A/n: It's sad isn't it…for over two weeks I've had a writer's block…for the LAST couple of chapters!!!! Whoever heard of that? I know exactly what's going to happen and yet I can't get my fingers to type anything. I just sit here by the computer and stare at the last line I wrote. Ridiculous!
Quesomonkey: lol yeah poor Helen but at least she has her friends (for now) and Draco (for now) and Alby and Mrs. Baker (for now).Lol yeah the only reason Harry shook Draco's hand was because he saved Helen and he has to admit that Draco's changed but the past can't be easily erased so they're still not friends yet. In the books I think Draco is an arrogant, snobbish, rude, close-minded twit (and a lot more words can be used to describe him) but I like to think he could change. Lol and about Harry…the reason I made Voldemort get the power is because wouldn't it be so extraordinary if Harry could beat him despite ALL the odds? I wished I could have finished by the time you came back or maybe even have started a third WT (I always said it would be a trilogy but I'm not too sure now...I probably won't).
Chapter 20 "Feed the WildFire"
Sick and tired of this world
There's no more air
Tripping over myself, going nowhere
Waiting, suffocating, no direction
I took a dive and
On the way down
I saw you, and you saved me from myself
And I won't forget the way you loved me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held on to you
Been wondering why it's only me
Have you always been inside waiting to breathe?
It's alright, sunlight on my face
I wake up and yet, I'm alive.
Ryan Cabrera's "On the way down"
Helen yawned and snuggled even closer to Draco, smiling.
"I can't believe I almost died…so close to never being able to feel his arms around me," Helen whispered to herself…admiring Draco's disheveled blond hair almost cover his eyes, as well as his glorious abs, muscled arms, and cute kissable lips. As comfortable as she was…she needed to go visit Firenze. Even though it was Monday there would be no classes for her. The ministry and Dumbledore felt that with Voldemort's heightened reign of terror the students would not be able to focus and so end of the year exams were cancelled; all O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. students would get theirs according to their grade average in their classes…classes which were also cancelled.
"Morning," Draco kissed her forehead…her nose…and finally her lips.
"Mmmmorning," Helen sighed contentedly before remembering what she woke up to do. After slowly getting to her feet she made her way to the bathroom…giving Draco many good reasons why he couldn't join her. Once she was clean and clothed the two of them went down to breakfast, only letting go of each other to walk to their separate tables.
"Hey," Helen examined Hermione's face. "Where's Harry?"
"With Firenze again."
"I was planning on visiting him too. Want to come after breakfast?"
"Sure," Hermione unfolded the Daily Prophet.
"There's no point reading that, Hermione. All it will do is depress you more."
"I'm looking at the list of the deceased muggles."
"Why?"
"To make sure my family's name isn't on there," Hermione whispered quietly.
Helen nodded and took a sip of pumpkin juice. After two years of being at Hogwarts she still didn't get used to the taste…
"Well then there's no point reading the articles themselves. It's the same disturbing and frightening thing over and over again. Giants stomping everywhere…vampires sucking people up…dementors stealing souls…dragons unleashed…Banshees running around…Crups for hunting…Lethifolds—"
"—I know. We need to know what's going on though. Whoa…Fudge was murdered."
"What?" Helen asked.
"Yes! The article states that Fud—you okay?"
Helen threw down the glass of water she was about to drink…which shattered and steamed into a million pieces.
"What the—"
"Poison," Helen got up from the table quickly. "Kafare herbs."
"How'd you know?" Hermione asked, followed Helen out of the Great Hall.
"You don't know what it is?"
"Well I know it looks exactly like water! So how could you tell?" Hermione walked faster.
"When I held the glass to my nose I smelled the peach scent."
"Oh my gosh! The rest of the school…"
"It was intended for me. I almost never touch my pumpkin juice. Water's the only thing I drink here so they must know that…"
Helen tickled the pear and yanked the door to the kitchens open. The sight of dead house elves and dark wizards standing over them brought a squeal from Hermione lips.
"RUN!" Helen yelled. She and Hermione ran for their lives, dodging spells as they went.
"Stupify," Hermione shouted. "Let's split up."
"Stupify! No way!"
"Yes…way," Hermione panted, holding her ribs as she ran. "I'll go find Harry while you go alert the rest of the school."
"Shit," Helen yelled when one of the spells grazed her shoulder. "Fine. Just be careful."
Hermione nodded and ran down the stairs.
Grrrr.
Hermione reached the bottom stair and looked to her left where a pack of Crups were growling at her.
They only attack muggles…but does that include muggleborns?
