Kellie was doing her rounds when she saw Hermione slumped on the wall, and Pansy standing in front of her. "Put your wand down, Miss Parkinson." Pansy turned around and saw Kellie.
"I was doing my duty." Pansy said. Kellie bit her tongue not to say anything back.
"Report to your common room, it's late to be out, even for the squad." Pansy nodded and left. Kellie kneeled down next to Hermione.
"Hermione are you alright?" Hermione's only noise was something of a grunt. "I'm going to take you to the infirmary." She picked Hermione up and carried her to the infirmary. An hour later Hermione woke up. She got up and saw Kellie.
"Hey how are you doing?" Kellie asked
"Good, no one knows about this right?" Hermione replied
"Only me, Madame Pompfrey and Pansy." Kellie said reassuringly
"Keep it that way, please." Hermione said.
"Alright." Kellie said almost reluctantly. Kellie had been in her place before she had met Lily. Having all guys friends and being in love with one of them. Kellie could tell Hermione didn't want Harry to know.
"You know your kind of obvious that you like Harry." Kellie told Hermione.
"What? I don't...it's hard to explain." Hermione said.
"I know." Kellie said. "As hard as it may seem to believe, I've been in your place before." Hermione gave Kellie a weak smile. Kellie handed Hermione a small vial with a purple potion in it.
"This should help you heal faster." Kellie told Hermione.
Emily sat on a bench. Neville walked over to her. "Thanks." He told her.
"For what?" She asked him.
"For helping me with the memories of my parents." Neville said.
"It was no problem." Emily told him.
Ally knocked on Sirius' door. "Your not welcome here." Sirius said with a glare.
"I know." Ally said, walking inside.
"Oh but do please come in." Sirius said sarcastically. Ally picked up her necklace.
"I forgot this." Ally said.
"You could have just owled me about it." Sirius said.
"Whatever." Ally said. Sirius then realized Ally wasn't going to back down.
"I've missed you, you know." Sirius admitted to Ally. Ally looked up at him.
"I've missed you too." Ally said. "It's been really hard without you by my side." Ally admitted to him.
"Want some tea?"
"Yea, that'd be great." Ally said.
Draco ran to the library and saw Harry. "Harry, Ginny... Nott took her."
"What? Let me get the others."
"No time." Draco argued and brought him down to the dungeons. Draco and Harry had both of their wands drawn, gripped very tightly. They opened the door and came face to face with Nott, and Pansy. Ginny was lying on the floor. Harry gulped.
"Any ideas?"
"Get Ginny." Draco proposed. Harry threw a curse at Nott, as he was the biggest threat, being their elder. Draco threw a jinx at Pansy and grabbed Ginny. He was hit in the leg with a curse, that made his right leg feel numb. He looked over to Harry who had a gash across his right arm. "Bloody hell." Draco muttered. He crawled using his left leg to Ginny. He took her pulse she was thankfully still alive. He was hit by curse and all he saw was black.
Harry realized the curse knocked Draco unconscious that Nott had cast at him. Clutching his right arm with his left he threw a jinx at Pansy making her loose control of her balance. Nott threw a curse at him, throwing him across the room, into a book shelf that fell on top of him he heard footsteps and tried to get himself out of the pile of dusty books.
"What happened?" Kellie asked Nott threateningly as she noticed Harry was underneath books, while Ginny and Draco were unconscious. "I was trying to stop their little fight." Kellie nodded, although she seemed unconvinced.
"Alright then, help me get these three to the infirmary." She told him. "You take Mr. Malfoy I'll get Miss Weasley and Mr. Potter."
"What about Parkinson?" Nott asked. Kellie did a simple spell and she regained her leg balance again.
Harry woke up and saw Hermione helping Pompfrey with Draco. Hermione noticed Harry was awake. She walked over to him.
"I see your finally awake." Hermione said.
"I don't remember falling asleep."
"Madame Pompfrey had to give you a potion to make you fall asleep." Hermione told him, he nodded.
"How are Ginny and Draco?"
"Draco got hit pretty bad with that blackout curse, he's still asleep but should wake up in the next hour, Madame Pompfrey said." Hermione told Harry, who nodded. Harry noticed Hermione wince as she bumped into the wall.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked concerned.
