Harry stayed up all night thinking. He was confused. Very confused. How did she know his name? He didn't recall giving it to her. And why did he recognize her? He knew he'd never seen her before. He finally dozed off at 7:00 AM.

(20 minutes later)

*Bang* Harry get up now! Ron needs you! *Bang Bang*

"Ugh" Harry groaned. He slowly got out of the chair he fell asleep on and walked to the door.

"What now Colin?" he asked impatiently.

(Colin had moved to Egypt to help Harry -- he never seemed to ever leave him alone.)

"There's a duel down in the dining hall!" he said worriedly, "I don't know the details but we needs you, NOW!"

Harry ran down the corridors and staircases behind Colin.

"Colin," Harry asked, "Did you actually see all of this with your own eyes?"

"Yea!" Colin replied, "I was talking with Dennis when all of a sudden someone with a cloak on... I couldn't quite see his face, but who ever it was tried one of the unforgivable curses on Ron!"

Harry looked at Colin worriedly.

"No, no, he's fine, thanks to someone in the crowd who stopped the curse... I never got to catch who it was though. but anyhow, the man who stopped it's now dueling with the man who tried to curse him!"

About a minute later they got their. Harry heard a deep voice call out a spell, "Crucio!" he yelled. Harry pushed through the crowd. "Expeliarmus!" a strong. but not exactly manly voice yelled back. Harry finally got a view of who was fighting. He first saw who Colin said to be "the cloaked figure", who's hood was down now and he saw it was a man who looked about his age with blond hair slicked back perfectly. "Malfoy." he said to himself angrily.

Ever since Lucius Malfoy killed Hermione, Harry's despised Draco even more, if possible, than he had before. "He must have become a death-eater like his father." Harry thought. He then turned his head to the other man... "Oh my god." he said aloud... It's her!

"Flipendo!" the woman yelled, she was sweaty, and a bit bloody from battle. One of her arm sleeves was ripped and had fallen off, and there was a huge tear in her skirt that went up to about nine inches above her knee. The spell she fired almost hit Draco, but he back-fired it at her. It was so fast she had no time to dodge it, and was hit. An excruciating shriek echoed through the room, as she fell to the floor, grasping her arm in agony.

Harry was about to run to her when all of a sudden, out of no where appeared Lucius Malfoy. Harry was just about to tear him into a thousand pieces, but their was some kind of shield that he couldn't get through around the three of them.

"Omorose!" he yelled angrily while running to her. He got down on his knees and grabbed her arm harshly while examining the huge gash in it. "Tis, tis, tis." he said sarcastically, "... You know, you're going to get hurt worse than this if anything like this happens again." he whispered so closely to her ear that it tickled. She tried to pull away from his grasp but was too weak.

Everyone in the crowd just stood there, staring. She started breathing heavily, while grasping her arm to try to stop the bleeding. Lucius didn't seem to notice, nor care for that matter. He touched her chin with his ice cold fingers, "Now, we wouldn't want anything like that to happen to you now, would we?" he asked sneakily while tracing his fingers across her lips. Omorose groaned, for she was too weak to do anything else, she could barely move, she was losing so much blood.

Lucius stood up. "Draco! Come here boy!" he ordered. Draco hurriedly ran over. Lucius pointed a finger at Omorose. "Now look, what you've done!" Omorose was still sitting on the ground, grasping her arm tightly, but the bleeding wouldn't stop; she gave Draco a disgusted look.

"I'm sorry father... It was self-defense... she was trying to ruin our plan!" he gritted through his teeth.

"I don't care about the stupid PLAN Draco! She is our plan!" he whispered angrily. "Now help her up!"

Draco did as he was told and got down on his knees. He leaned over her body and attempted a healing spell, until Lucius stopped him.

"Let's let her. suffer a bit, shall we Draco?. Get was she. deserves???"

Draco seemed more than delighted with this plan. He pick up Omorose, threw her over his shoulder, and with that, they apparated.
