Royalty at Hogwarts- Draco Malfoy

Chapter 103

"What happened?" Madeline asked them, as Theo walked over, Blaise went searching for Madam Pomfrey. Theo set Daphne down, tears streaming down his face. Theo kissed her forehead, pushing a strand of hair away from her face.

"Bellatrix...she shot a spell at me, and Daphne pushed me out the way, and then she was thrown into the stairs, and she hasn't woken up since, and that was half an hour ago." Theo explained, Madeline choked out a sob, as Draco wrapped his arms around Madeline, blinking back his own tears.

"Here she is." Blaise said, bringing over Madam Pomfrey. Madam Pomfrey signed, she kneeled down, looking over Daphne's body. She put her finger against Daphne's neck, searching for a pulse.

"She's alive. Her heartbeat is very very faint but it's there. Mr. Nott come with me, we need to go grab my healing potions now, we need to go quickly!" Madam Pomfrey said, she grabbed his arm, forcing him to stand up. They started running to the entrance hall as quick as they could.

"She's going to be okay, Princess." Draco said, kissing her forehead. She nodded but she couldn't stop the tears from coming. Draco forced her to sit down next to Michael, who lectured Madeline about leaving the palace and risking her life. Blaise sat down next to Madeline, putting his head on her shoulder.

Madam Pomfrey and Theo walked in. He unscrewed the cap, tilted Daphen's head, and poured the potion down her throat. He repeated that three more times, with three different potions before Theo picked her up.

"Madam Pomfrey says she needs to stay in the hospital wing. If you-know-who is coming back, she won't...survive another attack." Theo scooped her up in his arm, and the three of them followed him upstairs. He laid her down on the first bed he saw, pulling a blanket to cover her shoulders. She looked almost lifeless, laying on the bed, with the sheet pulled up so high and her face white as a sheet.

"You-know-who is on his way." Draco said, looking out the window. He could see you-know-who, the death eaters, and Hagrid, walking back towards the castle.

"We better go back downstairs." Blaise said, 

"Madeline, you stay here-"

"What why?" She asked Draco.

"Someone needs to stay with Daphne," 

"Why are you asking the only girl?" Madeline asked, Draco stared at her almost bursting out in a fit of laughter. 

"You mean why am I asking my girlfriend to stay somewhere safe while there's a war going on?"

"Okay that makes sense, but I need to be out there fighting! That's why I came!"

"Okay shut up you two! We need to go fight, there at our doors!" Blaise shouted, pointing out the window. Draco pointed his wand at Madeline, her wand came flying out of her pocket and into his hand.

"What the hell!" She shouted,

"I can't focus if you're out there dead in a hallway or something, and I promised Michael you would stay somewhere safe. So, you're staying here so his boss doesn't fire him." Draco said, walking out of the room with Blaise and Theo on his heels. He shut and locked the door behind him. Madeline signed, shaking her head as she sat down next to Daphne's bed.

"You better not try anything funny on me Daphne Greengrass. You better wake up soon because I need my best friend alive. We've only been best friends for 6 years now and that's not enough, I need us to be 110 years old on our death beds Daphne." Madeline whispered in her ear, squeezing her hand. 

Madeline swallowed nervously as she heard screaming, she squeezed Daphne's hand again, more for herself then Daphne. 

---

"What happened?" Daphne groaned, opening her eyes weakly. Madeline pushed hair away from Daphne's face, trying to ignore the screams coming from inside the castle.

"You were injured really...badly. The war is still...going on." Madeline explained, Daphne sucked in a breath, trying to stand up. Madeline carefully pushed her down.

"You need to stay still. You almost died." She said, Daphne looked like she wanted to fight back, but her exhaustion set in, and she laid back down. They nervously held onto to each other waiting for someone to unlock there door and tell them that you-know-who is dead, and they've won the war.

And suddenly, the screams stopped...they turned into cheers. Madeline walked over to the window, but everyone looked frozen to the spot, they weren't fighting, they were staring at something.

"What's going on?"

"I'm not sure." Madeline whispered, and then the door unlocked, and Draco was standing there with Theo and Blaise, looking relieved, happy, astonished, shocked. He rushed over to Madeline, throwing his arms around Madeline.

"He's dead. Voldemort is dead." Draco breathed, before kissing Madeline on the lips, in a desperate, relieved, happy kiss. Because the war was over, and they could go home, and live.
