Discy: I do not own any of the characters of Harry Potter – not even Draco Malfoy *sobs*. So don't sue me.
A/N: Hi!! Long time no see from reviewers Ashley, Henry, Rachael and etc. Where art thou? Okay, I'm not that desperate. Thing is, if you want to review know; make sure you will be devoted to me. Understand? No one likes people to go away after one look. So my last chapter was my most favourite one (and I only got three reviews!!!!!), but this one will be even more exciting – I think anyway.
On with the story…
*Chapter 14*
*~*~*I'm fine*~*~*
He spat out a pool of water and coughed while rubbing his worn out neck.
"So glad that Russell kid was weak, I swapped places with him easily. Now to get out of here."
He delicately pushed the broomstick he was on, to go in the other direction. He left Harry's companions swirling around the forbidden well; unaware of what had just happened.
*~*~*My Head is Spinning*~*~*
Harry
Harry's orbs circled around above the dark and depressing overflowing well. For a few moments they seemed to be lost in the current of the water. But just before Liz jumped into the water to try and catch the orbs, they left the water and formed a shining replica of Harry's body. The glistening body fell to the ground just before it flashed into the Harry's skin and dripping clothes.
Harry slowly lifted his head and tried to focus on the two bodies that were on the ground, the lot that were flying above him, and the fact that heads of Professor Snape was circling his head rather than stars. His eyes remained unfocused although the flying people on broomsticks were slowing down. He realised he was not wearing his glasses.
He moved his arms under him and gently tried to push himself up as he groaned at the sharp pain in his back. He gradually managed to stand although ended up leaning on a nearby tree.
Just as he found his glasses lying on the ground and put them on, a sudden burst of throbbing resumed to torturing his already pounding head. He grasped his scar and fell to the ground again. After that entire struggle to get up I just ended on the floor again. Darkness enclosed yet again, on his fragile mind.
Liz
Liz held on tight to the broomstick that threatened to shove her off, as the howling wind billowed against it. With all her force, she managed to keep a steady position and fly round the well as told to. Her heart began its usually mourning for Harry; she was sick and tired of fighting against the invisible barrier around the well and the constant worrying of Harry. Where was he?
Liz abruptly saw a furious glimmer of lights as the well began to dangerously overflow – was that Harry? Those orbs were very familiar. She flew in to take a closer look, why is the barrier was broken now? Oh well.
"Hey, you guys! I think Harry is in the water!" Liz shouted across to her companions.
They immediately slowed to see a hurricane of orbs fly out of the water and onto to the ground forming Harry in his true form. They shot down and landed roughly on the fairly battered hill of Dragon Snout's Peak.
Liz made forward to try and help Harry to his feet but Rose held her back. She could not take this, why was everyone just standing back letting Harry suffer. Why wouldn't they let her help? She glanced back to Harry to see him suddenly grasp his head and scream –
"HARRY!" Liz yelled and ran to Harry's side, her hand immediately rested on his shoulders to turn him over when she gasped aloud and froze on the spot.
*~*~*Vague Vision*~*~*
A few figures ran into view and abruptly stopped in front of another figure.
"You may have intercepted my course once but does that make you think that you will succeed a second time?" Growled a voice so mesmerising.
One figure opposite the speaker mumbled and a blanket of vaporising green light flew from his or her wand, directly at the speaker.
"Argh!!!!" Not the deep tone but a more feminine voice –
"Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Liz jolted and flew a few feet away from Harry. She landed forcefully on the muddy ground.
Liz pushed herself up and groaned – what a nightmare this adventure is turning out to. Aurora, Rose, Riana, Ron, Holly, Nick and Leah came around her worriedly with the same thought in their minds.
"What did you see?" Rose and Nick asked simultaneously as they helped her to her feet.
"I – I'm not sure," Liz's face grew white and she shakily walked towards Harry's body.
Harry had come back from the pain in his head when Liz was blown away from him. He got up carefully and gingerly feeling bruised all over, his handsome features tangled with curiosity.
"What happened, Liz? The way you jerked – it's important! What did you see?"
Harry grabbed Liz's shoulders and shook her violently, but her eyes remained glazed. Ron slapped Harry's face and shoved him off Liz.
"Harry, control yourself!" Ron yelled, "We're all shocked and want to know, without you making Liz feel worse."
Holly came forward as Liz buried her head in Holly's shoulders, "Liz, calm down, tell us when you're ready," Holly ended as Harry interrupted.
"Until she's ready! What the fuck?" Harry yelled.
"Harry! Shut up!" Holly roared unexpectedly, "Ron's right, we all want to know but maybe you can tell us something else for he time being. What happened to Cole? Is he alright?"
This time Harry rounded on to Holly, "Is he alright! You still love him after what he has done to you?" Harry asked, "For your information, Zeladrix is dead – and good riddance!"
"He's…dead," Holly murmured, she thought she would be ecstatic when she heard Cole was dead, but her long love for him still lingered.
"You know what?" Leah hurriedly said, "We have an hour left of dancing time. We should go, have fun, and then mourn over what has happened, Holly."
