Royals (Draco Malfoy x Reader)

Chapter 42

Draco Lucius Malfoy

As the bell chimes, we all run off as we race up the tower stairway, then passing through the mechanism and on through to the end of the corridor. The Clock Tower bell thunders. The door opens. Dumbledore backs out and I let out a little gasp "By the way when in doubt, I always find retracing my steps to be a wise place to begin... Good luck." As Dumbledore begins to close the door, Harry, Hermione and I stumble frantically forward, the door about to hit the jamb, when suddenly Dumbledore stops. Looks up "well?" "He's free -- Sirius. We... we did it." Harry gasps out quickly "did what?" he had a mischievous twinkle in his eye and waved to us as he began down the stairs. We enter the room quickly and get a faint glimpse of ourselves and then they disappear, I look over at Ron who frowns, confusion sprawled on his face "How'd you two get over there? I was just talking to you... over there." he mutters and Hermione and I exchange glances  "What d'you think, Harry? Hermione?  Too much for him -- everything that happened tonight?" I snicker "Afraid so. Always been a bit of the nervous type, Ron has." Harry chimes and we all begin to laugh loudly.

I had to stay in the hospital for a few more days, due to all the running my wounds had opened again and they stung more, Ron had been discharged and I sat in the hospital alone and bored, Hermione and the boys visited every day bringing books and toys but they always had to leave rather quickly. The doors swung open and I sit up quickly praying it was one of my dear friends. I glance towards the door and a mop of blonde hair makes its way towards me, my smile fades lightly. "Hello Malfoy," I speak quickly "Can I help you?" I tilt my head looking at the boy and he shakes his head sitting on the edge of my bed. "I just came to visit you, just like you did for me when I fell during quidditch" he had the faintest of smiles on his face and I nod, I glance towards the boy's hands, he had a small bouquet of peonies in his hands, he gives them to me gently, "they're rather beautiful, they're known to be a good get well soon flower" he speaks. "Thank you" I grin and push myself from the bed exchanging the dead flowers that William had given me for the new ones. I sat beside the boy in a comfortable silence "I was worried" he said his voice was quiet "really?" I looked at the boy and his eyes met mine. "of course I was, you could have died! you were attacked by a serial killer!" he hissed gesturing to the wounds and I laughed lightly "I'm still kicking!" I pushed my shoulder against him lightly and he did the same. "the Slytherin prince concerned about little old me?" I shove him again and he rolls his eyes "so what? you're not too bad" he shot back and winked playfully. "let's start again blood traitor" he stuck out his hand "I'm Draco Lucius Malfoy, Its a pleasure to make your acquaintance" a sly smirk on his face "(Name) Alexadrea Windsor, the pleasure is all mine" I grasped his hand and shook it. "Friends?" he questioned and I nodded.

Her hand grasped mine delicately, they were smooth and her nails were manicured perfectly. I let go of her hand and turned to gaze at her taking in her features. Her eyes were a beautiful (e/c) and complimented her (s/t) skin, her hair was (h/c) and (h/l) it was silky obviously she took good care of herself. "Dracooooo, Draco!! are you even listening?!" her voice was thick with a London accent, smooth like honey, compared to mine which was raucous and laced with a Wiltshire accent. My train of thought was stopped as she began to shake me lightly. "oh! sorry, what were you saying" I looked at her and she smiled cheerfully at me "I was asking if you could help me with astronomy?" she tilted her head. "yes!" I practically shouted, "Imean- yeah sure!" I tried to play it off and she laughed at me, "Thank You! Oh Harry, Ron and Hermione will e here soon" she smiled lacing at the clock. I stood quickly "where are you going?" she asked, "I don't like them" I dismissed and she smiled, a genuine smile as if I hadn't just said that I didn't like her friends. "okay bye Draco" she waved at me and I waved back exiting the room.
