Chapter 24

Jamie POV

When I awoke again, it was already the next morning. At first I thought I was alone, but then I felt another presence near by.

I looked to my right, and noticed a person with a red and gold hoodie covering his head. He looked to be asleep.

I watched curiously as the mysterious person began to stir, making his hood fall off. I smiled broadly, recognising his face as one of my best friends'.

"Remus," I whispered.

His eyes opened, and he looked at me, obviously a bit dazed. When he realised who I was, he smiled at me, and enveloped me in a hug.

"Jamie, it's good to see you."

"Same here mate," I grinned.

He let go, and sat back down.

"Why did you come back to Hogwarts so early?" I asked.

"Well obviously to see you!"

I furrowed my eyebrows, "How did you know I was back?"

He raised one eyebrow, "You don't know?"

I shook my head.

"It's all over the daily prophet!"

I looked at him with wide eyes, "Seriously?"

He nodded, and took out the said newspaper from his pocket.

He handed me the newspaper and told me to open it to page four.

(I'm terrible at writing newspaper articles)

Hogwarts' student back at school

On Saturday 22nd December, the Daily Prophet has written about the disappearance of a Hogwarts' first-year named Jemmia White. Albus Dumbledore (Headmaster of Hogwarts, Order of merlin, first class, Grand sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International confed. of wizards) has classified that he believes that his student was kidnapped by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

Jemmia has been missing for over a week, until yesterday night, she appeared in the Hogwarts' Hospital Wing. Unfortunately, Professor Dumbledore didn't give any information on her sudden appearance back at school.

I finished the short article, and handed Remus back his newspaper.

"So what really happened?" He asked.

I sighed, "Do you mind if I tell you later. I don't really want to talk about it, and I'm pretty sure Pete will want to hear the story too."

He smiled at me, "Sure."

"Ah, Miss White. You've woken up," Said the voice of Madam Pomfrey.

"I sure did ma'am."

"Great. I would like you to go to the great hall for breakfast today, if that would be ok with you. You need to stretch your muscles, and I'm sure you must be absolutely hungry. You can also go for a walk around the school if you wish, but I want you back in the Hospital Wing before dinner."

I stared at the witch. So when I catch a little cold, she keeps me in the Hospital Wing a week longer then I should, but right after I get kidnapped and tortured, she just lets me wonder around the castle. But I wasn't going to point that out. I didn't want to lose that little bit of freedom I've just been given.

I hopped out of bed, a little too quickly, making me dizzy. Remus caught me just in time, and led me towards the door. I noticed that I was still wearing the disgusting clothes I've worn the whole week, and so I told Remus that I want to go to the Gryffindor tower first, to have a shower and change of clothes.

We didn't see anyone on our way to the common room, since most of the school was away for the holidays.

We saw the first people once we were in the common room. We literally ran into James and Sirius. Remus crashed into James, and I into Sirius. Sirius thankfully caught me just before I hit the ground after losing my balance.

"Woah! Jamie, what are you doing out of the Hospital wing?" Sirius exclaimed, still holding me up.

"Remus?" James asked after noticing who he crashed into.

"Yup."

Sirius finally let go of me, and for some strange reason I regretted that he did.

"Alright there Remy?" He asked, "What you doing back so early?"

"I found out that my best friend returned to Hogwarts, and so I came," He replied.

"Ok. You three have a chat, and give me twenty minutes to get washed and changed."

Before they could protest, I dashed up the stairs and into the girls dormitories. I noticed that all the beds were deserted, meaning that all of my dorm mates left Hogwarts for the winter holidays.

I took out some random shirt and a pair of skinny jeans, and dashed into the bathroom.

I loved the feeling of hot water spreading over my body. I always loved water, and most of the things to do with it. I loved lakes, ponds, rivers, oceans, seas. I loved snow, hail and most definitely rain. I always thought rain was one of the best things in the world when I was younger. Whenever it rained, My mum would often find me laying on the wet grass after I snuck out into the garden.

