Chapter 10

The first week of classes had come and gone and I was starting to get into a routine of classes homework and free time. Sadly there wasn't much free time and Draco and I still hadn't talked of the kiss but we did end up being paired as partners for each class so at least we did get to talk about something. I think that both of us enjoyed the distraction of homework because it was less awkward that way, and neither of us seemed to want to bring up the kiss or any type of relationship other than friendship.

One night I was sitting in a corner of the library trying to finish some essays before the weekend so that I would be able to go to Hogsmeade without worrying about my homework. I heard light footsteps coming toward me and I took a hold of my wand but around the corner came my favorite blonds, Draco and Abby who also had a tray of something which they set on the table in front of me.

"Snack time" said Abby I laughed and looked at my watch and realized I had missed supper.

"Thank you I was trying to finish theses so that I could have some fun this weekend, I guess I lost track of time."

"Can I go to Hogsmeade with you Mi?"

"I'm sorry it's only for 3rd years and up but I promise to bring you back something and I'm sure Josh will too."

"And so will I because we know Myna won't bring you back candy."

"Yay! Ok well i'm going to go back to my dorm and finish some of my homework too. Goodnight Mi and Draco."

"Goodnight"

we watched her go and Draco said "Cute kid! Do you need some help?"

"Yea all I have left is this Arithmancy, I understand it but I'm missing something because its not translating right."

he looked at it and after a few minutes he pointed at something "This is Wrong I did the same thing it's a simple mistake though."

he helped me finish my translation and we packed up my things and sat for awhile so I could eat.

He looked at me and then placed a spell around us he said "you know about my father and that he serves the Dark Lord."

I nodded "I have been asked to become a spy for the Order. I have the perfect positioning for it the dark lord is very interested in you and he already knows that I am growing close to you. He has his spies in the school and Dumbledore needs another spy in his ranks. The war is coming soon and I want to play my part in hopefully defeating this nutcase."

I nodded to him again but I didn't know what to say I wanted him to fight for the light side but I also knew being a spy was dangerous, but I also knew that we needed more spies. I just really didn't want to see him hurt.

"Are you going to say anything?"

"I know you want to do your part and I support you in that."

"But?"

"But I don't want you to get hurt."

"You know better than anyone that I have already been hurt because of that psycho path, I know what I need to do and I already have the means to protect myself and the ones I love."

I decided not to comment on his last words because I knew he didn't want me to.

I looked up into his eyes and said "Please be careful." we heard a scream coming from the hall and we grabbed our things and took off, but what we saw when we got there was not something we wanted to see.

Abby was lying on the floor with a huge bruise across her face and a gash in her arm but that wasn't the worst of it from her blood there was a message written on the wall

'Her blood is only the first of the Mudbloods to be spilt. The Dark Lord wants the Rose Phoenix.'

I ran to Abby and made sure she was still breathing. I turned to the girl who found her and told her to get Dumbledore and asked Madame Prince to stay here. With that I picked up Abby and ran as fast as I could to the hospital wing. Draco went and Got Madame Pomfrey while I sat Abby down on a bed. They made their way over to me and Madam Pomfrey checked her out.

"She has lost a lot of blood and that's a nasty bruise but she will be fine."

Dumbledore walked in and he made his way over to us with the girl whom he said "Poppy this girl needs a calming draught."

he came over to us with a sad look "They didn't kill her why is that?"

"Because this was just a warning, Miss Snape will you come with me. Mr. Malfoy I believe Professor Snape would like to see you about an assignment you turned in."

with that I was led to Dumbledore's office to an unknown future once again.
