WARNING GRAPHIC GORE (or at least i hope so you can be the judge)
Red. Red. Scarlet. There was so much red. Harry froze everything was in slow motion. Drops of scarlet liquid ventured down to the stone floor and hit it with a crash of thunder that pounded in harry chest. Ice grew in the pit of his stomach and forced it way through his body bring in with it the remnants of his parlay digested dinner. The rerated substances pooled on the floor mixing with the scarlet liquid which already clung to the floor. Forming a slickly concoction of bodily fluids in front of his face.
Harry's eyes where forced shut as his body constricted as he hunch over in pain.
Blond. Blood. Images of the horrific sight flashed before the Gryffindor's eyes. Pain. Agony. Draco's mangled limbs draping limply beside his head gashes of torn and bruised mangled skin littered his exposed body his once white shirt pink and shredded hanging loosely off his warped frame.
Harry forced his eyes open his hand outreached towards the blonds levitated upturned, twisted body. Thud. Thud. His heart slowed. Pain flared in his chest. Thud each thud landed with a punch to his already strained chest. The image before him burred in to his skull, the sight worse than that he had seen behind his eyelids. Harry unsuccessfully attempted to tear his eyes from the blonds face. His features were distorted and sacred by unyielding agony.
Harry reached out his hand, shaking reaching for Draco abused face, when Harry head snapped round at the sound of a shrill scream echoing down the corridor. It was Hermione. panting and out of breath her hair more wild than he had ever seen it. She was frozen. In her hands he saw her wand and in the other a piece of parchment and he could just make out thing moving around on the parchment it was the marauders map.
"Her..."
Harry was cut off but Hermione muttering something too quietly to be heard by harry who's hand was still out stretched to wards Draco. "wha.."
"I SAID DON'T TOUCH HIM" she shrieked tear tearing down her face. "THIS IS YOUR FULT!"
"Hermione did not do this..."
"I DON'T CARE!" Hermione shrieked in a feral wail that boomed down the corridor and before harry could so much as move Draco was being levitated down the corridor and a slivery otter scurried past him. Still frozen harry watched as Draco and Hermione disappeared from his sight. The world started to spin and drums pounded in his head. She was right.
It was my fault.
"He'll be fine Miss Granger stop you're fretting. That was quite a nasty beating he got there. This might take a while you should rest. I never knew you were so close." madam Pomfrey inquired kindly. "Nobody did" Hermione sighed breathily. "I can't leave him like this" Hermione stated firmly.
"Just let me do my job" madam Pomfrey sighed in return
Dumbledore strode into the room sweeping over to the bed where Draco lay being treated and offered his survives to madam Pomfrey who gladly accepted the help.
A few minutes later professor McGonagall walked straight through the doors and address professor Dumbledore "Severus is taking care of it." Dumbledore nodded and McGonagall walked out and disappeared down the corridor.
Not long after Theo and Pansy came startling through the door of the hospital out of breath hunched over them self's they had obviously been running down the corridor. They both bore minor cuts and bruises. As soon as he recovered Theo made strait for the bed then decided against it he could see the healers hard at work and did not want to do anything to stop them. Spotting Hermione he swooped over to her and wrapped her in his arms and whispered as if he was afraid what he might be told "how is he?" Hermione sighed into the embraces and said "it hard to tell at this point but madam Pomfrey believes he will make a full recovery." Something in Theo snapped and he broke down. Tears filled his eyes and he began to sob into Hermione's shoulder. Pansy who had taken a seat on one of the empty bed opposite to Theo and Hermione moved to sit behind Theo and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder her eyes too were filling with tears. Wrapped in a solid cocoon of pain, grief and worry all of the teens failed to notice the ghost of the famed harry potter.
Harry stood there a shell of his former self, a whisper of his being, guilt consuming his sprit and tearing a hole into its very fabric. It was Draco Malfoy the ice prince that made the savoir a ghost with a pang of pain harry could almost imagine the face Draco would pull to know how he had reduced the golden boy. Seeing madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore whizzing round Draco bed made Harrys heart race Draco must have gotten here a long time ago and he was still being treated. Pain punched it way through his chest leaving a void of empty space in its wake. Thiswasmyfault.Moving into the room unseen harry slid down the nearest wall and bought his knees to his chest and stared at Draco's bed willing him into health, all the while cruising himself for being so selfish. It was my fault Iallowed this to happen.
It was gone 2:00 when madam Pomfrey placed down her wand; she had been working for 4 hours strait without rest she made sure Draco would be comfortable then she and Dumbledore turned to the children. "Draco is going to be ok, he has just lost a lot of blood and it will take some time for him to fully recover. We can only hope he does not go into a coma from the pain. Had we gotten to him sooner it would not have taken so long to stabilize him. "Madam Pomfrey explained evoking a chorus of nods.
