A/N : Sorry the chapters haven't been to long, I really didn't know what to write about. Now I have a pretty good story line to follow, so this one should be longer. J I hope you all enjoy it and I looove reviews. J
I fell to my knees, praying that I wasn't truly seeing what my eyes were showing. Draco lifted me to my feet and supported me, I could tell he was just as shaken from it as I. I turned to him and, in the most pleading voice I had said, "This is just a dream, right? I'm going to wake up, and this won't be happening." By this time I was crying, I looked back over to where Draco was staring and I saw it was true, and this wasn't a dream. Hogwarts was burning down. Well, a portion of it was on fire.
Just then a group of girls came screaming past yelling something that sounded like "No one can stop it!"
I shook my head and pushed away from Draco, "What do you think they're talking about." I stared at Draco's fear ridden face and the sweat pouring down his normally cool face.
"It's happening.." his voice was so apathetic it was more frightening then the fire itself.
"What do you mean 'It's happening'?! The school is on fire! Did you know this was going to happen?" I tried my best to keep from crying again when he snapped out of his daze and looked at me.
"The fire looks like it's moving quickly, it's only time before it reaches," he gulped and looked down at me, "your dorm."
With the sound of those words I fell to the ground again only to pick myself right back up and run towards the front of the castle. As I ran I could hear Draco's voice faintly yelling to me in the background, but I didn't care. All I cared about was getting to the Great Hall and seeing Harry and Ron, and Ginny too. I could just see our reunion, us hugging and laughing and hugging some more. I started crying again.
I stopped just outside the front doors, I was shaking and soaked with sweat, but I didn't care, I just wanted to know that my friends were ok. Then I saw Ginny. I ran up to her and wrapped my arms around her, she asked me if I was alright and handed me a glass of water. I drank it quickly, smiled at her and she smiled back. She could tell what I wanted.
"No one has seen Harry or Ron, and they aren't letting kids inside the building, to much smoke they say." She gave me a sympathetic look. "I wouldn't go in there anyway, I mean, the fire can't be put out by magic, some weird type of spell they say."
I stared at her for a bit, then I dropped the glass into the grass, "I need to find them, they've been my best friends for 5 years, and they've saved me from some of the most horrid things I could imagine. It's the least I can do Ginny." I hugged her tightly one more time and sighed. Not knowing that I wouldn't see her again for the next few weeks.
I ran into the castle. Smoke filled my lungs as soon as I opened the door. I coughed a bit and a few ghosts ordered me to leave. But I just stared at them and they sighed and let me pass.
I ran to the main staircase, I could see the glow of the flames at the top, I pulled my wand out of my pocket and a handkerchief from the other then covered my mouth with it. I closed my eyes, prayed for my life, and jumped into the flames.
