Hello again! I'm trying to write longer things but it's hard and I don't know how far I want to go. So, hope you enjoy and review!!


Two weeks had passed since the big night and Drew was still haunted by nightmares and his own memories. He thankfully dodged the spell that was heading for him and just in time for the Headmaster, Professor Bill Weasley, and Cecily to come around that now famous corner that was avoided at all cost by Drew.

It had been an amazing battle but it all happened too quickly. Drew couldn't take it all in. He was just staring at Paige's motionless body, thinking that it had only been seconds since they were talking, forty eight hours that they knew each other, but she protected him when he was vulnerable. By the time it was over, Paige was on the ground with Madam Promfrey hovering over her doing her best to save her. When Drew finally tore his eyes away, he noticed how the world had changed around him. Cecily and Jason were by his side doing what he had been doing. McGonagol was gone, he later found out that the Death eaters took her again. But many more people were there now. They looked tired and sad, they were the Order. Some he recognized as his teachers he had that day. Others he recognized from pictures in books, the teachers that he was supposed to have. Everyone was motionless, like Paige. In fact, Drew thought time had stopped completely until he realized that Madam Promfrey was moving. Then the Order started to react.

Professor Lupin was running to his daughter, a look of panic and terror in his eyes, and a wave of guilt swept over Drew.

'I should have had my wand with me. She shouldn't have had to protect me.' he thought.

Professor Lupin knelt down next to his daughter and started stroking her hair. He started whispering with Madam Promfrey, but Drew didn't want to know. He looked back up and listened to what the rest of the Order was saying.

"We have to follow them. We'll let you know what we find. Keep an eye out for anything unusual." said a woman Drew remembered as Hermoine Granger.

"Take care, and don't worry about us." replied Bill Weasley.

"You need to teach more protection and defense spells to first years, and then maybe this won't happen again." said Ron Weasley glancing once more at Paige.

"Of course." replied Tonks.

And with that, part of the Order left, on the trail of the Death eaters.

Paige spent a couple days in the hospital, her father leaving her side only to teach classes, those he remembered to go to. Jason and Cecily visited everyday, but Drew couldn't face her. Whenever he thought about going to visit, he thought back to that day, he felt more guilt, and couldn't. He spent a lot of his time like that, just thinking, remembering, alone. He spent lots of time staring at books, out the window, in the fireplace. His stomach was constantly tied in knots. He couldn't pay attention to anything and was doing horrible in school.

But then Paige got out of the hospital wing and started talking with…more like at, Drew, whether he wanted to or not. Eventually, Drew started talking again, then joking, and finally laughing. The group was back to life the way it was supposed to happen. School, fun, sleep, and repeat.

School was back to normal, you know, in a missing-teachers-and-more-DADA-class sort of way. Like Ron had advised, Tonks was teaching defense and other spells to the students. Of course, Jason and Cecily were good, but Paige was great. And Drew, considering he had been failing all of his classes not long ago, was amazing. Knowing now that Paige was ok and didn't blame him, he knew he couldn't let that happen again. Paige gave him a second chance and he wasn't about to screw it up.

"Ok class, that's enough practice for one day, take your seats." said Tonks after another very successful class.

"TAKE YOUR SEATS!" she yelled again, her hair turning fiery red, then back to the bubble gum pink after the class sat down.

"Thank you. You guys are doing great! You just keep working on it and you could take on older students no problem. But don't or you'll lose many house points…Got it? Good, now get out of here before I assign homework for the weekend.


Well, I've been working on this for a long time so I'll stop here, post, get some REVIEWS (hint, wink, nudge, cough, wink…) and I'll work on the next chappie…eventually.
