Double Trouble || Draco Malfoy x Reader

The Horcrux's Effect || chapter one-hundred and twenty-seven

A canopy of trees spun into my world. I blinked a few times, trying to sharpen my vision as I lay still with my back against a bed of leaves and twigs. 

"Y/N!"

The voice sounded distant.

"Fuck!"

I blinked to the side and saw Draco drop down onto his knees. He pulled his wand out of his pocket and quickly casted a blanket of mist across my lower pelvis. After a moment, a few little glowing orbs came into sight and he dropped his wand in relief.

"What's wrong..?" I whispered, reaching out for Draco's hand. He smiled softly and laced his fingers between mine.

"Nothing, darling." Draco reassured me. "You're both okay."

"Harry, quickly! In my bag, there's a small bottle labeled 'Essence of Dittany.' "

Hermione's distressed voice caused me to look up. That's when I saw her bent over Ron's spasming body. "Oh no..." I breathe, bolting upright.

"Quickly!"

Harry stumbled dizzily to the beaded bag a few feet away from myself. "Accio Dittany!" He panted. A small brown bottle landed in the palm of his hand.

I scrambled to my feet and headed towards the two on the floor. "Shh, shhh." Hermione stroked a hand over Ron's head. "Unstopper it, Harry!"  She hissed, ripping open Ron's shirt which was soaked in blood. The flesh of his upper arm was flayed, as if someone had scooped a portion away. My face paled at the sight.

"Hermione. His arm—," Harry breathed.

"Just do it!"

Harry quickly unstoppered the bottle before he handed it to Hermione. "Shh, shh, it's alright." She whispered before sprinkling a few drops onto Ron's bleeding wound. Smoke billowed from his flesh and Ron howled in pain.

"What happened? I thought we were going back to Grimmauld Place?" Harry asked, looking around frantically.

"We were, we were!" Hermione said, panicking. "Shh, you're okay..."

Ron whimpered.

"We were there— but Yaxley— he had hold of me. I knew we couldn't stay once he'd seen, so when he let go I brought us here but Ron got Splinched."

Hermione sadly turned her eyes up to the rest of us.

"I'm sorry..."

"Don't be stupid." Harry shook his head, lightly patting her shoulder. I drop to my knees beside Hermione and throw an arm around her shoulder. A sniffle later, she decided to lean her head against my shoulder.

"It's all I feel safe doing..." she sniffled. The smoke from Ron's wound sifted into the air. It no longer bled.

"You're wonderful, Hermione. Truly." I whisper, gently stroking my fingers through her hair. "Don't blame yourself."

Hermione wiped an eye and nodded. "Thank you..." she breathed before suddenly, she took out her wand and rose from the ground. I looked up and watched with furrowed brows as she began to walk in a wide circle, muttering.
