A Riddle [Draco Malfoy X Reader]

Chapter ten

I stared at the beast in front of me. It's ugly face looked down at me with confusion. The troll growled and raised it's club, aiming it at me.

I moved out the way whimpering. Hermione grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her.

The troll stomped over to us , hitting and smashing everything in its way. Hermione ducked under a sink in fear as the troll came towards her.

I picked up a few bits of the broken cubicle and started throwing it at the troll. "Look over here you slimy piece of shit!"

The troll turned it's hideous face towards me. It raised its club and swung it. I tried ducking out the way but was too late. Next thing I knew, I was surrounded by darkness.

Bright light hit my face as soon as I tried to open my eyes. My head hurt and my libs ached. I tried looked around the bright white room but my eyes were still trying to get used to the sudden brightness.  'Am I in heaven?'

I pushed my body upwards in an upright position, causing my headache to get slightly worse. Groaning, I put a hand up to my head like I was trying to steady it.

"Oh I see you're awake Ms. Riddle" A cheerful voice came from in front of me. I look up to see the hogwarts nurse , Madame Pomfrey in front of me , carrying a box of potions. Me , not fully registering what was happening said "Am I.. am I dead?" I stirred.

A giggle came from her "No dear , you're not, thankfully"

I looked around , seeing the usual beds and and chairs from the Hospital wing. My eyes finally got used to the light. "How long have I been out?" I asked the nurse.

"A few days. You took a very hard hit to the head, it's a miracle you're awake at all" she sighed. I nodded, fumbling with my hands. Madame Pomfrey handed me a bottle , which I would assume it was a potion and told me to drink. After I drunk it (which had a very disgusting after taste to it) I was about to put it on the bedside table when I realized there were candies and a few 'get well soon' cards.

"Umm... Poppy? Did I get any visitors?" I asked curiously as I examined my bedside table. I saw her smile at me "Yes dear, four students came to visit you." Well that's a lot more than I expected. I thought no one was going to visit. Noticing my curious glances at the gifts she spoke up again.

"Mr. Potter Mr. Weasley and Ms. Granger came, oh and let's not forget Mr. Malfoy, that boy was in here every second he could." She winked at me with a smirk.

My face flushed. My brain was overwhelmed with thoughts and questions. I shook away those thoughts and picked up a a light green card.

"Don't die Riddle
                -D.M"

I laughed under my breath. I immediately knew who it was from as soon as I saw the words 'don't die'. Seriously, this kid will be the death of me.

I put the card down and read the the other cards. They were from Harry , Hermione and surprisingly, Ron. I smiled and got on my feet, wobbling a bit. "Where do you think you're going Ms. Riddle?" Poppy tutted. "Just spend one more night here for you to fully heal and you'll be off on your way."

I sighed and looked at the  calendar that was hung on the wall and looked at the date. My eyes widened "But the first quidditch game of the season is today! Come on Poppy , you can't possibly let me miss that." I jumped up, trying to look like there was nothing wrong with me.

Poppy sighed heavily and rolled her eyes in defeat. "Fine, if you truly are feeling better you can leave" A massive grin formed on my face. I thanked her and left with my gifts and cards that were on the bedside table.
