The Extra Malfoy

Chapter 13: Infirmary Visits and Late Night Trouble

I wake up, seeing a bandage wrapped around my chest. I look around and see I was lying in the infirmary bay. I sigh softly and try to sit up, ignoring the pain in my chest and my arm. "You need to stay still." Charlie says walking over to me with a glass of water. "What happened?" I ask her and she chuckles slightly. "Mikey used Filipendo on you; you went flying off the Astronomy Tower Balcony you fell about 30 foot. You landed right next to a bunch of 7th years who rushed you to the Infirmary." She says and I run a hand through my hair. I look down at the bandage seeing all the blood over it. "How long was I unconscious for?" I ask not knowing what the day was. "About a week. Madam Pomfrey put a spell on you so that your body could heal. It wore off today, hence why you're awake. You still have a lot of injuries to heal." Charlie tells me and I shrug. "You fell a long distance, you're lucky you survived." She tells me and I scoff. "More like unlucky. I should have died, it'd of been better off." I mutter and she slaps my leg. "Stop. Don't talk like that. Draco and Issac never left your side." She tells me and I rub my face. "I should never have come back Charlie. I should have dropped out." I tell her and she shakes her head. "We've been over this Onyx." She tells me sternly. I sigh softly and nod.

Charlie stays with me for a few hours before Draco appears, with Issac following soon after. I sit up slightly seeing him. The two walk over and sit on either side of me. "Hey." Issac says softly and I smile slightly as I see him "Hey." I say weakly. "I'm glad you're finally awake." He tells me and I shrug softly. "You had some bad injuries Onyx. You almost died. You broke 6 ribs, punctured your lung. Your spleen ruptured and you broke every bone in your arm. They had to put you in a coma for a week, Mom and Dad came to see you." I roll my eyes at the last part but Issacctakes my hand. "They did." He tells me and I glance down at our hands. "Hey D? Can you give us a second?" I ask him and he nods. He taps my arm softly before leaving us alone.

"I'm sorry." Issac says and I shake my head. "You have NOTHING to apologise. You did nothing wrong." I tell him softly. "I'm sorry. I should have told you about the mark the night it appeared instead of hiding it from you. If I had told you maybe you wouldn't have been put in the position you were. You almost died and it was my fault." I tell him. Issac shakes his head sitting on the bed next to me. "You saved me Onyx. When I was in that room, I could hear everything you were saying. I couldn't move to tell you because of whatever spell Voldemort had me under, but I heard you pleading him to leave me alone. When he did what he did to you, I was heartbroken; I didn't know what to do. I thought you might have turned into Draco, or become just like your family. And when you were rushed to the Infirmary that night Mikey sent you flying, Charlie and I rushed over here while she explained what happened in the forest with Bella." He says and I look away, annoyed at myself for letting my emotions get the best of me that day. Issac turns my head so I look at him. "I didn't let you explain when I should have done. You were trying to protect me." He says softly as he rubs my cheek. I nod softly closing my eyes. "I'll protect you every day, even when you don't want me." I admit and he laughs slightly. "I know, that's how you ended up here." He says causing me to laugh. I feel a sharp pain in my side and I lean back. "Sorry." He says and I shake my head.

"I'm just glad you're here. I never thought I'd see you again." I tell him honestly. He sighs and kisses my hand softly. I look down at his hands and see him wearing the ring. "You put the ring back on?" I say softly. He nods watching my reaction. "You almost died, twice, trying to save me." Issac says and I smile. "I'd do it all over again. I love you Issac Harlot. No matter what happens." I tell him, rubbing my thumb against his hand. He smiles softly kissing the back of my hand. "I love you, Onyx Malfoy." I smile widely as I hear him say that. I lean over to kiss him, not quite getting there before I hear someone clear their throat. I pull away and see Mikey watching us. I sit up, removing my hand from his. He shakes his head and walks over to me. "I'm sorry Onyx. For launching you out of a Window." He tells me and I shrug. "I deserved it. It's okay. I broke Issac's heart. I would have done a lot worse to me if I were you." I say with a soft smile on my face. He sits next to Issac as he takes my hand again. "I spoke to your brother. He explained what happened that night at the house with he who shall not be named. Draco told me everything; apparently Voldemort spoke about it at his ceremony. You were telling the truth. I should have believed you. I let my perception of Death Eaters get to me." He tells me and I shake my head. "You didn't know. None of you did." I say with a shrug. "It's fine. I understand." I tell him and he holds his hand out for me to shake. I shake it and he glances at Issac before leaving.