I can think easier when I am in the shower or outside in the rain. The soothing rhythm of water hitting my skin would let me concentrate on hard topics. I thought about what has happened to me over the past week. How I went through more then many grown wizards all over the world. How I survived something even the most powerful witches were killed with. And I wasn't traumatised by it all, after all. I thought about what if I never got out of that blasted room, and back among my family and friends, I would be someone completely different. That I would no longer smile or laugh, but no. It wasn't like that. I had yet to laugh, but I have been smiling a lot since yesterday. After a while of thinking, I promised myself never to stop being myself, no matter what horrible thing happens.

I was in the shower until the hot water ran out, and I was standing in ice-cold water. I got dressed quickly, and smiled at the top I picked at random. It was the same one I wore to meet Sirius and James in Diagon Alley. The one Sirius gave me for my birthday. The one that said 'Mischief Managed'.

I put my hair into a messy bun like I wore it almost every day.

When I walked back down to the common room, I found James and Sirius laying on some couches chatting with Remus, who was sat on the floor opposite them.

"You ready J?" Sirius asked when he caught my eye.

I nodded and we made our way gown to breakfast.

The great hall was much emptier and quieter then usual, and when people caught sight of me, it got even quieter. I put on a smile, and made my way to the almost empty Gryffindor table. I didn't want anyone to think that I was too fazed by what happened to me. As I walked past, some people smiled at me, and others said that it's good to see me again.

As I sat down, I looked at the staff table, and had to do a double take. What on earth were my brothers doing there?

Victor waved at me, but Michael didn't even seem to notice me, he was so into the conversation he and Professor Brooke were having.

I looked back at the food on the table, and literally attacked it. I was so hungry! Madam Pomfrey gave me a special potion thanks to which I will not puke out the food I've eaten and help it settle in my stomach or something. Apparently after not eating for such a long period of time, without any potions I could get seriously ill.

Sirius, James and Remus didn't make any comment about my greedy eating, which I was highly thankful for. I ate everything I could get my hands on, until for the first time in over a week I was completely full.

After I was finished, I got up and walked over to my brothers and Ivy.

"Hey guys," I greeted, giving them a hug each, "What are you still doing here?"

"Professor Dumbledore said we could stay here till the 6th, which is when the students come back, so we can spend some time with our old best friend and sister," Victor explained, while Michael nodded.

I smiled, and excused myself saying I want to go for a walk.

I went back to my three best friends, and they accompanied me around the castle. It was good to be back.

It was about lunch time when we stumbled upon a big group of the most unwanted people possible.

The Slytherins all hang out together since there were just a few of them left, so the group we came across consisted of Avery, Yaxley, Mulciber, Nott, Snape and, of course, Malfoy. There were also some fifth years and a seventh year, none of which I recognized.

They smirked when they saw us.

"Well well well, look who's here," Malfoy grinned, "Tell me honey, did it hurt bad when the Dark Lord tortured you?"

I glared at him, but then put on a sweet smile, "It did at first, but then I managed to control myself."

"Poor little Gryffindor. And I thought you were supposed to be brave," Yaxley snorted.

"I know," I carried on smiling.

"What's up with your mouth? Did the Dark Lord torture you until you reached insanity and smiled at every single insult you receive?" Mulciber sneered.

"I'm merely being positive. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort," I replied cheerfully.

The Slytherins all glared at me, making my smile even wider.

When they didn't say anything, I rolled my eyes and started pushing past them, with James, Sirius and Remus following.

Suddenly someone grabbed my arms and pulled me into an empty classroom. Whoever it was, he brutally pushed me into a desk, and I turned to see my three friends being thrown into the classroom in the same way. The group of Slytherins filed into the classroom, and they magically locked the room, and Snape cast a charm I've never heard of onto the door. It sounded something like 'muffin-ato'.

James, Sirius and Remus quickly snatched their wands from their robe pockets, but they were disarmed by one of the fifth-years before they even got a chance to say a spell.

I didn't even bother to take out my wand, since I knew I'd be disarmed straight away. I just sighed and went to sit on a desk.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" James growled.

