Chapter 6

I fell into the ice cold water, shock spreading throughout my body and the water consumed me.

My robes pulled me down and I gasped. 'I'm gonna die...' I thought.

I saw Draco backing away from the water. Bryson ran over to Draco, punching him.

As I sunk deeper, I thought about what had happened to me.

I felt vibrations as someone jumped into the water. Then it was black.

*A few days later*

I looked around, blearily, at the room I was in.

"H-hello?" I said shakily.

It was dark outside.

"My god! She's awake!" a woman's voice said.

"Ah, finally," said a welcoming voice.

I looked over and saw Madam Pomfrey and Professor Dumbledore.

They rushed over to me and Madam Pomfrey began checking me for any sicknesses.

"You were out for so long! Everyone thought you were dead!" Madam Pomfrey said.

"Poppy, slow down, all is ok," Dumbledore said. She sighed.

"Everything seems alright. You are free to go tomorrow," Madam Pomfrey stated.

"Thank you, miss," I replied. "Could you please tell me what happened? How did I get here?"

"Well, you see," she began, "when Mr Malfoy pushed you into the water, Mr Warlock jumped in and pulled you up. He then brought you here. You've been unconscious since last Tuesday."

I gasped. "I was out for four days?"

She nodded.

*The next day*

I walked down to the Great Hall. As soon as I walked through the front doors, six people ran up to me and hugged me tightly. I looked around, seeing Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione, Bryson, and Millicent.

"You're ok!"

"What happened?"

"Are you alright?"

"Who did this?"

"Let her go eat, you guys!" Mione said. I laughed and went to sit down with Millicent and Bryson, but Harry pulled me back.

"Who hurt you badly enough to make you unconscious for four days?" he asked protectively.

"It was M-Malfoy," I tattled.

Harry's eyes narrowed at Malfoy. I looked at him and saw him staring at us. He then looked away.

*Later*

I sat by the fire, reading. I heard the entrance open and close.

"Are you alright?" a voice asked me. I knew it all too well.

"What the hell do you want Malfoy? Are you here to push me into the fire now?" I yelled.

He looked down. I wanted to keep screaming at him, but he looked so hurt.

"Why did you even push me into the water in the first place?" I asked.

"B-because... I have- had a tiny crush on you.. and I needed to prove that I didn't," Malfoy said with a shaky sigh.

"You could have just talked to me! But no, that's not enough for the Draco Malfoy, you had to go try and drown me!" I shouted.

"Y/n... I'm sorry..." he said quietly.
