Magic pt. 7

I probably fell asleep at some point, I wasn't sure. I didn't care. I just sat there and stare at the bed. I didn't notice when lights went off and I didn't notice when someone walked into the room. At some point someone had dragged me into another bed next to Draco. I lied on my side and stared at his perfect body, he didn't move. Suddenly I heard someone calling me, loud.
“Ann! Bloody hell, answer me!” The voice shouted and I snapped out from my numbness.
“W-w-w-w-hat?” I stammered quietly.
“We found something!” Blaise cried out and tried to get me out off the bed.
“Y-y-you did?!” I suddenly understood.
“Yes! You need to move. We are going to try counter spell now!” He ordered and Vicky helped me up.
“Come. They need us to leave now. It's some kind of stunning spell, similar to Avada, but not killing. Still it's very lethal.” She whispered and dragged me out from the room.
“W-w-what is Avada?” I asked confused.
“It's the killing curse.” Ginny answered and gave me a coffee mug. “You look like you need that.”
“T-t-thanks.” I muttered and took a sip from my coffee. “There's ginger in it.” I whispered.
“Yeah, and it's extra strong.” She beamed and I gave her a weak smile.
“You need to eat something.” Vicky worried and leaded me to the cafeteria. The same witch was there again and offered me some special pancakes and a huge plate of broccoli soup. We sat quietly by the window while I ate my soup. I didn't even realize how hungry I was.
“Thank you so much to both of you.” I said hesitantly after Id finished my huge dinner.
“That's what friends are for Ann.” Vicky smiled and hugged me.
“I haven't ever seen Draco so happy as he is with you. I have to say, that I even like him nowadays... a lot! Though he is Slytherin.” Ginny giggled and I smiled.
“And I'm muggle... He has changed, hasn't he?” I said and both of them nodded.
“Oh, I forgot. Here's some clean clothes... I went to get them for you, if you don't mind. I thought you might want to clean up a bit. There's a shower next to Draco's room.” Ginny smiled and offered me a plastic bag full of my clothes.
“Thanks! I really could use some shower...” I said and wrinkled my nose. Both of them laughed.
“I have a feeling that he will be alright.” Vicky said suddenly.
“I've dine lot of good luck spells and I also did one for Hermione...” Ginny admitted and I smiled for them.
“You are awesome!” I whispered and started to cry.
“Friends, remember?” Ginny said and hugged me.
“Yeah.” I gasped and felt Vicky's arms around us. We sat there a while and then I headed to take the very needed shower. After the shower and some clean pair of jeans and my soft grey hoodie I felt much better. I combed my light brown hair into a messy bun and left the bathroom a bit braver and happier. I took a deep breath and stepped into Draco's room. Hermione was there with Harry and Blaise measuring his heart beats. She looked calm and confident.
“Hey...” I said hesitantly.
“Oh, Ann! He is okay! Look! He is sleeping! He should be awake in couple of hours.” She beamed and I smiled. “Harry and Blaise found the spell or at least what it was like, so we managed to save him.”
“Oh... Oh...Thank you!” I cried out and rushed to hug her. She looked a bit embarrassed first, but then wrapped her arms around me and smiled.
“Harry and Blaise helped.” She reminded me and I beamed at them. I took Draco's arm and kissed his palm.
“You're going to be ok hun. I love you.” I whispered and suddenly I was alone in the room. I kissed his lips and felt the air coming through his lips. I kissed him again and suddenly he was responding. First I felt his lips move a bit and then a weak squeeze in my hand. “Draco?” I whispered and slowly he opened his grey eyes and stared at me.
“Ann...” He said quietly and I felt tears falling from my eyes.
“Draco... You're alive...I really thought that I lost you. Thank Merlin and Morgana, you're alive. I love you.” I whispered kissing him gently again.
“I love you too...” He said weakly and smiled lightly. “Could you get me some water, love?” He asked then.
“Of course.” I answered and looked at him lovingly.
