A/N: I'm back!!! I have Chelsea/Ron by my side, many ideas in my head (She helped mostly), and have seen the movie four times!!
Jamie's POV
The Auror's tumbled out of McGonagall's fireplace and ran into the forest.
"Thank you for alerting me about this, Miss Venberg. It shall be taken care of immediately." Said my Transfiguration professor and head of house. I nodded, and ran outside. The first person I saw was Luna Lovegood, by the lake.
"Lun, have you seen Harry… Hermione… the Weasleys?" I asked, hoping she'd seen any of the four of them. She nodded.
"They are in the forest." She stated, when I felt a yank at my ankle and I fell into the water.
"Liz!" I heard Luna shout. I resurfaced, and saw a Death Eater was the one who yanked me in. He smirked, and pulled out his wand… and a dagger. I let out a small shriek and started swimming away.
"WHERE'S LIZ?!" I heard Harry shout on land. Luna pointed out to me as soon as I was pulling out my wand.
"I think we've found her, mate." Ron told Harry.
"LIZ!" Harry shouted, and with a running start, jumped into the water, and pulled out his own wand. Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Luna soon did the same. I felt a really sharp pain in my left calf, and saw that the Death Eater had jammed his dagger into my leg. He pulled it out, and it felt like Hell had come to Earth. I tried to swim away, but my injury immobilized me. The Death Eater (Let's call him Bob) saw this as an advantage, and jammed the dagger into my right arm. Harry pointed his wand at Bob's chest, shouted 'Stupefy!' and swam over to me.
"WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?!" Harry yelled. I winced.
"Har, bring the volume down a notch, kay? Thanks for your concern, but I'm fine." I said, but I felt dizzy and almost went under the water. Harry swam forward, and grabbed me. With the help of his friends, he pulled me ashore.
"Ooh, that looks really bad, Liz." Hermione said. Harry took off his shirt (He was wearing an undershirt!!) and tore off two large pieces.
"This should stop the bleeding until we get to Madam Pomfrey." Harry stated, tying the cloth pieces around my arm and leg.
"Liz, can you walk?" Ron asked. I stood up, but the pain in my leg was close to unbearable. My leg gave out and I fell, shaking my head. Harry grabbed me around the waist, and picked me up by sliding his left arm under my knees and his right arm under my shoulders. I automatically put my arms around his neck.
"We have to get back into the forest and help the DA. It gives me the fuzzies to know that I came up with the title. Dumbledore's Army." Ginny said.
"Gin, you're heading in the direction of a smack-bottom." Ron said, and a giggle escaped out of my throat. I couldn't help it.
"What?" Ron asked.
"You sound like freakin' Shrek when you say that!" I exclaimed, giggling again. Then the seriousness of the situation (Death Eaters and such) washed over me. We walked (and were carried) through the forest in silence until I broke it by looking up at Harry with tears in my eyes. He looked down and gasped a bit.
"What's wrong?" He breathed, so the others couldn't hear us. I blinked and let a tear escape my eye.
"Are we gonna die?" I whispered.
"Not if I can help it." Harry whispered back, stopping for a second so he could wipe away my tear, then continued on.
"How're you holding up, Liz?" Luna asked, looking back at me.
"Feeling weak." I said.
"Loss of blood." Hermione stated.
"You know what, bugger this, I'm taking Liz to the Hospital Wing and coming back here." Harry said, stopping.
"Harry, I'm fine." I said, "I'm just, well… it hurts like Hell!" I wined.
"Okay, I'll be back girls."
"Hey!!"
"And Ron."
"Shut up, Harry!"
"Losing life here!" I stated.
"Right." Harry said and ran back to the Castle.
"There, Venberg, you should be alright now." Madam Pomfrey stated. I nodded.
"But," She continued on, " You must stay here for a few days."
"Can I have visitors?" I asked.
"If you can keep it down. The deceased students' parents are coming tomorrow." She said.
"Oh." Then, a thought crossed my mind, "Deceased? People died?"
Pomfrey nodded, "People died." She clarified, "A few Hufflepuffs, some Ravenclaws, and a Gryffindor first year. Most of the people that died were from Slytherin, though."
My thoughts immediately went to Draco.
But he's in NC with Sara, I thought.
"Malfoy isn't here, so you don't need to worry." She said as the door swung open and Harry, the Weasley siblings, and Hermione walked in.
"Oh, Merlin, Liz!" Hermione said.
"Mione, don't even get started. I'm fine." I said, followed by a sigh.
"It's better than getting dragged across the grounds by your leg by an animagus." Ron said.
"Shut up about it," Harry snapped, "That animagus is dead now."
"Sorry, mate."
"We're going to dinner. Harry, coming with?" Ginny asked.
"No, I'd like to stay with my girlfriend, who is injured right now." He said, looking annoyed.
"Okay." Ginny said. The three people walked out, and I turned to Harry.
"Okay, are you going to tell me what's wrong, or am I gonna have to force it out with Veritaserum?" I asked. He sighed.
"Liz, I'm not the type of person who wears their feelings on their sleeve. I don't want to talk about it." He snapped.
"Well, you're gonna talk about it, like it or not." I said, getting irritated.
"WELL, WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?!" He yelled.
"HARRY, THIS IS ME YOUR TALKING TO; GOODNESS, TO BE FRIENDS WITH CHELSEA SUMPTER
FOR ALL OF THOSE YEARS, I'D HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SHOUT AND BE SHOUTED AT! SO SHOUT AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS; I DON'T CARE! IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. He stared at me in shock.
"I didn't know you had such a loud mouth and breath." He stated.
"Are you going to tell me what it is, or are you going to wait another fifty years?" I asked. He took a deep breath.
"Seeing all of those people…dieing made me think of him, Liz. Of how…stunned he looked falling through. He's gone, and I can't bring him back." Harry confessed sadly. A tear fell from his eye, "I can't bring him back."
"Are you a robot or something?" I asked.
"What?" Harry asked confused.
"You are, like, incapable of showing feelings." I said, feeling angrier by the minute.
"What if I don't want to show feeling?" He said, another tear falling from his eye.
"EVERYBODY HURTS!" I shouted.
"EVERYBODY EXCEPT ME!" He replied, more tears cascading down his face. I heard the door open.
"Harry, are you sure…"Hermione started, walking in with the siblings' Weasley, but I cut her off.
"HOW CAN YOU NOT HURT, YOU FRIGGIN MACHINE? GOODNESS, AT LEAST I CAN SHOW FEELING!"
"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A MACHINE? I'M JUST AS CAPABLE AS SHOWING FEELINGS AS YOU ARE, OR HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN? I'M THE ONE WHO BROKE HIS OWN HEART, I'M THE ONE WHO FOUND YOU AND FIXED WHAT WAS BROKEN…"
"I WAS NOT BROKEN, AND IF I WAS, YOU'RE THE ONE THAT BROKE ME!" I cut him off.
"I'M THE ONE THAT SAVED YOU FROM DEATH, OR DO YOU WANT ME TO FIND A TIME TURNER AND LET YOU DIE?!" He continued, ignoring me. He was bawling by now. I gasped at what he said. He must've just realized what he said, because his eyes widened and more tears fell out of his eyes. I felt tears streaming out of my own eyes.
"I…" He let out a sob, "I didn't mean that."
"We'll come back later." Ron said, and the three teens headed out the door. Harry started sobbing uncontrollably and threw his head down onto my lap. I rubbed his back with my left hand as he sobbed.
"I… I…" He looked up at me, "I'M SORRY!" And he started sobbing again.
