*Elizabeth*
R.H.D: Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed the last chapter!
Jeod: *slumped in a corner* I didn't, I wasn't even in it... And this chapter makes me look like a pretty boy.
Elizabeth: *rolls eyes* that's because you are a pretty boy.
Draco: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
R.H.D: Shut up, Draco. Your time is over *hits him over the head*
anyway... I made up the house song and it's on youtube! (well i think it is.. im not sure if i put it up yet...:S)
Enjoy!
The feeling of Draco moving his hand in her's was what woke Elizabeth up. "Liza..." he whispered. "Liza... you should go,"
She had brought him do the infirmary right when she realized that he was unconscious yesterday, and he had been there ever since. It was a freak thing, no warning. One minute they were lip locked and the next, he was babbling about shadows and yellow eyes. She had sat by him every second, trying to help Madam Pomfrey wake him up in any way she could. She just wanted her Draco back. She had been sleeping by his side when he finally woke up, his body shaking horribly.
It was heart breaking when the first thing he said to her was "you should go."
"D-Draco? Are you alright, love?" she asked. His eyes seemed crazed and they darted back and forth as if looking for something. His hands were shaking in her's and when he noticed this he quickly snatched them away.
"Elizabeth, please... leave and get my brother," his voice was strained and he wouldn't glance her way.
Her lip trembled against her will. No, Beth! she thought. He doesn't want to see you right now, deal with it. Just let him cope. "O-okay. I'll get him," she stood up and smiled at him. She bent down to kiss him on the forehead and he moved his head away.
"I'm glad you're alright," she said, her voice cracking. What was that look in his eyes?... is Draco afraid of me?
XxX
Elizabeth ran through the halls, searching for Jeod. She checked the library, the dungeons, and Hagrid's hut. Jeod was no where to be found. Damn it Jeod, she thought, where are you?
She stopped by the commons, even though he was rarely there and was bombarded by loud guitar music. Jeod was surrounded by a group of first year girls and was singing to them. Lover boy, she thought and laughed despite her situation. She stood by the door and watched as he sang the Slytherin house song.
Slytherin, vipers, serpents, and snakes
venom, poison, make your knees quake
Slytherin agile, Slytherin sly
Slytherin strikes and weaker ones die
Fearless leader, Snape is our guide
Win the House Cup, Slytherin's try
serpents strangle, vipers strike
Griffondors will not win the fight!
Slytherin, vipers, serpents, and snakes
Slytherin pride make Slytherins WAKE
There was show of him bowing and all of the girls laughing and giggling. Elizabeth clapped the loudest in the room and he smiled, walking up to her.
"The House song, cover by Jeod Arnald," he said bowing in front of her. She raised and eyebrow at him and chuckled.
"That was cute..." she sighed and frowned. "Draco wants you... now," she said taking his hand and walking with him back to the infirmary.
"He's awake?" Jeod exclaimed, trying to keep up with Elizabeth as she started to run.
"Yes, and the first thing he said was that he wanted me to go get you," she stopped short of the hospital wing. She gave Jeod an exasperated look and he pulled her into a hug.
"Are you okay, Beth?" he asked. "He's been blowing you off a lot," she cringed at his touch. He was rubbing his hand up and down her back, trying to sooth her and it wasn't helping at all.
"No, Jeod. I'm fine," she sighed again and stepped away from him. "Draco needs his space... I think there's something wrong with him. Something happened to him when he blacked out, Jeod." she said, her brain working over time trying to figure it out. Jeod looked concerned at her, nodded, and walked over to the infirmary door.
"Jeod!" Elizabeth called him back. He raised an eyebrow at her. "Save my dragon... I love him to much to lose him," she watched Jeod's face scrunch up into a twisted frown.
"I'll try, but if I can't... I'm always here for you," he smiled at her and she smiled back.
"Just try," she said. He rolled his eyes at her and disappeared into the infirmary.
The next day they had a trip to Hogsmeade. Elizabeth looked everywhere for her boyfriend, but according to Jeod, he was supposed to be kept in the hospital until the next day. He seemed distracted while he talked to her, there was something wrong with everyone today.
Elizabeth decided to forget about it all and hang out with her brother. She'd been seeing so little of him lately and everything had been so chaotic that she hadn't been paying attention to him. He didn't look well at all, like he hadn't been sleeping very much at all. He almost had the same paranoid look that Draco had when he woke up.
