'Her', Helene said as if it was the easiest answer in the world.
'No, Helene, it's not her, it's your family, always put your family 1st', Danny said starting to shake her.
'No Danny, you don't understand', she shook him off and stood up, storming across to the other side of the room, 'She was there when my parents weren't. She listened to me whinge when no-body else would. Jamie, Danny, Jamie comes before my family, because she is my family', Danny looked at Helene like she was somebody he never wanted to see again.
'Ok, Helene, what would happen, if, Jamie didn't come to hogwarts, what would happen if you never even talked to Jamie, Hm, tell me that?' Danny said pointing at her.
'I would die', She said simply.
'But how could you die, you wouldn't know there could've been better things. Now this is what your missing Helene, Common sense. You need to think further outside of your comfort zone, your little box', Danny said taking small steps towards her.
'I would die from heart ache, I would die from depression', She said her force field starting to let down.
'Do you see Helene; you don't need to Jamie to live. Jamie isn't your family, she's just some weirdo you met out of a small crush you had on some famous guy', Danny said now speaking easy.
'But Danny, do you see, do you see how I smile more with her than I have with anybody else. Yes, Danny, I may not need her to SURVIVE, but I need her to live', Helene had tears brimming across her eyes as she slowly exited Danny's room. Tom and Dougie looked laid back as Helene tore through the common room and Into Jamie and Hers room. Jamie and Draco looked up from their intense reading and saw her crash onto her bed. Jamie indicated for Him to leave while she sorted this out.
'Helene...' Jamie said taking small steps towards her as Draco left through the door.
'He doesn't get it...' she mumbled into the pillow.
'Who doesn't get what Helene?' Jamie said starting to get concerned.
'Danny. He thinks I'm wasting my time on you. He thinks I should leave now and forget you', Helene said sitting up, grabbing Jamie's arms roughly and looking her in the eye.
'Helene...what are you saying?' Jamie asked tears brimming her eyes.
'I'm sorry Jamie', Helene looked pleadingly into her eyes, as Jamie shook her grip.
'You...you think...you think I'm going to let some...some...some asshole take you away from me. You...you think...you think I'm going to let you walk out of my life just like that', Jamie started walking backwards towards the door, 'well, Helene, seems like you don't know me as well as you think you do', Jamie had held of the door knob now.
'Jamie...don't', Helene choked out.
'I'm not going to let him take you away from me. Not now, not ever', Jamie swung open the door, letting it slam against the wall, and stormed out, tears falling freely from her eyes. Jamie stormed down her steps and straight up Danny's steps. She kicked open the door and walked in.
'How dare you. How dare you come in here, with your money and fancy shit...how dare you come in here and steal her away from me', Jamie yelled pushing Danny off balance, making him land hard onto the floor.
'You think I want her?' He yelled standing up.
'That's all you want, you want...that?' Jamie said, as Danny's eyes glazed over at the thought. Jamie took that as her chance to tackle him into the common room. He fought back pretty well, but Jamie was better, as she launched thousands of punches right into his pretty face that he couldn't block. Danny got his own back, he hit Jamie twice in the eye, 4 times in the nose and a couple in the ribs, as she flopped to the ground in pain. Danny climbed on top of her and began landing punch after punch on her head, making a blood crater. Jamie was bleeding from every which and where, as Danny was only bleeding from the same places. Finally Jamie had taking enough of a beating that 1 more blow would knock her out cold. And Danny did just that, he pulled his arm back as far as his pain would let him, and launched his fist right into the blood crater he had created.
Jamie opened her eyes, well atleast tried to as blood clotted them together.
'Jamie...' she heard someone whisper.
'What?' Jamie tried to yell but couldn't in fact she couldn't even manage a sound.
'Are you awake?' Jamie wanted to slap the person, would she be asleep if she was moving, like a wild thing? Jamie's eyes finally flew open.
'Jamie?' Helene said, although Jamie had second thoughts it was Helene.
'Yeah, What?' Jamie finally said, although it hurt her ribs, in fact, it hurt all of her body.
'Are you mad at me?' Helene said, her voice shaking.
