Humm . my flu is getting better now . But my mum tells me all the time to take a rest . But of course I can't help myself to finished this chapter ! So . enjoy !
Chapter 3 : " I Owe You My Life. "
Hermione was there of course , outside of the forbidden forest , according to their agreement yesterday . Her gaze pointed to that forest . Seemed like quite vivid inside it , not dangerous at all . Hermione felt that nothing to worry about that place , even to step into it .
" Quite good , actually . "
Her inner voice said , amazed with the seeing of that forest from a far . Its trees was covered by yellow and red , some of them had out of leaves completely . This forest looked gracious and lively . She imagined ; what were the inhabitants of this forest doing now ; the beautiful unicorns and the lovely wood fairies .
She just couldn't wait to step in there , so she moved her gaze to the green field of Hogwarts , and what she was searching for was there . A small figure from a far walked directly to her direction , crossing the field of green grass . His silvery blonde hair shone brightly , his stride was fast and steady , so that just in a few seconds , Draco Malfoy has arrived right in front of her. But something made Hermione laugh effortlessly ; Draco wore the complete Quidditch uniform . He looked green from shoulder to the bottom of his feet . But she had to admit , that uniform was match for him more than anyone else . It matched perfectly with his pale skin and golden silvery glow from his hair .
" Malfoy , we are here to find red caxalix . not ..snitch . ? "
His fingers moved suddenly to the pocket of his robe , pulled out something that glowing silvery , its shape was round just like galleon , with silver chain on the top of it . A pocket-watch . Hermione eyed it with a lot of curiosity . There's so many relief on it ; dragons , snakes , and many other things that she couldnot see clearly . But suddenly , Draco's palm hide it from her sight , right when he catched her attention to it . He looked back to her with an unreadable expression , and then put that thing back into his pocket .
" Slytherin will have a quidditch practice within two hours . I will go there right after this . "
He answered Hermione .
" Practice !? This is only few days before winter ! "
" Yes . Is that bothering you , or what !? "
Said Draco , confused when he saw the wrinkles from her forehead .
" No . Of course . But I think only the Quidditch captain from Slytherin that be able to force his team to practice until they are freezing to death . "
Hermione said , looked at Draco with disbelief .
" I think that is my business . And we better find that snake immediately , because I don't want to do this for the second time ."
He spat , then starting to walk into the Forbidden Forest , Hermione followed him .
She couldn't help but smiled happily . The scenery inside it was really more magnificent than it looked from a far . Far above them , the tall and slight trees rose up to the blue sky , its leaves shone gold and red . When the winds came , they fell roundabout them , just like the golden rain that amazing everyone that see it .
" You will have a big lump on your forehead if you keep walking like that , granger . "
Said Draco , eyeing Hermione that kept on lifting her head to the sky , enjoying the scenery that maybe would not come two times in her life .
" You can tell me if that's going to happen . "
She answered shortly , kept on walking , but now she was starting to look for the red-caxalix , hoped that they would coil around its branches . Draco followed her , trying to enjoy the magic of nature that surrounding him . Maybe that girl was right . He almost never felt relax like this , enjoying the fresh air and bright sunshine . Almost all of his time past with study , Quidditch practice , searching for anyone else's weakness with two idiot trolls that everyone call his friends . And the last thing ; wasting time in his dark and cold common room .
Almost more than one hour they searched with surrounded the side of the forest , but it was hopeless . They found nothing .
" It's enough . "
Said Draco abruptly , then took a break , sat down and leaned his back on a big oak tree . He lifted up one of his feet , and placed his right hand on it . His face didn't look happy at all .
" That old git lied to us ! There's nothing about that bloody snake around here . "
Hermione surprised . She never supposed to think that Draco would call Snape ; his favourite teacher like that . But at last she realized , that he would swear to everyone that he wanted to . Whoever that person is . Hermione followed him , sat on the fallen leaves . They felt like a pillow , soft and comfort . And then , with an accident , she caught Draco in her sight . He was raising his head now , but his eyes were closed . He breathed gently , blew his white breath through the air . What she had seen in past six years was the always-frown-his-forehead-Draco Malfoy , smirking all the bloody time .
But now she realized , that Draco Malfoy was not a repulsive boy at all . He had a perfect blonde hair , silvery gray eyes , an amazing aristocratic cheekbones and gorgeous pointed face . He had make himself looked horrible for six years ! . What a pity . And then something interesting pushed her to stand up and came closer to it . Right on the oak tree that they sat on , there's a carving of some words ;
BILLY - ZELDA
" You find the snake ? "
Asked draco , stood up too and came closer to Hermione .
" What is that !? Billy Zelda !? What a funny name . "
Hermione was laughing hardly now , adding the maroon of her pale cheeks by the cold .
" That's not a name of one person . It's two . A couple , I think ! "
Draco looked at her and the carving one by one , still looked bewildered .
" My mother and father do it once . long time ago . They said , if a couple carve their name on a tree, their relationship will last forever , grow up bigger and stronger just like the tree . "
Draco laughed abruptly .
" Stupid muggle thing . "
" But it's true , you know !? My mum and dad , for example ! "
Draco smirked at her , considered that she was crazy .
" I can't understand you people ! You can believe this stupid thing , but never believe that magic even exist ! Weird . "
" I don't know either about that ."
She answered him , then rub the carvings softly with her fingers . One by one .
" But I know one person that believes about magic and always wants to know about my experiences in Hogwarts ! " , she added , her eyes soften , seemed like her mind fly away to another place , far away from there .
