It was after dinner when I heard someone calling my name from down the hallway. "Harry!" she caught up with me in hall and I stopped to see what the matter was. "Harry," she said somewhat winded, "There's been a terrible accident," she panted lightly, "In the Forbidden Forest. Come quick!" She grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the edge of the school grounds. I followed her quickly and we were at the border of the forest within seconds.
I jerked back as she continued just past the first few trees, "Where are we going?" I asked, hesitant to enter the forest, but her face showed so much concern and hurry that I just started running again.
"Draco!" she called out as she ran, gracefully dodging every twig and upturned root. "Draco! I'm coming!" she kept saying. She slowed down as she reached a small clearing at a lake and I recognized it as the same lake where I saved my godfather's life with a patronus.
"Stop!" I shouted as she began to wander off to the far side where Malfoy lay. I could see his pale figure writhing in what I could only assume to be pain. "You don't know what might have followed his scent while you were gone," I said as I noticed the puddle of blood that leaked in a small rivulet into the lake.
"Please Harry! I can protect us but I'm no good at healing magic. You have to do something," she beckoned me, impatiently pulling out her wand and taking a defense stance behind Malfoy.
He was howling in pain, "Help me!" I rushed to his side and pulled back his blood soaked robe. "Stupefy!"
I laughed as I rung out my robe. I couldn't believe he just fell for that, following a Slytherin out into the Forbidden Forest and actually going to try to help me? It had been a simple charm to make the water from the lake run up to my body and an illusion was what made it red. His stunned form watched as I stood with ease and brushed the dirt off myself.
Then he watched as Flay slowly began to morph back into the tall, muscular figure of Viktor Krum. Luckily, I was getting better at transfiguration. "Feeling foolish yet, Potter?" I smirked as I pulled my hood over my pale blonde hair to hide better in the night. "How do you want to do this?" I asked Viktor.
He hadn't said a word but he looked relatively smug from where he was standing, "Wingardium leviosa," he muttered. I was going to say het his feet and I'll get his arms, but that works too.
I had to be careful in telling Flay about what we did tonight. I hadn't informed her at all about our plan seeing as Viktor had owled me moments before arriving. The worst part about the whole thing was waiting in the forest alone. Merlin knows, I've seen the beasts that lurk in these dark corners. We walked at a swift pace to avoid anything that might be in the near area.
In the end, what we needed was a place to put Potter. I hadn't much spoken to Viktor alone since fourth year at the Triwizard Tournament where we exchanged a few words but now I realized he wasn't much of a talker, or maybe just not to me. Either way, we took Potter to the Shrieking Shack and left him stunned there for the time being. Viktor had to be back at Durmstrang soon so I would return shortly to take him elsewhere.
