Amy was standing at the edge of the Black Lake thinking about how she was going to handle the next few days when she felt a firm shove in her back, making her fall forwards in to the lake with a cry of surprise. Water filled her mouth and she was shocked as the icy water enveloped her, freezing her limbs.
Strong hands held her head under the water. The cold, her lack of oxygen and the weight of her clothes made her struggling became weak and after a few moments of thrashing around she was close to exhaustion. A few seconds later and she was still. She had no energy left to struggle with. Her lungs burned for air and the feeling contrasted with how cold her body was.
She didn't get flashes of her life, and she wasn't sure that she'd want to see her life again before she died. The parts of her life she remembered best were recent, and most weren't happy.
"GET OFF HER".
She heard someone yell, their voice distorted as it reached her through the water and she let herself fall unconscious.
Draco raced over the grass towards Diggory. The boy was waist deep in water and Draco had seen the struggling figure he was holding beneath the surface and he knew from the cry he'd heard that it was Amy. Diggory appeared to have not heard and Draco ran as fast as he could towards him before taking a great leap into the air straight into Diggory so that he released Amy and the two crashed into the water.
Draco surfaced and within seconds was pulling a limp wet body out of the water. Something that should have been difficult due to the amount of water in her clothes but he acted like it was no more strain then picking up a bag. He turned, holding her in his arms and kicked Diggory in the stomach so that he fell back under the water before struggling to the bank.
"Breathe" he commanded, thumping her on the back, but she just lay there limply.
"COME ON" he yelled. Panicking. Thumping her back again and again.
Amy coughed up water. It wasn't much but it felt like half the lake to her. When she was done her body convulsed several more times and she fell still apart from the shaking of her limbs.
"Draco?" she croaked, eyes still shut.
"I'm here, I'm here" he said, caressing her face in his hands, moving her soaking hair away from her face.
Her eyes fluttered before closing shut again and he picked her up again, bridal style, making sure her head rested on his chest he walked back to the castle, his own body sopping wet.
He walked through Hogwarts in an almost stately way, oblivious to the stares everyone was giving him as they stopped to watch him on their way to lessons.
"What the-" started Professor Snape. "Draco give her to me, I'll take her to the hospital wing" he said, holding out his arms for her.
"No" Draco said forcefully.
"Give her to me!" Snape repeated, as he approached Draco, shocked at how his favourite pupil was speaking to him.
"No" Draco said again. This time growling the word. His normally light grey eyes were now a dark, dangerous grey, and his expression prevented anyone else from approaching him as he made his way to the hospital wing.
"Drakie-"Pansy began as she ran up. His head swivelled to glower at her and she stopped in her tracks as he continued.
