Harry, Hermonie and I came running down the bridge to the castle and saw Ron, Neville, Ginny and Luna running down to us.
"How'd you get away?" Hermonie asked.
"Puking Pastilles. It wasn't pretty" Ginny answered.
Ron reached over and handed Hermonie and Harry their wands.
"Told them I was hungry, wanted some sweets. Of course they told me to bugger off and ate the lot themselves." Ron explained.
Hermonie stared in amazement. "That was clever, Ron"
Ron shrugged; "Has been known to happen." He replied casually.
"It was brilliant." Neville said. "So how are we getting to London?" Neville asked.
Harry stayed quiet for a second.
"Look, it's not that I don't appreciate everything you've done, all of you…but I've got you into enough trouble as it is" Harry said as he pushed past them.
"Dumbledore's Army's supposed to be doing something real." Neville said harshly. "Or was that all just words to you?"
Harry turned and stared at us.
"Maybe you don't have to do this all by yourself, mate." Ron said.
Harry looked at all of us and sighed. "So how are we going to get to London?" Harry asked.
Luna smiled; "We fly of course"
I felt bad for everyone except Harry, Luna and myself. The rest of them can't see what they are flying on so I'm sure that they were scared to death as we rode the Thestrials. We flew through dusk until the sun had disappeared and we arrived at the Ministry of Magic.
Once we were inside we ran as fast as we could. We piled into the elevator and headed for the floor of the Department of Mysteries.
We stood inside the elevator for a few seconds. Harry and I stared down the hall and gazed at the door that has been haunting us for months.
Once we stepped out, Harry was the first to speak.
"This is it." Harry began to walk forward towards the door.
We stepped through the door and walked down the aisles of the odd globes we had seen earlier today. Sirius wouldn't be far…
Everyone had their wands out and lit. I was worried because even with their wands lit they wouldn't be able to see as well as I could in the dark still. I concentrated hard on everyone and everything around me ready to protect us all if anything were to happen.
Harry began to walk faster and was panting as he counted the rows. We got closer and closer and I became more anxious by each step.
"Ninety-Five" I heard Harry whisper. I inhaled deeply and looked ahead. I scrunched my brow together. Sirius wasn't there…
Harry looked all over up ahead then turned to us.
"He should be here," Harry stated.
"Harry. It's got your name on it." Neville said.
I turned around and looked at Neville. He was looking up at one of the orbs.
Harry walked back to us and stood next to Neville. Harry reached out and hesitated. He looked back at us nervously.
"Go ahead Harry. I don't sense anything bad" I assured.
Harry turned back and lifted the orb off the shelf. He looked into the misty orb as it began to talk. The orb spoke in a husky scratchy voice and said:
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. And the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal but he shall have power the Dark Lord knows not…for neither can live while the other survives.
I inhaled sharply and sensed we weren't alone.
"Harry!" Hermonie exclaimed.
We looked in front of us to see a Death Eater gracefully and smoothly approaching us. Harry stood in front of us; holding onto the orb.
"Where's Sirius?" Harry asked sharply
"You know, you really should learn to tell the difference between dreams…" the Death Eater began as he pulled out his wand. I flexed my hand prepared to strike as I recognized the voice. "…And reality." The Death Eater finished as he waved his wand in front of his face making his mask disappear.
Lucius Malfoy.
"You saw only what the Dark Lord wanted you to see" Lucius said. "Now, hand me the prophecy" Lucius commanded.
"If you do anything to us, I'll break it" Harry replied sharply.
A shrill laugh pierced the room.
"He knows how to play." A woman said.
We looked behind Lucius and saw a beautiful and dangerous looking woman approaching.
"Itty, bitty baby. Potter" she finished.
"Bellatrix Lestrange" Neville said in disbelief.
"Neville Longbottom is it?" Bellatrix said lightly. She stood next to Lucius; then leaned in and said mockingly and harsh "how's mum and dad?"
