True Love Sa13+ Go YANKEES!!!
Don't know if it's any good. U guys tell me. Chapter 25:In The Hospital Wing
Hagrid brought Draco and Narcissa to the Hospital Wing and Madam Pomfrey couldn't believe her eyes. Draco was her most seen patient ever. Both Malfoys were in pretty bad shape. Hagrid knew all about Ginny's relationship with Draco, and Harry, Hermione, and Ron's new found friendship with him also. He headed right for their common room, after being dismissed by Madam Pomfrey so she could get to work. Since he was Gamekeeper at Hogwarts, Hagrid knew all the common room passwords. Plus, he was a Gryffindor before. Ginny was still waiting for Draco's return in the common room. She loved Draco so much that she didn't care how long she waited for him. Ginny had been waiting for Draco for 10 hours!! Ron, Harry, and Hermione stood up all night waiting with her. They were truely concerned for Draco's well-being. All was quiet in their common room because it was 1 o'clock in the morning. Everyone was asleep, and Ginny, Ron, Harry, and Hermione just kept waiting in the common room with their p.j.'s on. Hermione got up to give Ginny some tissues for her tears when the portrait door opened up. To their surprise it was Hagrid. Ginny got up so quickly, you would have never guessed she was shattered beyong belief. "Is it Draco? Please tell me he's alright." Ginny said nervously knowing that Hagrid couldn't be here for a social hour. Hagrid looked at them with a concerned face underneath all that beard. "I found Draco and his mother unconscious near the Great Hall. There in the Hospital Wing now." Hagrid said. (I know that's not how Hagrid talks, but I've honestly never paid much attention to how he talks.) Ginny's jaw dropped in shock, then snapped out of it and ran out of there quickly. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Hagrid weren't far behind. For a giant, Hagrid could surprisenly ran fast. When Ginny reached the Hospital Wing, Madam Pomfrey was nowhere to be seen. She was clearly still working on the Malfoys. Ginny didn't care about anything much right now, all she was concerned about was Draco's well-being. Ginny pulled aside a curtain, and it turned out it was the patient she was looking for. She just followed her gut feeling. Ginny walked up slowly to Draco's bed. Even she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Draco's once handsome face was covered with too many black and blues to count. His lips were swollen, and his nose looked broken again. "Oh my God." She managed to whisper. Then out of nowhere, Madam Pomfrey came back to check up on Draco. "Oh my, you startled me Ms. Weasley. Now, I'm sorry Ms. Weasley, but you need to wait outside while I finish with Mr. Malfoy." Madam pomfrey said both strictly and kindly. Ginny forced herself to do as she was told. Madam Pomfrey closed the curtain once again. Ginny just stood there, staring at the curtain intensely, as if trying to see through it with X-Ray vision. (lol, sry I just love Superman, if u haven't already noticed my siggy.) Since it was very late, the castle was dead silent. Ginny heard Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Hagrid's loud footsteps a mile away. She turned around to look at the door-way just as they entered still running. They were all breathing heavyly, trying to catch their breaths. "How...is....he...?" Hermione said as she continued to try and catch her breath. Ginny turned away from them and looked back at the curtain. "I don't know. I only saw him for a few seconds." Ginny said sadly, as she tried not to cry. "He has to be okay. He just has to be." Harry said as he looked Ginny right in the eyes. Ron nodded in agreement. Then they all heard the sound of the curtain being moved and they turned their attention to Madam Pomfrey. She had a very worried expression on her face. "What is it?" Ginny asked worried. "Mr. Malfoy has been through a great ordeal. He will recover smoothly, he just needs lots of rest." She replied. They all breathed a sigh of relief. "And Mrs. Malfoy?" Ginny asked curiously. She didn't know Draco's mother very well, but was concerned about her, for she was going to be her Mother-In-Law someday. "Mrs. Malfoy is in worser shape than Mr. Malfoy. It appears that she was being starved, and held against her will. I discovered circle marks around her ankles that could only be made from magical binds. She may be here longer than Mr. Malfoy." Madam Pomfrey said sadly. Madam Pomfrey was once hurt by an abusive husband herself, so it troubled her to see Mrs. Malfoy in her condition. "That's horrible." Hermione replied sincerely. "I never thought Lucius could be that much of a monster." Ron said angryly. "Lucky you found them when you did Hagrid." Harry said as he looked at Hagrid. Ginny noticed that Madam Pomfrey still had a worried expression on her face. "Is there anything else Madam Pomfrey?" Ginny asked. "Well, before you all arrived, I was informed that The Ministry Of Magic discovered Lucius Malfoy's body at Malfoy Manor." Madam Pomfrey said uncomfortabley. Ginny let out a shriek of horror and disbelief. Hermione's jaw dropped. Harry and Ron were just trying to comprehend what they had just heard. Hagrid looked both shocked and alittle happy. Lucius Malfoy was always cruel and rude to him. "I'm afraid we will not know what happened at Malfoy Manor until Mr. Malfoy, or Mrs. Malfoy awakens." Madam Pomfrey said seriously. Ginny looked at her as if asking her something without even opening up her mouth to speak. "Yes Ms. Weasley. You may go in and see him now. But please, one visitor at a time." She said with a tiny smile.
