Past:
"Draco! Blaise! Blade! Help move Severus to his room!" Amy shouted out moving Severus's head off her lap before standing in a daze and allowing the boys to move him into his room. "Theo! Mili! I'm going to need you both to heal Severus with the help of Erlina." Theo and Millicent nodded at Erlina before following the boys into the room. "Ron! Pansy! Ginny! Please go to the owlery and send a message to Uncle and anybody else who needs to be informed but not Dumbledore." They all nodded before running out of the secret passage way from the snakes out the dungeons. "Priscilla! Can you go with Greggory and Vincent to Severus's potion stocks and get all the healing potions you can get." Priscilla saluted her before running out of the door with Greggory and Vincent right behind her. Amy sighed before pulling out her wand fixing the desk, reorganizing the papers, setting the bookshelf up right, reorganizing his books, before finally pulling his chair up from the ground and sitting down and watching as everyone ran around her doing the job she had assigned to them to stabilize there head of house. 'How could Dumbledore have Severus's own son attack him. I mean we may be bad but were not as bad as he is.' Amy thought sadly. Half way through the night though there panicking became more intense that Amy had to step into the room. She told everyone to get out and come back in 5 minutes. Amy pulled up a chair next to Severus's bed closing her eyes as soon as she was comfortable. Amy pooled most of her magic into a ball in her hand which was a ball of pure black smoke swirling all around before she pushed it into his body whispering, "Vigoratus!" As soon as she had done that she blacked out. But just as quickly as she had passed out Severus began to heal incredibly quickly. His wounds on his face started to knit together along with the wounds that were internally, namely the broken bones, began to snap back into place. Soon after his stats began to beep that he was healed, alarming the group standing outside the door. They quickly barged into the room to see Severus waking up and Amy passed out beside him.
Present:
"Amy!" Draco shouted running over to Amy who was passed out beside Severus. Draco grabbed Amy and held her close to him whispering, "Amy please wake up."
Severus opened his eyes to see Draco running towards him and his niece sitting in a chair beside his bed crumpled over on the edge of the bed passed out. Severus began to sit up looking worriedly at his niece who was now in Draco's arms. Severus grunted, "What happened?"
Blaise answered from the crowd at the door who was watching Draco holding Amy, "What do you remember Severus?"
Severus briefly took his eyes off of Draco and Amy and turned his glance to Blaise who was standing at the door with the rest of the group. "I don't remember. One minute I was cleaning up the classroom and refilling potion ingredients for class tomorrow. And then…." Severus stopped trying to remember exactly what had happened. "Harry!" Severus gasped.
"Why did he do this?" Amy groaned sitting up from Draco's arms. Draco looked at her with concern in his eyes as she started to sit up in her seat again.
"I'm not sure. I wish I knew. But he just crashed into the room yelling curses and hexes at me. I tried to block most of them but I didn't want to hurt him. He is still my Korvin…. Even if he is brainwashed." Severus said slowly looking down at his hands. Amy nodded from beside him with a sad smile reaching out to hold his hand in hers. His eyes raised to meet hers with silent tears streaming down his face. Amy shocked to see Severus crying ushered everyone out of the room to give him some privacy. Once everyone had left the room except for Amy and Severus she raised her hand from his and wiped away his tears. He looked her in the eyes again and Amy started, "We are going to get him back Sev. I promise you that." Hearing those words Severus began to cry once again and hugged Amy. As tears were streaming down his face he whispered, "We are going to get him back…." Amy nodded holding him and rocking him back and forth as he cried in her arms. Amy held him until he cried himself to sleep in her arms. She then gently laid him back down in the bed and put a cover over him. She quietly moved towards the door to his room and looked back at him and whispered, "We are going to get him back." before grabbing the door handle and walking back into Severus's office.
