Draco & Astoria
WHO: Draco Malfoy & Astoria Greengrass
WHAT: Watching over the sick and wounded.
WHERE: Infirmary part of the centre.
WHEN: Backdated to after Pansy's death on Day Five.
RATING: PG (again, triggers)
Draco was trying really, really hard not to think about the Battle at Hogwarts. Like he told Neville via the journal, comparing the two would just weigh them down when there was work to be done. Draco hadn't fought yet. He helped evacuate the castle and aided in moving some of the ill out of centre, but he hadn't faced a monster. He was bloody terrified to do so. The screams and smells were bad enough, but he heard the faces were worse. Granted, he was of use in centre, but as their numbers dwindled, Draco prepared to draw his wand. He was a capable wizard. He proved so many wrong time and again, but murder still eluded him. Monsters were different than humans. Maybe he'd succeed. He had to try. Godric sacrificed himself. Jamie. Even Pansy put herself at risk for a damn cat.
Now she was dead. The emotions overwhelmed him. She was one of his closest friends. She knew him so well, even when he hadn't known himself. Maybe they hadn't been meant to be together forever, but Draco now believed they were meant to be family forever. The real world didn't matter then. He lived in the village. His conscious thought was here and he had no Pansy. No Godric. Dennis was gone.
He left Ernie's bedside long enough to splash his face. He needed to focus. Regroup.
