Even though it was subliminal, she could swear her dreams were filled with technicolor cartoon animals. It seemed like they were snorting coke though, everything she subliminally thought in her dream was rainbow acid vomit. What seemed to be hours later, she woke up with a sharp pain in her face.
Her shoulder and leg both ached too, but the bone regrowth was mainly done for them. It seemed to be in mid-grow in her face though, and she winced a bit.
However, something caught her interest like a butterfly into a net. Hadn't she fallen asleep on a bed and not upright? What? She opened her eyes to see what was Acer's neck right next to her face. She backed off and bit and got off him so lightly the only thing he would've noticed is that his human blanket was gone. Grifyth sat down on the bed casually, in case Madam Pomfrey was to be up soon.
She looked at the sunlight filtering in through the windows of the hospital wing and squinted. The light didn't feel good on her swollen face.

Acer blinked open his eyes, yawning. He stretched, then noticed that Grifyth was no longer lying on him. Glancing to the bed, he grinned casually. Assuming the morphine had effectively muddled her thoughts, he arched his brows in an expecting sort of manner.
"Morning, Gryfith. How'd you sleep?" He continued on, not bothering to pause or let her get a word in. "I slept pretty well. You make a good blanket." Acer chuckled, meeting her eyes. They were confused, and not as drugged up as last night, with her pupils not dilated anymore.

Grifyth cocked her head sideways, "Blanket? I was sitting on you for how long? And what the bloody hell happened last night?" Her eyes were narrowed, and she looked over at him with utter confusion.
She wondered to herself why her lips were slightly swollen, when she hadn't busted her lip at all if she remembered correctly. The pain in her face was slowly subsiding, and she felt her nose gingerly. The skin was swollen and puffy, and felt kind of bruised. She winced under her own light touch, and snarled slightly when she touched the bridge of her nose.

Acerbis successfully managed to avoid her questions, but still hinted at what had happened last night. "You're lips are very soft, you know." He smirked, continuing on. "And that morphine is pretty interesting. That stuff messes with your mind. Actually, did you know that when someone is in a drunken state, or a one similar, that when you ramble on most of he things you say are the truth?" He arched his brows, smiling slightly.

Grifyth narrowed her eyes at him, "If your going to answer me then spit it the fuck out!" She snarled at him.
Her fist came down to smack the bed and make it jolt, "I'm pretty sure I know what the fuck you're implying Mr. Fucking Subtle. You know, thanks for staying the night with me, but you could've just knocked me the fuck out and put me back in fucking bed!" Contorting the sheets in her hand, she could've swear she had the strange urge to go make out with him, and rip his throat out at the same time.

"Hey, cool down turbo." He chuckled at how pissed off she was becoming. Acer stood up, stretching out and yawning. Running a hand through his hair, he smiled slightly, trying to be a bit nice, even though she was death staring at him.
"See ya, sweetheart. " He winked at her, then loped out of here, attempting to get out of there before she murdered him with a blunt object. Acer didn't bother changing his clothes, and instead showed up to breakfast scruffy looking. Glancing around, he sat down at an empty portion of the Gryffindor table.
He swiped some food, chewing slowly and taking his time to look around. His eyes rested on the Slytherin table, looking at that Draconkid with amusement. He really was a bitch, the way he acted. Acer snorted with laughter, turning his attention back to his food.

