The next day, Harry, Ron, Hazel, Rain, and Maggie were walking down the hall.

"I can't help it if she's got her knickers in a twist" Ron said honestly, "what lLav and I have, let's just say, there's no stopping it. It's chemical "he said, Hazel, on the other hand thought that it was rather strange.

But meanwhile, at Slughorn's Christmas party, Harry, Maggie, Hazel and Rain were heading in, and of course Flynn and Luna were also attending, Hermione, well, she was trying to steer clear of Cormac. Because he didn't know she had a girlfriend.

As Harry and Maggie pass the stairwell, they didn't recognize Draco and Illy sitting there alone.

"Draco, I'm supposed to be at the party" she says

"Shut up, deal with it" he retorts, deep down, he didn't wanna do this either.

He places a green apple inside the vanishing cabinet.

He starts chanting, "harmonia nectere passus" multiple times, though Illy was distracted, and secretly snuck off back to the party.

The apple was gone, he closed it again, and continued his chants.

Then, there the apple was, but there was a bite taken from it.

~ 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘱 ~

Harry, Maggie, Hazel and Rain spotted Hermione at the party.

"Hermione, what are you doing? And what happened to you?"

"No, I've just escaped. I mean, I left Cormac under the mistletoe"

"Cormac? You invited him?"

"No he followed me and said he was my date and got in anyway. I have had enough of him"

"Oh god, here he comes" she says snacking on dragon tartare's

"I think she just went to powder her nose" Maggie said

"Slippery little mix, your friend. Likes to work her mouth too, doesn't she?" Cormac said

"Yes, she sure does" Maggie accidentally slipped, "I mean, I don't know-"

He stares at her, "what is this I'm eating by the way?"

"Dragon balls" Hazel smiles

Severus appears, then Cormac vomits on his shoes.

"Oh come on, Harry" Maggie says

"You've just bought yourself a months detention, McLaggen" he said , "not so quick, Potters"

Then he proceeded on giving them a message about Dumbledore you know , the usual stuff.

Then Draco and Filch barged in, for whatever reason, Willow sighs, and stops their conversation with Flynn and Luna.

"Just discovered this boy lurking in an upstairs corridor. Claims to be have been invited to your party"

"Okay, okay, I was gatecrashing. Happy?" 

Willow sighs, but their father steps up

"I'll, escort him out" Severus says, Willow secretly follows

"Certainly, Professor"

Outside, in the dark corridors, 

"Maybe I did hex that bell girl, maybe I didn't. What's it to you?" Draco said

He was pushed against the wall, but on the other side,  Willow sat quietly, listening in.

"I swore to protect you. I made the unbreakable vow."

"I don't need protection!" He said, "I was chosen for this. Out of all others. Me. And I won't fail him"

"You're afraid, Draco" he says, "you contempt to conceal it, but it's obvious. Let me assist you"

"No! You don't know what else he's asking me to do!" He said, though, he already revealed too much. Severus didn't know what he was talking about, but, why didn't he know about it?

"I was chosen, this is my moment!"

A circle of fire sets the Weasleys home ablaze, as death eaters swoop in. Bella running away, Harry, being Harry, following. 

"Harry, no!" Mr. Weasley shouts

Remus goes after him, as he always does.

Then, Maggie stepped forward, in her robe, Hazel followed behind her.

"Maggie! Hazel!" Aspen yelled 

Hermione stayed with them, comforting them.

Rain followed, "Hazel!" He shouted 

Bellatrix ran through the fields, shouting the same thing she always is.

"I killed Sirius black! I killed Sirius black! You coming to get me?!"

Harry and Hazel ran after her.

"Harry, Hazel, can you get me? You coming to get me?"

Maggie follows behind, panting.

Eventually, the running stops.

Maggie meets greyback. Then Harry comes and saves the day as Hazel also arrives. Rain, was stuck somewhere in the fields. 

Remus and Tonks meet, Rain close behind.

Maggie, Harry and Hazel are trying to fight off Bella, she disappears.

The house is destroyed, the house falls down, with everything they knew and loved, gone.

Aspen sobs, Hermione hugging them tightly.

They lost everything.

After Salem finished vomiting about lavender and Ron's relationship, she headed back to the Ravenclaw dorms.

Meanwhile, Harry tried perusing Slughorn into telling his memory, the  real story, but yet, nothing.

He arrived back to the dorm, Ron was, well, he looked high 

"It's beautiful, isn't it? DA MOON" he said 

"Devine. Had ourselves a little late night snack, did we?" 

"It was on your bed, the box. I just thought I'd try one."

"Or 20"

"I can't stop thinking about her, Harry"

"Honestly, I reckoned she was annoying you"

"She could never annoy me" Ron said, "I think I love her"

"Well, brilliant!" 

Ron's face was all droopy and heart eyes galore

"Do you think she knows i exist?"

"Well, I hope so, she's been snogging you for the past three months" Harry said

"Snogging? Who are you talking about?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Romilda, of course. Romilda Vane"

"Okay, very funny" he started picking up wrappers but Ron smacked him

"What was that  for?"  Harry said

"It's no joke! I'm in love with her!"

"Alright, fine you're in love with her. Have you ever actually met her?"

"No, could you introduce me?"

Harry grabs Hazel and Maggie as the try to bring him to Slughorn, as he is literally not in a state to be alone.

He starts hugging Slughorn, Harry bribes him away.

Then he starts apologizing about earlier, you know what I mean, about Voldemort.

Ron fell off the couch, Maggie snorted and put him back.

