Disclaimer: I do not own the great Harry Potter idea but I do own my special characters that I have put in the Harry Potter series so please ask to borrow them.

A.N.- Hey I just want to take this time to thank all of the people that have been sending reviews. I love them all! Thanks so much and don't be afraid to send my your thoughts on my story because I want to hear them, good or bad, I don't care what type of review it is I just want to know what you think so I can continue or change depending on what my readers want. Thanks in advance! Now on to business, in the last chapter you found out many things about the Flamer family's strength and in the chapter before you learned about their problems and in this chapter you will learn about their feelings about things. How does Hawk make it through her sickness and how do her siblings cope with the fact that they could lose her and hope does Draco react and deal with all this. Also what happened with Hermione and Harry that night when Harry and Hawk had to switch rooms? All this to come in this next chapter, Draco's Decision and His Feelings for Hawk. Actually the title has changed to Draco's Decision and His Feelings for a Hawk.

Another little note- you guys don't really know what the Flamer family looks like so I have provided a little psychical description of each for your convince so you won't be surprised about some things that deal with the Flamer family's looks:

Hawk- 5'6'' and weighs 120 lbs., very psychically fit (from being one of the Gryffindor Beaters) with lean muscle all along her entire body. Long light brown hair with natural built in golden highlights that goes past her butt when let down but she wears it in a ponytail or bun most of the time. She has forest green eyes and holds her body like a model most of the time. She is also very tough even though she looks dainty; it takes a lot to make her fall.Gryffindor. Age-18, Birthday- March 2

Eagle- 5'3' and weighs 100 lbs., very psychically fit (from being the other Gryffindor Beater) with a muscular body. Dark brown hair that goes down to his shoulder that he keeps in a ponytail. He has light green eyes and has a bit of a skateboarder look even though he is a pure skateboarder he barely looks like one. He is like his older sister when it comes to fighting, he looks like he will fall easily but he won't. Gryffindor. Age-15, Birthday- June 23

Kitty- 5'2'' and weighs 99 lbs., very dainty but has a bit of muscle on her body from being a ballerina during the summer and before she came to Hogwarts. Blood red hair that is in the middle of her back that she wears down a lot, she rarely wears it up when she doesn't have to. She has bright gold eyes that are shaped slightly like a cat's but can glow in the dark some of the time. Unlike her older siblings she is very dainty and cannot fight well so that makes both Eagle and Hawk look after her with such zeal that no one dares to harm her in anyway unless they are completely dumb. She is very social and is very popular with her fellow students. Hawk isolates herself a little but more than Eagle who has a large circle of friends but not as big as Kitty. Ravenclaw. Age-14, Birthday- December 18

Falcon- 4'1'' and weighs 60 lbs., very small and fragile but very hyperactive and full of energy it is hard to believe that she has not broken yet. She, like her other siblings, has china doll features (not as defined on Eagle but they're there) and is very beautiful (handsome in the fact of Eagle). She has the same color hair as Hawk but with a sprinkle of red that you can only see if the light is just right. Her eyes are a mix of Hawk's and Eagle's eyes (forest and light green) witch ends up a natural green that you see on grass or a tree. Her hair is nearly as long as Hawk's whose goes past her butt about two inches. Falcon's hair goes past her waist about an inch and she keeps it in a braid most of the time. Her body is very petite and thin that she doesn't seem to have any muscles but she does. Hawk has been training her to be a Chaser and hopes that she will be on the Gryffindor Quidditch team soon because she is the best Chaser that Hawk has seen in a long time. Gryffindor. Age-11, Birthday- February 3

Okay so now you know what the Flamer family looks like so there should be no more confusion. Hope you are still there for this chapter witch is chock full of emotions that are running high so it is, hopefully, going to be a good chapter that will fill in some more gasps of the personalities of the rest of the Flamer children. Enjoy!

Chapter 11: Draco's Decision and his Feelings for a Hawk

Hawk was burning up. Draco could hardly believe that a person could feel this hot.

