Hello! Sorry for the late update - I've been busy.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter :(
Draco waited anxiously by his soulmate's refused to leave her. "Come on Maya, I need you! I miss you! Please…" Draco begged, eyes lighting up as Maya's eyes fluttered open. "Hey Draco" She rasped. "How long have I been here?"
"2 weeks." Professor Snape's silky voice drawled. "Draco has been sitting by your bedside ever are only awake because of Fawkes. His tears healed you.I have found out what potion it was," Snape suddenly said, smile faltering. "It was a poison bumbucus morinus. It is illegal and deadly to the drinker. You need to be careful Ms Longbottom. There is someone out to kill you, and they will stop at nothing to see you dead."
Maya's heart stopped. "W-who would want me dead?" She croaked out, reaching for her summoned it and carefully tipped it down her throat, knowing her hands were trembling too much. She sighed in relief as the cool water opened up her throat, relishing the cold in her sore throat.
"We do not Weasley and Mr Zabini have been doing some research, while Mr Longbottom has been going around asking students if they have taken anything from the Herbology classrooms. They have not found anything it is either got it from the greenhouses or from somewhere need to rest Ms it is will strike at the first opportunity, and we need to be ready. Sleep." Snape said before billowing squeezed her hand before leaving her to catch up with his mentor.
"Uncle! You know something." Draco stated.
"Yes."
"Who?" Draco asked
"I am not certain."
Draco groaned were getting nowhere!
"Who do you think did it?"
"I will not reveal it until I am absolutely back to your mate needs you." Snape told him before walking off. Draco slapped his forehead in frustration before heading back to the hospital wing.
Meanwhile, Luna skipped into the hospital wing.
"Hey Luna"
"Hello Hermione. Have the nargles left yet?"
"Uh…"
"Don't worry, they'll leave soon enough, and a crumple horned snorkie will come and make you into what you should be. Goodbye!" She said cheerfully before skipping off again, passing Draco who looked at her strangely.
"What was that about"
"I have no idea…"
Another two weeks past and Maya found herself discharged from the Hospital immediately flopped down onto a rock near the lake, sighing happily as the sunlight hit her face. Draco sat next to her. "I'm glad you're back." He stated softly, eyes watching her every move. "Me I can kiss you all I want."Maya whispered as they kissed passionately. A bang startled them, and Draco was thrown off the rock, landing 10 meters away.A snicker came from behind the bushes. Maya rolled her eyes,
"Incendio!"
Harry and Ron yelped as the bush caught fire and ran towards her. "Aguamenti!" Harry yelled, watering the bush.
"Expelliarmus! Expelliarmus!" Maya shouted, and Draco caught both wands and pocketed it. Maya grinned evilly and whispered something to Draco who nodded, smirking. Holding hands, they raised their wands at the two boys and yelled "Aguamenti!" The jets of water combined into one and it soaked the two boys to the bone!
"Yuck!" Ron cried, running from them and Harry doing the same. Maya turned back to Draco, smiled and pushed him down to the grass before falling on top of him and kissing him happily.Everything will be alright.
"Today you will be learning how to use your powers to your advantage." Snape drawled. After the poison incident, Snape had become stricter with the elementals.
"You will use your wands at the same time to cast an even more powerful version of the spell you intend to create. For example, I saw that fiasco with Potter and Weasley," Snape raised an eyebrow at the two of them. Maya blushed but Draco simply smirked."I cannot scold you for your actions but do be more careful. If word got out that the two of you had some sort of supernatural ability together, well, people would be itching to get their hands on you. Now, Zabini, Weasley, you two will be practicing your casting with your wands, while Draco and Maya will be practicing wandless magic." His lips pulled into a smile at the 4 students' surprised reaction.
"Water and fire are more powerful than earth and air, as they tend to clash and cause smoke and other things. You may start with the levitation charm." His tone left no , the 4 made their way over to opposite sides of the and Ginny immediately started casting the levitation charm, repeating the words together as they tried to make the stack of books float.
"Now," Snape began. "You should know all about wandless magic. I trust both of you can do some form of it?" Both of them nodded.
"Then, you will be able to give me a simple definition of what it is." Snape stated. Maya opened her mouth, but Draco beat her to it.
"According to the guide to wandless magic, wandless magic is the performance of magic without the use of a wand. Such magic is usually difficult to perform and can have unexpected, dangerous or volatile results if not done properly. However, in some regions of the wizarding world wandless magic is considered to be normal and wands are only optional."Draco recited, managing to sound cool with a bossy undertone. Maya's jaw dropped.
That was exactly what I was going to say!
That's why I said it. Came Draco's cocky reply. Snape merely raised an eyebrow.
"If I wanted a full, textbook definition I would have asked Maya specifically Draco." Snape said, lips tugging at the 2 elementals' antics.
"I'm not that bad!"
"Yes you are." Draco and Severus chorused at the same time, causing Ginny to burst out in laughter and accidentally hit Blaise on the head with their stack of glared at the both of them and tried to ignore the chuckles the other two were producing.
"Now on the stack of books and say the incantation at the same time. Hold hands while you do it."
Maya took a deep breath and glanced at Draco.
Ready?
Ready.
On 3.