I felt Neville's rage as he took a step forward and raised his wand.
"Better, now they're about to be avenged." Neville said in disgust and pointed his wand at Bellatrix. She gasped and raised hers.
Harry blocked Neville and Lucius raised his arms slowly. "Now, let's everybody just calm down…shall we?" Lucius said calmly. Neville and Bellatrix lowered their wands and resumed their stature. "All we want is that prophecy," Lucius explained.
"Why did Voldemort need me to come and get this?" Harry asked in hatred.
"You dare speak his name?" Bellatrix said in shock. "You filthy half-blood!" she yelled.
"It's all right. He's just a curious lad, aren't you?" Lucius assured. "Prophecies can only be retrieved by those about whom they are made. Which is lucky for you, really." Lucius explained.
Slowly more Death Eaters came into view. Everyone raised their wands to be ready. I stiffened and concentrated on the atmosphere to be ready for attack.
"Haven't you always wondered what was the reason for the connection between you and the Dark Lord?" Lucius asked seductively as he and Bellatrix walked closer slowly. "Why he was unable to kill you when you were just an infant? Don't you want to know the secret of your scar?" Lucius asked.
Bellatrix was tapping her wand against her lips and then drew it under her chin and bit her lip in anticipation.
"All the answers are there, Potter, in your hand. All you have to do…is give it to me. Then I can show you everything." Lucius said. Harry looked down at the Prophecy then back to Lucius.
The Death Eaters continued to close in on us as Harry and Lucius remained silent.
"I've waited 14 years," Harry said softly.
Lucius's face twisted in apology, "I know".
"I guess I can wait a little longer. Now!" Harry exclaimed as he stepped back and everyone cursed; "Stupefy!"
The spell hit some, while others either blocked it or flew out of the way. We broke into a run to get out of there. Lucius flew down in front of us when we turned to corner and held out his hand still swirling with a black mist. We turned and ran down another aisle. Luna backed up and turned around to see another Death Eater in the form of the black mist like substance. The Death Eater slapped Luna across the face causing her to fall to the ground.
"Levicorpus" Luna cursed sending the Death Eater flying in the air and back many feet. She stared in awe as she put her wand away.
"Petrificus Totalus" Neville cursed another Death Eater.
"Well done, Neville" Luna said as she pulled on Neville's hand to escape.
Harry, Ron, Hermonie and I came out of one of the aisles once Neville and Luna ran off. Two Death Eaters appeared. One in front of us and another behind.
"Stupefy!" Harry cursed as the Death Eater flew out of the way.
"Stupefy! Stupefy. Stupefy" Hermonie and Ron continued to curse as they ran trying to hit the Death Eater behind them. The Death Eater kept blocking them as he continued their pursuit.
"Stupefy!" Harry cursed as another Death Eater flew next to him. The spell hit him dead on and sent him flying up and into the darkness.
We ran into Luna, Neville and Ginny and were reunited.
We looked down the aisle to see a Death Eater flying down and towards us.
"Reducto!" Ginny cursed hitting the Death Eater with extreme accuracy and power. Light exploded when it collided with the Death Eater. We all stared in amazement then watched as Prophecies on the top of the shelf to the bottom began to fall. They continued in a domino affect towards us. Ron had the look of 'Oh great' on. Luna was closer to the Prophecies then the rest of us. Neville ran up and grabbed Luna's wrist and pulled her back.
"Get back to the door!" Harry yelled.
Everyone ran as fast as they could. I would have run faster but it wouldn't look normal so I held back hoping that it wouldn't be a death sentence.
We pushed through the door and gasped in surprise when there was no floor. We fell through the air and stared at our death coming at us. We were inches from the ground when we froze in the air; then dropped.
"Department of Mysteries. They got that bit right, didn't they?" Ron said as he got up. We looked ahead and saw an archway. In the archway it looked like it was full of water. The surface was wavy and rounded. Whispers were coming from it too.
