When a girl band starts in Hogwarts…
Chapter Two: Draco's fate or a lucky escape?
Ten minutes later, they had reached the magnificent, titanic building that was their school. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Woah!" Sophie and Stephanie muttered in awe as their eyes travelled up and down the castle.
"That's what I thought when I saw Hogwarts for the first time." Hermione told them, letting the know that they weren't alone in all of this.
Once they were in the Great Hall, Hermione gave both Stephanie and Sophie a hug, wished them good luck and hoped they'd be in Gryffindor, and followed Ginny to the Gryffindor Table where Harry and Ron were already sat.
"Finally! I thought you'd never separate from them!" Ron complained once Hermione had sat herself down in between him and Harry. But the bad news for Ron was that Ginny was sat in front of her so they could quite easily converse without he or Harry knowing it.
When the bustle of the Great Hall had deadened, Dumbledore began his beginning of the term speech.
Near the end of his speech he said, " Before we start sorting the first years, we shall start with the transfer students."
"Bagnall, Stephanie." Professor McGonagall called out.
Stephanie, slightly frightened now, went up to the professor. She sat on the stool while Professor McGonagall put the Sorting Hat on her head.
There was a long pause. Then the Sorting Hat's answer filled the air.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"YES! Woohoo!" Stephanie screamed and ran towards Hermione.
"Wooton, Sophie." Professor McGonagall called out again.
Sophie, like Stephanie went up and as soon as the Sorting Hat was about to be put on her head, it yelled "GRYFFINDOR!" instantly.
After the feast was over, Sophie pulled Ginny into a corner, hiding away from the other students.
" Why were you looking so guilty earlier Gin? You said you'd tell me when we got to Hogwarts after the welcoming feast." Sophie said softly.
Ginny's eyes instantly filled with tears and regret. "Oh, Sophie! I've fallen for someone I shouldn't have and when my brother finds out, he'll kill me!" Ginny sobbed.
"Hey, calm down. No one, not even your brother is going to kill you. They'll have to get through me, Stephanie and Hermione before they can get to you. Now tell me who you have fallen for." Sophie reassured her.
"Ok. It's Malfoy." Ginny confessed, blushing.
"Woah! I mean you've fallen for him after what he called us"
"Yeah. But you have to keep it a secret! Don't tell anyone please!" Ginny pleaded.
"I won't I swear." Sophie promised.
"Thanks."
When they came out of their corner, Ginny saw something that made her heart stop.
Draco was lying on the floor of the Great Hall face down with a large open gash at the back of his head. Blood pouring from the open wound.
Ginny bit back a sob as she, Sophie, Hermione and Stephanie carried him to the Hospital Wing.
"What happened?" Ginny and Sophie asked in a whisper.
"All we heard and saw was a shrill scream for the Slytherin Table, a dark figure then Malfoy lying on the ground with blood flowing from his head. We tried to find you but we couldn't." Stephanie explained.
"I hope he isn't..." Ginny gulped. "Dead." And that was it for Ginny. She collapsed and started crying.
Hermione went over to comfort her. "Hey. It's gonna be all right. He's not gonna die." Hermione soothed, holding Ginny in a comforting hug.