"Nothing, I'm fine." Hermione told Harry. Harry grabbed her wrist.
"You'd tell me if something was wrong, right?" Harry asked her. Hermione nodded.
"Of course."
"Wait... you didn't say what happened to Ginny."
"Well she- - they think she might have to be sent to St. Mungos." Hermione told Harry, whose eyes widened.
Draco woke up and walked over to the bed next to his, it was Ginny's. He saw Ron sitting their. "How is she?" Draco asked limping over to her bed.
"Mind you own business Malfoy." Ron said. Draco glared at him.
"Mr. Malfoy! Back into bed!" Madame Pompfrey yelled at him. Draco grunted and got back into his bed.
Later that night Draco walked back over to Ginny's bed only he Ginny and Harry were in the infirmary at the moment. Draco took Ginny's hand.
"Wake up please." Draco said. He held Ginny's hand rubbing her palm with his thumb.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley walked into the infirmary at six o'clock the next morning. Umbridge followed them.
"There she is, we are sending her to St. Mungo's in an hour." Umbridge said. "Mr. Malfoy." She said "Hem, hem." Draco and Harry both jumped up from their sleeping state.
"I -what- Oh hi." Draco said. He stood up and smiled weakly and looked at Harry signaling for him to do something.
"Mr. And Mrs. Weasley why are you here?" Harry asked.
"Oh hello Harry, Honey. Are you alright?" Mrs. Weasley asked. Mr. Weasley was looking Draco up and down. Draco gulped.
"I'm fine, but what are you two doing here."
"We're going with Ginny to St. Mungo's." Mr. Weasley said turning to Harry. Draco looked at Ginny, she was much paler then usual.
Draco, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Emily and Luna stood outside Hogwarts watching as Ginny was brought out of Hogwarts in a levitating stretcher. Hermione put her arms around Harry's neck as she couldn't look at Ginny looking so surreal. They put her into a red and black stripped bus with a siren, which was to take her to St. Mungo's safely.
Draco walked away and Luna ran after him. Emily felt a tear run down her cheek. Ron took her hand and they walked inside.
Harry felt his shirt become damp from Hermione crying. "Hermione." he whispered. "It'll be alright. She'll make it through this." Harry said hugging her. Hermione looked up at Harry.
"It seems like a nightmare. Like I just want to wake up." Hermione said.
"I know." Harry told her.
Draco sat by the lake throwing rocks at it.
"Draco." Luna said softly.
"I let her down." Draco said.
"No you didn't. She's still alive is she not?"
"But...If I had been quicker."
"It was the fates."
"Luna we choose our own path."
"Lets not get into that." Luna said. Draco smirked, but his smirk faded.
"Do you think she'll be alright?" Draco asked.
"Of course." Luna told him.
Emily and Ron sat on one of the moving staircases. Emily had her head rested on Ron's shoulder. Ron had a tear stained face, revealing he had just stopped crying. Ron stood up, Emily looked up at him.
"What?" She asked but he was already gone. Emily ran outside to where Harry and Hermione were. "Ron left, I don't know where he is." She said worried. Harry took out the marauders map.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good." Harry said. He saw Ronald Weasley his footsteps were going at a sprinting past towards the end of the hallway where he would collide with Pansy Parkinson. "Shit." Harry breathed. He handed Hermione the map and he ran towards where Ron was headed for. Hermione and Emily scanned the page for Ron.
"There." Emily pointed at the page at Ron's name.
"There" Hermione said pointing to Pansy Parkinson.
"Oh that's not good." Emily said.
"And to make it worse Umbridge is not far from her." Hermione said. "Harry is taking the long way." Emily said. "If we take this short cut." Emily traced a way to where Ron was with her finger along the parchment. Hermione nodded.
"We'll get right in the middle to Pansy and Ron, lets go." Hermione said. Hermione and Emily raced down the corridor, where they gave the password, butterbeer to a portrait, they slip down to an opening, they opened it and we're put in front of Ron. Emily stood in front of him, he came to a halt.
"Emily move." Ron told her.
"No." Emily said. Ron took out his wand.
