Chapter 7

I laid back on the lounge thinking about everything that had happened in the last forty eight hours as I dramatically put the back of my arm over my forehead, mouthing woe is me. I didn't feel like moving as I turned my head to the left and looked around the dimly lit room as my eyes began to feel heavy, I yawned tiredly as I closed my eyes.

I woke up on my own as I rubbed my eyes slightly sloppily before opening them properly; I looked around as I noticed I was in my room, how did I get here? I sat up in my nice comfy bed as I let one more yawn escape my lips before pulling off my blankets and hopping up out of bed.

I walked out into the main room as I saw Draco in the kitchen; he was wearing boxer shorts and nothing else as I let out a goofy smile seeing his nicely built body in the flesh made me want to kiss him, but I held back as I walked over to the kitchen.

"Did you move me?" I asked from right behind him, causing him to jump in slight shock.

"God Granger, yes I did move you and you sleep like a log just so you know." Draco hissed as he pulled out the milk from the fridge.

"I was tired!" I protested as he laughed putting the milk on the side counter, he had a cute laugh.

"Want to spend your free period with me?" He asked suddenly as he stood right in front of me.

"There is no such thing; I have a study period though." I felt like a nerd as soon as the words left my mouth as I mentally sighed at me.

"Oh come on Granger." He seemed so light and free today as he swiftly picked me up and placed me on the side counter as I laughed at him.

"I can't anyway I promised Ron I'd help him with herbology." I replied as he put his arms around my back, sending shivers up it as he did.

"Do you have too?" He almost seemed like he was pouting as for the second time this morning he made me laugh.

"Yes I promised…" I smiled as I lazily draped my arms over his shoulders, clasping my hands together once I did.

"No way I can stop you?" He asked hopefully as I shook my head no just before gently placing my lips onto his as I kissed him.

He pulled me closer to him as I wrapped my legs around him and in an instant we were making out passionately, I felt myself go breathless as my head went fuzzy.

"Draco, are you in this time?" A voice called out as I jumped off Draco in an instant.

"God dam it." I heard Draco curse as he walked towards the front door.

"Ah good to see you're here this time." I realised the voice to be Goyle as I rolled my eyes and poured myself a small glass of milk.

"What do you want?" Draco growled as he walked over to the trusty lounge that sat in the middle of the main room.

I put the milk back into the fridge as I turned around to see Goyle standing behind me smirking as I pulled a face of disgust as I looked at him.

"Hi." He smirked as I rolled my eyes.

"Away." Draco growled as we both turned our gaze towards him.

"Me?" Goyle asked with a confused look on his face.

"Yes." Draco replied simply as he gave me a small real smile before grunting at Goyle to come here.

I smiled back at him as I turned to go get ready for my day with Ron, I pulled out my clothes from my room, had a hot shower and did my hair and make up; fifteen minutes later I was out the door.


I walked down the large hallway of Hogwarts castle as I made my way towards the library, part of me thought that if Goyle hadn't walked in I would have stayed with him; I let out a small smile as I also blushed slightly. All of a sudden I realised there was no one else around me as I looked behind myself seeing absolutely no one.

I tried to keep myself calm as I continued walking, I felt a cold chill as I hugged myself and rubbed my hands up and down my fore arm, I shivered as I felt something warm on my neck. I froze as the warm thing on my neck felt like breathing, I slowly got the courage to turn around as I saw the large black bodied Grim Seeker standing over me, I didn't even have enough breath to scream as I was face to face with it as it's deep black eyes stared me down, I was close enough to see it's sharp yellow teeth as it let out a low growl, my mind was playing a trick on me I said over and over as I closed my eyes and stood as still as anything.

I heard it let out an ear-piercing scream as I opened my eyes in fear, I saw it high on its back legs; I had enough in me to move back slowly as it came down on me swiping at me as it fell back onto the ground. I let out a yelp of pain as I grabbed my right arm, as I pulled my hand away I saw blood coming out of four large deep gashes on my forearm… My mind wasn't playing tricks on me, it screamed at me again as I turned and began running for it.

My mind was telling me I couldn't out run this thing as I heard it coming after me, I pushed myself to run faster as I took a sharp left turn and continued running as I heard it crash into the wall slightly but not enough to stop it as it continued after me, letting out terrifying screams. I felt it catching up to me and I was running out of energy as I quickly pulled out my wand.

