Train Ride
Malfoy squeezes your hand, the green tendrils of magic flowing through his skin. You can hear the Aurors move through the train slowly the stomping of their boots, the throwing of students, almost undignified screeches of students who have been walked in on or who’s cabin doors were forced open. It didn’t take long for you to hear stirring through the wall of the cabin next-door.
Hermione ran into your cabin with a wet towel for you to place upon Malfoy‘ brow, Hermione falls into the spot next to you on the ground.
Soon you could hear Harry saying that he had to go check on you and Hermione, and as he turned the corner to look into your cabin, his eyes met yours “Are you lot alright?” Harry asks, scanning your face.
Hermione answered first “We’re somewhat all right.”
Only then did Harry look around into the cabin, his eyes first drifting to Hermione’s side where Zambini and Nott sat leaning on each other, still passed out from the magic that they were struck with. His eyes then gazed at you and Hermione sitting on the floor and then and only then did he realize that on the other bench someone was laying down. His eyes widen as he realized who you were taking care of Draco Malfoy.
“What are you doing Weaver?” Harry asks.
“His body‘s rejecting the magic.” you respond coolly.
Everyone in the cabin could tell that you were in a work mindset. You were focused on saving your “patient” as Harry’s eyes admired your side profile, glowing eyes focus solely on the one person, glowing eyes, focus solely on someone else. He wished it was him.
Soon Zambini and Nott started stirring.
“Is Draco okay?” Zambini asks sleepily.
“He will be, he seems to be accepting the magic now.” You say.
“What was he hit with Weaver?” Harry asks.
“I don’t know I’ve nev-“ you were cut off by Hermiome.
“It was a tracking spell.” She says very matter of factly.
Zambini and Nott sat up straighter.
“I knew they had plans, I didn’t know they’d act so quickly” Hermione mutters more to herself than anyone else.
You nod along dabbing Malfoys forehead with the wet towel. The magic green fading into his skin.
“You think the Aurors put tracking spells on him?” Harry asks, his eyebrows knit together.
“What did you not get the letter Potter? You don’t know about the changes?” Malfoy tries to sit up and you help him.
“What are you talking about Malfoy?” Harry almost sneers at him. Malfoy was way too close to you for his comfort.
“There was a letter detailing some changes this year.” Zambini starts.
“Like no wands on the train?” Harry asks.
“Yeah and I don’t care to tell you more ask Granger.” Zambini gets up and helps Hermione up.
Nott appears at your side and you take his hand and he helps you up. The two boys lift Malfoys arms and carry him back into their cabin. You sit and before Harry can protest Hermione leads him out to tell the other cabin what’s happening.
When Harry walks away Zambini pokes his head out.
“Say Weaver will Draco be alright?”
“Yes he just needs rest the hard part is over now.” You respond.
They go back into their cabin and close the door. It doesn’t take long for Hermione to return and shut the door.
“It’s going to be a long year.” She says and you can’t help but laugh in agreement.
