AN At the end!

Chapter Twelve

"How does Potter excel in Potions now?" Pansy's voice came out of no where as Celeste looked up from her essay she was checking over. "It's as if he is the choosen one after all!" Parkinson dramatically sighed and slumped into the armchair as the young blonde witch only rolled her eyes.

"Stop being so dramatic." Draco's voice spoke out of no where. Celeste smiled at her brother as Parkinson squealed and ran to hug him. "Get off me! I need to speak to my sister." He hissed at her before Celeste had quickly packed up her stuff and put her bag up. Making sure she was comfortable. Grabbing the cloak Carrow had given her before heading out of the Common Room. It was cold in the hallways now. Winter had came to Hogwarts. Snow and ice covered everything outside. They were on the Holiday break now. Celeste followed her brothe in silence as they reached outside to a courtyard by the bridge. She could see her breath as she sighed. It was defiantely winter outside. Heck, it's Christmas after all!
"It's cold." She spoke as Draco nodded. He stopped as did she. The lake was in sight. Not frozen but could imagine how cold the water would be right now.
"Mother understands why we didn't go home." He spoke as a screech was heard from ahead on their left. She looked to the way where the sound came. Black smoke was hitting against the shields.
"When will they learn?" Draco hissed.
"Even if they do, constant hitting on the shields is going to break them sooner or later." Celeste spoke. Draco looked at her with his eyebrow raised. Celeste nodded her head with a smile. "I found a way to break the shields now. I need help on the outside as well though. The shield needs to be penatrated from both sides." She explained.
"Right, we can send a message through the cabinet. Owls are being checked now. Mother told me when she sent us the old text books from our library." She added and sighed a little.
"So, we send a message through, ask for someone to meet you at the entrance grounds and go from there?" Draco asked.
"Yes. It needs to be the morning before they come." Celeste added. Watching her brother and sighed a little. "The Slug Christmas Party is tonight. I haven't even asked anyone to go." She shooked her held and reached her hand up to her necklace that held the rose inside a vile along next to it, the symbol.
"Ask Blaise. He is into you." Draco suggested. Celeste rolled her eyes and nudged Draco before leaving his side to go back inside.

It took only a few hours to finish getting ready. She would not be attending the feast with her brother in the Hall. Instead, she had asked Blaise as a friend to the party. Drinking a cup of the hair potion as her blonde hair went perfectly straight against down to her waist. Smiling as she ran her fingers through her hair gently. She slipped on the dress she nicked from her aunt. It was pure back with laced sleeves. Taking one look into the mirror before leaving with her wand inside of her sleeve. Walking down the hall with each click oh her heels against the stone ground. Seeing Zabini in a black and white dress robe held out his arm for her. Celeste only brushed past him and shook her head.
"As friends, remember?" She asked him as he frowned and followed.
"So, why don't you like me?" He asked her.
"I have more important things to deal with than relationships." She added as she entered the room.
"Ah!" Boomed a voice. "Malfoy! Welcome! I was begining to wonder if you would ever show up to any of these events. Like Potter, he tends to ignore them as well." Professor Slughorn spoke.
"Well, you know me! Always busy with something! Though, my brother told me to come." She added with a small chuckle before standing next to her teacher as a picture was taken.
"Daily Prophet my dear. To have such a powerful being right here!" The Wizard boomed and dashed away. Celeste gave a confused look at her teacher who only shrugged his shoulders.
"Hi!" Two voices spoke together. Celeste stopped and blinked a couple times.
"I'm Hestia!" One girl spoke.
"I'm Flora!" The second one spoke. They were twins. Raising a brow at them.
"The Carrow Twins!" They spoke in unsion. Shaking her head and smiled.
"Are you two...?" She began.
"Related to the Carrows? Yes we are. In fact, our aunt spoke of you greatly. We're lucky to be part of the Sacred Families. Finally nice to meet you." One of them spoke. She couldn't even tell the difference between the two!
"I don't even know what to say." She shrugged but smiled at them.
"We hope to become friends. After all. You're marked." Flora spoke as she pointed at Celeste's chest.
"Excuse me?" The young blonde spoke.
"Oh don't worry. It's a good thing. Rare as well. First time it happened in our family for several generations." Hestia spoke as the two twin witches left. Celeste had bumped into Luna who smiled and hugged her before dazing off again. She smiled at her friends before seeing Hermione hide with Potter. Shaking her head as Professor Snape entered behind the curtains as well. Celeste sighed and heard raised voices.
"Professor, this boy claims he was invited to your party." Filch's voice spoke.
"Alright! Alright! I was gate crashing!" Draco's voice spoke.
"Allow me to escort him out." Snape's voice spoke.
"Certainly, Professor." Draco added with an attitude. Celeste only watched as her brother and Snape left the party. Not only a few moments later, Potter had followed. Deciding the best of it, she followed right after him. Hearing voices arguing about an unbreakable vow and helping. Potter had turned and nearly jumped when he saw her.
"Evesdrop much Potter?!" She snapped at him before pushing past him. Storming off back to the Common Room. Not even caring that she left Blaise at the party. Probably snogging someone else since she turned him down. Again.

