Ella Potter (Draco Malfoy)

Chapter 9

Ella opened her eyes to the lights of the hospital wing.

"She's awake!"

Ella blinked, turning her head slightly to see Draco shouting over his shoulder.

"Who cares about Potter!"

"Draco," Ella grabbed his sleave "how's my brother?"

"Worry about yourself for once," Draco said, turning back to her "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine," Ella replied trying to sit up

Draco put his arm around her, helping her sit up. Snape then came to her other side, also helping her sit up. Ella looked over to see Dumbledore talking to Harry.

"Where's the stone?" Ella asked feeling her pocket

"Leave us for a minute Mr Malfoy." Snape said

Draco nodded before standing up and walking away. Ella looked at her father, waiting for an answer.

"It's gone," Snape said "you did well, Ella."

"Voldemort's going to try other ways of coming back, isn't he?" Ella asked her father

"It's been a long day," Snape said before patting her head.

Ella nodded, knowing better then to ask her father more. Snape waved to Draco, who immediately walked back over. Snape nodded to his daughter before exiting the hospital wing.

"What were you even doing down there?" Draco asked, taking his seat once again "You could've died!"

"Hey," Ella said "I'm a Potter, trouble seems to be my middle name."

"You have to be more careful," Draco said "If you weren't here next year who would follow me around like a lost puppy dog?"

"Crabbe and Goyle" Ella replied

"Don't be a smartass," Draco said, flicking her forehead

"Ok ok," Ella smiled "I'm sorry."

Madam Pomfrey then rushed over "Mr, Malfoy, she needs to rest!"

"But-"

"No buts!" Madam Pomfrey said before rushing away

"See you soon?" Ella questioned with a smile

"See you soon," Draco said

Draco smiled to her before rushing out of the hospital wing, not without giving Harry an evil glare though. Ella flopped back into bed as Hermione and Ron rushed in. Harry began telling them what happened as Ella drifted back off to sleep.

The next day, the siblings spent a lot of time talking about what happened. Mostly Harry just scolding her for coming down to save his ass. The two however laughed about it, after all that's all they could do now.

"I want to go to the feast," Harry told Madam Pomfrey as she straightened his many candy boxes. "We can, can't we?"

"Yeah, it's the end of the year." Ella agreed

"Professor Dumbledore says you two are to be allowed to go," she said stiffly, as though in her opinion Professor Dumbledore didn't realize how risky feasts could be.

The Great Hall was already full. It was decked out in the Slytherin colors of green and silver to celebrate Slytherin's winning the house cup for the seventh year in a row. A huge banner showing the Slytherin serpent covered the wall behind the High Table.

Harry smiled to Ella before moving to their respected tables. Ella took her seat next to Draco who was glad to have her back.

"Another year gone!" Dumbledore said cheerfully. "And I must trouble you with an old man's wheezing waffle before we sink our teeth into our delicious feast. What a year it has been! Hopefully your heads are all a little fuller than they were. . . you have the whole summer ahead to get them nice and empty before next year starts. . .
