His Hidden Side - Draco Malfoy

9- Raw

There's a pounding on the common room door. Luna gets startled and removes her hand from the bloody cloth keeping in the bleeding. It falls on my face.

"While someone open this door! I don't have time for these stupid riddles!" I didn't anticipate Malfoy's voice so quickly and hearing it brought me relief.

Luna rushes to the door and pulls it open. Draco bursts in with the nurse. "I don't know who did it. I heard a scream in the bathroom, that's all."

"Well why is she here? You should've brought her to me immediately."

"Her common room was close and I thought she'd be more comfortable. She was all delusional. I didn't want to risk anything. Just help her!" I strain up from the sofa to see them. Malfoy's pale skin was slightly redder. He was probably in a rush, but that's hard to believe.
An elderly tall nurse with greying hair and a red and white nurses apparel was accompanying him.

"Calm down Mr.Malfoy. I'll treat her." She says and she approaches me. "Hello, you must be Ms. Roswell, the new girl. I'm going to take a look at your head here. I'm Madam Pomfery."

"I'm just known as the new girl? Ahh well better than Mud-blood." I groan. From the corner of my eye I catch Malfoy roll his eyes.

"Stay still Ms.Roswell." She demands with her stern voice. "It looks like you've got yourself a concussion."
I've never had a concussion before, or any serious injury for that matter.

Madam Pomfery then proceeds to take out her wand and aims it at my gash. "Wh.. what are you doing?"

"Don't worry. I'll just going to heal your wound. It'll be all better in a few seconds." I look around the room. Luna is still here standing behind Madam Pomfery, staring at me. Malfoy's gone, I didn't even hear him leave. He didn't say goodbye...

"Vulnera Sanentur, Vulnera Sanentur." Murmurs the nurse several times while guiding her wand around my wound. To my surprise, the blood begins to disappear. I'm being healed. Healed out of thin air.

"Now, how do you feel?" She asks and puts her wand back into her pocket.

"Better... Just surprised is all."

"You'll get used to it Lily." Says Luna happy and relieved. She comes over and sits down next to me.

"However, I still think it's best to keep you overnight in the infirmary. There's also too many people here. You need rest. Mr. Malfoy, I think it's best you leave to your house."

Malfoy? He's here? I sit up from the sofa and peer around. He's standing in the doorframe of the bedrooms. He looks very out of place, out of comfort. His bottom half is still soaked with water. He didn't waste anytime to get redressed. More surprising he's got my sprawling cat in his arms.

"I thought you had left already..."

"I thought maybe you'd want your cat. But he or she is such a beast, scratching me and hissing."

"You're holding her wrong."

"Be grateful, I'm doing my best here!" He spits and walks over, dropping Cinder onto my lap carelessly. Both Malfoy and Cinder are overly glad to be rid of each other.

"Well, thank you." I cuddle my cat and begin to stroke her.

"Why in the devil do you like such horrible creatures." He sneers scrunching his nose up and glaring at me. It's obvious he isn't an animal person as well as a human person.
