Chapter 18 Who IS James?
"GET AWAY from them!" Aphelia heard someone yelling. She tried to get up but something heavy was on her.
"Herm? Where am I? I can't see, can you hand me my glasses?" Aphelia managed to ask through all the yelling and crashes. When she didn't feel the metal of her glasses touch her soft Palms she reached to grab them herself, but when she put the on she noticed that they were cracked.
"Aphelia! Lay DOWN!" she heard Hermione yell, and then she heard another clunk. Not too long after that she heard Madam Pomfrey shooing them away, then she heard her gasp.
"APHELIA! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" she yelled. Aphelia scratched her head, she still couldn't see anything through her glasses.
"Nothing, I just woke up. I can't see anything, do you have my contacts with you?" she asked.
"Yea, sure!" Madam Pomfrey answered as she handed Aphelia some contacts, " If you didn't do it, then who did?"
"Do what?" she asked as she put her contacts in, but Madam Pomfrey didn't have to answer, for Aphelia had finally noticed the stabbed Draco laying on top of her. She quickly started screaming and crying, and Madam Pomfrey had to give her a potion to make her go to sleep before she would stop.
Aphelia had gotten out of the hospital that night after the potion had worn off, but she couldn't help still feeling like she had died in side of herself. She had become sickly pale again, and was having hourly visits to the Hospital Wing. She hadn't been to ask Hermione what had happened yet, for she couldn't find Hermione anywhere, and neither could Harry, but Ron had some news on how they might find Hermione.
"Hermione came running into the Common Room earlier today, and I didn't pay any attention at the time to what she said, but now it all makes sense!" Ron said as he sipped some Pumpkin Juice.
"What does?" Aphelia asked impatiently. Harry put his arm over her shoulder in a comforting sort of way.
"This is REALLY good!" he exclaimed, but quickly shut up when he noticed the glares Aphelia was giving him, "Oh! Right! She said that Draco had been cured from this weird name curse that was put on both of you, and he had gone to wake you up, and he ran into this guy named James…" Aphelia gasped at the name and her eyes filled with hate, "You know him? Well they got into it and he said a bunch of stuff, and the next thing you know…POOF! Hermione was gone!" Ron said, using his weird hand gestures to assist what he was saying.
"So, If I find James I can BET Hermione will be there with him!" Aphelia said, and she started to take off her Robes and ended up in her matching green and silver matching outfit. She then started to head out onto the front grounds of Hogwarts. She didn't care that it was passed dark; NOBODY was going to stop her from getting her best friend.
"Aphelia wait! You are NOT going to go find him! ESPECIALLY by yourself!" She heard Harry call. She turned around and glared at him. No she wasn't insane, just pissed off.
"Oh? And YOUR going to stop me?" she said as she used her mind to make Harry tie his own hands behind his back, "Aw, I know! Life's a bitch, and so am I! Sorry Bro, but I got my best friend to save!" she said and she walked off, putting her fingers up to her temples. *James, you've been a VERY bad boy!* she sent to him, still searching where he was hiding. *Aphelia. SO nice to get some thoughts from you, I've got a friend here waiting for you!* he said, and she knew he was implying to Hermione. *hey! I have an idea! How about you tell me where you are and I'll come and get her!8 she sent, trying to sound cocky. She had managed to send some feeling with her thoughts, though she hadn't learned how to send pain yet, which she wished she had been practicing at this moment. *two words, Whomping Willow!* and with that Aphelia was off. She knew about the Whomping Willow, from her brothers escapades, and had gotten there in no time. She pressed the knot in the root, and entered, but she should've been more cautious, for the second she entered she was knocked out cold.
"GET AWAY from them!" Aphelia heard someone yelling. She tried to get up but something heavy was on her.
