"AT LEAST HE DID'NT DIE"

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■


The following day, Alice released from the hospital wing, and time flew from then.

Hermione was itching to Alice what had really happened as Draco told them nothing.

Alice didn't speak much.
She kept to herself, anxiously waiting for another letter.
She hasn't bothered to send one herself because she heard Harry saying that Umbridge is checking everyone's post.
And Alice didn't know where Henry was, so Umbridge may have something to do with it, nobody knows except Henry.

She just sat at the window and stared at the stars.
She still hadn't slept.
But she did eat some potatoes.

Classes were going to start over the next couple of days, and neither Alice or Draco heard anything from Lucius.

Draco did say that he was away on a business trip for a while, but he didn't know how long.

~*~

At breakfast the next morning, Alice recieved a red envelope.
But it wasn't from Lucius.
It was from David.

She ran out of the Great Hall just before it exploded.

I know where you are.
Your a bloody witch, even better.

Alice was shaken to the core.
There was no denying that he defiantly knew where she was.

"Draco, a moment?" she asked, dashing over to the Sytherin table.
Without hesitation, he followed her to a deserted corridor.
He noticed the red envelope.

"That's not from father?" he asked worridly and let out a sigh of relief when she shook her head.

"Its from David, he knows where I am"

"He can't get you from in here. As long as Dumbledore is here, no one gets hurt" he assured.

"I've heard what's happened to Harry over the last five years so I don't believe you for a second" she smiled.

"At least he didnt die"

"I thought you wanted him dead!" she accused playfully.

"I just don't like home very much that's all!" he said half guilty.

Alice smiled, but it didn't last long.

"What am I supposed to do?" she asked sadly. "He'll find a way to get me, I know it"

She was getting worked about the whole situation.

"You need to tell someone!" he said.

"If he finds out and he has my brother, then I will never see him again" She said, trying to prove her point, but it's quite hard to do so when your as small as Alice.

"But what if he doesn't?"

"And what if he does?"

"Your never going to tell someone are you?"

"Nope, so deal with it!" she laughed.

Draco smiled.

"Will you help me?" she asked, the smile fading quickly.

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Your your the best person I've ever met!" she exclaimed, hugging him.

"Ever met?"

She thought for a moment.

"After my brother"

They laughed, but Alice couldn't enjoy her joke.

David knew where she was, and she felt like someone was watching her.

And she was right.
