Malfoy looked down the roof. Did Harry fall yet? Malfoy herd a scream, was that when he fell? He wasn't sure. Malfoy hopped over the sill and slid down the roof. He looked down, and sure enough, there was Harry.
"Harry! Grab my hand!" Malfoy leaned over as far as he could and reached down for him. Harry looked up at him, and grabbed his hand with his bad arm. Harry pulled himself up, and Malfoy pulled. Harry was being lifted up onto the roof. He grabbed the shingles and tried harder. Malfoy got flung back and Harry fell onto the roof. He lied there, breathing. He heard Malfoy call his name and he passed out.
Someone was slapping his face. He heard his name being called; why was someone slapping his face? He thought why he was laying there. It was hard, and very bumpy. The wind ruffled his untidy hair. Was he outside? He remembered what had happened. He opened his eyes, looking up at Malfoy. His scar twinged, and his body felt numb. He sat up slowly, Malfoy helping. He rubbed his eyes to clear his vision. The stars were glowing brightly and the moon was full.
"Harry, are you alright?" Malfoy calling him, 'Harry'? He must've been dreaming.
"I'm...fine....," Harry stood up, and his knees began to buckle. Malfoy supported him before he fell.
"Hey! Hold on. Let me help you..." Now Harry knew he must've been dreaming. Draco Malfoy, help Harry Potter? That'd be the front page of the Daily Prophet, that would. They slowly walked down the Astronomy tower.
"How are you now? Can you get to your common room by yourself?" Malfoy asked him. Harry nodded, and Malfoy slowly let go of Harry. His head swam, but he thought he could make it. Malfoy started to walk the other way.
"Draco?" Harry could barely speak. His voice was scratchy and squeaky."Thank you." Harry started to limp away.
"No problem, Harry, no problem," he whispered to himself. He turned the corner and disappeared. Harry walked silently to the Gryffindor common room.
'Had this night all been a setup? Had Voldemort told Draco to make me believe that he was on my side? Did Draco tell me to come to the Astronomy tower so Voldemort could make me jump?' he thought to himself. 'No, that's not it, if Draco was in on this, he wouldn't have saved me. Draco telling me this was just a coincidence.' Harry didn't realize he was at the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Dear me, you look absolutely dreadful, dear!" she exclaimed. Harry nodded at said the password.
"Venomous Tentacula," he said and the portrait swung open. He walked tiredly inside, only to be confronted by Ron. He was pale, and his freckles stood out more than ever.
"Harry! Do you have any idea how worried I was? You've been gone for over an hour! What took-" Harry's legs gave out and fell into Ron's arms. "-Harry? Harry, what's wrong? He dueled you! I knew he would!" Ron grabbed his chin, facing Harry to look at him. "Harry? What happened up there?" Harry's eyelids drooped. Ron went slowly out of focus. Ron shook his shoulders.
"Harry, you need to tell me what happened! Then you can sleep!" Harry's eyes tried to focus, eventually, he could see Ron almost clearly.
"No...not Malfoy...it was..." Harry lost focus. The last thing he heard was Ron screaming for him to open his eyes, and Hermione sprinting down the stairs.
A.N: Sorry the chapters are getting shorter. I've been trying to leave each one at a cliff hanger, (to keep the readers' interest :P) and it's been getting harder. If you want me to send you an E-mail when a new chapter comes out, review me and leave your E-mail or IM there. Thanx for reading!
