A Potter and a Malfoy ✔️

25| He Has Returned

"How?" Draco asked.

"I think the earthquake was him being released." I told him.

"Let's wake up Avery and come up with a plan." Harry walked over to his girlfriend and tried waking her. "She's not waking up." He said worriedly.

"Is she..." I didn't want to finish my sentence.

"She can't be." Harry shook his head. "Wake up Av! Please wake up." He whispered to her.

"Let me look at her." Draco moved forward and inspected her as I trembled slightly.

"It's alright." Ron side hugged me to try and help.

"She's alive." Draco confirmed. "But she's been hit with a dangerous spell. She's lucky to be alive but she should wake up within the next few days."

"How do you know all this Malfoy?" Harry asked holding Avery in his arms.

"I want to be a doctor for wizards." He told Harry. I didn't know that. "I want to help people who have been hurt by magic and can't go to a regular doctor."

"That's really cool." Ron said.

I had calmed down hearing that my best friend would survive.

"Let's get her to the hospital wing." I said and they all agreed.

We certainly got a lot of attention walking through the halls caring a limp body but I didn't care. I only cared that she would wake.

We reached the hospital wing and Avery immediately got help. There were already some people in here bleeding from the violent shaking but someone who looked nearly dead was more important.

Harry, Draco, Ron and I walked out and went to check up on Hermione and Amber.

They were both fine but I wanted to be alone so I walked off to my dorm to sit and think. Draco wanted to come with me but I really needed to be alone for a minute.

I reached my room and made sure to lock the door before sitting down. If Voldemort really was loose in this castle, I wanted to make sure I was safe.

I laid down and tried getting some sleep. I swear I heard my name right as I was about to drift asleep so I opened my eyes and looked around.

"I'm actually going insane." I thought out loud.

"No you're not." A deep male voice said.

"Who's there?" I asked nervously. I grabbed my wand and gripped it tightly just in case.

"I think you know."

Draco's POV:

Nat didn't want to see anyone right now. I was sitting in my room twirling my wand between my fingers.

I wish there was something I could do but if I push her too much, she would get more upset.

I'm worried about her and I really want to make it better but I know there isn't anything I can do right now.

There was knock on my door so I got up to answer it.

"Walker?" I was extremely surprised to see him.

"We have a problem." He said.

"I can't think of one thing that concerns me and you." I dismissed turning around.

"Not even Natalie?"

I whipped my head back and turned to him.

"What about her?" I rushed him.

"Voldemort is in the castle somewhere. My dark mark burnt and I'm guessing you know something about this too based on the look on your face."