“You look tired.” He said.
“I haven't slept much... I've been here the whole time.” I admitted.
“I'm sorry...” He mumbled.
“Don't. Just focus on getting better, ok?” I said and kissed him again and went to get the water. I rushed back as fast as could and found all our friends around him. I helped him drink while Ginny made the bed more comfortable for him to sit up.
“Stop fussing. I'm ok.” Draco growled when all of them were asking questions if his head hurt or if he was tired. I stood back and waited. “Ann?” He called me and I moved next to him while the others silently left the room.
“Hi.” I said and rested my chin on the edge of the bed.
“Hi. You cannot imagine how good it is to be able to look at you again and feel you near.” He whispered.
“I can. I missed your voice and your hands and your lips...” I whispered and he brushed my cheek gently with his fingers.
“Merlin, I will not ever go on these field tasks again.” He said and sighed.
“You have to... I mean, if...” I started but his familiar Malfoy smirk stopped my babbling.
“No I don't. Minister asked me to take the place as a supervisor. Like head of the department and aurors. I was going to tell you and others after Yule, but then this came up.” He beamed and I held my breath.
“Oh...Draco...Wow! That's great, right?!” I ensured and smiled widely.
“Yes. No more field work.” He said in a smug tone.
“Great!” I cried out and kissed him fiercely.
“Ann... ouch...” He laughed and I pulled back in horror.
“Oh no... Sorry! I didn't... are you ok?!” I panicked.
“Yes. Just a bit headache.” He amused and wrapped his arms around me. The door opened quietly and Hermione came in. She stood there and looked a bit uneasy.
“So... Since you're awake you should eat something Malfoy.” She said in a low voice.
“Herm.. What the fuck? What are you doing here?” Draco snarled and I wrapped his arm.
“Draco... She was the one to take care of you and one of the healers who saved you. Please, let the past go and be thankful for her being around. Ok?” I begged and his eyes melted when they met mine.
“So food then. When I'm able to leave this place?” He asked wryly.
“Tomorrow... But you'll need a wheelchair and some mild Skele-Gro potion with you.” She answered quietly and nodded at me. “And then bed rest for a week. After that you can go to work, but you cannot do anything reckless or something out there.”
“Ok. What's there to eat?” He asked looking at me.
“I'm not sure... I can always grab you something from some place else...” I offered but couldn't finish my sentence when Blaise stormed in with two large pizzas.
“Pizza guattro formaggio and tuna with garlic.” He grinned and Draco smiled.
“Great!” He beamed and Hermione vanished quietly through the door.
“I'll be right back.” I whispered to Draco's ear and hugged Blaise while heading out after Hermione.
I rushed after the bushy brown haired witch who strode forward fiercely. “Hermione!” I called after her. She stopped and turned around, she was crying.
“What?! I told you that he hates me!” She shrieked.
“I'm sorry... He really is an ass right now, but I know that he is grateful for what you did for him and for me. Please, give him some time.” I explained.
“I guess I'll just have to accept that then.” She sobbed.
“I'm sorry...” I whispered and hugged her.
“I'm ok. Go to him. He needs you. I'll check on you in the morning.” She said quietly and left. I stood there a while and then headed back to Draco's room.
“Everything ok, love?” Draco asked when I came back.
“Yeah. Hermione just took it quite bad. You were an ass, sorry, but really.” I said and took a slice of pizza.
“She is the one who cheated.” He reminded me wryly.
“I know. She was still doing her job here and saved your life. Please show some humanity and respect.” I hissed and glanced at Blaise who raised his eyebrows.
“She's right, sorry man.” He agreed.
“Fuck. Now I have to suck up my ex? Bloody hell I won't.” He growled and I glared at him.
“Stubborn.” I mumbled and took a huge bite from my slice.
“Yes, very.” He said and focused on his pizza.
“I mean why can't you...” I started, but his angry hiss made me stop.
“Ann! Drop it! I mean it!”
