Draco had a Quidditch practice today so I joined in the stands and watched as he and six of his teammates practiced. It's kind of peaceful when you learn to tune out all seven of the guys screaming. I put in my headphones and decided to start sun bathing a little. It was a bright day at Hogwarts. Most of the students were outside enjoying the sun.

I opened my eyes when I heard people screaming  louder than the music that was blasting in my ears. I couldn't make out what it was but something very large was heading straight towards me. I panicked and tried to move but I was too late. Whatever it was, hit me straight in my stomach.

"Aster!!!" Draco screamed and flew straight towards me. It was the last thing I heard before blacking out.

When I woke up, everything was bright. My eyes couldn't adjust to the white lights.

Where was I?

"You have disgraced us."

"All of you, shall now be known as "Those Who went against me, and failed to live the tale"

I was back at the Potters house. Before my parents and his were killed.

"Ah, Brayden! Ash! You guys made it safely!" Lily Potter said, as she welcomed my parents into their home. "Aww, and this must be Aster!"

"Thank you, Lily." My mother said as she handed me to her. "Yes, yes. This is Aster, our baby girl."

"She's adorable, please, have a seat. James is making tea." Lily said as she pointed to the couches.

I couldn't have been much older than one years old. This must have been right before my parents were murdered.

"Welcome!" James said as he brought the tea into the living room.

Everything went white again. Where was I now? Then it all went dark and I heard low toned talking.

"I'm not sure if she will wake up dear."

"She has to. I can't lose her, Madam Pomfrey."

Was that Draco?

"The Quaffle hit her very hard, and at a very high speed." Madam Pomfrey said.

"It's all my fault. I was the one who intersected it and hit it." Draco said.

"Draco dear, you didn't purposely hit her.." Madam Pomfrey stopped, "Did you?"

"Of course not!! I love Aster. I would never purposely hurt her." Draco yelled. He was in tears.

Why couldn't I wake up?

"Malfoy." A deep voice said. "She is in a coma. We aren't sure if she will wake up. We have already contacted your parents. They get to decide how long we keep treating her."

"Absolutely not!" Draco screamed, "Professor Dumbledore please. Please don't trust them with her life!"

Dumbledore was there? How many people were near me? Coma? Quaffle? This is to much.

"I'm sorry Draco. We can not control this. It's the law." Dumbledore said, "Your parents will be here in two hours."

Draco cried. What do I do? Can I send him a message? Or Dumbledore? Or even Madam Pomfrey?

"Draco.. Love please hear me." I thought.

Nothing.

"Draco please open your mind."

Everything went white again, and I was back in the Potter household.

"It's so good to see you again. I know the last time we talked we didn't agree with each other. We are sorry, we shouldn't have put that kind of pressure on you guys." Lily said.
