Chapter Twelve
For about the first month not much happened simply because there just wasn't enough time, the class work was in the way. They spent most of there free time doing homework, the homework would start to slow down in a while both Ron and Draco promised the girls.
The girls found out that the longer they were there the longer the days seemed to be getting. One day late in the afternoon Cherry was headed back to the castle, when she saw a black kid kicking around a soccer ball. She walked over to the field and watched him for a few minutes, he looked up after a minute and saw her standing there.
"You play good," she said.
"Thanks, I know a few things, you play any?" he asked her.
"Yeah I play some, I'm Cherry." She said putting down her books.
"Dean Thomas, do you wan to play some?" he asked shaking her hand.
"Yeah sure, just let me take of my cloak," Cherry said undoing the clasp.
"Okay lets go," he said rolling up his sleeves.
"Okay," she replied and they were off.
In the first ten minutes Cherry had three points as to the one point that Dean had. Half an hour later they sat with water across from each other. Dean was only in his shorts, and Cherry in a white tank top and black shorts. The score stood tied with twenty one points each. They had both decided that the first one to win by three points would be declared the winner.
One slick move that ended up going wrong sent Cherry to the ground holding her ankle. Dean sat down beside her and moved her hand, her ankle didn't look any different.
"You okay, you've been playing with lots of skill," Dean asked.
"My ankle hurts so bad I shouldn't of pushed so hard," said Cherry putting her hand around her ankle.
"Do you think you can walk, so we can get you to the hospital wing?" he asked standing up.
"I don't know, let me see," she said standing up then finding her self back on the ground again.
"Well, I guess that's a big N-O," she said trying to smile.
"Here let me help you than I'll carry you," Dean offered pulling his shirt back on.
"I don't know if you can, I don't want you to feel obligated," Cherry said looking up at him.
"Don't be stupid Cherry, you'll be fine in my care," Dean said picking her up with ease.
"Dean I cant thank you enough, I haven't played in a long time, I had a lot of fun," Cherry said looking at him.
"Well you still played good, and we had fun until you got hurt, but no lies you have a great talent," Dean said walking up a flight of stairs.
Dean had almost gotten her to the hospital wing but a few minutes before he got there they ran into a conflict. As Dean turned a corner and started walking he was soon was stopped again.
"What do you think your doing?" came Draco's voice.
"I demand that you put her down this instant." He demanded.
"I'd love to but she cant walk, she hurt her ankle so I'm taking her to the hospital wing if you cant see that," Dean said walking on.
"Well then hand her over to me, after all I am her boyfriend!" he said getting mad.
"Your going out with Draco?" he asked her, and she nodded.
"I didn't know that," he said and walked into the hospital wing.
Dean sat her on a bed, and Draco was behind them accusing Dean of things that never happened. He was complaining about him being a Gryffindor and not knowing where his place was in the school, when he was interrupted by Cherry.
"Draco! That's enough, Dean didn't do anything wrong, we were playing soccer and I hurt my ankle." She said.
"It wouldn't of happened if you weren't playing with him," he said looking at Dean.
"All he's guilty of is being nice to me, you can leave now Dean, thank you." She said.
"It was no problem, I had fun thanks for joining me." Dean said and walked out.
"What happened now?" the nurse asked coming in.
"I screwed up my ankle, I'm not sure how though." Cherry said watching the nurse examine it.
"Well you did a good job spraining it," she said placing her wand to it.
"Thank you," Cherry said rolling her ankle in circles.
"Not so fast Ms. Miller." She put her wand to it one more time and a bandage wrapped it's self around her ankle.
"What's that for?" she asked looking down.
"To make sure you don't hurt it again, leave it on for the next few days you can go now," she said and walked away.
"Come on Draco lets go now," Cherry said getting up.
"What about your things where are they, I'll summon them when I get to the room." She said walking out of the hospital wing.
"Alright, okay so why were you hanging out with Dean again?" Draco asked looking at her.
"I was coming up from class, he was outside kicking a soccer ball around, and I asked if I could join him," she said.
"But isn't that a muggle sport?" he asked.
"Yes it is but its fun to do in off time," Cherry said smiling as they headed towards the dungeon so they could get some rest.
"You know I've got quidditch practice starting a few times a week soon right?" he asked looking at her.
"Yeah I know that, I'll be watching you at some of them, and I'll be at all your games, you know that though don't you?" she said.
"Some how I already knew that." He said taking her hand and looking at the ring on her finger.
She smiled and pulled her hand away from him. He flashed a grin at her and as they stopped in front of an evil looking picture.
Draco and Cherry watched at the portrait swung open for them. Draco being the gentlemen he his let Cherry go in first. She looked around the common room not much excitement to night, so she headed to the girls room. As she passed the boys room Jason came out and saw her, he looked at her and shook his head.
"Hey Cherry, what happened to you?" he asked crossing his arms.
"I was playing some soccer with this guy named Dean and I hurt my ankle, nothing big its fine now." She said and disappeared behind the girls door.
