Through the Darkness | Draco Malfoy

Forty two

Aries has been in the hospital wing for days, she can't believe herself anymore, always jumping into trouble and getting herself into danger.

Seems like a nice day, but some idiot beside her bed has been snoring for a while which got in her nerves, but this time his snores were louder than before.

"Will you STOP—" she turned her head and saw Ron, on the bed sleeping with Harry, Ginny and Hermione beside her bed. And Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall. Slughorn were there too. "What in the name–"

"You're awake!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Of course, Aries Black doesn't die, but when she does, she doesn't." said Snape, always with those negative comments, good ol' Snape.

Aries sat on the bed and leaned to the wall behind her. "Are my brothers alright?" she asked.

"Yes, he's being taken care of by Hagrid." said Ginny.

"Good, fantastic, hmm." Aries said, looking around the room. "Is there a mirror?"

"Here." came Promfrey, handing her a hand mirror.

Aries took a look at herself and gasped. "What are those?" Aries threw the mirror to the end of the bed and covered her face with the blanket.

"It's only a bandage on your eye and some few band aids on your face." said Pomfrey.

"What happened to my eye?!" Aries yelled.

"No need for screaming you!" said Pomfrey. "That Parkinson girl made a scar on your eye, but be thankful it's a small scar."

"Huh?!" Aries widened her eyes but felt a sting to her right eye. "Ow it hurts.., what happened to Ronald anyway?" she asked while covering her right eye with her hand.

"He has been poisoned." said Harry. "Someone must've sent the poison to Professor Slughorn to deliver it to Dumbledore. But Ron took it instead."

With that look in his face, she knew what he meant.

It must be Draco, he's targeting Dumbledore to kill him? Exactly why is it always Dumbledore?! Unless it's an order from his father or far worse, Voldemort.

"Where is he?! Where is my Won Won?! I heard he's asking for me!"

Someone came bursting inside. It was Lavender.

Aries looked at her in disgust "Won Won?"

Lavender stopped and saw Hermione. "What is she doing here?" she said, with an annoyed tone.

"I might ask you the same question!" said Hermione, getting up.

"I happen to be his girlfriend!" Said Lavender, glaring at Herms.

Aries stood up despite the pain and went beside Hermione, pointing at Lavender.

"And we happen to be his friends." she said. "Are you going do something about it?"

She swallowed and looked at her with deep deeeep anger.

"I've had enough of you, Aries. All this time pretending to be your friend just so I won't get killed by a mass murderer's daugh—!"

Aries came closer to her quick, grabbed her shirt and gave her a strong punch in the nose which got her dropping on the ground.

"Ooh, that must've hurt." said Dumbledore.

"Albus!" McGonagall scolded him.

Pomfrey came to her and did something with her wand to her nose. "You broke her nose." she said.

"She called my father a mass murderer." Aries said, glaring at her.

"It's not an insult if it's true!" said Lavender, pressing on her nose.