"Yeah that is a good idea," Riana piped in, "We can also get some info from Hermione and her hot ex, too."
They all readied to get on their brooms. As they mounted, Ron took the horn from Harry's pocket and prepared to orb to the Rosicrucians, "I have a feeling that this isn't the last time we see this thing."
A slight breeze helped seven teenagers fly steadily over Dragon Snout's Peak. But as the castle they called school loomed over them, Aurora stopped her broom in mid-air.
"S'up, Rora?" Rose asked.
"Russell. Where's Russell?" Aurora twisted her head so fast that she cricked her neck.
"He probably chickened out and is still in the castle crying for his mummy," Rose reassured her, "He wasn't your type anyway."
"But I swear he came up with us," Aurora whispered as she and Rose followed the others into the grounds.
*~*~*Party time*~*~*
Harry and Liz stood apart for most of the dance, only talking where needed.
*
"Where are Hermione and Malfoy?" Ron asked as he tried to divert his attention from the closeness of Lavender and Seamus.
"No idea, I guess they must have left after opening the ball. I sort of understand them though," Leah ordered a volcanic tonic from the drinks bar before being led to the dance floor by Ron.
*
Harry and Liz left the ball a few moments later, and not in a happy mood either.
*
Rose examined her drink with extreme caution, once she felt sure that the bar tender had put a hand in it, she threw in the bin.
"Never order punch around here," Rose told Nick as the slow dance started.
"Yeah," Nick buried his face in Rose's soft red hair.
"Check out Leah and Ron, aren't they just the cutest couple!" Rose mentioned suddenly.
There was no reply from Nick but a tiny grunt that had a hint of annoyance within it.
*
"I don't see him anywhere," Aurora moaned.
"Look, maybe he just wasn't right for you. Take your mind off him now!" Riana ordered. She could see it was difficult for Aurora to do so, so she led Aurora to their dormitory. There goes the perfect night to boy shop.
Holly stood miserably in the doorway of the dance. She just could not face the reality of Cole's death. Was it true? And if it wasn't where was he now? Her thoughts guided her to a sudden tiredness. Sleep sounded good right about now.
*~*~*The Dawn of an Argument*~*~*
Hermione's body ached all over and the bright sunlight pouring through the window could only suggest one thing. It was morning.
She turned over in her bed so that she faced the ancient clock, which hung on the wall. It was – no – it was one o'clock in the afternoon!
Hermione was known to have never missed a class at all, unless she had grown fur on her face on something. Something else must have made her sleep in all day. She raked her brain for the most possible explanation or this.
Last night she had been at the ball, with Dr – Malfoy, she had ordered something to drink after the opening, something alcoholic, something, something like – like really fizzy white wine.
Hermione could not remember anything after drinking the 'unknown' alcoholic drink. All she knew was that the drink was the reason she had slept in all day – she had a hangover.
She lay back down on her bed and found that it was useless to go to any lessons because they would have been finished by now anyway. Her timetable only went to ten past one in the afternoon, excluding astronomy taken at midnight.
As Hermione thought about her hangover another thought came to her mind. She had certainly felt ill during her alcoholic adventure, so who had put her in the bed and changed her clothes?
In that instant, she heard footsteps thudding along the staircase leading up to her room. Three knocks came on her door, and before Hermione could say anything, it swung open and Draco Malfoy stood in the doorway.
He saw that she was awake and hesitantly put a step into her room, "So. You awake then?"
"You!" Hermione burst out as she sat up hastily.
Malfoy looked a bit startled at the outburst.
"How dare you!!!" Hermione roared, "It was you who put me into bed wasn't it! You filthy scumbag!!"
"Hermione –"
"DO NOT Hermione me," Hermione resumed to shouting at him, "You perfectly know that you have know freedom of calling me that! It's Granger to you!" She spat out her name, red rage rising in her cheeks.
"But I don't understand," Malfoy said, looking totally bewildered, "Last night, you were all over me. You told me that – that, well, that you loved me."
"WHAT!" Hermione was now absolutely pissed at what she was hearing, "I said that I loved you! Well sorry to burst your little bubble of hope that you could somehow get me to fall into your trap, but quite frankly, I was DRUNK, so therefore anything I did last night was a complete lie! I DO NOT love you, anymore than I love Snape!"
Malfoy heart seemed to have stopped because he could not moved.
"Now, GET OUT!" Hermione snatched her wand, "Expelliarmus!"
The true power that had built up inside the seventeen year old blasted through her wand. Her emotions were the key to revealing this power. Rage, sorrow, happiness and many more thundered within her to overcome anything that tried to come in her way.
Malfoy's body spun backwards unexpectedly and tumbled down the stairs. His blond hair sticking out at awkward points, nose appearing from his nose, and his well built muscles a failure in the situation. His body was lifeless on the floor, his mind sinking into unconsciousness.
"I HATE YOU!" Hermione's voice rang from her bedroom followed by a huge slam of her door.
It echoed endlessly in the blank mind of Malfoy. The only words that appeared in his head were, "She hates you," he croaked.
