It Started With A Dare

Chapter 9: Potter?

Draco's POV (A\N Draco is part Veela and he inherited their powers already)

     Soon i made in to the top, i looked around. Some owls where sleeping, others where staring at me and some were missing, probably out hunting. "Potter?" I called for him. "Potter?" I asked again. "Potter" Silence. "Harry Potter?" I said his full name, still no response. I took out my wand. "Lumos" I muttered and the tip of my wand lit up. I looked around once again and i saw a clump of black clothes, something inside was moving. "Potter!" I ran over to the robes and i put my wand down. I put my arm under his head. "Potter!" I shook him slightly. I put my free hand to his neck, looking for a pulse. I felt a pulse i leaned my head closer to his. I put my forehead on his, "He's cold.. a bit to cold for a normal human" I picked him up, bridal style, i looked . "Potter, you better not harm yourself.." I muttered. I began to walk when i felt myself shiver.  "If some one see's me, i'll be doomed.." I thought to myself. I looked at Potter, "Don't you dare wake up yet.." I took my robes off, leaving my shirt, pants, shoes and tie exposed. I put my robes over Potter's limp body. I looked around once again and i focused most attention and will power to my back. I felt my huge, white, feathered wings sprout from my back. "Sometimes being part Veela is good." I muttered. I flapped my large wings and i slowly got lifted into the sky. I flew at full speed to make sure nobody sees me.  I slowed down my large wings beating in the sky. I cradled Potter closer to my body. Slowly i hovered down and my feet touched the ground. I wrapped my wings closer to Potter and i, making warmth for the both of us. 

     I took my will power away from my wings, making them slowly disappear. Soon they were gone and i began to walk inside the castle. "You're an idiot sometimes Potter.." I muttered and i felt him move a bit.  I looked at him and i saw his eyes flutter open a bit. I looked ahead and i began to walk again. "Malfoy? Where am i?" He asked me. "I'm taking you to the common room. What happened?" I looked down at his face while saying the last part. "I don't know why i passed out..." He looked over to the ground. "Can i walk on my own?.." He asked me. "Are you sure you can walk on your own?" I asked him, he shrugged. I stopped and i carefully put him on his feet. We started walking in silence. "Malfoy?" I looked over at him. "Hm?" I hummed a short response. "Why and how did you find me?" He asked me. I sighed. "Why did i try to find him?" I asked myself in my head.  "You're in Slytherin, like it or not we all have each other's back. It's how we achieve greatness. By helping each other."  I told him, it was very true. Slytherins are loyal and we have each other's back. "But you could've just left me.." He told me. I sighed. "Just don't think to much about it. Plus you're face is all sunken in. Do you eat well?" I asked him. I saw, from the corner of my eye, that he looked a bit shocked. "Yeah, i always eat.." I answered me. I was going to arguer with him but i heard footsteps around the corner. "It's either a teacher, Blaise, Fred or George.." I muttered to Potter. 

   I heard the footsteps getting closer. I stayed still and as quiet as possible, soon the footsteps came to a stop. "I heard someone walking down this corridor Fred" I peeked my head out from the corner and i saw the Weasley twins. "Oh you guys scared me-" I heard George say. "Well i found him" I told them, looking back at Potter. "Hey Harry, where were you?" George asked Potter. "I was at the owlery, looking at Hedwig.." I sighed. "Well lets head back and sleep, where's Blaise?" I asked the twins. "I think he went back to the dorm." Fred answered this time. I nodded and looked back at Potter. "Don't wander off this time." I told him and he nodded. All of us walked in silence, soon we ran into Blaise. We all started to talk in hushed voices. Soon we made it to our dorm. We all pilled inside. I looked at the twins. "Since you guys are a year older, your dorm is to the right. The twins nodded and walked into their dorm. I sat down in a arm chair. Potter stood awkwardly by the door. "Come sit Potter. I have some questions for you." I told him and he slowly walked closer to me. He say down in a chair by the fire. "What questions do you have for me?" He asked me and i nodded. 

     We sat by the fire and he kept looking around. "Potter, i'll get started on the questions." He nodded and looked at his hands the rested in his laps. "Why did you flee from the Slytherins?" I asked him. "I.. i didn't want to face my fears.." He answered, quietly. I sighed. "Why does your face look so sunken in and why are you so light? I want the truth Potter." I told him sternly and i was looking directly at him. "Why do you care? As far as i know you hate me, so why do you care?" He asked me, this time looking at me. I opened my my mouth but nothing came out of it. I shrugged. "That's not important right now Potter. Just answer the question." I told him, this time a bit worried. "I don't think i can tell you yet, we're still enemies last time i checked.. And knowing you, you will go and tell the whole school." He told me and i sighed. "How about a truce and a put a end to our rivalry?" I held my hand out, like i did in the first year. He looked at my  hand and it seemed like he was thinking. "Fine, but you'll have to earn my trust before i tell you the answer to your question.." He reached his hand out and shook my hand.
