Hey everyone, sorry about the last chapter kind of being so short. This chap was originally part of the last one. I was having a hard time posting chapter 14, so I thought I would shorten it. Hope you enjoy and review!

Chapter Fifteen

"Expelliarmus!" Draco's wand flew out of his hand and he flew off of Gus. Gus got up on his feet. He looked around for who had said the spell. He went over to Draco, who had hit the tree behind him, and helped him up. They walked around a little trying to find who had stopped them from continuing their fight. Candie emerged out from behind a tree, (Miranda was with the others by the lake). Candie eyes were murderous, she was definitely furious with the two boys.

"I thought I told you two gits to solve this one? Apparently, I hadn't made myself clear." Candie turned around and strutted back to her muggle friends. Draco and Gus glared at each other. Draco looking more disgusted than ever. Gus, well, he was trying to face his living fear, (Draco). Draco found his wand and they went back to the lake. Candie wasn't speaking to either of the boys. She ignored them completely.

"Candie won't talk to either of you until you solve the problem." Allyson said to the two. Then she whispered, "What did you do?" They informed her on what was going on; she shook her head, "No wonder she thinks you guys are gits."

Gus laughed a fake laugh that ended with a moan. "What are we going to do now?"

"Honestly? I have no idea." Draco said as he rubbed his jaw, "Listen, I'm sorry about pulling my wand out at you." Gus said nothing; they shook hands and went over to Candie's side. Candie turned her back to them. Draco looked at Gus. Gus shrugged. Draco was on her right and Gus was on her left. They leaned in towards her and kissed her lightly on the cheeks. She blushed, and her eyes watered; she started to run away from the lake. She stopped a few minutes into her sprint. She turned around and saw Heather and Allyson running towards her. They suddenly stopped and look horrified.

"Candie run!" Heather screamed. Allyson looked as if she was trying to scream but couldn't. Candie slowly looked up. She let out a piercing scream; she had been so mad that she had forgotten about the Whomping Willow. The branches swung for her, she dodged a few; she was tired and couldn't keep up with herself. A thin branch came hurtling towards her and Candie wasn't fast enough. It felt like a whip, she screamed in pain, she was lying on her back and was struggling to get back up. A branch hit the ground inches away from her. She crawled as fast as she could; she grabbed on to the branch and straddled it. The branch flew high into the air, she screamed still, Heather and Allyson still watched horrified. Heather didn't know what to do. Soon; Draco came up next to Heather and saw what they were staring at.

His eyes went blurry, he was starting to cry, and he held up his wand and screamed, "Immobilious!"

Neville who had seen Candie flying through the air had run out to the Whomping Willow and had gotten there just as Draco had immobilized the tree. Draco hadn't thought before he had done this. The tree had stopped very suddenly and Candie was falling through the branches. Neville aimed his wand towards Draco and yelled, "Locomotor Mortis!" Then he waved his wand over to Candie and yelled, "Windgardium Leviosa!" Candie stopped falling and floated down softly towards the ground as Neville guided his wand, and her. The spell Neville had performed on Draco was the Leg-Locker Curse. This was smart of Neville because as soon as Draco saw him; he started to curse Neville. When Neville performed the curse; Draco's legs locked together and he fell over loosing reach of his wand.

Candie landed on the ground and limped over to Neville; she hugged him and thanked him. Neville said good-bye and ran back towards the castle. He feared Draco would come after him. Candie then went over to Draco and performed a counter-curse on him. His legs sprang apart and he stood up immediately; Candie hugged him and thanked him also. Heather, Gus, Lindsay, Miranda, and Allyson stood there and watched the still tree. Lindsay, Miranda, and Gus had come to the scene when they heard Candie's ear splitting screams.

Miranda and Allyson took Candie up to the hospital wing. They told Madam Pomfrey what had happened. She had said Candie had a broken ankle. Candie was surprised when she saw Goyle in the bed next to her.

"I thought he was released today." Candie said as Madam Pomfrey settled Candie's ankle on a few pillows.

"I think he will be, later on tonight. He needs rest."

