Ch.17- Preparing for Battle
The students were growing restless, and very nervous. They were afraid that they would actually be needed, but they were preparing for that.
The teachers were putting up a good fight, but new Death Eaters kept on coming up. They wouldn't be able to hold them off much longer, and they were growing more and more aware of this fact with every new Death Eater that appeared.
Oliver growing more anxious by the minute. Flying as fast as the broom he was on would take him (being careful not to be seen, of course). He was just hoping that Sarah would be safe when he got there. A sudden peace came over him while thinking of Sarah. Nothing bad could happen to her, at least that's what he thought...
Sarah was helping Hermione teach some first years some petrifying charm. She then moved on to the other groups to see how they were coming along. See finally walked over to her group, and was amazed to see Draco and his friends. So were Harry and Ron. Draco smiled at her, and she smiled back. They were testing the charm that disarms your opponent (they were testing it because they already knew it). She was going to check on the group next to them, but Draco grabbed her arm. She turned and looked at him. "I love you, you know that right?" She just looked at his eyes. "I know... and... and I... I have got to go. I'm sorry, but will you excuse me?" He let her go, and turned and very bitterly shot a curse at a nearby wall. Sarah so desperately wanted to tell him that she was sorry, because she still hadn't made up her mind. She turned back to her duty of watching everyone else.
Then came the time that they had been waiting for. They knew it was time because a curse had just come through one of the windows, and it almost landed on the group of third years if they hadn't have used the shield charm. Sarah was really proud of them for it. Sarah stood up on the table she was next to. She charmed her voice again. "I think that it is time that we go and help our brave professors. I have faith in you, and not just because I know some of you, because I don't know a lot of you. It doesn't matter if we weren't friends," she looked down at Pansy," or if we were close friends," she looked at the Gryffindor gang. But her gaze found it's way to Draco and lingered there for a moment," or if we weren't in the same house," she looked around the whole room. "We have come together in this time of need, and I believe that we can pull through it. So let us go now, and know that you will be remembered no matter what happens." She stepped down and wiped her eyes. The students all around the room were staring at her. Their confidence went up as they made their way outside.
Percy had somehow caught up with Oliver. "Oliver slow down. If you don't calm down then you'll have a nervous breakdown, or something." Oliver gave him a cold glare. "How can I calm down? The girl I love is in danger, and she could be dead already!" Tears were falling down his face freely. He wiped them away, and Percy patted is back. "I didn't know you loved her so much. Don't think like that. She can't be dead, and she won't. She has got Dumbledore and all the other professors, and not to mention all her friends. She is completely safe." Oliver shook his head. "You don't know her like I do. She will try to help. She will fight. How are you so calm? You have 3 brothers, a sister, and friends there." Percy just had a small smile on his face. I just have faith in them. And I have hope that they will be fine." Oliver still didn't feel at ease, and he wouldn't until he saw her safe.
Notes- This one is really short, but I have to stretch this out (and I didn't know what else to put). So I apologize for the inconvenience. I wish people would review, because I think that no one likes this story. I am grateful for all the reviews (good or bad), but I am a little disappointed. Oh well. I will update soon.
