I think I'm in Love With a Malfoy

Chapter 20 - Surprise! Guess what?

Lily's POV

I woke up to muffled voices all around me. My eyelids felt groggy and my head throbbed like hell. I slowly turned my head to find a surprised face right infront of me.

"Arghh!" I yelped and shot straight up suddenly, colliding with the person.

"Ouch! Jeez Lily-" she muttered rubbing her forehead. "If you're not careful, you're gonna land me in one of these beds as well."

I blinked a couple of times before my blurry gaze focused in on Roxy sitting on the edge of my bed. One second, where was I anyway?

As if my mind was being read at that exact moment a new voice joined in the conversation.

"You're in the Durmstrang medical centre. You hit your head pretty hard when you fainted." Scorpius was leaning against one of the windows, his eyes were looking out toward the snowy mountains outside as he spoke. My heart started beating rapidly, I wanted him to come over, but then again, I was grateful he kept the distance. It would be easier for me this way.

"How long was I out for?" I wondered aloud.

Again Scorpius was the one to answer. "Couple of days, it took you longer than it should to wake up. No one knows why. The Durmstrang nurse gave you all sorts of potions but you still didn't wake up." Just the thought that Lorcan had now been dead for two days made me feel sick again.

"We were getting really worried." Added Roxy, rather sincerely, which was odd for her.

"I feel exhausted." I said, I really did...I just wanted to cuddle this pillow and dream of to sleep again. Forget about the hardships of life. And death.

"Nuh-uh! You just had two days in bed! I haven't been able to talk to anyone! You better stay awake this time." Roxy said, lightly slapping my cheeks to keep me awake. "Every time I came up to see you I had to put up with the likes of him for company," she said tilting her head toward Scorpius. "I don't think he's left this place the entire two days."

I couldn't help the smile that crossed my face as the thought that he'd spent the whole time by my side. I glanced toward him and for the first time since I'd awoke he looked me in the eyes. His normally piercing silvery blue eyes looked weary and I could see traces of bags under his eyes from where he obviously hadn't had much sleep. Don't get me wrong though, he was still the most gorgeous boy I'd ever seen in my life.

"You've been here the whole time?" I almost whispered, too shocked for words.

He smiled sheepishly, "I wanted to make sure you were okay..."

"Scor-"

I was interrupted by the door that opened from the other side of the room and in came a rush of people, lead by Xavier, who was closely followed by Jake. I couldn't help but wonder if they had hit it off.

"Lily! You are awake. This is great news!" cried Xavier, in his thick European accent. I smiled weakly at him. But I couldn't help but think to myself, what if I never got over this? I'll never get married...never have children!

This made me feel even more sick.

I spied Albus out of the corner of my eye talking to Scorpius who was looking very apologetic, this made me smile for real, and the sickness eased up. This was good...maybe they could be friends again. Maybe Scorpius and I could be friends after a while. After I had gotten over him.
