"Harry, not even I want her to die. And I'm the kind of guy that used to wish she would." Draco said.
"I know. It's just that, it all happened so fast. I... I could do nothing. I just heard a scream and saw her falling towards the ground." Harry whispered, tears stinging his eyes.
"Well, it's lucky I was there isn't it?" Draco told him.
Harry nodded.
"I'm going back to Hermione. See you guys later." Harry said suddenly, then he left his seat and started towards the Hospital Wing.
"He's hardly eaten anything all week!" Ginny whispered.
"Gin, you don't think he's-?" Stephanie said.
"Anorexic? Yeah, that's exactly what I know he is." Ginny told her friend seriously.
"This is all Crabbe's fault!" Ron sneered venomously.
"How do you know Ron?" Sophie asked.
"I saw him. He thought no one was looking, boy was he wrong" Ron laughed as he spoke.
"Ok, Ron. Thanks for telling me." Draco said and got up to leave the Gryffindor Table and go towards the Slytherins.
"Draco." Ginny whispered.
"I'll be fine baby. Don't worry. The Slytherins wouldn't dare hurt me." Draco whispered back, then, he turned on his heel and walked angrily to the Slytherin Table.
"CRABBE! GOYLE! I NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU ALONE!" Draco shouted furiously.
Crabbe and Goyle reluctantly got up from their seats and followed Draco out of the Great Hall.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!" Draco asked, screaming.
"We thought you wanted the Mudblood-" Goyle started.
"Don't you EVER call Hermione by that name!" Draco sneered through clenched teeth.
Both Crabbe and Goyle flinched.
"Now, I think you owe an apology." Draco said calmly.
"Sorry Draco." Crabbe said.
"Not to me! To Ginny, Stephanie, Sophie, Ron, Harry AND Hermione!" Draco hissed, then stalked back towards the Gryffindor Table.
"Draco, did the talk help?" Stephanie asked softly.
"I hope so." Draco sighed.
"DRACO!! RON!! GINNY!! SOPHIE!! STEPHANIE!!" someone cried from the big oak doors of the Great Hall.
Ginny and Sophie turned quickly to see Neville running toward them.
"What happened Neville?" Ron asked.
"You've got to come and see for yourselves. It's horrible!" Neville sobbed.
"Don't worry, Neville. Where is it?" Sophie asked, hugging him.
"I'll show you. Come on!" Neville said, then, he grabbed Sophie's hand, motioned for the others to follow him and ran.
Neville led them to the third floor corridors and when they stopped, Sophie, Stephanie and Ginny saw something that made their hearts stop.
Harry was lying unconscious on the cold stone floor, blood slowly ebbing from the cuts on his wrists.
"When Hermione wakes up, she's not going to like this. At all." Ginny said.
"She won't."
At the voice, the girls quickly turned, only to see Professor Snape looking, somewhat, sad.
"What do you mean she won't wake up, Professor?" Draco asked softly
"The Bludger that hit her, hit her across the back of her head. She's got a concussion. And possibly amnesia." Professor Snape explained.
"Right! That does it!" Ginny, Sophie and Stephanie growled.
"What?" Ron asked.
"Draco, what's the Slytherin Common Room password?" Stephanie asked.
"Mudblood." Draco answered.
"What are you girls planning to do?" Snape asked.
"Our best friend has got a concussion. And maybe amnesia! Do you think that we're going to let Crabbe and Goyle get away with it!!!???" Sophie screamed and with that, the three girls stalked off towards the Slytherin Common Room.
"Should we go after them?" Ron asked worriedly, looking at his unconscious friend, then to Snape and back at Harry. "When Ginny wants to hurt someone really badly, she does it worser than bad. She could even kill them if she wanted to."
"No. Crabbe and Goyle need to know not to mess with the girls. Even if they ARE with your sister." Draco said.
"Mr Malfoy is right." Snape replied.
In the Slytherin Common Room
"CRABBE GOYLE YOU ARE GOING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sophie screamed.
"Huh?" Goyle asked slowly.
"YOU KNOW WHAT WE MEAN!!!!!!" Stephanie growled, making people in the Common Room stare at them.
Then, the three girls took out their wands and pointed them right at Crabbe and Goyle's hearts. If they even had hearts that is.
"Why?" Sophie asked through clenched teeth. "Why are you trying to destroy the FIRST EVER music band in Hogwarts?"
"Millicent told us to do it!" Goyle cried.
"Maybe. But you could have resisted!" Ginny shot back, her clear, light blue eyes turning darker every second that went by. A pure sign that she was really furious.
"You will pay for it you know!" Stephanie said calmly. Then she shouted, "SEPENSORTIA!"
No one knew at that time, that there was a Parselmouth in the girl group.
Sophie had started to speak Parsel tongue. She ordered the snake to attack Crabbe and Goyle and it obeyed.
When Sophie came out of her trance, she turned to see everyone, including Stephanie and Ginny, looking at her with a look of pure horror.
Stephanie and Ginny pulled her out of the Slytherin Common Room.
"You're a Parsel mouth?! Why didn't you tell us?!" Stephanie asked, shocked to have heard her best friend do that.
"I'm a what?" Sophie asked in disbelief.
"You can talk to snakes!" A know-it-all voice came from behind them.
