As the World Caves In

    Madam Pomfrey said that my hand is fractured but she can fix it with a potion. So I sit down on one of the beds in the infirmary and take the potion. "Can I go back or do I have to stay here overnight?" I ask her. "You can go, take care!" she responds. As I start getting up I see Draco standing in the doorway, smiling at me softly. I go up to him and hug him tightly but hiss because my hand still hurts. "How is it?" he asks while carefully taking  my hand so he could take a look at it. "Fractured. I'll live" I say to him. "Do you feel good enough to celebrate our win captain?" he asks with a smile. "Absolutely! We gotta celebrate our greatest seeker!" I say to him as I caress his face with my good hand. He lightly grabs my chin and kisses me "Let's go" he says softly. When we get to the dungeons I see the utmost people I have ever seen there and when we enter they start cheering for us. We spend the night chatting, partying and when I go to my dorms I see dozens of roses on my bed with a note: I'm glad you didn't die today -D. I smile to myself and the world seems normal and happy again.

    The next day I wake up early, before anyone else so I go up to the Astronomy Tower and watch the sunrise, enjoy the peace for a while. As I get down the stairs to go back I see Luna exiting the ravenclaw's room. "Hi Luna!" I say to her. "Hi Skye, you were really good yesterday! Is your hand okay?" she asks warmly. "Thank you, your team played great too! Yeah it's just a fracture, easy fix." I answer her. "I'm glad to hear that. Would you like to join me and Ginny to Three Broomsticks later today?" she wonders. "That'd be lovely, see you later then!" I say bye to her and go back to slytherin's common room. I see Blaise and Adrian hanging out, Blaise turns to me and asks "How's the hand cap'n?" I sit in a sofa and answer "Fine Zabini, thanks. Good game yesterday and great party." I compliment him. "Morning guys." someone says while coming down the stairs. "Oh hi Skye!" Draco says more cheerfully when he realizes I'm there too as he sits down next to me. "Morning bb" I smile at him and kiss him as he grabs my neck to pull me closer. "So some friends of mine are going to Hogsmeade and they invited me" I say to Draco. "Oh I thought we were going to spend the day together" he looks at me sadly. "We could do something tomorrow though!" I try to cheer him up as I take his hand. "Promise?" he asks as he moves my hair out of my face and puts it behind my ear. "I'm going to vomit" says Adrian as he imitates throwing up. "Pucey I'm gonna close your mouth shut then you can throw up in there" I threathen him but he just says "I'd like to see you try Thorn" with a smirk and gets closer to me. "I'll hex your ass if you don't stop" Draco defends me as he grabs my thigh in anger. I smile to myself. "You guys are really going for that power couple title, huh?" Blaise asks. "What do you mean?" Draco looks at him weirdly. "Everyone in school is scared of you guys but secretly wants what you have. How come you don't know?" he explains. "I don't really care about what people think. When they stare at me I just look at them threateningly." I answer with a serious face. "I mean I'm not surprised we're really powerful" Draco says as he grabs my chin to kiss my neck and my lips. I giggle as I hear the other boys scoffing with jealousy. A couple of hours pass so I say bye to Blaise, Adrian and Draco then go down to meet the girls.

     I see Ginny and Luna waiting for me so I go up to them "Hi guuys" I greet them. "Where is lover boy?" Ginny asks jokingly. "Well it's girls day" I look at her weirdly. "I actually think you guys are good together" Luna adds to ease the tension. "Thanks Luna. And by the way what's with your lover boy Ginny?" I strike back at her. "Dean's sweet" she answers briefly and shyly. We get to Three Broomsticks, order some butterbeers and sit down in a cozy corner. "Oh look your boyfriend's here" I say to Ginny as I spot Dean accross the room sitting with some gryffindors. "Yeah well yours just came in" she says to me so I look at the door and see Dray and Blaise coming in. "You know we don't have to talk about your boyfriends if it's a girls day" Luna chimes in trying to calm us down. "So how are the detentions with Umbridge?" Luna asks me. "Her office is an actual place from hell and she really tries to break me with the detentions but it's obviously not working" I laugh as I take a sip of butterbeer. "Oh by the way Ginny I heard you made it on the quidditch team!" I say with excitement. "Yeah, I'm really looking forward to playing against you guys" Ginny responds with a smile. "Ginny your brothers are here too." Luna says so we look at the door and see Fred and George coming in. I choke on my butterbeer because George and I hadn't talked in a while. But me choking creates attention and both George and Dray look at me. "Are you okay Skye?" Luna asks sweetly. "Yeah I'm fine" I say while looking at George as he laughs at me. I bury my face in my hands out of embarassment. "You guys haven't talked in a while I guess" Luna wonders. "Yeah, you could say that" I say to her as I watch George go to a table and sit down. "Do you know why he's not talking to me?" I ask Ginny. "He's probably jealous that you're dating Malfoy" she answers. "Why would he care about who I'm dating?" I ask her. "You really still don't know? You really need someone to shove it in your face when they fancy you, huh?" she giggles. My eyes widen and I look at her with a weird expression on my face. "I'm sorry what? He fancies me? No way..." I look over to him and see that he's looking at my way too so I quickly look away. "Is that the reason why he won't talk to me? I miss him so much.." I say sadly. "You know maybe I could convince him to talk to you." Ginny offers kindly. "Or we could just invite them to sit over here" Luna says and she's already waving her hand at them, signaling to come over. The boys look at each other deciding what they should do. "Luna I don't think that's-" I start saying but stop because the twins are already standing in front of us. Fred sits next to Ginny and George wants to sit next to Luna but she moves over forcing George to sit next to me. "You were so bad ass yesterday at the match" Fred turns to me to break the silence. "Thank you" I giggle. George doesn't even dare look at me. Everyone can sense the tension between us so I try to ease it by saying "You know guys I've actually been thinking about switching Snape's shampoo so his hair will be green when we washes it. Wanna help me?" I ask the twins. "For sure! By the way we've been experimenting with candies that make you sick so you can get out of class..." Fred starts.
