Harry Potter and the New Marauders
Questions and Answers
"Wh-where am I?"
Kelly awoke to find herself in the Hospital Wing, with a huge headache.
"Ah, I see you are awake."
"Heather, what in bloody hell is going on?"
Heather was sitting in a chair right beside her bed, and she saw Ron, Hermione, and Harry had fallen asleep in the other chairs. She looked out a window to see a crescent moon outside.
"I'm not really sure myself. All we know is that a lot of the Slytherins were either captured by those two Death Eaters, along with a few Hufflepuff second years, or they are in here."
Kelly sighed for a moment, so it hadn't been a dream after all. Then she realized something.
"Heather, what happened to Draco?"
"Oh, him. He's over there. Why are you worried about HIM anyway?"
"He saved me!"
"WHAT?!"
"When we were being chased by those Death Eaters and the possessed students, he saved me when I fell on the ground."
"That doesn't seem like him, doing something nice, and to YOU of all people."
Kelly gave her a glare, and Heather looked a little scared for a second.
"What's wrong with you? I was only joking!"
Kelly didn't say anything, but then she got out of her bed and walked over to the bed where Heather had told her where Draco was sleeping, he was still in a coma after being hit with those Stunning Spells. He looked in serious pain, and Kelly winced when he touched his hand. His fingers were ice cold, as if the kiss of death had already passed by him.
"Draco."
Her vision became blurry as salty tears started to form in her eyes.
"This is my entire fault.If he hadn't been trying to protect me then he wouldn't be hurt."
"You're making him sound like he was your best friend. He hates us, remember?"
"No, he was going to."
"Going to what?"
"He was about to tell me something, but before he could tell me the Death Eaters came and attacked us. I never got a chance to ask him what he was saying beforehand."
Heather had a very confused look on her face, she knew her friend was odd sometimes, but this was ridiculous. Could it be that Kelly possibly had FEELINGS for Draco? No way!
Before Heather could say another word, Draco stirred, and he slowly came to.
"Ke-Kelly?"
"Draco, you're alright!"
He smiled, and then she hugged him, with Heather staring at her, rolling her eyes.

"Alright Draco. We want answers. Now."
Once Draco had awoken, Hermione, Ron, and Harry woke up. Now Hermione was questioning Malfoy, to see if Kelly's story of him "helping her" was actually true.
Draco sighed, and then he put his head up.
"All right. It goes like this. Once You-Know-Who had fled from the Ministry of Magic, my father wanted me to join with him, along with my mother. Luckily for me, my mom and I didn't want any part in the Dark Arts, so we fled from home to see Dumbledore. Once we explained the situation to him, he said it was okay to send her son to Hogwarts. My mother is working undercover in Hogsmeade at Honeydukes. But ever since these attacks, my mom has been really worried. Once Heather and that young first year were attacked, I knew that they knew I was here. I kept a watch on you, because for some reason the Death Eaters have chosen Kelly, Heather, and myself as its new targets. I also believe that they are after you as well, Granger. Weasley. Potter."
There was an awkward silence for a few minutes as the group pondered about what they should to. They didn't want innocent people getting hurt.
"I suggest that we always try to stay with at least one of another person here, that way it will be harder for the Death Eaters to capture us."
Ron got up all of a sudden.
"Harry, guys, how can we trust him? How do we know he isn't working for You- Know-Who himself? He could be setting a trap for us all!"
"Yes, your red-haired friend has a point."
Kelly then got up and said,
"I trust him. He wouldn't have saved me if he wasn't a good person at heart. I believe his story."
The others looked at each other, and then Harry got up right in front of Draco. There was suspense at to what he would do. Then he stuck out a hand, and said,
"Only for a little while. But if we find out you have been working for Voldemort, I will have the honor of killing you myself. Got it, Malfoy?"
Draco stuck out his hand as well, and as they shook, he said,
"Deal."
Kelly smiled as they shook hands, while Ron didn't look all too happy. Oh well.
"Hey wait a minute, Harry, did you bring me and Draco to the Hospital Wing?"
"No, did you Ron?"
"No, Hermione, was it you?"
"It couldn't have been me, it must have been Heather."
"No it wasn't me."
"Then who was it?"
"It was me," said a voice from behind them.
"Snape?" "That's Professor Snape, Miss McDonald."
"But how?"
"Well, Miss Meglin, as I was on my way to my office, I heard someone scream. I ran to where I heard the scream and I saw the two Death Eaters stun you. I chanted a spell and was able to knock one of them out. However, the other took their fallen partner, along with quite a few Slytherins, and apparated right out of the castle. I don't know how, but they did somehow. I then took you and Mister Malfoy to the Hospital Wing, and then the rest of the teachers took the stunned students to the Hospital Wing for medical attention."
"But why?"
"I am a teacher, Miss McDonald. It is my duty to do so."
Now Harry and the others really thought this was a joke. First Death Eaters managed to apparate in and out of the castle grounds, Draco saved Kelly, and now they found out Snape had helped Kelly and Draco. At least positive things were coming out of this situation.
"Now then, Professor Dumbledore wants to see you all in his office immediately."
The students walked down the hallway, and they were quite an unlikely group. Two Slytherins, four Gryffindors, and the Potions teacher, quite a pair. When they reached the gargoyle statue, Snape said,
"Candied Sugar."
The statue then moved, revealing stairs to go up to Professor Dumbledore's office. Harry and the others had been in their plenty of times; some good, some bad. As they walked up the stairs, they all thought to themselves, I wonder why Dumbledore called all of us up to his office. I hope it is nothing serious. When they opened the door, they saw Professor Dumbledore, sitting at his desk.
"Harry, Hermione, Heather, Ron, Draco, and Kelly. Although it is always a pleasure to see you, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you all."
"What's wrong, Professor Dumbledore?"
"All of these attacks, the students are petrified. No, not by a spell, Mr. Weasley. I'm afraid that I must send the entire first, second, third, and fourth year students home. The rest of you, fifth, sixth, and seventh, we are going to need you."
"Need us for what, Professor?" Harry asked.
"To fight. The Second War is coming."