'No...Not at you...Just at...well, Danny, what he said about you, it made me wanna hurt him so bad he'd take it back', Jamie had clenched her fists around the bed sheets as she was saying this, and Helene took one of her hands out of the grip and held it. Tears were beginning to brim the edge of Jamie's eyes as she did so. She needed to get out of there, out of here, out of anywhere and to her room, to her computer. Jamie jumped out of bed, ignoring the searing pain in every part of her body, she ran. Ran as fast as she could, not caring which direction, not caring where she ended up, as long as she was far away from anybody. She turned a corner only to find the head common room. Running towards the portrait she yelled the password and ran in, slid across the tiled floor, with only her socks on her feet, she slid and slid till she gathered her balance and ran into her room. Before she actually entered her room she was interrupted.
'I wouldn't go in there if I was you?' Draco Stated as he stood up. Harry Followed and commented on how bad she looked and he began to wipe away the blood out of her eyes as Draco continued.
'Why not, why can't I go into my own room?' Jamie asked starting to get annoyed with people.
'well...while you were gone, I, well, we all had a look at your Computer...and well...I ...Well...I fucked it up', Draco finally spat out.
'You...YOU WHAT?' Jamie said taking dangerously slow steps towards him, shrugging off Harry at the same time.
'I...broke...your computer', Draco whispered. Jamie closed her eyes counted to 10 then glared up at Danny's door.
'I know you love me Jamie, but leave the door out of this', Danny said as he stepped through the portrait hole. Jamie started counting to 10 out loud but it didn't work, Jamie ran at him, as fast as she could, lucky tom and Harry had quick reflexes as Harry grabbed her around the waist and Tom grabbed her arms.
'Danny Alan Jones, I'm about this close to committing a murder, so if I was you, I'd shut your fucking mouth', Danny's eyes went wide and his mouth dropped, but he snapped himself together and went and sat next to Draco, who had gone back to sit on the couch.
'Jamie...' Danny whispered as he began to bite his nails, 'I really love her...' he whispered this again and Jamie had to take dangerously slow steps towards him, with Harry and Tom still holding her, to hear him.
'Then why...' she said fire still alight in her eyes, 'why say those things...why even think those things', she said starting to fumble for words, 'if you love her so much', Jamie said now standing right in front of him, and Harry and Tom using all of their strength in case she jumped on him. Jamie had a 6th sense, she could sense a presence and she could sense lying, and she knew, with all her heart, that he was telling the truth. She gently stuck her hand out, but Tom slapped it down. Jamie turned and glared at him, and he backed off. Jamie stuck her hand out again, and left it hanging in front of Danny. Danny looked into her eyes, he could still see fire, but a little bit of that fire was turning to ice in her eyes, as he knew she believed him. Danny outstretched his arm, and His hand held hers, in an agreement. An agreement to be friends, an agreement to trust each other, an agreement on Helene.
'Now, Draco, would you care to follow me into my room', Jamie said, as she walked towards her and door and Draco smirked at everybody behind her back. As Jamie had her hand on the door knob, a high pitched scream ran through her.
'Did you hear that?' Jamie asked as she turned to Draco.
'Hear what?' Draco said dumbfounded, as did the rest.
'That scream', Jamie said, listening harder. There it was again, louder and stronger than before. Jamie leapt from her position near the door to a position not far from the portrait. She ran out the portrait and down all the halls. It seemed as if the halls wanted her to be lost as she weaved her way through them, finally coming to the door she wanted, Jamie pushed open the entrance hall doors, and ran into the grounds. The scream sounded again. Helene.
'Helene...' Jamie yelled out. No response. Jamie ran to the 1st spot that came to her mind, The Lake. Running as fast as she could she ran to the lack and soon 3 figures came into focus. Helene, Harry Potter and god forbid, Voldemort.
'Prepare to die potter, prepare to die once and for all, and your little girlfriend too', Voldemort yelled as he raised his arm with his wand in hand. Jamie knew what was going to happen, and she just couldn't bare the look on Danny's face when the spell was cast, and knowing that she could've done something. Jamie ran, ran as fast as she could, and just as the last word came out of Voldemorts mouth it's like everything went into slow motion. Jamie jumped just as the green light came slowly out of his wand, and just as it was about to hit Harry and Helene, it hit Jamie. The world was still in slow motion as Jamie let out a scream of pain and slammed into the ground, everything echoed, As Jamie screamed, Helene screamed, Harry yelled and the rest pounding their feet to the ground running to Jamie.
'Foolish girl', voldemort screeched as she slowly ran away. As soon as Jamie stopped moving, everything went back to normal.
'Jamie...JAMIE', Helene yelled as she fell next to her friend, while shaking her. Danny ran to Helene and took her away from Jamie, while she still fought and hit him to get back to her.
