Slytherin Pride

Hiding

Draco's POV
I swallowed before trudged through the door and quickly rushing to my closet, trying to find a shirt to cover my arms that were already bruised. I could feel Ginny's eyes on me as I searched for a shirt. I cursed after a minute of looking and not dining it it. "Where could it possibly fucking be?!" I demanded, still really angry about the earlier encounter. I let my eyes stray left then right and I finally planted my gaze upon my favorite grey hoodie. The problem was, it was all the way on the other side of my bedroom, right beside Ginny in fact. I swallowed and turned, trying to seem casual, and dashed to pick up my sweatshirt. Ginny snatched it before I could grab it, and I quickly turned the opposite way, so that my back was to her. "Why are you hide your face?" She asked, her voice filled with annoyance. I wanted to blurt out the fact that I was also hiding my arms, neck, and hunched form. Instead, I settled for a shrug. I wasn't yet trusting my voice not to crack from being punched in the chin and the throat for that matter. I could tell she was rolling her eyes. I was getting ready to bolt for the bathroom door, when she suddenly spun me around to curse and cover her mouth with both of her hands. I rubbed my forehead gently and tried to shrug off the fact that it hurt to even touch my face. I grimaced when My hand nicked my eye as it came down to my side. I finally gathered enough courage to look up at Ginny. She was a mixture of fuming, tear breaking, relief, and horror. I couldn't help cracking a half smile. She moved her hand up and gently caressed my swollen cheek. I grimaced again, and she once again went to clutch her mouth. I could see tears brimming her eyes as she slowly shook her head. "Draco, I swear to god! If you keep getting in fights..." She looked closer and closer to tears with every second that she looked at me. "Who did this?! Why did it result in him beating you up?!" I chuckled, and winced. "He has far greater damage than I do." She raised her eyebrows and looked a bit my my mother does when she disappointed in me, but I saw a touch of pride in her eyes and she gazed at me. "Who was it?" She asked as she gently felt down my neck to my shoulder, feeling for any other major bones. I kissed her forehead and she finally broke down into soft tears. "Draco, You almost killed him then, because you have a broken nose, a bruised collar bone, and a swollen eye that probably isn't very easy to see out of."I rolled my eye. "I didn't notice thanks for telling me." She scowled at me. "Draco Malfoy! If you're not careful, you won't be receiving any kisses from me for a good while!" I laughed, swallowing the pain and kissed her cheek this time. "Well I get to tell you what to do all day, and I say to ignore your last remark and kiss me for real." She shook her head. "Not without me fixing you. I can't just sit around and watch you slowly bleed out, now please tell me who you drug with you into the "bathroom?" I shook my head, which strained my neck. "You'll see eventually, and he'll probably tell you himself. So, just to let you know ahead of time; he swung first, but I provoked him. He obviously Lost because I caught him in a choke hold and hammered his ribs, and tree him against the bathroom wall. Last but not least Though...he said some things that I hadn't heard in a long time, he told me about you and some...secrets that you've never shared. Either they aren't true or you didn't want to, but he deserved it. He threatened me, and more importantly you. I can't just let him sit there with a pitiful smirk plastered on his face, so sorry if his state offends you." Ginny was staring not at me with confusion, determination, and a hint of admiration. She smiled and looked down. "I'm glad I'm on your side, I just realized how physical you can be." I clashed faintly, but in this case I don't have to worry about her noticing since my whole face was covered in my blood. She walked over to the bathroom and soaked one of my tee shirts in water. "Hey! You didn't even ask!" She snickered. "It's ugly anyways you needed to get rid of it." I stuck my tongue out and realized that, it too was bleeding. She let the towel drip water until it was fully water free, and was left with a darkened damp surface. "Close you eyes." I gave her a thumbs up. " well, ones already closed, so that'll save you some time." She gave me a hard glare, but I could tell she was trying not to laugh at me. She then began to gently wipe the caked blood of my face and neck. She dipped it in my bedside glass of water to refresh the cloth after a bit of washing. "Thank you gin." She smiled slightly. "Next time just tell your going to go kick someone's ass, then I'll be more understanding." I smirked and gestured for her to move closer. "Will you kiss me now that I'm clean?" She leaned forward and kissed me firmly on the lips, and yet still aware that my nose was burning mike living hell, and that I could really move my neck without it hurting. She pulled away and went back to dabbing at the open wounds a round my eyebrow and my nose bridge. "But I'm glad you won." She giggled slightly then got up from her sitting position, shoving me onto the bed. "Now get some rest and rest the bruises. I'll be back in an hour or so with a potion you Can drink to help with that. I gave a tired thumbs up before falling sound asleep.
