Harry had just finished talking with Dobby and had gotten nothing new from him. He did find out that Dobby was behind the bludger and the passage closing. He was laying down in boredom, too mad to fall asleep, and too tired to walk around. He was about to fall asleep when a flurry of footsteps came.

He quickly laid down trying to look as if he was asleep. The curtains were pulled away giving him a clear view of the scene. 

McGonagall carried a still Collin laying him on a bed further away, and Professor Snape carried a limp body that didn't move. They laid him down on the bed across and then Harry saw who it was. It was Kaiyo. 

Kaiyo was bleeding from his head and his back if the blood on Snape's hand was any indication. 

"Quickly! Where is Madam Pomfrey!", Snape yelled. Harry was shocked her seemed scared for Kaiyo and almost as if he cared about him. Could you imagine Snape caring for someone?

"I'm here what happened?!", Madam Pomfrey yelled running in a hurry. 

"I believe it would be best if we take care of Mister Kurayami's condition before we discuss anything. The walls have ears", Dumbledore said. Madam Pomfrey nodded before attending to Kaiyo.

For 30 minutes she kept working on Kaiyo the sheets on the bed were dyed red with blood and after she was done Snape looked pale and relieved. 

"How is he?", Snape asked leaning over. 

"He'll be okay. He lost some blood and has a concussion, and he'll need to stay on bed rest for a week", Madam Pomfrey said tying a bandage around Kaiyo's head. 

"I see, I'll inform the rest of his teachers and have his friends give him his home and class work", Snape said. 

"Now. Can someone explain to me what happened!", Madam Pomfrey whisper yelled. 

"There was another attack. Young Kurayami here was trying to protect Young Creevey", Dumbledore explained. 

"Perhaps he managed to get a picture of his attacker", McGonagall says walking over to the frozen Creevey. They all move over to the boy's bed and pry the camera from his grasp. They open the camera only for the film to go up in flames. 

"What does this mean Albus?", McGonagall asks breathlessly. 

"It means our students are in great danger, Minerva. Mr. Creevey was fortunate. If not for this...", Dumbledore says holding up the Camera and pointing it to Kaiyo sleeping on the other bed. "And Young Kyrayami. He would surely be dead". 

They leave the Infirmary and Harry gets up from his bed and walks over to the two. He stopped over Colin's petrified body first. He hated how the boy followed him everywhere, but he never wanted this. He didn't deserve to be petrified. He walked away to Kaiyo. 

Kaiyo was laid on his back with his arms over the covers. His bangs fell over the bandages on his head. He had a disturbed expression on his face the same one he did last year after saving Harry from the Quirrell in the forest. 

He came closer standing beside the bed and grasped his hand. His expression almost immediately relaxed. Harry still grabbing his hand pulled a chair over and sat next to the boy. 

"You aren't a bad snake...", Harry whispered into the night as he fell asleep beside Kaiyo. 

==================================================

The morning came quickly. The sun rose over the horizon and the doors of the Infirmary burst open. 

"Where is he?", Pansy asked no one as she walked through looking for their white-haired friend.

"Quiet down Pansy. We don't want to wake him up", Theo said looking around for Kaiyo as well. 

Draco was walking around with a nervous expression on his face. Theo told him how Kaiyo went to the kitchens to get him something to eat since he was worried about him and never came back. Then after they all were in the Great Hall waiting for their friend to come in Professor Snape comes in and tells them he's injured and confined to the Infirmary for a week!

Draco kept looking through the curtains till he caught a glimpse of white hair. 

"I found him! He's over... here...", He said training off. There on the side of his bed was the boy he hated, Harry freaking Potter. What made it worse for him was how he was gripping his hand and sleeping soundly next to him. 

He walked over before roughly grabbing the boy and shaking him awake. 

"What are you doing here Potter?!", Draco said in the most aggressive tone possible. 

"What?", Harry said confused walking up. 

"Why are you here!", Draco asked letting go of the now-awake Harry. 

"I kinda lost the bones in my arm yesterday remember after we beat Slytherin in Quidditch", Harry said back with a smirk at the end. 

"Why you-", Draco was interrupted by a groan coming from the sleeping Kaiyo. Kaiyo shifted as he woke up. There was stiffness in his back and a pounding headache that rattled his skull. He used his arms to push himself up from his sleeping position now sitting upright facing the two previously arguing boys. 

"What happened?", Kaiyo asked holding his bandaged head. 

"Are you okay?", Draco asked ignoring Harry and walking over. He moved the bangs that were tangled covering his eyes only to move away when he saw the red patch on his head. 

"Kaiyo! What happened?", Pansy asked walking over and pushing Draco aside. 

"You have a death wish don't you", Theo teased lightly tapping his book against his head. 

Kaiyo gave a small chuckle before pushing the book aside lightly. Pansy gave him a hug and pat his head before turning to Draco and Harry and giving them both a look that screamed satisfaction. They all stayed for a while before Madam Pomfrey told them to leave and released Harry from the Infirmary.  

