'Damn...' Kagome watched the moron teacher before her as he bent Harry's wrist backwards. He had just caught the Golden Snitch right before Draco could, when a rogue bludger had chosen that moment to crash into the front of Harry's broom stick, and hitting both of their dominant hands, sending both Seeker's whirling downward at a dangerously fast speed. Kagome, being the first to pull her wand, had shouted out Aresto Momentum, the loud collection of gasps as she lowered both two the ground carefully kind of annoyed her, and the frightened hand resting on her shoulder had caused her to react as quickly as she had. However, she hadn't been paying attention to the rogue bludger that had obviously been chasing Harry for the majority of the game, as it had tried to take him out completely. Thankfully, Hermione had, shouting out Finite Incantatem, blowing the ball up and causing pieces of debris to fall around both boys.
Excusing herself from Lucius, Narcissa and Snape, she recalled the spell Draco had used to summon his broom when he had gone riding many nights ago, Accio Nimbus 2001. Watching his broom fly off in her direction, she jumped up and caught it, flying down on the broom towards the gathering group of both students and staff. "Draco!" Kagome called, running towards the platinum blonde who was laughing uncontrollably at Harry while wheezing in pain as he did. "...Draco?" She walked up cautiously and he pointed to Harry who was looking down in bewilderment.
This was where she stood now, Lockhart kneeling before Harry, holding his now boneless arm.
Draco, was also nursing a broken arm. Kagome sat beside him, and carefully removing the arm guard around his broken arm, his hand moved to stop her, but she smiled, calming his nerves and making him feel a little more comfortable with her doing whatever it was she was doing. Pulling off her robe, she took her wand and whispered something that none heard, and watching the tip of her wand glow, she dragged it across the fabric where her sleeve connected with the robe and then started stripping the sleeve into parts. Taking one piece, she firmly wrapped his arm, unaware of the two parents now standing behind her, the mother clearly more worried than the father, who was trying to look confidant and unperturbed by his sons fall and hit; though, he was curious to what Kagome was doing. She finished tying the last few pieces together, then wrapping it so that it sat tied behind Draco's neck, but held his arm to his chest securely and unmoving. "I will let Madam Pomfrey take care of the rest, can you stand?"
He gave a nod, just as Madam Pomfrey arrived to check on the boys.

Kagome finished another letter to her father and sighed. Draco and Harry were in the hospital room, Draco for not nearly as long, since he still had his bones in his arm, but Harry for at least the rest of the week.
"I can't believe I have to do this!" She was practically seething, hating the fact that she was doing something like lying, even if it was for Draco. 'But...it keeps him out of trouble...' She walked up to the Owlery and entered the room, pausing at the sight of Professor Snape standing in her way. "Professor?"
"The tickets have been taken care of, for Mr. Nott and Mr. Zabini."
Kagome felt the letter being taken from her hand and turned as he left. '...what?' Straightening up quickly, she chased after her Potions Professor. Calling out his name, she was half tempted to shout out his first and last name, but figured, she respected him, so...well, that and she really wanted to see if she could keep out of detention for longer than a week. "Professor!" She called, "Professor! Professor, please slow down!" She ran forward and took the sleeve of his robe in her hand, "What did you mean? Please, tell me that you didn't buy the tickets..."
"I didn't buy the tickets."
'This seems familiar.' She glared, "Your lying,"
He smirked, "I prefer to think of it as following instructions."
"...that's not fair! I don't want you to feel obligated─"
"A gift." He interrupted. "For my favorite student."
Her hand loosened as she stared up at him, his serious expression didn't really fit his words, but it did bring a smile to her face. "Thanks Professor, I'll make sure I repay you!"
"...yes, well...maybe one day you can. However, why not actually ask Mr. Nott and Mr. Zabini, if they'll join you and Draco."
She cringed, "Right...I still need to write to dad...telling─"
"Telling him of the two extra guests that will be arriving with you?" He asked, once again interrupting her, "Already taken care of, now go, convince two Slytherin's to attend your vacation trip to Romania."
