Draco had been rushed to the hospital wing,his new wings covered in Harry's invisibility cloak for some immediate tests and some much
needed rest. Severus Snape had been losing sleep and using all his free time to find an antidote for the mystery potion and when Harry
Potter knocked on his study door he was not amused in the slightest.
'Must you knock so loud Mister Potter?' He sneered in disgust,glaring at the young Hogwarts champion.
'You have to come to the Infirmary 's Draco something's wrong.' Harry said urgently.
'Well,if I must.'The professor sighed, turning on his heel and walking to the Hospital wing at a brisk pace.
Harry was left to hurry after him,when they reached the Hospital wing Madam Pomfrey was pacing back and forward with her head bowed in
thought,she looked up as Snape entered followed by Harry who was gasping for breath after having to run to keep up with the potions
master.
'Severus, thank goodness,I..I have never seen anything like it in all my years!'She said as she spotted them entering,'It's amazing!'
'What happened?'Snape asked in a confused tone,not sure why he had been summoned.
'Young Mister Malfoy seems to have sprouted wings.'She deadpanned.
'Y..You can't be serious!' Exclaimed Snape losing all trace of tiredness.
Madam Pomfrey just gestured to a large curtained area,Severus strode over and yanked the curtain back stepping backwards when he saw
what was behind face down on a hospital bed was Draco Malfoy his giant grey wings stretched out over another bed at either side of
him,blinking as if it would change the sight before him.
'What..I mean wh...what?' He looked at the mediwitch for an answer,she shrugged.
'We think it's the potion,the other's have experienced changes also though not so physical.'
'What do you mean?'he asked, it was Harry who stepped forward and spoke,
'We have all had weird things happen...'he then went on to tell the potions master about everyone's abilities.
Sitting down on a conjured chair Severus asked 'Are there any ill affects?'
'Not that we have seen,only Mr Malfoy has had any pain.'said Madam Pomfrey 'Mister Potter was able to heal him with his power.
Shaking his head Snape sighed 'We can see it doesn't really
need to be treated it seems safe enough to leave.'
'So I'm stuck like this forever?!' Draco said incredulously sitting up awkwardly,careful not to jostle his wings.
Harry looked at him shocked,'I didn't see you wake up.'
'What are you doing here Potter?' Draco spat venomously,Harry looked down and turned to leave.
'Stop I...I'm sorry ,you don't have to go.'said Draco in a small voice.
'I have to go,I have to get to the common room it's way past curfew anyway.'said Harry smiling.
'Oh ok ,um.. bye.' said Draco awkwardly his wings curling in closer to his body.
Looking down slightly Harry headed to the door waving as he left .Professor Snape was watching the exchange quietly with calculating eyes
while Madam Pomfrey smiled knowingly. The three people left in the room discussed ways of hiding Draco's wings and decided on using
glamour charms cast daily by Professor Snape. Draco was leaving the hospital wing sporting numerous glamours and his wings tightly
but comfortably held in place close to his back by temporary binding charms and was heading down to the Slytherin common room to
sleep,he cast some privacy charms waving off all questions about his whereabouts all evening ,and he fell soundly asleep.
The next morning saw Draco awoken by his wings as they popped free of their binding charms,sitting up he stretched out his arms and
yawned then as he brought his arms down his wings stretched out to their fullest knocking down the lamp that sat at the side of Draco's
bed,the curtains he had drawn before going to sleep were opened slightly as his wings pushed through them.
Pulling his wings towards himself he decided to go for a shower before the other occupants of his dorm woke up,he had grown accustomed
to having wings quicker than he had expected but they seemed like they were meant to be there ,like his arms,they felt into
the shower Draco noticed blood mixing with the water from his feathers he hadn't noticed that they were so covered in it,bringing his right
wing forward with ease he ran his fingers through it dislodging large clumps of blood that had stuck his feathers together
doing the same to his other wing her stood under the calming water until it ran clear.
feeling clean Draco stepped out of the shower wrapping himself in a large,fluffy slytherin green towel
nearly jumping out of his skin when he saw his tall head of house standing in the doorway with his back to him.
'You really should be more careful Mr Malfoy,anyone could have walked in and found your-'the potions master paused,'little problem.'
Draco glared at his professor,'You know fine well that I cast wards on that door.'
'Yes , not very well,I dare say Mr Crabbe could have walked straight past them without a second thought' Snape sneered
Rolling his eyes Draco moved toward Snape 'Can't you just cast the charms and leave?'he asked,Snape glared at him.
'Very well,if I must,you know someone will find out eventually.'Snape sighed casting the charms.
'Yes,but hopefully not for a long time.'Draco said looking at the floor,he sighed,'I had better find Potter,before he tells that idiot weasel and
that stupid mud...'He was cut off with a glare from Snape who then proceeded to walk out the door,his robes billowing out behind him.
Sighing again Draco began dressing having to transfigure his school robes to fit around his wing joints,strolling calmly out of the Slytherin
dorm he headed to breakfast.
Harry however walked into the common room after leaving the hospital wing and was bombarded with questions about his whereabouts all
evening and unlike Draco he had blood staining his robes,that didn't really help when he tried to brush off the questions,seeing that
he,Hermione and Ron were the only ones left in the common room he slumped in an armchair by the fire and began to tell his most trusted
friends of his eventful he had finished telling them Hermione was nearly on the edge of her seat waiting to ask questions,the first
however was not the one Harry expected.
'Sooo how was it ,holding Malfoy in your arms?'She said this with smile on her face that said she knew more about what was happening than
anyone however had fallen asleep in his chair bored halfway through the story.
Sighing Harry knew he wasn't getting out of this one settled to answer Hermione's question.
'Well ,you know..hh..he was kinda covered in blood and passed out so it didn't really mean anything.' he said scratching the back of his neck
uncomfortable with her questions, she had known about his crush on his so called enemy since the end of last year when it had all
slipped out after Ron fell asleep in the hospital wing,recovering from his broken leg,courtesy of snuffles as he liked to be called.
'Do you think he likes you?'She asked quietly with a sad smile knowing the crush was more than likely one sided.
'I don't know 'Mione, he seemed different.'Harry then went on to tell her more about the short conversation between him and Malfoy in the hospital wing,he had
conveniently left it out feeling slightly embarrassed about getting upset over a few smiled as he told her about Draco asking him to
slightly Hermione started working on her secret plan listening to every word Harry said.
After about half an hour of chatting Harry convinced Hermione to let him go to bed,her questions had gotten more probing as time went past.
Throwing himself onto his bed not bothering to change or draw the curtains Harry fell soundly asleep.
Ron woke up at one in the morning with a crick in his neck and a sore back cursing his friends silently for not waking him up,he climbed the
stairs to his dorm and threw himself onto the bed and just like Harry had he fell asleep before his head was on his pillow.
