Emma lay unconscious at the bottom of the Astronomy stairs. Following a vicious battle with a death eater she had lost her balance and plummeted down the cold stone stairs; landing in a heap. Emma had no clue to what had happened downstairs. The seventeen year old's eyes fluttered slightly but that was the only life like movement. Her brown hair fell over her eyes as the pale moonlight floated through the window.
The Great Hall erupted into cheers and laughter as Voldemort fell down dead; killed by the Potter twins Harry and Edward.
Edward let out a sigh of relief as he heard the people around him cheering and shouting with happiness, he never thought he had the power within him to kill the darkest wizard of all time. He slowly lowered his wand replacing it into his pocket. Eddie's dark green eyes surveyed the smiling faces that looked back at him. He was looking for one face in particular; his girlfriend Emma. He was extremely worried about her and was desperate to see her.
'You did it! You killed him!' Ron yelled happily as Eddie felt someone patting him on the back.
Eddie nodded, he couldn't help but let a smile cross his face, 'Not just me you know' he replied as he nodded his head in Harry's direction who was too busy trying to calm Ginny down. 'Have you seen Emma?' he asked a flash of fear crossed his face.
Ron shook his head, 'I haven't seen her since the battle began' he replied sadly.
Eddie heard his name been called and he turned around, hoping it was Emma. He smile faded slightly when he realised that it was only his mother.
'Eddie! Are you alright?' his mother asked as she hugged him tightly.
'Mum, I'm fine' he said trying to sound as reassuring as he could, Lily slowly let go of Eddie and smiled. 'Mum, have you seen Emma?' he asked knowing his mum liked her very much.
'Not recenently, is she alright ... last time I saw her she was fighting Lucious Malfoy at the top of the Astronomy stairs' she replied hoping she was okay. Eddie would be heartbroken if anything had happened to her.
'Thanks mum!' he called as he practically ran out of the Great Hall. He didn't care about the stares he was getting from the people around him.He rushed up the main staircase as fast as he could. Using the secret passages he quickly made his way to the seventh floor where the Astronomy stairs where he searched desperalty. Finally turning a corner he reached the stairs.
'Emma' he whispered as he saw her laying at the bottom of the stairs. He rushed over to her kneeling down he gently moved a her hair back from her face, 'come on love, wake up' he said quietly as he checked her pulse, letting out a sigh of relief when he felt the faint beat beneth his fingers.
