Me?!"

"Yes you!" I could feel Draco' gaze on me but I refused to look up from the floor.

"Uh-, excuse me but weren't you the one that stood up for me just then?" He took his eyes off me. "Did I ask you to help me? No." The feeling of a ball of fire filled my stomach. "Do I want your help? No." Draco just started at the floor laughing to him self.

"Done with your little temper tantrum, Mikaelson?" He removed his eyes from the floor and meet mine.

"Yes." I replied sheepishly. I had to force myself to start walking and abandon the eye contact to make my way back to the common room, Draco walked by the side of me in silence. Not a single word.

We didn't say anything to one another until we got to the slytherin common room entrance. "Pure blood" Draco whispered and the door to the common room unlocked, I didn't think we were going to say anything to each other until he turned to me and told me goodnight but I didn't reply as I was to caught up in my thoughts so I gave him a smile and a nod before turning into the the girls dormitories. 

As I walked into the dorm Pansy was sitting up on her bed staring straight forward. "What did you guys do?" She looked over to me and furrowed her eyebrows. A look of confusion spread it across my face, before I could even reply she carried on speaking again. "Malfoy." She paused. "And you?"

A small chuckle left my mouth as I thought she was joking around. "What? Me and Malfoy? No! That's ridiculous. Who the hell would want to go out with Malf-"

"Me." She interrupted while tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. I didn't know how to reposed as no one has ever been so open to me before. "Me." She repeated with a sigh. I still didn't reply. She looked at me waiting for my response, I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out.

"Uh, anyways, I'm going to bed." Pansy blew out her candle and snuggled down into her covers.

Waking up the next morning to the chilly air I slowly forced myself to get out of bed, it was already 10:30am and I already slept through breakfast and it seemed I was the only one left in the common room. I decided to take the quiet opportunity to go through my defence against the dark arts homework. After an hour of going through my notes of the homework I could feel my stomach rumbling not for food. For blood. I gathered all my notes and placed them randomly on the dresser in the dorm before making my way down to Dumbledores office.

Dumbledore has got used to me coming up to get blood bags now when I push open the door to his office he turns to me and gives a faint smile "I stocked up for you" he said while pointing over to the stored blood bags, I turn to walkover to them but he spoke again, this was unusual as before he would never speak to me once I entered his office. "Mikaelson, Miss McGonagall told me about the mishap that happened last nigh..." he let out a heavy sigh "due to you being what you are, are you sure you want to be hanging around with one of the Malfoy family." I froze.

"Me and Malfoy are nothing. Don't even think we are friends." I felt my heart dip of the thought of him, I shrugged while turning back around to the blood bags. I had 1 or 2 pints of blood before restricting myself to go for another. "Thank you." I gave Dumbledore another smile before exiting his office.

Just as I was about to shut the door I heard him faintly shout "don't get into trouble Lilith. There is no way out of it if anyone finds out." My first thought was yes there is, compulsion. But that's the last thing I wanted to use as I want everything to be somewhat normal.

Draco POV

Returning back from my walk around the castle grounds I saw a small figure sneakily exiting Dumbledores office. I recognised that figure it was Lilith, I wanted to know what she was up to, she had only been at Hogwarts just over a week and she is already up to something I could feel it and I was determined to find out. I followed her slowly around the castle until I got bored of following her.

"Up to something?" I finally confessed.

She stopped walking and turned around slowly with a confused expression on her face. I take a step forward to close the distance of us. "Why were you in Dumbledores office?" I got straight to the point.

Lilith acted dumb as though I didn't just see her, "What?" She replied still looking 'confused'.

"I saw you, stop acting like an idiot, Mikaelson." Her face relaxed. I took another step forward her, I noticed something on her lower lip, something red. Like blood. I tried to decide whether I wanted to confront her about it to make her embarrassed in front of me or let her walk around school like an idiot.

"Why you looking at me like that?" She looked up at me raising one eyebrow.

"Nothing," I let out a small chuckle. "Looks like you cut your lip." I bit my bottom lip trying not to let out a laugh. Lilith quickly wiped her lip with her hand to remove the blood from her lip, her eyes widened as she looked at the remanning blood on her hand. I stared at her with suspicion wondering why she was acting so strange. Lilith stayed staring at the blood she quickly turned her head and cover her face with her hair. "What in the world are you doing?" I asked hoping she would confess something, instead she told me to get away from her and pasted off down the corridor. What is her problem? That's the second time she has done that now in the past week, as I saw her disappear out of sight I remember she is squeamish, another laugh fell out my mouth of the thought of her. She must be up to something though and I will find out.

There was quidditch tonight and a lot of the boys have been going on about how exited there were to play against Gryffindors for the first time this year, we were all in the boys changing rooms getting ready for practice before the big game later.

"We will win tonight, boys. As long as we stick to the plan. I will try knock Potter off his broom and catch the snitch and in the meantime you guys try and score as much as possible. Got it?" My tone sounding more threatening then demanding. The rest of the boys nodded in agreement.

When we all got onto the pitch everyone was complaining including me about how cold and windy it is.

After around 20 minutes of practice my hands felt like there were going to fall off from frostbite. I stopped my self mid air to take a breather and warm up my hands slightly so I would not slip off my broom, I started blowing warm hair onto my hands and robbing them together, I was watching over the team practice nicely until I saw Zabini's hands slipping of his broom and his legs swigging everywhere.

"Malfoy! Move!"

Before I know it Zabini crash's into me, my hands still not on the broom. I could feel a thud in my heart as a hit the ground. I squinted down at my left forearm to see nothing but blood and as it seems to look like a broken arm I could see a small part of my bone pocking through, it made me feel sick, maybe after all Lilith wasn't the only one squeamish. My arm felt like it was going to fall off. I let out a huge grunt and just stayed lying down feeling drained and like I was about to die, I could over hearing Zabini letting out cry's next to me. I could feel my eyes shut slowly, I tried my best to keep them open but I was too tired. Darkness.
