I walked back to my dorm, and slipped on some warm winter clothes. I wanted to be warm enough that I wouldn't have to stay indoors all the time. I went through my entire suitcase to find something suitable to wear in the snowy weather. When I pulled out a long sweater and woolen pants out of my suitcase, I walked into the bathroom. There was no point in doing my make up over, I wasn't exactly going out on a date, but just so I looked a little more decent, I dabbed on some makeup.
When I got out of the bathroom, I bumped into Hermione, and she looked at like as if I was a dementor. I wasn't sure what was going on, until I noticed she had run up the stairs to get to me in time.
"Lily, you're almost late, hurry up," Hermione said breathlessly.
"Relax 'Mione, I have at least two more minutes before they leave, and then even if they do leave I can get there quickly," I answered.
"How?" Hermione asked.
"The secret passage ways," I replied.
"Don't get upset, but I want to get there like a normal person," Hermione said.
"Well 'Mione, the thing is that we actually are not normal people, we are the exact opposite of normal," I said, and slipped on my sweater.
She looked at me in a way that told me that she was getting annoyed. I just raced out of the room before she could say anything else. Draco was waiting for me, and I wasn't the kind of person keep someone waiting. I ran out of the common room, and I ran through the twisting, spiraling corners and stopped right at the wall where the Room of Requirements. I waited for Draco to arrive, which wasn't long after I got there. I slammed him into the wall before we left, and planted a soft kiss on his lips. He looked surprised that I would be the one to start that, but then he got over it. We walked to the passage way, and slowly made our way through it.
If we ever got to Hogsmeade, I would ever be so pleased. Draco was good at navigating through the mysterious, dark passage ways, and anyway Harry had to known about this earlier. Draco held me around the waist, like as if I was his, and I was. I felt more secure with him with me at all times. My love for him, can't interfere with my job. I was here to help Harry, not to fall in love with a death eater.
I wanted to be with Jayden, but my guess is that we would finally get to see each other soon. Draco leading the way to honeydukes, as we arrived to the end of the passage way, the ground gave away underneath me. I screamed as I slipped into the hole beneath me got bigger.
"Go, save yourself!" I called out to Draco, but he swooped down, and grabbed my arm. "I won't leave you!" he called back. I watched as the ground was starting to give out from underneath him. I had to think fast. How could I save him? I wasn't thinking right, but I grabbed dirt threw it at him, and it made him let go. I pushed him back before he started to fall as well.
The ground was already dark, but without Draco's arms around me, it seemed much darker. I couldn't see anything around me, and I dropped my wand on the ground as I began to fall. Draco. I couldn't think of anything else but him. Harry will attack him for letting me drop, but if I could find my wand. I'm pretty sure it fell down here. Let's hope I don't step on it, and break it.
I shuffled my feet around the floor to find my wand without stepping on it. Well, my life was going to turn from bad to terrible. Finally, I kicked something on the floor. I bent down to grab it... Draco's wand. Without it he would be stuck in the dark. This wasn't my best day, I had to find a way to get this back to Draco. The darkness was complete and merciless. I couldn't see where I was going, and I didn't have my wand with me. I'll have to try to light my way around with Draco's wand. "Lumos,"; I murmmured.
A light at the end of the wand lit up, but wasn't as bright as the light would've been on my own wand. I stumbled forward, and looked for a way to get out. First I wanted to try something. "Accio wand!" I called. My wand came zooming towards me. Okay now to find a way out.
The walls of the ditch were to steep to climb. I wouldn't be able to make it out without flying somehow. I'm not going to give up. Draco was up there, and going through this mess of a place was hard enough with light. "DRACO!" I yelled. Waiting for an answer, I kept searching for a way up. I heard a faint call for my name "Lily." I was relieved to know that Draco was okay.
I slipped the wands in my pocket, and started to climb the steep wall. How hard could it be anyway? It was way harder than I thought it would be. I was trying my best, but my best wasn't good enough. I was only 1/4 of the way to the top in about a half an hour. This was going to take some time. I wanted to call out to Draco to get some rope, but I knew it was too dark for him to get out of here with light.
I kept at a steady pace. It felt like rock climbing. You have to use your strength and brains to climb this cliff. I wasn't about to stay defeated in a hole for eternity. Draco probably would've found a way out without light to save me though. Half way there. My arms were stinging. I was never strong enough to do rock climbing that was this intense. I swear that this expedition will leave me scarred in one way or another.
My head felt like it was going to explode, but I kept climbing. I needed to get out of this ditch. I wasn't going to stay a whole lifetime stuck in here without anyone to talk to. I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. I'm almost there. I'm almost there. I heard a voice some yards away from me call out "Lily." More than 3/4 there. I had to keep going. My arms felt like jelly, and I was just about to give up when my I heard my name again.
I was only few feet away from the ledge of the cliff. I had to reach the ledge. I needed to get out of here once and for all. I almost made it. I swear I could have held Draco's hand if the part of the cliff where my right foot stood on hadn't broken. I closed my eyes ready to fall, and die from the impact.
