Ch.15- Danger!
Sarah read Oliver's letter with much anguish. She thought that he would react this way, but hoped that he wouldn't have. She put the letter away, and sat by herself for awhile. How could Oliver be losing his trust in her? She valued his opinion above everyone else's. She knew that she had really hurt him, because the letter was so formal (compared to his other letters). He really did love her, but she had hurt him so badly. Why? Why had she done this to him? Her thoughts were interrupted by someone bumping into her. It was a third year student, and she was reading The Daily Prophet. The girl gasped an apology and ran away dropping the newspaper. Sarah picked it up and read the headline (and story):
You-Know-Who Attacks Again
By: Lucy Sugarrush
Recently You-Know-Who (and his Death Eaters) has been attacking Ministry officials. Killing three so far. The Head of the Ministry (Fudge) had this to say, "People are over-reacting. We don't even know if You-Know-Who is behind these attacks. Frankly, I am not worried. You shouldn't rely on hear- say and rumors." But this reporter disagrees with Mr. Fudge. Many believe that he is gradually taking back all his power.
He wants to get his revenge on Harry Potter, no doubt. So Harry if you're reading this, please by careful. The headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft of Wizardry said, "Harry, or any other student at this school, is not in any kind of danger. We do everything we can to make sure of that fact." We hope that he is right.
As we all know, Harry has survived several visits from You-Know-Who. We only hope that if he were to meet him again he would do the same.
Sarah threw the paper down. Hopefully Harry will never see that. She went down to see Harry and Ron (because Hermione was in the library studying for the O.W.L.'s). She was too late, because Harry was reading the story. "How do they know all this about me?" No one had an answer.
*Draco's POV*
He saw her. What could he do? Just seeing her was like torture. She didn't smile anymore, but rather had a very serious look on her face (as those who are stuck in thought). He sighed. He looked away from her.
Draco had also read the story. He knew why Sarah was so concerned, but he didn't care about Potter. He was worried about Sarah, because this just added to the stress she was under. He wished after seeing her face that he never would have told her what he felt. But he did, because he had to know. If he didn't know how she felt soon he felt as though he would explode.
Sarah tried to calm Harry down, because she felt that she must. While she was calming him down Oliver and Draco never crossed her mind. Which was a temporary relief. When she had finally calmed him down, she sat and began to eat. Slowly, but surely, thought of Oliver and Draco came rushing back. She finally came to the conclusion: write Oliver again. So that's what she did.
Oliver,
I am truly sorry for hurting you. That was never my intention. And you're probably right; Draco could never love me as you have. Your love was my first, and so I will always compare you to anyone (if that is what it comes to). I do love you, and I would never cheat on you. I'm sorry that you believe you can't trust me. I do truly love you.
Yours no matter what,
Sarah
She sent it, and didn't expect a reply. She knew that she probably wouldn't, and that wasn't what bothered her now. She was looking out the window and saw a skull in the sky. That is what bothered her. Then she saw them. A group of adults with hoods and masks walking towards the school. Not far behind them was one man, and he was hideous. She could see the pleasure on his face even from where she was. She was the first to see him, and the last...
Note- Cliffhanger! I like this chapter, even though it's really short! Do you? Then let me know why or why not. Thanks.
