I woke up and got out of bed. Dad came in.
"You shouldn't be up Trixie. You're still weak."
"I'm fine."
But I wobbled. Dad caught me and put me back on the bed.
"You are not."
"Why do I have to be so weak?"
Dad walked back over to me.
"Trixie, look at me. What happened the other day was not your fault. That brute attacked you in the worst possible way."
"Aw, come now. Let's not resort to name calling."
Dad stood in front of me.
"Stay away from her!"
He then noticed I was getting paler and paler.
"Papa, help me."
"Leave my baby alone!"
Dracula left and dad ran over to my bed. I was asleep. Uncles Sirius and Remus came running in. Remus saw dad looking out the window.
"Carlisle?"
"He was here. She's getting weaker. I don't know if she'll make it."
"Of course she will make it, Carlisle. You have to have hope. She needs you to be strong. She needs all of us to be strong. We can't lose our heads over this."
"What do I do, Remus?"
"You be there for her. She will need you and the brothers now more than ever. She will be very scared and very weak."
Uncle Sev stood up in the Great Hall.
"Listen up, all of you. I am going to tell you this now, not to scare you but to tell you what could happen. On Monday afternoon, Trixie was raped by an enemy of her family. Albus has let him in to attack her. But this will be no more. There are people in the corner of this room that will be all around the school. We just want you to be careful. Do NOT wander outside by yourself."
He sat down. Hermione looked over to Demetri.
"Can we go see her?"
"I don't think right now is the best time. She is scared and needs the three brothers and her father."
She leaned against him.
"This is so horrible."
"I know Hermione."
My face was as white as the hospital walls.
"Come on Trixie; fight this. I can't lose you." Dad said.
He was crying.
"Papa? Mama says hi."
He chuckled a little. The three brothers ran to my side. I sat up and leaned my head against Caius. He sat down on the bed so I would be more comfortable.
"We're here Trixie. We won't leave your side."
Uncle Sev ran in.
"She must be a tiny bit better. She couldn't move an inch earlier."
"She died and came back to life, Severus. She saw Aurora." Dad said.
"What?"
He ran a diagnostic on me. I was still extremely weak. I fell asleep. Caius laid me back down so I would be comfortable. Dad had a tear rolling down his cheek.
"We almost lost her. I can't lose her."
"Carlisle, calm down. Jasper, Emmett. Could you take him hunting?"
"Of course. Come on dad. You really need to hunt."
Reluctantly, dad left with Jasper and Emmett.
"Was there another reason you sent him hunting?" Marcus asked.
"It's going to take her a long time to recover. If she almost died, she will be weak for quite some time. It would probably be better to take her away from Hogwarts so she can recover in peace."
"We could take her back to Italy. She is more comfortable there." Aro said.
So they were getting me ready to go to Volterra, Italy.
