Hermione embraced Neola as she stepped carefully into their dorm room. Professor Dumbledore had lifted Pansy into his arms and carried her into the common room to lay her flat on one of their couches.
"How long has she been like this?" Dumbledore asked, checking the marks on her chest.
"I, I don't know. When I woke, which was about five minutes ago, I saw her like that," Hermione said turning away from Pansy's body.
"She's been dead for almost an hour, that I can tell," Dumbledore said. Neola began to weep; she fell to her knees next to Pansy's body and shuddered.
"She died because she was raped and beaten to death," Neola whispered, trailing a finger down her ice cold skin. Everyone turned shocked expression towards her.
"How do you know this?" Dumbledore asked, searching her face.
"You're a seer…aren't you?" Hermione asked, stepping towards her. Neola gave Hermione a fearful look.
"When she turned you into a snake, you gained all of the qualities of a snake too? Snakes are psychic, and so are you," Hermione verified, reaching for Neola's hand.
"Don't try to figure me out Hermione, I might hurt you…" Neola said, moving her hand away from Hermione.
"She was taken here by April. To show that there is someone out there who has taken Colin's place," Neola stared into Harry's eyes, fearing the truth she would bestow upon him, "Draco is her new Colin, Harry. She has filled him with hate and it's eating him away. April has gotten stronger in a small amount of time."
"Damn it," Harry said angrily, "Professor, we must alert Pansy's parents about her, and we have to find Draco and April right away, the whole school should be on alert."
"Not quite Harry. Miss Granger, kindly call for a meeting with all the Prefects and Professors," Dumbledore said, lifting Pansy's lifeless body into his arms.
"Where are you going Professor?" Harry scurried to Dumbledore's side.
"I'm going to Gryffindor tower to find Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore said, moving towards the entrance.
"Why would he be in our tower?" Harry asked, bewildered.
"Miss. Weasley, of course," and with that Dumbledore had left for the tower. Hermione caught up with Harry and Neola and followed Dumbledore around the corner to the Fat Lady.
"Chocolate Covered Frogs," Dumbledore said. The Fat Lady bowed and the portrait swung open.
The students turned to see Dumbledore's tall figure enter the room. Many screamed when they saw what he was holding.
"BEHOLD GRYFFINDORS! The war against Voldemort is not OVER! It seems that one of our very own has done this to Miss. Parkinson,"
The students gasped and backed away from Dumbledore as he walked towards the dorms. Ron and Lavender gave Harry and Hermione a puzzled look. Dumbledore descended up the girls stairway. The alarm automatically shut off. He went straight to the sixth year girl's dorm.
"Harry, please check to see if the door is locked," Dumbledore asked. Harry turned the knob, but the door was locked.
"Please unlock the door," Dumbledore asked. Harry began to pull out his wand, but Dumbledore shook his head and using his right hand, Harry touched the knob and the door came open. A sharp scream came from the room and Harry bolted in but quickly peddled back.
Before their eyes was Draco and Ginny. Ginny had her bare legs wrapped around Draco's waist, and Draco's naked back faced them, he was pounding into Ginny's body as she hung onto him with difficulty. She screamed for him to go faster as Draco worked into her. She had been resting her head against the wall until she heard the door open.
"OH MY GOD!" Ginny screamed.
Draco started to moan, thinking that Ginny was getting into his sudden change of position. She started to bang on his shoulder until he stopped.
"What's wrong love?" He panted, looking into her face. Her shocked expression surprised Draco, and he turned to see what she was staring at. He suddenly dropped Ginny and pulled his robe from off the bed, covering her with it. Then he pulled the bed sheet off to cover himself.
"Please explain this Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore asked, placing Pansy on Ginny's bed. Ginny swallowed hard and moved towards Pansy's lifeless body. She brushed away strands of Pansy's golden blonde hair from her face.
"I killed her." Draco admitted. Ginny spun around to stare at Draco. Fear flooded into her eyes.
"Why, Draco? Why?" Ginny asked, stepping in front of him and placing her head on his chest.
"You have the opportunity to bring her back Malfoy. You know how you can change it…the power you have can bring this girl's life back to her." Dumbledore said.
Draco quietly walked over to Pansy's body and traced the cuts that were on her chest with his finger. He smoothed the torn clothes over her bare breasts, and dusts the dirt that filtered her jeans. He lifted her body into his arms, as if embracing her. Color started to flood into Pansy's cheeks. Her lips became pink and were not pale anymore. Her eyes fluttered and she yawned.
"Draco…what happened? Why are you hugging me…Draco? Why are you crying?" Pansy asked, staring into Draco's face. She weakly lifted her hand to rest on Draco's cheek, wiping away a tear.
"Miss. Parkinson, you are in Gryffindor Tower. Please, things have been slightly odd and I know you might feel a little shaken, but please go back to your tower and I will be there shortly.
"Harry, please, take Neola and Hermione back to…" Dumbledore started. He turned to see Harry's figure slowly walking away from them.
"What's wrong Harry? Where are you going?" Hermione asked, following him.
"April is here." He went into the common room area, and standing in the middle of the room, holding a frightened first year, was April.
"Hello Harry," she grinned.
