Sarafina Weasley: Book Six

Katie's Return

Sarafina's POV

When I went downstairs into the common room this morning I see Katie is back and is talking to Leanne. "Katie, glad you're back. When did you arrive?" I ask her smiling.

"I'm really well" she tells me smiling. "They let me out of St. Mungos on Monday, I had a couple of days at home with Mum and Dad and then came back here this morning. Leanne was just telling me about McLaggen and the last match" she explains.

"Don't mention that imbecile" I tell her groaning.

"But I also heard how well you did against Slytherin. Thank you so much for rejoining the team while I recovered. I'm sure it wasn't easy with your work load" she says.

"It wasn't, Hermione helped a lot with my schedule" I tell her. "But with you back and Ron fit again. Gryffindor has a great chance at beating Ravenclaw in two and half weeks" I say smiling. "Then we'll still be in the running for the quidditch cup" I state.

"Don't worry, I'll train hard" she tells me. "Thank you" she says.

"Why are you thanking me again?" I ask her confused.

"For not asking about what happened. Everyone's been asking me, but I haven't got a clue. The last thing I remember was walking into the ladies' in the Three Broomsticks" she explains.

"I'm sure if you remembered anything, you would of told McGonagall or Dumbledore" I state. "Well great to have you back, good luck with the team. They've all improved a lot since tryouts" I tell her.

"Good to hear, I'll talk to Harry later" she tells me. I nod my head and leave for the great hall. I sit down with Neville and we start to discuss herbology. I soon see Katie come in with Leanne and they sit with Ginny & Demlza. No doubt Katie wanted to hear more about how they are doing as chasers. I go back to my breakfast.

I soon realize it's nearly time to go to class. So I get up to leave. When I turn towards the door I see Harry talking to Katie. She then looks towards the door and goes a little ashen. I follow her gaze to see Draco and frown when I see him looking at her strangely. I look back at her and Harry to see her leaving him while Harry looks at Draco.

I look back to see my boyfriend run from the room and Harry follows. I curse under my breath and follow. I enter the entrance hall to see no one and listen. I hear hurried footsteps to my right and run that way. I soon hear a duel and arrive at Myrtle's bathroom.

I enter wand drawn to see Myrtle crying for the fighting to stop. "Sectumsempra!" I hear Harry shout and look to see the spell hit Draco in the chest. Blood spurted from Draco's face and chest as though he had been slashed with an invisible sword. He staggered backward and collapsed onto the waterlogged floor with a great splash, his wand falling from his limp right hand.

"Draco!" I shout in horror and rush over to him through the water. I kneel beside him. I look at the blood pooling around and think of a healing spell.

"Sara, I'm so sorry. I didn't know this would happen" Harry tells me.

"Just shut up Harry!" I yell at him as tears cloud my eyes. I take a deep breath and wave my wand over Draco's wounds. "Vulnera Sanetur" I say in song like voice.  I don't stop even when I here the door bang open. I'm to focused on saving my boyfriend's life. The bleeding slows and the wounds begin to knit together. Once they are all sealed I relax and look up to see Professor Snape. He helps Draco stand supporting him.

"You need the hospital wing. There may be a certain amount of scarring, but if you take dittany immediately we might avoid even that.. . . Come" he says heading for the exit. Then stops looking at Harry. "And you, Potter . . . You wait here for me" he says with cold fury. "Miss Weasley come" he says in a nicer tone and I follow him after retrieving Draco's wand.

"He'll be alright, won't he?" I ask him.

"You did very well Miss Weasley" he tells me. We arrive at the hospital wing and he calls Madame Pomfrey over. "We need dittany" he tells her. She runs off to grab it as Professor Snape lays Draco on a bed. "What happened?" he asks me.

"I don't really know. I was about to head to class when I saw Draco run out of the great hall and Harry following. I felt something was wrong and followed. By the time I arrived they were all ready dueling while Myrtle yelled at them to stop. I then heard Harry yell 'sectumsempra' and Draco was covered in slashes. I immediately rushed to his side and started to heal him. Then you arrive about half way through the healing process" I explain.

"Are you sure about the spell Potter used?" he asks me and I nod my head. Madame Pomfrey returns and immediately starts to apply the dittany to Draco's knitted wounds.

"He should be fine Severus, though I want him here over night for observation" she tells him.

"Thank you, keep me updated. I must go deal with the culprit" he tells her before leaving. I sit down and hold Draco's hand.

"You may stay if you wish Miss Weasley, I shall alert Minerva and she'll tell your teachers" she tells me.

"Thank you" I say not taking my eyes off of Draco. She leaves us. "Why did you have to fight? You nearly died" I tell him tearing up again.

"But I didn't" he says hoarsely.

"Promise me you'll stay here tonight, no cabinet" I tell him firmly.

"But I have..." he starts to protest.

"I don't care, you nearly died today. That earns you a night off" I snap. "I'll be here to make you rest properly" I add. "Besides it'll do you good. It'll clear your mind and you can look at it differently" I tell him.

"Ok, I promise" he tells me. I smile and kiss him gently. I stay with him all morning. At lunch Pansy, Theo and Blaise come to visit bring us both lunch. We all chat and Pansy gives Draco his homework. Which I help him with once they leave. He and I then relax talking about random things. He made me leave to eat dinner though and brush my teeth. I came back with pjs in hand and see him already in his.

"Blaise brought them in" he tells me. I nod my head and go the hospital bathroom. I change and crawl into the bed beside his. As moving it closer to his. "Sweet dreams my lioness" he tells me.

"Good night my dragon" I say tired. We face each other and hold hands. I close my eyes and manage to fall into a dreamless sleep.
