To bewitch the mind
I'm a Malfoy!
"OH!" Hermione screamed as she went falling to the ground. Her neatly packed parcels flew out of her hands as she went to break her fall. She closed her eyes waiting for the impact. She was about a foot from the ground when someone grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back.
As she was pulled back up to standing she stumbled backwards since she was trembling and fell into the arms of the person that had saved her. She fell limply and then passed out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco was so scared what was he supposed to do? He had saved Granger from falling and saved her again when she fell backwards even though her scream pierced his ears he still had saved her! And his repayment was that she had fainted! Why did she do that it wasn't that frightening.
People were now starting to look at him. He was still holding Granger up and her scream had added a lot of attention. With a little angered growl he picked Granger up and carried her in his arms. With one hand he bent down and picked up all her belongings. His presents were in his pockets so they weren't damaged in any way.
He gave a quick glare to all that were watching him and gave them a look that plainly said 'if you say anything you'll get a beating' With another huff he set off towards Hogwarts with a look of disgust on his face.
How could he be touching her? She was a mud - no she said she wasn't but was it true? It seemed true enough. But did he believe her? He didn't know what to believe. He trudged on wishing it had been anyone else but Granger. His feelings had obviously changed for her. I mean he would never have helped her out a couple of years ago. He probably would have kicked her and been on his way.
They hadn't changed that much had they? I mean yeah she was ok, but that didn't mean he liked her a lot. His feelings had been different lately. They had changed rapidly from him wanting to cause trouble and him just wanting to sit down and try to be nice. What was that about? He was having an argument with himself to prove that he didn't like Granger. But since he was trying to prove that he didn't like her does that mean he does?
Ahhh! The thoughts were confusing him. He didn't want to face the fact that he might possibly like Granger . . . or did he? No he couldn't think about it! He was saved from anymore confusing thoughts, since he had come to the front doors of Hogwarts and who should be coming out but his two least favorite people . . . Potter and Weasley!
Out of all the people it had to be them. It was just like the situation with Granger. He just had to catch her didn't he! Now he was going to be in trouble about this. He was carrying the fainted form of their best friend. How would he react to that? No he would be the wrong person to ask. Potty and Weasel didn't have a very nice look on their faces as they slowly advanced towards him.
Out of all the bad things that could of happened it had to be this. They were standing in front of him with worried and angry looks on their faces . It was quite funny really and he would of laughed if he hadn't been worried out being kicked in.
"What are you doing with Hermione Malfoy?" Ron spat. He really did look mad. He was going red!
"Carrying her. What does it look like I am doing?" He had to take pride in his sarcy comments.
"Malfoy. We are in no mood. What are you doing with Hermione and I will ask you just once." Harry threatened.
Malfoy thinking that this would probably be the good time to say what he was doing told him "Carrying her to the Hospital Wing. She fainted on me in Hogsmeade. I didn't do it if your thinking that I just thought that it would be right to take her back here"
"Yeah right! You mean to say that you carried her back here from Hogsmeade! We know your lying now. It is to far to walk with her and all the parcels" Ron stated.
"Actually she isn't that heavy. Here catch!" He threw her parcels to Ron who caught them looking stunned. Hermione was still asleep in his arms with her head resting on his shoulder.
"See they're not that heavy are they?" He asked. Ron shook his head. Malfoy then done the most surprising thing "Here!" He said and threw Hermione for Harry to catch. Harry not expecting this jumped and started to panic. Malfoy had threw her quite high. But stayed in the same place watching Harry and grinning.
Harry still didn't have enough time to run over and catch her, but he tried anyway. Hermione was coming back down to Earth and Harry was still a couple of feet away. When Hermione was level with Malfoys head. He yet again surprised them by catching her! Hermione still didn't wake up! She must be out cold not to wake up after that.
"See?" He gloated "She's not that heavy" This time he threw her towards Harry and he caught her looking surprised. Ron was watching everything with an open mouth. Harry still looked stunned. Malfoy started walking towards the doors load free. He turned around for another look.
"When Granger wakes tell her I can't be around to save her mudbl - blood neck all the time" He spun around to go in but Ron shouted.
"Why do you have to be so nasty all the time?"