"The voices. Can you tell what they're saying?" Harry asked as he walked closer to the archway.
Hermonie looked at Ron then to Harry. "There aren't any voices, Harry. Let's get out of here"
"I hear them too," Luna said sweetly.
"As do I." I stated.
"Harry, it's just an empty archway." Hermonie said. Harry, Luna and I remained still and silent. "Please, Harry." Hermonie urged.
Harry turned around and raised his wand. "Get behind me."
We rushed behind Harry and looked up as the others raised their wands. I took Harry's hand and held it tightly afraid that once the Death Eaters appeared I would lose him forever.
Death Eaters were suddenly all over us. They flew through us; each Death Eater grabbing one of us. I soon felt Harry's hand ripped from mine causing me to panic. Harry was on the ground clutching the Prophecy with all his strength. Harry stood up and looked around to see a Death Eater had captured each of us. Bellatrix held Neville tightly by his hair and pulled it causing his face to twist.
A laugh came from in front of Harry. Lucius walked towards Harry.
"Did you actually believe…or were you truly naïve enough to think that children stood a chance against us?" Lucius said as he walked behind Harry then turned to him. "I'll make this simple for you, Potter. Give me the Prophecy now…or watch your friends die." Lucius said coldly holding out his hand. Harry's face went blank as he looked at all of us. He looked to me and I saw the pain in his eyes. My heart broke seeing him in that pain. He turned back to Lucius and stared at him.
"Don't give it to him, Harry" Neville exclaimed.
"Shh!" Bellatrix said as she thrusted her wand against Neville's throat.
Harry looked down at the Prophecy then slowly raised it and placed it in Lucius's hand. He sighed in defeat. Lucius lifted the Prophecy up and inhaled deeply in satisfaction.
A bright light beamed from behind Lucius. Lucius turned to see what it was.
"Get away from my godson" Sirius said as he punched Lucius in the face. Harry and I smiled ecstatically.
White mist figured shapes flew through the archway and landed nearby; while others flew after the Death Eaters. The Prophecy flew into the air and Lucius fell to the ground to grab it but was to far and watched it shatter in front of him.
One of the white mist figures was Tonks, then another was Moody then Shacklebolt; and Lupin appeared after that.
Sirius and Harry hid behind a rock. I saw them as some spells bounced off the rock they were behind. I ran a few steps then leaped across the rest of the way as I landed on one of the Death Eaters. I clasped his shoulders with my fingers and threw him into the brick wall. I growled and looked to the right to see another. I leapt across and leaned back as I kicked him in the face. I landed and turned back to Harry and Sirius. I jumped up and across then landed on top of the rock. I heard them both gasp as they looked up. I smiled down at them as they smiled back. I jumped down and sat on in between Harry and Sirius. Sirius grabbed me as I grabbed Harry; he pulled us from behind the rock as a spell hit it.
"Now, listen to me. Take the others and get out of here." Sirius said to us.
"What? No, I'm staying with you." Harry argued.
"As am I!" I exclaimed in surprise.
"You've done beautifully. Now, let me take it from here." Sirius said calmly.
I stared at Sirius in shock. He looked back at me lovingly and leaned over as he kissed my forehead. I felt the passion and fire sweep through me like it did the last night I saw Sirius. I looked into his eyes as he looked back. I could tell that neither of us would have regretted going farther than we did that night. Harry turned and looked behind the other rock we were hiding behind now. I took this as my chance and pulled Sirius's face to mine as I crashed my lips against his. I had my hand behind his neck and I pulled him as close as I could. He kissed me back deeply. He placed his hand on my cheek as he kissed me. He pulled back and looked me in the eyes. He placed his forehead to mine as he held my hand against his cheek. Tears welled up in my eyes worrying about what might happen to him. He kissed my forehead again. Then let go of my hand. A spell hit above our heads and Harry turned towards Sirius and I.