"Thinking about how to brutally punish you for your friend's sharp tongue," The seventh-year guy smirked.

"Very Slytherin of you. To punish someone for something someone else has done," I said, swinging my legs back and forth under the desk I was sitting on.

"Would you rather we punish just you and let your friends watch," Malfoy asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That's most definitely more fair then your first idea, but you're Slimy Slyths after all. I would expect unfairness from you," I smiled.

Malfoy walked right up to me, and grabbed my arm fiercely. I think it was supposed to hurt, but with my new immunity to pain, it didn't.

"You will not speak to those above you like that," he sneered.

"And what if I do?" I challenged.

"You'll regret it."

"I'm not scared."

"Very well," The seventh-year said, and threw a full-body-bind curse at my three friends.

I watched them stiffen, and fall backwards onto the floor.

"We don't want them running for help, do we?" He smirked evilly, and magically tied me up.

I still sat there with a bored expression, even though I now had ropes surrounding me.

"Well? What should we do with her?" Yaxley asked, walking up to me to stand next to Malfoy, "Can't exactly crucio her, can we?"

"Why not?" The seventh-year asked.

"Because they will go running to old fool Dumbledore and we'll be locked in Azkaban before we even graduate. Or kill some scum like her," Malfoy explained.

I raised my eyebrow. Introducing Death Eaters in training…

"How about we use that little curse Snape taught us?" Avery proposed.

"Cut her until she screams for mercy? I like it," Malfoy smirked.

He then grabbed me by the collar, and threw me down onto the floor. He took out his wand, and the ropes left me. Woah. Déjà vu.

"So who wants to begin gents?" Malfoy asked.

"I say we do it all at once," The brutal seventh-year proposed.

"Nice thinking, Rockwood," Malfoy praised.

The Slytherins surrounded me in a circle, and all pointed their wands at me. All but Snape and some of the fifth-years. I wasn't scared. I rarely am. I stood up bravely, and faced Malfoy.

"Bring it on, Blondie," I whispered.

At once, seven voices exclaimed, "Sectumsempra," and the curses hit me from all sides. I didn't feel the pain I expected, and I didn't fall to the ground crying like the Slytherins expected.

I felt a little tingling in some places around my body, and I felt my clothes get wet. I looked down at them, and noticed that I had growing wet, crimson patches all over my body. My t-shirt and trousers were ripped, and were showing off the fresh wounds caused by the horrible spell. A puddle of blood started forming around my feet, where the blood already dripped down. I started feeling dizzy from the blood loss.

The Slytherins were watching me surprised. I guessed that they must have used the curse a lot, and I was the first person who didn't scream or cry in pain.

I looked down at the puddle of blood below me, and then back up at the Slytherins. I was getting weaker with every second, so I felt I had to do something.

I quickly snatched out my wand, and pointed it at Malfoy, and cast the levicorporus charm James taught me. I did the same to all other Slytherins, before they got a chance to react. Once they were all hanging upside down from the ceiling, I cast the counter curse at my best friends, and fell to the floor, into my little pool of blood.

A pair of strong arms picked me up, and started running through the corridors with me.

I felt dizzier then before, and everything was going blurry. I felt terribly tired, but I heard the voices of my best friends telling me to stay awake as we ran to the hospital wing.

I heard a horrified gasp, and I was gently dropped onto something comfortable.

That was the last thing I remembered.

Sirius POV

Why is it that she always attracts so much trouble, I thought as we ran to the hospital wing.

Jamie was losing so much blood. We left a long, crimson trail leading to the room where the Slytherins were hanging. Her blood completely stained the wizard robes I was wearing, but I didn't care.

I looked down to the girl I was carrying in my arms as I ran. She was horribly pale and was breathing heavily through her mouth, and her eyes were half closed.

"Stay with us Jamie," I exclaimed, when her eyes started closing even more.

When she heard my voice, her eyes opened again, so James, Remus and I carried on whispering for her to hold on.

We barged into the Hospital Wing at full speed, making Madam Pomfrey, who was giving a Ravenclaw girl some sort of potion, jump up.

