Tonks and the three Gryffindors rushed to the castle, with the stretcher carrying Draco in front of them. He's hand was hanging on the side of the stretcher, and blood was all over the spot where his head lay. He was getting paler and paler by the minute. They had to hurry.
When they entered the castle, a lot of the students were still on the Entrance Hall, blocking their way. Tonks and the trio were struggling with the crowd and were really getting frustrated. As if planned, Harry, Ron and Hermione all took their wands out and pointed it on their throats and said, "Sonorus"
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" bellowed Harry
"MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" yelled Ron
"CLEAR THE WAY!" shrieked Hermione
...All at the same time. Everyone jumped and quickly scrambled away. The trio said the counter-spell and made their way to the hospital wing, Tonks and Draco's stretcher on the lead. When they reached the mahogany doors of the wing, Harry and Ron pushed it open, Hermione yelled for Madam Promfrey and Tonks floated Draco to a bed. As soon as he's head touched the pillow, it turned crimson red. Tonks was starting to get worried.
"Where's the matron! He needs help now!" Tonks said, panic in her voice, rushing to Draco's side, conjuring a cloth and trying to staunch the bleeding.
"Madam Promfrey!" Hermione yelled once again, now doing the same thing as Tonks. It seemed to be not working for the cloth was red with blood; just seconds after it touched the wound. Draco's hair was already caked with blood, making it look brown instead of blond. Finally the matron came, rushing towards them.
"What happened here?" catching sight of the bleeding Slytherin. She immediately set to work taking a look at his head. She cleaned it and bandaged it, it was still bleeding but not as bad as before. She looked at Tonks and the Gryffindors.
"Why didn't you Enervate him?" Madam Promfrey said sighing, taking out her wand, pointing it at the Slytherin and muttering, "Enervate". Then, she added in a quiet voice, "He got struck on the head one or two times, giving him a concussion, if he doesn't wake up now or the next couple of hours, that means his in coma"
Tonks and Hermione gasped, as Harry and Ron stayed quiet. They can't believe they didn't think of it, they should've when they saw the heavily bleeding on his head, and everybody knows head wounds can be concussions.
Madam Promfrey continued to check on his other injuries and bruises. When she was done, she turned to the group again.
"He has 2 broken ribs and 3 cracked ones, a bruised jaw and bruises all over. It seemed like Mr. Malfoy here either got into a fight, or got attacked and beaten up by someone, did anyone of you saw what happened?" she asked
Harry, Hermione and Ron nodded. "Yes and No. We were just walking behind the bar called 'Hog's Head' and he just came flying out of the alleyway all bloody and bruised" said Hermione slowly
"Then seconds after... the Dark Mark appeared right above us" said Harry
"After Tonks came and here we are" said Ron
The matron nodded and faced Tonks, "Tonks, can you go to the headmaster's office and inform him of what happened." Tonks nodded and made her way to Dumbledore's office, giving Draco one last looked with a sad expression on his face.
"Now, you three, can you stay here and watch on Mr. Malfoy here for any signs of waking up, while I prepare potions for him incase he does" she told the trio. They looked quiet reluctant to do so, so she added, "I know you three and Mr. Malfoy aren't in good terms since you laid eyes on each other, but it's the most decent thing to do for a fellow school mate." The trio then nodded and the matron made her way to her office.
"So, why do you think Tonks is so worried about Malfoy?" Ron suddenly blurted out
"I have no idea," Harry answered
"Don't you guys remember?" Hermione said, sitting on one of the empty beds beside Malfoy
"Remember?" Harry asked. Hermione looked at him skeptically, then she sighed
"Well, when we were at 12 Grimmauld Place, and S-Sirius showed the Nobel House of Black's Family Tree, well, Tonks was in it and so was the Malfoys right? Her and Malfoy were connected in someway like, distant cousins or something" Hermione finished.
"Oh..." was the only thing Ron can say
There was silence between them, until they heard shuffling between the sheets. The three looked around to see Malfoy kicking and flinging his arms, getting himself entangled in the sheets. It looked like he was trying to protect himself from an invisible force that was attacking him. He was turning his head left and right, putting pressure on the wound making it bleed again, soaking the bandage. The trio rushed to his side.
"Malfoy! Wake up!" Harry yelled. Ron was shaking him, only lightly. But nothing worked.
"Let's put a body-bind on him" Ron said, taking out his wand, Harry nodded and did the same thing.
"No! That will hurt him more, and remember he's already hurt," Hermione explained. The guys sighed they continued the yelling and light shaking, but it still didn't work.
Hermione sighed and wrung her arms around Malfoy's shaking figure. Ron and Harry were shocked.
"Hermione what are you doing!" Ron yelled, furious.
"Sh! I'm trying to make him relax" Hermione said quietly. "Shhh... it okay, calm down... breath... come on Malfoy... breath... relax..." Hermione continued saying soothing words to him as he slowly calmed down, and settled back on the bed, his face covered with sweat and breathing heavily. Hermione put the covers on him, up to his chin and sighed.
"See, I told you it will work!" Hermione said triumphantly
The guys nodded and the doors of the hospital wing opened. Tonks and the headmaster came in walking towards them. At the same time, Madam Promfrey came out of her office.
"Any signs of waking up?" the matron asked as soon as she reached the bed. Harry, Ron and Hermione nodded.
"He was having some kind of nightmare" Hermione said
"And his head was bleeding again" Harry piped out
Hearing this, Madam Promfrey checked Draco's head wound once again and re-bandaged it. She then laid different kinds of potions on the bedside table and went back to her office once again. Dumbledore and Tonks approached the group.
"Tonks explained to me what happened" the headmaster said, he looked at the Gryffindors in the eye and added, "30 points for each of you for aiding a fellow student and thinking fast even in times of panic"
Harry, Ron and Hermione couldn't help but smile and look grateful at the award that they received. Tonks smiled and winked at them.
"Will do the staff a favor and watch Mr. Malfoy here for us as we talk to the other students and Madam Promfrey do her job without fretting about Mr. Malfoy" the headmaster asked.
The smiles on their faces faded, but they nodded slowly. The headmaster smiled at them greatfully and turned his attention to Tonks. "You might want to be go and head back to the Ministry but first why don't you go to the Headquarters first and inform the other members about what happened"
Tonks nodded, and bid Harry, Ron and Hermione goodbye. She then turned and made her way to the door, when it burst open, revealing a very distrungled Snape.