"Black." Lucius said. We turned to see Lucius pull out his wand. Another Death Eater appeared next to Lucius. Lucius shot a spell at Harry as Sirius leaned over and blocked it. Lucius the other Death Eater, Sirius, Harry and I continued to attack.
I heard Bellatrix's cackle as she flew around the room with one of the Order members chasing her.
Sirius countered the other Death Eaters attack and sent him flying back. Lucius looked over surprised. Harry took the shot.
"Expelliarmus!" Harry cursed; sending one of Lucius's wands flying out of his hand.
"Nice one, James" Sirius exclaimed. Harry and I looked at Sirius smirking at the comment. Sirius shot another spell hitting the other wand out of Lucius's hand. Sirius took a step back and shot his arm forward sending another spell at Lucius. Lucius flew backwards into the wall.
I felt a gush of air from my left and saw a figure appear out of its black mist form.
"Avada Kedavra!" Bellatrix cursed as a bright green light flew across the room. I watched in horror as the light slammed into Sirius's chest. Harry and my eyes went wide in agony and disbelief. Harry looked to see Bellatrix standing on top of a rock staring at us. Harry turned back to Sirius in shock. Sirius looked at Harry then me as the misty substance from the archway reached out and surrounded Sirius. Sirius leaned back some as he closed his eyes and was taken into the archway.
Harry and I stared blankly at the archway. Harry came out of the shock before I did. Harry leaned forward to run into the archway as Lupin ran behind him and held Harry back.
"No! No!" Harry yelled. Harry pulled trying to escape Lupin's hold. Tears fell down Harry's cheeks as he clawed at Lupin's arms. Harry let out an agonizing, heartbroken, despaired scream throughout the room. His scream brought me out of my shock.
Bellatrix was leaning against the wall backing to the door shaking her head, almost looking sad. Then a smile crept over her face and began to laugh. Harry and I looked over at her in pure hate. Bellatrix turned and ran out the door. Harry pushed himself out of Lupin's hold finally and ran after Bellatrix. Once I saw Harry running after her I threw myself into a run after him.
"I killed Sirius Black." Bellatrix cackled through the hall. "You coming to get me?" she mocked to Harry.
"Crucio!" Harry cursed loudly. I stopped in my tracks in total shock. Harry…you just did an unforgivable curse…
I heard Bellatrix yell out in surprise and fell to the ground. She didn't yell in agony…why? Bellatrix flipped over to stare at Harry standing over her his wand close to her face. Bellatrix's bottom lip quivered. I walked over closer to Harry, feeling his hatred, disgust and rage flowing through him. Revenge was begging in every fiber of his being.
I gasped as I felt another wave of cold flow through me. This one was the coldest one yet. I felt myself surrounded by pure evil. The power in me seemed to throb. The monster inside of me grinned as it clawed to get to the surface. I gasped once I realized why this was…Voldemort.
He was here.
"You've got to mean it, Harry. She killed him. She deserves it" I heard his voice say temptingly. Bellatrix looked up in shock and hurt. Harry rolled his head from one side to another as if trying to fight Voldemort's voice from his head. "You know the spell, Harry."
A low hiss sounded and I watched as Voldemort appeared out of some black mist behind Harry.
Bellatrix began to laugh as she saw Voldemort appear.
"Do it." Voldemort commanded.
Harry looked around the spun around as he raised his wand to Voldemort. Voldemort growled as he swung his arm across himself sending Harry's wand across the floor. He smiled at Harry; "so weak." He said coldly. Harry was panting now his anger surging through him.
A green fire erupted in one of the fireplaces as Dumbledore walked out of it. Voldemort's smile disappeared as he stared at Dumbledore.
"It was foolish of you to come here tonight, Tom" Dumbledore said. "The Aurors are on their way."
"By which time I shall be gone, and you…shall be dead" Voldemort said confidently. Voldemort raised his wand as Dumbledore shot Harry back out of the way.
Bellatrix slid into one of the fireplaces and disappeared into a green flame. I ran over to Harry and sat next to him.