"We think one of you should stay with him just in case. There is no telling when he will wake up and he will be in shock and he would want to see a friendly face" Dumbledore explained madam Pomfrey moved over to Theo and Pansy and began healing their cuts and bruises "sir is it safe for me and Theo to go back to our house they are the ones that attacked us and Draco." Pansy readily explained in case Dumbledore did not already know.
"I am well aware of that and it is being dealt with as we speak but you are all still in shock. I think we all need some sleep." Dumbledore spoke his tone was soft.
"Can we see him just for a few minutes" Hermione's voice was barely a whisper raw from crying it cracked in several places. "Yes you may but be quick. I know it is hard but he needs rests and so does madam Pomfrey, so quickly. Now i have to take my leave i dare say Severus will needing my assistance. And with that Dumbledore was gone.
Hermione, Theo and Pansy where at Draco's bedside at once, madam Pomfrey went off to her quarters saying she would be back soon and that she expected that only one of them would be left when she got back. Hermione was absentmindedly stroking Draco's face trying her hardest not to brush any of the particularly nasty gashes on his face. After all of madam Pomfrey's work Draco looked a lot better but he still looked to pale for Hermione's liking. Harry too was now inching closer to the bed and finally whispered "how is he?" Hermione answered with a barely audible reply "get out"
"wah?" Harry's voice confused and hurt
"i said get out!" Hermione hissed at harry
"but her..."
"GET OUT" Hermione shouted jumping up from the crouched over position she had been in before, flushing at the sound of her own voice and throwing a worried look at the porcelain ice price that lay in the bed at her side. As harry refused to move she dragged him by the scruff of the neck and dragged him into the hall.
Harry's pov:
"I CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT YOU RIGHT IS ALL YOUR FAULT! YOU SELF INVOLVED BASTERD! ARE YOU HAPPY? IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED TO HAPPEN? YOU THUG!" Hermione screamed at me each word hitting me like a bullet. "Hermione i did not do this to him i..."
"You might as well have! Why do you think this happened? All he did was like you at the moment i am having trouble seeing why!" that was all i saw before a hex hit me square in the face.
Hermione's pov:
I watched tears streaming down my face as the famed harry potter shrunk in a puff of smoke reviling a bemused frog on the floor where harry potter once stood. I ran towards him and picked him up and hissed "you think you are so good, but you never stop to think about what or who your actions affect. GROW UP! And stay away from Draco you don't deserve him." the words slipped of my tongue passion coating every word burning as it dropped. I placed harry on the ground and as if to back up the blow i had just landed a hex few at harry from a wand behind me, throwing harry across the room. I knew from the moment the words had left my lips they were too harsh and yet i could not bring myself to take them back. Not now. I ran back to the hospital wing pansy fired one last hex then flowed i did not see what Theo did.
Harry's pov:
Smoke surrounded me and everything suddenly got a lot bigger. Hermione was towering over me a larger and larger tower of rage. She lifted me up her words sting like knifes and all of a sudden i was back in that hall way.
Blood dripping from my hands i stared at Draco his mangled body left to rot. But this time i could hear his screams, i could see the pain in his eyes, the pain was tearing at his features. I was snapped back from my vision by my body falling to the floor with a thud. Then the world span as i was sent spiralling down the hall way then i saw Hermione and pansy disappear down the hall way but not before i was sent flying once more. The world came into focus once more, i felt a pair of eyes on me and suddenly i felt another pair of hands encase me. i was meet with the face of Theodore Nott pain etched into every corner of his face i could not bring myself to look into his eyes the pain there could pierce even the blackest hart of lord Voldemort himself. His wand was raised and pointed at me then the anger in his face disappeared and his wand drooped to the floor with a clank. I heard him whisper "I can't. I can't. Not knowing what he means to Draco, no." Then his eyes meet mine and i was hit with a wave of pain and anguish before i averted my eyes. "meet me here before breakfast we need to talk."
he swept away after picking up his wand and he too disappeared out of sight. I felt my limbs grow back slowly. When they finally formed i brought my legs to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. My whole body stung, the pain was the best comfort i would have never have thought to ask for, knowing i was suffering made me happy that something was being done as revenge for him. As much as Hermione's words had stung me and hurt excruciatingly it was Theo's eyes that hunted me , such sorrow in his hazel eyes a storm swirling about his iris and yet there had been no tears that fell from them and somehow that made me feel worse. The dry eyes of Theo ripped a hole in my heart, right through the core of my sloe. One i did not know if he could truly fill again. Mainly because i did not know what had been ripped from me. And i was left with the sweet sting of bitter pain. That all Ideserve now.This is my fault.
I hope you liked that. I can make no promises to up load soon cause I broke the others.
love ya
see ya