"What do you want with Kaiyo? Potter", Draco asked once they left the room. 

"I don't have to answer you", Harry said back the two glaring at each other. 

"Fine then. I'll say this stay away from him", Draco said before leaving with the rest of the group following. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You may have been brought here to help us, but you must remember your own limits", Madam Pomfrey said replacing my bandages before pausing. "You could've died last night". 

I looked up to see her looking at me with a stern face. I could only remember Kyouyo's face looking that time before. 

"I'm sorry", I said lowering my head. 

"Remember you are still a kid", Madam Pomfrey said before leaving. As she left a certain cat came in with a couple of flowers in his mouth.

"Kuro... How have you been?", I asked leaning over and picking him up.

"Are these for me?", I asked him as he dropped them in my lap. He walked up to me and nuzzled my neck. I hugged him in return and held him close.

=====================================================

"Again? You mean, the Chamber of Secrets has been opened before?", Hermoine asked as their trio were standing in the bathroom with a boiling cauldron. 

"Of course! Don't you see? Lucius Malfoy must've opened it when he was at school here, and now he's told Draco how to do it", Ron said. 

"I don't know if Draco opened it anymore", Harry said. The two turned their attention to him. 

"Why not?", Hermione asked. 

"Last night Colin was attacked and so was Kaiyo", Harry explained. 

"That's why he wasn't in class today", Hermoine said. 

"So what? Just because Kurayami was attacked it doesn't mean Malfoy isn't the heir", Ron said.

"Ron! I get where you're coming from. Malfoy cares about Kaiyo and I doubt he would ever attack him", Hermoine said. Harry nodded agreeing with her. 

"But. That doesn't mean he doesn't at least know who is", Hermoine reasoned. 

"I guess", Harry said as they continued brewing the Polyjuice potion. 

 ================================================

The day passed slowly. I was confined to bed rest since walking around all day would put a strain on my body Madam Pomfrey said if I wanted to heal faster I shouldn't be walking around as much. 

"Mister Kurayami", Snape said turning my attention to him. I put a bookmark into the novel Theo gave me and closed it. Kuro was curled up on my lap and looked at him too with twitching ears. 

"Professor Snape", I said back. He walked over before he was looming over. 

"I heard you had woken up and decided to come to visit along with the missed homework", Snape said before handing me a small pile of papers. 

"Thank you. I'll get on it soon", I said smiling at him. 

"There is no need for that. You have time to finish your work and your teachers have been made aware of the situation", Snape said patting my head before leaving. 

I looked through the pile of papers and started on the work I missed. An hour or two passed as I almost finished my work. I was taking a break and playing with Kuro. Earlier Kuro left only to bring back a small bag of cat toys. 

I was playing with the feather toy that he was happily chasing. I was having fun playing with Kuro and the breeze flowing from the open window was calming and all that was ruined in seconds by... 

"Hello, my good boy!", Gilderoy. Lockhart. 

"Professor Lockhart... What a surprise...", I said looking away. Kuro looked over as well after I stopped waving his toy. He jumped onto the bed curling up in my lap. I looked down to see him giving Lockhart a glare. I smiled and gave him a scratch on the neck. 

"I came after hearing you were attacked by the horrid monster of Slytherin", Lockhart says rambling his mouth. How long will he stay here? 

"Professor Lockhart I'd advise you to be careful with how to speak about my house", I said looking at Lockhart with a stern look. He looked startled and confused for a moment. This was probably the first time a student gave him a cold shoulder. 

"Besides, I wasn't petrified nor killed so looking at the situation this is fine", I said directing my attention to Kuro who was hissing at the man. 

"I suppose so. If I was there I could save you from your injuries and poor Creevey from being petrified", Lockhart says moving my hair to the side exposing the bandage. 

"I suppose...", I said moving his hand away from my face. It felt disgusting. Lockhart looked at me in a way that made my skin crawl. At that moment Madam Pomfrey came in. I don't know whether it was the expression on my face or the fact he was standing and leaning so close to me that she rushed over in a casual manner. 

"Mister Lockhart! Mister Kurayami here needs his rest and visiting hours are long over!", she says kicking him out of the Infirmary. 

"He gives me a bad feeling. Are you okay Kaiyo?", She asks me. 

"I'm fine. I'd be better if I never see that man again", I said somewhat jokingly. She laughed along. 

"Oh, don't we all. He flaunts his talents to everyone insisting he knows how to do something better. Drives us all up the wall", Madam Pomfrey complains. I laughed at that. I can still remember Professor McGonagall complaining about him before the year even started. 

"I know. Professor McGonagall was complaining the day he arrived", I said still somewhat laughing. 

"Come now it is time for you to rest. Don't think I haven't seen you walking about", she says in a mocking scolding. 

"Yes, Madam Pomfrey", I said laying back down falling asleep