He looked at me with wide eyes. "Nicole, are you alright?" Harry asked.
"I'm fine. I think." I replied honestly. Harry looked at me concerned.
"You think?" Harry asked.
"Just him being here…it's making it hard not to…to lose control" I said weakly. It was getting harder the longer I was around him.
"We need to get you out of here then. I don't want you in pain." Harry said hastily.
"No. I can't go. Not yet." I said coldly.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
I turned to see Dumbledore's and Voldemort's wands connecting and fighting for dominance.
"I have some things I need to handle" I replied coldly.
Harry looked at me then to Voldemort then back to me. "No. No way. Not going to happen!" Harry exclaimed in shock.
I turned to him in despair. "Harry, I have to do this. If I don't…it will eat at me forever." I replied.
Voldemort pulled his wand back and blew fire into the air. It took the form of a giant snake. We all stared at it in surprise. Voldemort laughed as the basilisk shaped fire flew down at Dumbledore. I took this as my chance and jumped in front of Dumbledore as I flung my arm from across my body back. The snake screeched back as the flame disappeared. I stared at Voldemort with disgust in my eyes.
"Well. You're a bold one now aren't you?" Voldemort said evilly trying to hide the surprise of the fact that I stopped his spell. I glared at Voldemort not saying anything. Voldemort laughed lightly then stopped when he looked into my eyes. His face went blank then turned into surprise. I looked down then back to Harry and Dumbledore.
"No. It can't really be you…Victoria?" Voldemort asked in shock. I shot my eyes down still in the direction of Harry and Dumbledore. A low growl escaped my lips. I slowly turned my head back to Voldemort still with my head down. I looked up at him with pure hatred in my eyes. Voldemort's eyes went wide. "Well. I never thought I would ever see the day that I would find you. Victoria." Voldemort said evilly. I growled again as I finally spoke to Voldemort.
"You have found me before." I replied darkly. Voldemort looked at me in confusion. "The night you killed Cedric Diggory" I finished flatly. Voldemort continued to stare at me in wonder.
"That was you?" Voldemort said in surprise. I nodded once. "Well, it's a good thing I killed that boy after all I guess. Without his ending you wouldn't have the power running through you now." Voldemort said casually.
I went wide-eyed as I looked at Voldemort in shock. My lips curled back as a growl I felt building in my chest erupted through my lips. I jumped across the room to Voldemort my arms out to kill him. Voldemort raised his wand and threw me into the wall. Parts of the concrete wall broke off as I slammed into it.
Dumbledore took a step towards me. Harry reached out and grabbed Dumbledore's wrist.
"Professor, she has to do this. She is stronger than she looks" Harry said. Dumbledore looked at Harry like he was crazy. "Trust me." Harry said. Dumbledore stepped back and stood next to Harry again.
I sat up, and was on my side as I glared at Voldemort. He smiled lightly as he took a few steps toward me.
"You have so much anger surging through yourself; but you don't act on it…why?" Voldemort questioned.
"Because I want to be a good person, nothing like, you." I spat disgustedly. Voldemort sighed smugly.
"Well you don't always get what you want" Voldemort said coldly. I looked at him in confusion as he reached over and placed his hand across my chest where the Dark Mark scar was.
My chest erupted in pain as I screamed in agony. Voldemort pulled his hand away as a white lightning looking material protruded from my chest, my back arched as he pulled. I continued to scream as he pulled his hand away. The light seemed to snap and my back slumped against the wall as Voldemort grunted as he pulled his hand back the rest of the way. I lay against the cool wall my head to the side my eyes closed. I slowly opened my eyes and was surprised at what I saw. I saw everything. I used to be able to see a lot of what others couldn't but now. Now I could see every detail of everything. I could see the faintest of cracks in the wall; I could see the smallest particle in the fountain. I could make out every single detail of anything I looked at. I placed my hand on the floor as I got up but stopped when I looked at my hand. I gasped to see the black claws back. Black and blue colored designs were on my hands up to my arms. I stood up and turned around to look at my reflection on the wall. I gasped at the look of my face. My eyes were a dark red tinted gold color. My face was as pale as a sheet, my lips were red as rubies and my teeth were blinding white. My hair's brown color now had a red tint in it. I touched my face and it felt like granite; it had luminosity to it too. I turned to stare at Voldemort. He gazed back at me smiling.
