Silently Screaming For Help

|Chapter 74 : A Warmer Home|

"What happened to your hand?" Draco asked quietly from beside me as he took ahold of my right hand, looking at the bruising and cuts across my skin as I peered at it

"Death Eater stood on my hand. I think my fingers are broken" I mumbled amused as I flicked my wand, my bones pushing back into place as he dropped my hand and I started laughing

"That didn't feel right"

"How do you think I felt? It was my hand" I told him laughing as I shook my head before flexing my fingers and stretching my wrist, everything feeling normal again while I reached around and I pulled the other wand from my pocket, turning it over in my hand as I looked at it, roughly carved wood with what looked like a skull carved into the handle

"It looks like mahogany, doesn't it?"

"It does, sort of. Can I?"

"Go for it" I said to him before passing him it as he turned it over in his hands

"Do you know what the last spell was?"

"The killing curse-"

"What?" Draco hissed as he stared at me wide eyed as I nodded, turning slightly as I showed him the burn in the side of my jumper as he stared at it, slightly pale in the face

"... Were you hit?"

"Do you think I was?" I asked laughing as he glanced at me and I looked back down to my jumper

"Please don't laugh when you say that"

"Sorry, I just... Yeah" I mumbled as I looked back to him as we fell quiet and I turned away after a moment, my face growing warm as I sat there with a growing confusion

"Oh, here. I don't know what you're going to do with it" he said quietly as he passed me the wand back as I tucked it away with a nod of thanks as we fell quiet again

"Only a week"

"Only a week?"

"Until we're back at Hogwarts"

"Well I can tell that you're just ecstatic about going back"

"I'm glad it's obvious" he said quietly as I started laughing, rolling my eyes at him as he sat with a smirk before I poked his knee

"What was that all about?"

"You have boney knees"

"And you don't?" He asked laughing as he poked mine and I started laughing before nudging him as he shoved me back and my laughter got louder as I turned to him

"That got so violent!"

"You nudged me so I-"

"So you shoved me" I laughed as he nodded with an amused look as I glanced down

"Wait a minute"

"What?"

"Draco Malfoy is sitting on the ground, nothing to put between him and the ground. I never thought I'd see the day he'd be acting like a camping muggle-"
