The Big Fall

Chapter Four: The Plot Thickens

It was a week after my visit with Dumbledore. I lay awake keeping my unwilling eyes open like I had since that very meeting. I couldn't bear to sleep for the fact that I knew if I would end up having that dream I would break down. Not be able to hold it all in. And I had to for the sake of Harry. For the sake of me being able to do this. For the sake of….well…me. I needed to not sleep. I needed to not tell Harry. I needed to stay focused. So I laid there with him right next to me staying awake. Again. I felt him stirring right next to me. I knew he was going to wake. Classes started in about two hours. I looked at Harry's watch. He woke up and looked down at me.

"How long have you been awake?" He asked while stretching.

"Just got up," I replied with a smile.

Yes a lie to the one person I love but aren't lies what save us all? Aren't they what save everyone from the horrible life shattering truth? But of course telling the truth brings all back to this reality. This cruel forsaken world. The horrible truth that I was made to face. The truth that I didn't want to know anymore than I thought Harry would want to. But I guess I wasn't given the same treatment or thought. I wanted to tell someone anyone. It would drive me mad id I didn't.

The first person who came to my mind of course was my best friend, Candice. I knew I could tell her I got up and threw my white button up shirt on and buttoned it unevenly and threw my skirt on and I started to leave the room btu before I got to the door Harry moved himself in front of it. He looked down into my deep light green eyes. His lips started to move down to mine and I stupidly fell into it. The kissing the groping. Everything a teenager is not supposed to. That's what makes it so fun. We were about to take off each others clothing. Totally oblivious to the others in the same room who could be watching. When Ron woke up and brought us back to reality. Harry bent down towards my ear and whispered something.

On the walk to the Slytherin common room I thought about what he said.

"Meet me in the Room of Requirement at midnight tonight," he had whispered.

I wondered why the secrecy about it. I mean he could've asked me during breakfast. Actually he wouldn't be able to do it then because I wasn't going to go to breakfast. There were more important things. I thought about how ridiculous I must look to everyone walking down the hall. My buttons weren't buttoned in the right holes. Plus u had only managed to button up three of them in the middle. I had no shoes on, in the rush I had totally forgot about them. Also I had no make-up on. I normally put some on every day. Well not make-up more like mascara or eyeliner. That was usually it. Unless it was a formal event, then I got a little crazier with the make-up. But today nothing.

I walked in the Slytherin common room after mumbling the password to the portrait. I ran up to Candice's room but she wasn't there. So I walked into Malfoy's. I walked in to find Draco sleeping in his bed with a girl. Oh it wasn't Candice. But it was in fact Pansy Parkinson. I knew my mouth must have dropped. I looked at the water bottle in my hand. My morning delight before I could get a hold of some coffee. I took it and dumped it onto the both of them. Draco yelled and jumped out of bed while Pansy screamed and stayed in it. Too dumbfound to figure out how to get out. Draco looked at me and his whole face got scared. He knew he was caught.

"You filthy cheating bastard!" I yelled.

Then I punched him in his eye. I knew it wouldn't be long before it would turn purple. I smiled my little form of revenge for Candice until I saw her. I took out my wand and said a little incantation under my breath that made Pansy burst with boils. She started to say something but instead started to cry. I grabbed a hold of her and made her look at me straight in the eye.

"You just wait till Candice gets a hold of you," I whispered.

I could see the fear in Pansy's eyes. I knew she was afraid. Hell I had just scared the shit out of her and it wasn't even over. Draco grabbed me behind and before I could react he had me pinned against the wall.

"The Dark Lord has plans for you," he whispered.

My eyes widened. Draco signaled for Pansy to leave the room. She was the only one there. Then he turned me around. Our bodies were so close it was repulsive. I tried to move but he had me good. He kissed me hard on the mouth. I turned my head and was about to let out a scream when Draco covered my mouth.

"Now why would you go and do a thing like that?" he asked me.

I looked up at him fearful. He grabbed the wand out of my hand and threw it across the room. He grabbed my arms and put them behind my back. He walked over towards the window. He turned me around so that I could see Harry walking over to Hogsmeade with everyone else.

"There's a death eater waiting," Draco whispered.

I shook my head. Why had I been so stupid. I had forgotten that there were no classes today. I watched till he was no longer visible.

"Let me go!" I suddenly shouted.

I moved everyway I could I ended up kicking Draco down. I fell with him but I was quick to get back up. I ran to the door I grabbed my wand on the way out. I ran as fats as I could. Out of Hogwarts I rounded the corner to go to the gate. I saw Filch and Dumbledore talking. I stopped and he checked my name off the list. I started running again and when I had entered Hogsmeade I soon regretted wearing so little. It wasn't freezing but it wasn't exactly cool either. I spotted Harry ahead. He was about to enter the Three Broomsticks. I saw Ron tap him and point towards me. Harry turned around and I ran straight into him. He held me in his arms unsure of what was wrong.

Hermione looked at me and shook her head.

"You must be freezing!" she exclaimed.

I noticed my natural tan was gone to a pale color. I nodded. Harry took off his jacket and put it around me. He looked down and noticed I had no shoes. He shook his head and picked me up off the snow. We walked in and sat at a table away from everyone.

"So what's wrong?" Ron asked.

I ignored the question for a little bit scanning the room.

"Alright so here's," the story

I told them everything except for the reason why I had gone to talk to Candice. They sat there a minute. Taking it all in. Harry was the first to speak.

"Malfoy is going to be dead."

I looked at him. He was right next to me. A protective arm around me.

"Draco's the least of our problems," I said," We need to get back to Hogwarts and tell Dumbledo-"

I stopped in the middle of my word. Someone had just entered. Luscious Malfoy and after him a whole bunch of somebodies. I shook my head. How could I have been so foolish to think that by me just being here I could prevent it? I should've made them go back to the castle at one. Why now? My hand slid inside Harry's pocket where I had stowed my own wand. I pulled it out cautiously. Harry looked at me puzzled. Luscious settled his eyes on me. He took his index finger and waved it back in forth. As if telling me not to be foolish. I smiled. I knew it was a little threatening to them as if I had planned something. But in fact I was playing it all by wing. Luscious walked over towards the table and we both drew our wands at the same time. We both shouted opposite jinxes and I flew across the room and hit my head.

I looked up everything seemed to be in slow motion. I saw the Death Eaters grab Harry, Ron, and Hermione. I reached up to my head where it was pounding the most and when I pulled it back down I saw the blood. I passed out. Not because of the sight of blood but probably the head injury itself.