"What the hell have you done to me?" I asked my voice sounding demonic and eerie.
Voldemort chuckled. "Brought out what you are meant to be" Voldemort explained.
I shook my head lightly as I glared at Voldemort. "Who says? Who says I get to be something that I don't want to be?" I asked in disgust and shame. "You are what you were said to be. You can't escape your destiny Victoria." Voldemort replied.
I stared at Voldemort with pure hate as I clenched my fists. I curled my lips back as my anger built. It surged through me and entered ever fiber of my being.
"Don't. Ever. Call. Me. That." I said darkly.
Voldemort laughed again. "I don't see why you didn't look for me if I killed the love of your life." Voldemort said cruelly. "I mean I would think that when someone's soul mate is taken from them they would hunt down the person. I was wrong then; you didn't love the boy as much as I thought." Voldemort said coldly.
I froze in utter shock. He…did not…just say…I…don't…love Cedric. I bent my legs and growled as I jumped into the air and flew at Voldemort. He lifted his wand again but I was ready; I made his wand fly out of his hand as I landed on him. He fell back as I pinned him to the ground. I pulled him up as I slammed my head against his. I yelled as I punched him in the face and swiped my claws across him. He lifted his hand and sent me flying off of him. I landed on my feet simply as he got up.
Voldemort chuckled darkly in amusement. "Bit of a temper?" Voldemort mocked as he spit blood from his mouth. I glared at Voldemort then saw his wand not to far off to the side. He followed my stare and saw it. We looked back at each other and were still for a second. I leapt across for his wand as he reached out and it flew to him. I growled in frustration at him. I gazed into his mind and saw his next move. My eyes went wide and I inhaled deeply.
"Crucio!" Voldemort cursed.
Pain erupted throughout my body. My body twitched as if it was being electrocuted. I refused to scream. I grimaced in pain as my body twitched violently. I looked at Harry and saw him staring at me in pain. My heart cringed seeing him in even more pain.
Voldemort lifted his wand causing me to be lifted off the ground. "You're a stubborn one aren't you?" Voldemort said darkly. I glared at him and said nothing. Voldemort lifted his wand a little more than shot me back into the darkness. The floor cracked where I landed on it. I lay on it and turned to my side as I began to sit up.
God. I wish you were here Sirius. I need your help and faith. I said to myself. I turned my head down as tears welled in my eyes. Wait. Sirius. That's it! I got down on all fours as I channeled my power trying to make myself change. They said I would have to most varied power. Let's see if this is one of them. I felt my power prickle throughout my body and shifting. I concentrated harder thinking of only this. I felt my body become more comfortable in this position, like it was normal. My fingers shortened, as did my legs. I watched as my hands and feet turned into thick powerful looking paws. Black hair grew out all over my body. I felt my ears extend and become more in tuned with my surroundings. A few moments later I smiled in amazement at my power. I threw my head back and a howl erupted throughout the room. I tilted my head back down and began to walk back to Voldemort.
