Dittany

Last night when I got back to my room I bandaged myself as best as I could and went to bed. Pansy was asleep when I got there so I had no idea who could have been with..... Doesn't matter, I'm not involving myself.

Now I am in the bathroom re-wrapping since I was a little tossy turny in my sleep and my bandaging from last night got loosened.

Pansy knocked on the door. "Hurry up."

I sighed. "Could you help me?"

"With what?" Pansy groaned, I unlocked the door and opened it, Pansy looked at my arm full of gaze. "What is that?"

"I had detention with Umbridge last night." I handed her the wrap. "Can you just bandage me arm."

Pansy raised a brow. "You think I'm going to help you?"

I raised a brow. "Should I ask Draco?" She huffed and took the wrap, I smiled. "Thanks." I moved my arm to her. "Not to tight or to lose. Just snug enough to hold the padding on."

"I know how to do it." She started to wrap my wrist area. "Why is it on your arm? And this big?"

I shrugged. "I guess it is the arm so it can hold all the words to the 68th Educational Decree." Pansy's eyes widened slightly. "Yea... The whole speech to no clubs is carved into my arm."

"You should just tell her where to find the club." She finished wrapping my arm.

"I don't know what you are talking about." I finished securing it.

Pansy rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I need the bathroom."

I stood up. "I'm done." Pansy walked in, I walked out and she shut the door. (At least she helped.)

I pulled my uniform sleeve over my arm, grabbed my wand and books before heading out of the room. It wasn't to crowded in the common room since I woke up a little early, the hallways were more crowded with the early risers.

When I got to the Great Hall I took a seat at the usual place for Harry, Ron, and Mione and waited. Some other students were here already eating their early breakfast, I chose to be tormented by the food and wait to eat.

I watched the door after a while saw Cedric walk through with his group of friends, he looked at me, I gave a thumbs up, he nodded and walked to his table with his group.

I caved in and got a muffin from the tray and slowly picked off pieces to eat.I saw Draco walk to the Slytherin table.(He's an early riser?)

He avoided eye contact until he sat down and we had to face each other. I gave a wave, he gave a small one back and I turned my gaze to my plate then back to the doorway.

My friends finally arrived minutes later and Mione came to my side of the table with a smile. "Morning, Liv." She sat down.

"Hey." I smiled at Mione then turned as Ron and Harry sat across from us. "Good morning." They smiled as they started to plate food.

"Liv?" I looked at Mione, she eyed my hand. "I thought you went to Umbridges last night."

Harry and Ron looked up at me. "I did. The words appeared somewhere else."

"Where?" Mione asked, I sighed and pulled my sleeve up slightly to show them, Miones eyes widened. "Liv." She grabbed my sleeve and pulled it down the rest of the way. "Oh, my god."

I pulled my sleeve back up. "Stop." I whisper yelled. "I'm fine. It's cleaned and wrapped. I'm fine."

"No, your not." Mione scolded. "Liv, it's up to your elbow."

"What did she have you write?" Harry asked after he cleared his mouth with water.

"The whole 68th Educational Decree." I shrugged, theirs eyes widened. "I'm fine, just a couple words."

"How many times did she make you write them?" Harry scowled.

(Why is he always angry?)"Harry, calm down. I'm fine." Harry huffed and continued eating. "Did you two finish your assignment on Gillyweed?"

Ron's eyes widened, Miones mouth gasped. "Ronald."

"I'm working on it." Mione looked at Harry, Harry smiled shyly, Mione sighed. "How are you two even passing?"

I smiled. "They have us to pester them about their work." Harry and Ron slightly roll their eyes, I smirked and ate a piece of peach spread covered toast. "It really shouldn't be hard for you Harry, you had personal experience with Gillyweed."

"Yea, I just have to reword it and write it down." He grumbled, I rolled my eyes.

----------Over the day my left arm was retired from carrying my books or anything else that might agitate or hurt it even more then it was. It wasn't painful but it's... you know, it's a bunch of cuts along my arm.

Once dinner was done and curfew was in effect I left my room and headed to the common room where all the students were socializing since the castle was closed for the night, except for Prefects, Professors, and Mr. Filch who still wonders the halls looking for victims.