Christmas had came and gone quickly as weeks passed. Snow still covered the grounds a little. Keeping up with homework was getting harder each week. She decided to help the nurse in the Hospitalwing with the Fifth years stressing over the finals. Being told she has a healing hand just like her mother. Beaming with pride before entering the Great Hall to eat. Hearing cheerful voices as Celeste looked up. Katie Bell had came back. Celeste was about to ask if she was alright before seeing Potter beat her to it. She ignored it and decided to take her leave. Packing her homework up as it was finished into her bag before leaving the Hall. Taking a turn as she spotted Draco quickly disappearing into the bathroom. Potter only a minute later. Before she knew it, there was shouting and spells being shot.
"MURDER! MURDER IN THE BATHROOM!" The voice of Myrtel was ringing in her ears as Celeste dropped her things and ran into the bathroom right when Snape did. Seeing Potter back up. There she saw. Draco laying on the floor. Her brother. Twin brother. Covered in blood pouring from his body.
"Draco!" She shouted as Snape demanded from Potter what happened only for Harry to leave. Snape bent down and started muttering a spell as if it was a song. Celeste could feel her eyes burn to see the blood fall back into his body.
"Help me Celeste. He must get to the hospitalwing." Snape's voice spoke as she nodded and quickly aided Draco. He was heavy but with Snape's help, it made it easier for them.
"Lay him here." The nurse spoke. Snape had left but Celeste took a seat as she watched Draco placed into bandages. Once done, she left. Celeste stayed where she was and wiped her eyes. She would have written to mother right away but with the owls being watched and read, she hadn't dared.
"Celeste?" Draco's voice spoke weakly.
"I'm here." She gently took Draco's hand into her own. Gently squeezing it. "What happened?" She asked in a whisper.
"I cursed Katie Bell and Ron." Draco admitted. Celeste nodded her head as she already knew this. Quickly looking around to make sure they were alone. They were. "Ther cabinet?" He asked.
"It's done. I'll be meeting with Antonin here in a few minutes." She spoke as Draco nodded. "The attack will be tomorrow night." She added. He nodded again. "Here, drink. It'll give you strength for tomorrow." She spoke as Draco took a sip from the goblet.
"Go. You need to finish this." He added. Celeste nodded and sighed.

Crunch. Each stone under her stones made the sound. It was dark outside as Celeste held the robe tighter around herself. The air gave a cold chill that made her shiver. She could see the man standing on the other side waiting on her.
"Shall we?" He asked as she nodded.
"Yes. It requires more though." She added.
"How much more?" The familiar voice of her aunt came and Celeste couldn't help but smile. "Your mother is very proud of how brillant you've become." Bellatrix spoke as Celeste could only beam.
"Enough, we need to get started." Antonin spoke. The young blonde witch took out her wand and raised it above her head a little. She was cursing the shield as the other two joined. It seemed what took hours only lasted about a good several minutes. Seeing the shield glow white and then a dark orange before shattering before their eyes.
"Tomorrow, we enter Hogwarts and attack." Bellatrix smirked.
"Yes, but Hogwarts is heavily guarded. You won't be able to waltz inside. You'll have to attack from inside." Celeste spoke as they nodded. Hearing a cackle before two cracks. The two Death Deaters had left. Her heart was pounding pretty fast and hard. She had done it. Draco had done it. They both had completed their tasks. Now, they would have to wait. Tomorrow. The first official attack begins that will start it all.
