The next morning, I practically jumped out of my bed thanks to Leila. She woke me up because there was a commotion going on first thing in the morning, so she wanted to check it out with me. With no complaints, I brushed my teeth and changed into my school uniform. and headed to the Great Hall to check out what was going on.
"You look like you haven't slept in years, Y/N," Leila said noticing my tired facial expression, "Did you sleep late again?"
"I guess you could say that," I said then smiled when I caught Draco looking at me from afar, "Something was bugging me last night."
"Eh, happens," Leila answered shrugging, "I heard that one of the Weasley brothers got poisoned last night, Snape woke all of us up for that. Honestly, couldn't care less, but I don't think it's just a coincidence."
"You mean Katie being possessed has something to do with that guy being poisoned? Leila, those are two different things," I said then looked back to check up on Draco but he was gone already.
"But you don't know with what he got poisoned," Leila pointed her finger at me, "Snape said that it was poison enough to kill."
"But why would anyone want to kill Weasley? Isn't he just a random guy?" I quirked my eyebrow at what she just said.
"That's the thing, L/N, he is not just a guy, he is friends with Harry Potter," Leila said smirking bout what discovery she just made, "I need you to ask Potter what all of that was about."
"I could do that, but why?" I asked crossing my arms.
"Something bad is about to happen to this school, and I want to know who is behind all of this," Leila answered genuinely, "Someone in Hogwarts is up to no good, and it might be catastrophic."
After hearing what Leila had to say, I felt shivers go down my spine. I didn't tell her anything. She was right, someone had to do something to prevent any more future accidents. First Katie, now Weasley; Merlin knows who is going to be next.
With that thought in mind, we went to the Great Hall to have breakfast before starting the school day. But before that, I had to talk to Harry. We arrived at the Great Hall and went straight to the Ravenclaw table to see if Luna had any information about what was going on. She also was friends with Harry, so she might have known something about the incident. When Leila was asking questions, I saw Harry come into the hall and sit in front of Hermione and Ron. I quickly went up to them and waved a hello.
"Harry, can I have a word with you?" I asked fiddling with my fingers nervous about the question I was about to ask him.
"Sure," he said, closed the odd book he was reading, and stood up to face me, "Is there something you need?"
"First of all, sorry about your friend," I said looking at Ron, "Must have been terrifying."
"No, it's alright, what's important is that he is well and alive now," Harry answered then quirked an eyebrow, "is there something wrong?"
"Actually, I wanted to ask you what happened when he got poisoned. Could you tell me the whole story?" I asked in hope that he would answer my question. After all, this was serious and not everyone should know about it.
"Well, you have to promise me not to tell anyone this," Harry began to which I nodded, "Well, Ron and I went to Slughorn because Ron took a love potion. After he got well, we decided to have a drink, which was poisoned. Ron drank it first. In the morning, when all of the teachers came along, it turned out that Slughorn was gifted that drink with poison, but he couldn't remember who. Apparently, he wanted to give that drink to someone else, that someone else being Dumbledore."
This was a big shock to me. Someone wanting Dumbledore dead? That was unheard of, although, the same happened with Katie too; she wanted to give that possessed necklace to Dumbledore to kill him.
"Do you think all of this has to do with Katie?" I asked then noticed Katie pass by us, "Speaking of her, there she is."
"Sorry, I have to go," Harry said and immediately turned around and rushed after her. I was left alone with Hermione and Ron who were as surprised as I was. Knowing that the conversation was over, I decided to go back to Leila and Luna. As I turned to go to where they were sitting, I saw Draco enter the hall looking pale; as if he had seen a ghost. He wasn't looking at me, he was looking in the direction of Harry and Katie, he seemed terrified. Suddenly, Draco turned around and ran toward the door he came from followed by Harry chasing him down. This wasn't going to be good. What if something happened? What if Draco's about to hurt Harry or vice versa? Do I run after them or do I stay? As I was thinking I unintentionally took my wand out and stood there like an idiot. I couldn't decide on whether I should leave their matter to them or not.
"Merlin's beard, what are they up to..." I whispered to myself and ran after them.
I managed to catch up enough to see where Harry was headed, but still, he was too far away so I had to pick up my pace. He turned left and upstairs. I got to the end of the stairs and saw him go into the boy's bathroom. I couldn't even yell out for him to stop and explain what was happening. He entered and I was left there alone.
I decided not to enter the bathroom, instead, listen in on the conversation and unless I heard screams or signs of explosions, I would bust that door down. A few seconds after which felt like hours, I heard a loud thud hit the door. I backed down but heard continuous sounds of glass shattering. I had to interfere, or they would get serious injuries if no one stopped them.
I busted down the door of the bathroom and heard nothing but the water coming down the drain and very heavy breathing.
"PUT YOUR WANDS DOWN!" I yelled across the bathroom.
In response, I heard Draco's yell, "Y/N? GET OUT OF HERE!"
His response was followed by yet another thud and a crash. That's it. I ran towards where I heard the sound and as soon as I turned around the corner, I saw Harry. He looked at me terrified and pointed his wand at me.
"Don't come any closer, L/N," Harry threatened, "Stupefy!"
I managed to dodge his attack by opening one of the toilet cabin doors.
"Expelliarumus!" I yelled out and threw him away to the wall.
"Bombarda!" Harry yelled back and blew up the floor underneath me which threw me all the way to the other end of the room. I saw him run into another corner where Draco seemed to be hiding. My back was killing me, but I got up and ran after him.
"Stop the fighting!" I yelled out as I heard another thud from around the corner, "Bombarda Maxima!"
All the cabins blew up. After the huge explosion, I hurried to see where they were but they were gone. I hurriedly went back to where I entered and saw Harry yell out, "Sectumsempra!"
Draco fell to the floor and started bleeding heavily from everywhere.
"Fix this Potter, he is losing blood!" I screamed at Harry running toward Draco and kneeling next to him. He couldn't speak and was completely drenched in blood t this point, with cuts underneath his shirt, "ARE YOU DEAF?"
As I took out my wand to point it at him, I heard the bathroom door open with force, and in came Snape. The professor pointed toward the direction of the door implying on calling someone else here.
Thankfully, as I opened the bathroom door, I saw McGonagall running to where the explosions came from. I quickly explained to her what had happened. Both of us entered back to see what was going on. As I laid my eyes on Draco, I heard Snape mumble a healing spell which could only mean that Draco would be alright. As for Harry; he looked shocked at what he had done and didn't even say a word when McGonagall entered.
"What the hell did you do to him, Potter?" I asked with rage in my voice.
"Mister Potter, go to my classroom, we will speak about this later," McGonagall instructed the confused boy and faced me.
"As for you, Miss L/N, what were you doing here?" she asked with concern written all over her face.
"From what I can understand, Miss L/N interfered in the fight and tried to stop these two," Snape spoke up for me then continued, "Even though it did cost the whole bathroom to blow up, I say it was remarkable of her to stop a fight she knew she couldn't handle."
"That really is true, Professor Snape," McGonagall replied with worry then looked at me, "I'll have to grant Slytherin 60 points, but you will be serving 3 days' worth of detention for using a destructive spell."
"Thank you, but is Draco fine?" I asked my voice filled with worry.
"I am sure he is going to be fine, Miss L/N, now off you go to your next class, we will handle the rest," McGonagall reassured me.
I nodded at both of the professors, took one last look at Draco to make sure he was okay then rushed out of there to Charms class.
This school year was going to be the end of me.
