Draco's Apology
Draco had been in the hospital wing for about a week now and each day I would go visit him after lunch, even though he was sleeping most of the time.
Today I was waiting outside of the hospital wing for him to wake up, I had no luck before but next thing you know, I saw him getting up to get water.
”Hey Malfoy.” I said, as I walked in towards his bed.
”Well look who it is, I didn’t expect you to be here Potter.” He replied.
“Neither did I.” I said, as I sat down on the chair next to his bed.
”Well go on, what are you here for?” He replied, going back to his bed.
”I just wanted to see if you were okay.” I said.
”Oh really? You aren’t here to lecture me?” He asked.
”Well, also that.” I exclaimed.
”You do realize that he deserved it, right?” He breathed, as I just sighed.
”For hanging out with me? I can hang out with whoever I want, you don’t need to get mad if I choose them over you. I think you should apologize.” I muttered.
”Apologize? Are you mad??” He blurted.
”Well you have to admit, that was the wrong thing to say to him.” I told him.
”Yeah but-“He started, but I cut him off by saying, “No buts, if you want me to still be friends with you, then you’re gonna have to apologize.” I sighed.
”You’re joking right?” He exclaimed.
”Nope.” I muttered.
”Fine,” He sighed “but only if you start to hang out with us again.”
”Alright, deal.” I said, as we both shook hands.

A few days passed until he was finally out of the hospital wing for good, so I went to go find him in the Great Hall.
I looked towards the Slytherin table as I entered and I saw him sitting next to some other Slytherins, so I went up to him.
”Draco,” I started, as he realized what I was there for, “you promised.”
”Do I have to?” He whined.
“Yes, remember our deal” I stated.
”Fine, fine I’ll do it.” He hesitated at first, but then got up. So we both walked over to the Hufflepuff table.
Right before we got there, he stopped me and said, “No way am I doing it in front of all of those Hufflepuffs.”
”But-,” I said, then he interrupted me by saying “nope it’s either outside alone or I won’t do it at all.”
”Fine.” I said, knowing that it was a long shot after all.
So, I went up to Thomas and told him to come meet us outside.
“You and Malfoy?” He said, looking at the both of us, as I nodded. “No way am I talking to him.” Then I heard Draco scoff.
“Look, just trust me.” I said, he was hesitant but eventually got up.
So, then we all walked out to the hallway and once we found a quiet spot we stopped walking.
”Okay, what’s up?” Thomas asked.
“Well, Draco has something to say to you.” I said, as I looked over to Draco who was trying to avoid eye contact.
“Look, I am sorry for saying what I did,” Draco started, even though he then mumbled under his breath saying “even though you deserved it.”
And with that, I kicked him in the shin.
”Bloody-!” He said, but I cut him off by saying. “What he’s trying to say is that he is sorry for making fun of your dad. Right, Draco?” I asked, making him a face.
”Yeah, I guess.” He said.
”Ok, is that all?” Thomas asked.
”Yeah, I think so?” I exclaimed, then looked towards Draco while he just nodded.
”Alright.” Thomas said, then walked back into the Great Hall.
”See, that wasn’t so bad was it?” I mumbled.
”That was bloody horrible, if he ever tells anyone, I won’t hesitate to kill him.” He said, as I just shook my head and said, “There won’t be any killing, that’s for sure.” Then we both walked back into the Great Hall.
