Chapter 2
Falling
The leaves were falling off the tree's in the Hogwart grounds as Hagrid pushed Jack's chair along. They were the last people off the train and when they reached the carriages there was only one left. Hagrid picked Jack up and placed her gently on the seat. Then he turned to Draco, "Now you look after Miss Jack. I have somethin' I need to do. I want you to take her to Mrs McGonagall."
Draco stared at him with a look of extreme panic on his face, "But..."
Hagrid shook his head, "No buts Mr Malfoy. I need you to do this." He turned quickly and almost ran away.
Draco turned back to Jack with a pained expression on his face. She grinned at him, apparently she had forgotten the whole 'I hate you because your a muggle' incident, and patted the seat beside her. Draco groaned. So this was his punishment as well.
He climbed up. "Ooh! Don't forget my wheelchair." Jack pointed. With a sigh Draco got back down, picked it up and an then climbed up again.
Jack smiled at him, "I'm a pain aren't I?"
"Yes."
Jack frowned, "Your not supposed to agree with me!"
Draco rolled his eyes. I will not say anything bad. He chanted to himself. I will not say anything bad. Even if she is a filthy muggle. The word popped into his head.
He reasoned with them. A crippled filthy muggle who can see the future.
We hate muggles, mudbloods, and mullets!
Mullets?
Mullets!
I'm not listening to you!
Tough!
Fine! You know what?
What?
I'll treat her like Potter or Weasley or Granger. No more no less.
He glanced at Jack. She was starring at him.
"What?" He growled.
Jack looked at him curiously, "Were you having a conversation in your head?"
Draco stared at her, "How did you know?"
"Your lips were moving."
Draco felt his skin grow hot.
"Its perfectly alright!" Jack smiled benignly, "I have them too."
"And that makes it alright?" Draco asked snappishly.
"Yup!"
The carriage rolled to a halt. Draco jumped out hurriedly. Jack, of course, stayed where she was. She smiled. What was with her smiling all the time? Draco thought angrily. She shouldn't smile! She's a cripple for heavens sake.
"Are you going to help me or shall I do it all myself?" She asked.
Draco glanced around. There was nobody in sight. "Fine! I'll help!" He snarled, "But just this once. And only coz Hagrid told me to."
He climbed back up and scooped her into his arms. He stood still for a second. She felt so fragile.
Gently he climbed down. And turned to the wheelchair. Which was still in the carriage. Folded up.
"Maybe you should have done that first." She suggested.
Draco scowled. Annoying little brat. But what was he going to do now. Despite the fact she was fragile she was also really heavy.
He bent to place her on the ground and his hands slipped.
He dropped her.
By accident! Not on purpose!
Jack fell to the ground with a thump. She glared at him. "OW!"
"Sorry!" He muttered. His pulled her chair down and placed her in it.
He reached to push her but she slapped his hands away, "I can wheel myself." She set of at a terrific pace.
Draco shrugged and followed her. He found her at the bottom of the steps looking mutinous. "Need a hand?" He asked sweetly.
She glared at him, "Will you drop me this time."
"Maybe. Maybe not."
She rolled her eyes, "Fine."
Draco sighed and picked her up and carried her to the top of the stairs. Then he went down and got her wheelchair.
He groaned. He'd just remembered how many flights of stairs there were between here and the front entrance!
