Chapter 9

The next morning we were released and Dumbledor was waiting on us to say it was alright for Draco to come with me and that he and Severus would Floo with us at 9am. So we left to get ready for the day. As I was taking a shower I wondered what would meet me at the hospital. I dressed in a pair of jeans and a tight fitting sweater and carried my winter cape and scarf with me to breakfast. I met Draco in the hall and we went to our seats. We sat with the others and they all looked down Pansy and Blaize had found out what happened from the others and asked if I was ok. "I'm ok I hurt Draco though." "Madam Pomfrey healed me it doesn't hurt anymore." "So what's with the casual dress today?" asked Pansy. "We are going to go visit my grandmother in the hospital, they don't think she is going to live much longer she was hurt pretty badly." "Ouch, Klaire you need to control yourself more no more burning me." "sorry Draco I just get angry when I think about what they did to our families, I just hope I get to say goodbye to my grandmother, I didn't get the chance with my mom or my grandfather, but I guess none of you got the chance either we all know how Harry feels now." Draco hugged me and we waited until the bell rang and said bye to the others as they headed to class. Dumbledor and Severus approached us and said it was time so we went to Dumbledore's office and Flooed to the hospital.

We were led to my grandmother's room and walked inside. She had bruises and cuts all over her. I went to her side and took her hand. "Klaire, we just found you and now we are leaving you I'm sorry you have to suffer more." "It's not your fault it's his and I promise he will pay for hurting you." "Please don't let this destroy you or any of the others let this pain be your strength and stay together and you will succeed." " Severus, over Christmas Slade will contact you for the Funerals and the will reading, please take care of yourself for Klaire's sake." he nodded and moved to my side." grandma do you have to leave please don't leave me." "I'm sorry child I waited to say goodbye to you I don't have the strength to hang on any longer but I will always be with you in your memories, you were added to our will when we found you so please get to know the rest of your family they will keep you strong and continue your training and help your friends. Its time now I love you." and the lights faded from her eyes I closed her eyes and did something I hadn't done in a while I cried and held on to my father.

We left the hospital and went back to the school, it was lunch time, Severus tried to convince me to go to the kitchens but I refused " if anyone inside has doubt about Voldemort I cant hide I have to show them that even though most of my family has been taken from me I will not give in I will fight until he and his followers are all Dead." so I walked in with Draco Puffy red eyes and all with my head held tall he wasn't going to defeat me this easily. We sat down with the rest of the gang and I answered the question their eyes asked "She's gone, I watched her go" more tears made their way down my face and Draco hugged me we ate a little and Draco said "Let's go for a walk." I nodded yes and we left the great hall but not before I found Harry's eyes and motioned for him to follow us.

We went outside and met up with Harry and Ginny, they didn't say anything just hugged me and Harry wiped the tears from my eyes, "you always were the strong one you still are but it's nice to see you can cry, you aren't alone." "Thank you." as we were walking Harry slipped me a coin purse "I found these in Hermione's school trunk and figured they might come one handy soon." I looked at the coins and said " Harry I think its time Dumbledore's army was reformed with a few new members," nodding toward the Slytherins," you get in touch with the rest of the houses and well handle Slytherin this attack on some of the most respected pureblooded families will surely open some eyes, ill need to make some more coins and we probably need to inform the order and let them know what we are doing so they can help us know what to teach those who are willing." "We need to have a better way of preventing snitches though maybe Dumbledor or Snape has a potion or something we can use for questioning or a spell." "I know of something but I'm not sure I'm allowed to use it or not ill have to ask my father. As for now we will meet tonight in my room for planning and also clueing in the rest as to what we are talking about. Harry after dinner you and Ginny meet me under the stairs of the entrance hall ill have Magic meet us there so I can show you the secret passage to my room so you can get there when you need to. We will contact the others when we have more of a plan." "Ok sounds good but I think we need to get to class see you then." they walked off hand in hand and I said "about Damn time!"

Crabbe and Goyle left for class too and Pansy asked "are you two coming?" "We got the rest of the day off well see you at supper." they walked off and I asked Draco "why don't Pansy and Blaize get together?" "They will just don't push them they have to wait till their parents tell them who they are betrothed to which happens to be during Christmas." "So are all purebloods betrothed?" "Most are and yes you are betrothed?" "To who?" "You'll find out during Christmas like the rest of us." "Something tells me you already know who we are all betrothed to." "hmm maybe I do and maybe I don't. So what are you going to do till supper?" "A nap sounds good to me." "Yes it does I think ill join you."
