After Home Ec, Dawn came in with an armful of books and notebooks so she could study for her Artifacts and Government finals. It was just convenient that her seat also gave her a good view of the mostly-healed boyfriend behind the desk whenever she glanced up.

But she didn't stare, because that would be creepy.

If it was Dean that was watching him, Sam would probably be annoyed. But he couldn't feel the same way about Dawn, no matter how much she fretted over him.

"So, how was Home Ec?" he asked.

"Pretty quiet. Handed in my project, explained about the bucket of miniaturized stakes by the door, so it's all good," she shrugged, "What's up with you? Still studying?"

"No, I'm just poking around online for the moment," Sam said. "The studying will come later, when I'm more awake and less achy."

"Did you take any painkillers?" She eyed him, wondering exactly how macho he was going to try to be about this.

"Um. Not yet," he admitted. "I want to see if I need them first, or if I'll feel better on my own later."

Dawn could mostly understand that. "How did your finals go?"

"Really well, so far. I don't think I discussed things as well as I could have in Ethics, but Anakin seemed to understand when I told him about what happened," Sam said.

"What did happen?" Dawn asked, "Do you remember? And what did Anakin say when you told him?"

"I wish I remembered," Sam said sincerely. "One minute, I was sitting in the dorm, studying, and the next thing I knew, I was on the floor of the church feeling like I got hit by a truck. I don't even remember getting to the clinic. And Anakin was just happy that I was okay. Whatever happened, I think Professor Next was involved, so he was just thankful that neither of us got really badly hurt."

"So, possession, multiple personality disorder, temporary amnesia from the head injury, or a memory spell," Dawn wasn't happy about any of those options, "and I'm thankful you didn't get hurt worse, too."

"Um." Sam looked down a little. "Dean and I think it might have been possession. He said there was something on the radio about a demon...and since I seem to be a magnet for those sorts of things..." He trailed off, sighing.

Dawn sighed as well, "We just need to figure out a way to keep it from happening anymore."

"Do you think there is a way? I'd be open to pretty much anything, because all of my ideas involve hiding, and I don't think those are good options."

"We could paint one of those Devil's Trap things on your forehead," Dawn suggested.

"I don't know how effective that would be," Sam said, laughing. "And I'd have to grow my hair even longer to cover it up."

"Oh, let's not do that," she grinned, "since you'd probably trip over something and hit your head, and then you'd still be sore."

"No, there's got to be something else," Sam said. "Studying for magic class got me thinking about how effective an amulet might be, to like, ward off anything evil who might want to mess with me. Or Dean, or you, for that matter."

"I'm all for anything that might help, even if it means I'll be walking around wearing two or three amulets at a time," she waved the one Alanna had given her at him. "I'm in for research, if you want help after finals."

"I love that I don't have to talk you into researching," Sam said, grinning. "I really would appreciate the help."

"Here, you get me for two reasons--one because it's researching, two because it's you I'm maybe helping to protect," she told him.

"If anyone can help me, it'll either be you or Dean. Most likely both of you," Sam said.

"Not like you couldn't figure it out on your own, though."

"Maybe," Sam said, shrugging before smiling broadly at Dawn. "But it'll be easier and faster with someone else who's as smart as me looking."

"You're asking Rory and Hermione?" Dawn teased, "I'll feel very left out."
