Blood Rose

Chapter 10

The door creaked open waking me with a start. I slipped a hand under my pillow; grabbing my wand. The faint light shone off the white hair identical to mine.

"Draco?" I whispered. Draco sat on my bed worry etched on his face.

"I'm sorry you got hurt." He whispered, clutching my empty hand. He took in my tear streaked face.

"Does it hurt that much?" He asked. I shook my head.

"I'm fine. In fact, she's releasing me tomorrow." I said. Draco studied my face.

"You like him don't you? That Weasley boy?" Asked Draco.

"N-no." I stuttered.

"Why'd you say that to him?" Said Draco, ignoring my lie.

"I was trying to make sure Lucious didn't punish you." I mumbled meekly. His Eyes blazed angrily. Draco turned and left. I smacked myself. Brilliant, Avery , you've distanced your brother and the guy you like. Brilliant, just brilliant, you bloody nitwit! I went back to sleep. Someone shoved my shoulder. I looked up to find Harry standing there holding a plate of breakfast foods. I eagerly grabbed the plate, brightening up at the scent of bacon. Summer and Cara walked in.

"Harry out!" Summer demanded.

"What? Why?" Exclaimed Harry while being pushed out by the girls.

"Girl talk you wouldn't understand." Cara said. I froze, my fork hovering above the plate.

"I swear whatever happened, I didn't do it!" I said dropping the fork.

"You like George why did you lie?" Cara demanded putting a hand on her hip.

"What do you mean?" I said raising a eyebrow.

"You like him, you know it! So why did you say that?" Summer demanded.

"Lucious would hurt Draco." I grumbled.

"Please Draco deserves it." Scoffed Summer. I took my wand and pointed it at her.

"Get out!" I said.

"But-" Cara began to say.

"OUT!" I screamed, the doors flew open and they flew out of the room pushed by my magic. Nurse Pomfrey rushed in.

"Is everything alright?" She asked. I nodded my head. I picked up my potions and began to study. Harry walked in.

"Hey Harry," I said.

"I wanted to tell you what happened at the Quidditch class." Harry said sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I can't believe I missed it." I groaned.

"Draco took Neville' s Remembrall and I chased him. Now I'm seeker on the Quidditch team." Harry explained.

"Wait, why didn't Madam Hooch do anything?" I asked.

"Neville broke his wrist, he's right there." Harry said gesturing at the sleeping Neville opposite of me. I looked at him in surprise. Nurse Pomfrey hustled in.

" Avery you can go now." She said. Luckily I was not wearing a hospital gown but my robes. I jumped up and walked and walked into the common room with Harry.

"I can't wait for the game!" Harry cheered.

"Me too." I said. Harry nodded cheerfully as the fat lady came into view.

"Password?" She asked. Harry told her and we entered the room. Ron came up to us.

"Have you told her?" Asked Ron.
