Chapter 16
Felicity sat up, beads of sweat trickling down her face, her mouth surprisingly dry and her body drenched in a cold sweat. The dream had been so real. What had the boy called her? The figlia del guasto was it? Could it be latin?
Shaking her head, Felicity climbed out of bed and headed automatically for the window. Summoning her broom, Felicity changed into robes and slipped out the window into the night, her black robes swirling up dead leaves, and teasing nearby birds.
Felicity tumbled to the ground. She was feeling better and her worries had been pushed out of her mind, but the boys face kept on returning every time she closed her eyes. His face leering at her, his blood-red eyes twinkling maliciously and his white-blonde hair falling carelessly down in front of his face.
Felicity was almost positive that someone had branded his face under her eyelids because as soon as her eyes fluttered shut his face popped up like an avenging angel that had fallen from grace.
Shaking her head slightly, Felicity headed off to the forest to find her peace. Surely she could find something else to think about in there!
*~+~*
Draco awoke with a jolt as he heard a soft noise from beyond the room. Sighing, he pulled his blankets back and went to the window. He was surprised to see a girl in black walking into the forest but even more surprised when he saw three more follow.
Narrowing his eyes Draco recognized the girls as Hermione Granger, Crystal and Anastasia. He sat there for a moment and decided he would get Felicity and then they'd go down to check out what the girls were doing at such a late hour.
Draco quickly changed and went to Felicity's bed only to find she wasn't there. Groaning in frustration Draco racked his brains for where Felicity might be at 2 o'clock in the morning, suddenly it clicked. Felicity had been the girl in black just then!
If the other three girls were up to what Draco thought they were, then he'd better get to Felicity, and fast.
*~+~*
Felicity glided through the forest, humming to herself quietly. She stopped at her favourite lake and disappeared into the shadows as she watched the peaceful scenery.
Suddenly three girls came up to the clearing, wearing confused looks on their faces.
"Where is she!?" demanded the first, bushy-haired girl.
"How am I supposed to know?" the second girl said snobbishly.
"Well, she definitely was here. There's no doubt about it." The third girl sniffed haughtily.
Felicity smiled. They reminded her of Crystal, Hermione and Anastasia. The smile slipped from her face as she looked at the three girls closer. Her eyes widened and her heart nearly stopped. It WAS Crystal, Hermione, and Anastasia!
Felicity dug further into the shadows, careful not to make a sound. All the while the three girls got closer, and closer.
*~+~*
Draco grabbed his broom quickly and flew out the window quickly. Flying low, he scanned the area for any signs of disturbance. Several birds were woken by his flying but Draco merely knocked them out of the way and kept searching.
After about half an hour, Draco spotted a clearing with a bloody Felicity lying in the middle, half unconscious and three girls bearing down on her, wands out, ready to curse her into oblivion.
Draco quickly spiraled downwards, hoping he wasn't too late in stopping the three black witches from desecrating the girl.
*~+~*
Felicity stealthily made her way towards the only exit from the clearing. Using her extra-sensitive eyes Felicity scanned the ground for sticks as she stepped over the various twigs. She didn't know why she could see so well in the dark but it was a gift she was very grateful for.
Glancing up, Felicity observed happily that they were still clueless about her location.
*SNAP!*
Felicity was horrified. She broke into a sprint and proceeded to transform halfway through running. As she turned into an eagle, she soared upwards, away from the angry glares that the girls were sending her.
Before she could clear the treetops, Felicity was shot down by a stunner spell. Blackness swamped her vision and she knew no more.
*~+~*
Crystal aimed carefully and quickly stunned the eagle. Anastasia chuckled softly as the eagle fell to the ground.
"Nice shot Crys." Anastasia quickly went over to the eagle. "The potion won't work unless she's in her human form! ARGH!"
"Relax. If we revive her she's bound to turn back to her human form, right?" Hermione said reasonably before turning to the eagle. "Enervate."
The eagle opened its eyes wearily before slowly changing back into a human. Felicity lay in the spot of the eagle, various bones broken and blood pouring out of a cut on her arm.
"Nice of you to join us. Now we're going to obliviate you, alright?" Crystal said sweetly.
Felicity attempted to sit up but was too sore to move her limbs.
"Well, here goes!" Anastasia flicked her wand quickly. "Obliviate!"
