Chapter 22 Draco's Eyes
"James you bastard!" she yelled, running through the hallway that lead to Slytherin Tower. She didn't care that some of the Slytherin's had heard her, in fact she hoped they did! The Slytherin's loved her, and she hated James, so she felt that they should too!
"Aphelia wait!" she heard Draco call. She stopped and turned into him. Looking into his eyes she asked herself how she could have ever hated him.
"Draco! We have to hurry! James read my thoughts and now he is going to kill Hermione!" she cried. Draco swept her up and kissed her, "I'm SERIOUS Draco! We have to go NOW!" she yelled as she pulled away, and the two of them ran off towards the Owlry.
"Aphelia!" she heard Hermione scream as she entered the Owlry. She ran as fast as she could to get to them.
"I'm right here Hermione!" she yelled. James spun around and faced Draco and Aphelia.
"Aphelia? You've found out my plan?" was all that James asked. Aphelia placed her hands on her hips in a superior sort of way.
"Yes I have James, but I'm not the only one who found out a plan. You found mine out too, didn't you?" she asked. James smirked. *Why does that smirk seem so familiar?* she asked herself.
"Yes, I read your mind also Aphelia. You were going to go back on your word. I saw you looking for Draco, so I decided to execute my plan!" he said as he dropped Hermione out of the window.
"NO!" she screamed as she ran and dived out of the window after her. She heard James and Draco fighting in the Owlry above them, in fact she even heard the owls, but she could neither see nor hear Hermione. Floating herself to a gentle landing, she searched the ground for Hermione, "Herm? Where are you?" she whispered. She heard something land behind her, "I'll hurt you!" she whispered as she turned and faced her brother with Hermione in his arms.
"You will, will you?" Harry teased. Aphelia smiled brightly and hugged onto her brother and Hermione.
"How, but, HOW did you know?" Aphelia asked, though she was short of breath. Hermione shrugged.
"The Marauders Map! It had You four on the map, so I decided to come after you. When I saw Hermione falling from the window I summoned my broomstick and flew up after her!" he explained.
"So clever Harry! SO clever!" Aphelia said as she hugged onto him, "I want you both to stay down here! May I borrow your broomstick Harry?" she asked. Harry reluctantly handed it to her.
"But, you don't even know how to fly!" he said, but was soon proven wrong when she flew up and through the window. When she entered she jumped off the broom, and went to attack James when Draco stopped her.
"What are you doing? I had a CLEAN shot at him!" she yelled as she slapped Draco, who was restraining her.
"I WONT let you hurt him! He's my brother!" he said. Aphelia stopped abruptly and looked into his eyes.
"WHAT?!?" she gasped, hoping that what he said was not true, but she knew it was for Draco's eyes never lied to her.
"James you bastard!" she yelled, running through the hallway that lead to Slytherin Tower. She didn't care that some of the Slytherin's had heard her, in fact she hoped they did! The Slytherin's loved her, and she hated James, so she felt that they should too!