"Harry, are you alright?" she asked him as they passed Zonko's Joke Shop. Hermione and Ron had told her a few weeks prior that they wanted Harry to teach everyone Defense Against the Dark Arts, they just hadn't told Harry. She was supposed to be helping them break the news to him, along with a whole group of students that wanted to be properly taught.
"Yeah, Elizabeth. I'm just fine," he sighed. Elizabeth gave him a look that said "no you're not, spit it out." he pleaded her with his eyes and she lamented... for now.
"Well I guess we're here,"Hermione said from behind them. They stopped in front of Hogshead. The tavern looked like a dirty version of Three Broomsticks. Not at all the place where students should hang out, but totally the place fro a secret meeting.
Elizabeth and Harry went to save a table while Hermione talked to the owner. Ron was going to see if he could get something foe them to drink.
"Alright, brother, spill your guts," Elizabeth said. Harry looked at her in disbelief.
"You've only known me for three years, and you seem to understand me more than I understand myself... Who is that?" he asked. She put a hand on his and forced him to look at her.
"Harry, you're avoiding the question," she said gently. "Is it..." she pointed to his forehead and he nodded. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asked.
"You're never around, Elizabeth!" he exclaimed then looked down. "Draco isn't the only one that misses you (assuming that he even does),"
"I'm sorry, Harry," Elizabeth said sincerely, hugging her brother. "You know what? I'm going to be the first one to join your class to make it up to you," she smiled than smacked herself on the forehead.
Harry gave her a confused look. "What class... What the bloody class are you talking about?" He said this to Hermione when she came back. She was followed by Ron, Jeod, Luna Lovegood, Cho Chang, Ginny holding hands with Michael Corner (to Harry's dismay), Fred and George, and about twelve other students walked into the tavern. They were all looking a bit skeptical, but excited nonetheless.
"Harry," Hermione said, "Umbridge isn't a good professor. Not by a long shot," she she said this Elizabeth saw Harry glance at her hand. Her scars had opened up again from the last detention she had with that retched woman.
"Damn straight," Elizabeth muttered under her breath as the room erupted into murmurs of agreement.
"But you happen to be the only one of us who has had actual experience with Dark Magic. You've been able to escape it countless times," Hermione continued.
"So, we thought, 'Who better to teach us about Defense Against the Dark Arts than my brother?' Case closed," Elizabeth said proudly. She was beaming at Harry who looked more skeptical than anyone else in the room.
"I-I don't know guys," Harry said. "Half of the things I've done, I don't even know how I've done it," he looked helpless. "I mean, it was a life or death situation that drove me to survive,"
"Harry," Elizabeth looked straight at her brother, forcing him to look back at her. "I believe in you. Everyone here, believe's in you," she looked around the room and saw that everyone was smiling at Harry. "You're the only one fit for the job. I mean I would do it, But I don't have an insane killer after me," she heard a few laughs and that seemed to butter Harry up.
"Alright I'll do it.. But where will I be able to teach? Umbridge has the school secure up the wazoo," he said. Everyone was lining up to sign a paper that Hermione had thought up. It was hexed so who ever told about the secret organization, we would know.
"Well that's easy," Luna said suprising everyone. "Use the Room of Requirement. I can show you where it is," Leave it to Luna to come up with a solution when no one's watching, Elizabeth thought and gave Luna a thumbs up, her friend blushed.
"What are we going to name this club?" Fred asked. A few agreements went through the crowd and everyone strated thinking.
"Dumbledore's Army," Jeod said out of the blue. Elizabeth gave him a surprised look and he shrugged. "It seems appropriate. We're fighting to keep up the morals and practices that Dumbledore brought up in the school for years. Why the hell not?" everyone gave him an odd look. It was true, that was exactly what they were doing. Who knew that Jeod was that smart? Elizabeth thought. Apparently Hermione did, she was sitting in the corner fuming because she hadn't thought of that herself.
"I like it," Harry smiled. "It's settled," he raised his butterbeer glass ina toast. "To Dumbledore's Army!" everyone echoed him and they clinked glasses. Alls well that ends well.
P.S. Michael Corner was Ginny's boyfriend in the Order of Phoenix and then he becomes Cho's boyfriend at the end of the book.
