Moss Agate: Ginny uses a Moss Agate as a healing stone. While it can be used for other things this is the healing stone I use, and know how to use best. *shrugs* I write what I know, so any Witchy or New Age people out there planning on telling me I'm using the wrong stone, kindly piss off :o) as I do know what I'm talking about.
She was about to close the cabinet doors when she heard something in one of the other rooms' crash. Then another item broke this time sounding like glass.
"What on earth…?"
Ginny hurried through the back room to get to the main part of the infirmary.
'Oh I hope no one is hurt!'
Her mind filled with Quiditch players with broken bones, or some small Hufflepuff that had fallen down the stairs…oh how surprised she was when she found Draco Malfoy sitting on the floor near a medicine cabinet, rocking back and forth slightly.
She slowed immediately, and let out a breath. He was probably here to drop something off for Snape. It did strike her as odd though that he would be sitting on the floor, but dismissed it. It wasn't until she saw a puddle of blood around him that she started to panic again.
She ran toward him, and kneeled down. "Draco? Draco what's happened? Can you hear me?" she put a hand to the side of his face, and noticed it felt like he had a fever. He still hadn't looked at her, or acknowledged her presence in some way.
All of the blood was coming from a large gash in his left hand. So much blood. She had to stop the bleeding before anything else, she could find out what asinine thing he'd done later.
Jumping up she went to get a few supplies she would need. A moss agate the size of her palm, and a healing salve for starters, along with some gauze.
She knelt back down, "Draco I'm going to stop your bleeding ok?" quickly grabbing a near by towel she set it down on the small puddle of blood and set to work. First stopping the bleeding and partially healing it with her wand she'd taken out from her pocket. Then rubbing the salve over the opening, careful not to cause him too much pain, though she wasn't sure he could even feel it at any point. Finally she wrapped the gauze around his hand, tying off the end. While she was raising energy and focussing it on the wound she thought she heard him say something.
"I didn't mean to." He said quietly.
Virginia looked up. He wasn't looking at her, but at his hand, he'd been watching her work.
"What?" she asked. She wasn't sure she heard him correctly. His voice had been so low, so soft. Had he said anything at all?
"I didn't mean to do it…" this time he looked her in the eye, still speaking soft as a child's voice. His eyes were wide and his pupils dilated, in a way he looked a bit scared. "I just wanted…I wanted to look at something…but the glass was in my way…"
"It's all right Draco, don't worry about the glass." Her voice sounded like a primary school teacher's, but the only thing on her mind was that she needed to get him to a bed and find out what the hell he'd taken /this/ time. She absentmindedly ran her hands through his hair, trying to give him some kind of comfort. He leaned into her touch. "Can you stand up?"
It took her a full ten to fifteen minutes to get him over to the nearest bed, all the while she prayed to Goddess that Madame Pomfrey didn't walk in any time soon. She didn't though, luck was obviously on her side…for now any way.
She put a separating screen up around his bed so no one would see him. Then tried to get his attention, she needed to know what he'd taken and soon. The last thing she really wanted for him was to call a Professor to deal with this.
He was kind of starring off into space eyes still dilated, she put a hand on his shoulder "Draco, what did you take. I need to know what you took…do you remember? Look at me for a minute." She moved his head so he could see her. For a moment it was like he was looking through her, she might as well of not been there. But then his eyes focussed.
He smiled a small smile and put a hand to her face too, like it was a game. She was touching him so he's touching her.
She dropped her hand. So did he.
She stopped smiling. So did he.
"Draco, do you know where you are?"
He didn't say anything.
"You're in the infirmary, you're still at Hogwatrs, ok? Do you know why you're here?"
It looked as if he was going to ignore this question like he did the last one. But he reached into his pocket and handed her a slightly crumpled piece of paper.
It read:
-----------------------------------------------
Poppy,
Mr.Malfoy is not feeling well. He's had the misfortune of inhaling something in potions class. If you could please give him a spare bed to lay down and rest in for a few hours, I would be extremely grateful. Do not ask him any questions, or give him any remedies, the best thing to do is to let him sleep it off. Do not let him leave the infirmary, and I will come around later to check on him.
Thank you,
Severous

Well that was a load of bollox if she's ever heard it. Though it didn't surprise her that Snape was in on it and helping to cover up what Draco does, periodically it seemed to her. This was turning out to be more of a problem than she'd expected. How long has he been going on like this, with the money he has, and teachers willingly writing him notes…she didn't want to think of the long term effects that probably had already started.
Draco was still starring at her, but the manor in which he looked was…endearing. But in a way like a small child looking up at a sweet shop through a glass window, and no money to buy anything.
His eyes were so beautiful, and she felt lost for a moment. But her adrenaline from earlier had yet to run out, she couldn't relax until she knew what had happened.
"Draco if you don't tell me what you took I'm going to have to get a professor because I don't think I can handle this. /Please/ tell me." He wasn't even paying attention, instead he was trying to pull the bandage off his hand.
"When did you put this on? Why is it there?" he asked. She almost slapped him. And /this/ is why she dreaded having children…
"You cut your hand, I bandaged it for you. Don't pick at it," she lightly slapped his uninjured hand "It might break open again if you do, and it was really deep. Just let it heal."
He continued to pick at the gauze.
