Chapter
6
There was a pale wizard with long silvery blond hair
putting the Cruciatus curse on...... Malfoy
He was also
kicking him at the same time. Quickly she pointed her wand at the man
and yelled "EXPELLIARMUS!"
The man flew back 20
feet, just missing a tree. Malfoy lay on the ground, panting and
moaning in pain. She ran over to him, holding her wand and the man's
wand, and knelt down next to him. "Oh my God! Malfoy, are you
ok?"
A
look of horror came over his face and he pushed her away. "What
are you doing here? Get out of here!" The man was coming
back. Malfoy started screaming crazily, "Go! Run! It was my
fault! Don't hurt her! Run! Don't tell anyone! Just go!"
The
man stopped walking and stood next to Malfoy and silenced him with a
threatening look. Then, he suddenly kicked Maggie hard in the
stomach. She clutched her stomach and fell to the ground, dropping
the two wands. The man quickly picked the wands up and pointed his at
her, eying her suspiciously.
"Who are you? How did you
know to come here?"
Maggie
trembled. "I'm Maggie, I go to school with him" She nodded
at Malfoy and continued, "I go running around the Quidditch
field every morning, for exercise, and today I heard sounds coming
from the Forbidden Forest and came to investigate."
The
man nodded and turned to Malfoy, "Is that true Draco?"
Malfoy trembled and nodded. "Yes, she's in my year at Hogwarts."
The
man nodded again and looked at her suspiciously. "I'm feeling
nice today so I won't do anything to you. You must promise never to
speak of what happened this morning, do you understand?" Maggie
nodded and he said, "Or there will be trouble." He glared
at her and then Malfoy and then disaparated with a loud pop.
Maggie
ran over to Malfoy, where he lay on the ground. His face was covered
in blood, and the rest of him with big bruises everywhere. She sat
down and put her hand on his forehead. "We should get you to
Madame Pomffrey. You look horrible and you feel like you have a
fever."
Malfoy nodded, "I feel so dizzy."
Maggie
sighed, "Here, lean on me." Malfoy got up and let her help
him hobble back to the castle. His face was dripping blood on the
floor. Not many people were in the halls, but those who were stopped
and stared.
When they got to the hospital wing, Madame
Pomffrey quickly rushed Malfoy to a bed. "What happened this
time Malfoy?" she said tiredly. Malfoy looked at Maggie, his
eyes begging her not to tell. Maggie rolled her eyes and nodded
thinking, fine, you owe me.
She smiled at Madame Pomffrey, "I was going out to run this morning, when I saw Malfoy by the Whomping Willow tree. He was stuck in it and the branches were cutting him and hitting him. I helped him get out. I tried lots of different spells but finally one worked." She finished out of breath and smiled sweetly.
Madame Pomffrey eyed Maggie suspiciously, "What spell did you use?"
She
had to think quick. "Stupefy?" Madame raised her eyebrows
and Maggie explained, "After I had frozen him I just pulled him
out by his legs."
As unbelievable as the story sounded,
Madame Pomffrey believed her and told her, "I always tell Albus
to get rid of that terrible old tree, now that we don't need it
anymore, but he insists on keeping it. I'm surprised no student has
gotten hurt by it before."
Maggie winked at Malfoy and
said, "Yes, but most Students are probably smart enough to stay
away from it."
Madame Pomffrey nodded and said, "Well Thank you for saving him Miss Miller but you'd better go now. You don't want to be late for breakfast." Maggie nodded. "Did you thank her for saving you Malfoy?" Madame said glaring at Malfoy.
Malfoy looked at his hands and mumbled, "Thanks."
Maggie
smiled, "You're welcome....Draco." Malfoy looked up trying
not to smile.
She turned and left. She skipped down to the
great hall where breakfast was already served; waffles, eggs and
bacon. She quickly found Ron, Hermione and Harry. She decided to
scare Harry, even though they were officially going out now. "Hey
Harry!" she said, jumping on his lap and smiling at his shocked
face. "I missed you so. Did you miss me?" She turned around
for a second and winked at Ginny who smiled hesitantly back.
Harry
looked very scared and finally muttered, "You know it."
After
breakfast she, Hermione, and Ginny went to the bathroom to fix makeup
and hair. As soon as they were in, all three of them burst out
laughing. "Oh my God!" cried Hermione laughing, her face
all red, "You should have seen the look on Harry's face!"
Giggling they all did their special Halloween makeup; black lipstick,
black eye shadow, very thick black eyeliner and mascara, and long
black nails.
When they were done they stood looking in the
mirror, admiring their work. Maggie laughed, "Let's go get 'em
girls!"
Ginny didn't laugh. "Maggie, are you sure you don't like Harry or are starting to? Because you seem to really enjoy going out with him."
Maggie
laughed at the worried look on Ginny's face. "No, of course not.
It's just so much fun scaring him, like today at breakfast."
Ginny still didn't look too sure. Maggie sighed, "I wasn't going
to tell you--- I wanted to surprise you but---- I'm planning on
breaking up with him. Tonight." She smiled slyly, "That is,
if it's ok with you."
Ginny tried not to show how happy
this made her. "Oh, cool. I never doubted you for a second."
Hermione rolled her eyes laughed and said, "Yea you did Gin! Maggie we should go, we don't want to be late for Potions!"
"Yea,"
said Maggie sarcastically, " 'cause it's just like the funniest
class ever!"
The three of them left the bathroom. Maggie
and Hermione walked over to where Harry and Ron were waiting, and
Ginny went in the other direction to Transfiguration. Ron smiled at
Hermione, "Hey, you look great." Harry just nodded at
Maggie, and the four of them headed to Potions.
On the way
there Ron whispered to Maggie, "Wow, you really scared Harry.
That was so funny!" he laughed and so did Hermione and Maggie.
Harry glared at them. "What's so funny?!" he demanded.
"Umm..."
Hermione stalled, then she pointed behind Maggie, "Look at
Malfoy's face!"
Malfoy was limping towards them down the
hallway, heading to Potions. His face wasn't fully healed yet. He had
two black eyes, and his nose was red and swollen, as though it had
been broken, which it had. He should be in the hospital resting. Why
did he leave before she was done healing him? Maggie thought.
A/N:
I don't know if I spelled Stupefy right, but you all know the
spell I'm talking about. I'll update as soon as I can.