"Defodio!" I turned and yelled as I tripped over my footing.

The ground just in front of me spiked up violently as I fell backwards, tripping over my ankle causing me to roll slightly, I saw the Grim Seeker crash into the spike causing it to trip over its large clumsy feet and seemingly fall just enough to go over the top of me and crash into the wall at the end of the hall. All of a sudden I heard people scream as the area that the Grim Seeker had smashed into made a large crack in the stone, it was then I realised that the Grim Seeker had vanished as I was left on the floor with the spike that saved my life to the left of me and the giant crack in the wall to the right of me, I couldn't move as my arm burned with pain. People began to surround me as I held onto my arm and breathed heavily.

"Are you okay?" I heard someone ask me as I looked up at them before shaking my head as my arm burned.

"What happened here?" I heard Professor Snape growl as the students that had circled around me moved out of the way as they let him through.

Professor Snape walked up to me as I looked up at him, my eye site became fuzzy as I held onto my arm tightly, I heard him bark orders to a younger student to get Dumbledore and quickly as he bent down next to me, he pulled my hand away from my wounds.

"Did a Grim Seeker do this?" I heard him ask as I nodded slowly.

I cried out in pain as I grabbed back onto my arm as it burned violently, I could feel Snape try and hold me down as my body shook, this pain was unbelievable as I looked up at Snape who was trying to tell me to do something but I couldn't quite hear what he was saying.

"Out of my way!" Dumbledore's loud old voice boomed as the students moved quickly out of his way.

"The cuts are pretty deep Albus." Snape said in his flat tone, still holding me down.

"We must get her to Madam Pomfrey and quickly." Dumbledore said as he quickly began to walk off again.

I felt my body lift off the ground as I tried to think of anything other then my arm burning, but not thinking about it made it worse as I let out a scream off pain…


I opened my eyes with a growl as I looked around, back in the hospital wing… I saw Professor Snape, Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey all talking at the end of my bed, not noticing I was awake.

"What happened?" I asked blankly as the three stopped talking and looked at me.

"I was beginning to worry about you Miss Granger." Dumbledore spoke to me with such care in his voice.

"There was no one around me when I first saw it…" I sighed as I looked at him for answers.

"Yes it seems the grim seeker pulled you into something different, somewhere different even." Dumbledore rambled as I gave him a weird look.

I went to push myself up into a seated position as I felt my arm burn as I let out a small hiss of pain as I grabbed my arm, remembering the scratches.

"Does it burn still?" Professor Snape leered at me as I slowly nodded.

"There isn't anything else I can do." Madam Pomfrey tried to whisper to Dumbledore but I heard her just fine.

"Why does it burn?" I asked as I held onto my wound tightly.

"The grim seeker has such a gruesome way of killing its victim, its claws cause burning and blurred vision just before you pass out from the pain, as its bite holds deadly poison but not instant poison slow and burning poison that causes the most excruciating pain." Snape answered as he looked at the wound on my arm.

I looked at it too as it was a dark black in colour as my whole forearm around it was bruised, the wounds themselves were deep and they still burned, but not as bad as before.

"Quick thinking with that spell, Miss Granger." Dumbledore smiled at me in his gentle way as I thought back to the attack.

"Sir… why didn't anyone else see me or the grim seeker until I had fallen over and it had crashed into the wall?" I asked as I looked up at him.

"It had you in its spell; they are very dangerous enemies Miss Granger." Dumbledore replied with concern in his voice as he peered over the rim of his glasses at me.

"Hermione!" I heard my name being called from the doorway as I looked over and saw Draco as he let out a sigh of relief.

I couldn't help but smile as he jogged over to me, he took one look at my arm as confusion and anger and worry all crossed his face within two seconds.

"Mr Malfoy shouldn't you be elsewhere." I heard Professor Snape questioned as he looked at him.

"No I have a study period." Draco replied with a sort of snarl as Professor Snape turned and walked away.

"I will leave you two alone, take care Miss Granger." Dumbledore smiled as he turned and slowly followed after Snape.

"What did you do to yourself this time Granger?" Draco sighed as he looked at my arm.

"Mm Grim Seeker got me." I mumbled as I gently ran my hand over my scratches letting out a little whimper of pain.

"You okay?" Draco asked straight away as I turned to look at him.

"How did you hear anyway?" I asked with a slight sigh at the end on the word 'way'.