Kagome watched him leave, his sleeve slipping from her fingers as she tried to think up a way to convince Theodore, since, she was ninety percent sure Blaise would go just to hang out with Draco, if not to see and ride Dragons. She raced down to the Hospital Wing where a crowd of Gryffindor's surrounded Harry, and a rather large group of Slytherin's was surrounding Draco. She saw Blaise laughing with Draco and nearly growled at the impossibly large crowd. "Draco, I need to borrow Blaise for a minute,"
Draco glanced up and watched Blaise frown with confusion, "What for?"
"I'll tell you later tonight, when there aren't so many people surrounding you." She smiled, pulling Blaise by the sleeve of his shirt and out of the room.
"What is it?"
Kagome sighed, "Would you like to go to Romania with me, Draco and hopefully, Theodore?"
Blaise looked surprised, "Sure, my mum is off on her honeymoon with dad anyways, so that'll be great. I'll write her so that she knows."
"Great, tickets have already been purchased!" Kagome smiled brightly, "Now, think you could help me out with Theodore?"
Blaise grinned, "Draco would have better luck with that. I can ask─"
"I will! I still need to ask him to come with me to Romania, I haven't gotten the chance yet because of the large crowd, and slightly afraid..."
"Of what?"
She shrugged, "I don't know, maybe he won't want to go."
Blaise laughed, "Oh, trust me, he'll want to go!"
Kagome smiled, 'We'll see...'

Sneaking into the Hospital wing around eleven o'clock, Kagome smiled at the sleeping figure of Draco. She walked over and saw Harry too was asleep. Feeling a little guilty, she shook it off and gave a slight jostle to Draco's arm and watched him jolt awake. "Sorry!"
"Wha─?
"Shhh~"Kagome looked to make sure Harry was still asleep and sighed, "I came to talk to you about earlier. I wanted to ask you first, but you were busy, so I asked Blaise to get him out of the way."
Draco didn't like the way she'd worded that, but decided to wait for her to continue before jumping to conclusions.
"I have four tickets, one for me of course, to Romania. Blaise is coming, I want to know if you'll join me in Romania too."
Draco stared for a few moments, "I don't think I can."
"Your mother and father agreed to it!"
"What!"
"Yeah, mind you, your mom and I had to lie to your dad, which I feel horrible about." She filled him in on what had happened and sighed, "He thinks Blaise and Theodore are coming, so Professor Snape got two more tickets for them, if you agree, which I hope you will, I'll just have to convince Theodore to come with us." She yawned.
Draco smiled, "I'll go. Of course I'll go. You did all of this, and even if I think you were bloody bonkers going so far, I'm glad to be somewhere else beside's home or school."
"Good," She got down on her knees, sleepy from the exhausting day she'd had, she rested her head on his hospital bed, and within seconds, to the feel of fingers running through her wavy black locks, she fell asleep.
'I'm going to strangle Blaise, he could have told me!' He glared at the door before sighing, standing, and lifting Kagome into the bed he was in, perfectly content with letting her head rest on his lap as he sat up and brushed the girls' hair soothingly. Though, it had taken a bit to get back into bed with a soar arm and not waking her. He had to be quiet, and careful as he lifted her head to place it on his lap.
"Héllo!"
Draco looked over and noticed Harry sitting up and staring right in front of him, then he noticed at the foot of Harry's bed, a very familiar figure.
"Dobby!" Harry and Draco called simultaneously.
Both Harry and Dobby jumped at Draco's voice, and as Dobby raised his fingers to snap himself away, Draco called, "Do not vanish!"
Dobby lowered his fingers nervously.
Harry frowned when suddenly he realized what was going on.
"The Malfoy's, they are the family that you serve...!"
"Actually, he serve's father, he practically raised me." Draco held his hand out, and Dobby moved forward and rested his forehead against Draco's fingers. "What are you doing here Dobby?"
