"Shut up!"
He heard Granger hiss to Weasley.
"Malfoy's a bloody coward. He's probably run off by now. Besides, this place is huge. He could be anywhere."
Draco felt a sudden surge of anger flow through him, but he stayed behind the shelves regardless.
"Revelio"
He heard Granger murmur.
"He should be over here!"
He heard Granger's steps get closer and closer. Draco drew his wand and then quickly slid to the other side of the shelves. He looked around for a place to hide but couldn't see anything.
He saw Granger walk past the shelves and almost look directly at him.
"Petrificus Totalus" Draco whispered, and flung his wand toward Granger.
"Malfoy!"
He heard Potter and Weasley unified.
Draco sprinted as quickly as e could in the opposite direction. He heard spells flying, but from only one wand. He turned his head to see only Potter, Weasley was in the back with Granger.
"STUPEFY!" He heard Potter hollar.
Draco dived out of the way and into a stack of books. He got up and held his side which felt heavily bruised. He didn't really want any of this to happen. He was scared of what would happen if they found him. He didn't mean it. But he kept running, and kept hearing shouts from Potter, and whizzing spells flying past him. His ribs hurt from how hard he was running. He wanted to lay on the ground and sleep like he hadn't been able to for weeks.
"STUPEFY!" He heard Potter shout again.
This time, he tried to jump out f the way again, but the spell hit him square in the back, and he flew forward into a large stack of broken crystal balls. He held his bruised side and tried to force himself to get up, but he felt the piercing pain from the broken glass of the crystal balls.
He tried to get up, but before he could he saw Potter's wand directly over his face.
Draco reached into his side pocket.
"R-repello..." Draco mumbled.
Potter was sent flying backward a few feet. He saw Granger and Weasley walking towards him and helping up Potter.
Draco rolled onto the floor, sending the broken crystal balls down with him.
Draco lifted his wand above his head and pointed it at the stack of rubbish above them.
"Reducto." He said softly.
A pile of the rubbish exploded, causing the rest of the mountain to come crashing down toward the trio. He heard Granger scream, and Potter grabbed them and pushed all of them out of the way. Draco continued to lay on the floor. He lifted his head slightly and looked at his cut arms. There were pieces of glass sticking out of his black suit. He slumped his head back on the floor and closed his eyes.
"Ep- Episky."
He waved his wand around the places of the cuts and bruises, and felt them feel slightly better. He opened his eyes and heard blasting noises come from behind him. The trio were trying to blast their way through the barrier Draco had put between them. Draco got up slowly, and started running towards the exit.
