Chapter 11

Icarus pushed his way through a bunch of students crowding around the hostipal wing.

"I heard someone is dead." whispered Potter to Elwood.

"it was a raven claw, saw the robes but I didn't manage to see who." murmured a girl to her chubby friend.

Icarus pushed his way over to a familiar face, looking grim.

"What happened? Who's dead?" Black asked him.

"I don't know but by the hair I'd say it was a girl and she was one of ours." Tristan said grimly.

"Icarus Black." called Professor Roadan. "I need you to watch the girls friends, while I go with Professor Dippet to see the child's parents. Everyone else return to your houses." Icarus nodded numbly, not sure how he was suppose to act.

"Sir?" The Professor turned to look at him. "Who died?"

"Myrtle." Icarus cringed as Roadan pushed him through the door.

Inside he found the three girls. They were sitting up together on the floor. He could feel his heart racing looking at them. Bella was in the middle with either girl on her side. Frida was asleep, she had her head resting on Annabella's leg. On her other side Greta was staring at the titles, eyes red roar from were she had rubbed them. Her head rested on Bella's shoulder. Sensing him in the room Annabella looked up at him. He felt his insides shatter looking at her, the silver stream of tears slowly following down her face. Greta noticed the shift in Annabella's gaze, looking up, she pulled away letting Bella out, taking her place as Frida pillow.

Annabella crossed the room slowly stoping a foot short off Icarus. Before he realised what he was doing his hand wiped away the tear falling down her face.

"Anna." He whispered not trusting his own voice to stay steady. He tugged her into him, hugging her tightly as she silently cried on his shoulder.

Greta stood back, students shot her mournful glances. Nobody had spoken to her since Myrtle's death. It was the trio now, and Icarus. But somewhere along the path, something had broken, they weren't the same anymore. Funny, Greta never thought Myrtle was the one holding them together, but now she had passed on they were all falling apart.

Frida barely left the medic wing, Annabella spent her time arguing and snipping at Icarus refusing to realise she was as in love with him, as he was with her. And Greta, she had decided to find the person responsible for killing their friend. She felt at the pity of her stomach that it was her fault Myrtle had died, after all she was looking for her. The guilt was slowly eating Greta away, the acts had lessoned but they hadn't stopped. There was no longer a single muggle-born in the whole of Hogwarts, no Hufflepuffs, and barely an Gryffindors. The Ravenclaws were dwindling down, taking all the knew attacks. Greta had been watching and listening closely to everything going on in Hogwarts, lost in her own little world.

After everything that had happened you would think Roadan would of let up on the detentions but no. Annabella scrubbed the armour, before throughing the rag down angrily. Icarus wouldn't quit looking at her and it was driving her insane.

"What's wrong?" Icarus stopped crossing the hall.

"You! Will you stop staring at me!" She snapped. He smirked watching her closely. He shook his head.

"Never."

" Why not?" she growled.

" I thought I was obvious, but if I have to spell it out for you, fine, I am in love you." Annabella froze. For the first time in all the years he had know she looked nervous, he smiled.

"This is stupid! Your so stupid!" She yelled chucking her rag at him. He growled pinning her against the wall.

"Anna." He asked questioningly, she blushed ever so slightly.

"Let go off me Black!" She hissed.

He smiled. " No." He leant forward and kiss her. As he pulled back slightly, trying to read the strange look on her face, fear he decided, she suddenly ducked under his arm, running off down the hall and around the corner. Angrily he kicked the wall before deciding to follow her. He smashed into Riddle as he rounded the corner.

"Watch where you are going Black." Snarled Tom.

" You watch where your going, Riddle, do you have any idea who I am? What pain my family could cause you." Hissed Icarus. Tom didn't realise it was only a empty threat, taking a step back.

" You should watch your mouth Black." Growled Riddle, his eyes glaring cold as ice.

"Whatever Thomas."

" It's Riddle too you." Icarus snorted.

"If you say so Tommy boy." Black snapped pushing pass.

Annabella wasn't in the common room when he finally got to the tower.

"Your too late now." Greta gave him an annoyed look. He rolled his eyes.

"Bloody Riddle blocked me in front of the girls bathroom. Stupid twit."

"I don't think he's knocked up." Black gave her a strange look.

" A twit is a pregnant fish." Icarus raised his eyebrow at her.

" Your too late tonight, don't worry she'll wake up soon. Myrtle's death has rocked all off us, more so then I think Anna can handle. She doesn't do feelings too well, anger, no problem anything more complicated confuses her, don't worry, she will get it before the end."

"Get what?" Icarus stared at her.

Greta grinned. "that you are her happily ever after, prince charming." She laughed at his expression.

"Night, Gretal." he teased her back heading up the stairs.

Greta sighed, she wished they stop dancing around each other and get it over with, it was getting painful.

Icarus stormed around the castle, in a particular foul mood. He was doing a solo prefect night round, Kelvin had ditched him to do…well Icarus didn't want to know. Anna had been avoiding him. It was bugging him, why did she run? She had kissed him back, he was sure but then why was she being like this?

He turned the corner , looking down at the wet floor, he saw something move in the reflection….

Because I have written 11 chapters and only have four reviews, I know theres a fair few mistakes, but is it that bad? Shakes her head. I was planning on this having a sequeal but I don't think I can be bothered now.