Draco thought for a second "Because I'm a Malfoy!" Then he was gone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione woke up to the sound of voices. She opened her eyes and saw Harry and Ron sitting on her bed talking. Hmmmm. She thought this is weird. Why do I always wake up here she thought. It was starting to creep her out. Harry and Ron turned around to see if she was ok and jumped when they saw her awake.
"Hermione! Are you ok?" They asked at they same time.
"Yes I'm fine. Apart from I have a headache" She said "and a cold which wasn't there before I went out" she added.
"Yeah? We were talking to Madam Pomfrey and she seems to think that you are most likely to have had a sudden attack of flu. That's why you fainted." Harry explained with Ron nodding beside him.
"Huh? Who would have thought that? So who brought me back? I know I bumped into Malfoy. But he wouldn't do anything. Come to think of it he probably set it off." Hermione went off into her own thoughts then gave a loud sneeze. "So who brought me back?"
"Urm . . . well here's the thing is it kind of strange and weird so brace yourself" Harry started. Hermione nodded. " Malfoy brought you back" Harry said quickly.
"I don't think I heard you. You didn't say Malfoy did you?" Harry nodded " Oh my God! You mean to say he carried me all the way back here?" Harry nodded again.
"Yes that is strange" Ron said "But do you know what's stranger?" Ron asked. Hermione shook her head. "He didn't complain at all that he carried you back"
Hermione sat amazed. That was so strange that Malfoy didn't complain about her. She would of thought he would about her being a - no she wasn't and he knew. She sneezed again and started to shiver. Her flu symptoms were starting.
"Madam Pomfrey" she called " Can I have a potion to get rid of this flu now?" Madam Pomfrey came scuttling over carry a bottle of potion.
"Of course dear. Once you have had it you can leave and don't forget to take your gifts." She said and left.
Hermione took a few gulps of the potion and swallowed. The effects were instant. She wasn't ill anymore. With a quick nod of her head to Harry and Ron she got off the bed and collected her gifts and followed Ron and Harry out of the door.
Finally when she was in her room in Gryffindor tower she flopped down onto the bed and took a look at her gifts. She had a huge bag of Honey dukes best sweets and chocolates. Harry and Ron's presents and of course her parents presents. She thought that she should post them now before it was to late.
She took the parcels and put the address on it. Hermione then went into the common room which was deserted and out of the portrait. She then made her way towards the owlery to send her presents.
As she got to the owlery she thought she heard voices but thought she was wrong. So she opened the door. . . no one was in there though which she thought was strange. Hermione walked in and went to fetch the nearest owl. It looked to small though so she went to the next one and it looked fine. She gave it a couple of pokes to wake it up and tied the parcels to it's leg, then she carried it over to the window and let it fly out of her arms into the evening sky.
A hand went around her stomach and a round her mouth so she couldn't scream. She started to panic so she screamed as loud as she could (which was quite loud) then bit down hard. There was a sound of cursing while the hands withdrew and she spun around to see who her attacker was.
"Malfoy?" Hermione cried in shock. What was he doing up here? "What the hell do you think you were doing?" She screamed.
"Playing a prank" He replied shrugging "I didn't know it was you though Granger. Thought you were somebody else" He shrugged again.
"Err . . . anyway . . . I err wanted to thank you for what you did today. I know you didn't have to" Hermione said.
"Well you know" He said "didn't want Potty and the Weasel on my back about how I could have done something" He replied "and the thanks I get for saving you falling from the ground was you fainting and now a bleeding hand." He sighed.
"Oh! Sorry about that" then Hermione giggled.
"What? You think my injury is funny do you?" He asked while Hermione nodded her head still giggling. "what?!"
"It's just that is the second injury I have given you in less than three says. Lets just say that's now my record" and she giggled again.
He had to admit it would be funny from her point of view but not at his. She had almost caught him talking to his faithful eagle owl, which would make him look crazy. His owl was now on it's way home to his manor with the gifts. He still hadn't found a use for the necklace but he might later on.
He looked up. Hermione was staring at him. "What?" he asked.
"Well I was just thinking how nice you could be. Like just now for example. But you can be so mean. Why is that?" She asked.
He thought then started making his way to the door. Just as he pulled it open he turned round and said " Because I'm a Malfoy" He closed the door and was gone.