The pile of books lifted slightly and then landed back onto the table with a thump. Maya's shoulders slumped as her eyes watered slightly. Draco was standing still, hands on the table and he looked perfectly happy with their spell. Snape also looked pleased.
"That is a good practicing until you get it please." He saw Maya's upset reaction and smiled gently, tilting her chin up. "Child, did you think you could do it after one practice? Even grown elementals have trouble mastering this skill. The fact you lifted it slightly already proves how powerful you are." Maya nodded and fixed her eyes on the stack of books again. Draco squeezed her hand reassuringly.
Ready Maya?
Ready.

3 "Wingardium Leviosa!"
The stack of books lifted up to the height of their shoulders before dropping beamed excitedly at tried until Maya collapsed onto a chair, breathing scowled as he walked over.
"I thought it would be a given that you do not strain yourself too much after your ordeal? And you Draco – Why did you not stop her?"
"Excuse me?" Draco asked exasperatedly. "Do you have any idea who we're talking about? You know, the famous Hermione Granger or Maya Longbottom who's as stubborn as a mule?"
Severus simply raised an eyebrow, a small smile tugging at his lips. "Good point." Maya simply harrumphed in response.
"Ms Weasley will escort Ms Longbottom back and Blaise will escort Draco back to your dorms. You better hurry – it's 10 minutes to curfew."They were about to step through the door when he called out to them again. "And you all need to write an essay about wandless magic which is due after the weekend – Our first Potions lesson back. You can hand it to me after the lesson. Make sure it is 2 pieces of parchment long."
"Let's meet on Sunday - It is a Hogsmeade Weekend after all, so we'll get the library mostly to ourselves." Maya suggested and the rest agreed. But as the four elementals exited the classroom, they failed to notice to shadowy figures lurking in the corridor until they were nearly blown to piece as beams of red light shot through the darkness. As exhausted as Maya was, she knew a danger when she saw one and she quickly drew her wand and cast a protective bubble around them.
"Gin, keep this bubble intact. Blaise, go get Snape. Draco, it's time to practice our intertwining magic."
The elementals nodded and went off to do their tasks. Maya gripped Draco's hand tightly as she yelled out into the darkness.
"Stupefy!"
"Bombarda!"
As the two elementals dueled their attackers, Maya had to grip onto Draco to stop herself from falling over.
Maya? You alright?
I'm exhausted – Don't think I can keep up this fight much longer…
We have to do our wandless magic. Expelliarmus. Ready?
Ready.

3 "Expelliarmus!"
The soulmates cried, hiding behind Ginny's shield as the whole corridor was blown to smithereens.
"Lumos." A voice said, lighting up the entire hallway. Maya turned, a smile blooming across her face.
"Luna." She breathed, embracing her friend. "What are you doing here?"
Luna smiled serenely. "I found an infestation of wrackspurts near here before. I was walking along when I heard voices. Did my shield do anything?"
"Your shield?" Maya asked, puzzled.
"Oh! It was you," Ginny exclaimed, embracing her. "My shield charm went down just before the explosion happened." Ginny explained sheepishly.
"What happened here?" Professor McGonagall gasped as she rushed to the scene followed by Flitwick and Sprout. "That is a question I think we'd all like to find out."Snape drawled, eyes sweeping over the four.
"We were exiting the dungeons when we were attacked by some people. I think they were trying to stupefy us. Draco and I dueled them and then we tried to disarm them, and…yea." Maya finished lamely while Draco snickered behind his hand.
The great and almighty Maya Longbottom has been reduced to "yea". What will become of the world now?
Shut it Malfoy.
"That doesn't explain why there are five of you." McGonagall stated, confused.
"Draco and Maya were dueling, I was protecting them, and Blaise had gone to get Professor Snape. Luna was just walking by when the explosion happened, and she shielded us because my shield had just gone down." Ginny explained sheepishly, blushing under the Professor's the Headmistress nodded."Well then, 20 points to Slytherin and Gryffindor and 10 to Ravenclaw. Who are your attackers?"
The 4 shrugged, while Luna merely hummed to herself.
"These brats." Snape grunted, dragging two boys out of the hole Draco and Maya had made in the hallway.
Gryffindor?
Maya gasped. It was- "Finnegan. Weasel." Draco boys were covered in cuts and bruises and it was obvious Maya and Draco's spell hit them hard. Their wands were both covered in soot, and they seemed to be gasped.
"But...But it's impossible!"
"Is it though?" Snape snarled "Weasley has fallen out with Ms Longbottom at the start of the year. He used her for homework several times during his Hogwarts career. They have both hated Draco since their first year and probably hate Blaise for being a slimy Weasley was probably not meant to be hurt and Mr Finnegan was probably just along for the ride."
Maya had to admit that it was probably true. Snape's explanation made a lot of , a wave of fatigue washed over her. "Draco.." She said weakly before she collapsed onto the ground, the darkness enveloping before she fell into the darkness, she saw Draco collapse as well before everything went black.
That's it for now!