Ginny sighed in frustration then slapped her hands down on the bed, the sudden movement seemed to frighten him more than anything. He jumped a little, then glared at being disturbed from his 'mission' of getting the bandage off of his hand as he was sure there was nothing wrong with him and she was just over reacting.
"You know what? You can just sit here, and wait because I'm going to go get Madame Pomfrey right now so she can deal with your stupid ass before you decide to be comatose." She turned to leave.
"Wait!" he yelled, then winced at the volume of his voice. "What do you want to know?" He sat up now crossing his legs, hands folded and looking very disheveled.
She walked back over to him and sat down on the bed next to him. "I need to know what you've taken in the last twenty-four hours."
"…Do you need all twenty-four hours?"
She almost laughed, then she found that he was serious. "Ok, what did you take this morning?"
There was a long moment of silence. "Nit, I think was the first thing I took."
"Nit? I've never heard of that before, what are its nicknames maybe I can match it with something."
"I went to the club after, you know about the underground." He looked up at her, like he recognized her all of a sudden "You were there once, I remember."
Ginny raised her eyebrows, that was a bit of a sudden thought. He can't remember the last twenty-four hours yet he can remember her face from a few years ago. Interesting.
"What about the club?"
"I…uh…Brandon wanted to give me some more nit, I think he called it Nitrous."
'/Nitrous/, he doesn't have the symptoms of nitrous, if he'd taken it he'd probably be laughing his ass off right now, not this lost expression. He probably took something else. But this is good for now.' She quickly wrote down 'nitrous' on the little clipboard.
"And…" she prompted.
"And…" he mimicked, although not on purpose "I was there but I didn't want any. I wanted a double instead."
"A double? Tell me what that is, please hurry Draco."
"A double is a White Lady, and some smack."
'Jesus, he took coke AND heroin' dutifully she wrote it down and then rolled back one of the sleeves of his shirt. She had a feeling of déjà vu, but ignored it. Just as she'd suspected there were needle marks in his arm, not just one or two…but she could tell he'd been using for a while. Healing spells could prevent dead veins, but after a while, even those won't help you. Fortunately for Draco his arms didn't look that bad…yet.
"And then there was the girl." he added almost as an after thought.
"The girl? What girl?"
Draco had a bit of a grin on his face. "The one who said if I'd shag her she'd give me those pills."
Now this was just down right alarming. "Draco, what pills." Her voice was full of panic, if she'd waited to long to get it out of his system, and not contacted a teacher….this wasn't turning out to be good.
"Draco, WHAT pills?!"
"I…don't remember. I asked for some before we did it, then she gave me the rest after, I don't remember what kind. I only remember a handful of pretty colors, yeah, they were very pretty being different colors and all."
'Damn it all, the one part that could kill him and he can't remember…'
"Was there any ecstasy in those pills? Try and remember." She could do a damn good job with the information she had already, but this last fact was important.
"No, no X. She's a crack whore, can't afford it." He chuckled a bit at something he was thinking.
Ginny bit the inside of her cheek as to not comment on his choice of bedmates, then rushed out of the enclosed space to set to work. When she came back she was laden down with potions upon potions.
Setting up everything on a near by medical table she asked, "Is there anything you want before I give you your medication? You're going to be pretty tired so you might as well ask now."
He nodded slowly, his eyes watching her closely.
"What is it?"
He motioned her to come closer.
She took a step forward.
"I'm not going to bite, come here." His eyes which usually reminded her of a brewing storm were extremely dark, almost a charcoal gray.
She stood next to him and he reached up putting a hand behind her neck and pulled her down slowly. 'Oh he just wants to whisper something to me.' Well that's what she thought until he moved his head the rest of the way and kissed her.
First he barely touched her lips, only brushing softly against them. But that was all that was needed. It felt like her senses had been awakened. His tongue pushed gently against her lips, wanting entrance, and biting tenderly on her bottom lip. She didn't need anymore motivation than that so she opened her mouth to him it was then indescribable and the kiss grew deeper. With this new contact it felt like electricity went through her veins. Ginny shivered, but she had closed her eyes tighter, running her hands through his hair. If this was kissing she had /no/ idea what the hell she'd been doing with Collin. Heat was building in her, it was as if this kiss was radiating energy. She was in his arms now, one hand in her hair the other…some where else. Her back arched against him.
Slowly she pulled away breathless, and he groaned at the loss of contact. They both sat on the bed just looking at each other, getting their breathing under control. Then Draco promptly leaned over and…threw up on the floor.
'I didn't think I was that bad of a kisser…'
But she knew better. One of the effects heroin, it could make you vomit, and he's probably going to have a splitting headache later on. She was just thankful she pulled away first.
After she'd gotten his mess cleaned up she came back to see him sleeping.
'He's almost cute when he's sleeping…I wonder what happens to him between then and when he's awake…'
Well she had to wake him up any way, so she did. Then handed him potion after potion. One for his stomach so all these pills and potions didn't eat through his stomach wall. Casting spells, advanced and little charms. Another potion to detoxify him to some degree, and another. One for his head ache and to stop the nausea…
(A/N): Just to clear some things up, at this point Draco barely knows where he is let alone who she is, this part is important. Why did he kiss her then? Because his combinations of drugs, it can kind of make a guy horny, lol. Hey, it's true, trust me on this one…any ways pretty soon I'll gt tired of making Draco sick beyond reason and that's when you'll get some fluffy D/G action k?
