Chapter Nine - Malfoy's Surprise
Day Three:
"I am NOT doing it!" Harry said to Ginny who was dragging him towards the Slytherin table.
"What? You're not scared, are you?"
"NO!" Harry defended himself. "Ok, fine!" he said. "But this is the last time!"
"OK! Here he comes." Ginny whispered, jerking her head towards a group of students with green and white ties who were walking towards the dungeons.
"Right, here I go again." Harry said to himself. Ginny watched her friend striding uncomfortably towards Draco Malfoy, a fifth year bully. Poor Harry, I hope this time, Malfoy listens!

"Oh my god, Harry! WHAT HAPPENED!" Ginny cried out as she made her way to the bed at the end of the hospital wing. Harry lied on the bed with his back towards Ginny and he was moaning in pain, with his hands clutching his face.
"Harry! Show me!" Ginny said urgently, trying to pull her friend's arms away from his face. Suddenly, she uttered a horrified gasp.
"Harry. y-your f-face!" Ginny could hardly stutter those words.
"Serves him right!" a voice said triumphantly across the room.
"MALFOY!" Ginny screeched and stomped towards the blond boy whose arm was bandaged.
"MISS WEASLEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Professor Sprout screamed with shock. She was holding a bottle of green and purple liquid in a small flask. Unfortunately, Ginny did not hear her because she was too busy strangling Malfoy, while screaming nasty threats.
"If you EVER, and I mean E-V-E-R touch Harry again, I will KICK YOUR A-S- S!" she spat, her eyes forming into thin slits.
"That's ENOUGH, Ginny!" Harry said, finally letting everyone see his disastrous face. Half of his cheek was covered in blisters and boils, and most of them were bleeding heavily.
"Oh my!" was Professor Sprout's response. "Here, Madame Pomfrey. This would cure Harry in a second." She handed the flask to the school nurse.
As Madame Pomfrey dabbed the greenish purple liquid, which unfortunately turned out to be a Hungarian Horntail's waste mixed with black acid.
"OWW!" Harry shrieked as large amount of liquid was poured down his cheek.
"It's alright, dear. You'll be back to your handsome face in a short while" Madame Pomfrey said, cheering Harry up.
Malfoy snorted. "Handsome? You call that face of his, handsome?" Malfoy snorted again.
"It's at least better than yours, Malfoy!" Ginny snapped in her most poisonous tone, which shut Malfoy up immediately.

"Looks like Professor McGonagall broke the news to him"
"Yeah." Harry nodded. "He's not feeling all that superior, is he?" he joked, nodding his head towards the corner of the classroom.
Draco Malfoy was sitting down on his seat, speechless. Normally he would go around the room, pestering every Gryffindor in sight, leaving girls crying and boys embarrassed. But today, he's just sitting there by himself, without Crabbe and Goyle's enormous body surrounding him. He scratched his head quite a few times until he excused himself and went to his common room, or so he said to Professor Trelawny as he was 'stressed out'.

Does Malfoy have any feelings for Hermione? Find out in Chapter Ten.. I know this is a short chapter but I really don't have many inspirations these days. REVIEW!