"Someone yelling outside, it went something like 'The head girl was attacked, I think she's dead.' You almost gave me a heart attack." He growled at me as I gave him a small smile.

"For a moment I thought I was going too." I replied truthful as I looked down at the ground.

"See you should have stayed with me." Draco lightly teased as I gave him a small smile.

"That ran through my mind too." I laughed a little before realising he wasn't laughing with me.

I looked at him as he was staring at me; he came in closer and kissed me lightly as I enjoyed having his soft lips on mine. He broke the kiss as I looked up at him with a small smile.

"What are we doing?" I asked slowly as I continued to look into his stormy grey eyes.

"In what way?" Draco asked slightly confused as he squished himself next to me on the bed.

"Well… what are we?" I rolled my eyes as he let out a small laugh.

"Do we have to be anything?" Draco asked as I felt a little sharp pain in my heart.

"I guess not." I replied slightly hurt, but then why would it be any different?

"I wouldn't have thought you'd want to be anything." Draco said as he looked off in the distance.

"Why would you think that?" I asked as I followed his gaze out into nothing.

"It would mean letting people know we are 'together'." Draco replied as he turned to look at me.

"You think I'm embarrassed?" I was slightly confused as to why he was saying this.

"Harry and Ron hate me remember?" Draco let out a low growl, Oh.

"But I love you." I bit my lip as soon as I said it, why did I say it?

There was a long uncomfortable silence as I avoided looking at him, so I wasn't quite sure what he was doing, part of me was yelling at myself but the other part of me wanted him to say it back.

"So what you're my girlfriend?" Draco asked, breaking the silence making me look at him.

"Not if you don't want that." I said quickly as I once again felt like an idiot, this whole 'love' thing sucks.

"Well, you love me… I … Love you… So I guess all that's left is to ask…" Draco said slowly as I felt my heart beat a little faster.

"You mean that?" I didn't like being this vulnerable but he seemed to know what to say to make me feel it when I was around him.

"Be mine, Granger." It was roughly done and very unromantic as I let out a small laugh.

"Sweet right till the end I see." I said sarcastically as he smirked at me.

"I want you to be only mine." Draco said quietly as he took a hold of my hands with his rough large ones.

"Even if I'm a mud blood?" I asked quietly as I looked away from him.

"It never mattered to me personally." He answered just as quietly as he brought his hand up to my cheek and turned my face to face him.

He kissed me once again and once again my mind went fuzzy, every time he was around me I couldn't think properly and he made me feel special in a way; he slipped his arms around my waist as he gently pulled me towards him as he continued to kiss me. I heard a throat clear as I pulled away from Draco and looked over at the doorway; Ginny was standing there with a grin on her face before running towards me.

"Oh thank god! I thought you were dead!" Ginny squealed as she pulled me into a hug and squeezed me way too tight, causing pain in my arm.

"I might be soon though." I wheezed out as Ginny let go of me in a second.

"I was so worried when I heard you were rushed off to the hospital wing by Snape and Dumbledore." Ginny spoke quickly as she did when she was worried.

"I'm fine… Just a little scratch." I replied as I heard Draco mumble something under his breath.

"What?" Ginny asked as she looked down at my arm as she seemed to go pale.

"I'm fine Ginny; Grim Seeker just got me a little." I sighed as I put my hand over my wounds.

"Well I can see you've been looked after." Ginny smirked as she looked over at Draco.

"Where is Harry and Ron?" I asked changing the subject causing Ginny to glance back at me.

"I don't know." Ginny replied as she pulled a face that told me she was thinking.

"You'd think they'd be here considering everyone thinks I'm dead." I puffed, crossing my arms across my chest in annoyance.

"They'll be here soon Granger stop complaining, I've got to go to Ancient runes." Draco wrinkled his nose at the class as I shook my head.

"See you later then." I said as he gave me a quick kiss before walking off, grunting a bye to Ginny.

"Oh well, look at that." Ginny smirked as she plunked herself onto the hospital bed.

"We're together." Ginny let out the biggest squeal I have ever heard as it caused me to twitch slightly.

"God!" I growled as I rubbed my ears dramatically while I looked up at the charming red-head.

"Finally you guys are together!" Ginny squealed as she hugged me excitedly.

"Hermione!" I heard the squeaky voice of Ron as I looked over and smiled at him.

"'Bout time." Ginny growled at her brother, whacking him as he walked up to us.