"Uh..."
"He's popped up a few times now," Harry said, moving so that his feet hung over the bed he now sat on, he took note of Kagome, but said nothing on the topic of the Gryffindor girl.
Dobby frowned, "Harry Potter should have listened to Dobby. Harry Potter should have gone back home when he missed the train!"
"It was you..." Harry muttered.
Draco frowned, "Missed the train?"
Harry nodded, "Yeah, he stopped the barrier from letting Ron and me through, we almost broke are necks!"
Draco looked curiously at the meek and docile house elf that he'd grown up with since birth. "You did that?"
"...indeed, Young Master."
"He nearly got Ron and I expelled!"
"At least you would be away from here! Harry Potter must go home! Dobby thought his bludger would be enough to make Harry Potter see th─"
"Your bludger?"
Draco frowned, "You set that thing after Harry?" He sneered, "It hit me too, Dobby!"
"Many apologies, Young Master~! Dobby feels most aggrieved, sir. Dobby had to iron his hands."
"You better clear off before my bones comeback, Dobby, or I might have to strangle you!"
"I second that, I have all of my bones in tact, thankfully, but unless you have something you'd like to tell him, that will help him, leave!" Draco inhaled and exhaled, "Why are you trying so hard to slaughter him anyways?"
Dobby stared aghast at the thought, "Never, never! Not slaughter, no! Dobby remembers how it was before Harry Potter triumphed over He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named! We house elves were treated like vermin, sir. Of course, Dobby is still treated like vermin."
Draco looked at the house elf and watched him snivel and cry, sneezing into his rags. 'Dobby...'
"Such a horrible thing to say, kind Draco has done no such harm to Dobby, only the occasional threat, but never harm..." He blew his nose into his rags again.
Harry cringed, "Why do you wear that thing, Dobby?"
Draco answered, "He has to, as a sign of the house elves enslavement, he has to wear that nasty rag. He will only be free, if my father were to give him an article of clothing. If I or mother were to free him, father would surely be angry."
The sound of a door opening caught the threes' attention; Draco moved a pillow so that it was against both his back and head.
"Listen, please, both of you listen!" Dobby whispered, "Terrible things are about to happen at Hogwarts!"
Draco watched his house elf warn Harry, while also giving him the information too.
"Harry Potter mustn't stay here, now that History...is to repeat itself!"
"Repeat itself? You mean that this has happened before?"
Dobby looked terrified, a look Draco was used to; Dobby had said something that would get him punished horribly by his father if Lucius was to ever hear about it.
"I shouldn't have said that!" He grabbed the bottle on Harry's side table and began hitting himself hard in the head with it.
"Shh~" Draco looked down at Kagome, then turned a hard look onto Dobby and Harry who was wrestling the bottle from Dobby's hands. "Do you want someone to catch us up!"
Harry placed the freed bottle back down and glared at Dobby, taking the house elf by the dirty rag he wore. "Tell me, Dobby, when did this happen before? Who's doing it now?"
"Dobby cannot say, sir, Dobby only wants Harry Potter to be safe."
"Harry, he can't say anything! He's probably sworn under oath!" Draco hissed out irritably, he was tired, and wanted the two to go away, go to sleep, or both. The door opened and Draco nodded to the house elf who looked to him for permission to leave after being told a while ago to stay. Dobby snapped his fingers and vanished from Harry's grip. Harry looked to his hand where the house elf had once been, then quickly climbed back in bed and tossed his blanket halfway across his body.
Draco closed his eyes and truly fell asleep, not caring for anymore drama. He would question Harry on it tomorrow, since Mr-Let's-Play-Hero always seemed to be searching for answers, he would no doubt want to know who is still up at this time and why they are in the infirmary, or why they are being brought in to the infirmary. But right now, Draco wanted sleep, and didn't care if Hogwarts was in trouble, not right now...