'What am I going to do? She is really sick and needs to get to the hospital wing immediately. What am I going to do? She has helped me before and now it is my turn but what will Potter and Granger think if they see me carrying her out of her room without seeing me go in? Oh who cares what they think? But what will my father think? He is the last Death Eater that has not been put in Azkaban, unfortunately. He would be appalled that I would help a Mudblood especially one I have strong feelings for. In that case I will help her if it would appall my father but not just that but because I have some feelings I can't explain for her! Okay that settles it, I'm getting her to the hospital, now!' battled Draco in his head trying to decide whether he should help or not.

He threw back the covers that were on top of Hawk. She was still wearing the same clothes as earlier and they were badly damaged. Many of her wounds were getting worse because of the heat from the fever and the blankets on top of them. Draco braced himself before he lifted her but he nearly fell back from the force of his lift because he didn't need as much strength as he had expected. Hawk was surprisingly light for her size. She was 5'6'' and had muscle running all down her body that was very lean but she weighed no more that 120-he guess.

Once he got back his balance he ran out of the door still holding her in his arms. Her head was lying on his shoulder and she unconsciously snuggled down into his arms. This surprised him but he still ran down the stairs to the Head common room. Harry and Hermione both stood up when he entered with Hawk in his arms. They had been talking about something but Draco didn't care at this point. Harry was getting angry and he had to make sure nothing happened to him so he could get Hawk some help.

"Malfoy! What are you doing with her? What have you done to her?" yelled Harry with Hermione standing in front of him acting as a wall that he could not pass for all their sakes.

"Look Potter, she is sick. That display of power earlier really whipped her out and the wounds on her body are getting worse. She nearly died and she is going to die soon if I don't get her to the nurse so if you two would give me a hand we could save her life with time to spare," said Malfoy as he squared off with the other two with Hawk securely in his arms.

"Why would you care, Malfoy?" asked Hermione suspiciously.

"That doesn't matter now, Granger. The only thing that matters is that we get her some help soon. Now are you going to help me or not?" asked Draco as he turned to leave. Harry and Hermione just looked at each other, nodded, and led the way so that no one would get in Draco's way. They both made sure no one was in the way while Draco carried Hawk.

"Someone is going to have to tell her brother and sisters," commented Harry as he got a Ravenclaw third year to step aside.

"I'll do that. I know someone who is good friends with Kitty and I can get to Gryffindor in a snap. I'll go get the other Flamers but know that Fally and maybe Kitty will be a little hysterical," warned Hermione as she ran of toward Gryffindor tower leaving Harry and Draco alone with the dying Hawk.

- - -

It took no time at all to get Hawk to the hospital wing. Once she was there Harry stood by her bed making sure that nothing happened until Hermione got there with Hawk's siblings. Draco was sitting on the other side of Hawk's bed watching her like her name. He barely took his eyes off her porcelain face that was now paler that what it used to be. Harry was also watching Draco with suspension. Why would Draco Malfoy be concerned for a Mudblood? Harry was about to ask this question when Hermione burst through the curtain that was drawn around Hawk's bed with the rest of the Flamer family.

Kitty was trying her best to keep Fally from jumping on the bed and shaking Hawk. She was also trying not to lose control of her powers so that they wouldn't be any trouble. Eagle was standing next to Harry just looking at his older sister, his only older sister.

"Harry, Hermione, Malfoy will you leave us so that we can.... can you just leave please?" asked Eagle getting frustrated at himself for showing his emotions at a time like this. He was on the verge of tears and his sisters were both crying. Kitty trying to hold back the whaling Fally but she was crying nonetheless. Harry and Hermione nodded and left but Draco lingered.

He stood up and went over to Eagle. He put a hand on his shoulder and nodded at him before he spoke.

"You have a strong sister. You are strong too and I see that you get a lot of your strength from her but I just have this to say to you. You must not let her be your strength line or you lifeline. She also has her weaknesses that she does not show to you three," by this time he had all of their attention and the girls had calmed down enough to listen but they were still crying. "She nearly died trying to protect you and she is dying everyday, to be strong for you. She has protected you from your father, yourselves, and herself. She has her own problems but she burdens only herself with them, never you. You must find your own strength in each other and not just her. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying to stop believing in her I'm just saying that it is time that you all started taking the blame. You see she was also grieving when your mother died but she could not grieve until your powers were safe and back under control and she nearly died doing that. All I have to say is believe in the entire Flamer family and not just one part of it. Oh and I will be right outside the curtain so if she wakes up, yell for me."

