Malfoy Neighbors

The Next Attack-Year 2 Chapter 8

Draco's pov

Draco tryed to catch you as you fell but hit the ground with you.

"(Y/n), wake up!" He shouted but nothing. Something was wrong. Draco ran to get help, running straight to the nearest office. It was professor McGonagalls office. He didn't bother with knocking. The door flew open. Standing inside was McGonagall and Sanp.

"Malfoy?" Both professors said together. But before either of them could say much more, Draco told them about how you passed out.

Your pov

You woke in the hospital wing with Draco sitting next to you. He was leaning back against the wall.

"How did I get here?" You said as you watched Draco jump.

"Professor Sanp carried you here." He said.

"What happend?" You sat up. He told you how you passed out and how he panicked.

"How long have I been in here?"

"Only about an hour, and before you try to get up, I should tell you that Madam Pompfhy said you need to stay and rest a while." You smiled at him. He was acting like the summer time Draco you fell for.

"I like this version of you." You said laying back down in the bed.

"This version?" Draco said with a puzzled look.

"You know, the kind version of you. The version you are now." You rolled over to face him. He was still leaning with his back against the wall but was looking at you. You reached out and took his hand. You held it for a little bit before speaking agian.

"Do my friends know I'm here?" You asked him closing your eyes.

"Yeah, they just left." Your eyes shot open when he said that. Did they find him here with you?

"Don't worry," he said looking at the ceiling. "I hid when I heard the three of them." You blushed and lightly tightened your grip on his hand and smiled. "I know you didn't want them to see me with you." Draco looked back at you. "You should go back to sleep. It's getting late and I'm gonna get kicked out of here soon." Draco mumbled.

"I don't want you to go." You said with you eyes closed again. Your grip on his hand was now firm. You felt the wormth of his other hand on top of your hand.

"I know." Draco's words were sweet as he pulled his hands away. He pulled the blanket up to your shoulders before saying goodnight and leaving.

The next morning you woke to the sun shining in through the windows. You still weren't sure why you had passed out. Madam Pompfhy said that you were running a really high fever that she couldn't get to go down. You looked out the window next to you.

It was time for the first Quidditch match of the year with Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. You weren't sure who you wanted to win. Sitting in a chair, you watched the game from the hospital wing. You thought about Draco's actions on the fild when he had called Granger a 'mudblood', but he had also been kind enough just yesterday to stop himself from even saying the word in passing.

You could see the Quidditch fild, thought the people were so tiny. The two teams came onto the fild and rose up. The game was starting with blurs of red and green zooming around one another. A bluger zoomed passed Potter, the same bluger seemed to be attracting him. The Weasley twins were protecting Potter with every thing they had. Finaly the whistle blew for a timeout. The Gryffindor team landed. Soon the teams started back up. The bluger continued flying at Potter. After a bit of flying around like a crazed bird, Potter hung in the air. Just then, the bludger hit Potter. He slid back on his broom. The bluger truned to attack Potter again. Potter swerved to miss it. Then he spead towards Draco who dodged him. Potter hit the ground. The Gryffindor team won. A bunch of Gryffindors ran to Potter along with Lockhart. Potter and the other team mates left the fild. It wasn't to long before Weasley, Granger and Potter all came threw the infirmary door.

"You should have come to me." You heard Madam Pompfhy say to the three of them. You crowled back into bed. You couldn't hear what was going on all that well. You drifted back to sleep.

"Get off....Dobby?" You woke to Potter's voice. You were having a hard time staying awake to listen but you did hear Dobby begging Potter to go home.

"Go home Harry Potter, go home." The elf wined. Dobby said something about the gateway to the school closed off to Potter and something about the bludger being Dobby's. Then you heard Dobby say something about the chamber. He wouldnt answer Potters qustions about it though. Soon you heard foot steps and the elf disappeared with a pop.

Dumbledore and McGonagall were carring a petrified Colon Greevey in. He was holding his hands up as if he took a picture. Dumbledore told McGonagall to get Madam Pompfhy. A few minutes passed and the two ladies returned. They thought that perhaps a photo was captured, but when they opend the camera to retrieve the film, they discovered it was melted.

The next morning you heard Madam Pompfhy telling Potter he could go when he was done eating. You sat up in bed. You felt sick to your stomach and the room was spinning again. You layed back down and closed your eyes. It wasn't long before you felt someone move your hair. You opened your eyes and smiled at Draco.

"Good morning." Draco said sitting down. "How are you feeling today?"

"The room is spinning." You said closing your eyes again. The room couldn't spin if you couldn't see it. You felt his hand grab yours. You smiled again. Draco Malfoy was holding your hand, a muggle-born's hand. You wanted him to keep holding it.

"Dobby was here last night." You told Draco opening your eyes to look at his shocked expression. You told him all you heard him tell Potter.

"My fathers gonning to hear about this." Draco said coldly.

"No, don't do that." You said pleading with him. "Poor Dobby will surely be punished and he did enough of that last night to himself."

"But..." Draco said when you heard the voices of Sam, Sebastian and Kathy walking through the door. Draco pulled away and slipped around the curtain into the empty space beside you. You set up wishing they would have just waited a few more minutes.

"(F/n), your awake!" You nodded to when Sam spoke excitedly.

"Did you hear about Greevey?" Sebastian asked. You pointed at Greevey in the bed across from you. They stayed for a while. When the three of them left to head to class, Draco came out of hiding.

"Don't you have to get to class too?" You asked as Draco sat down.

"Yeah, but its' fine." He said smiling as you layed back down. "It's just potions and Snap knows I'm here." You reached out your hand and waited. Draco took it in his.

"Go to class." You said softly. "I'm gonna need you to help me catch up." You pulled your hand back and tucked it under the covers. "And Please don't tell on Dobby." You said falling asleep.

"Ok." Draco whispered leaving you to sleep.
