Who: Daphne, and whoever decides to show up to visit
When: Late afternoon, after classes
Where: In the infirmary
Why: Because Daphne is rather amusing when she's high on painkilling potions
Rating: PG, due to a character being high, but legally so because it's for medicinal reasons
(
Nothing like roughly 30 hours of unconsciousness to leave one feeling well-rested )

There was no point to knocking so he just walked in, slowing as he approached her bed. She looked... well... sort of dazed. As if she was off in la-la-land somewhere. It might have been the effect of a painkilling potion, Draco'd had that happen once or twice before.
"Daph?" he inquired tentatively, tapping his fingernails on the metal foot of her bed to get her attention. "Hello."

"You're talking to my feet," she declared with a small laugh.

Actually... that was a great idea. Good thing Daphne was too out of it to notice how wicked his smile suddenly turned.
"Well, you have such beautiful feet," he said easily. "Are you feeling better? I heard that idiotic oaf Hagrid sicced one of his pets on you. This really is getting ridiculous, I'm sure even without my father to pull strings, we could get him sacked for this."

Hagrid getting sacked...for the first few seconds, she couldn't actually think as to how this would get him sacked, but then her ability to reason things out returned.
"Well, Dumbledore's not around to protect him anymore," she mused. "So it'd be a good way to test the Gryffindor Conspiracy. And if Dumbledore managed to use mass-scale mind control on people without using the Imperius curse, because the blind could see that Hagrid's not fit to teach. I mean, he didn't even graduate."
Daphne nodded seriously, then added, "Definitely mass-scale mind control. Yes."

"Very glad to have company," she replied, giving Pansy a hug in return. "It's boring here, Pans. How long was I unconscious? Have I missed dinner yet?"

"I feel tingly," she declared cheerfully. "How are you, Lovegood?"

"Hagrid sent me along to wish you well on the mend and apologise for Melvin's behaviour," Luna explained, "now that you are awake."

"Melvin needs to be apologized for," she said with a nod when Luna explained her presence. "Melvin's a git who beats up on small girls not even a quarter his size."