"I mean it." Emily stood in the same place. "Emily move!" He yelled at her. Emily looked behind her And saw Hermione was distracting Umbridge.
"No." Ron raised his wand to her, when he was taken to the ground by Harry.
"Harry get off of me!" Harry got up and grabbed Ron's arms putting them behind his back.
"Sorry Ron." Harry said as he put his own hat over Ron's head. Hermione took one of Ron's arms and they guided him to the common room, and put him in a chair. Harry took the hat off Ron's head and smacked him with it.
"What were you thinking!?" Harry asked him.
"Emily didn't follow us." Hermione said with a frown. Harry whacked Ron with the hat again.
"I-she- Pansy hurt Ginny, Emily was in my way I told her to move." Ron said. Hermione glared at him.
"Okay, I admit it was probably the wrong thing to do." Ron said. Hermione looked at the marauder's map, and saw Emily was sitting in the library with Neville.
"Hi Neville." Emily said. Neville looked up at her a smiled.
"Hello Emily." Neville said. He analyzed her face. "What's wrong?" He asked her.
"Nothing." Emily said.
"I won't tell." Neville told her. Emily looked up at him.
"Do you think- Let's say someone did something to you, like threaten you with their wand, what would you do? Hypothetically speaking of course" Emily told him. "Well I'd say you let them grovel to kingdom come." Neville told her. Emily nodded.
"He seemed willing to do it though, you know curse me." Neville looked at Emily. "I'm sure they - whoever they are- wouldn't curse you." Neville told her.
"I hope so." Emily said.
At St. Mundo's Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were talking to Ginny who had just awoken. "We're so glad you've awoken."
"I'm fine Mum."
"You have no feeling of any of your body parts."Mr. Weasley said. "And quite a few scars that need a lot of mending, and your fine?"
"I didn't say I was perfect." Ginny told him. "But I'll be fine." She told them.
"So young Mr. Malfoy was in the infirmary, was he the one who did this to you?"
"No, he and Harry are the ones who saved me." Mr. Weasley nodded, not really convinced.
A/n: I hope you liked that chapter! Review pretty please.
Review Thanks:
Anna: You've already seen the first chapter of the arch, your ahead of mst of my readers, cause you're my beta, I mean come on you even know the main character that will die in seventh year.
BurningIce22: Yes you got a little H/Hr action there, I think you can probably expect more in the arch... te he he.
Luthien: Glad you like Draco! Everybody seems to love him... Ye ai Liked the movie, although I do wish they did put that part where Hermione say that thing bout her hair...that was soooooo out of character! Grrrrr....
Katie: Well yes it was horrible of Umbridge and Filch to tie Emily up, but that's Umbridge and Filch for you! Yes the Flashback was great. Yea I kept it pretty close to the book, but with a little flavoring of a ingredient I like to call 'Jessie' he he. Foogy?... care to explain that word? Ron is always concerned botu Emily. Yes I liked the H/Hr bed scene also. I'm not sure if Fred really kisses Katie in the book but I'm a bit of a Fred/Katie shipper. She brought them in because of the 'deliquents of the school', in otherwords anyone who believe Harry and Dumbledore are right. Nott is a pure-blooded Death Eater, that's what wrong! Ling...isn't. Yes Harry was very jealous, if he admitted it, that would be too easy, duh! They must slowly, very very slowly come together.
If they do come together....mwahhhhh!What can I say those two love the bed, lol. She dosen't go out with Snape... I don't think, who knows with my sick and twisted brain. I'm not sure what this new button does, but I certainly like it! He he. Black's Gurl: You'll see what Happens to Sirius in the end. This story will have a happy-ish ending.
Mel: Sheesh! I was waiting for your review before I updated, your one of my regulars you know! Well technically I already finished it, I just gots to post it. The faster ya'all review the faster I'll update. I already got 1 and a half chapters done of The Arch. "Come on Romeo!" – he he I loved that line also! Yes he just kissed her, neither like each other romantically, but you do what you got to do, so Nott doesn't kill the muggle born. Oh yes Harry really likes Hermione, he won't admit it for a while though... and will Hermione have moved on by then? Yes Emily is awesome. She so nice and sweet...