"I only just heard." Ron replied as he took me into a big bear hug causing my arm to burn with pain.

"How did you only just hear? Everyone thought she was dead!" Ginny said pulling her brother off me as she saw the pain on my face.

"They just said she was hurt." Ron replied as he looked at his sister in a confused way.

"Grim Seeker." Ginny said simply, pointing to my right forearm.

"Gees Mione, that's disgusting!" Ron seemed almost impressed at the way it had turned out on my skin.

"Thank you Ronald." I replied with quite a lot of sarcasm.

"Where is Harry?" Ginny questioned, looking at her brother sharply.

"I don't know I wasn't with him when I heard." Ron answered pushing her slightly as she frowned back at him.

"Doesn't matter I'm not staying here anyway." I pulled myself off the bed as I got up onto my feet.

"I don't think they wanted you to leave." Ginny looked at me as I simply waved her off.

"Are you even alright?" Ron asked as he took a hold of my left arm to make sure I was steady.

"I'm perfectly fine it was just a little scratch." I answered stubbornly as I accepted Ron's help to steady myself.

"Hermione I really don't think—"

"I'm fine!" I growled interrupting her, not wanting to continue this argument.

"If you say so." She sighed as she followed closely behind me.


I walked out of the Hospital wing as Ron walked next to me looking like if I dropped at any moment he would be ready to catch me, Ginny was behind me as she kept looking back to see if any teachers were coming after us as if she had broken a prisoner out of jail.

"Would you two relax?" I sighed as I stopped walking and turned to look at the two.

"If it's still that bad even though you've been to Madam Pomfrey, don't you think that makes it really, really bad?" Ginny asked with a concerned tone to her voice.

"I'm going to talk to Dumbledore." I answered bluntly as they both said 'Oh' at the same time.

"Why didn't you just say that in the first place?" Ginny growled as she pouted slightly.

"Because you Ginevra have Care of Magical Creatures and you Ronald, have Herbology." I said sternly looking at the two off them as they stared dumbfounded back at me.

"Go!" I ordered as they both jumped slightly, before walking away from me mumbling as they did so.

I rolled my eyes as I turned back and continued on my way towards Dumbledore's office, I looked around to see people whispering to each other as I walked passed them and they followed me with their eyes. This happened to me the whole way to the office, as I reached the office I made my way inside.

"Sir?" I called out just before I entered the simply breath taking room.

"Come in Miss Granger, no doubt you have some questions." Dumbledore replied as he sat behind his large wooden desk.

"Sir, what am I suppose to do about this Grim Seeker?" I asked slowly as I stood in front of his desk.

"I am trying to figure that out myself." Dumbledore answered as he lent back in his chair and looked at me.

"… Am I a danger to be around?" I asked quietly as I carefully ran my hand over my wounds.

"We are all a danger to be around Miss Granger." Dumbledore said in his wise old way as he slowly got to his feet.

"But am I more dangerous at the moment?" I rephrased the question hoping he'd give me a straight up answer.

"If you are worried about Miss Weasley, Mr Weasley, Mr Potter and Mr Malfoy, I don't think you should." He said as I blushed at the fact he said Draco's name in the mix.

"Are you sure?" I asked unsure as he made his way over to me.

"Friends are always the best thing to hold close when one is in danger, Miss Granger." He smiled at me as he stood in front of me.

"I don't want them getting hurt." I sighed as he let out a small chuckle.

"If I understand it Miss Granger, they are the ones keeping you safe." Dumbledore smiled at me as I gave him a small smile back.

"But I will let you know if I have any more information on this beast as soon as I get it." He added hand gesturing for me to walk with him.

"I don't have to go back to the hospital wing do I?" I complained as I followed him slowly.

"No Miss Granger but I would like you to rest for a day or two in your room." Dumbledore replied as he led me down his large spiral stairs as I walked just slightly behind him.

"You mean no class?" I asked with a slight disappointment to my voice.

"Work will be given to you for you to do, don't worry about that." Dumbledore chuckled once again as we now walked down a hallway.

"So I can't leave my room at all?" I whinged out before realising I was sounding like a child.

"No and, for now at least I think it would be good for you not to come to the Quidditch match tomorrow either, students are scared of you." Dumbledore spoke sternly to me but that didn't stop me from frowning, it wasn't my fault it was after me.

"Yes Sir." I sighed in defeat, following Dumbledore not really knowing where he was leading me.

