SOm I have missed writing this story sooo much! For all my readers who thought I gave up, you were wrong! Life just tripped me and it took awhile to get back up! On with the story!
Scorpius' POV
I'm floating, all I feel is numbness and everything around me is dark. I try to remember the last bit of my memories from the night before. I remember Izzy making sure I got home on time, but then someone or something attacked us. There were some flashes, blood, and darkness. I try to collect more details in my head, but only a headache comes from it. I wish that Lily was here right now, she knows more about healing than I do.
"Wake up, Scorpius!" a familiar voice exclaims urgently. I try to open my eyes, but my lids are too heavy. I try to do the same with the rest of my body and come out with similar results.
"The charm we put on him is holding well. He won't be able to wake up and save you this time Ms. Potter," a voice says confidently. Wait, they got Lily? I have to wake up, I have to try and fight this, but it seems no matter what I do I can't become conscience.
"Who ever said I need to be saved when my kidnapper is a slimy, useless, git!" Lily snarls back at the man. Wait, Lily, snarling? Suddenly, there's a slapping noise and the kidnapper laughs. My blood is boiling at this point and it's upsetting that I can't do anything about it. I try to flex my fingers and there's a slight twitch! Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to wake up from this after all and save Lily.
"Never talk back to me you little insect. You're just like your parents. Ridiculously stubborn and always shoving your noses into other people's business. Within the next few hours you'll be dead and it will be by the hands of your precious boyfriend," he reveals to Lily and this makes me worry. What could he possibly use to make me kill the girl I think I'm in love with? Unless, no, that's forbidden, the imperious curse!
I hear the footfalls of the enemy leave the room and another body comes down next to me. "Scorpius, you have to wake up, Lily would never forgive me if you died," the fake Lily whispers to me and I feel something slide off my arms. I'm guessing they were bound. I feel delicate hands brush over my head to check for further injury and soon enough move to my legs to unbind them as well.
The only person I can imagine who can fool the enemy by looking like someone else would be Izzy. I thought that 'Lily' was a little too snarky in that last conversation. "Come on now, Scorpius, open your eyes. I know you can do it. The spell isn't that strong, if only I could use my wand, but I know that this room might be bugged for anti-magic use," she mumbles shaking my shoulders slightly warming them. I can tell that the numbness is fading as this conversation goes on and I try to open my eyes again, this time the open and I feel arms envelope me tightly. I see familiar dark scarlet red hair, but not the familiar scent of vanilla that normally comes with Lily.
"Scorpius, you're awake. I thought that you weren't going to wake up," she admits thankfully from behind me. She quickly pulls forward slightly embarrassed by the show of emotions. Izzy is very good at disguises, she's gotten every detail right with Lily.
"Vanilla, Lily smells like vanilla. You'll need to fix that next time," I say horse from the lack of speaking over the last few hours. Izzy flushes a deep scarlet being found out by such a trivial detail. With Lily's pale skin it's even more prominent than it would have been on her regular pallor.
"Thanks for the tip, but we need to come up with a plan to get out of here. In a couple hours our captors will use the imperious curse to force you to kill me. Almost like a Romeo and Juliet type thing except a bit more sick," Izzy explains to me looking around the room to see if she can find anything that'll help us.
My head is still a little foggy, but I get up slightly shaking and start looking around. The room itself is quite small, and there is rubbish all over the place, as if it hasn't been cleaned in years. I notice that there is a little bit of light coming from breaks in the ceiling around us.
"Is there any way to break the ceiling? Light is coming through which means we're on the top floor. Maybe we can scale the building?" I question her and she shakes her head looking me over in a very not Lily way.
"In your current condition a slight puff of wind could make you fall over, but it is a good idea, if nothing else comes up that's what we'll have to do," she replies shortly looking at more odds and ends in the room.
On piece of rubbish on the floor gets to me. It's a piece of an old desk with an engraving on it. I read the words on the old desk and nearly fall backwards in surprise because it reads Lucius Malfoy. We're in the storage room in Malfoy manner. My grandfather hasn't had anyone cleaning here, that's why it's such a mess.
I grip the piece of desk and chuck it at the ceiling now knowing where we are. It leaves a decent hole that we might be able to crawl through. "Scorpius, what are you doing?" Izzy snaps at me looking at the hole I made. I laugh a little bit at her expression and shrug like it's nothing.
"We're in Malfoy manor right now. I've been here quite a few times, though it was much cleaner then. There should be a broom closet somewhere in this room. If you could find it while I make this whole a little bit bigger that would be grad," I tell her and she rolls her eyes at me, but she begins looking anyway.
"There are two brooms and both are in pieces. Maybe scaling the house isn't such a bad idea anymore. Lift me up," Izzy orders me and I cup my hands together as she uses them as a spring board to go through the hole in the roof.
I wait a few moments for Izzy to tell me what's going on out there, but there's a bright light and Izzy comes back in looking slightly frazzled. "I think our captors have a fight going on outside. I almost got hit with a rouge spell," Izzy informs me.
"Use a spell, with so many coming close to the building there shouldn't be a problem with you using one," I urge her and she complies with a sigh and unlocks the door and we bust out of the room.
So, did you like it? If you want anymore after this I would suggest reviewing. I have a finished story with seven chapters and it has more reviews than this! -_-
