Chapter 9
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
"Uh," I sighed and turned over.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
"Uh, what now?" Hermione woke up, "its four o'clock in the morning."
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
"I don't know," I said getting out my cell phone.
Chris: Holly, how r u? I'm bored. So I texted u.
"Its Chris," I mumbled.
"Tell him he woke you up," Hermione went back to sleep.
Holly: U woke me up.
Chris: O. Sry.
"He says he's sorry," I told Hermione.
"Mhmm."
Holly: I'm sry but I can't go to Hogsmeade w/u.
Chris: y?
Holly: I'm in the hospital wing.
Chris: y?
Holly: I got in a fight.
Chris: Ok. I understand. Get well soon. I'll ttyl.
Holly: Ok. Bye.
Chris: Bye.
I put my cell phone down on the table and drifted off back to sleep.
…
"Ms. Potter?"
Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
"Ms. Potter?"
Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
"Ms. Potter, wake up."
"Huh?" I opened my eyes.
"You must take your medicine," Madame Pomfrey pointed to a tray full of liquids, tablets, and pills. "If you take all of these with out complaint, you'll be out of here in two weeks time."
"Okay," I sat up and took all of it.
I had regained a bit of feeling back into my arms and legs before I lost it again because of the different healing potions I was on.
I looked over to Hermione to see her trying to read a book but was having great difficulty.
"How you doing with that?" I asked.
"Excuse me?"
"I mean having troubles reading that book?"
"Oh. Yeah."
"I thought so. You know what helps?"
"What?"
"To magically levitate the book."
"Ooo, I never thought of that. Thanks Holly."
"That's why I'm here to help book worms like us everywhere."
"That sure is correct," Draco interrupted.
"Oh shut up Malfoy," Hermione spoke in a hard, cold manner.
"I wasn't talking to you, Granger; I was talking to Potter here."
"What is it, Draco?" I turned to look at him.
His facial expressions softened and he gave me a sorry look.
I gazed back at him. I don't see how that face could be so mean?
"Holly, I'm sorry."
"What?! I am I hearing correctly?" Hermione looked at the two of us.
…But was given no response.
"I know Draco, and I accept your apology."
We smiled at each other.
"Sorry? Apology? Has the world gone insane?" Hermione belted out.
"I would hug you if I could," I said.
"I understand," he blew a kiss at me.
A smile was wide across my face.
"Holly, I think we should get away now, because this is so NOT like Malfoy."
"No, this is my Draco," I said, still staring at him.
"Holly, has the medicine gone to your head?"
"No."
"What about Chris?"
"Who?"
"Chris! The guy who woke you up last night because he wanted to talk to you," she said dramatically.
"Who?"
"Oh. Never mind."
She gave up. And I spent the rest of the day lying on my back, staring to my left, at Draco.
