If He Only Knew (Drinny)

Hospital Wing

Hey guys, thanks for everyone who has read this.

Pain trickles through me like water in a cave, as I slowly bring myself to be conscious. My hand instinctively reaches out to the source of the pain, which is my head. I wince at even the slightest touch, even though I can sense it has been wrapped in what feels like hundreds of layers of bandages. "Great" I think to myself.

It's dark in here, I'm guessing I'm in the hospital wing because the white curtains surrounding my bed are ones I've seen many a time, whilst I've came up to see Harry when he was a patient in here. Also the fact that the air smells of the sickness, which is a smell I think no one ever wants to breathe in and often finds sickening. I slowly open my eyes, they sting immensely but they gradually get used to being open it helps that I'm being surrounded by suffocating darkness, it must be Tue middle of the night.

I sort of have an understanding as to why I'm here, I got hit by a spell. Sent by whom I have no idea, nor do I know exactly what the spell was. Pushing myself up doesn't help either because the more I struggle the more I fail and get even more frustrated. Trying to get back to sleep doesn't help either, because sleep is impossible to have.

The curtains surrounding my open slightly, and I can hear small footprints coming closer and closer, but I can see no one. Then my mind is racing with thoughts, is it Harry in his invisibility cloak? The cloak slides off the person, and I'm somewhat disappointed yet the majority of me is thankful.

Draco Malfoy stares down at me, relieve clearly written across his face.

"How long have you been awake?" He asks, sitting himself down on the seat opposite me.

"About an hour." I manage to croak out. He disappears in an instant, and a few seconds later he is back with a glass full to the brim with crystal clear water, which I don't hesitate to guzzle down.

"Better?"

"Much..." I pause as I am about to thank him, as a thought pops into my mind. "Malfoy what are you doing here? At this time of night?"

"Keep you're voice quite Weasley. I'm here to come and see you obviously." He says smirking.

"I know that but...why?"

"Because Weasley... I wanted to make sure you're not dead."

"I'm not in that bad a state Malfoy."

"I can see."

"I didn't know you had an invisibility cloak?"

"I don't. This is Potter's, he's very careless where he places his items."

Jesus, I was so preoccupied with Malfoy I forgot to ask him who put me in this position. As if he could read my mind he simply said.

"You've been here only about eight hours. And when that git cursed you, I was in the middle of a duel with Potter, which incidentally ended in a draw because you got hit. Before you start thinking Potter was the hero, which he wasn't I wasted no time in ending the duel, he was going to carry on."

Ginny gave a sigh. "Get to the point Malfoy."

He huffed in reply. "If you want me to get to the point, you will have to hear the whole story. Where was I..Oh yeah then when you had fallen you hit your head against this rock that was lying on the floor. So I heroically stopped the bleeding, and bought you up to the hospital wing."

"Well..." This was literally going to kill her. "Thank you Malfoy."

"You're probably curious as to whom but you in this state. It was you're git of a brother."

"RON!!"

"Weasley I told you keep quiet. Anyway apparently he tried to hit me, but his poor aim hit you instead."

"I'm going to kill him." I muttered through gritted teeth. I forgot... Oh no... that bloody kiss with Malfoy!!

"You don't need to Weasley, he's been dealt with. He is now currently occupying the bed opposite yours."
