12| The Blood Message

Y/N POV

Everyone gathered around a flooded corridor. There was a message written on the corridor wall, in blood. If there was one thing I feared the most, it was blood. How could someone write that message using blood? How creepy.

"Enemies of the heir beware!" Draco read.

I was standing behind him, looking down the whole time. I had no good feeling about this.

"You'll be next, mudbloods!" he yelled.

"Draco!" I protested.

"Sorry, it slipped out," he whispered.

Suddenly, the Hogwarts caretaker, Mr Filch came and accused Harry of murdering his cat, Mrs Norris.

"I'll kill ya, I'll kill ya!" He screamed.

A thought hit my mind. If the cat was dead, did it mean the blood on the wall was from the cat? Just by thinking about it had made me felt the goosebumps. Why would someone murder a cat? It was just an innocent animal.

"Why are you pulling my ro–"

"Hey Y/N, are you okay?" Draco shook me lightly.

"Not so good, can we go back now?"

"Yeah, Dumbledore has also just told us to go back."

We followed our prefects to go back to our dormitory. Draco held my hand while we walked to the dorm, following the prefects. I kept thinking about the blood message. Whoever it was, they used a lot of blood to write it. Ugh, I wanted to throw up.

We had transfiguration class with McGonagall. I had always loved this class. We were learning how to transform animals into water goblets today. The spell was Vera Verto.

We hadn't even reached half of the class period when Hermione asked about the Chamber of Secrets to McGonagall.

She told us a story about the founder of Hogwarts. One of the founders, Salazar Slytherin refused to teach muggle-born and decided to leave Hogwarts. He sealed the Chamber of Secrets before leaving and only the true heir of Slytherin could open the Chamber. Once the Chamber was opened, bad things would happen. Especially to muggle-borns.

Even though I was 100% a pure-blood, the story still scared me. Probably because I was worried that they would get Hermione. I had never wanted to go back home so bad.

•••

I didn't understand the way Hogwarts chose to handle a crisis. Shouldn't we be like going back home by now? Dumbledore had his own plan I guessed, cause we were having a bloody Quidditch match now.

It was Slytherin vs Gryffindor all over again. But this year, Draco was in the Slytherin's team. This Quidditch match just stressed me out even more.

"Relax Y/N. I'm the one who's gonna be in the match" Draco laughed.

"I can't. Why are we having this match right now? What if someone tries opening the chamber while everyone's here watching the game?!" I panicked.

"Why can't we just go back home and come back here when Hogwarts is actually safe for children?" I asked.

"Come on Y/N, go to your seat. The match is going to start soon," he begged.

"Fine."

I walked away, but stopped midtrack and turned around to call him.

"Good luck Draco!" I shouted. He smiled and waved goodbye. I quickly went to the Quidditch tower with the other Slytherins.

Everyone was very excited. People cheered for Slytherin around me while I couldn't stop thinking about thousands of bad things that could happen while we were here watching this stupid game.

"Watch out!" Someone pulled me to the back as Harry flew through our tower at high speed followed by the bludger.

"Oh, Lord. That was close," I gasped.

"Um...thank you..?"

"Oh, it is Blaise Zabini. We're actually in the same house," he laughed awkwardly while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Sorry, I don't really pay attention to my housemates. Anyway, thank you for that, Blaise. I could've died if you didn't pull me in time," I smiled.

"Ah, don't mention it."

"What were you thinking anyway?" He asked.

I didn't know what to say. I mean we just met and he wanted to know what I was thinking straight away?

"Oh sorry, it's okay if you don't wanna talk about it," he said probably noticing the look that I gave him.

I smiled at him before returning to my original place to watch the game. Draco and Harry were chasing the snitch aggressively.

"Yeah! Catch the snitch Draco!" Pansy screamed.

This girl was so pathetic. Draco had rejected her several times yet she kept doing the exact same thing over and over again. Sometimes I pitied her but when I remembered how she treated me, I always thought she deserved the attitude from Draco.

I ignored Pansy and focused my eyes on those two boys. The bludger was still chasing Harry. Then they flew into the downside of the towers.

A few moments later Draco came out of the downside, being thrown in the air and fell to the ground. I saw the pain in his eyes when he landed. I immediately grabbed Vincent and Greg to leave the tower.

"Harry Potter has caught the snitch! Gryffindor wins!"

We ran to Draco as fast as we could. Some people, including Hermione, were surrounding Harry who unfortunately also got injured while catching the stupid snitch.

No one was there with Draco. Were they blind? Was it only Harry that mattered just because of his stupid scar?

"Someone is also injured here!" I yelled as I approached Draco with Vincent and Greg.

I watched Draco opened his mouth, trying to speak to me.

"No, don't talk."

"If you would've just listened to me. For Merlin's sake! This is why I hate Quidditch," I cried while wiping away some tears.

"What's wrong with you two? Our friend is probably going to die!" I cried as I hit Vincent and Greg on their arms.

"Y/N...I'm not dying," Draco spoke.

Snape came to approach us. He brought Draco with the help of some random people to the hospital wing. At least the head of our house still cared about his student.

Madam Pomfrey treated him immediately because fortunately, Harry came later than us. Draco was still whimpering in pain. What was she doing to him? Wasn't it suppose to cure him?

"Oh Mr Malfoy, stop making such a fuss. You can go," she said before rushing to Harry who had lost his bone, thanks to that idiot Lockhart.

Hermione was also there. She looked away as soon as our eyes met. I thought we were friends.

"Let's get out of here Draco. They treated people based on biased feeling here," I said helping him to get up. Vincent and Greg helped him to walk.

"Perhaps I should tell my parents about the service here, even my house-elves can treat people better," I spat as we left the hospital wing.

Pansy welcomed us as we entered the common room. She hugged Draco in front of me, Vincent and Greg. It wasn't a friendly hug. She liked Draco.

Somehow, I felt uncomfortable watching this disgusting scene in front of me. Probably because I had been pissed all day and just tired of everything that happened today.

"Get off!"
