Chapter Five: Attack of the Pixies!


------------------Tuesday, The Last Day in June (The Next Day)

Draco awoke from his slumber. Where was he? He looked around the room. He was sure that he was at Malfoy Manor..but where exactly was he? The blonde looked in front of him, and everything came rushing back.

Damn. Everything that he thought was a nightmare had really happened. He sighed and took Hermione's hand in his.

"Hermione...it's morning. It's time for you to wake up." Nothing. Not even a slightest hint of movement. He sighed again.

Okay, maybe his conscience or whatever it was is right. Maybe he does like Hermione. He shook his head. No, he can't like Hermione, it'll go against everything he believes in.

But what exactly does he believe? Does he honestly believe that mudbloods are really different from purebloods just because their blood are "unpure"?

He groaned. Everything was so confusing.

------------------Friday, The First Day in July (A few days later)

He woke up, looked at Hermione, and checked the clock. Damn. It's only 6 AM. He was about to go back to sleep when he checked the date. It was a Friday. Shit! How am I suppose to hide Hermione?

It wasn't until an hour later that he had finally thought of an idea.

"Ginky!" Ginky appeared.

"Yes, Master Draco?"

"Get me my invisibility cloak!" The house-elf nodded its head.

"Yes Master Draco." And with a crack, the house-elf disappeared.

He then turned to Hermione and checked to see if she was awake. She wasn't. All this trouble caused by a pair of stupid handcuffs... Whoever put these handcuffs on them is gonna pay!

Ginky appeared with the invisibility cloak, and handed it to Draco. "Would Master Draco like some breakfast?"

"Yes, Ginky." And with another crack, Ginky disappeared. Draco then turned to Hermione and placed the invisibility cloak on her. He then cast a invisibility charm that would last for only 24 hours on the handcuffs.

Crack! Ginky appeared again, and gave Draco his breakfast. The house-elf then disappeared again.

The day went by pretty fast. It was night, and Draco was getting annoyed by the second. When was his mum gonna get here? He was bored. Usually he spent the day reading or talking to Hermione's sleeping form. But today, he didn't feel like reading, and it was hard talking to someone that's invisible. So he did absolutely nothing the whole entire day. The blonde stared at the ceiling. A few minutes later, he saw something. Am I imagining things? He rubbed his eyes. The thing he saw flew across the ceiling again. That better be the only one. Draco decided to get his wand out...only to find that he didn't have his wand! Shit!

He looked up at the ceiling again...only to see a whole bunch of pixies! And they had his wand! Bloody pixies! They were laughing at him...mocking him! Grrr! Draco growled. He couldn't do anything though. Without his wand, he was pretty much defenseless. And the pixies were all over the room, flying around, picking stuff up and dropping them. He could always attack them with other things besides his wand, but they were tiny and they flew too fast. (Not to mention that he's still chained to Hermione.) And the other things won't be as effective as his wand. But...

"Give me back my wand you bloody pixies!"

A group of pixies that had his wand looked at him, and one of the pixies decided to mock him by imitating him. The other pixies laughed. Draco stared at them with fury. He pounced! The pixies were too busy laughing that they didn't see Draco pounce on them. It gave Draco the opportunity to knock over the pixies and take his wand back, but it also gave the other pixies a chance to pick Draco up. When they lifted Draco into the air, some other pixies took his wand from him. Oh Merlin! The pixies placed Draco on a nearby chandelier. (Like what happened to Neville in Second Year.) No words can describe how angry Draco was at the moment. He looked as if he was ready to kill. At that moment...

Pop! His mother apparated in. She looked around and saw what was happening. Narcissa then casted a spell that sent the pixies back to where they came from.

"Draco honey. What happened here?" She asked as she handed Draco his wand. (Draco was on the ground...no longer up on the chandelier.)

"Bloody pixies," he mumbled.

She sighed. "I take it you didn't like the surprise?"

"What surprise?"

"The pixies!"

Draco stared at her. "...those bloody pixies was your surprise?"

"Yes..."

Draco was still staring at his mum..with a blank expression on his face. He then decided to forget his mum's 'surprise.' His mum started leaving.

"I'm going to Bermuda, Draco. I'll be back in two weeks."

"Are you going to check up on me?"

"No." She walked over to Draco and kissed his cheek. "Behave yourself, dragon. I love you."

"I love you too mum." Narcissa then turned and left.

Draco turned to where Hermione laid, and took the cloak off. There was no change. The girl was still in a damn coma. Little did he know how wrong he was...

Hermione awoke to the sound of Malfoy's voice. He was yelling, "Give me back my wand you bloody pixies!" Pixies? She felt the cloth that she was under. An invisibility cloak? She moved and saw Malfoy and the pixies. She fought hard not to start giggling or laughing when Malfoy was hanging from the chandelier. Ahh...this sure brings back memories. The brunette smiled.

Then she heard a Pop! She almost jumped at the sound. She saw a blonde woman that resembled a lot like Malfoy. Narcissa. She then listened in on the mother's and son's conversation. Hmmm...Narcissa calls Malfoy "Dragon"? Interesting... Draco's mum then left. Hermione saw Malfoy walking toward her. She then went back and pretended she was unconscious...wait..why was she unconscious? She heard him talk.

"Wow. I'm so glad you weren't awake for that." He said as he stroked her hand. Wait a minute...he's touching my hand!

He sighed and muttered. "Bloody pixies.."

Hermione had the urge to smile, but didn't.

"It's late. Good night Hermione." The brunette felt the blonde kiss her forehead and hand and heard him turn off the lights. Okay..that was weird. She waited until she was sure Draco was asleep. She opened her eyes and looked over at him (He was sitting on a chair, next to her bed.) and he was holding her hand. Very very weird. She closed her eyes and slept.

------------------Saturday, The 2nd Day in July

Hermione Granger was finally awake! Even though she's acting very peculiar, but who cares, she's finally awake! And she drank that horrid potion without arguing with him! Yes! Now...how to woo Hermione Granger. Draco's thoughts were then interrupted when Hermione asked, "How long have I been in um...a coma?"

The Slytherin was silent for a moment. He reluctantly replied, "About 5 days."

Oh Merlin! She's going to kill me!

Surprisingly, Hermione didn't attack Draco. Instead she just nodded. Okay, that's a good thing..right? She then asked, "How did I end up in a coma?"

Unknowingly to Draco, he paled. Hermione looked at him curiously.

To tell her or not to tell her...that is the question. If I tell her, she's definitely going to kill me, and then she's going to hate me forever. If I don't tell her, she might find out anyway and then she's going to kill me! But she might not find out...but maybe she will... Oh Merlin! Help me!

Draco didn't know what to do. He didn't know what to tell her. The truth or a lie. Finally he decided on what to tell her. He took a deep breath before he said...