Allegra glanced around the Great Hall, and her eyes caught on Acer. He was watching Draco with amusement on his face. She glanced over at Draco,
"-and BOOM! He was flat on the ground, broomstick and all!" Draco boasted. I giggled at bit at his story. He enjoyed torturing the younger Slytherin Chasers, because they were scared of him.
"Dray, he didn't get hurt did he?" I asked .Draco shook his head.
"no. He just twisted his wrist a little bit. He'll be fine before the game tomorrow." Being a 7th year, Draco was captain of the Quidditch team. I nodded, before turning back to my French Toast.
I saw my brother at the Ravenclaw table, and Cho Chang was hanging off his every word. I giggled as Andrew rolled his eyes at the girl, and wemt back to talking to his friends. My sister was sitting next to a 3rd year, and they wewre laughing. But quickly, the girl got up after the morning post. She looked visibly upset.
I shook it off, and got up from the table. Drco's grey eyes flashed up at me.
"Not hungry Ally?" I shook my head, grabbing my uniform jacket from off my chair. It had the Slytherin crest on it, and was simple, but elegent.
"Not really Dray. I have to go finish some homework for Binns. I don't want to fail my NEWT." I stalked off, tossing my blonde hair over my shoulder.
I noticed a few of the younger Slytherins watching me. They all knew who I was. Allegra Aquadira, Slytherin Princess, and servent of the Dark Lord. Of course, they were all a little afraid of me, but intrigued at the same time. I still managed to get all my work done, in between being woken up nightly by my arm burning.
I ran down to the dungeons, where the Slytherin common room was. "pureblood." I said to the statue in front of the common room. It nodded and the wall swung forward. The common room was dimly lit, and had an eerie green light to it. I sat down, and pulled out my History of Magic essay. i grabbed my quill and started writing. A fdew minutes later, I felt someone sit next to me. I propped my feet up on Draco's lap.
"Allegra, what happened at breakfast? You stormed out of there pretty fast. Although I would too if I had to stay in the same room as Potter and Weasel and that Mudblood Granger for more than 5 minutes." I looked up at him.
"I just wasn't hungry. And Pansy was annoying me." I stated. in reality, my arm had started hurting. But not the one with the Dark Mark. The one with the veela village marks. Draco took my essay from me.
"Allegra. Was it the Mark?" I shook my head, holding my other arm out. Draco gently rolled up my sleeve. "Ally....the swirls on your arm are...red." I gasped sitting up straight. Draco was right. that could only mean one thing. My mom was dead.
"I-I have to go." I said bolting out of the common room. I ran into Luna Lovegood, a fellow Ravenclaw. "Luna! Is my brother in your common room?"
"hmmm. I think he is. Tell Rowena you want your brother, and you will be let in.' She said dreamily, drifting off towards the library. I ran to the common room.
"Rowena. I need my brother. Andrew Aquadira." Her statue nodded, and a door appeared. I ran inside. I saw my little sister crying on a couch. "Saphira!" I shouted. She looked up, her brown eyes rimmed with tears.
"Allegra!" She cried. She ran at me, crying. "Momma's DEAD!" She cried, her voice shaking. I nodded and held her close.'
"I know Saph. I know."

Grifyth stormed around the hospital wing, messing up her bed but not the others, as not to piss off Madam Pomfrey. She wrote a small note out and placed it on the witch's door, stating: "Sorry I left without your consent. I need to get to class for a special assignment and my nose feels normal. Thank you for your help, Grifyth."
Her really didn't feel fine, she lied. She also lied when she said there was a special assignment. However, she couldn't stand another moment in the hospital with without blowing it all up.
For the first two hours or so she skipped, and then decided to go to class. Once they were through the third hour, there was one after, but it was getting late and she didn't feel like it. For all the the teachers knew, she was still in the hospital wing. She decided to go explore the forest, and blow off some steam. Casting an invisibility charm on her self, she stored her wand in her pocket of her coat, and set off down the hall. When she got to the hall, she effortlessly slipped out through the huge brass doors.
Grifyth walked down the stone steps, across the lawn beside the lake, and to the edge of the forest. The dense, dark forest ahead was like home to her. She came out here every time her emotions flared up, and took it out on the trees. She didn't understand why everyone else was so scared of it. It was a rather lovely place, it was just the first kilometer in that was dense and clearing free. Taking a step in, she decided to not hike that far, to not stray too far on a night in which there was a full moon.
Once she had hiked a nice way in, she latched onto a tree and climbed up it. The sun was going down, and she sat peacefully slumped in the higher branches. All of her stresses were melting away with the setting sun, burning up in the fiery orange sky over the lake she could see from here.
There was a sudden commotion below her. Two men in masks were arguing, appearing to have just apparated right outside of the castle grounds. They had on dark black cloaks. Shit, they were death eaters. Grifyth ducked in the branches and must have made some sort of rustling. Both obviously were paranoid, as they immediately jumped around and shouted "STUPEFY" at the top of their lungs. She plummeted to the ground, her invisibility charm easily disturbed, wore off.
The men seemed to be disgusted with her presence, they new she was a Hogwarts student by her robes. She muttered out, "I didn't hear anything, leave me alone."
They both immediately shouted an unforgivable curse, she saw it fly towards her in a red spark, and felt herself crumple into the ground, screaming. It was a curse she had dealt with from her parents, years ago. The cruciartus curse. She screamed and writhed in agony, feeling like it was the end.

