We went back to Becky's which is where I was staying since Becky said she didn't want me out of her sight.

"I don't think he'll come after me," I replied. "He didn't chase me...he doesn't want me anymore I guess."

"Schyler did he ever even want you in the first place?" Mitch asked.

"More than Pansy," I answered. "More that any other guy in our house. All the other boys pretty much ignored me."

"What about that one guy?" Becky asked. "Zabini?"

"He and Draco were best mates," I replied. "I never liked Blaise that way. We were just friends. Come to think of it I wouldn't have made it through school without him. He stopped Draco once."

"A Slytherin helped you?" Heather asked.

"What about you?" I asked.

"Well I mean other than me."

"Yeah. He was nice to me. We were friends. He told me I was better than Pansy."

"Well der," Becky said. I grinned.

"I'm going to bed," I said. "I'm tired."

"Are you sore?" Mitch asked. "Do you want us to make you some murlap paste?"

"Sore?" I asked. "No. I'm fine." I winced a little as I moved my arm.

"Fine huh?" Mitch asked.

"Yes. I'll be fine. The paste is slow anyway. I'll just go to bed."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Good night guys."

"Night," they replied. I walked down the hall to the room Becky had made up for me. I stepped inside and tried to turn on the overhead light. Nothing happened.

Huh. The lightbulb must be dead. I turned back to the door and leaned out into the hall.

"Hey Becky!" I called.

"What?"

"The overhead lightbulb died!"

"I'll change it in the morning! Use your wand!"

"Kay!"I reached for my wand and muttered, "Lumos." The tip of my wand lit up. I turned back around and held my wand up so that I could see around the room.

"Hello there Schyler," Lucius's voice sneered. I whipped around and came face to face with Draco's father. He shoved me into the room and shut the door.

"It seems Draco has been attacked in his room," he said. "Do you know anything about that?"
"N...No..." I stammared backing away and tripping over my own feet. I hit the floor and scrambled to my feet.

"Oh I think you do. I think your friends figured out a way to break the spell around the manor and you helped them attack your own husband!"

"Lucius I swear I didn't do anything!" I whimpered. He grabbed me and yanked me to my feet.

"Let go of me!"

"I've come to take you back."

"No!" I jerked away and ran to the door. I threw it open and ran out into the hall.

"Becky!" I screamed. "Guys! Lu..."

"Stupefy!" he hissed. I fell to the ground and Lucius came and picked me up just as Becky and the other two came into the hall.

"No!" Becky cried as Lucius Disapparated.
