Chapter Three

"Beaten?" said Albus.

"Yes," Madam Promfrey took out her own wand and said "Finite Incantantum" sighing, she put her wand back to her pocket and added, "he was using the Concealment Charm at his scars and wounds" looking at the scars that appeared on Draco's body. There were long gashes that looked like it came from being whipped and black and purple bruises that looked like from punches and kicks he received. There was another kind of scars that didn't look like any other that they saw.

"Three cracked ribs and one fractured lung that will give him more difficulty in breathing, and there are more marks and scars and I don't know where it came from." Said Madam Promfrey beginning to check Draco again.

Hermione was looking at the unusal scars that they saw and realized where it came from, "the staff." she said softly.

The teachers stared at her and Snape asked "what did you say Miss Granger?"

"Its from the staff. the unusual scars. its from Lucuis Malfoy's staff." she replied nervously.

Everybody was silence as Hermione said that and after a moment of silence, the headmaster bend down to examine Draco himself.

"Yes, I'm afraid Miss Granger is quite right, but if we want to find out more, we have to wait until Mr. Malfoy awakes" said Albus sadly "We have to get him to the hospital wing fast, before he gets worse" Madam Promfrey said, standing up and conjuring a stretcher.

"Can I come with you?" Hermione said in a low voice.

Snape was about to say something, but the headmaster cut in,

"Of course, Miss Granger you can rest on the bed next to Draco" he said with a twinkle in his eye.

Hermione nodded while Snape sneered. The made their way to the hospital wing with Draco floating on a stretcher in front of them. When they reached the hospital, Madam Promfrey levitated Draco's body to one of the beds and Hermione pulled a chair to seat on Draco's side. But Madam Promfrey asked them to wait out side she patched Draco up. Dumbuldore, McGonagall, Snape and Hermione left the hospital wing and waited outside for Madam Promfrey to call them back in. Snape strode to on corner and leaned against the wall with his arms folded on his chest. McGonagall was standing with Hermione while putting her hand putting her hand on her shoulder. Dumbuldore chose to stand near the hospital wing doors.

After seems like a couple of hours, but really it's was just had been fifteen minutes, Madam Promfrey called them back in to tell them that she was finish. Hermione went as quickly as she can then settled herself on the chair she put beside Draco earlier. She looked at Draco and found herself trying to hold back more tears. Draco's breathing was still breathing rather ragged and there were scars and bruises all over his arms and his whole chest was wrapped in bandages that were exposed because his pajama top was open. She took his hand and gave it a comforting squeeze as she laid her head on Draco's bed. As soon as she hit her head on the mattress, she falls on a deep slumber her hand still holding Draco's. If anybody would look behind the two teenagers, you would see a very shocked Snape, an amused McGonagall and a smiling Dumbuldore.
