Chapter 9 - An Epiphany Maya, Skye, Vera, and Freya were walking back to their common rooms, admiring their new trophy. Vera had experienced anything that challenging since the time when Lucius taught her and Draco nonverbal spells. “That was incredible Vera! The way you caught the golden snitch.” Skye was over the moon. “Thanks Skye! I just hope Draco gets out of the hospital wing soon.” Vera said. “Want to go check on him?” Skye asked. “Count me out.” Amaya grimaced. “Yeah.” Freya agreed with Amaya, “See you both at dinner.” “How bad is it?” Vera asked Draco as she sat on the edge of his bed in the hospital wing. It didn’t feel like she’d won the games, now that she was here. All she felt was guilt, she should have tried harder to keep him out of trouble. “Is that a look of genuine concern on your face, or am I dreaming?” Draco joked, laughing a little, then wincing. “You tell me.” Vera returned it, “but seriously, how bad is it?” “It’s not much, really. Just a few broken bones and a concussion.” Vera remembered his fall, how the bludger had flown straight at him and he’d plummeted 30 feet to the ground. It was then that Vera finally realized for the first time, that she genuinely did care about her brother and about what happened to him. Draco must have just realized the same thing in himself and reached for Vera’s hand. “You know, you’re not so bad.” Draco said. “Neither are you.” Vera smiled. “I think you’re my favorite sister.” “I’m your only sister.” “Even more reason.” Draco smiled, then slipped into a peaceful sleep. A tear of happiness slipped out of Vera’s eye as she got up and went back over to Skye, who was waiting for her by the door. “Thank you, Skye.” Vera hugged her friend. She knew how much Skye must have wanted to go over to them, seeing as Draco was her friend, but she let Vera and Draco have a moment instead. Vera had never and would never have a better friend than her. <3
