Draco and Luna: the clearest of feelings

Say something...

When Draco reached her he was horrified and distraught by what he saw before him. Luna's body was twisted, her legs and arms stuck out at all different angles.

He picked her up in a bridal style, she was cold, icy cold and her eyes were heavy she tried to mumble his name "dr..a...dra..."

"Sshh" he said "try and keep your strength" thats the last thing he heard from her. He ran through the corridors all the way to the hospital wing professor mcgonagall was already there as was madam pomfrey.

"what happened?!" they said in unison.

Draco gasped to try and catch his breath and then he told them a detailed recount of how pansy parkinson tryed to use an unforgivable curse on her and how she had tricked her and then how he had arrived there much too late and "and then she kicked her, she kicked her and she was rolling and turning all the way to the foot of the stairwell."

He finished telling the story, his eyes wrre full of tears though he couldn't let a teacher see him cry.

He had to wait as madam pomfrey closed the curtains around Luna and gave her a full examination.

After what was probably only ten minutes, which felt like ten years to draco, madam pomfrey drew back the curtains and went and spoke to mcgonagall. He didn't hear what they were saying though he knew almost immediately that they had not accidentaly taken the precaution, although he did here one snippet of the deep converse between his headmisstress and the main school nurse "do you think that young mr Malfoy ovet there should be told?" "indefinitely"

As madam pomfrey left to confine in the depths of her dark office Professer mcgonagall approached him with the most solemn look on her face.

"Mr Malfoy..." she said sighing," Unless miss Lovegood here" she said with her arm indicating Luna " says something or shows any signs of life over the next few hours I am afraid she will be transferred to st Mungos hospitals critical care unit though if this does occur then we are afraid to say that all hope will be lost.

Draco threw himself down to Lunas bed his head in his hands sobbing silently he knew that there was no hope for her when he lifted his head he realised that they were alone not knowing how long it would last he thought he would make the most of having her alone he began stroking her long, soft hair out of her innocent face he knew that this was the last time that he would see her.

He leant over her frail body and kissed her.

He sat back in his chair and as soon as he reclined his nails digging into the sides of his head her heart rate monitor emmited a high pitched song that never changed tone.The line was straight.

She.Was.Dead.

He thre2 himself to the ground and screamed the scream echoed through the dark hospital ward.

Then all of a sudden his mood changed he felt angry he was whispering to her in a sly tone "say something...saysomething...say something ..."His voice gradually getting louder until

"like what" she said in her soft defenceless tone "how about crumple horned snorcack" They laughed together then she drifted off into a peaceful sleep. She was smiling.