"Why was he out so early in the morning alone?"

"He was following someone…wanted to know where they were going. He had said something about people on brooms. He was following people on brooms. I guess he wasn't watching where he was going because he ran straight into the tree. Poor bloke." Madam Pomfrey said as she looked over at the sleeping Goyle. She fixed Candie up with a healing potion and told her to wait a few hours before she left.

Goyle suddenly awoke. He saw Candie on the bed next to his. He sat up, "What are you doing here?" he said astonished.

"I had the same kind of accident as you, except I wasn't knocked out cold." Goyle laughed a little. "Why were you out on the grounds so early in the morning? Why were you following Draco and me?" Candie was now whispering.

"I was already up; I wanted to make sure that Draco wasn't going to make you do something you didn't want to do. I was, protecting you, I guess."

"I'm not a child; I can handle things. He knows I am strong enough to say no. But why did you have to follow us? Why didn't you just tell Draco to respect me?"

"Draco hasn't been listening to me since my father was here. I don't know what happened. I'm sorry Candie; I'm not so sure about Draco now, before I was fine because I didn't know you were my sister."

"You are being over protective. I admire that, but please, don't." Candie laughed. Her eyes glistened and were a bright blue-silver now. Goyle stared at Candie for what seemed forever. He blushed and asked Madam Pomfrey a question. She nodded and hurried towards her office. Candie looked confused; her head was calked to one side as she watched Madam Pomfrey glide away.

"It's this medicine I have to take; it helps me stay focused on what's happening. If I don't take it, I loose track of what's going on around me. I guess the tree hit me in the head awfully hard." Madam Pomfrey came back with his medicine, and Goyle was fine again. They talked for a really long time. Madam Pomfrey examined Candie's ankle.

"A few more minutes I think. You will walk on that ankle like it hadn't even broken."

Candie was surprised, "It takes months for a broken ankle to heal; and you are saying that I will be able to walk on it in a few minutes?"

"Ah! But you are in the Wizarding World; people can fix broken bones in a heart beat."

"Yeah, Madam Pomfrey can do anything." Goyle smiled gratefully. Madam Pomfrey blushed and gave Candie another dose of the healing potion.

It was nearly dark when Candie was released. Goyle was released at the same time, so they headed over to the Great Hall for dinner. They met up with their friends, ate their dinner happily, and headed back to the common room. Draco took a hold of Candie's hand. He pulled her into the common room, and they sat and talked for a long time by the fire.

"So what's this with you and Neville?" Candie carefully asked.

"I should ask you the same question." Draco said with a small smirk. "Neville is practically a squib, he doesn't belong here. This school is for witches and wizards, not squibs." Draco was fierce. "

"What's the difference? I mean I didn't even know I was a witch until your father came to my door. Besides, Neville knows just as much magic as anyone else here at the school. Well, maybe except for the teachers." Candie paused. "Is that the only reason why you two don't get along?"

"Yes." Draco lied. Candie looked at him angrily. "Okay, okay, I know I can't lie to you. No, I've liked picking on him ever since my first year here."

"Why is that?"

"I honestly haven't any idea."

Candie laughed, "I think you have a very good idea Draco." Candie was trying hard not to give in. The pure look Draco had made her heart sink lower and lower every time. "If he is such a squib then how was he able to rescue me from that bloody tree?"

"Pure luck! He wouldn't have been able to do anything if I hadn't immobilized the tree."

"Uh-huh!" Candie laughed a high laugh (this laugh is in "Newsies"). "When you did that, I practically fell the rest of the way. Neville saved me from actually hitting the ground. And here you are putting him down?"

"Listen, I just don't want you do get into any more problems as it is. You already have two blokes fighting over you in the first place; do you really need another?" Draco said this quietly. Candie's eyes turned red, she stood up and ran to her dorm. Draco knew he had done something wrong when Candie had slammed the door so hard that it made the ground vibrate. He sighed; he lowered his head and walked out of the common room.

"I need time to think things over." Draco said to himself. "Candie is having a hard time deciding what to do." Draco walked around the school grounds. About half an hour later, "I got it!"