As she emerged back into Severus's office she noticed that her friends were still there waiting for her. She looked around and noticed that they had finished cleaning up the office and had rearranged everything in the office to the way it was before. Looking around the room she saw that they were all currently sitting around the fireplace drinking fire whiskey and looking at her. Draco was the first one to break the silence, "Is he okay?" Draco asked cautiously.
Amy looked up at him and said "He will be", Amy paused looking around at the group of people in front of her once more, before beginning again "We need to get Korvin back."
"How are we going to do that?" Ron asked from beside Pansy.
"I'm not sure yet Ron. But we just have to…" Amy muttered. Draco got up from beside Blaise and grabbed Amy in a hug, and vowed "We will get him back." As everyone else in the room nodded in agreeance. "Now we should probably all get to bed as we have class tomorrow." Draco announced. The group began to grumble and reluctantly began to get up and exit Severus's office and walk towards the Slytherin dorms. Amy and Draco were the last ones to walk out of the office. Amy turned and looked at the office door once more and put her hand on it whispering, "protegam eum." At the same time dark purple wisps began to spiral down her arm into her hand and then to the door which glowed dark purple as the wisps reached the door. Once the glow faded she dropped her hand from the door and turned back to Draco who was waiting patiently for her to finish. Draco then grabbed her hand and guided her down the dark and cold stone hallways back to the dorm. The whole walk back to the dorm was silent for the couple both of them being lost in their own thoughts. When they reached the dorm and they walked through the portrait and gave each other a good night kiss before walking up the stairs to their respective rooms. When Amy reached the girls dorm she found that the rest of them were already asleep in their beds. She quietly walked over to her bed and sat down kicking off her boots and crawling into bed in her clothes. She grabbed the blanket at the end of the bed and pulled it up to her chin laying her head down on the pillow drifting off to sleep quickly.
The Next Day:
"Amy?!" Ginny shouted shaking the girl awake.
"Hmm…" Amy grumbled from her pillow.
"It's time to go to breakfast!" Ginny giggled at the girl.
Amy groaned raising her head from the pillow to look at the clock beside her bed which read 8 AM. Amy sighed, "Okay. I'm getting up." Amy began to sit up in her bed slowly still feeling the side effects of using so much magic the night before. She gently moved her legs off the side of the bed looking around the room. She saw that all the other girls were quietly getting ready. She groaned once again and stood up seeing that she had fell asleep in her clothes from the night before. Amy moved towards her dresser and began to throw off the clothes from the night before which still had some spots of Severus's blood on it. She grabbed a pair of black skinny jeans and a green V-neck from the dresser and put them on. Then she moved back to her bed and put on her black dragon hide boots tucking her pants into them. Once her boots were on she grabbed one of the new robes from her trunk that her mother had bought her and noticed that it now had the Slytherin emblem on it. While putting on the robe Amy moved over to where the other girls were by the vanity mirror and poked her head over so she could see her reflection. She saw that her hair looked a mess and grabbed a brush on the vanity and brushed her hair out and grabbed her hair in her hand and put it into a ponytail with the hair tie on her wrist. Amy looked at the other girls and asked, "Are you ready to go to breakfast?"
The girls looked at her and chorused a noisy "Yes!"
Amy then began to walk down the stairs of the dorm with the other girls following behind her. In the common room the guys were waiting on the couches. Blaise who had noticed the girls first said, "Jeez what took you so long?"
Ginny giggled, "Amy was still sleeping!"
Amy grumbled "Let's get to breakfast." The boys began to walk over towards the girls and out of the portrait towards the dining hall.
Draco grabbed Amy's hand and kissed her cheek muttering, "Good morning beautiful."
"Morning Drake." Amy yawned sleepily weaving her fingers through his. Draco smiled as they walked up to dining hall where the doors were shut. Amy lazily waved her free hand and opened the doors for the group. The whole dining hall looked up at them as they walked in and moved to the Slytherin table. The whole hall looked surprised when they saw Ron holding Pansy's hand and a Slytherin emblem on his robe. From the Gryffindor table a shriek was heard. "Ron! What are you doing with that whore?! What about me?!" Lavender shrieked from beside Harry.