I stepped closer slowly. Voldemort squinted in my direction trying to see me. I grinned in pride of him not being able to see me like I could see him. I stepped one paw out into the light. My claws were extended and sparkled in the light. Voldemort took a step back. I placed my other paw out and revealed my head. Voldemort's eyes went wide in shock. I grinned widely at his expression and my teeth shined in the light. I looked over at Harry and saw him looking at me, slightly in fear. My growling smiled slowly faded as I continued to stare at Harry. Harry seemed to understand and his fear began to disappear. I yelped out in pain as Voldemort hit me with another spell. I got up quickly and charged at Voldemort. He threw other spells at me but I dodged them as I increased my speed. I threw all my weight into my charge as I hit him. I then bit into his shoulder. He cried out in pain as we fell to the ground. He punched me across the face and I yelped in surprise. He grabbed me by my throat and slammed me into the wall. Voldemort then pressed on my throat as I pulled on his hand, trying to free myself. He leaned towards me and hissed in excitement. At that moment he threw me to the ground and stepped back as he pointed his wand behind him to some of the pieces of the wall that had broken off. He pointed his wand at me as the concrete flew at me. It slammed into my body with force that actually hurt and knocked the wind out of me. I noticed blood began to appear on me. I stood up weakly as Voldemort appeared next to me. He reached down and grabbed me by my throat. He then lifted me up and threw me up and across the room. I collided with a beam running across the ceiling. My back smacked against it causing parts to fall to the ground. I fell the rest of the way as Harry and Dumbledore watched in horror. I slammed into the ground as the beam's broken shards fell onto me. I lay on the ground and looked over at Harry. Harry stood up in a panic and began to run to me but Dumbledore stopped him. Dumbledore walked over to Voldemort and they began their battle again. I grunted in frustration and fell unconscious.
Luckily I wasn't out for long. I woke to see Voldemort smash all the glass around the room. I stood up slowly as I saw him stop some of it behind him. He raised the glass shards and sent them flying at Harry and Dumbledore. My eyes went wide in horror as I broke into a run towards Harry. I pushed my legs as hard as I could, running faster and faster. I jumped in front of Harry as the shards collided with my body. I heard Harry scream in fear as I did so. I looked back to see Dumbledore turning the glass into fine sand. I looked over at Voldemort weakly. His face twisted in anger and disappeared into a gust of wind. Dumbledore helped Harry up and hugged him.
"Are you alright now, Harry?" Dumbledore asked concerned.
Harry nodded. He didn't want to say anything afraid he might scream.
I whined in pain as I crawled away into the larger part of the room.
Harry turned to me and I felt his worry. "Nicole!" Harry exclaimed as he ran to me.
I continued to crawl into the moonlit part of the room and collapsed. Harry ran and fell beside me. "Oh god. Nicole. Nicole. Nicole, you're going to be ok. You're going to be fine" Harry said in a panic. He pulled me into his lap and looked at his hands now covered in my blood.
"Oh god." Harry said in fear as he gazed over my body. I was grateful that I wasn't in my human form like this it would make it much harder on Harry. Harry saw a large shard inside of my shoulder, he knew I healed quickly; but with so many…neither he nor I was sure I would recover. I whimpered as I stared into Harry's eyes. Harry's eyes filled with tears again as he ran his hand across my snout and down my cheek. "Nicole." He whispered. "Don't leave me. Fight. Stay with me" Harry continued. I grunted in pain feeling the glass in my shoulder. Harry flinched from my pain. I began to feel tired and slowly began to close my eyes. Harry shook me; "No! Don't! Stay with me, Nicole! Come on! Fight! Don't leave me!" Harry shouted. I wanted to fight but my body wouldn't cooperate. My heart began to slow and my breathing soon followed. My eyes felt heavier and heavier. I stared at Harry barely able to keep my eyes open as I lifted my arm. I placed my hand shaped paw on his face. He leaned into it as he cried. I whimpered apologetically. Harry seemed to understand. "No." he said quietly. I smiled slightly and blinked once more till I closed my eyes and my hand fell slowly from his face. I could still hear Harry but my body wouldn't listen.
"No!" I heard Harry scream in agony. "No! Nicole, come back! Wake up!" Harry yelled. I continued to hear him as my heart broke or would have broke if I still existed. Harry's voice seemed to get farther away. Slowly one by one each scream became quieter than the last till; it was nothing but silence. I listened for one more second and I remember no more.
