Chapter 38

Draco woke up in the morning, not as affected by the light as he had been before. He moved to sit up when he heard a voice.

"Draco's awake! Theo, come back!" It was Blaise!

Draco pushed himself up just in time to see Theo hurrying towards an impatiently gesturing Blaise. He couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

The two boys made their way over to him with matching grins.

"You woke up just in time," said Blaise. "We were about to leave you."

"Madame Pomfrey told us you woke up yesterday so we came to see you," added Theo.

Draco smiled. "How long have I been in here?"

Theo looked like he was thinking for a moment. "This is your fourth day, so you were unconscious for two days."

"Two days?" exclaimed Draco. "What happened? I can't remember."

"Well you got Luna in the lake after she fell in—"

"I remember that," said Draco, interrupting Theo.

"And then you got pulled under the lake by something; Dumbledore hasn't told us what it was yet," he continued.

"After that, Professor Snape used a spell that got you out. I don't know what he did but it was so impressive! He literally made the water part; you should have seen the look on everyone's faces," said Blaise with a small chuckle.

Draco made a mental note to thank his godfather. He wouldn't feel comfortable with anything sentimental but if the potions master ever needed help, Draco would be sure to volunteer himself for the task.

"What have you been up to since you woke up?" asked Blaise.

"Nothing much to be honest," said Draco. He didn't know whether he wanted to tell the two boys about what had happened the night before. Was it really that significant anyway?

"How about Luna?" asked Theo. "Has she woken up yet?"

Draco took that as a sign. "She woke up last night and I got her some potions for her headache because I had an awful one when I woke up. I gave her a sleeping draught as well so she could sleep. If I'm not wrong she should be awake in about fifteen minutes," he said, remembering the amount he had given her.

Theo looked at Blaise for a moment. "Would you mind if Theo went to call Cho and Ginny?" asked Blaise. "They've been worrying since they didn't know she woke up."

"I wouldn't mind. They should be here just in time to see her wake up if Theo gets a move on," he said with a small laugh.

Theo grinned and left the hospital wing with a wave. The moment he passed out of sight, Blaise turned to him. "Theo wanted me to keep the conversation light but I really had to ask if you'd thought anymore about Luna," he said.

Draco sighed and shrugged. "With everything that's been happening it's just… I don't know. We all know that I still like her because of that stupid fucking potion Pansy slipped me and you and Theo seem to be convinced that she didn't cheat."

"Then why don't you give it a chance?" asked Blaise. "What could go wrong?"

"What could go wrong? I seem to recall me calling her a whore and if that wasn't bad enough I'm probably going to be a Death Eater by the end of this year." He groaned, putting his head in his hands. "It'd only be right to keep her away from me."

"Draco," said Blaise, and Draco looked up to find his friend grinning. "You're going to be a Death Eater at the end of this year; you can keep her away from you then. Have fun whilst you can."

Draco snorted. "You're an absolute—"

"Genius? I know."

"I was thinking more along the lines of twat, wanker, d—"

"Alright, alright. I get your point," said Blaise with his arms raised in mock surrender. "But seriously, go for it."

Draco raised an eyebrow. "Speaking of going for it, what is it with you and Cho Chang?" he asked.

"Nothing," he said, but Draco wasn't blind, he could see that his friend was blushing.

"Oh, of course it was nothing," said Draco sarcastically. "I didn't see the pair of you kissing each other like your lives depended on it a few months ago at all!"

Blaise rolled his eyes. "It was nothing."

Was he really not going to budge from 'It was nothing.'? "Listen, I know she's with Diggory, the Hufflepuff, but don't think that it's game over. In fact—"

"Are you trying to encourage me to encourage someone to cheat?" asked Blaise, incredulously.

"Oh get off your moral high horse—I wasn't even suggesting that anyway."

"Suggesting what?" said a voice from beside him.

Blaise was the first one to speak. "Luna, you're awake!"

Draco turned to look at her and saw that she was smiling at Blaise. "I am," she said. "I don't have a headache anymore."

Turning to Draco she said, "Thank you for the potions last night; they helped a lot."

Draco smiled tentatively, knowing that Blaise was watching him. "I'm glad that you're feeling better now. I knew what the headache felt like and Madame Pomfrey didn't seem to be aroun—"

He was cut off by a jab to his side from Blaise. "You're babbling," he murmured before Draco could ask why he'd prodded him.

Before anyone could say anything else, Theo entered with Cho and Ginny.

"Luna!" Cho and Ginny exclaimed at the same time. They ran forward to meet their friend, the blonde stretching her arms out to give them hugs.

"How are you?" asked Cho, directing the question to her friend and Draco.

"I'm fine," said Luna with a smile.

When Cho glanced questioningly at him he said, "I'm well."

"That's good," said Ginny. "We thought the two of you would never wake up! Unconscious for two entire days—thanks for making us worry by the way."

Draco and Luna laughed. "Sorry," said the blonde, sheepishly.

Draco couldn't help himself. "You were worried about me?" he asked, holding his hands over his heart.

Ginny laughed. "Don't get too far ahead of yourself; we're not best friends." Turning serious she said, "But I was worried about you both."

"Well, they both seem to be fine now," said Blaise with a smile.


After Madame Pomfrey had finally managed to kick Cho, Ginny, Blaise and Theo out of the hospital wing, they walked up to the great hall together.

"I don't want to ruin the good atmosphere," began Ginny.

"But you are," teased Theo.

Ginny snorted. "I just wanted to know why Draco and Luna were acting normal around each other."

"Maybe they're both moving on?" asked Cho.

"Whatever it is, it looks like we don't need to scheme so much," said Theo with a grin.

Blaise joined them in their jokes and laughter, feeling happier than he had in a while. Draco seemed to be listening to his advice.
