I laid on the floor, blood seeping from my arms and chest. Neville and Ginny grabbed my arms, lifting me. I breathed heavily. "Are you guys okay?" I asked. "We're fine," Ginny said. "It's you who needs to help." They helped me out of the classroom. "You shouldn't have been there," Neville said. "You know as well as I do that I would've gotten detention no matter what I did," I said. "I knew it'd be like this when I decided to come back. We all did." "Stop right there," a voice said. "We're not done with her." "Go," I said. "Trust me." "Emily..." Ginny said. "Trust me," I said, looking at her. They carefully let me down and then walked away. I turned to the Carrow twins. I smiled. "You'll have to catch me first," I said. I gathered all of my strength and started running. A Cruciatus Curse hit me, making me fall to the floor. More blood poured from my fresh wounds. I got off the floor and kept running, knocking over objects as I passed them. I could see the statue that led to Dumbledore's office. I grabbed the statue, it automatically moving.

I ran into the office, Snape immediately looking at me. "Help me," I said. "Miss Potter, what is the meaning of this?" he asked. "I don't want to die," I said. "Not like this. But they're going to kill me. Help me." The Carrows came into the office. "Forgive us," Amycus said. "She got away." "She has a habit of that, doesn't she?" Snape said. He walked down to us. "I'm beginning to have a feeling that you cannot handle her, just as Bellatrix couldn't." "Nonsense," Alecto Carrow said. "Is it? She has gotten away from you twice now Amycus, and even attacked you in your own class," Snape said. "Even with injuries." He looked at me and then back to the twins. "You are no longer to torture her in any manner. You are not to cast a spell, a curse, or an enchantment on her. You are not to even lay a finger on her," he said. "Is that understood?" The twins had looks of anger on their faces. "Yes sir," they said. "Good," he said. "Now leave." The twins glared at me as they left, leaving me and Snape alone. "Thank you," I said as he turned back to me. "Sit down," he said. I sat in a chair in front of the desk. He walked up to me and held my arm. He started healing my injuries. "Tonight you will sleep in the Room of Requirement," he said. "I assume I do not have to tell you where to find it or how to work it." I shook my head. He walked back behind the desk. "You may leave," he said. I got up. "Before you go, there is something I must warn you." I looked at him. "Mr. Malfoy cannot save you. And you cannot save him if you put him in danger." I left, heading straight for the room.

I stood as the door formed on the wall. An arm went around my waist. I opened the door and pulled him inside with me. "Are you okay?" Draco asked. "You can't keep coming here," I said. "It's dangerous." "What are you talking about?" he said. "I can't just leave you here." "Yes you can. You have to," I said. "Draco, what if they discover that you're here? You could be killed." "Emily..." he said. "I'm safe. Snape is protecting me. But no one can protect you there. All anyone can do is beg for your life. And the only ones who will are your parents," I said. "I love you, Draco. And I can't keep letting you risk your life." "Risk my life?" he said. "You're risking your life every single day you're here. Every day for months now." He pulled me to him. "I can't lose you," he said. "I won't lose you." "Draco, I am safe. Cause the Death Eaters outside of the school don't know I'm here," I said. "They won't kill me here. But if they discover that you're gone and they find out where you went...They will take me and kill me." I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I know it's hard. But I need you to do this for me," I said. He kissed me. He picked me up by my thighs and carried me to the bed, laying me down with him on top of me. He rested one of his hands on my stomach. My hands ran down to his arms. All of a sudden, he vanished. I opened my eyes only to see the ceiling. I laid there for a second, before taking my wand out of my boot and putting it under my pillow. I turned onto my side and closed my eyes, falling asleep quickly.

I know this is shorter. But hey, I brought you more than one chapter :) These have actually been written for about two weeks now. But I did not have wifi until now. We just moved into a new house and my mother didn't get wifi until I had moved into my college dorm. My college did not provide wifi in my room so I had to wait for my dad to come back and set it up. But now I'm in college, and I have wifi. Classes start Monday so I don't know how much I'll be able to write, but I'll try my best. I just felt so bad cause I was able to get email and I saw more people (maybe one or two) favorite this story and I was like "I don't know how long it'll be until I can hook you guys up with more. I'm so sorry." But now, I'm back. Yay? You guys decide if that's yay or not. Love you guys. Thanks for reading.