Ron faints, "Ron!" Maggie shouted

He started convulsing, shaking vigorously on the ground 

"What the hell is happening?" Maggie shouted

"I don't know!" Harry shouted back

He was choking, on his own spit , Slughorn was not doing anything, Harry rummages through the drawers and finds something to help him, but he was motionless on the ground as Maggie and hazel cried.

After a few long seconds, Ron eventually started spitting up.

"These girls, they're gonna kill me" he said, he ain't wrong though

In the hospital wing, Maggie, Hazel, Rain, Salem, Hermione and Blake stood by his bedside.

"Quick thinking on your part, Harry, using a bezoar" 

Lavender rushed in.

"Where is he? Where my won won? Is he asking for me?"

Salem vomited mentally, as so did the rest of the kids.

"What's she doing here?"

"I might ask you the same question!"

"I happen to be his girlfriend!" Lavender fought

"And I happen to be his- friend" Salem said

The bickering only continues.

"See? He senses my presence" 

"Do not worry, Won Won, I'm here"

He speaks gibberish for a second 

"S-Salem" Ron says weakly

Lavender realizes, and runs away crying as Maggie was gonna burst into laughter

As Harry was walking up stairs, through the wall, eh could see the Malfoy  twins walking up the other set of stairs. Intrigued, he pipes up interest.

Draco, went to take one of the birds, from the cages in the corridors.

Harry follows close behind, but sees nothing.

As he opens the vanishing cabinet, he places the bird inside.

"Draco, this isn't a good idea, that's a living thing!"

"Shut up! I don't want to hear your complaints. You are supposed to do what I say. That's the rules. Now shut up"

In Borgin and Burkes, the bird chirps curiously, but then, it's silent.

He opens it again, and there is the bird. Dead. Illy sobs, she knew this would happen. 

Draco was shocked though. He didn't think tha-

"You fucking bitch! I told you this would happen, you're such a stupid idiot, Draco! So fucking stupid!" she sobs, running away, towards another part of the room.

Draco's face stiffened, but, it wasn't a good thing. He felt, guilty. Ashamed. Angry. Sad. 

He sobbed, though nobody has ever heard Draco Malfoy cry, except his sister. Which that would be the first time she ever heard him cry.

~ 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘱 ~

Atlas and Katie were chatting, Harry kept ask in her questions about the day of the necklace, she couldn't remember though. But then, Malfoy appeared behind him. And he looked guilty. And he started running away.

Harry, being Harry, chased him, and willow, who was observing, followed slowly behind him, just in case.

His breath heavy, panting, he sobbed into the sinks, he tried to scrub it off. 

"I know what you did, Malfoy! You hexed her, didn't you?"

He turns around, stunned, shaking, still trying to stop crying.

He threw a hex at Harry. Well, now shits gonna get bad.

He threw them back. Underneath the bathroom stalls, over them.

The bathroom started flooding with water due to a pipe being burst, then...

"Sectumsempra!"

Draco groaned and then fell to the ground. Harry hasn't realized what the damage of the spell was yet, but then he heard a blood curdling scream.

It was Willow.

Draco was gasping vigorously, sobbing as blood seeped through his white shirt faster than he could breathe.

They stood there, shock, horror. Yes, they absolutely hated Draco at the moment. But that didn't mean they didn't love him. Because that would be a lie.

They rushed to his side, crying, it seemed Draco recognized the person, as his vision was starting to go hazy, from the amount of blood loss.

"W- Willow?" He sobbed

"Draco, I'm here, it's okay" they sobbed, holding him

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" They yelled at Harry

"I-I didn't-"

"GET HELP BEFORE I HEX YOU!" They screamed, sobbing as blood kept seeping through Draco's shirt, he was in between consciousness and unconscious now.

Snape arrived, seeing Willow on the floor.

"Daddy, help" they sobbed

He began chanting words, and the blood flowed back into his body from the water, where it was mixed with tears and shame.

He was unconscious now, but Willow stayed by his side. Holding his hand.

~ 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘱 ~

"You never know what you'll find up here" Maggie smiles, Harry and her were hiding the book, for good this time.

She took it from him. 

"Close your eyes" she says

She walks away, going to hide the book

But then, he felt her lips on his 

He opened his eyes, "That can stay hidden up here too, if you like" she smiles

He laughs, smiling at her. He knew what he wanted. And that was her.

And only her.

~ 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘱 ~

"Still no luck with Slughorn, I take it" Ron says

"Luck. That's it. All I need is a bit of luck" he says

He drank it, Hazel, Hermione, Ron and Maggie sat there

"How do you feel?"

"Excellent!" she says "remember, Slughorn usually eats early, takes a walk, and then returns to his office" Hermione says

"Right. I'm going down to Hagrid's" he said

"What?" Hazel asked

"No, Harry, you got to go and speak to Slughorn!" Hermione said

"I know, but, I've got a really good feeling, about Hagrid's. I feel, it's, it's the place to be tonight, do you know what I mean?"

"No" hazel, Hermione, Ron and Maggie said all at the same time confused

"Well, trust me, I know what I'm doing, or, Felix does" Harry says

"Hi!" He says energetically to the people entering the common room 

He finds Slughorn stealing plants from the greenhouse on the way to Hagrid's

Slughorn grunts.

"Sorry, should've announced myself"

They talk, but you know... he's a bit suspicious 

"How did you get out of the castle, Harry?"

"Through the front doors, sir. I'm off to visit Hagrid, he's a very dear friend and I just fancied paying him a visit. So if you don't mind, I will be going now"

"HaRrY!"

"SiR?" He mocked

"It's nearly nightfall I can't let you go alone"

"Then by all means, come along sir" he said walking to Hagrid's.