" Who ? "
Draco couldn't hide his curiosity , who can make this girl shows a soft expression like that ? " That person is my - "
She suddenly stopped her words , when a rustling sound heard from their back . They turned quickly , pulled out their wand . Then a hiss met their gaze in one point , where a big snake hissed to them , inclined its shiny green body .
Draco could not say anything , just looked at it , amazed by its beauty . That snake was the most beautiful snake he had ever seen ; its dark green skin shines brightly , added with its silver lower skin ; that snake had a enchanting beauty for Draco .
" You will be the one of my collection . "
He said to that snake , then walked towards it quickly , like he had been spelled .
" MALFOY ! ARE YOU CRAZY !!? "
Hermione ran to catch him , but he didn't hear whatever she had said at all . He just kept on walking towards that green species . But of course that snake wouldn't give up that easy and ended up in Malfoys living room like a fool . It hissed wildly to him for the last time , then inclined its body, opened its mouth widely , showed up its 2-inches-long canine tooth , ready to kill its enemy . And right at that time , Hermione pushed Draco away , made him bump to the ground .
" Avada ivaraska ! "
She yelled , And some white shiny light come out from her wand straight to the snake . It fluttered wildly , and in few seconds burned into ashes . Hermione sighed , felt relieved . Her heartbeat was still beating in her chest wildly . If she late just a few seconds , that 2-inches-long-canine tooth must have burned into her feet right now . She turned her back to face Draco .
" WHAT THE HELL are you doing !!? "
Draco yelled heatedly , the snake that he adored now was not more than ashes . Hermione stared back at him with a disbelief .
" What the hell am I doing !!? That snake has a 2-inches-long-poisoned- canine tooth !! the poisoned rare species animal !! So what do you think I should doing !? Just stand there and watch it eats you in instance !? I just saved your life , and all that you can say is ' What the hell are you doing !!!? "
Her anger was really burned this time .
" So . what do you expect ? A gratitude ? "
He answered her coldly , again with his unreadable expression .
" I should have know . "
She said angrily , then turned to walk back to Hogwarts castile . But she didn't hear any stride from her back ; Draco still stayed at that place . Hermione turned her head and saw him there ; he bowed to the ground , looked like searching something very important , because the big worried showed up on his face . She could just leave him there , and Draco malfoy would never come back tomorrow , because he had been an excellent dinner for some wild animals or else ; at least that was what deserved him for Hermione . But her feeling wouldn't let her be with others difficulties , even if that person was Draco Malfoy . So she walked back towards him , then asked .
" You lose something ? "
She asked him , tried that her voice didn't heard too kind and gruff either .
Draco stood up and looked at her , stunned . Why did she come back ? Why does she care ?
" What are you looking for !? "
" M-my pocket watch . "
Then Hermione followed exactly what Draco had done , bowed and looked for his missing important thing . Draco dropped it when she pushed him aside before . She felt a little responsible for that. Meanwhile , lot of questions rage in Draco's head . She hates him , doesn't she ? What's the use to help him ? For all this time she and her two friends always wanted horrible things happen to him, do , they ?
But all of it stopped suddenly , when he heard a scream ; Hermione. He turned and saw her there , about ten meters from him , attacking a snake with her spell ; a green-silver snake . Just extremely same with the previous one . Draco ran towards her as fast as he can , but Hermione had won the war once again ; that snake fluttered , and then lied dead on the ground .
" There's two-of them .. "
Hermione said . But there's something wrong with the way she talked . Her voice is unsteady . She looked painful . Her breath was husky , blew heavy white smoke in front of his face .
" Did the snake bite you !!? "
He asked in panic , shook her shoulders , because that girl had started to lose her consciousness, her eyes started to close , cold sweat filled her forehead .
" My feet . "
She said for the last time , before her sight blurred from the pain that covered all over her body .
" GRANGER ! WAKE UP !! "
She could hear Draco's deep voice ringing in her ears , before everything went dark and she's fainted .
" Shit ! "
He spat , then raised her up and lifted her in his arms . But something felt to the ground from inside of her palm ; -- His silver pocket-watch . --
* * * * *
" Snake bitten !!? "
Madam Pomfrey screamed in shock , after heard Draco's explanation right after he lied Hermione in one of the empty bed in hospital wing . It didn't matter really , because that room is very empty of people , only the three of them exist there .
" Yes . I think it bit her feet . "
" What it is like !? The snake ? "
" Green-silver . Has a very long teeth . Almost two inches . "
He answered quickly , glanced at Hermione , who was still unconscious , sweats came out more and more from her neck and forehead . Her face was so pale , her lips was almost blue . Madam Pomfrey stuck out her shoes and socks quickly , showed up two bitten mark with a half cm diameter , started to swollen and bluish . Draco tried to remove his gaze , didn't want to look at it any longer . It made his heart didn't fell good at all .
" O , God . "
Madam Pomfrey sighed unhappily , seemed very worry until looked nearly wanted to cry .
" Follow me , Mr.Malfoy ! Quickly . ! "
She said , brought him in front of a medicine rack that full of bottles of potions . She grabbed one of them , the light purple liquid one , and . a slight knife .
" I need a bit of your blood for her . Do you mind ? "
" No . But what for - "
His question answered immediately . after the knife touched his forefinger , Madam Pomfrey patched his blood in that bottle , which transformed light to dark purple . And in few seconds his forefinger had bandaged properly , his blood stopped from rushing out .
" Because you are pureblooded , I need your blood for this potion . Sorry , Mr.Malfoy . You can see her later if you want to . But now please don't bother me . "
She pushed him with an impatient tone , took him to the door and shut it right in front of his face, left him alone with his anxiety and fears .
----- Fears that he owed his life to this muggle born girl . --------
