The Buddy System. *Updating In Process*

Plot Twist

"Well that's ok. We can take you home now. This physician. She is trained in both muggle medicine and healer care. You've already met her so it works out perfectly." Kingsley nodded.

"Who is she?" I asked.

"That would be me sugar!" Nicola smiled from the doorway. "You ready to head home?" I smiled. I had only known Nicola a short space of time and yet I was already extremely fond of her.

So having waved the staff and Healer Wilkson goodbye, I was now being carried up my garden path, home. My arms were securely fastened around Draco's shoulders as he held me close.

Azaleah was at the front door when we arrived and ushered us into the living room. It was all very unnecessary and I could walk no problem. But I did enjoy being in Draco's arms.

Instead of setting me on the couch, he sat down with me still in his arms so I was on his knees. I snuggled down into his chest as he chuckled.

"Comfy love?" He asked.

"This is my favourite place to be." He squeezed me tighter in response.

Mrs Weasley, Hermione and Harry had yet to head home and were sitting on the couch with Narcissa now. Andromeda was bouncing Teddy in her arms and Pansy was stroking Bleu as she sat on Blaises knee in the armchair. The Christmas tree and decorations had been take down in the few hours I was away and the living room was back to it cozy self.

"So what did the Healers say?" Azaleah begged.

But I couldn't do it. I couldn't tell her. So Draco did it for me. As he finished I could hear his sniff.

Azaleah was in tears as Theo comforted her, Hermione and Pansy too. "So what's the plan?" Harry said after a few moments silence.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well I don't think any of us are going to sit by and watch this happen. We want to help. So let's think of a plan." He shrugged.

"Pot- eh Harry is right. There's enough of us that we can find this asshole!" Narcissa for once didn't even flinch at Draco's cursing. In fact she was nodding along.

Professor McGonagall approached the couch and took my hand. "Raelyn I am so sorry to hear this is happening. But we will find a solution. I think I have an idea."

She produced her wand and conjured a scroll which unravelled itself.

"First things first, I have removed all your things from your dorm in Hogwarts."

My face fell. "Don't worry dear. This is just so that you can come home every evening back to the house. This way you can receive the best care daily. The boys and Pansy will be doing the same." Pansy nodded and gave me look as if daring me to object. So I didn't. "You can come to the Great Hall every morning for breakfast and have lunch and dinner if you wish before taking the floo from my office home."

I nodded.

"Now I have looked at everyone's timetables. Raelyn you classes for this semester have been switched as have Draco's as you take all the same subjects bar one. All your lessons will be morning. Meaning you finish everyday at 3pm. That leaves the rest of the day free for research."

"Thank you," Draco smiled.

"You can use the library to your full disposal." She explained.

"Blaise and Theo you will be free on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons to join in. Pansy, Hermione and Harry you are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday."

"What about Azaleah's tutoring?" I asked. "She still needs her tutoring." Azaleah scowled at me.

But McGonagall smiled. "Fear not. I will continue Transfiguratin, Professor Flitwick in Charms and Astronomy and you and Hermione can still do your tutoring."

I shook my head. "This is too much. I can't ask you to do this."

"You haven't," Hermione reminded me. "We offered."

"We will be researching as well," Mrs Weasley piped up pointing between her and Narcissa. "And Arthur, Bill and Fleur."

"I am also putting together a team to investigate." Kingsley added.

By now I was ugly crying. "But this is your final year at school. You are under enough stress!"

"I will make sure everyone of you pass your exams!" McGonagall piped up.

"Me too!" Kingsley winked.

"Face it Rae. We are doing this!" Blaise said stubbornly.

"You are there for everyone else. It's our turn to be there for you." Theo smirked. "I've contacted Nate and his wife as well."

"And I asked Wren." Pansy nodded.

"Everyone wants to do this. Of our own free will." Harry shrugged and I rolled my eyes.

"You worry about staying healthy and helping me study and let us worry about the rest," Azaleah smiled.

I guess I had no choice in the matter. Good thing I loved all of these idiots.
