I know this one's a little late but here it is! I am currently having a bit of writes block on the chapter I am working on which don't worry it's awhile's away but gahh! lol Fair warning this isn't going to be a happily ever after quickly. It'll take time and patience. So bare with me my fellow readers!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter! Only Nava Digory Smith. The Oc. :]

Enjoy!

With a loud crack they reappeared behind a tree. She pushed Draco behind it and they stood there in silence for a bit trying not to make a noise. The tracker that she had placed on Ron had led her to the same snowy area she was once at before.

"Nava, bloody he…"

Nava quickly covered Draco's mouth and glared at him.

"Shhh!" She pursed her lips and put her finger to it as she said it. Draco quickly glared back at her in obvious annoyance. Then quickly he placed his hand around her wrist and yanked her hand off of his mouth.

"Where the bloody hell…" Draco tried to speak once more but she interrupted him with an irritated whisper.

"Dear god, do you not understand what 'shh' means. I honestly thought you were smart Draco… Now shh!"

After awhile of complete silence and Nava looking around making sure they weren't seen, he spoke once more.

"Okay now we are in a forest, and no sign of Potter." He said his name as though he was disgusted to even have it pass through his lips. Draco continued to look around the area and began to walk towards an open area of snow.

"Okay, so I guess we will be camping out here tonight?" He looked back towards her once more waiting for some sort of response.

Nava was stood still behind the tree that they first appeared by, as she shook her head softly while smirking.

"Do you really think they are going to camp out in the open Draco?"

He rolled his eyes again. "Sorry."

Nava smirked she loved when he said sorry, no one would have the delight of hearing that word except for her. She pulled him towards a few trees that were clumped together. "We are going to stay here for the night." She let go of his hand and grabbed the sleeping bags out of her bag. She threw one at the tree where Draco stood and looked at it with confusion. She watched as he just furrowed his brows and his grey eyes soon met hers.

"What the bloody hell am I supposed to do with this?" He pointed at it slowly as he looked directly at Nava.

She just shook her head and rubbed the bridge of her nose before responding.

"You are the most deprived child I have ever met." Nava flicked her wand and the sleeping bag unrolled on its own.

She sat on top of her sleeping bag and Draco went into his. She watched him lie down and tuck himself in. Soon the silence in the forest around them was interrupted. She watched as Draco rested his hand in his palm while staring at the fire.

"Nava about tonight…"

She knew where this was going and she didn't think this was the right time they should be discussing it so she interrupted him, "Not now, Draco, we can talk about this another time." Her voice was stern and certain. He quickly stopped mid sentence and he didn't push the subject.

She looked around the area for a while, while leaning against the tree behind her sleeping bag. She was extremely tired but she knew she had to stay awake. She looked at Draco's calm body as he breathed in and out. His blonde hair slightly covered his eyes. He looked so peaceful, so kind. Without the permanent scowl on his face, she would almost say he was normal. Normal. What was she thinking? They were far from normal. Especially in their part of the war, an ex-death eater and a random witch traveling to protect Harry Potter. Ha. What an odd pair they made. Her mind went from thought to thought as time went on. What felt like minutes soon turned to hours and soon enough sleep caught up with her and her eyes slowly fluttered closed. Her wand rolled out of her hand and fell on the ground next to her.

It was peaceful for about 45 minutes till Nava woke up to a growl. It seemed that Draco heard it too because he got out of his sleeping bag and hid behind the tree with his wand in hand. Nava looked around the dark and touched the ground next to her to find her wand lying there. She grabbed it and did the same as Draco. Nava slowly backed against the tree and looked at her surroundings. What she saw wasn't something she ever wanted to see. She saw about seven pairs of yellow eyes staring at them. One of the creatures came into the light, Timberwolves.

"Shit." Draco whispered, fear swept across his face and his eyes were wide. Nava knew that spells weren't going to do much with their speed. So she was going to do the only thing that she could to make sure they would be safe, or he would be.

"Draco, cover me okay?" She could barely see him but she could see enough to tell he nodded. She closed her eyes and focused on all her magic. She let her magic flow through her body and the watery feeling spread throughout it. Soon enough where Nava once stood now laid a large white wolf.

Draco's eyes widened as Nava stepped into the light right in front of the pack leader to protect him. She was in attack mode and a loud growl emerged from her throat. The white Timberwolves looked her straight into her eyes and barked loudly. Slowly crouching Nava looked the pack leader straight in his eyes. She never showed an ounce of fear and stared him down. She could see him wince at her determination and crouched lower. With a small growl he finally pounced on top of Nava. She growled and sunk her teeth into his neck. Her inner wolf was controlling her now and she could only observe her actions, which derived from her natural instinct.

She shook him enough to hear a crack and threw the dead wolf to the side. She barked once more warning them for what was to come if they attempted to attack. She had just killed their leader but they did not fall apart, this pack was a strong one. As she thought about it, she wasn't sure if they were the kind to fall apart after their leader was killed or were ones that sought revenge.

Shit.

A flow of emotions came through her head.

Fear. Anticipation. Anger.