After he finished speaking he gave them a smirk and left them to their thoughts. He went and stood where he promised, right outside the curtain.

"He was right. We do need to stop depending on Hawk for everything. I mean she is leaving this year then I will be the oldest. I need to learn that spell and soon," said Eagle as he looked at his sisters. They both had guilty faces on and were about to cry again. Eagle's look of determination softened and her opened his arms for his sisters. They gladly went into their older brother's arms and stayed there until Hawk woke up.

When Hawk finally did awake, her siblings had made a pack to not depend on her completely and depend on the family as a whole more often than none. At first she did not know where she was but she quickly recognized the hospital wing. She suddenly sat up but found immediately that she had made a bad decision. She cringed in pain as she her brother yell out, "She's awake!" She then heard the sound of pounding feet and the whoosh of fabric. Suddenly she saw many faces around her at one time and someone trying to push her back down but not succeeding.

"Hawk please lye back down or your going to worsen you condition," said one of the nurses. Hawk look around the faces recognizing all of them as her brother, her two sisters, Harry, Hermione, and was it Draco. They were all shaking their head, agreeing with the nurse that was telling Hawk to lye back down. Reluctantly Hawk laid back down which made the nurse go away. Fally was so relived that she threw herself on her eldest sister before anyone could stop her. Fally landed right on one of Hawk's many cracked ribs. She only cringed but she was in a world of pain and it nearly made her vomit. She was dizzy but she could still she her sister's worried and yet relived.

"Oh Hawk I am so sorry. Did I hurt you? Are you okay? What's wrong?" asked a frantic Fally. She was still streaming questions of 'are you alright?' as Hawk moved her to the side and sat up. This move caused her much pain but it pained her more to see her littlest sister upset. She just sat up and brought Fally into a hug and just shushed her as she started to cry. Out of the corner of her eye Hawk saw Kitty start to cry. She opened her arm and let Kitty join her two sisters on Hawk's bed. Eagle not wanting to be left out went over and squeezed in right beside Hawk on the bed. Her put Kitty on his lap but still let her cling to Hawk. He put his arm around Hawk and she gave his a kiss on the head.

Unknown to the family that was having a reunion on Hawk's bed, Draco motioned Harry and Hermione out of the alcove. He told them to stay put while he went to find the nurse that had Hawk medical report.

Then family just sat there until everyone stopped crying. Hawk just sat there holding her brother and sisters. Suddenly Fally looked up at her and started the conversation that everyone wanted to have.

"Hawk, how come you let us depend on you like that? You would never let us take some of the sorrow in the family, why? Are you scared that we will get hurt?" Fally asked these questions with such conviction that Hawk felt that she was going to crying again.

"Well you do know what father did to us and I didn't want anyone to hurt you because of what he did. If no one controls your powers when they go haywire then you run the risk of killing yourself. I do what I do because I never want anyone of you loosing control without me near to help. I don't want to run the risk of loosing you again," said Hawk. Speaking the truth, finally, Hawk started to cry because what she was saying was true. It would destroy her if any of her siblings were killed and it would be even worse if she knew that it was mostly her fault because she could've helped but she was too late.

"Well, you just have to know that we are going to start taking some of the load. As soon as you are well I would like to continue our training. I need to learn that spell so that when you leave this year, I can take care of any outbursts. I will also teach Kitty as soon as you leave so that if I can get the job done somehow then she can," declared Eagle.

"And I will try to control my emotions better. I will also try not to keep then to myself by either telling my friends or my family," declared Kitty with I weak smile. She was a little embarrassed about it. Hawk saw this and just patted her on the head and gave her a loving smile that said it was okay.

"And I will try to keep both of them from getting over burdened and uptight by making them laugh when I feel it is necessary! I will also get into the Gryffindor team so that I can strengthen up so I can fend for myself when people pick on me for being small!" declared Fally showing of her muscles making her older siblings laugh very hard.

"And if she is having trouble fending for herself, we will come and help. Right Eagle?" said Kitty as she tackled Fally. Eagle nodded and picked both of them up. They were hanging upside down laughing their heads off.

"And we all decided this on our own. We will come to you because, face it, you're the oldest but not as often and only when we truly need you and can't depend on any of the others for help. You are our older sister, nearly our mother, but we don't want to be the death of you," said Eagle as he got serious and put his sisters down.