Blackness clouded her memories and a dangerously low voice hissed in her ear like a serpent.
"You went into the forest for a walk and were attacked by wolves. You escaped them and just woke up!" Hermione whispered before stopping her vial and racing out of the clearing.
Crystal looked at Felicity, loathing in her eyes.
"Can't we have some fun with her first?" Crystal whined.
"Oh just a little." Anastasia agreed as the three advanced on the defenceless girl on the ground.
Suddenly a raven scratched all three girls faces. It had darted out of nowhere and was coming around for another attack.
Crystal screamed as she regarded herself in a mirror. She had three deep cuts along her face from one cheek to another, completely devastating her perfectly flawless face.
"WORTHLESS LITTLE RATBAG OF A RAVEN! STUPID BIRD! I'LL SHOW YOU!" Crystal took her wand out from her pocket and pointed it at the bird menacingly. In reply the bird cawed loudly at her mockingly. "BYE BIRD, YOU'RE HAVING IT NOW! AVA-"
Anastasia grabbed the wand out of her friends hand.
"Are you mad?" she hissed.
"What? I was just going to kill the bird! It's a bird for gods sake!" Crystal moaned.
"NO! We're leaving now. You never know. These trees have ears and eyes." Anastasia turned around, three vials, full of blood, in her hands.
*~+~*
Draco transformed out of his raven form and ran to Felicity.
"Felicity! Felicity!" Draco carefully mended her bones slightly and put splints on her arms and legs, mending her wound on her arm.
Felicity opened her eyes groggily. Draco gasped, her eyes were bloodshot, and blood was pouring out of her eyes.
"Close your eyes Felicity. They're bleeding. I'm taking you to the hospital wing. Just relax." Draco quickly sent the girl hovering above the ground, about a metre in front of him.
He quickly got to the hospital wing and collapsed on the ground from fatigue.
"Mr. Malfoy! What has happened to Miss. Lu here?" Madam Pomphrey demanded.
"I saw her going into the forest." Draco stopped as he thought of the three girls that had done this to her. "She was followed by three girls. I don't know who but they didn't look friendly so I decided to fetch her on my broom. I saw the three girls advancing on her while she was semi-conscious and wandless. Her arms AND legs are broken and I mended her arm wound but I came straight here after that."
Madam Pomphrey eyed Draco closely.
"Return to your dorm Mr. Malfoy. Felicity is in good hands."
Draco nodded wearily and went off to his dorm, before collapsing on his bed. He fell asleep almost immediately.
*~+~*
Crystal cackled in glee as the potion bubbled.
"Alright. This potion is to be drunk on the True All-hallows eve. It's New years eve; Official day of our Full Powers Receiving Ceremony. What do the heads call it?" Anastasia shrugged and continued. "Anyway, this potion, combined with blood of Felicity dear will let us wreak havoc on this castle!"
Anastasia's eyes lit up in malice and contempt.
"Just think girls, we are going to be super-powerful!" Hermione said, her eyes shining in anticipation. "Can't wait!"
"Hold up. This drop of Fi's blood will make us extra powerful for one night. When the dawn comes, all extra power will drain but so will Felicity's strength and she'll be compelled to drink up to regain strength." Crystal said, peering into the cauldron.
"This is going to be GOOD! Best thing is we could hang up curtains so that she'll only want to drink in the Great Hall!" Anastasia said, sneering slightly.
*~+~*
Draco slipped out of bed and changed. Grabbing his stuff, he dashed down to the Great Hall, grabbing some toast before going off to the Hospital Wing.
When he arrived, he immediately saw Felicity in the darkest corner. She was deathly pale but her arms and legs were repaired as were her skin wounds.
Draco approached quietly, not wanting to disturb her. He brushed her hair aside affectionately and watched her sleep.
Magicking a plate out of thin air, he placed the toast on the table and placed a warming spell on the toast.
"Get well soon Fi." Draco muttered, before leaving to his first class.
*~+~*
A/N: OUCH! That MUST have hurt. Crystal, too bad you're sooooo vain. OoOoOops! I'm sorry, NOT! :P lol! Hehehehehehehehehehehe! Well, I'm kind of on a writing spree with this thing. Have you guys guessed the identity of TALON? :P You'll get it, if you do I'll be NOT surprised. I've dropped about ten MILLION clues. :P lol! K, till next time on Dhabji!