She let out a horrified gasp, and ran to the bed I laid Jamie down in.

Jamie's eyes were now closed, and her breathing was very quiet and she was paler then a ghost.

Madam Pomfrey snatched out her wand and started casting spells all over Jamie's wounds at the speed of light.

Madam Pomfrey then waved her wand over Jamie's body, and all the blood was gone. We could now see what a horrible state her clothes were in. They looked as if a bunch of furious wild cats had attacked them. There were rips all over them, and we could see the scars that now looked weeks old, thanks to madam Pomfrey.

Jamie's breathing slowly turned normal, and I took her hand. She was cold, and still deathly pale, but I could feel her slow pulse.

Madam Pomfrey looked at us and asked, "What on earth has happened?"

Remus was the one who answered, "We were attacked ma'am."

She looked terrified, "Not by Death Eaters I hope!"

James shook his head, "No ma'am. Just a bunch of Slytherins."

She nodded, but still looked positively terrified, "Mr Lupin, if you could please go and get the headmaster and professor McGonagall if you come across her. Oh! And there should be two gentlemen in professor Brooke's office, if you could get them as well. And do hurry."

Remus nodded, and dashed out of the Hospital wing.

James sat down on the other side of Jamie's bed and took her other hand. We sat like that in silence until Remus returned five minutes later.

He was followed by professors Dumbledore, McGonagall and Brooke and two twins who I recognised as Jamie's brothers.

The latter two along with Remus straight away made their way towards Jamie's bed, and sat down in silence, while the professors were talking to Madam Pomfrey.

"Filch didn't look too happy about the blood trail we left in the corridor," Remus whispered, "He looked enraged when I ran past him."

"Mr Black, Mr Potter, Mr Lupin, could you please tell me everything that happened?" Dumbledore asked.

James and I looked at Remus, telling him non-verbally that he should do the speaking.

He nodded, understandingly, and started the story.

"The four of us were walking around the castle when we stumbled upon a group of Slytherins. They started asking Jamie if she screamed when she was tortured, and she didn't seem to fazed, and gave an honest answer with a pleasant smile. The Slytherins carried on insulting her, and she just smiled. When they asked her why she's smiling, she annoyed them by saying something about being positive annoying people.

"We started pushing past the Slytherins, but they grabbed us, and pushed us into an empty classroom. They put a locking charm on the door so we couldn't escape. I, along with James and Sirius took out my wand, but we were straight away disarmed. Jamie just sighed and sat on one of the desks.

"The Slytherins then said something about punishing us for Jamie's sharp tongue, but she stood up for us. One of them, Malfoy I think, then asked her if she'd prefer it if they tortured her and let us watch. She agreed to that, and they put us under the body-bind curse.

"They were thinking about using the Cruciatus curse on her, but decided against it. They settled on using some curse that Snape taught them. Almost all the Slytherins used the curse at once on her, and she just stood there. She didn't seem to feel any pain, which shocked the Slytherins.

"She started going pale as she examined her cut body. There was blood everywhere. After a while, she whipped out her wand, and started casting a charm which sent all the Slytherins to the ceiling by the ankles, where I presume they are still hanging.

"She then used the counter curse on us, and Sirius picked her up. We ran all the way to the Hospital Wing."

The room was silent for a while. I noticed the Ravenclaw girl silently sneaking out of the Hospital Wing. She must have heard everything.

"Why is it that she always finds trouble?" One of the twins asked.

"I think it's the trouble that finds her," The other one said.

Ivy - Ta Dah! Chapter done all by myself

Dom - Except for the half that I did -_-

Ivy - You barely did anything!

Dom - I put the detail into your boring writing, and gave you an idea for the whole chapter. If not me, this chapter would probably be another wizard of oz one, and there'd be no slimy Slytherins or fighting in it!

Ivy - *Points wand at Dom* Don't you dare insult my writing or my house ever again.

Dom - It's curious how a Gryffindor and Slytherin are best friends and are writing a story together, don't you think?

Ivy - Yup
