A Soul Bond - HP fanfic

Chapter 44. Ron's love potion.

"Evelyn, Steph, you have to come with me, please." Hermione suddenly said to them as they were about to go to Snape's class. 

"Why? What happened?" Steph asked. 

"Ron, he was posioned." She said as she was on the verge of tears. 

"What?" Eve asked and before her question could be answered, the three of them followed Hermione to the hospital wing. 

"Is Ron here?" 

"Yes, yes, he's stable. I'll take you to him." Madam Pomfrey said as she let them in. 

Inside was already Ginny beside Ron, "Is he okay?" Hermione asked. 

"He'll be okay." Ginny said, although she also looked worried. "Madam Pomfrey helped him."

"How did this happened exactly?" Eve asked. 

And so, Harry, who came in after them, started to explain what had happened last night. They were all in shock. 

"Girls in this school are insane." Hermione said in pure disappointment. 

"But you all are girls-"

"Not the point Harry." Ginny said, interrupting him. 

Suddenly, other professors started to come inside as they looked at Ron who was looking pretty pale. 

"Quick thinking on your part Harry. You should be very proud of your student." Dumbledore said as he looked at the professor. 

"Oh yes, very proud." 

"Well I think we agree, Harry's actions were heroic. The question is, why were they necessary?" Mc Gonagall asked. 

"Why indeed." Dumbledore asked as well. Professor Slughorn showed a bottle that seemed to be a present of some sort. 

"This appears to be a gift, do you remember who gave you this bottle?"

"Actually, I intended to give it as a gift myself."

"To whom, might I ask?"

"To you, headmaster." That was surely a shock to everyone in the room. 

"WHERE IS HE? Where's my won won?" Lavender asked as she came rushing inside the room, making everyone very much uncomfortable. "Has he been asking for me?"

When she saw Hermione in the room, she didn't even care that there were professors around "What's she doing here?"

"I should ask you the same question." Hermione said standing up and looking very much offended. 

"I happen to be his girlfriend." 

"I happen to be his- f- friend." She said, feeling a bit left out. Eve could tell this was making everyone in the room uncomfortable, but she couldn't help but notice how all of the professors wanted to laugh at the situation in front of them. 

"Don't make me laugh, you haven't spoken in weeks. Now that he's in a hospital bed is he all interested for you?"

"His been potioned you daft bimbo. And for the record, I've always found him interesting."

Suddenly, Ron started to make some noise, "Ah see? He senses my presence."

"Don't worry Won Won, I'm here. I'm here."

Everyone was waiting for what was going to happen next, and it made Evelyn and Harry smile, although the situation was not the best, it made them feel like they could finally be okay again when they heard what Ron said next. 

"Hermione..." Ron said as he was passed out making Lavender get out of the room while she was crying, and Hermione of course felt like in cloud nine. 

"Well c'mon everybody, mister Weasley is well tended." Said professor Dumbledore as everyone started to gather outside. 

But Harry and Evelyn stayed a bit behind so they could smirk at Hermione with a 'I told you so' look. 

"Shut up..." Hermione said as she hold onto Ron's hand in hers. 

And so, they all started to leave the hospital wing, everyone going their own way. Steph was going to meet up with Luna after class, and Evelyn decided to go back to her dorm, but just as she was walking that way, she saw Draco a few stairs away, going to a very familiar path that she already knew. 

Making a detour didn't sound bad at the moment and it's been a while since she has done it and she needed more answers on to what exactly was Draco up to. 

So, making up her mind, she started going after him, following his every step carefully and once inside the Room of Requirements, she saw how he had a bird on his hand and put it inside. If the apple came with a bite, what's gonna happen to the bird?

She got her answers pretty quick, as the bird came back but this time, it was dead. She hated Draco in that moment, whatever the spell he was using was for, it wasn't good and he didn't had to kill that bird. 

She wanted nothing more than to go up to him and confront him, make him nervous to know that someone has been watching him this whole time. And before she could make up her mind to go up to him, she heard him crying and she immediately felt bad. She knew then that he didn't want to do this and he was probably being tortured or pressured into doing this. 

"D-draco-"

"Who's there?!" 

Evelyn wasn't sure if this was the best idea, that's why her voice came out shaky, but she wanted to help him. She felt bad for him. 

"It's um- it's Evelyn-"

When he turned around and saw her with tears in her eyes, he knew he has fucked up. She knew his plan. 

"You shouldn't be here." He cleared his throat as he wipped his tears away, acting tough again. 

"I know that whatever you're doing, you don't want to do it. And you don't have to."

"You-you know nothing!" He said as he took out his wand and his voice shook. 

Evelyn put up her arms in the air, not a single bit of fear was in her body. She knew Draco would never hurt her. Somehow, she knew that he was so afraid, that he wouldn't actually hurt her even if he tried. 

Although they haven't really talked over the years, she has seen him and observed him in a none-creepy way, she has always felt sorry for him. 

"I mean no harm, I really just wanna help you-"

"No one can help me! This is my fate!" He said as he kept pointing his wand at her, anger and stress evident in his eyes. 

"I know you've been raised to doing everything on your own, but it's not true. You don't have to go through this alone-"

"You've never met Him, you have no idea what it's like. I have no other choise."

"Everyone has a choice Draco. And if you just let me help, you'll be able to choose the right one-"

She should've been more careful, she should've of known that Draco was not as innocent as she thought. With Harry's strong emotions towards him it was obvious, but she has always tried to see the good in people. 

"He wants you- and you give me no choice." He said, as he shoot a spell at her, before she could react, making her go unconscious immedeatley.
