Haily and Hermione are in the Library after shaking off Lavender and Parvati.
"Hurry up Hermione. I'm starving!"
"I'm coming just let me check out my book."
"You're taking forever! Just pick one and lets go."
"Calm down already. Go down and sit with Ginny."
"I can't that strange Luna girl is with her all the time."
"Geez Hail don't be mean or anything, " Hermione said trying to hide her sniggers.
"I won't be mean if I don't have to sit by her and listen all about gurdy shnoots or whatever they are."
"Well you can't leave now" Hermione said looking strait past me.
"And why not?" I am hungry and frustrated so really the very last thing I want to hear is that i can't go eat.
"Look" She said pointing slightly.
What I saw was enough to make my blood run cold.
Shit!
"He's just going to follow you. There's really no use trying to get away."
I hate it when she's right.
"I can sure as hell try!"
I ducked under the shelf and crouched behind a soft chair. I could hear his smooth voice asking Hermione where I was.
"...seen her recently?...Just earlier I saw her...Great Hall maybe...O.K. Bye."
I watched him stride off until he went behind a bookshelf and Hermione go back to her books. I waited about five minutes and then I darted backwards and ran full force into an unsuspecting Draco walking behind me on his way out.
"Omph!" he said at the same time as a cracking popping noise came from his ribs.
"OHMYGAWD!" I said pulling him up.
He sort of grunted so i took that to mean "I'm fine" which really meant "Hell no! YOU BROKE MY RIB!" I was panicing so bad that I just picked him up under his arms and dragged him to the hospital wing ( the stairs were hard, let me tell you!) and it wasn't until I got him to the hospital and Madame Pomfrey came over and levitated him onto the bed that I realized that I should have done this elementary spell to get him here. Merlin am I stupid! I was feeling bad about his ribs -turns out 3 were broken- and I left Hermione to herself so I just decided to say my good-byes and leave.
"Erm sorry about your ribs" I said looking down at the floor.
"Okaaay" He said as though he was expecting something.
"Hey, um, Haily?"
"Yeah?"
"Well do you think you could uhh... pick up the work in McGonagal's class for me?"
"Umm yeah. I guess I could do that"
"Ok. Thanks then."
"Yep. Well Bye"
"Bye"
It wasn't until I got back to the Common Room that I realized that we don't have transfiguration together.