They flew so fast through her that a growl erupted from her throat.

She turned her head slightly to see Draco pointing his wand at them. She knew what they wanted was food and their target was Draco. They were practically drooling. The wolves began to pile on top her one after another. Nava's adrenaline immediately kicked in. She began throwing them off of her.

After throwing one of them off, one of the wolves sunk their teeth into her back. She cringed in pain and ripped him off of her with her teeth sinking into the wolf's leg and threw him violently towards the tree. Two of them ran at her, one aimed towards her back where she turned and grabbed on to his throat and cracked it. She forgot about the other who now had a grip around her neck and didn't want to let go. His teeth were sinking deeper into her neck but her adrenaline made it so it didn't hurt as much.

She could see Draco was fighting off the last two Timberwolves and they both ran yelping when he stunned them. The one was still hooked onto Nava's neck and she could feel her energy draining. She tried to buck him off and tried to bite on his tail but nothing was working. As soon as Draco led the others fleeing he yelled out aiming at the wolf on Nava.

"Confringo!" On queue, the wolf erupted into flames. Once the limp dog let go of her neck, Nava fell to the ground. The pain began to spread through her body and it was excruciating. Draco ran to her side, his hands around her head. He was examining her neck and she could see the worry all over his face. She knew she was bleeding, she could feel the warm liquid running down her neck. She looked at the snow around her, as it was turning red as well.

"Nava, don't turn back, the wound on your neck is severe. If you turn back I won't be able to stop the bleeding." Nava looked at him in the eyes. His worry was still all over his face.

"Its all my fault, if I could have killed the damn mutt before he reached you this wouldn't have happened, god and I have nothing on me to heal you." He looked around and grabbed her bag and all their things.

"Stay with me, Nava, I'm going to take you to the only place I know that can help." He looked at her and grabbed onto her. "We are going to apparate okay?" All that came out of Nava's throat was a whimper. He held onto her tightly and their body's twisted on the spot.

A second later they appeared in a hotel area, where Draco then led her towards the fireplace. "Hang on, Nava, we are almost there." With that he threw down the floo powder and yelled "Hogwarts."

Hogwarts? What was he thinking? He could get himself killed.

The second they arrived the in the Headmaster's office, Snape ran over towards them. "Draco, what the bloody hell happened?" He looked up at Snape and told him.

"Timberwolves, Professor, she needs help now!" Snape ran out of the room and soon came back with Madam Pomphrey. She ran into the room and looked at Nava's form suspiciously.

"A wolf headmaster?"

"Just treat her now!" Snape sternly spoke as he raised his voice. She jumped a little and with that they laid her body down on a cot. Draco got up from sitting next to Nava; his body was covered in her blood. She didn't like him being in this situation.

"With the condition that she is now she could die, I need everyone out of the room." Draco glanced at Madam Pomphrey because of what she said and then back at Nava. She too was worried, she could die. That wasn't something she was going to accept, not when there was so much she needed to do. Draco knelt down beside her and stroked the top of her head softly he then whispered. "Please be okay."

Madam Pomphrey got straight to work first stopping the bleeding and cleaning the wounds, then she looked at the large wolf's face and Nava looked directly at her.

"This might sting a bit." She brought out the dittany bottle and poured some on her wounds. Nava clenched her teeth in pain, and inside where no one could see she was crying in agony. She could see Madam Pomphrey beginning to heal her other wounds that weren't as bad.

Awhile later, Madame Pomphrey allowed Draco back into the room as she cleaned up. Draco was at the table on a chair next to her stroking her head softly. Once she was fully healed Draco whispered in her ear to stay in her form for the rest of the night. Madam Pomphrey gave her some sleeping draught and brought a blanket for Draco. He nodded towards her and placed one of them on top of Nava. As soon as he did that Nava began to drift off to sleep. She hated sleeping draught but she knew with the wounds she had, she needed to recover.

She forced herself to wake up after what seemed like hours. She knew her limits and she knew how long she needed to heal for. She woke up but couldn't open her eyes quite yet. She could hear someone talking.

"…It was all my fault… leaving you…but after everything you still came to find me… why? Why Nava? What did I do for you to care?" He was whispering in her ear so that the no one would hear him. "I should have protected you like you did for me…its all going to change I promise you… for once in my life I don't think I could have ever said this before… but I promise Nava, I promise I'll protect you." Nava's eyes began to flutter open. Draco rubbed behind her ears and she closed her eyes and leaned into his hand. After looking around the room she noticed that no one was around. She took the opportunity and transformed back into herself. Draco was about to speak but she put a finger to his lips. She slowly and steadily stepped off of the table and grabbed Draco's wrist. Slowly guiding him towards the fireplace. No one was around so Nava pulled him harder and grabbed some floo powder. "The Burrow." A loud roar of the fire came from within the fireplace and they were gone.

As soon as they arrived they ran through the house and ran out the door of the Weasley home. With a loud crack they apparated to their last location. Finally, out of sight and beyond the earshot, she leaned against a tree and fell to the floor. Her strength was failing her. She grabbed her bag and pulled out a pepper up potion. She took a sip of it to replenish her energy. All this time Draco was just looking down at her like she was mad.

