Description
Luna walked into the hospital wing, she had been informed by Professor Snape that Draco was more than likely not going to make it through, his condition kept getting worse.

Now his body was rejecting his blood since he had so much Silver inside his bloodstream.

She looked around the hospital wing and saw no one was in the room, besides the lone figure on one of the beds. She hesitated but walked over to Draco, she wanted to cry, he looked so miserable and helpless, she didn't like seeing him like this. She pulled up a chair and sat next to his bed.

His limp hand lay by his side covered in bruises and blood.

She smiled softly as she thought of his reaction to her new haircut, that is if he would wake up for her. She had gone out and got her haircut so now it was only down to her shoulders instead of down to her waist, she had it cut in layers so it looked rather raggedy but still nice.

She slowly reached out and placed a hand over Draco's and he opened his eyes to look at her tear stained face, Luna smiled weakly however he looked away from her feeling ashamed of what he had done to himself and that now the consequences were that he might not ever see her smile again, or hear her stories about her wacky little creatures.

"I-I'm...*cough*...sorry Luna..." he rasped out.

Luna gave another sad smile as more tears streamed down her face, she held his hand for a while before she grabbed his chin and turned his head so he'd look at her.

"I love you Draco..." She whispered softly as she grabbed the wash cloth that was on a stand beside the bed and put it in the water before wiping off the blood around his mouth.

Draco eyed her, he was still on a numbing potion that would help with pain but it also made him sleepy. Draco looked at her tear stained face for a wile then at her hair and he coughed slightly.

"H-Hair..." he wheezed out and broke out into another coughing fit.

Luna nodded and gave a friendly smile as more tears came from her eyes, she was scared, he was scaring her to see him like this scared her, even though he couldn't help it.

She gave a little whimper before answering him. "Yeah, I cut it...I cut it just like you suggested, that way when you get better...I'll look better for you."

Draco shook his head and raised as shaking hand up to touch her face. "You were and are fine just the way you are. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. I'm sorry I did this, I'm sorry I'm putting you through this. You won't have to deal with it much longer tho-"

"DON'T TALK LIKE THAT!" She cried loudly.

Draco looked stunned and then he smiled weakly. "You're so strong, you don't give up...you're stubborn. And I like that...Love you..." he said quietly before he passed out once again.

Luna stared at him for a long while before resting her head on Draco's chest not caring that she got some of his blood in her light colored hair, she cried softly mixing her salty tears with his blood. The door to the hospital wing opened and Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and Ron who was holding his arm walked into the room.

Luna knew someone had walked in but she didn't turn around to see, she just remained where she was and finely found out who was there when someone spoke.

"Don't worry Ron, it'll be fine. I'm sure its not broken, Madame Pomfrey can surely fix th-"

Hermione paused when she saw Luna sitting beside Malfoy with her head on his chest, Ron, Harry, and Ginny all followed her gaze and Harry got a sad look on his face and walked over to her and laid a hand on her forearm. "Luna. Are you okay?"

"Hello Harry...have the Umgubular Slashkilters been leaving you alone lately?" She asked as she lifted her head from Draco's chest, some of the strands of her long blond hair had darkened with Crimson from Draco's blood so it was in her hair.

She had said this in a voice that proved that she was trying to hide the sadness in her voice.

Harry looked at Hermione nervously who mouthed the words 'Play along' silently.

"Oh, yeah Luna. They've been staying away. I've been keeping them away by putting lemon juice by the common room door." Harry said quickly trying to think of a story.

Luna smiled softly and looked up at him, her silver eyes were still sparkling with tears. "I've never heard of someone using that technique to keep them away, I should try it sometime."

Then she turned her gaze back to Draco's limp form the blood surrounding is mouth as he had been constantly been coughing and spitting up blood whenever he had been awake.

"Luna? Did you cut your hair?" Hermione asked her.

"I cut it for Draco...for when he gets better..." She said with determination they all could tell wasn't really there.

"How...Draco, is he okay?" Harry cringed upon saying Malfoy's name, but he felt he should at least show some respect towards Luna if she was close to him in such ways.

Luna hung her head and a few tears dripped onto her lap. "I-I'm frightened Harry...I don't want to loose him like I did my father, I can't loose him...I've never felt this way about anyone, I love him...but he's given up...he won't listen, even to me. I don't know what's wrong...but he's scaring me...he just doesn't see that I love him for who he is. How...How am I supposed to make him see that."

Harry kneeled down and hugged her and she put a gentle hand on one of his arm that was around her shoulders she allowed him to hold her while she cried.

"Oh Harry, I don't know what to do anymore." She said quietly after she finely started to settle.

Suddenly Snape and Dumbledore walked into the hospital wing and Snape glared at all of them.

"Everyone get out. I have business to take care of! NOW GET OUT!!!" He said harshly.

They all nodded and quickly left without a word of protest.

Dumbledore and Snape walked over to Draco who was lying in bed unconscious and Snape pulled out a blood red colored potion.

"Hopefully this will work." he muttered.

"You do realize Severus, that if this potion has a fifty percent chance of helping Draco and the other a fifty percent of killing him and it will kill him in a most painful way from the inside." Dumbledore said in a quiet yet wise sounding voice.

"I know headmaster...but its the only option left." Snape said and uncorked the vial and carefully pried Draco's bruised jaws open and poured the potion inside his mouth helping him swallow by muttering a spell.