I walked silently as Dumbledore continued down the hallway and then turned left before stopping and holding his hand out telling me to stop; he walked into a class room as I stood waiting out the front of it. A minute or so later he walked out as I saw Draco right behind him.

"Since you two are living with each other, Mr Malfoy I want you to make sure she stays in bed, although she feels fine now she won't be in an hour or so." Dumbledore was speaking to Draco as he nodded to his instructions.

"Since I know of you're feelings for each other I couldn't think of anyone better for the job." Dumbledore added simply as he walked off leaving me blushing like an idiot.

"Good thing too, that class was boring." Draco smirked at me as I rolled my eyes.

"I'm really fine I don't need you to look after me." I said stubbornly, still pouting over the fact I couldn't go to classes for the next two days.

"Come on Granger, in to bed with you." Draco ordered as he picked me up off my feet causing me to blush… again!

I went to protest but he would hear nothing of it, I sighed as I let him carry me to our room; I had the feeling he liked carrying me around. Once in our dorm he walked into my large elegant room and gently put me down onto my incredibly soft and comfy bed before putting the covers over me.

"…Thank you Draco…" I said quietly, feeling like a child as I pulled the blankets up to my chin.

"No thank you for getting me outta' ancient ruins." Draco replied as he sat down just next to me.

"Harry didn't come find me." I sighed putting my head onto the two large fluffy pillows behind me.

"Maybe Potter will come later." Draco grunted seemingly dissatisfied that Harry would be around any time soon.

"He's my best friend you know." I said bluntly, I cuddled myself under the blankets as I felt cold.

"Yeah doesn't mean I have to like him." He mumbled something under his breath as well but I didn't quite catch what he said.

"I don't expect you to like him, I just expect you to tolerate him." I looked at him before feeling all of my energy drain and then I felt very hot.

"Yeah well as long as he does the same… You right?" Draco asked all of a sudden as he put his hand on my forehead before taking it off quickly.

"You're burning up Granger." I heard him say as I struggled to keep my eyes open.

"I don't feel so good." I growled feeling my head spin and a sharp pain in my stomach as I hurled over, holding onto it.

"Do you want me to take you back to the hospital wing?" Draco asked in a worried voice, even though he tried to hide his worry.

I shook my head in replied as I let out a moan of pain, I didn't think I could ever hurt in so many ways all at once, I felt a cool cloth on my forehead as I notice Draco had gotten one for me, I gave him a small smile before squinting in pain again. I felt myself shake as I breathed heavily…

"I think she's waking up." I heard Ginny's voice as I slowly opened my eyes with a frown.

"God dam it…" I grunted while putting my right hand over half of my face.

"Dumbledore said that this was normal and to let you go through it." I heard Draco inform me as I turned my head slightly too see him still by my side.

"You're so dramatic lately Mione." Ginny joked lightly as I poked my tongue out at her tiredly.

"Glad to see you're alright." I heard the familiar voice of Harry as I turned towards my door seeing him walk in as I did so.

"Harry…" I said as happily as I could while feeling this horrid, I smiled at him weakly.

"Sorry I wasn't here sooner I was just doing… things." Harry spoke with an uneasy edge to his voice as I stared at him.

"Could have told me she was up, you know." Ron called out as he burst into the room holding a bunch of flowers in his hands.

I smiled at him as he casually walked over to me and handed me the bunch of flowers, I looked at him as I took them and he was smiling back at me; I looked at the flowers as I saw pink roses with orange and purple gerberas and lilies all mixed together.

"Thank you Ron they are beautiful." I smiled while taking in the smell of all the flowers together.

"They are from Harry as well; Ginny helped us pick them out." Ron said as he smiled almost proudly at himself.

"They are lovely." I said as I glanced at Ginny who was grinning at the fact she had made the whole bunch herself.

"Well we thought we'd get you some to make you feel better." Ron grinned his goofy grin which made me smile back at him.

"Thank you…" I replied as I looked down at the flowers.

"Pathetic Weasel." Draco mumbled next to me as he sat with his arms folded angrily.

"Are you feeling okay?" He asked as he walked over to me and put his hand onto mine.

"I'm okay now." I nodded as I looked over at Draco who was rolling his eyes.

"Why is Malfoy still here?" Harry asked with sharpness to his voice as they both stared each other down.

