Chapter 9
The next morning, Hermione was awoken by the pecking of an owl at her hand. Her eyes fluttered open and her body automatically registered the foreign object that was holding her. At first, her mind jumped to the worst conclusion and she automatically tensed. The sudden movement by her apparently awoke the person next to her and she quickly felt guilty when her brain finally registered that the person was Draco. His eyes fluttered open and she relaxed a bit while untangling herself enough to reach the letter that was attached to the owl's leg.
"Whose that from?" he asked as he sat up a bit straighter and eyeing the eagle owl. Hermione shrugged and open the letter, keeping it in the view of Draco, as if telling him that he was allowed to read it. He smiled to himself as he realized that she trusted him enough to let him do so and glanced at the slanted handwriting.
Hermione Jean Granger,
I am sorry to inform you that Harry James Potter did not make it home safely last night. He has arrived at St. Mungos this morning while multiple bruises and cuts. It is apparent that we find out what happened to him, but we can't be sure because Mr. Potter is still out. Mrs. Ginnevra Weasley requested that we inform you of his arrival as soon as possible.
Sorry for an inconvenience this must have caused,
Martha Bulstrode,
Department of magical injuries and melodys at Saint Mongos
Hermione gasped and Draco automatically squeezed her hand to show that he understood. She hastily got up and made her way to her dresser, pulling out an outfit and storming off to the bathroom to change. Draco walked into his room and quickly got dressed, walked back into Hermione's room and waited patiently. He knew who would've done this to Harry and he also knew that Hermione was also aware. Normally, he wouldn't go with her but he did not want her alone in case that bastard came back to finish scar head off.
"You actually want to come?" she asked almost before Draco even spotted her. He took note that her voice was cold again and he sighed, knowing that she was still guarding herself around him, not that she didn't have good reason to. He nodded to show her that he did hear her and that he was planning on coming. "Why? Since when do you care about Harry's well-being?" she asked coldly and he flinched.
"Since he showed up at my doorstep in the same condition just a few days ago and since I know what the bastard that did it to him is capable of" he said nonchalantly and she took a step back, as if this was a shock to her. "Come on Granger, don't be so surprised. I still don't like Mr. Famous very much but I don't want you going alone and weasel showing up to make an even bigger mess of things" he noticed he said the wrong thing when her brown eyes caught fire.
"I can handle myself Malfoy" she said stubbornly and he gave a look as if to say 'yea okay' she narrowed her eyes and said "I don't need your help this time" while grabbing her bag and stepping towards the door.
"I know you don't need me Granger, you are the heroine of the war and the brightest witch of our age. You can handle any situation on your own, but that doesn't mean you have to." At this Hermione's face softened completely and Draco stepped towards her, taking her hand and smiling down at her. She squeezed his hand, and with only a nod to each other, they disapparated within seconds.
Seconds later, they arrived in the entrance of St. Mungos and immediately dropped each other's hands. Before Draco could even register where they were, Hermione was marching towards the floor in which Harry would be on. He followed her without question and within 5 minutes, they arrived in the room in which Harry laid unconscious. At first, Draco wondered how he managed to get his own room, until he remembered that Harry was an auror. The white sheets and white walls could blind anyone, that's not even including the blinding sunlight emitting from the huge window beside Harry's bed. Draco drew the conclusion that the nurses were hoping that the blazing sunlight would awaken scar head, and he shook his head in a 'no way in hell' sort of fashion.
Hermione drew in a gasp and Draco immediately followed her gaze. Harry Potter, savior of the wizarding world, looked as if he was going to die any moment. His head had a huge gash in which dried up blood was visible in his hair and his eyes were swollen at least twice to size. A Draco glanced down Harry's skinny body, he realized that he has casts on his arm and leg and the other limbs didn't look too much better. He had scrapes everywhere and as far as Draco could tell, he fought back twice as hard. Harry's hands were swollen three times their normal size and his knuckles were covered in dry blood. Draco suddenly remembered Hermione and he quickly took her arm and led her outside of the room. He slipped his arm around her waist and just stood there, watching her expression.
"Hermione Granger?" an unfamiliar male voice said and Hermione turned towards the man and nodded. The man was wearing a white doctor's robe and was about the same height as Draco. "I'm so sorry that you had to see your friend in such a frail condition." The doctor's blue eyes sparkled and Draco noticed that he flung his head sideways, allowing his brown hair to be kept out of his eyes. To Draco's surprise, Hermione tensed at his words and just nodded, refusing to say a word. "I am doctor Hart and I have been overseeing the health of Mr. Potter as best as I could. He has a few cracked ribs, a broken arm and leg and some severe head damage. Nothing is fatal, and if I am correct, he should be up anytime now." The doctor paused as if to allow Hermione to ask any question, but surprisingly she remained silent so the doctor continued. "We are not however sure who did this, would you happen to know?" Hermione shook her head no and Draco automatically looked at her from surprise. "Well then, you can stay as long as the visiting hours permit, I would however ask that if he is to awaken while you are here, that you let me know, have a good day." Hermione nodded and the doctor strode away.
"Why didn't you tell him?" Draco whispered into Hermione's ear and she motioned for him to stay quiet and follow her. He did so without question but was very confused as to what was going on. She led him outside and in an alleyway, than she suddenly stopped short and turned towards him.
"We have to get Harry out of here." She stated and Draco was just about to ask her what the hell she was talking about but her put her hand up, leaned in and spoke in a soft whisper. "That man, he is not a doctor, well he is, but not a good one for Harry." Again she put up her hand in protest when Draco tried to question her and sighed. "Let me explain, than you can ask questions." He nodded and let her continue with what she was saying. "I know that man; he is Ron's dad's cousin. I know for a fact that Ron is behind this and I also know that his cousins are too stupid to say no to Ron if he asked for their help. It is no coincidence that he is Harry's doctor and I doubt that Ginny actually came here because she would tear her cousin apart. They will not treat Harry and make him better here Draco." She finished and gave him a look that told him that he could talk again.
"But why Potter? I don't understand what happened to their friendship."
"I happened to it, Draco. He is doing this to get to me" Draco's eyes widened and he reached for Hermione's hand. Within seconds they disapparated once again only this time, they appeared in what Draco could only assume to be Harry and Ginny's flat. He got this both from the pictures on the mantle and the many people sitting in front of him. 'so weasellette, weasellette's mother and father, Kingsley, twin number one, moody, Neville, and the old bat all in the same place? Looks to me like the Order of the Phoenix is present.' Draco thought to himself and then he released Hermione's hand and tried his best to smile at the group of people in which he knew did not want to see him.
So what do you think? I had to put a twist in it because I'm just annoying like that sorry for the really bad updating! Hope you guys enjoyed! Let me know what you think!
