Disclaimer: jo's character....
A/N: (thinking of bunching the "chapters" together... to form good long ones.... ::shrugs::)-- done
He scooped the warm silvery liquid with his hands and watched it trail down his arms.
There was an insane look in his eyes as he stared at the silver lines hungrily.
He will do the thing his ancestors were afraid to do centuries ago.
Insistent tugging.
He flung his arms lazily to shoo the thing away.
Draco Malfoy was slump over piles of books and parchment sleeping soundly. "Damn it!" he muttered as the tugging at his sleeves became more and more harder.
"Master Malfoy must wake up sir! Rinky will get in to trouble with Professor Snape, if master won't wake up soon."
Draco grumbled and forced his heavy head up to look at the elf murderously. The elf squealed in fright and backed away, stuttering: "Master has woken up!" before disappearing with a cracking sound.
He ran his hands through his hair and squinted at the clock above the fireplace. 11:00. The sunlight was happily dancing with the dust particles.
He groaned inwardly. What does the professor want now? He glanced at the books in front of him. The first rays of light were already shining over the grounds when he had finally finished. Good thing its a Sunday. He got up from his chair and stretched.
Yawning, he straightened his robes, hand-combed his hair and lazily strutted out of the room.
Harry Potter entered the library warily. It has been a while since he had been here. Walking through the dusty rows of ancient books, his mind was working in hyper drive.
What book could possibly hold some information about a magical comatose. He even doubted that the magical world knew of that term.
Walking through the healing aisle. He carefully read the fading titles and pulled every other book out of the shelves. Staggering under the weight of books, he made his way towards the nearest table and dropped them earning an irritated "shhhh" from from the librarian.
As he slowly flipped through the books, he was fleetingly reminded of the time they spent in the library going through the books, looking for a way to breathe underwater. He smiled at the memory but shook his head and mentally reprimanded himself for wasting time.
Taking an occasional note or two on a scrap piece parchment. He scratched his chin with the tip of his quill. Yawning, he placed the quill back on the built-in ink holder at the table and stretched his hands screwing his eyes shut in the process. He nearly fell out of his chair when he opened his eyes.
It was nighttime, and the usual lanterns that illuminated the library were off. Except for a single one. The light was coming towards him from the far ends of the library. It was a young man, with his face hidden in shadows, draped on his shoulder was an invisiblility cloak, on hgis right hand he held a book while his left held the lantern.
He came at a halt in front of Harry and placed the book carefully down. Harry stared at it taking note if the intricate designs embossed on the cover.
When he looked up. The hashed whispers of the students returned and the sun was flooding through the high windows of the room. He looked aroung wildly. The book was etched into his mind. Somewhere in the back of his mind, told him to scavenge the big library for the book; but deep worry for Hermione kept him from doing it.
Draco Malfoy cradled his face in both his hands at the slytherin table. He was feeling extremely drowsy as his eyelids fluttered close, and open again while some of his fellow Slytherins were pigging out beside him.
"Draco!"
His eyelids shot open, he looked wildly around and his eyes locked on the figure of Pancy boucing toward him. He stiffled a groan, as Pansy shooed his friends away and sat next to him. Clinging to him like a permanent adhesive.
"Pansy, I--" he started, prying his hands from her grip.
"Drakie, I haven't seen you for a long time. I was starting to think that you're avoiding me." she simpered.
"I am." he muttered.
"I beg your pardon?" she pulled back from him and stared, aghast.
"I mean, of course not." he replied, forcing a smile. He didn't dare hurt this girl, she'll make his life a living hell. "Pansy..."
"Yes, Drakie?" she was once again attatched to him.
"About the party, in my room..."
"Oh Drakie," she sighed. "It was most memorable! Thank you. I'll never forget that night."
Draco gulped as Pansy hugged him tighter.
Those words just confirmed it all.
He stared into the depths of the cauldron.
His eyes were darting around, muttering incomprehensible things under his breath.
Time was running out. It's trickling through his fingers like flowing water.
He needed to act now and Potter holds everything he needed to complete his work.
He looked up to the vaulted ceiling, where something shimmering was floating.
"I promise you, luv, I'll get it ."
A whisper came from the shimmering air. "I'll wait."
Harry looked up and scowled. He gathered up his things and started to stand up.
"Wait." said Draco Malfoy.
Harry stopped at the tone of the prat's voice. Narrowing his eyes, he sat back down and stared at Malfoy. His face was haggard and his robes crumpled. But, just in case, his hands crept inside his pocket for his wand.
"What do you want?" ,hissed Harry.
Draco watched silently as Harry sat back down and held on to his wand.
He followed the scarhead here because he was sure that when he tried to talk to him anywhere else, Potter's going to assault him. It was best here, where he could talk without worrying about his life.
He wanted to talk about Hermione.
He couldn't follow her every professor around like a sick puppy. It was wasting his time and not to mention draining his energy.
"It's about Hermione..." he started, leaning back.
Harry felt some heat radiate from within him. He dared use her first name. He dived across the table and grabbed Malfoy by the front of his robes.
He watched as Malfoy's eyes darted around. He looked past the ferret's head and and saw that time momentarily stopped. He couldn't explain it but it suited him right now. He looked back at Malfoy and found a wand sticking to his side.
Resolutely, Harry sat back down. He was breathing rather rapidly. He threw a disgusting look at Malfoy, who was massaging his neck while his wand was pointed straight at Harry. Harry stood up, grabbed some books and strode out of the libraby doors, not looking back.
Draco exhaled and stared in to space for a while before standing up himself. Looking around, he raised his wand and after one easy flick everything returned back to normal.
Her face was set like stone. She didn't wince, when he bit and nibbled on her neck. Neither does she flinch nor struggle when his hands touched her body. She just hung there, not moving, her chocolate eyes trained on the ground.
"Now, I think that enough." he whispered against her swollen neck. "Don't you?" His voice was dripping with honey, poisoned honey. He grabbed her hair and yanked her head back. He crushed his lips against her.
The first time she recieved this kiss, she told herself it was magical. Now it was anything but that. She didn't dare open her lips. He pulled away, chuckling. He pushed her head forward. Leaving her in the darkness with his cruel laugh, echoing all around her.
Then, at last, she felt the chains loosen. She fell flat on the floor. Slowly gathering her strength, she curled up hugging her knees. Letting the coldness consume her.
Ron Weasley smiled as he entered the Hospital wing. He was munching on a half eaten apple, which was supposed to be a gift for the sleeping girl; but he ended up eating it, telling himself that: the apple would rot there waiting for her to wake up anyway.
He found her; drawing a chair towards her, he sat down, still munching on the apple. He was staring at her sleeping form absent mindedly, not noticing that her fingers moved.
"You know, you should wake up." he said, swallowing. He took another bite and continued talking, "you're missing out on a lot of things." He looked around, then his eyes laid rest to the apple. "Like food, look, this apple is supposed to be for you, but...." he shrugged and took another bite. With one last look, he stood up and was halfway through the room when he heard a raspy voice.
"But what? You ate it?"
Ronald Weasley turned around and looked at his friend, lying there, smiling at him weakly.
Draco was leaning against the doorway, watching as Potter, Weasley and Pomfrey fawned over Hermione, who kept waving them off. Telling them that she was perfectly fine.
She looked around and spotted him, she smiled. Draco nodded at her direction. He was debating whether he should scowl or not, but in the end he turned around and trudged up to their room, a small smile on his lips.
