"Wha…Malfoy? What are you doing here?" Ginny said, shocked.
Malfoy seemed to need all of his strength just to talk. "I…was helping…her…" He said, and then passed out next to Hermione.
Ginny went over to them, followed slowly by Ron. When she got to them she conjured up a first aid kit and bent down to Draco.
"Ginny" Ron said "What are you doing? He's a Death Eater, it could be a , take care of Hermione first."
Ginny though for a while. Then she said "Well Ron, I don't think it's a trap, because why would they bring Hermione back if they already had her? And Draco is really wounded, he's lost a lot of blood from this wound on his chest. And Hermione isn't hurt."
Ron just nodded, before he picked Hermione up bridal style and carried her back to the tent.
Ginny carefully took of Draco's shirt, and gasped at what she saw.
His chest had a very deep gash in it, along hhis left ribcage. She conjured a cloth and began to dab some of the blood away. She didn't know any healing spells, they would have to wait until Hermione woke up. Ginny slowly started to drag Draco back into the tent. When Ron saw him, he turned angry right away.
"NO Ginny, I'm not letting him in here, he could have been the one hurting Hermione for all we know! What if he tries to hurt us?" He said.
Ginny sighed. "Ron, I have a good feeling about this. I think he was really tring to help Hermione. I think we should trust him, at least until he wakes up."
Ron nodded his head in defeat. He hoisted Draco on to another bed.
Hermione groaned. Ron and Ginny both ran to her.
"'Mione? Are you alright?" Ron asked.
Hermione opened her eyes and sat up.
" Is Draco he- oh thank goodness" She said when she spotted him on the bed next to her.
"Hermione, what happened to you? And what does Malfoy have to do with it?" Ron asked.
Hermione began talking fast. "Well, I blacked out almost right after I was taken, and I woke up in this cellar. Fenrir Greyback came and got me, and he took me to see Voldemort. Then they all Crucioed me until I passed out. When I woke up, I was back in the cell, and I sat there for a long time. Then the door opened. I thought they were coming back to torture me again, so I pretended to be unconscious. Thhen I saw Draco come in, and he gently sat me up and gave me a pain potion. My eyes opened out of shock, and I started to panick, but he kept a hold of me, and he tried to explain how much he hated being a Death Eater, and how he wanted to be good. I believed him. Then another guard came back, and saw Draco with me.
"He pulled out his wand, but Darco stupefied him first. Then He picked me up, and carried me out of the cellar. We had almost made it to the front doors when all the Death Eaters came out from a different room, because they heard the noise. Draco brought a lot of them down, he was really brave, but one of them hit him with a spell, and it cut his chest. Then, as he grabbed me and apparted out of there, someone stunned me." Hermione finished breathlessly.
Ron and Ginny were stunned at what she had been through. They looked at Draco, and back at Hermione.
"Hermione," Ginny started. "We don't know healing spells, is there anything that-"
"No," Hermione interrupted. "It was a curse. It can't be healed by magic, only time."
Draco began to stir. The trio looked over at him, still wary.
"What the…where am I?" He asked.
"You are in our tent. We took you into here."
Draco looked around, and tried to sit up, but winced in pain as soon as he did.
"We can't heal you." Hermione explained. "We have to wait for it to heal on it's own.
Draco swore. "Did anyone follow us here?" He asked.
"No, not that we know of." Hermione replied.
"Good"
"Listen, they need to hear what you told me."
Draco sighed.
"Okay."
Okay, I got 3 reviews, so I though I might as well post this. Thanks to those that did review. It made me want to write. I think that updates will be determined by review, so I'm not posting the next chapter until I get AT LEAST 5 reviews. Now I have to go and watch Glee.
