In your world

Chapter 44.

After that night Draco did her homework without telling his friend, still, they were not talking with each other a lot in front of other Slytherins, but Draco always make time for her, trying to take care of her, he also didn't tell Cedric about her detention, every night after detention they always find him in the same corridor where they saw him the first night with medicine, he applied the medicine not only her hand but also Harry hand because Mira offered Harry to help for applying medicine on his hand but Draco didn't like that so he took that task to himself and help Harry for medicine applying on his hand, the first time when he offered Harry help Harry was confused and horrified by his action, he never thought he ever going to see Draco Malfoy himself helping him, but right now that happening.

Their's third detention passed in the same way as the previous two, except that after two hours the words "I must not tell lies" did not fade from the back of their hand, but remained scratched there, oozing droplets of blood. The pause in the pointed quill's scratching made Professor Umbridge look up. "Ah," she said softly, moving around her desk to examine their hands herself. "Good. That ought to serve as a reminder to you both, oughtn't it? You may leave for tonight."

Mira took her bag and stand to leave when she heard Harry ask Umbridge "Do I still have to come back tomorrow?", picking up his schoolbag with his left hand rather than his smarting right. "Oh yes," said Professor Umbridge, smiling widely as before. "Yes, I think we can etch the message a little deeper with another evening's work."

Then they exit her office "She's evil," Harry muttered when they turned to the other corridor Mira laugh a little and said "definitely she is" she took the handkerchief from her bag and start whipping blood from her hand, Harry looked at her action then glance at his own bloody hand and asked, "where is Malfoy?"

"She leaves us earlier...this time," said Mira without looking at him, again she put her hand in her bag and get a pouch from her bad and handed Harry "here some medicals supplies" she looked at Harry with a small smile "Draco gave me for emergency"

"I never imagine him caring about someone, especially a... muggle-born," said Harry to her looking at the medical bag in his hand, Mira smiled at that but didn't say anything,

"Take medicine and apply too," said Mira after a few minutes of silence "I have homework to do"

"OH! yeah"

Next day
It was a free period on the grounds of Hogwarts, and Mira was taking advantage of the rare opportunity to practice her magic. Cedric watched with amusement, thinking back to how he had believed her to be so weak when it came to performing spells. But looking at her now, she proved him wrong. She was able to use her wand to cast spell after spell with surprising effectiveness. While most of her work was intricate and correct, he noticed her making a few mistakes here and there, as if she was losing control for a moment. But in the next breath, she looked as if she was perfectly in control again, so he just watched her silently while flipping a page in his book to make it seem like he was also reading. Whenever their eyes met, he would offer a reassuring and encouraging smile, letting her know that there was someone who had confidence in her abilities.

From a short distance, Draco watched them, his curiosity piqued. Mira and Cedric watched as Draco approached them. Despite their weariness from being in the Forbidden Forest, they couldn't help but feel slightly intrigued by the interaction between the three of them.

"So you both having fun?" Draco asked with a slight smirk on his face.

Mira and Cedric looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. "Um, yeah, kind of" Cedric said with a sly grin on his face.

"Where have you been?" Mira said, her face contorted with a combination of concern and curiosity.

“Umbridge called a few prefects up to her office for a discussion,” Draco replied, shrugging and running a hand through his hair.