Ron looked back at her coldly and scoffed, "You meant nothing to me."
"What about all the good times you, me, and Harry had together?" Lavender cried.
Pansy snickered, "Really and she calls me the whore? Why don't you tell us about those good times Lavender?" Lavender blushed and shook her head, "No don't want to tell the whole school about your threesome. Probably a good choice…Oops my bad I guess they all know now anyways." Pansy revealed. The group started to giggle to themselves.
Which set Lavender off again as she spluttered "You… are... a BITCH!" standing up from her spot at the Gryffindor table and running over towards Pansy crazily with her wand out. "Mut…" Lavender started but was cut off by Professor McGonagall screaming "Enough…. Silencio." Pointing her wand at Lavender who was cut off mid-hex. "10 points from Gryffindor for trying to hex another student and name-calling. To my office Ms. Brown." McGonagall continued ushering Lavender out of the dining hall. Amy and group laughed and waved goodbye to Lavender before moving over to their table. The group sat down and instantly began filling their plates with food from the table. Amy frowned as she looked up the head table and noticed that Severus was not up at the table. Shortly after she had noticed that Severus wasn't there the dining hall doors erupted open and in walked Severus with his cloak billowing behind him fully healed from the night before. Severus walked up to the head table and sat in his normal seat next to Viktor and began to fill his plate and make conversation with Viktor. Amy heard a noise from the Gryffindor table and her eyes connected with Harry's which were filled with rage and he appeared to be fuming from seeing Severus healthy. Amy shook her head sadly and thought, we will get you back Korvin.
"Time for class children!" Dumbledore boomed from the front of the room. Shortly after people began to move and make their way towards the doors.
Amy looked over Draco and asked "What is our first class?"
Draco looked down at the schedule and groaned "Transfiguration with Gryffindor."
The group groaned and began making their way towards their first class of the school year. They walked up the warm hallways towards the transfiguration room. Which were very different from the dark dungeons that went towards the Potion master's room. As they approached the room the Gryffindor's were already beginning to file into the room. They followed suit and sat in the back on the other side of the classroom away from the Gryffindor's.
Shortly after the Slytherin side of the room had finally all sat down Professor McGonagall walked into the room, "Now! Now! Children settle down!" Professor McGonagall demanded as she walked towards front of the room. "Now welcome to N.E.W.T. level Transfiguration! This will be a two hour course. First hour will be focused on the history of Transfiguration. Second hour will be focused on practicing Transfiguration. Any questions?"
Lavender raised her hand, "What will be learning this term Professor?"
"In this term we will be learning human transfiguration, as well as animagi." Professor McGonagall answered. "Now let's get started." After that Professor McGonagall began her lecture on human transfiguration and animagis. After two long hours of Professor McGonagall lecturing the bell finally rang indicating that it was time to switch classes. Amy started to get up from her seat and looked down at the schedule and saw that the next class in the time table was N.E.W.T. level Potions followed by lunch and then Muggle Studies with Gryffindor. She stepped into the walkway between the desks and was immediately pushed backwards into Draco and Blaise. Amy looked up to see a sneering Harry and Lavender. Amy smirked at them and said, "Is that the best you've got?" taunting them.
Harry snarled "You don't want to see the best I've got death eater."
Amy snorted at his retort "That's right I'm sure you are terrifying Harry." Amy thought for a second before continuing, "Why don't you show me how terrifying you are Harry? You and me alone in the room of requirement during Muggle studies after lunch. Nobody else."
"Fine", Harry growled, "If you really want your ass kicked. I'll gladly send you to the infirmary."
"I won't be the one in the infirmary big shot!" Amy laughed walking out of the class room with Draco and Blaise behind her.