Andrew sudden;ly felt a sharp apin in his arm, and heard a girl's scream. "Grifyth." He whispered. He threw a glance at his sisters. Allegra nodded at him telling him to go. She would take care of Saphira.
Andrew threw open the front doors, and ran into the forest. Come one, come one, where is she? He thought. He heard her screams, and his adreniline kick in.
He saw Murdoch and Sathiar standing over Grifyth, who was writing in pain. "She's just a kid, Murdoch." He said. The taller Death Eater turned around.
"Andrew Aquadira. How nice of you to join us. Just a kid eh?" He kicked her hand away. "Last time I checked, you were too."
Andrew shook his head. "Leave her alone, Murdoch. She's just a girl!" He took out his wand. it was holly and unicorn hair, 10 3/4 inches. Murdoch smirked.
"Why? Is she your girlfriend? She's a Ravenclaw eh?" Andrew's hand shook. HIs blue eyes hardened.
"Get. The. Hell. Away. From. Grifyth." With each word, he took a step towards Murdoch. His wand started shooting little sparks out of the tip. Murdoch glanced down at Grifyth, before turning on the spot and disappearing. Sathiar lloked at Andrew beofre speaking.
"Heard 'bout Athena." Andrew stiffened. That was his mother's name. "Sorry for your loss." He too, turned and disappeared. Andrew ran over to Grifyth, and checked for her pulse. She was still alive. He sighed. Now how to get her back to school?

When the pain stop, she collapsed into the ground, barely breathing. Her muscles seized up, and she shivered violently. She looked over at who had saved her, and saw his brown hair. Feeling like she recognized him, and he had Ravenclaw robes on, she squinted her eyes, "Andrew?" She said in such a raspy small voice that it was kind of sad.

"Grifyth!" Andrew said, his bliue eyes wide. "Are you okay? I saw Murdoch-" He cut off, forgetting that she wasn't part of the Dark Lord's circle. She wouldn't have any idea what he was talking about. "ummm so how are you feeling?"

She sat up, some of her strength returning to her, "Well what do you think? That was only an unforgivable curse and all." She fell back onto her back because it hurt to sit up. The pain in her muscles was like she had been overworking herself for days, which made sense with all the stress. She was obvioulsy well enough to be make snarky comments.
Grifyth sat up again and winced, standing up and trying to walk this out. Eh, the pain would take a while to go away, she knew that. At least it hadn't had been as bad as the time when her parents had done it to her... She for some reason remembered that being a lot worse, "Now come on, let's get out of here." She wasn't going to even ask why he knew one of the death eater's names.

"There's no way you can walk after that." Andrew said. Grifyth tried to deny it.'
"I can walk! I'm fine!" She collasped again. Andrew rolled his eyes and picked her up. She didn't weigh that much. "I suggest you put me down, hero boy." She hissed into his ear. He winced.
"Can you please stop screeching in my ear? I would like to still be able to hear." He said calmly, walking towards that castle. She pounded on his back, still cursing at him. "Geez for a teenage girl who just almost DIED, you sure are strong." He said. They were almost to the castle, but she was making it hard to walk. "Grifyth! Calm down! We're almost there, and if you keep screaming and pounding on my back I'm going to leave you out here in the dark." He snapped, his blue eyes flashing with anger. Her eyes flashed as if she liked the sound of that idea.

Acer finished his fourth period class, then decided to ditch fifth hour. He hated that class, anyway. High tailing it out of there, he quickly rushed into the crowds moving classes, and instead headed towards the front of the school, feeling the sudden urge to leave again. Acer whistled with content, thinking about last night, how drugged out Grifyth was and the activities that had ensued. He grinned, but that grinned transformed into a sort of amused looking face as he spotted a kid, with a resigned sort of Grifyth slung over his back.
"Heh, classy." His mouth was a thin line of anger, because he suddenly recognized the kid carrying her, Andrew Aquadira, a 7th year Ravenclaw and Allegra's twin brother. Acer intercepted them, stepping out and into Andrew's way. His eyes were guarded, but still had a air of nonchalance to them, however a disappointed frown was plastered on his face.
Acer changed his features quickly into a snarky look. Why was Andrew carrying Grifyth, of all people? And of course, it had to be Grifyth, the one person he felt moderately protective over at this god forsaken school. "Hey, Andy." He said, feeling ready to fight. It was just one of /those/ crazy days.

Andrew's eyes narrowed. This was the kid who had beat up his sister's best friend. "Don't call me that. Only people I can tolerate are allowed to have nicknames for me. And you," He gave Acer a pointed look, "Are not one of those people."