"Why am I still here, Granger?" Draco repeated the question as I looked at him with a slight frown.

"Harry, Ron I need to let you know that I'm with Draco." I said slowly, turning towards my two best friends as they both stared back at me.

"With Draco?" Ron repeated as he raised an eye brow at me still confused.

"She's my girlfriend." Draco said bluntly but yet there was a proud sound to his voice.

"… You're an idiot…" Harry growled at me before turning around and walking off.

"But he's a jerk." Ron stated simply getting a grunt from Draco in reply.

"He's not to me Ron… Please don't walk out on me too." I pleaded as I took a hold of his hand and looked into his bright blue eyes.

"How can you trust him?" Ron asked as he turned to look at Draco who still had his arms folded.

"I just can." I replied holding onto his overly large hands tightly.

"… If you say so Mione, I still don't like him…" Ron sighed as I smiled happily and pulled him into a hug.

"Feelings returned." Draco muttered as I shot him a glare.

"Aren't you shocked Ginny?" Ron turned to look at his sister as she looked around the room.

"Oh... Oh yes! How could you Hermione?!" Her acting was terrible as Ron just stared blankly at her as I shook my head.

"I already knew." She then sighed out.

"How long do you think he'll stay mad?" I asked quietly looking towards Ron and Ginny.

No one answered as I fell back onto my bed with a sigh, Ron stayed for a little longer before needing to head off and Ginny not much longer after Ron; I sat in my bed thinking about nothing as I felt myself just staring.

"He can't stay mad forever Granger, so stop worrying." I heard Draco call out to me, which brought me back to reality.

"So we are officially together." I said looking at Draco walk into the room.

"Yes." Draco replied sitting on the bed and brining me in for a hug, which was what I really needed.

"Draco… What did you mean when you said it never bothered you personally?" I asked as I rested my head against his slightly hard chest.

"Mm I was wondering how long it would be until you asked me about that." As he sighed I felt his chest go up then back down as he moved his left hand lightly up and down my back.

"You don't have to tell me right now you know." I said putting my arms around his body, blushing slightly as I did.

"Its fine, my father hates mud… muggle born witches and wizard and that's just what he demanded I did as well." Draco answered as he brushed my hair out of my face and behind my ear.

"How are you coping… you know, with your father being a death eater?" I asked slowly, unsure of what his reaction would be with this question.

"It's hard on my mother and my father wants me to take his spot as a death eater." Draco answered as I hugged him just that little bit tighter.

"You can't do that." I said so quietly that I almost didn't say it at all.

"Don't want too truthfully Granger, but my mother is guilt tripping me into thinking about it." Draco was completely honest with me as I was slightly surprised at how much he was opening up to me.

"Come back with me over the break." I seemed to have said that before really thinking it through.

"Really?" Draco asked as he looked down at me sounding very into the idea of being away from his family.

"Yeah, come spend the break with me." I smiled up at him as he swiftly kissed me before pulling himself out of my grip.

"Rest Granger." He smiled at me before leaving my room, turning off the light as he did.

I sighed heavily as he left the room, feeling rather annoyed that I had to stay in bed and always 'rest' just because that useless 'monster' was stalking me but the fact that they were believe to only hunt and kill purebloods kept playing on my mind as I laid down on my bed looking up at the ceiling.


I stood alone as the freezing cold breeze hit my skin like an ice block, causing goose bumps to pop up all over my skin as my lips began to chatter together. I tried to think of something warm as I wondered around in the darkness asking myself to wake up, I heard a noise as I turned sharply to look behind me but nothing was there. I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes.

"Just a dream…" I said out loud hugging myself for even a little extra warmth.

I heard a low hissing sound as I looked sharply at where I had heard the noise as another hissing sound came to the other side of me as my breathing became ridged an uneven.

A cloaked thing suddenly jumped out hissing at me as I let out a shrivelled scream as the one from the other side grabbed me from behind holding me tightly.

"You have been marked…" It hissed out in my ear causing me to freeze as its voice was the deadliest sounding thing I had ever heard as its breath smelt of off fish.

Then out of nowhere the second one grabbed my arm and bit down hard onto it.


"Ah!" I screamed awake as I held onto my wrist tightly.

"What, what?" Draco jumped awake as I realised he was sleeping on the chair next to me.

I pulled away my hand as I stared at my wrist in disbelief; it was swollen and bruised as a set of teeth marks stood out clearly.
