Malfoy's Girl

Chapter 6- sick

I woke up finding out I was late for class, I had divination. I dressed up and went to class, I skipped breakfast that morning. When I got to class I found Ron and Harry sitting together, but I didn't see Hermione, I guess she didn't pick Divination. 

"Welcome students, I am Madame Trewlawny and I'll help you predict the future..." I could already tell this woman was crazy. 

"May I ask how exactly you'll help us do that?" It was Hermione, where did she come from? I could see Ron's face as confused as me. 

We didn't learn anything in divination, we just looked at empty tea cups and the professor spouted nonsense about our fates, such a waste of time.

After all of our classes I went to find Draco. I was on my way to the dungeons when I decided to shortcut through Dumbledore's office, it had a password to enter, which was usually something to do with sweets. I knew all this information from the year before when I wanted to save my brother and discover everything. But the door was opened this time, so I decided to go in. I was hiding in the side of the big door when I overheard a conversation between my brother and Professor Lupin, he was teaching my brother a spell. Apparently, a hard one. All I could hear was my brother saying again and again "Expecto Patronum" and Lupin was shouting at him, saying that he was doing it wrong. I was late, so I left. 

"You are late" I didn't even try to argue with him. "Yeah, I am". We went to the library, we chose a good period, as no one was there. "Why do we have to do this at the library?" I didn't answer him until we sat down, "Because, the most public the space is, the least anyone will suspect anything". We spent an hour figuring out our plan. For Easter Break we will be going together to the ministry, I would go in disguise. We will find out everything we can and come back, easy and simple. After we finished Draco and I went to the Hogwarts' fields and we seated next to the Whomping Willow. 
"Why are you after this man?" I could feel his penetrating eyes looking at me while saying this. I don't know why I'm looking for this man, maybe because I want to find more about my past, or my parents, maybe because it can be dangerous and I like that idea, or maybe for the fact that having my mind thinking about will make me forget how alone I am in this genuine world. "Let's just say that thinking about this type of mysteries takes my mind away from the fact that I'm alone in this big genuine world" I looked at him. "Why are you helping me, Malfoy?" he didn't hesitate even for a second. "Well, I guess I enjoy having company in this big genuine world" I smiled. "I guess we are both pretty lonely in this big genuine world" he laughed. "I guess so". But of course, good moments didn't last forever. 
"Draki, love!" it was Parvati, Draco got up and gave me a hand to get up too but I got up by myself. "Oh hi Eve, what are you guys doing here?" I hated Parvati, she had everything I didn't, I wouldn't admit this but she does. Let's start off by saying she has friends, and not in a sarcastic way. "Oh Parvi! Well nothing, just here with Draki. Are you doing super?" Draco tried to hide his laugh and Parvati looked pissed. Then I left for the Gryffindor room.

"Evie!" it was my brother. "What?" he approached me. "Are you ok?" he was looking at me serious but I couldn't stop laughing. That made me remember the spell thing with Lupin. Before he could call me I left the common room and ran towards the library. It was the seventh time I came to the library that week, it was more times than I had ever went in my life. I started to read about defensive spells but I couldn't find anyone on "Expoctrei Patornem" maybe I had it wrong, I decided to go ask Snape, I knew he was knowledgeable in the defense field. 
"Good evening professor" He was organizing some potions and stopped to look towards me. "Miss Potter, may I know what you are doing here" I approached his desk. "I was wondering if you knew anything about a defensive spell called Exprocten Patreom ?" He stared at me without blinking, which creeped me out a little. "Yes, I'm aware of which spell you mean" I didn't even let him finish. "Could you teach it to me?" He hesitated before responding. "I don't think so, I can't teach you a defensive spell as powerful as that to a third year student" I started to explain to him that it was important as I had some theories that someone was going to hurt me and he explained that they could be useful against dementors. After a while of convincing I managed to get him to say yes. For some reason, I wasn't scared of Snape, however, I could see how some people were. He gave off a cold, mean look. I had some theories for him too, as this one time he referred to me as Miss Evans, my mum's maiden name. I thought he might had been my mother's teacher but he was way too young for that. There were so many things I had to figure out. 

The spell was quite hard, but Snap told me I could get it right with a little practice. After I finished, it was supper time. I usually sit next to my brother, but he was no where to be seen. "Hey Evie" those were the twins, it was funny how they talked at the same time, sometimes. "Fred can you pass me the chicken" he was grabbing it when George pouted. "He is not Fred, I am, wait, no, what?" I laughed. "What did I do wrong?" he asked confused. Fred smiled and said "Evie is the one person that can figure who is who, she has always been able to do that" I had Fred at my right and George at my left, Ginny was in front of us three. "I can't even do that, and I'm their sister". I started thinking about those moments in the Weasley's house, when the twins and I used to play around and have a lot of fun, they made me not feel alone and I loved it. They were more my brothers than Harry had ever been. After supper I went and get my brother which was in the common room eating chocolate. 

I woke up the next morning with a horrible headache, I looked at the time, it was 5 am, no one was awake. I grabbed a blanket and left, I was walking in zigzag through the castle, not knowing where I was going, or not wanting to know where I was going. After five minutes of wandering around I found myself in the dungeons, I knocked on the slytherin common room door but there was no answer, I knocked again, and then I saw Draco opening the door, he looked at me confused and I just smiled for two seconds. Then I saw Parvati coming towards us and grabbing Draco by his hand and hugging him. Without saying a word I left, I came back to the common room, my head hurt more than ever. 

I woke up two hours after, to find McGonagall checking my forehead with a disapproving look on her face. I went back to sleep. Not sure how much time I had slept I woke up in the nursery. My head was better. Madam Pomfrey, mumbled some things I couldn't and didn't want to understand. Harry, Ron and Hermione had come to visit a couple of times. After them the twins came to amuse me a while, with all their jokes, I relied on them a lot, I honestly loved them as my real brothers. After a while my head started hurting again, but I couldn't sleep.
As I was closing my eyes I saw a silhouette of a boy in the nursery door, I could see who he was from his platinum hair. He approached my bed and sit next to me. "Came to annoy me, Malfoy?"  he didn't laugh, not even a smile. "What were you doing this morning in the dungeons?" I didn't know what he was talking about, I didn't remember going to the dungeons that morning. " Are you sure it isn't you dreaming about me again?" and again not even a smirk, i didn't know what was up with this boy. "No, it wasn't me, you came this morning and I was with Parvati" I was starting to remember everything, but I just thought it was a dream. I didn't answer him and just buried myself under the covers. "Evie, just answer" He took away the covers, leaving me freezing. "Look Malfoy, I feel sick alright, I'm freezing and I just want my mum to come here and give me a hug, and as I can't have that, will you leave me alone?" He looked worried now, with a cute look on his face. Draco grabbed the covers and put them over me, looked at me for a minute and then left. Whenever I mentioned my parents its as if I just hit an invisible button and had activated people's feelings. I was well aware that in some places that could've been called manipulating people's emotions, but you can always find a perk to everything. 

Hope you liked it!