As soon as they were out of ear shot Draco exploded, "What do you think you're doing?!"
"Payback." Amy coldly answered looking at him. Draco and Blaise were stunned by her response and how cold it was. They both followed after the girl who was walking confidently down to the dungeons for their potion lesson. Amy turned to look at both of them before they entered the classroom and said, "Not a word of this to anyone. Understood?" Both of the boys nodded. Amy nodded at them and then walked into the potions classroom to find the rest of the Slytherin's already sitting down waiting for them. Theo looked at them as they walked in and yelled, "Guys over here", motioning for them to come sit by him and the rest of the group. As they sat down Severus busted into the room from his office at the front of the room.
"Welcome to N.E.W.T. level Potions." Severus drawled, "In this class you will be learning how to make advanced potions like a Polyjuice potion, Draught of the Living Death, and Felix Felicis." Severus looked around the room at the group of Slytherin's in front of him. "Can any of you tell me what any of those potions do?" Severus asked. He looked around the room once more as no one had raised their hand to pick a victim to answer his question. "Ms. Thorpe can you tell me what one of these potions do?"
Amy replied, "The Draught of the Living Death causes the drinker to fall into a death like slumber."
"Correct." Severus answered. "Now can anyone tell me why someone might use a Draught of the Living Death?"
"To fake their own death." Blade answered from behind Amy.
"Correct again. Now today we will be discussing the history of these potions. Grab your Advanced Potion Making books and follow along." Severus responded.
Amy stared off in space thinking about what she going to do after lunch. If she should actually hurt Harry for what he did to Severus. She sighed she knew that wasn't right for her to hurt him no matter how angry it had made her. It wasn't truly Harry doing it after all. He was brainwashed… That's what she needed to do was break the spell on him. It was a little early to be breaking his spell as it wasn't Halloween yet. But she couldn't let Harry hurt others like that anymore. She had to find out how to break the spell on him. She looked around at her friends sadly they were great but she had to this alone. Her gaze stopped on Draco he's going to be so angry at me for not telling him my plan but he will just have to get over it she thought. The bell rang breaking her out of her own thoughts. She got up quietly and walked from the dark dungeon to the dining hall with the rest of the Slytherin's following behind her talking noisily. Draco grabbed her hand as they approached the dining hall causing her to look up and smile at him. "I'm fine." Amy supplied, "Just thinking." Draco nodded as they walked into the dining hall towards the Slytherin's table. As soon as they got there Ginny began talking to them about how her classes had went. Amy sat down at the table still in thought. Thinking about the potion lesson she had just had and trying to think of a way to stop Harry without hurting him. Amy then realized exactly what she needed and walked towards the head table and began whispering to Viktor. Viktor's eyes widened but he nodded and stood up began walking out of the dining hall with Amy.
Ginny watched as Amy left and looked over at Blaise and Draco, "What's going on?"
Both of them responded, "I don't know." looking worriedly at the door that Amy had just left through. Near the end of lunch Viktor returned, however, Amy was not with him. Draco immediately walked up to him and asked "Where is she?" Viktor looked at Draco wide eyed and sputtered, "I don't know she said she had to go get ready." Ginny who had walked up to Viktor at the same time as Draco hearing this asked, "Get ready for what Draco?" This sent a chill down Draco's spine as he turned to face Ginny who was getting quite irritated of all of her questions being dodged. "I can't tell you. I promised her that I wouldn't." Draco responded quietly. "Tell me everything now Draco!" Ginny demanded.
"She's going to fight Potter alone." Blaise whispered from behind Ginny. Ginny then turned on him, "Where?"
"The room of requirement." Blaise answered. Ginny then stormed off in the direction in the room of requirement with the boy's right behind her.
Meanwhile in the Room of Requirement:
Amy stood against the wall in the room of requirement. It currently looked like a dark stone room with a stone circle in the middle with many different weapons hanging on the wall. In one corner there were punching bags and speed bags hanging from the ceiling. The room was lighted by only two candles making the room very dark when you first walked into it. Amy sighed as she put on the lip balm she had just got from Viktor.
