I Knew You Were Trouble (Draco Malfoy)

Chapter 42

Snape took a step foward. "It has come to my attention that Harry Potter was sighted in Hogsmeade," he paused slowly. "We have employed defensive strategies to ensure that Harry Potter shall not step foot in Hogwarts." He looked directly at us. "If anyone has any knowlege of his wear abouts, please step foward... " he walked down the aisle. "Now!"

Everyone remained silent but you could distinctly hear a pair of footsteps moving forward and I smiled. Harry Potter is about to make his grand appearance. 

"It would seem...that you have a security problem," Harry stepped forward as everyone gasped. "And I'm afraid it is rather extensive, headmaster."

Just then the Order of the Pheonix strutted into the room and I squealed in delight. My second family was here along with Remus and Tonks. I had only met them once, seeing as Tonks was pregnant with baby Theodore. But now she's back looking better than ever. God! I love her hair. 

"How dare you stand where he stood? Tell them! Tell them how you looked him in the eye. A man who trusted you...and you killed him. Tell them!" Harry shouted and I felt really bad. Snape isn't the bad guy. If only Harry knew!

Snape looked at me for a brief moment before nervously pulling out his wand, aiming it at Harry. I gasped. No! But fortunately, McGonagall stepped in front of Harry and began to battle Snape. McGonagall is a great duels men, as she easily conquered Snape, along with the Carrows, and forced him to retreat out of the widow. I held my chest in fear but then I remembered that death eaters can do this weird flying thing, so he'll be alright. 

Cheers erupted within the great hall as everyone began to celebrate. But it was short live because out of no where, a voice began to invade our minds and the pressure was too great for me to handle. My mind and body were somehow weaker and I blamed this crused war. The stress I was feeling was too much to endure and I passed out on the floor. I felt two strong arms catch me and I look up to see that it was a very worried Fred. I tried to speak but couldn't, instead I let the darkness envelope me. I finally felt at ease. Maybe death is a good thing. It's calm, peacful and inviting.

Life is way harder.

"Alice my dear, wake up," A voice spoke tenderly, no doubt a mother.

"Mum?" I asked hopeful but all I heard was a sigh.

"She's delusional," spoke another voice, who I recognized as Fred.

"Shut up Fred! I am not delusional," I snapped as I opened my eyes and looked around me. The great hall was empty and many loud screams were heard outside of the great hall. 

"Ahh! Same old Alice," he grinned and hugged me. "Glad to see you're okay."

George appeared next to him and they crushed me into a vicious group hug, "Me too my lovely Alice."

"Boys! Let the girl breathe!" Molly pushed them off of me and helped me up. I smiled at her feeling eternally grateful.

"What happened?" I asked.

Molly looked over at Fred before a scream was heard. It sounded like Ginny. Molly's head snapped towards the door before looking over at me. "The boys will explain," she said hurriedly before running out of the great hall in search of her daughter. I smiled. She's an amazing mother.

I turned back to Fred and George as they began to lead me into the corridor, where a full on death eater, werewolf, and dementors against students and teachers  fight was in progress.

"Are those trolls?" I screamed in fright as a dementor swooped past me. "How did he get trolls?"

Fred shrugged and put on a very concentrated as he aimed at a death eater, who was hovering over a hufflepuff. My wand was out in second and we began talking as we battled. My head was still a bit light headed and I cursed my current state. Why am I so weak? I probably just need a nap.
