Chapter 9

(Your PoV)

I felt a sharp pain in my head as I hit the ground, then I was out like a light.

I awoke 4 days later, the pain in my head coming and going. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all there when I woke up. They hugged me and told me to stop getting so hurt.

After they left, I started going through all of the gifts I had gotten. I looked at one of the bags and then at the doors to the Hospital Wing, only to see Malfoy.

I sighed. I pretended that I didn't see him and began opening the bag.

Inside was a bunch of the best books ever written. There was a note from Hermione.

Then I saw it. A broom. Wrapped in brown paper.

I ripped it open and saw the title.

"FIREBOLT" It read.

The newest model broom. And it's mine...

I smiled.

I put down everything and sighed. Madam Pomfrey walked over to me.

"I think you have an invisible visitor," she whispered.

My first thought was Harry, but she pointed to the door and I saw Malfoy.

I shrugged.

"Ok, well I have some good news and some bad news!" Madam Pomfrey said happily.

"Your wound is completely healed, and you can leave tonight! But, for a few weeks, you may feel a few head pains!" she explained.

"Ok, that's fine," I replied.

*That night*

I walked out of the Hospital Wing with Malfoy.

Madam Pomfrey had asked him to escort me to the Great Hall, not knowing he's the reason I was there in the first place. She was worried I would fall because I haven't been doing anything. I honestly think that Dumbledore told her about him shipping us.

Dumbledore told me himself, he is the ultimate fanboy. He takes his students and ships them. He ships Romione (Ron+Hermione), Hinny (Ginny+Harry), and he told me he doesn't have a ship name for me and Draco. I was outraged when he told me he ships me with Draco, but what can I do about it?

I looked at the ground while I walked. I didn't want to be walking with Malfoy. The selfish git, who everyone calls the Slytherin Prince.

We entered the Great Hall and I went to sit with Bryson and Millicent. They complained about me constantly being hurt and going to the Hospital Wing.

I smiled at them. "This isn't the first and it sure as hell isn't the last," I said.

They crossed their arms.

"But we get lonely without you!" Millicent whined.

I smiled and shrugged. "You have each other!"

I looked at Malfoy and studied his features. Piercing blue-grey eyes, white-blonde hair... 'He's cute, don't you think, Y/n?' I thought. 'NO!! I DO NOT like Malfoy at all!!'

Malfoy looked at me. I looked away at my food.

What is wrong with me?

<><><><><><><><>

I was really excited about the Quidditch match today. Even though I'm going against Harry, I wasn't going to hold back.

The team walked out to the pitch to a bunch of boos from the other houses.

I looked down and flew up at the whistle. I began searching for the Snitch. I wasn't really paying attention to anything else, but I had noticed that Slytherin had been playing dirty.

I spotted the Snitch and sped towards it. Harry flew beside me, spotting the Snitch as well.

I noticed a Bludger coming at Harry. "Harry! Duck!" I yelled.

He flew down a little and the Bludger was coming at me. I turned my head to it wouldn't be as painful and fell.

I got hit in the head with the Bludger and plunged down to the ground. Fred, George, and Harry all rushed towards me, but I was already unconscious.

I woke up a few days later with a throbbing pain in my head. I saw Harry and Ron sitting next to me, but not Hermione.

"Hey guys," I mumbled to them.

They jumped, looking at me.

"Y/n!" Ron shouted, hugging me.

"Y/n, I'm so sorry that this happened to you! If I hadn't ducked-" Harry began.

"Harry, it's not your fault! Hey, where's Hermione?" I asked.

"Library," Ron said with a shrug.

"She has some big test or something," Harry added.

I nodded. "Ok!"

We talked and they left. Madam Pomfrey explained to me what had happened.

"A bludger hit the side of your head. Personally, I think Parkinson paid someone to do it!" she said.

I smiled. "Yeah, probably."

The nurse sighed. "You are in here so often! That really needs to change!"

I nodded. "I try my best."

She shook her head. "Not enough. Ok, well, tomorrow I will see how you are feeling and you can go!"

I smiled. "Sounds great!"

The next day, I walked into the Great Hall and sat with Bryson and Millicent. Every now and then I would look at Pansy Parkinson and Malfoy. Malfoy was always staring at his food and Parkinson was snickering with her friends, occasionally looking at me.

Our class was boring as ever, even though in Potions Snape yelled at Harry and me for some idiotic reason.

Defense Against the Dark Arts was fun. We learned about all sorts of monsters.

One day at D.A.D.A, Professor Lupin wasn't there, but Snape was.

"Turn to page 394."

We all did and it was about werewolves.

"Excuse me, Professor, but we aren't learning about this quite yet," Hermione said.

I began reading ahead. 'Why is he teaching us this? And where is Professor Lupin?' I thought.

I soon got lost in my thoughts. I heard nothing about what happened in class. Harry was suddenly shaking me to get my attention.

"Y/n! It's time to go to Herbology!" He said.

I got up and walked with him.
