Slytherin Pride

The moment of truth.

Draco's POV
I sat there with hermione for I don't know how long. Partly because they took the clock out for repair, but also it was hard to keep up with time when the person your with is sobbing and telling you that they actually cared about your health condition. I almost collapsed into tears myself, but I held it in, knowing they would defiantly spill out when I see Ginny's state. She finally starts to get up. I sigh, trying to emotionally prepare myself for what's coming. I sigh and try to smile as she walks toward the door. "It's best if you just let it out. Don't but anymore stress on yourself." I nodded, she was right, she was always right. Damn you granger. I smirk slightly before I was yet again overcome but the horrible possible states Ginny could be in. From a few broken bones and a thin waist, to sunken eyes, matted hair, shirts falling off and unable to move the muscles of her jaw. Both have happened to me, over different periods of time I spend with my aunt.

Mione's POV
I tried to think of how I would softly speak to her and tell her Draco woke up. I tried to picture how happy she would be. I swallowed hard before I went through the portrait home and crept up the stairs into our dorm. All 146 Griffindore girls were sound asleep when I arrived. I tiptoed over to the returning year's section of beds and shook Ginny softly awake. She sat bolt up right and grabbed by shirt collar. "Don't kill him!" She screeched before she realized she was no longer in a dream. Then she tightened her grip. "Why are you here." I rolled my eyes despite myself. "I attend school here just as you do, but with how regularly you attend classes you mine as well have dropped out!" My voice didn't crack nor did it falter. It seemed to ring with a clear meaning for the first time in almost two weeks. She stiffened. "How dare you mock me..-" I cut her off. "Draco's awake." Her eyes widened and they almost squinted into a smile. But the she lunged at me. I was thrown off the bed and pinned to the ground. "How long?! And why didn't you get me before he even fully woke up?! Do you not care that I'm not in this picture?!" I pull my arm out of her grasp and hit her so hard she slams into her small Dresser beside her bed. She couldn't fully get a breath out, and I could barely more my pinky finger. Nearly everyone is awake and staring now. "JUST SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME. YOU CAN CONTINUE TO ACT LIKE YOU DONT HAVE A LIFE AND THAT NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU! ITS FINE BY ME. BUT THERE IS A BOY IN THAT HOSPITAL WING THAT CARES ABOUT YOU MORE THAN I CAN TAKE TIME TO PROCESS. I GIVE UP ON YOU TRYING TO TALK TO ME OR FORGIVE ME. AND I HAVE DONE IN WHAT IS ALL IN MY WILL TO KEEP FROM FORCE FEEDING YOU! IM TRYING MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR IMPORTANT! BUT NO. ILL JUST LEAVE YOU HERE TO CUT YOURSELF AND PRETEND NO ONE LOVES YOU. BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THATS WHAT YOU WANT!" Her mouth stands ajar and her eyes are as wide as she can make them in her state. My voice is hoarse from all the abrupt yelling. She can't even cry anymore. She didn't have enough water in her body, but I could tell she would be if she could. She didn't try to hide it anymore either. She just got up and stumbled out the door holding her cheek as an already sickly purple bruise starts to appear. I follow her out panting slightly and everyone from 7th to 1st year watch as I gently close the dormitories door closed.