Draco was standing outside the Slytherin common room when I got out there, leaning back on a wall with his hands in his pockets.

"Ready?" I asked as he looked up at me from his shiny rich snob shoes.

"Sure." He leaned off the wall. "Did you want to take the upper or lower?"

I shrugged. "Whichever you don't want." Draco raised a brow. "Fine. I'll take the upper."

He nodded. "Alright." I nodded and started towards the stairs. "Solace." Draco caught me with his voice before I disappeared, I stopped and turns to him. "Meet me in my room when you are done." He walked down the hall before I can ask why.

(Why does he want to meet in his room? I don't want to go there.) My brows un-furrowed themselves and I started to walk up the stairs to the main level.

There is two different routes for Slytherin Prefects.One is the lower levels which is the bottom floor of the castle, that is where you would probably only find Slytherins if you caught anyone.

Then the second is the upper level, that involves the main floor around the Slytherin stairs to the dungeon.

I rather the upper level once it is lighter and less stuffy then the dungeon, plus the students up here would most likely be students outside of Slytherin, I'll be more lenient then Draco would.

I didn't find anyone out and about on my rounds except Mrs. Norris, thankfully Filch wasn't near so I was safe. It's not that I would get in trouble since I am a Prefect but I think I did something and now he hates me, I don't remember but when he looks at me I can see his hatred in his eyes.

But when the Prefect patrol hours were over I walked back down the steps and towards the-

"Miss Solace." I looked over to Snape who was standing in his doorway.

"Shouldn't you be in bed young man?" I put my hands on my hips. "I'm going to have to turn you over to the Head of Slytherin." I smiled.

Snape rolled his eyes. "Come here." He walked in his room, I walked over and into his office. "Show me your arm."

"Why? How do you even know?" Snape raised a brow, I gave him a bored expression and pulled up my sleeve. "I already treated it. I'm fine, it's nothing to me and you know that."

Snape gently grabbed my arm and started to unwrap it. "If you are truly fine you would have used two arms while brewing today in class." He put the wrap on the table and carefully lifted the gaze, he sighed. "Must you anger her so?"

"It's not my fault she's sadistic." Snape put the gaze back down and grabbed the wrap. "I'm going to re-bandage it when I get back to my room."

Snape handed me the wrap. "Stay here." Snape walked away. (Alright...)Snape went to his back room and came back with a small box. "You are lucky I am in charge of your health." Snape lifted the lid of the box.

My eyes widened. "You have Dittany?"

"I'm sure you know Dittany is a powerful healing herb and restorative."

"Also rare." I smiled and took it. "Thank you, Severus."

"Eat some and go to bed." Snape walked to the door and opened it.

I smiled. "Thank you. Have a good night." I walked out.

(I guess I don't need to wrap it again.)I opened the vial and took out a couple leaves then consumed them.

"Pureblood." I said and walked into the Slytherin common room.

"Solace." Draco caught the door before it closed.

"Oh, Hi." I turned to him and held up the Dittany. "Snape got me Dittany, I'm fine and I'm headed to bed."

Draco looked at my arm. "Why was the bandaging covering your whole arm?"

"Maybe to hold all the words." I shrugged. "She made me write the 68th Decree."

Draco's brows rose. "She made you write-." He huffed angrily. "Why do you... Never mind. Just. Can you try to ignore her? Or not anger her?"

"Draco, I'm fine... I can handle this."

Draco scoffed. "But you don't have to. As you said before you came to Hogwarts to have a better life."

"Well I can't exactly keep that dream now that I know who my father is." I snapped, Draco's face softened. "Can I? Hogwarts has been the best years even with the pain but with Voldemort out there and me being who I am I think my dream of having a painless life is just that, a dream."

Draco held a breath. "Just... Be careful, alright?"

I smiled. "Thank you for caring about me, Draco. You are kind.. Arrogant and self-assured, always need to be center of attention but you are a great person."

Draco gave me a bored expression. "Thanks."

I smiled. "Anytime, Pureblood."