“Whoah...” I sighed and rolled my eyes.
“Do.Not.Start.” He warned me.
“I won't. I still don't get you.” I said.
“I told you to give it a rest!” He snarled.
“Ann, please.” Blaise warned and glanced at me.
“Ok! Gosh...” I sighed.
“Back to normal I assume.” Blaise smirked finally and I rolled my eyes.
“Yes.” Draco said and took another slice of pizza.
“Who was the stubborn here...” I mumbled and Draco glared at me.
“Ok, enough! You two should be cuddling and not shooting daggers at each others.” Blaise amused and I showed him my tongue.
“Sorry. Ann, please?” Draco begged with a soft voice looking at me with his amazing grey eyes.
“Hmph... You're impossible!” I whined and still couldn't hide my smile. He was so adorable and damn hot. “Fine.”
“That's my girl.” He smirked and I tucked my tongue out again.
“She's spicy.” Blaise pointed out.
“Yes. And that's why I love her.” Draco said gently and smiled at me.
“And she's standing here.” I reminded and grimaced. Our argument was interrupted when Vicky stormed in with Ginny on her heels. Harry stepped behind them a bit calmer.
“Oh, good, you're eating.” Vicky smiled and showed us a box of cupcakes.
“Lucky cupcakes?” I guessed.
“Yes. The lady from the cafeteria insisted.” She beamed.
“I want the blackberry one! And the cinnamon for the patient.” I announced and smirked.
“Yes ma'am.” Vicky laughed and handed us the delicious goods.
“Let's see...” I mumbled and took a bite. “Passion and love, it says.” I said satisfied.
“I bet, they'll say all that.” Ginny whined and I grinned.
“Passion and love.” Draco announced and turned his eyes on me. I kissed him softly.
“Marriage.” Vicky gasped and looked at Blaise who gulped.
“Marriage...” He said quietly and Draco laughed.
“Children.” Ginny announced and Harry smiled widely.
“Same here.”
“Interesting... So, when is the date?” I teased Blaise, who glared at me.

We ate the cupcakes in silence and then all of them said good night to us and left. I decided to sleep without my hoodie and jeans and crawled under the sheets of my bed, which had appeared next to Draco's again.
“Good night, love.” He whispered softly and I yawned.
“Sweet dreams.” I whispered and fell asleep. The hospital bed wasn't the most pleasant one, but I wasn't going to leave until I got to get him with me.

Draco didn't love the wheelchair much as I already assumed, so I was trying to make his journey back home as pleasant as possible. We were obliged to take a taxi back to the manor and he whined all the way.
“C'mon, it's only a few minutes. Are you planning on being grumpy all the time?” I asked a bit irritated,
“Yes, if I get bored.” He amused and I sighed.
“Then I'll have to figure out some way to keep you satisfied.” I said quietly.
“I know couple of things...” He murmured and bit my earlobe.
“You know the rules; no rough movements. It means no sex.” I announced and he glared at me.
“Cruel.” He hissed.
“A bit... But, I'll find a way to keep you satisfied.” I smirked and his smile was like an angel's again.”I missed that smile.” I whispered and kissed him.
“I missed you.” He said softly, and smiled when the taxi finally drove front of the manor. “Home sweet home.”
“Need some help, or are you able to stand?” Taxi driver asked.
“I'm fine.” Draco said wryly. He really hated all the fussing around him. Slowly he got out from the car, gave his muggle credit card to the driver and sat down on the wheelchair. I pushed him inside and he charmed the chair so that it moved him where he wanted to.
“I hate this.” He said after a while. “I hate being so helpless here. I'm not used to it.”
“I know... But you'll be on your feet soon.” I said and hugged him.
“And I can't stand being near you without feeling you close. If you know what I mean..” He sighed.
“I know that too.” I said and kissed him gently. “You need to take your Skele-Gro...”
“Whoah. Ok then.” He gasped and rolled his eyes in frustration.
