Bloodlines (Draco Malfoy Story)

Chapter 9

Alex’s POV

 What’s this? Why do I feel like I’m bouncing but I’m not standing and it feels like we were running. Is someone carrying me? I tried to pry my eyes open. I was leaning on someone’s chest and I was right, a person was carrying me.

 “W-who-“ My voice was cut short because of the dryness present in my throat.

 “Alex. You’re awake.” I looked up and I was greeted by Neville’s flushed face. What was he doing here? What time is it? What happened?

All of the sudden the memories flashed back in my head so fast but I could comprehend. I was patrolling the corridors when I heard people looking for a vile. They broke in and they caught me hiding. I suddenly wiggled out of Neville’s grip.

 “Alex, what are you-“He was cut off when I fell from his grip and landed on the floor. “Alex you are hut!” Neville scolded and he quickly bent down to retrieve me.

“No!” I screamed. “People are here. Someone broke in. I must warn Professor McGronagall!” I tried to stand but my head pounded and my legs felt like jelly and I instantly fell back down on the floor.

“See.” Neville bent down once more and I held on to his shoulder. “We know the situation Alex. Teachers and some people in the ministry are here to find those intruders.” He explained and lifted me from the cold floor.

My head was literally spinning. I palmed my head to ease the throbbing pain but I felt something wet on my forehead. I retracted my hand from my head and looked at my hand. Blood. Blood was on my fingers and it was a lot of blood. My hands started to shake and my head was feeling light headed. I hated seeing blood most especially if it was my own. My vision was blurring and I saw black dots. Oh no. I’m blacking out.

“Neville.” I managed to utter but my eyelids dropped and all I could hear was Neville’s pants and his shoes hitting the marble floor.

 “Hang in there Alex.” He encouraged but I just lost it. I lost my consciousness.

 “This is the Ministry’s fault Minerva. I am so sorry.” I heard faint voice talking.

 “Kingsley. It’s okay. I should be the one at fault. I know that giving it to them would led to an accident sooner or later.” It was Professor McGronagall sighing.

 “I will ask some aurors to take over next week. We cannot have another student be a victim. I’m sure a few auror are finished with their Main Missions. I could assign them here.” Kingsley said.

 “That would be greatly appreciated Kingsley. Thank you so much.”

 “Good day Professor.”

 I opened my eyes and realized that I was in the infirmary. My eyes adjusted to the lights and pushed myself with my elbow. How long was I here?

 “Miss Paige!” I was startled and quickly turned to my right. Madame Pomfrey was rushing towards me. “I did not give you the order to move!”
