My Last Breath
Part Six

**FLASHBACK** After days, probably even weeks, of being locked up in the cellar and having to deal with Voldemort's torture I had started losing my mind. I was hallucinating and waking night after night because of nightmares. One night I started crying. I felt so helpless and I was worried. I didn't know what they were planning. I cried myself to sleep and only awoke when I heard whispers. I opened my eyes and was staring into a pair of hazel green eyes.

"Josie?" "Yes it's me. Shh. we're almost out." I nodded and cradled my head into the arms that were holding me.
**END FLASHBACK**

Harry persuaded me to stay one additional night. But instead of settling at the Leaky Cauldron I stayed at the Burrow. I sat in Ron's bedroom; he had volunteered to share it with me for the night. He sat at a desk in his room.

"So? What do you guys do around here for fun?" I asked him. He turned to face me. "Nothing." "Ron, I know you hate me but-" "I don't hate you, Draco. Stop flattering yourself." "I'll try." I chuckled. "So what are you doing?" I asked him after a few minutes of silence. "I'm writing." I nodded and laid down staring at the ceiling. Thinking.

**FLASHBACK** I opened my eyes to screaming I looked around just as my carrier set me down behind a shelf of some kind. I looked at him, "Hagrid?" "Shh. you stay put." And then he disappeared. Soon after I was joined by Granger and Josie. "Josie please stay back here." "But I want to help." "You can't you don't have magic." "I can't just sit back here and do nothing." "Take care of Draco." And she to disappeared. "Josie?" she sat next to me and put her arms around me. "Are you ok?" she asked me looking me over. I nodded. "I'm so sorry this is happening." "It's not your fault." I responded weakly.

"Josie?" "Yes?" "I love you."

She didn't say anything back. She just leaned in and kissed me. The kiss was broken as suddenly as it started. The next think I knew I was being dragged out of my hiding place and was face to face with Voldemort once again.

"How did they find you Draco?" "I don't know." "HOW DID THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PLACE?!?" "I don't know." He raised his hand and brung it hard across my face. I stumbled to the floor and heard yelling. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!" Voldemort looked in Josie's direction. "You must be the girlfriend." He motioned for his followers to let her go. "And what if I am?" He put his hand out for her to shake. "Bite me." "A little rude aren't we? Tell me, Josie right?" She didn't respond. "Josie. Tell me, how did you find this place. And don't lie to me or your little boyfriend will pay." "Harry had papers that said where you were and what your plans were." "And where is Harry Potter?" "I ate him." Some of the people in the room laughed even I managed a small chuckle. "Not very wise." He grabbed her by the hair and dragged her towards me. Then he whispered into her ear. "Say your farewells."

Josie looked at him. "You can't kill him. I wont let you." Voldemort laughed. "Who said I was going to kill him?" Josie looked at me and helped me up. She hugged me and whispered "I did this for you." when she pulled away I saw tears fall down her cheek. I was grabbed by Crabbe and Goyle and dragged away. Josie stood in the middle facing Voldemort. "It's rather sweet how you're sacrificing yourself for him. Stupid. but sweet." "You're just jealous because no one loves you." He sneered at her and she bowed. "Give me your best shot almighty one." She said mocking him.

"NO! JOSIE!" I tried struggling but soon had about 5 people restraining me. She looked at me and mouthed 'I'm sorry." Voldemort pulled out a dagger. I didn't understand I would have thought he'd kill her using magic. He walked toward her. "It was nice meeting you." he stuck the dagger in her.

"NO!!"

He dug it in deeper and pulled it out. And let her fall to the floor. "Let him go." They released me and I ran over to her. "Josie? Josie?" I wasn't ready to accept her death. So I sat there holding her and crying. "Pathetic." I heard Voldemort say behind me.
**END FLASHBACK**

I shot out of bed. "Draco are you ok? I looked at Ron as he sat up in bed. "Yea, just had a bad dream go back to sleep." Ron nodded, yawned and went back to sleep. I lay back down and cried.
