Harry Potter and the New Marauders

Danger Approaches

It had been a week since the "attack" on Heather and Dylan, and it was all the school could talk about. People kept coming up to her to ask questions about what had happened. She was in an uncomfortable state because of all the attention she was getting from these people who before then never knew she had existed. Kelly was also having some problems of her own. Draco kept following her wherever she went, and she was sick of it. So, she decided to talk to Draco one-on-one. She went into the Slytherin common room, and she saw him leave his gang to go up to the dormitories. She followed him up there, and making sure no one else was there, she went into his dormitory.

"Well well, what a surprise. You're actually in our common room. I'm surprised; I thought you ought to have switched to Gryffindor by now."

"Shut up, Malfoy. Now why are you and you're gang following me? I'm sick and tired of finding you behind me when I'm walking down a corridor to class."

Draco had a strange look on his face, almost as if he didn't know what to say to her. Kelly gave him a confused look, and he finally talked.

"I don't really have anything else to do since this whole 'attack,' and I needed some entertainment."

"Why don't I believe you? Even I can tell that you are lying. Now why are you following me? And why alone? I never see Crabbe or Goyle with you whenever you're following me."

Draco hid his face from her, and did she see a hint of a red tinge to his cheeks? He was blushing? Why?

"Draco, is there something you aren't telling me?"

Draco hesitated, and then he placed his hands on top of hers. Kelly blushed like mad, however.

Why am I blushing? What is this feeling? Do I have feelings for.Draco? No way! That's impossible!

As Draco started to speak, there was a crash from the living room, and a girl screamed.

"Come on, we have to hide."

"But."

"There's no time to talk, just come on!"

Draco grabbed Kelly and he shoved her into a closet, and he closed the door behind him as quietly as he could. He held Kelly close to his chest, and she could hear his heart beating. Thu-Thump. Thu-Thump. Kelly felt her face go red as Draco was looking through a crack in the door, making sure no one could see them.

"Draco."

"Ssh, it'll be alright. Just keep quiet for now," Draco whispered.

Just then she heard a crash, and it was the door to the dormitories. It had been knocked down. Inside came in two Death Eaters, their hoods up so no one could see their faces. They were carrying a young third year on their shoulders, the girl was unconscious; she probably had been stunned from behind like Dylan had been. Draco pulled Kelly closer to him, her head resting on his firm shoulder. The Death Eaters searched around the room, as if looking for something. Then in came some seventh year Slytherins, pointing to Draco's dormitory. They looked in pain, and they realized that they were under the influence of the Cruciatious Curse, one of the three Forbidden Curses.

"Kelly, get out your wand. We might need it very soon," Draco whispered as soft as he possibly could.

Kelly nodded, and not just a second after they both drew their wands did the door suddenly fly off the hinges towards the Death Eaters. Draco and Kelly scrambled out, and they ran out of the room just barely passing the Death Eaters. Just as they got back to the living quarters, Kelly gasped. All the Slytherins who were in the common room were unconscious, and many were bleeding badly.

"Oh my god! Did they do that to all of them? But how?"

"I don't know. We have to get them to the Hospital Wing, now!"

"But how are we going to get all of them to the Hospital Wing?"

"You won't," a voice from behind them said.

Draco and Kelly turned around to find the two Death Eaters, along with the seventh years, standing behind them, wands pointed at them. Draco got in front of Kelly, and he whispered,

"I'll need your help."

"So now you need my help."

"Fight now, joke later." "Fine, whatever."

They drew their wands, and together they yelled,

"EXPELLIARMUS!"

Two big flashes of light erupted from their wands and hit the Death Eaters, sending them flying backwards into the wall. One of them yelled,

"Kill them!"

One of the older students drew his wand and exclaimed,

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

Kelly and Draco managed to dodge it, but then the fallen Death Eaters joined them, and all of the students joined in. deciding to make a run for it, they tried to reach the door to the painting. As they ran out of the room, they ran for Professor Snape's office.

"Professor!"

No one answered, and Draco heard a scream from behind him. Kelly had been hit by an Expelliarmus spell, and her left hand (not her wand hand) was bleeding severely.

Draco ran to her side, and he managed to knock out the students using an Impedimenta charm. Running to the potions dungeon, the two teenagers ran for their life.

"Draco, we have to find Snape! Or Dumbledore! Or someone!"

Draco nodded as they continued running down the stairs to the Dungeons room.

"Look out!"

The Death Eaters were attacking them again, and there didn't seem to be anybody around!

"Where is everyone? We should have run into someone by now!"

Then as they turned a corridor, they gasped. Many students lay on the floor, they were put under a simple sleeping spell. Kelly tried to shake them awake, but nothings seemed to be working.

"We have to find someone, or else everyone is going to get hurt!"

Where is anyone? We need help! Now! Please, someone, help us! Heather, if you can hear me, send some help! Slytherin is under attack by Death eaters! Please help us! *~*~*~*

Heather was in the Gryffindor common room when all of a sudden she received a distress call from Kelly!

"Hang on Kelly; let's hope we'll get there in time!"

*~*~*~*

As Kelly and Draco were still running from the Death Eaters, they were catching up with the young witch and wizard! They were exhausted from running and dueling with them, and their bodies would give out soon if they didn't get some rest! Turning a sharp corner, they were able to rest for a bit.

"Are you okay?"

"My arm, it won't stop bleeding. Draco, it's fine, don't worry."

Draco took one look at her arm, the gash in her arm was deep and bleeding severely, and then to Kelly's face. He ripped his shirt and tore the cloth, then wrapped it tightly around her wound.

"Draco."

"Don't worry about it."

Kelly looked into his eyes, and as he was about to say something, they heard a menacing laugh. The same one Heather had heard a week before.

"What a touching moment."

"Show yourself!"

"No thanks! I'm fine where I am!"

Suddenly there was a flash of light from behind them and it was headed straight for Kelly! Draco threw himself in front of it and saved Kelly, and as he fell unconscious in her lap, he whispered,

"Go quick."

"Draco, don't! C'mon, don't leave me here like this! Please, wake up, wake up Draco!"

As Kelly screamed for Draco to wake up, she heard the voice chant a spell, and she looked all around, not knowing where it would hit her from. The last thing she remembered was a blast hitting her on the back of her neck, and she blacked out.
