Malfoy Neighbors

In Pain-Year 3 Chapter 3

Draco's pov

Draco sat on his bed for a while, before he was calm again. He was upset that you were going to hid the fact that Perkinson was in his room. 'What was she doing in here anyways?' Draco asked himself standing up. He walked to pet his owl, who was still standing on Draco's desk. Arrow took off to his perch.

"You think I was too harsh, don't you?" Draco asked Arrow. He sat down in the chair, and put his head in his hands with his elbows on the desk top.

"What was the deal (y/n) made with Perkinson?" Draco asked Arrow as if the owl could answer. He looked at the bird when he didn't get an reply.

"I should go find (y/n)." Draco said, standing to leave his room. Arrow hooted in agreement.

Your pov

You didn't go back to your room. You were upset that Draco was upset. You were sitting in the tree branches of the weeping willow, when you saw Perkinson. She found herself next to the tree too.

"When I get my hands on that little git, she's gonna pay." You heard her say. You looked over the water. Would she think about looking in the tree for you? Perkinson stood by the swing for a few minutes.

"Achoo!" You sneezed. Perkinson looked up.

"You!" She said coldly and started climbing. You climbed up further to get away from her, but she grabbed your angle and you both fell from the tree. She was physically stronger than you. You were under her as she hit you over and over again. You tryed to push her off of you.

"You better not have told him a dame thing! You're nothing! You're just a WEAK Hufflepuff!" She said as she punched you in the face.

"Get off me!" You yelled threw a bloody mouth. She kept going. You finally got her off long enough to pull away. You ran but she caught you again.

"I told you to stay away from him." Perkinson's voice sounded evil, as she held you down.

"I worned you." She pulled out her wand and pointed at you. Her knees on your arms so couldn't fight back. Your vision was blurred. All you could make out was the color of her cloths. You closed your eyes from the pain. Your whole body was in pain. You felt her get off of you.

" 'ive it 'ack!" Perkinson said. You opened your eyes but it was just to dark and blurry.

"I 'an't 'oo 'at 'er-son." You realized you couldn't hear that well either. You couldn't move. You closed your eyes again.

Draco's pov

Draco saw Perkinson pointing her wand at you. He ran up and took it from her.

"Give it back!" Perkinson said, climbing off of you.

"I can't do that Perkinson." Draco said. He put her wand in his belt with his wand and picked you up.

"Why do you like her so much?" Perkinson asked Draco, who ignored her. He carried you up to your room telling Perkinson to leave.

Your pov

You woke the next morning on your back in your bed. Your vision was back. You tryed to sit up but it hurt to move. You rolled your head to the window. The sun was up high. You rolled your head to the other side to only see the door.

"Dra..." you managed to get out. It hurt to talk. Perkinson had done a good number on you. Tears started filling your eyes. You were laying there in pain, when the door opend. You rolled your head to see who opend it.

"Your awake, good." Draco said walking up to you. He sounded like he was still upset with you.

"Dra..." you tryed to talk again.

"Save your strength." Draco told you pulling up the desk chair next to your bed. You rolled your head to look at the ceiling again. You were glad you could hear right again. Draco put an arm under your shoulders and one under your legs. You felt your body move to a sitting position. He was a lot stronger than you thought. You were now leaning against the headboard.

"I thought you might be hungery" Draco said putting a bed try on your lap. You looked down. You had pancakes and bacon on a plate, with a glass or apple juice. You looked back at Draco.

"I..." You tryed to speak.

"Shhh, just eat." Draco sat down in the chair he pulled over. You shook your head trying to hold back some tears.

"You're...mad...at...me!" You forced the words out.

"No, (y/n). I'm mad at Perkinson. Now eat." He leaned back and picked up your history of magic book. You slowly moved the tray off of you.

"You're...mad." You said. "I...can...hear...it." Draco looked at you.

"I'm still upset, but I'm not mad. Now eat." Draco said again. You didn't want to eat. You wanted Draco to talk to you.

"I'm...sor...ry!" You said forcing yourself to move you feet off the side you the bed on the other side.

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Draco said putting your book back down. He walked to the other side of the bed.

"Don't tell...me that." Your voice was starting to come back.

"No, I'm the one who should be apologising." Draco sat next to you on the bed. "If I wouldn't have gotten mad, you wouldn't have ran off." You looked at him confused.

"But..." you started saying while standing, but your words were cut off.

"You were doing what you do; keep your word." Draco said helping you to your feet. "You always keep your word." You were clearly unstable on your feet. You fell into him.

"Draco." You said when he helped you regain your balance.

"Are you ok now?" Draco said still holding onto you. You nodded with tears.

"I should have told you." You said. Draco shook his head.

"I was to harsh." Draco helped you walk to the chair. "You made a deal." You sat down.

"I told Perkinson I wouldn't tell you as long as she stayed out of your room." You said.

"I know. You said that before." Draco said moving the tray to the desk. "What was she doing in my room in the first place?" Draco sat down on the bed. You told him what she wanted to do. How she wanted to lay in his bed while he was gone. Draco smiled at you.

"And she did this to you because she thought you told me?" You nodded to his question.

"How long have I been out?" You asked seeing the Hogwarts envelope on the desk.

"A few days." Draco answered, moving you back to your bed. You were sitting next to him again.

"I hurt all over." You leaned into him.

"Your going to be sore for a while." Draco said pulling you closer. "It's not like we have Madam Pompfhy here to make everything ok again. You should eat something, it will help you heal faster." You layed your head on him.

"I'm not hungry." You said closing your eyes in pain.

"Then get some more rest." Draco said laying you back down. He coverd you up and kissed your forehead. Draco walked to the desk, picked up the tray and headed to the door.

"Draco?" You said, rolling to your side. He truned back. "Thankyou." You whispered and fell back to sleep.
