CHAPTER 8: The News
Draco sat down on the couch in the common room, waiting for Snape's call for him to go see Piper. Millions of concerns entered his weary mind; would Madame Pomfrey be able to revive Piper if she did, would Piper be able to recall who had murdered her?
Finally, after about what seemed like hours, Snape barged into the room and ordered Draco to go to see Piper. Draco rose up quickly and ran as fast as he could past Snape, and up to the Hospital wing, almost knocking some girl's books out of her arms.
When he finally reached the entrance, Draco slammed the double doors open and gasped at what he saw..
Piper was lying on one of the beds in the room. Madame Pomfrey was covering her with a white sheet. Draco couldn't help it, but he could feel tears streaking down his face.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Malfoy, but there is nothing we could do to revive her." said Professor McGonagall.
"W - what happened to her?" said Draco, choking on almost every word.
"She was stabbed in the back. I covered up the wound with a spell. I'm so sorry dear." said Pomfrey.
She walked over to Draco and hugged him in a motherly fashion. Draco kept on crying and watched McGonagall and Dumbledore (who had just walked into the room) take Piper away on a stretcher.
