Chapter Five: The Snake

His weight was beginning to be a problem, as she felt her body swaying into the opposite wall. She glanced at him and gasped, he was hunched over, it looked as though he'd passed out.

"Oh no, don't do this to me, Draco. God, please wake up!"

She sniffled, holding him as she slid into the wall, crying while he lay on her lap, silently. Transparent tears dropped slowly on to his cheek, and dripped down off his chin, and to his neck. She tried to stand up, but couldn't. She had to get him to the hospital wing, by any means necessary.

"Wingardium Leviosa." She levitated him to the hospital wing and set him down on the bed, slowly and sat beside him. He opened his eyes and looked at her, and he smiled, running a pale finger through her hair then lifting her slowly on to his lap, and sat up, nuzzling her neck.

"How are you?"

"Fine, a little dizzy...How did I get here?"

"I levitated you here..."

"I always knew you were good at that." He smiled as she faced him; he didn't look so bad now. His eyes danced slowly, a mixture of delight and sorrow, but still they twinkled.

"Well, you look better then when I first found you..." She smiled slowly, as she wrapped some strands of silvery blond hair in her fingers. "Well thanks for that dear...I'll just remember that when something happens again..." He smirked slowly.

"Tell me who attacked you..." She said, sitting down beside him.

His eyes grew suddenly cold, then full of sorrow in an instant. "I cant, you'll be in to deep..." He lowered his eyes.

"Tell me please, you've got to."

"I told you no, don't push me." He grasped her arm slowly.

" Listen to me, I can't tell you, then you'll be in to deep with my father." He went pale.
