Girl With One Eye (Draco Malfoy Love Story)

part 10

~~~~Draco's P.O.V~~~~

I returned to the room to find it still in the same dissarray as before, guilt weighed heavy in my heart as i looked at what i caused. I picked up a stray piece of paper that had a paronus spell on it....'everything she hads destroyed....' it felt very empty in the room when she wasnt there. I walked over to her bed and laid on it letting everything sink in, the faint scent of apple filled my nose, her scent. I found comfort in it as i clutched her pillow to my chest, "how do i make this right?" I looked around sadly before taking out my wand and giving it a wave over a book hoping to fix it hoever it just fell apart. I groaned in frustration as i tried again and again only for it to fail, 'if she was here right now she could fix this no problem....but shes not...' i heard someone coming but continued to sit amoungst the chaos anyway, "...need a hand?" Turning i found someone i never expected....... Adrain "how did you find her room?" I murmured as he offered me his hand "i seen you bringing the three stooges here.... what was you thinking Draco? What would you have accomplished?" "... i dont know anymore... to get back at her but i never....i never imagined it'd  turn out like this" i felt very empty without her around and alone even when i was surrounded. ".... I'll help you fix this place up.... I'll teach you a spell i know for it", after he taught me and showed me the motions i got to it, after they were fixed i packed them away by hand and looked to her bed side, three frames sat there each as pretty as the next and in each held a photograph. Her mother and father was in the first, myself and her in the next and in the last was a photograph of the golden trio, those twins and Adrian, infront of our picture though sat a box with my name on it. I walked over and clutched the small box in my hands, the neat wrapping was striped with green ribbon,
'To my dearest and only friend Draco,
I made this while thinking of you and hope it brings you luck in your coming years, I hope we can spend more time together over our years here and become the best of friends
All my love
Celestia Potter'
Tears filled my eyes as i read the note making my heart break with unbearable pain, i cause her to be beaten to the point of being rushed to the infirmary. She only cared for me and i had cause her beautiful mind and heart to break, i opened the package to find a ring, it was a thick band with celtic knots and a green tear shaped gem in the middle, the stone seemed to glow lightly as i placed it on my index finger and smiled at the present. I decided i was going to see her like i had done only last year...after she was petrified. Dashing to the infirmary i was met by an angry pair of twins who yanked me into a deserted hallway 'now i know how she feels....' "we're watching you Malfoy-" "-you mess with her you mess with us" i took note of the rings they wore similar to mine only with orange stones on their middle fingers, "well let you see her but one wrong move-" "and well make your life hell" they growled threateningly before leaving me to go, granger had only left in tears a second before i entered telling me to expect the worst but nothing could have prepared me for what i was about to see, i waked down the hall that only seemed to stretch on longer till i finally made it to her bed... i couldnt contain the gasp or horror as i looked at her, her body was covered in bandages, some with blood seeping through them, her face was bruised in various places, her full plump lips were split, and her arm was in a splint not doubt her bo e was shattered and was removed. I held her pale and cold had between my own and took a seat next to her, she wore a necklace with a gem to match each gemstone she gave her friends....mine was included, it hung over her heart and seemed to pulse soft light with each beat of her heart. I brused some of her hair aside as i began to tell her my apologise, of how much of a fool i was, of what happened at dinner, i told her everything. She was there a month today, it amazed me how even when she was gone from class so long she still topped the class with granger, and for that she amazed me, i still seen her everyday and told her what happened in the day and sometikes brough her flowers....yellow roses. Today was rose day as i called them, i walked in clutching them only to see her sitting up against the headboard laughing with the trio and twins, i smiled and began to back away before handing madam pomfred the bouque, "you wont see her?" "I put her through enough..." "yet you came everyday of the month to see her?" I didnt reply but looked away "...i see now... even if you don't but mister malfoy listen to me when i say this.... whatever has happened...whatever may happen.. act before its too late... if you dont you will regret it and she will be taken by another" i gave the nurse a strange look before departing unknown to me of the sad green eyes that watched me leave. I walked to where Lupin was caring for Axel seeming to have more knowledge on the dog than anyone, "back again Malfoy? I take it Celestia woke up?" I nodded  "hmm....i was sure you would still be with her.... you care for her" "Course i do...shes my buddie" he gave me a look before chuckling softly "and plus....it was my fault she was put there....i dont doubt she hates me...i would" "did she tell you that?" "......no" "...go and see her once everyones gone.... talk to her.... build your friendship again... its all lost unless you try" i didnt understand the bufferflys of hope tha fluttered in my stomach like the day we became buddies, nor did i understand the confusing feeling of my heart speeding up at the thought of being close to her again but i knew he was right "professor?...could....could you teach me the patronus?....before tonight i mean" he grinned and nodded and so...we began the long and grueling task of performing the spell. The day gave way to evening and i had finally mastered it, i thanked him before leaving and sneaking to the hall to grab some red velvet cupcakes...her favourite. I managed to sneak by unseen and made my way to the infirmary once again, madam pomfred was waitin by the door with the flowers from earlier, i casted my gaze down till she handed them to me "i thought you'd be back... give them to her yourself, she looked sad when she seen you leave" i smiled greatfully and took them before entering, she was reading 'go figure' i smiled mentally and stood beside her "this seat taken?" She looked up with tears in the green eyes, i wiped a stray ine away before sitting "sorry i left earlier i just...didnt want to interrupt..." before i knew it she had wrapped her arms around me and hung onto me as she sobbed "i-i was so scared....so-" "shhhhhhhshshshshh its okay....im sorry i led them there i was angry, if i had known they would do that i-" i was silenced with a hand over my mouth "hush and let me sob" she chuckled making me crack a small grin "strange girl...." i held her to me enjoying the way her body curved into mine before we had to part "i erm....got you these" i tossed the roses and cupcakes to her while looking away, she smelled them and hugged them to her chest "you remembered" "course i would...your my buddie and... my best friend.... oh! Look! I learnt this!" I held up my wand and summoned my patronus "expecto patronum!" A ferret ran around the hall in a flurry of light, i had remembered the days we had spent together at my house, it shone brighter than ever before, the light illuminated her face beautifully making her eyes glitter in the radient light. "I remember you saying that paronus book was your favourite too but.... im somewhat annoyed.... looks like i really am a ferret" she chuckled before pulling her own wand out, it was beautiful and unique...like its owner, she casted her own patronus only for it to match with mine...a ferret. "Well i guess this means were just two peas in a pod" she chuckled as much as i did till we fell silent and just watched the two play above us. It drew later into the night and i found myself being pulled closer and closer to sleep, she edged over in her bed giving me some room "come on...up you climb" i was so tiered i didnt even think twice as i climbed in next to her and held her close, the smell of apples filling my senses and easing my mind and heart.

~~~~Celestia's P.O.V~~~~
He held me close to his firm chest, the moon light flooding the room and lighting his handsome features, he smelt of aftershave and for some odd reason books even though i know he didnt read much. He began to mumble in his sleep before fully speaking "without......you....im half of a whole......broken....... feel safe... now.... mine" i laughed and blushed at his childish behaviour and nesteled into his chest "my best friend....my only friend ....i forgive you" i felt my animagas spell begin and soon i fond my body coated in feathers, my hair changed to short feather that framed my face and wings occupied my back, 'arent i...suppose to match my patronus?!' I mentally screamed as i gritted my teach through the transformation befire shifting back to normal. I suddenly felt exhausted, sleep was taking me and i didnt mind. I felt safe....in the arms of my best friend... Draco Malfoy... Prince of Slytherin.
