Chapter 2: Quite a Lot of Action
Stunned wouldn't describe me. Nor would shocked. I could hardly believe that Draco Malfoy was pointing a wand at me. And then I realized why. Sending my Nightshade 3 into a Wronski Feint, I pulled up just in time to see a blast of light come out of Draco's wand and hit a Death Eater. "STUPEFY!" I yelled at another. In a matter of minutes, Draco and I had stunned six Death Eaters. As the last two fell and hit the ground unconscious, I realized that Draco Malfoy had just saved my life-and I have never even spoken to him.
I flew to where he was and jumped gracefully off my broom. We just kind of looked at each other for a moment before I said simply one word, "Thanks." He nodded and looked towards the unconscious Death Eaters. "I think we should get out of here before they wake up," he suggested.
"That might be a good idea," I replied, smiling. So we both mounted our brooms and flew towards Malfoy Manor. Getting bored with the slow speed we were traveling at, I leaned as far forward as possible and shot off. The wind was whipping my hair, and everything was blurry. As I neared the Manor, I looked back-only to discover that Draco Malfoy was right behind me, a huge grin on his face-he was obviously enjoying the ride. I dove down into a Wronski Feint, and he dove with me. We both pulled up inches from the ground. He stopped and hovered, but I kept pulling up until I completed a flip. The expression on his face as I came back down to his level was indescribable. I merely laughed it off and flew to the front porch. We walked in and heard our mothers talking-most likely in the kitchen. "Where is the nearest fireplace?" I asked Draco. He led me to a room that was surprisingly cheery. You'd think it would belong in Hogwarts, not Malfoy Manor.
He pointed to a jar, "The floo powder is in there."
I nodded my thanks and tapped three times on a brick right above the fireplace. A head popped up and said, "How may I help you?"
"Auror Headquarters please," I said quickly. With a pop the head disappeared and another took its place.
"Name please?"
I hoped this would work, "Callie Avalante. I need to speak to my father, Joe Avalante." The head nodded and disappeared.
In moments my father's head was visible, "What's the trouble Callie?"
"About eight Death Eaters just attacked Draco and myself at the pitch."
My father raised an eyebrow and looked to Draco who nodded. "And the status of the said Death Eaters?" He questioned.
Draco spoke up before I could, "Unconscious, sir."
My father nodded, "OK, thank you Callie, we'll take care of it. And you two stay where you are for now."
He disappeared and I just looked at Draco for a moment, taking in his surprisingly good looks-from the stormy silver eyes to his white-blonde hair and his muscled, athletic, "Quidditch" body. He smirked and raised an eyebrow questioningly. I explained, "I heard that you were 'exceptionally good looking'," I paused for a moment as he smiled a devilish smile, "and it appears that they were-" I was cut off by a huge boom coming from in front of the house. Narcissa screamed and Draco paled. In seconds I heard my mother pulling Narcissa to the nearest window to see what was going on. I felt a hand take mine and looked up surprised, to see Draco. He put a finger to his lips and led me quietly upstairs, down twisting halls, and finally up another flight of stairs to a door. He touched the knob and the door opened. He pushed me inside ahead of him and locked the door back behind us. I realized I must be in his room. He didn't explain anything, just went through another door and motioned for me to stay. I took the opportunity to look around his room. It was surprisingly neat-the colors were, most obviously Slytherin colors-silver and green. His bed was made, but not by a house elf-it looked like he'd made it himself. Suddenly, everything was quiet. And then I heard two screams-one from Narcissa and one from my mother. Both were cut short. Silence ensued. Draco came back. He looked at me, and then crossed over so he was standing in front of me. "They're.." I nodded, knowing what he was trying to say, hot tears threatening to fall. He hugged me tight and then pulled back and held out his hand. He held a necklace-it was a pure sterling silver chain necklace with a dragon on it. I took it, uncertain as to why he wanted me to have it. He spoke quickly, "Always wear this-never take it off," I nodded, "You can't fight them-they'll kill you because you are an Avalante. They will merely take me and make me join their side. Run-get out of here. Change your name and finish your last year at school if you like, but you MUST leave this manor now. If you don't leave now you'll never leave. It's a long story-look it up in a library one day when you are far away from here and safe. But go...you have to go." I looked up at him, "What about my father?" He shook his head, "You have to stay clear of him too. I'll tell him you got away when I get the chance. I'll be finishing my last year at Hogwarts no matter what happens today. Go to Dumbledore, he can help you. But you have to get out of here." He looked towards the door, people; Death Eaters and most likely Voldemort himself were coming up the stairs now. "Run." He said, and I nodded. I grabbed my Nightshade 3 and went onto his balcony. I put the Dragon necklace on and said, "Thank you, Draco." And I flew away as fast as I could, putting trees and miles behind me before I even looked back. And when I did look back, Malfoy Manor towered in the distance, bleak and forbidding. I turned my broom in the direction I knew I must go-to Hogwarts. To Dumbledore. To Safety.
A/N: The food fight will be in chapter three. I'm sorry, but I felt like adding this in to make the plot a little more interesting. I know this is an odd chapter, but a LOT will be explained in chapter three, I promise. And for those of you that don't get it, Narcissa and Callie's mom were put out of action. I'm not saying they are dead, but I'm not saying they are alive either. What do you think? Anyways please please please REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
