Just cast away and I am lost at sea

Another lonely day and no one here but me

More loneliness than any man could bear

Rescue me before I fall into despair.

I wandered the halls of Hogwarts; my Mary Jane's clacked on the hard stone pathway I followed.  I kept my head low and clutched my black binder tight like it was my life preserver.  I glanced up but once, this was a mistake though, because not only did I feel foolish, but, I didn't see the chunk of stone laying in the middle of the hall.  I hit the rock and fell hard against the unpleasant ground.  I felt the warm trickle of blood against my cheeks and I fought back tears as I tried to lift myself up.  It was then that I felt his warm arms snake around my middle and life me up roughly.

My life was different from the time warmth flowed through my blood for the first time in years.  I didn't even see who it was, but I knew I was in love.

I was but a few feet from my destination when I saw a little red head tumble in front of me.  I rolled my eyes at the mere stupidity, it's not as though walking is a hard thing these days but I suppose for Weasley it was downright traumatic. 

Glancing around to see if anyone was around I debated whether or not I should help the miscreant up.  There was one person, a Ravenclaw I didn't know but it was reason enough for me to kick the girl when she was down.  I leant down and just as I was about to unleash the current of insults that was on the tip of my tongue, I heard a whimper of pain and saw the blood flowing down the side of her face.  If I had one heartstring in my body, she tugged it and I suddenly was ashamed for almost beating her senseless with words. 

I wrapped my arms around her waist and hoisted her up.  I then proceeded to pick her up and start to carry her toward the Hospital wing.

Whoever it was that picked me up was strong, but not as gentle as I would have liked.  I reminded myself that it was a lift and I felt beautiful even if he probably pitied me.  He started to carry me toward the Hospital wing, but I didn't have a chance to see who he was exactly because the bump my head received from my fall started to have an effect on me.  I felt dizzy and suddenly my whole world went dark.  The last thought that swam through my mind was "I hope its Harry."

*

I felt like bloody Harry Potter carrying her.  I hated being heroic.  I just pity people.  I suddenly felt her go limp and looked down to see that she'd passed out against my chest.  There she goes tugging at my heartstring again.  I quickened my pace and soon found myself in the Hospital Wing.

"Oh Dear, oh dear, oh dear, what happened?"  Madame Pomfrey was positively hysterical.

"Bleeding hell woman, she's passed out, do something for her. . . " I hadn't meant to snap, and I hoped she was too jumpy to react to my cursing.  Pomfrey hadn't noticed, thank the sages, she was busy bustling around the wing, grabbing bottles of potions and it seemed she'd misplaced her wand.  "Can I put her down?"

"Oh yes!  I'm sorry I have to ask you to do this, but erm, could you dress her in a gown?  I'm really quite busy and there's no one else here."

This was rather unusual.  Gulping, I nodded and she handed me the gown and put up the dressing curtains before running off to continue her search for her wand.  Mindless git.

A/N: Read and Review.

Preview :  Her eyes fluttered open just as I was about to button the last button on her gown.  She looked confused at first, and then as reality hit, she jumped up and screamed.  "DRACO MALFOY!" but that wasn't all she had to say, "Get off me this instant!  What do you think you're doing anyway?!"

"Well it would appear that I'm dressing you doesn't it?"
