Chapter 8- The Plan

It was after midnight and everyone was anxiously waiting for Harry to wake-up. It had been over six hours since Harry and Alex had gotten back and Harry still wasn't awake. Alex and Ron were asleep on the couches and Herimone left quickly to get some dinner for everyone. The nurse's corridor was empty, except for the far bed that held Draco Malfoy. He had serious injuries to his head and back. Lucky for Harry and everyone else, Madam Promphrey guessed he would be here for a while, maybe 2 or 3 months.

"Hmmmm…" Alex said as her eyes opened groggily/ She rolled over and rubbed her eyes. She sat up quickly and looked around, "Ron, get up." She muttered as she walked towards him, "Ron! Seriously wake up, it's almost 1 in the morning and Harry's not awake still." Ron moaned, but still didn't get up. Alex gave up and walked towards Harry's bed. His eyes were halfway opened.

"Hey Harry, you up?" She said sitting on a chair next to the bed.

Harry's head suddenly shook and he looked at Alex, "Hey, how ya doin?" He said smiling and pointing at her bandage on her shoulder.

She laughed, "Oh, this, it's nothin? How ya feel? You've been out for at least 7 hours. Do you remember anything?

"Yeah, I'm fine. I don't' remember tons, just getting stabbed a billion times by someone and then passing out."

Alex grabbed her stomach, "Oh, fun, and I thought I had it rough. At least Draco didn't stab me!"

"It was Draco who did it…." Harry's voice traveled away as he laid his head back on the pillow, "I should've known he'd try something like that. He didn't hurt you did he?"

"No, not really, just a bump on my shoulder. Well, you look like you need your rest so I'll let you go back to sleep. Or do you wanna talk to Ron? I can wake him….."

Harry smiled, " Let him sleep, he's sorta crabby if you wake him."

Alex laughed and went to turn off the lamp by Harry's head, "Goodnight Harry." She said glancing at him.

"I love you Alex."

"I love you to." She said whispering as she kissed him on the cheek, " Now get some rest so you can get out of here."

Harry quietly rolled over and closed his eyes. Alex walked back down to the couch and sat down.

"Alex? May I speak to you for a minute?" Madam Promphrey asked, standing at the bed across from Harry's.

Alex nodded and walked to ward's her, "What is it?"

"After looking at Draco, "She paused as Alex cringed at the name, "I've discovered that he had a controlling spell over him, someone told him to all of that stuff. So Draco's innocent I'm afraid."

Alex gaped at Madam Promphrey, "Are you serious?" Madam Promphrey nodded, "Who could do that? Aren't those spell outlawed?"

"Yes, I'm afraid so. But they are certain magical people that poses the power to do that," She said quietly, "Well, I need to go tend to some other patients, I just thought you should know. Can you explain this to your friends, I would hate for them to still be angry with Draco."

She walked away swiftly and Alex quickly ran out of the Nurses Office to find Herimone and Ron. She got up to the Gryffindor common room and looked away as she saw Herimone and Ron snogging.

"Ok, please stop. Like, now." Alex said sarcastically and Ron moved off Herimone.

"Jeeze, Alex, good thing you didn't get here any later." Ron said laughing and Herimone punched him in the shoulder, " So what's so important?"

Alex shook her head quickly and then sat in the chair next to Ron and Herimone. " Well… let's go to the nurses office, I'll tell you there.

They all got up and left the common room.

The Shrieking Shack

"How did he beat the spell? He almost killed both of them!" A dark voice boomed.

"I'm sorry master, I tried but the Malfoy boy was too strong, he beat the spell too quickly."

"Wormtail you have failed me again. You claim to be loyal, but you are weak. I can't afford to have a weak servant."

Wormtail stood up and bowed at his Master's feet, "Please, please, I will come up with another plan. A flawless one."

"Fine, prove your dignity and kill the Potter boy and Alex, yourself."