"Please leave me alone little doggies…" Hermione whispered aloud, backing up slowly. "Don't make me hurt you…"
The Crups heard something somewhere else and ran in the direction of the sound, to Hermione's great relief.
--------------------------------------------------------
"Hmm what's wrong with your ill-mannered whore? Is she poisoned or something?" Paige smiled at him.
Draco could feel a fireball itching to be conjured up and thrown in Paige's face.
"Did you have anything to do with her abrupt leave from the Great Hall?" Draco demanded to know.
"Of course not. It was all mother's idea…but unfortunately Cliff didn't drink the—"
Draco jumped up from the table.
CRASH!
A shower of glass rained on the students closest to the windows as dementors, wizards, and vampires alike swooped through. Draco engulfed the vampire closest to himself entirely in flames and tried to make his way to the door; which wasn't possible. All the students were up and scrambling to the doors, fighting off their attackers, fainting, screaming, crying, or getting out of the way of the professors.
"Draco."
Draco spun around, ready to curse somebody but he realized it was Professor Dumbledore.
"Sir."
"Expecto Patronum"
The force of the headmaster's patronus knocked Draco to the ground.
"Helen has told you about the members of—"
"Dumbledore's Army." Draco answered quickly.
"Yes, now I need you to help them to bring the students out of the school but first you must get Miss Granger."
"I need to find Helen!" Draco shouted, warding off two more dementors.
"If you see Helen while looking for Miss Granger then that's wonderful, otherwise you need to lead the students to safe room above the dungeons. You know where it is."
Draco blasted a vampire into ashes and finally made his way to the door. Screw the headmaster…he needed to find Helen.
-----------------------------------------------------
"What was that?" Harry asked Firenze. They crossed over to the window and saw every dark beast known to wizard moving towards the castle. Two particular trolls were…
BAM!
Harry and Firenze ran out of the way before the wall was blasted open, sending debris in their direction.
"Bloody Hell,"
----------------------------------------------------
"Stop right there Helen,"
"Like Hell."
"Lassuspedis"
"Stup—AH!" Helen looked down at her legs which suddenly became hard to move.
"Like the Anti-Running Curse?" Paige's mom leered.
Oh crap what was the counter-curse again? Maybe she should have paid more attention…
"Stupify!"
Once the witch was stunned Helen hobbled along at an extremely slow pace…cursing the entire way. If she ran into anymore trouble (which was very much likely) she wouldn't be able to outrun them.
"Fresh Blood! YAAA"
--------------------------------------------
Hermione rounded the corner and crashed into Nott.
"AVADA KEDAV—AHH" Nott ran into the opposite direction…trying to put out the flames.
"Dumbledore needs you to go help D.A. bring the students out of the school," Draco ran past her but she grabbed his arm. Draco had saved her?
"That's Helen's job! Mine is to find Harry."
"You saw Helen? Where is she?" Draco shook Hermione, as if it would get the answers out of her.
"She was supposed to be coming back from the kitchens to the Great Hall! We went in separate directions!"
"Potter is a big boy. He can take care of himself! Look, I'm going to find Helen. Dumbledore gave me strict orders to find you and tell you to do your job as Head Girl."
"Sure…and you're exempt from Head duties as well?"
"We don't have time for this Granger!" Draco shouted. "I'll find Potter! Just get to the Great Hall!"
"FINE!" Hermione yelled and dashed away. Silly Granger. Draco had no intentions of finding Harry. Not when Helen needed him. He could feel that she was in trouble.
---------------------------------------
Helen darted to the side and swung her wand in the vampire's direction.
"Vacarre"
A stake shot out of her wand and into its heart. Thank goodness she'd studied THAT section.
ZOOM! Five more vampires flew in her direction.
"Oh Shit."
"Vacarre Vacarre Vacarre BURN!"
Helen fell and rolled out of the way of the burning and nearly dead vampires.
"Draco! Oh thank God!" Helen let him help her up. "What's the counter-curse for the Anti-Running curse?"
"I don't remember why?"
"Because I can't run!"
"Oh. That's fine." Draco picked her up and ran (not very fast) with her.
"Where are Harry and Hermione?"
"No clue about Potter and Granger is trying to help the rest of the D.A. get the students out of the school."
"I've got to go help Harry! Draco, turn left! We've got to go to the Divination room!"
"No way! Stupify!" Draco stunned a death eater that was running past. "Not while you're under that curse."
"AHA! I remember! Refuga!" Helen performed the spell on herself and jumped out of Draco's arms, running towards Firenze's classroom.
"STOP! ARE YOU CRAZY?" Draco yelled after her.
A/n: I'm ending here. Why? Because I'm stupid and have writer's block. Sorry.
