Broken Wings

Chapter 24: The Final Battle Approaches

By: Midnight Walker

Asyah sat in the hospital wing staring at the cracked ceiling; she had woken up three days ago. Since then Draco had not left her side. Although Draco was not by her side this morning; he had left to tell the headmaster she was awake. The day before he had left her some clothes to wear so she could change out of those horrible hospital pajamas; god she hated stripes!

Asyah slipped on a pair of tight black stretchy pants, a white long sleeved shirt that had cuts that exposed her pale shoulders, and her favorite pair of black and white converses.

She used a handy spell that cleaned her hair without water, and tossed it into a pony tail; it had grown down to her butt throughout the time she had been sleeping. As she was brushing the end with a non-tangle brush when Albus, Minerva, Severus, and Draco came in. She couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face.

Soon they stood in front of her and asyah stood and was engulfed in a bone-crushing hug from Minerva, and a gentle one from Albus. She stood back and looked at Severus; he looked at her as well. She sighed, rolled her eyes and hugged him hard; he returned her hug fiercely. "I have missed you, daughter." He said in her ear, and she smiled.

She shook her head at him; he was still the same. Albus turned his sparkling blue eyes to her own.

"Miss Granger, I would like you and Mr. Malfoy to meet me in my office after lunch; there are some things we need to discuss." Asyah nodded her head at him. He was giving her time to settle in and she appreciated that.

Soon the professors left her and Draco alone. She looked at Draco and smiled at him. He leaned over to her and kissed her passionately, she returned his kiss with just as much passion. She straddled his lap and his hands gripped her hips. Her hands found there way up his muscular chest, to the sides of his face.

His hands glided up her back to caress his breasts through the thin material of her bra. She moaned softly as he broke the kiss and licked his neck. The two lovers were startled by the shrill voice of madam pomfrey.

"What do you think you're doing!" She yelled her face turning an interesting shade of purple. "I can't let you continue to…about to…" she said obviously flustered and lost for words.

"Do you mean having sex, madam pomfrey?" Draco said innocently as though his girlfriend was not straddling him and his hands weren't under her shirt.

"Yes that!" she yelled once more. The two lovers began to laugh hysterically; she turned a deeper shade of purple. The two found it very funny that she could take off someone's clothes to treat them yet couldn't say the word sex. She pointed to the door; she obviously had had enough. "Out, out!" she screeched.

The two made their way out of the wing laughing, tears of laughter running down their face. They leaned against the wall as they caught their breath. Draco grabbed her hand and he kissed it as he looked into her eyes.

Her eyes were trained on his silver ones and she couldn't have looked away if she wanted to. As he lowered her hand from his mouth, he spoke still looking in her eyes.

"You know I love you right?" he said to her watching as she nodded. As asyah looked at him wondering where this was going, she saw the look of uncertainty pass through his silver eyes. "But, do you love me?" He asked his voice so soft and timid. He lowered his head unable to look into her eyes; he cursed himself for being so weak.

She stepped closer to him and made him look her in the eyes.

"Of course I love you, silly. You mean everything to me Draco; you are my world. I could not see myself living without you." she said her eyes sparkling and her hand caressing his cheek. Since asyah was shorter than Draco by at least a good five inches, he had to lean down a little to kiss her.

The kiss showed so much emotion it nearly knocked her off her feet, and made her head spin. Asyah knew why he asked her that question; he was preparing for the war. Even though they were immortal, it was still a possibility that they could be killed.

When they pulled away, Draco embraced asyah and held her like that for what seemed like an eternity. Soon the broke apart and decided to head downstairs and walk around the castle together, since they had a lot of time to kill.

After their walk around the castle, Draco noted that they have 1 hour left before they had to meet in Dumbledore's office. The two lovers sat by the lake and asyah stared at her reflection. Long black hair, dark blue eyes that were fused with honey…wait. Since when were her eyes a mixture of blue and light brown? 'Never.' She thought. It must have been a reaction of the powers she used to get escape asyah's dream prison.

She shrugged it off; it's not like it looked half bad or anything. She snuggled up to Draco; his arms automatically came up and pulled her closer to him. At was spring and the flowers were blooming and trees were growing back their leaves and such.

The sky was a clear blue with a few clouds here and the grass was full and green. A light breeze blew her black hair slightly; it betrayed the sense of foreboding she felt. Asyah knew that the war was coming; it was closer than any of them thought.

How many days like this did they have left? No one knew. Asyah wanted to spend this day as if Voldemort didn't exist and she was just a regular seventeen year old girl. She closed her eyes and leaned against Draco's chest, the beating of his heart lulling her into a dreamless sleep.

Autumn flicked her wand and added caramel highlights to her blonde hair. She slipped on a white track suit that felt like silk, when you touched it. She flipped her long blonde hair over shoulder as she laced up a pair of white sneakers, that she had found when she went to Madrid last summer.

She applied a little lip gloss and left down the Slytherin girls' dormitory. She missed Adrick a little but not too much. They were almost the equivalent of best friends, or as close as assassins can get.

He had been killed after he couldn't complete his task, of swooning Hermione Granger. She hadn't succeeded either but the dark lord looked past that when he saw what he had gained. Granger had turned to the dark side and became exactly what he wanted her to become; his pawn.

A pawn that he could move wherever he desired. But little did he know that his little pawn had changed her mind. She was now leaning more toward the light side and had forgiven Draco for betraying her. Now autumn saw what she did was wrong; she should have not tried to come in between the two.

She desperately hoped that her boyfriend Harry potter, could defeat the dark lord…her life was riding on him…

Ginny woke from her deep sleep to see that the sun was high in the sky. (A/n: In this story, there are two groups of vampires; those who can walk in sunlight, and those who can't. Asyah, Draco, and Ginny, fall under category 1. Thank you.)

She felt well rested for some odd reason, and she was naked. She grabbed her head and thought of where she was and what had happened. She remembered the club, dancing, kissing someone, and oh god.

She groaned. How did she always get herself into these situations? She was such an idiot. She grumbled to herself and stood taking the sheet with her. Her "lover" was no where to be found. She walked around the apartment until she found the bathroom across from the kitchen, in which her "lover" was sitting down and drinking coffee.

Breakfast was placed where she would most likely sit and a cup of coffee was beside her plate. He stood and walked up to her and Ginny couldn't move she was compelled by his muscular build with his long black hair and grey eyes.

His lip and eyebrow piercing glinted in the morning light and Ginny was hypnotized. His lips descended onto hers and she instantly responded. His tongue found its way into her mouth and she moaned as she felt the tongue ring slide against her tongue. He released her and told her to shower; her breakfast was going to get cold.

She nodded; she couldn't have refused if she wanted to. As she leaned against steamy tile wall inside the shower, she thought to herself. She knew something was wrong with this situation, but she was compelled to stay with him. HIM! She didn't even know his name!

She sighed and slid down the wall. Her life sucked so much sometimes. Ginny knew he was not your average guy…yet she stayed.

As she sat down with him, she could feel the power and evil coming from him and it excited her.

She found out his name was Ethan; very sexy. As they left his apartment heading down to the tattoo parlor down town, she never noticed the dark mark that was tattooed into her lower back, or the brand of a pentagram on her thigh…