"What?" She whispered.

He shook his head in disbelief, "You were about to die and you go ahead and do the last thing you should be doing? Transforming back?"

Nava shook her head, "I told you this was supposed to be a secret! No one was supposed to know I was alive… plus Harry and them are heading towards the Lovegood's home tomorrow." She looked him straight in the eyes. Draco smirked but she could see a glimpse of worry flash through his grey eyes.

"Nava, come on, you need to rest. Don't do this! Not now! Dammit I nearly lost…" He paused catching his tongue before he finished his sentence and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand.

"Lost what, Malfoy?" She looked at him harder.

"Nothing." He replied with disgusted tone and then they heard a crack behind them.

"I guess they decided to leave sooner than I expected." Nava spoke as she turned towards Draco. She looked over at him with her hand extended. Her eyebrows rose, as he didn't immediately grab her hand. He shook his head and placed the Malfoy scowl on his face. "You are crazy, do you know that?"

After his smart remark he grabbed her hand and they apparated to the area behind the Lovegood's home.

She peered through the window and could see Harry, Ron, and Hermione enter the house. She looked over at Draco then leaned against the house. She decided that she would let them enjoy their time with a good friend of theirs. She looked over at Draco and then back at the ground.

She began to fiddle with her wand and she could see from the corner of her eyes that Draco wasn't really interested in talking to her at the moment either. It seemed like 20 minutes passed when Nava saw an owl leave the house. She looked at it curiously and then she heard screaming from inside the house. Draco seemed to have heard it too and Nava looked over at him. They crept from the side of the house and saw three jets of black smoke heading straight towards the house.

"Dammit!" She grabbed and extra coat out of her bag and tossed it towards Draco. "Put it on quickly, we need to fight them off." He did it quickly as she told him. Nava began running out towards the open grass area and throwing spell after spell at the Death Eaters. One of them ran in towards the house and was searching for Harry.

"You know what you need to do, follow him!" She yelled towards Draco as she fought off two persistent Death Eaters. Through the corner of her eye she could see him running in towards the house.

"Expelliarmus!" The spell came from behind her and directly hit her in the back. She fell forward with hard force. She turned around to see a fourth Death Eater heading her way.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

All she could think about is how screwed she was. Draco had gone inside the house and thank god he was safe, that's all she truly cared about. She looked to the side of her and spotted her wand. When she was hit with the disarming spell her wand flew towards the house. Crap. She was now wandless. The fourth Death Eater that appeared had begun to walk quickly towards her like she was some sort of prize. She began to back away, crawling as fear rose through all her veins. Soon enough the man was towering over her.

"Well, well, we meet again, Digory." She winced as he lifted her from her neck.

"Let me GO!" She yelled trying to wiggle from his grasp. She stared into his eyes and then he removed his mask.

"You do remember me now don't you deary? Now, Where is my boy?" She looked at Lucius with disgust. "You know its funny, I swear when I find him I'm going to kill him right in front of your face do you hear me? His cowardice will no longer disgrace the Malfoy name!" A Death Eater walked towards them slowly.

"Yes Lucius, that is what the Lord wants to hear, your dedication to him. No matter what the consequences are!" The woman snickered and her mask disappeared. Her black curly tangled hair stood on top of her head with pride. How could Draco's own father be so cruel! It was his son and he was able to give him up just so he could look good? She could feel her anger spreading throughout her body and her magic was becoming out of control. Her emotions ran wild and so did her magic.

"NO! You won't dare lay a finger on him!" She yelled it out extremely loud and what followed was truly unbelievable. She closed her eyes and once she opened them they became ice cold blue.

The woman laughed loudly, "Lucius, this girl is cheeky! Get rid of her now!"

Lucius didn't look at the woman at all but replied.

"Bella, I will do as I see is best, now let me be!" He glared at Nava and scowled, his arms gripped tighter around her neck. "Do you actually think you can prevent me from killing you? Silly girl, you cannot fend for yourself." She couldn't hold it any longer and with that a barrier pulsated from her body and pushed all the Death Eaters away. Almost as if she had shot a powerful stupefy spell, they all lay on the ground a mile away unconscious.

She suddenly felt herself slowly reaching the ground slowly and she walked towards her wand. When picked it up and could see her reflection in a piece of shattered glass. Her eyes had turned ice blue; she blinked quickly and rubbed her eyes hard. Finally when she looked back at the glass, her eyes returned to the natural hazel they once were before. She couldn't believe what had just happened. She did wandless magic, something that took years to do but it came almost natural. She walked inside the Lovegood's house but no one was there except a stunned Death Eater. She closed her eyes and sensed Ron's tracker and quickly apparated.

She soon lay in the middle of a green forest behind a tree. She could see Ron, Harry, and Hermione in the middle of a group of snatchers. "Dammit! Not this again!" She whispered as she was about to move but a hand covered her mouth. She tried to struggle against the person's hand but soon the familiar twisting feeling of apparation engulfed her. As soon as the squishing sensation disappeared she noticed that she was outside the Malfoy manor.
