A month later...
"Audrey! You have GOT to be kidding me!" Hermione stated. Audrey just laughed and continued to drag her new found friend through the halls of Hogwart's.
"Come on 'Mione! It'll be fun! Trust me!" Audrey said with another laugh as she tightened her grip on her Firebolt.
Audrey let go of Hermione once they had reached the Quidditch field. Audrey gave Hermione a cheeky grin before mounting her Firebolt.
"You are NOT getting me on THAT broom with YOU!" Hermione screamed as she backed away from Audrey, her eyes wide.
"Mione! Come on! It won't kill..." Audrey trailed off as a wave of dizziness hit her. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head before she fell to the ground unconscious. Hermione rushed to Audrey's side and shook her lightly.
"Come on Aud! This isn't funny." Hermione pleaded, panicking slightly, as she bit her lip, still shaking an unconscious Audrey.
A small moan escaped Audrey's lips as her eyes fluttered open. She gave a worried Hermione a weak smile before sitting up slowly.
"Are you okay? Just wait here, I'll get Madam Pomphry." Hermione said quickly as she got to her feet, getting ready to bolt straight to the Hospital Wing.
"NO! I'm fine." Audrey said firmly as she grabbed Hermione's arm and stood up. "Look, I'm perfectly fine, and I would REALLY appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone 'bout this." Audrey finished as she looked at Hermione with pleading eyes.
"Oh fine! But one more incident like this and I'm dragging you to the Hospital wing, whether you like it or not." Hermione said, with a sigh of defeat. Audrey gave Hermione a grateful smile and picked up her Firebolt.
"Well, we better head to the Great Hall, Dinner's started already." Hermione said as they walked side by side.
"Um... You go ahead. I'll just put my Firebolt back." Audrey said nervously her eyes not meeting Hermione's as they stopped in the middle of the hall. Hermione looked at her suspiciously before agreeing. The two friends exchanged short good byes before they parted ways.
"Chris, wait up!" Draco called out as he hurried after his best friend. Chris stopped in his tracks and turned around to face Draco, a goofy smile on his face. Draco smirked and folded his arms across his chest.
"Hm... let me guess. You just met up with Ginny." Draco said with a small chuckle before clearing his throat, a sneer appearing on his beautiful face.
"Did my ears deceive me or did the great Draco Malfoy just laugh?" Chris said raising an eyebrow, amusement swimming in his eyes.
"Shut it Snape!" Draco sneered before they headed towards their dormitory.
As they entered, dirty looks were thrown at them. Ever since Draco, Chris and Audrey had befriended Ron, Hermione and Ginny, they had been labeled as traitors. Half of the 6th year Slytherins had tried to beat them up but were instead sent to the Hospital Wing. After that incident, no one had dared go near them.
Draco and Chris them sneers in return before heading towards Audrey who was sitting in a dark corner. Her hair had fallen around her face like a curtain as her hands flew over a piece of paper.
"I didn't see you at dinner." Draco said as he took a seat beside her. Audrey quickly shut the sketch book in front of her, dropping her pencil in shock.
"Bloody Hell Dray, you scared the crap out of me!" Audrey hissed before bending over to pick up her pencil, from the cold dungeon floor.
"Why weren't you at dinner?" Chris asked pointedly as he looked at his sister with worried eyes, eagerly waiting for an answer.
"Sorry, I just got caught up with all my homework." Audrey lied as she stuffed her sketch book into her shoulder bag, refusing to meet her brother's questioning eyes.
"I'm worried 'bout you Aud. You've been skipping countless meal and you're losing weight like anything." Chris said softly, worry swimming in his green orbs, as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Just leave me alone!" Audrey hissed, pulling away from Chris, before storming out, causing heads to turn. Draco quickly got to his feet and hurried after her, leaving Chris alone.
Draco found Audrey sitting in front of the lake, her knees pulled up to her chest. Draco sat down beside her and sighed, looking at her petite figure, basked in the moonlight.
"Your brother's right you know. Draco said softly.
"Do you know what it's like to see his face every night? Haunting me, touching me." Audrey whispered as she faced Draco, her pain filled eyes piercing his.
"I see him every night Dracy! I feel it over and over again, and not matter what I do, I can't stop it! I can't stand it anymore Draco! I just want to die." Audrey sobbed as collapsed in his arms, burying her face in his chest. Draco wrapped his arms around the broken girl, wishing that he would wash away all her pain.
"Don't think of dying Aud. People love you so much. Chris and Severus love you, I love you..."
