Chapter 18
Last Chapter:
"OK. Now which carriage, huh? Come on Golden Bo-""Shhh. Theres some yelling over here." Draco had just noticed that Harry was already a good 25 feet in front of him. Draco started running towards Harry as he took off towards the yelling. I swear, right now, that when I get Hermione back, I will listen to her, and pay more attention, just let me find her safe.
Outside the Carriage
"OK, Draco, get your wand out. On the count of three, we go in there-you grab Hermione and I will take care of Krum. Alright?" Harry whispered low enough that Krum didn't hear them, but loud enough for Draco to hear him. Malfoy nodded. "One….Two….THREE!" They busted down the carriage door, and saw Krum on top of Hermione, trying to hold her hands down. "Get off of me you son of a bi-". Hermione turned her head to see Draco and Harry.
"GET OUT OF HERE! SHE IS MINE AND MINE ONLY!" Krum drew his wand and went after Draco first. He dodged a Stupify, but was hit in the chest by the Cruciatus Curse. "AHHHH!", it felt like his whole body was on fire and thousands of daggers were stabbing him all in rotations. Malfoy had been used to the Cruciatus because of his father, but this was actually painful. The last thing he saw before blacking out, was Hermione lunging for Krum's wand and breaking the curse. "Her..mi.." And everything went black.
Hermione's POV
Damn you Krum! You must die! And with this thought, I lunged at him to break the curse on Draco. I succeeded, but I was too late, he already blacked out. I ran to Draco, picked up his wand and shouted the first thing that came into my mind, "Sectum Sempra!" There were huge gashes in Krum's body, and he was gushing blood from anything that was open. Harry looked mortified that I had used such a thing. Hell, I was confused as to why I said it.
"Harry! You grab HIM and I will get Draco. We have to get them to the Hospital Wing." Enemy or not, we can't just leave him here. As much as I want to.
An hour later
"Draco..Are you alright?" I asked as he opened his eyes. He had been out cold for an hour. He nodded, too weak to speak. He then gave me a questioning look. " Everything is alright. Krum is taken care of. And you are alive and well….I hope?" Draco nodded again but gave another questioning look. " Krum is here in the Hospital Wing right now, being treated, then he is going to Azkaban." Yet another questioning look. Damn. He knows I am hiding something.. "I took Krum down. After you blacked out, I grabbed your wand and said the first thing that came to mind. It was one of the spells from Snape's old book. I couldn't believe I had done it, but I did and still don't know why. I think it was just hidden in me somewhere, and after seeing you get hurt, I used it to defend you and I. I'm sorry."
Draco leaned up to me and traced my lip with his thumb. "It's alright. You did the right thing. And you didn't think about just yourself. I am thankful for that." They leaned in and kissed each other.
A/N: Yea. Sorry for the long awaited update. I had a little trouble writing it. You see, I finally got a social life once again. YAY! Me. But its also the month of my mom's death. So everything is hectic and what not. So. I am not sure when the next update is going to be. So, in the meantime, while you are waiting, you can R&R my other story, Pureblood or not, I am still the Same.
