Hi guys! I promised another chapter (and even though it's a tad...a lot overdue) here it is I hope you like it!
Draco's P.O.V.
"Ugh!" I moaned and turned over in the hospital bed. The last week I had been feeling out of it and was forced *cough*Hermione*cough* to go to the hospital wing. Much to my disliking I was told by Madame Pomfrey to stay in bed for a week. A week must not seem like much but a lot has happened in the few days that I was gone.
To start, Harry, Ron and Hermione had been running away from Filch and went into a door to hide and came face-to-face with a three headed dog. Although they came to see me every now and then, I haven't seen them for a couple of days now and I wanted more than anything to now what was happening.
As if on cue they all walked in with a grimace on their faces.
"Hi Draco! Feeling better?" Hermione asked tentatively. I shot her an annoyed look, "you would know if you were here like you promised!" I grumbled.
"Listen, we're sorry but we were busy and every time we came to see you Madame Pomfrey told us you were either asleep or weren't allowed guests. But we have something we need to tell you and you are not going to like it. We think Snape has been going down to get past the three headed dog." Harry said.
I couldn't believe it. My own uncle, my own godfather has been working for the enemy and betraying Dumbledore the whole time. After seeing my face fall Ron quickly amended Harry's sentence. "But we've got a plan."
"And what is that?" I asked.
After 5 minutes of bantering on who should tell me Ron finally spoke up. "Someone is going to distract the teachers so we can sneak down, get past the dog and beat Snape in whatever evil plan he has going!" he said triumphantly.
Hmm... I didn't trust that plan, it just wasn't foolproof. And when I tried to express my feelings to the guys they simply just ignored me and said that they were going to do it with me or without me. Ron and Harry left the room but Hermione looked more hesitant and it seemed that she was going to say something. After opening and closing her mouth several times she quickly ran up to me and said, "If you decide to come meet us by the Fat Lady at 7:00" kissed me on the cheek and ran off after them.
And that's when I made the decision. Harry is stupid and I need to stop them from doing something they will regret.

We made it out of the Gryffindor common room and ran to the dungeon. I almost froze when I saw Fluffy. It was huge ferocious and I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that it had three heads. Ron was right, it was scary. Hermione was the first to break out of the trance and played a tune on the flute she had brought. They almost suddenly fell asleep and we walked forward and saw a brown trap door.
"Well, best get going then" Ron said breathless.
"Wait," Harry picked up a pebble on the floor and threw it through the door. After a while we heard a safe plop and I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding. "It's safe" he reassured us.
And although we knew it was safe none of us wanted to be the first to go in. Eventually I got annoyed at how slow we were going. "Let's go!" I snapped and jumped in.
"Ugh!" I exclaimed when I saw what we were lying in. We were caught in some sort of plant that had us twirled up in it's vines.
"Wit a minute! I know what this is! It's the Devils Snare Plant!" Hermione said happily. Meanwhile Ron was flailing around like a worm. "Stay still Ron!" I scolded him. "How can I? We are going to die here?!" he cried. I sighed and Harry urged Hermione to continue.
"What we need to do is to stay still. It will think we have left and will let us go" she informed us. She stilled her body movement and she got swallowed by the plant. "Hermione!" I cried. "I'm fine but you need to do what I did to get out" and so reluctantly I stopped moving.
I need to take a shower after this.
One or two disgusting moments later I hit a hard floor. I opened my eyes and saw Hermione's warm brown eyes looking concerned into mine. "Are you alright?" she asked worried. I lightly chuckled and said I was fine.
Harry joined us but Ron was to scared to go join.
"There's got to be another way" Harry said frantically.
"Oh, I know! You need... sunlight! Too bad we don't have fire" she added thoughtfully.
"You are a wizard are you not?" Ron added sarcastically. Hermione rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath and suddenly a bright orange flame rose from her wand.
The plant retaliated and Ron fell through. We made it through to the next obstacle. This time we saw a glowing room with nothing inside. Harry took a step forward and birds began to fly around the room. But upon further inspection we realized that they weren't birds but keys. We looked to our right and saw a broom. It was clear that we had to go on the broom get the right key and put it into the door in front of us.
The problem was that all of them looked the same. It was impossible to tell which one was the right one. "Wait! Look, just there!" Harry said. We turned and saw a key different from the rest of them. This one had a glimmer to it and had gold on it. Harry flew up, unstably, but up nonetheless and got the key.
But on it in thin writing said 'all but one will go through, pick now for your time is already overdue' we remained silent for a minute. I finally spoke up. "I should stay. I am the least capable of doing anything anyways, Hermione's smart, Harry needs to go and Ron although he is annoying," Ron rolled his eyes "he's brave."
"No-" Hermione had began to protest but Harry had cut her off. "He's right plus we need to hurry. Thanks, mate. We'll be back" and with that they left through the door.
At first I just waited around but then I got a sharp pain in my abdomen I cried out and felt my knees buckle to the ground.
That's it. I'm going to die here
That was the last thing I thought before going unconscious.
Ta da! What a ending! Don't forget to review, follow and favorite. I am getting lost in this story so if you have any ideas on what could happen next tell me in the reviews.
