Healer Cartwright came back in and finished healing him, "now you'll have a feel aches and pains but they should be fine by Sunday night so you can return to school then, though if you heal really well you could be out of here by tomorrow morning, though you'll have to keep resting."
After the healer left Draco whinged, "I had to go through all that suffering and I don't even get one lousy day of school!"
"Well lucky school is fun then isn't it?"
"Fun isn't one of the words I would use to describe school with," Draco told her dully.
"So are you saying our little excursion to Australia wasn't fun?"
"That was fun, a lot of fun, but school in general isn't."
"Well I didn't mean the classes, I was talking more about Quidditch, time with your friends and time with your boyfriend."
"Yeah that kind of school is fun I agree."
"Good I like it when we agree," she told him, "by the way we're defiantly sending Bradley to Dumstrung."
"Do I get a say in this?"
"Only if you agree with me."
"Don't I always agree with you?"
"Only if I ask you, 'do you want to make out?' then you always agree."
"Can you blame me?" Draco asked with a childish grin on his face.
"Not at all," she told him as she gave his a quick kiss on the lips, "not at all."
"It's already one o'clock where is the food around here?"
"I'm hungry too, I didn't get any breakfast this morning!"
"All I had was a few candy bars I found in my pocket."
"Eww that could have been there for ages, well I'm going to get us some real food, don't you go any where," she ordered, "you need rest."
"Fine I'll stay in bed as long as you come back quickly."
"See you in a tick," she told him before leaning over and giving him a delicate but firm kiss.
"Love you," she told him as she left to go find a cafeteria.
Amanda returned after only a short while, with cans of butter beer and a burger for each of them.
"Burgers," he sounded impressed, "aren't they full of fat."
"So you don't want it?" Amanda asked pulling his plate and burger away from him.
"Never mind," he told her and she gave her burger back.
After lunch they spent the rest afternoon playing wizards chess' and being silly.
Before dinner Healer Cartwright came and gave Draco a check up. He told them that Draco was recovering remarkably well from the attack and would defiantly be able to go back to school on Sunday.
Amanda laid next to Draco on his hospital with her head propped up by her hand, "you know if we weren't in a hospital this would be fun, you know having part of the weekend to ourselves, assuming that you go home tomorrow."
"Who said it can't be fun?" Draco asked in a mischievous voice.
"Umm all the healers in the hospital popping in every half an hour to check up on today's celebrity."
"Yeah I heard I was in the Prophet, that's pretty cool."
"No not cool, it said you were missing presumed dead by Death Eater attack."
"Calm down I'm fine, I'll prove it."
He sat up slightly and wrapped his arm around her waist, "see I can hug you," he kissed her lips lightly, "I can kiss you."
"Even a crippled grandfather could kiss someone like that that doesn't prove anything," Amanda told him, "eww, mental image."
Draco kissed her again this time though she moved her arm and let him move his chest and the rest of his upper body on top of her, so he could prove his point that he wasn't weak. He supported his weight with one arm while the other was innocently on her hip. Draco stopped kissing her when she started laughing, "what's so funny?"
"I'm just surprised that you weren't bluffing," Amanda lied while trying to contain her laughter.
"Okay I know you're lying, but do I really want to know?"
"I reckon you'll find out tomorrow," Amanda laughed before she started kiss him, this time though she was half lying on top of him. A young assistant healer, who was bringing Draco some more potions to take before dinner, interrupted them. She seemed to be very embarrassed; as she quickly made sure that he took his potion before leaving at a brisk walk with a flushed face, leaving Amanda laughing.
After dinner, which again was unhealthy us Amanda decided to give him a break as he was injured, the same assistant healer that walked in on them making out, came to set up a bed for Amanda, so she could stay the night.
Mean while at Hogwarts Harry was beginning to worry, it was nearly dinnertime and they still hadn't found her. The figured out she must of left the school after it was searched a few times, but Dumbledore had no idea how.
Harry had spent nearly his entire Saturday on his bed looking at the Marauders Map in hope of finding Amanda lurking in a corridor. He wanted to take the map with him to dinner but Hermione said it wasn't a good idea, eventually a reluctant Harry agreed it was best to leave the map behind.
At dinner Harry wasn't very hungry due to worry, which caused his moral was at a record low. Not knowing if somebody is okay is nearly worse then knowing something's wrong.
About three dozen owls came to deliver the Evening Prophet to the few who subscribed to it. Harry just sat there lazily eating his food not noticing anything around him, unlike Hermione who noticed the gasping, cheering, moans, giggling and laughing going on through out the hall, particular at the Slytherin table where everyone was cheering and wolf whistling. Well everyone except Pansy who looked flat out mad.
"Malfoy must be better to make all the Slytherin's this happy," Hermione told Harry Ron and Ginny, who all just noticed the commotion.
As he came back down to earth Harry asked, "What's going on?"
"I'm not sure there must be something in the Evening Prophet," Ginny suggested.
Ginny quickly hopped up and ran over to borrow a Hufflepuff's Prophet, what she saw on the cover made her burst out laughing.
"Now everybody think of the bright side, at least we know Malfoy's okay," Ginny told them while struggling to breath due to laughter.
Ron who was nearest to her grabbed the paper out of her hands to see what she was laughing at, what he saw on the front page shocked him. Hermione took the paper of him so she could see, "I told you so!" She shouted.
"Told us what? Can I see?" Harry asked.
"I'm sorry Harry," Hermione told him as she handed him the paper.
When Harry saw the front page you could almost hear his heart break in two. On the front cover was a big moving picture of Malfoy laying half on top of Amanda kissing her passionately; she didn't seem to mind though as she seemed to be smiling as she kissed him.
"At least we know that Amanda's safe too," Harry told Ron, Hermione and Ginny, while he stared at the front page and scanned the article, which simply said he was found safe although severely hurt, but he would be able to return to school the following day. It said he was healing miraculously fast due to the fact that he partially healed when he brought in, at the bottom of the article it said more pictures on the next page.
Harry turned over the page, revealing many pictures of severe injuries that looked rather nasty.
"Oww they look bad, who's gotten hurt?" Neville asked, not knowing who was in the picture.
"Malfoy," Harry stated dully.
"Ouch poor him, just when I was starting to like him too."
"What?" Harry asked.
"Well not like him, but he's actually been nice lately."
"How do you know?"
"I've been helping him in Herbology, Sprout assigned us as a pair."
"Neville, he's Malfoy! He's never nice!" Harry tried to explain.
Neville simply shrugged and walked off. Hermione secretly agreed with Neville, apart from the first few days he hadn't done anything mean to them and so far this year he hadn't called her a mudblood once when usually he called her that twice a day.
