"Let go!"
"Why should I!? All you do is dance; you never do much of anything else!"
"What would you have me do then!"
"Draco, Kagome!" Narcissa came upstairs to see her son standing on her nieces' bed, holding a pair of ballet shoes above his head and out of Kagome's reach. "What is going on!? Draco, return her shoes!"
Draco frowned and lowered his hand so that Kagome could take her shoes back. "Mum, can't you tell her to come play with me?" He jumped off the bed and ran to his mother. Taking hold of the skirt of her gown, he stared up pleadingly at her as she looked between him and Kagome.
Kagome held her shoes to her chest, looking at Draco, she looked close to tears.
"Kagome, dear..." Narcissa knelt before her son and held a hand for Kagome to come to her, smiling when she ran into her arm. The small girl rested her head on her shoulder, and Draco watched her curiously as he leaned into her other arm. "Kagome...Draco's not completely wrong. I think getting some sun would do you good."
Kagome shook her head in her Aunts hair.
"No, no, don't argue...for the rest of the day, you aren't allowed afoot in this bedroom until it's time to get ready for dinner. Am I understood?"
Draco grinned, "change! I'll take you to fly on the new brooms dad got us!"
"Draco!" Narcissa's voice hardened, "you will not force her to do anything she truly doesn't wish to do. I want you to keep her safe. Do you hear me, love?"
"Yes, mum!"
"Then go, off with you. I'll send Kagome downstairs once she's ready."
Kagome watched Draco leave, and a feeling of betrayal hit her hard as she realized that she was being forced to do something she didn't want to do, despite what her Aunt had just said. As the door shut, she let her guide her to the dresser and watched her pull out a pair of short trousers and a cotton blouse. She grabbed a pair of boots and smiled. "You will be fine, Kagome. Trust in me; this will do you great good."
"You are sure?"
"Of course," she smiled, "a Malfoy is very rarely ever wrong."

Kagome stared at the boots on her feet. They were heavier than what she normally wore, by a lot.
"Hurry up!"
Bright blue eyes met greyish steel blue, "where are we going?"
"Flying! Dad bought practice brooms, the newest models!" He pulled her out towards the edge of the garden, dragging her out to where were two children sized brooms lay on the ground waiting for them. "I'm going to be on the Quidditch team when I go to Durmstrang!"
"Quidditch?"
"Yeah!" He handed her one of the brooms before he picked up the other and straddled it, carefully pushing off the ground, he wobbled a bit before leveling out and laughing, "look! Look, it's not so hard at all!"
Wide-eyed, Kagome watched as he raised off the ground by two feet, "...wow...I...I wanna try!" She smiled, carefully straddling her broom, she pushed off the ground but only hopped. "...why doesn't it work?"
"...well, you have to concentrate, focus on flying, taking off into the air."
She did as she was told, it couldn't be that hard; after all, she could do perfect pirouettes, six times in a row! If she could do that, then surely flying would be easy, right? "Ah...I- I got it!" She struggled in the air; Draco was right beside her as she got a foot up in the air. He placed a hand on her broomstick to help her steady it. "Like this, right?"
"Yeah, you got it! Just go slow, I fell the first time I tried, so be careful."
"Does it hurt to fall?"
He looked at her, thoughtfully, "don't you fall when you dance?"
'That hurts...' she thought about when she'd step wrong in the middle of a Fouetté and would end up sprawled painfully across the floor. She'd even seen girls twist or sprain their ankles making a move. "I do, sometimes...does it feel like that?"
"I don't know, but I know it can hurt a lot if you are really, reeeeeally high up!" He pointed above them as if to demonstrate just how high. "Dad says...sometimes falling helps keep us on the broom!"
"But...I don't wanna fall."
He laughed, "then don't let go!" He removed his hand and took off on his broom.
She watched him for a few moments before she focused on trying to move forward, and once Kagome got the feel of it, she was moving. She was moving! Her hair was being lifted around her face, wild and unruly black curls and waves were tickling her cheeks and neck as she tried to catch up with Draco. Perhaps, she should have covered how to stop before she learned how to start.

Narcissa made sure Kagome was sleeping peacefully in her bed as she covered her up to her chin, then quietly left the room. Walking a bit down the hall, she saw her son peering around the corner of his bedroom doorframe. "What are you doing, love?"
He fidgeted in the doorway for a moment before stepping up to his mother, "is she gonna be okay, mum?"
Narcissa nodded, leaning forward a bit to look into her son's blurry tear-filled eyes. "Yes," she whipped her son's tears away, he'd been so scared for Kagome, and so worried that he'd be punished because she got hurt. "She's asleep now, her wrist is broken though...and the doctor says it'll take about four hours for the bone to mend itself completely. So, we should be gentle with her until she's back to normal."
"...sorry, mum."
"Hm?" She smiled, "Kagome told me that she had a lot of fun flying with you and asked if she was still allowed to fly again."
"Can she mum? You know, once her wrist is okay?"
"I don't see why not. Bones can be mended, but be careful. Worse injuries can come from falling from too great a height."
"Yes, mum!"
She gave a final nod and ushered him off to shower and ready himself for dinner. Enough excitement had happened today, and she'd prefer the house to be in order once her husband returned home. Though, despite her niece's injury, she couldn't contain a small smile that stayed on her lips as she thought of how the two had gotten along so well. This had certainly gone better than she'd hoped, even if it had a rough ending.