"Okay I understand. Come here guys," said Hawk as she opened her arms for a big, group hug. They all took it at the same time that this time Hawk had to cry out in pain.

"Gosh why am I in such pain?" asked Hawk as she let go of her brother and sisters, doubling over in pain.

"I have the answer to that," declared Draco as he, Harry, and Hermione entered her alcove.

"Draco..." Hawk whispered.

"It turns out that your little stunt caused more damage than you would believe it could. Aside from cutting up and bruising you body nearly beyond repair, even for magic, you suffered: three broken ribs, four cracked ribs, one pulled wriest muscle, a strained ankle, you infected half of you open wounds because you were sweating under a heavy comforter and a fever, you have a major gash on you right arm which if I'm not mistaken your wand arm, and you suffered a 2nd degree concussion. In a nutshell, you banged yourself up nearly beyond repair. It was lucky you didn't die," commented Draco as he left and Hawk saw the lightest bit of water around his eyes. That entire time Fally had clung onto her older sister.

"Okay, it is nearly time to go so Hawk you have to stay here tonight and unless the nurse says other wise, you cannot go to classes tomorrow. Come on you three let's get going. Hawk needs her rest if she wants to get better," said Hermione as she gave Hawk a hug good bye and motioned the Flamer family minus one out and back to their dorms. Harry lingered just a little to ask Hawk a question.

"Hawk, about what I found this morning, what was that?" asked Harry as her sat down in the chair next to Hawk.

"Oh I uh... all you need to know is that nothing happened. All I did was fix Draco's head and tell him what my father did to my family. I guess I got a little caught up in the story and started to cry. I laid my head on his head and he comforted me until I fell asleep and the next thing I know is you yelling for us to get up and what we though we were doing," said Hawk with a little smile on her face.

"Just tell me one more thing... Do you like him?" asked Harry a little nervously. If she said yes then it would confirm his suspicions of why she had never called him Draco but Malfoy until this year.

It took Hawk only a few seconds before she said, "Yes I do, and I have something to ask you mister. Do you like Mione?" she asked.

"Yes, why?" asked Harry with I worried look on his face.

"Oh nothing, just thinking that you should ask her to Hogsmeade," said Hawk with an evil look in her eyes.

"I would if I didn't know what she has been through," said Harry lowering his head.

"Oh with Krum?" said Hawk. This shocked Harry. He looked up with I 'How did you know about that?' look on his face. "Oh don't look so stunned. Do you really think that she wouldn't tell her best friend about something like that? Don't you worry about that, just ask her," said Hawk as Hermione came and motioned for Harry to follow her. He stood up slowly and looked at Hawk. She gave him a wink and he smiled.

"Hey Mione, wait up a sec," yelled Harry as he ran after her.

- - -

Later that night Hawk woke up to something stirring at her right. She looked over to the chair by her bed and was surprised to find it occupied. Someone had his or her head on her bed and that someone was asleep. What really surprised her was that this someone had blonde-white hair and a striking resemblance to Draco. The thing next her stirred again this time waking up. It was Draco!

"Draco, what are you doing here?" asked Hawk in a hushed voice.

"I didn't want to loose you without knowing. I snuck back in so that I could be here when you woke up. I wanted to tell you that I was the one who got you here. You were dying in your bed and I got you here so you wouldn't die," said Draco as he took her hand and sat on the edge of her bed.

"I won't die on you, I couldn't. Thank you so much Draco. You saved me in so many ways. How can I ever repay you?" asked Hawk with the utmost conviction.

"Well I do have something I want to ask you," said Draco, as his eyes got hopeful.

"Ask away my knight in shining armor," she said, mocking the moment with a muggle saying.

"Will you, Hawk Puma Flamer, go on the Hogsmeade trip as my date and be my girlfriend from this...night forward?" asked Draco using her entire name that he weaseled out of Eagle. His eyes were full of hope that she would say yes and worry about being shot down by the woman he loved. His heart was in her hands.

A.N.- Okay I know you are going to hate me for the cliffhanger but I had to so that you readers will come back for more. Well I hoped you enjoyed this chapter and I hope you will stay tuned for Chapter 12: Hogsmeade, Dateless or Not? Choa!
