To all those who reviewed thank you very much. I appreciate it. Here is a short bit more. I've been busy lately finals are this week so I'm trying to fit it in… and remember I own nothing…and bow to the genius that is JK Rowling.

Snape passed around the top of the tower his every move followed by the glaring but frightened eyes of the two girls that stood in the center of the rooftop bound by ropes that had been conjured moments earlier. He gathered his thoughts as the cold wind blew at the girls gowns making them flutter.

"Now girls," Lucias Malfoy said calmly stepping through the door, managing a stinging dominance "We have asked to be alone with you because we know a little secret. Those goons have returned to the ball with the exception of the two that we have placed on the other side of the door to stand watch. Now…you may be asking yourselves why we brought you up here. Well that should be clear." He stepped behind the girls and placed his hands on Autumn's shoulders. He heard her breathe in sharply as if to warn him to remove his hands. "You give us what we want" his hands began to slide lower.

"Get you're filthy hands off me!" She said piercingly.

"Feisty little witch aren't you?" he asked removing his hands. "Like I said, you give us what we want, and we don't tell the entire school that you're little friend is a werewolf." He whispered into Autumn's ear. "Of course, as much as I want to touch you I can't do anything until you say its okay."

"I will never allow you to touch me." Autumn spat towards him. "Nor will I allow Snivellus to."

"Yes…well you re a bit forceful in your ways aren't you?" Lucias barked focusing his words on Autumn, but his eyes on Willow. "That is why I prefer to start with the weak ones."

"You so much as lay a finger on her and I-"

"You'll what?" Lucias turned violently toward her.

"Malfoy we said we'd just-"

"Severus not now!" He was inches from Autumn's face. "So girl you decide to challenge me when you so clearly have a disadvantage." He backed up and began to pace "I see no wand, and no place for a wand with what you've got on…but let's take a look shall we?" He reached for her leg.

The Second Lucias touched her Autumn felt her insides burn in anger and apparently the fire wasn't contained to inside her body. The ropes fell off her wrists in a pile of ashes and she punched Lucias square in the chin. He moved to counter the attack but was caught by Snape.

"No Lucias1 It was only about quidditch and you made it something more. I won't let you do this."

"STUPIFY!" Lucias screamed pointing his wand at Snape. The spell hit him and knocked him right into the wall behind him and he was unconscious. Lucias the tackled Autumn and her head hit the ground hard enough that she felt her skin split.

Willow was forced to watch the attack on her friend as she was still bound in ropes.
