He rushes over to me and picks me up in his arms. "Hang in there, Y/N... I'll take you to the Hospital Wings, okay?" He said. I just nod my head. Then he starts to walk, making his way to the direction of the Hospital Wings.

Why did I do that?

-He's Not That Bad-

Y/N P.O.V

I'm sitting on the hospital bed, Madam Pomfrey is bandaging my arm and put it in a sling. Hagrid is here with us as well. Madam Pomfrey starts scolding Hagrid. After that the two of them walks out, leaving Edmund and I.

Edmund turns to look at me with a stern look on his face. "What?" I said, looking at him with an innocent face. "Just what were you thinking?! Why would you just jump in front of him like that?! You're lucky it's just a scratch or you're going to lose an arm, Y/N!" He said, his tone raising a little. I flinch at his tone.

"Uhh... well, to be honest. I have no idea... my body just reacted on its own..." I said. He just scoffs at my answer. "You're stupid... you know that?" He said. I just sigh and nod my head.

"Yeah... uh huh... there's no argue in that one. I am an idiot. I just jump in front of an arrogant boy. He won't even feel grateful for that either" I said. "Good you know. Don't do that again!" He said, scolding me while crossing his arms across his chest.

"So, Edmund..." I said. "What?" He said, still sound upset. "I'm sorry... but what were you doing there?" I asked. "Well... Professor Dumbledore didn't exactly said I'm not allowed to walk around the ground, did he? Besides, I'm bored having to stay indoor all the time. I just wanna see how magic school teaches the lessons..." he said, crossing his arms while pouting slightly. "I see... so you decided to follow us?" I said. "That's pretty much it..." he said, shrugging. I hum softly at his response.

"You should rest..." he said. "I just woke up though" I said. "So? Go back to sleep! It's your own fault. You won't be in this situation if you don't throw yourself in front of him!" He said. "Geez... I said I'm sorry" I said. "Whatever. At least you're okay. But I mean it. Go to sleep..." he said, sternly. "Alright! Alright!!" I said, huffing. He lets out a chuckle and helps me to lay down.

Time-skip

I open my eyes and realize I'm alone. Edmund must be with the others in the Dining Hall, as it is Dinner time now. I've noticed the time because of how dark it is outside.

I move to sit up and leans my back against the bed. I notice there's a book on the bedside. On top of it is a note. I pick it up and read the note.

Sorry I wasn't there with you when you wake up. I'm currently in the Dining Hall, eating dinner with the others. I brought you this book (it's Hermione's, she said she wants you to read it. She also said it's a muggle-book), so you don't feel bored. I'll come and visit you as soon as I'm done with dinner with the others too.

XX,
Edmund

I smile softly and starts to read the book. It's a love story. It's different from what I used to read back in Narnia. Sure... Narnia also have a love story book... but it's different here.

In the middle of reading, I hear the door opening. I look up to see the least person I expect. He closes the door behind him and walks towards me. He pulls a chair and take a seat.

"Hey..." he said. "Hey... what are you doing here?" I asked. "I just wanna come and see how you're doing. As well as to thank you and apologize... if it weren't for me. You're not going to get hurt like that. But I'm also thankful that you saved me..." he said. "For one, Malfoy... I'm trying to protect Buckbeak. From what the others have told me. You tend to tell everything to your father and who know what they'll do to the poor thing. Second, I don't even know why I reacted that way..." I said, rolling my eyes. He just sighs at my response.

"Look... I'm sorry that our first impression isn't the greatest. I know that I'm being a jerk to you... to your friends" he said. "You shouldn't apologizing to me... it's them. You've been horrible with them" I said. He sighs and nod his head.

"You're right on that one... but still... will you at least accept my apology? I did acted bad around you too" he said. I shrug my shoulders. "I'm never the type to hold any sort of grudges. So sure, I forgive you..." I said. "Thank you, Y/N..." he said, grinning at me.

We starts to talk about random things. He starts to tell me his experience for the past 2 years of school here. Apparently, this is their 3rd year. There's a lot of things happened to them as well.

"You know..." I started. "What?" He said. "You're not so bad... if you're not being a jerk" I said. He let out a soft chuckle at my comment. "You really think so?" He said. I nod my head, smiling softly at him. He let out a sigh.

"I don't have a choice. This is how I was raised. I was raise with a strong believe that only a family of Pure-blood are worth in learning magic..." he said. I frown at what he's saying. "You have such a tough family..." I said. "Yeah" he said, letting out an airy laugh. I just give him a sympathetic smile.

The door opens again and a bunch of footsteps can be heard. I turn my head to see Edmund, with the trio following close behind him. He smiles softly at me.

But the smile vanished when he notices Draco here. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "I'm just here to check on her. Problem?" Draco said, standing up to stand face to face with Edmund.

"Of course. She's here right now because of you!" He said, glaring at Draco. "Edmund..." I tried to say. "I have apologized to her and she forgave me. What's your problem, huh?" Draco said, angrily. "Just stay away from Y/N. You may be the so called Slytherin Prince. But I am a King!" Edmund said. "Not here you're not. This isn't your island. This is not Narnia" he said. Now they're standing nose to nose.

I stand up and stands in between them. I place my non-injured hand on Edmund's chest, while giving Draco a stern expression. He got the picture and take a step backward.

"I think it's best if you leave now, Malfoy..." I said, in a soft voice. He just nods his head. "Alright. And I'm sorry again for causing you an injury..." he said. He turns around and walks away without saying another word.

"Well that's a first..." Hermione said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "He always insults us... before he leave" Ron said. "But for some reasons... he didn't say anything..." Harry said. I look at the three of them back and forth.

"Did he bother you, Y/N?" Edmund said, taking a seat on the edge of the bed. "No... he's actually being nice" I said. "Malfoy? Being nice? Never heard of it" Hermione said. Harry and Ron just stare at me with a shock expression.

"He's not that bad... MAYBE, that's just how he was raised back home. Who knows..." I said, shrugging my shoulders. "Well... whatever it is. You still need to be careful when it comes to Malfoy. Okay?" Ron said. I just nod my head, not saying anything else.