"I knew you couldn't resist me." Harry snickered from the other side of the room, "Was that your plan to seduce me?"
Amy smirked back at him putting on her best seductive smile, "Of course it was! How did you know?"
Harry shocked at her response began smiling. "Well girls don't usually put on lip balm to fight." Harry teased bridging the gap between them until he was right in front of her.
"Well you always knew I wasn't most girls Harry." Amy giggled. Harry was so close to her now he was breathing on her face. She could see every detail of him. His jet black hair swept down to his eyes which were framed by his glasses hiding his bright green eyes. She looked down at him and finally recognized that he was a lot more muscular then she remembered and that he had filled out in all the right places. He was definitely no longer the little boy she remembered from first year. "You've changed Harry" Amy breathed.
Harry laughed, "So have you my dear Hermione or should I say Amy now." Harry lifted his hand and caressed her face, "So different but still the same aren't you? Couldn't stand being without me could you?" Harry whispered to her.
"No I couldn't" Amy whispered back looking into his bright green eyes. Harry's lips crashed down onto hers and his tongue slid into her mouth and deep inside Amy knew this was wrong. Amy weaved her fingers into Harry's jet black hair pulling him closer to her. Harry put both hands on either side of her head and tore his mouth away from hers gasping for air. Harry looked at her with a look of betrayal as his eyes began to close. Amy held him close to herself and thought Lamia.
"Amy!" Draco whimpered from the other side of the room. Amy looked over Harry's shoulder and saw Draco standing there looking heartbroken with Blaise and Ginny. A silent tear fell down Amy's cheek as she whispered, "I'm sorry." Loud enough for them to hear her from the other side of the room before she felt the familiar tug behind her navel and saw a swirl of colors before her feet landed on the ground again.
Draco's POV:
We followed Ginny up to the Room of Requirement hoping that she wouldn't intervene in the fight. Amy wanted to do this herself for a reason Draco thought.
"How could you let her do this herself?!" Ginny raged as they walked up the stairs to the fifth level.
"You really think we had a choice in the matter." Blaise answered as they walked up to the third level.
"No but you could have stopped her" Ginny argued.
"And how were we supposed to do that?!" Draco snapped at the girl. Ginny turned to him angrily and slapped him across the face.
"If she gets hurt it's your fault!" Ginny spit back. Draco glared at her not even phased by the girls slap.
"Ginny! That's not fair!" Blaise yelled as they approached the fourth floor. Ginny stopped and looked at him and started to cry. Both of the boys softened putting a hand on each shoulder.
"I just don't want her to get hurt." Ginny cried.
"Well then come on let's get up there." Draco responded as they ran up the remaining stairs to the room of requirement. They entered the room which was so dark they had problems seeing or hearing anything. Then all of sudden they heard Harry's voice the group stiffened as they were finally able to see what was going on. Harry had Amy pinned up against the wall but he wasn't threatening her. It sounded like he was trying to seduce her. Draco's heart dropped as he heard the conversation.
Harry laughed, "So have you my dear Hermione or should I say Amy now." Harry lifted his hand and caressed her face, "So different but still the same aren't you? Couldn't stand being without me could you?" Harry whispered to her.
Draco growled low in throat and attempted to charge him but Ginny held him back.
"No I couldn't" Amy whispered back looking into his bright green eyes. Harry's lips crashed down onto hers and his tongue slid into her mouth. Amy weaved her fingers into Harry's jet black hair pulling him closer to her. Harry put both hands on either side of her head and tore his mouth away from hers gasping for air.
"Amy!" Draco whimpered from the other side of the room. Draco saw Amy pick her head up over Harry's shoulder and heard her whisper "I'm sorry." before she and Harry disappeared.
