Warning- Talk of Depression and deep thoughts
“What happened to her!”
“Danny?”
“Is she dead?”
“She looks dead?”
“Fred, George quiet down she's waking up!”
I tried fluttered my eyes open, having a hard time feeling them stuck together, unsure of where I was or why my eyes won't open.
“Let me help dear,” A soft voice said, warm water leaked onto my eyes, I felt whatever was holding them back fall down my face. I opened my eyes, half of the room felt blurry, the other clear.
“Where am I?” I whispered looking around the room, Fred and George Weasley stood at the end of the bed, Molly Weasley beside me holding the cloth in her hand well Hermione and Ginny both looked at me, looking pale.
“I don’t know how you got here Danny but you just appeared in the living room, you looked dead, we all though you were dead, I don’t know how you survived,” Hermione said walking over and grabbing my arm.
“I tried killing him,” I coughed closing my eyes again. “He was at my house, he’s back, Harry was telling the truth,”
“You tried killing Voldemort?” Sirius Black, a man I had only met once but read and heard a lot about around school appeared in the room, looking at me. “How brave, but stupid, you could have gotten yourself killed,”
“If I died I would have been with my Cedric,” I whimpered looking away from Sirius. “I had to do it, and I will do it, with my last dying breath,”
“Children, why don’t you go downstairs and set the table,” Molly chimed sighing. “We will be down in a second,” Hermione gave me a nervous smile then let go of my hand, walking out of the room, like everyone else.
“Daring brave Danny,” Remus Lupin smiled taking Hermione's place. “You gave everyone here a heart attack,”
“So just let me go back,” I demented trying to sit up but I was to weak. “Let me live my life, if I wanna get killed trying to avenge someone let me do it, you can’t keep me here,”
“Actually,” Albus Dumbledore, his voice had caught me off guard. “You can’t leave this room, Danny Malfoy, this is only for your own good,”
My energy pushed against me and I sat up looking at everyone who stood in the room, I looked at the glowing door, blocked with a spell. Not caring how much pain I was in I stood up from the bed, feeling everyone look at me.
“You can’t do this,” I lowly cried out looking at the door, placing my hand at the mimic of a wall. “You can’t!” My legs dropped and I fell to the floor.
“I’ll bring you something to eat dear, we will take care of you,” Molly placed her hand in my hair slightly then walked out, everyone followed her action and I was left alone with a closed door, being held captive.
“Why are you doing this!” I screamed not caring about anything, how loud I was being or how everyone could hear me. “You don’t know who I am,” I banged my fists harding on the door. “Let me go!” I yelled louded.
“Please calm down,” Sirius Black, again talking to me whispered on the other side of the door. “You’ll be okay, in here, we don’t want you to die,”
“We!” I shouted banging my fist again, knowing Sirius jumped to it. “I want to die, what don’t you understand, you guys are just stalling!”
The door swung open, Remus and Sirius both stood looking at me. Remus looked nervous and Sirius had a sincere look on his face.
“You have a death wish, we understand but we’re not gonna let you kill yourself, i’m sure a lot of people would agree with us,” Remus said walking into the room, unsure of what I was gonna do.
“You don’t know Cedric, he died thinking nothing of death, is was peaceful, we imagined a life together and now he’s dead, and i’m not gonna stop unless I get vengeance or I die trying,” I cried out leaning against the wall.
Sirius walked in and closed the door, looking at me.
“You’re bleeding,” Sirius pointing out, looking at my stomach, I lifted my shirt up looking at the stitching that had ripped open. “I can go get someone,” he walked right back out, not staying long.
“I’m here to talk to you, whenever you’d like Danny,” Remus said giving me a small smile then walking out of the room, not staying long, unsure of why the pair at entered the room in the first place.
“Please,” I whispered looking into the hallway. “Let me out of here,” I fell to the ground, leaning against my bed with tears, again, falling down my face, not in anger but in sadness, my heart ached for Cedric Diggory, just wanting to look at him one last time, to hold his hands and to have his arms wrapped around me. “Please,” I whispered again opening my eyes.
“You’ll have him back, one day, but for today you have to stay alive,” Dumbledore said standing in front of me. “You will be returning to Hogwarts this year, with restriction, you’ll be unable to leave the grounds, and watched at all times,”
“What if I don’t wanna go back,” I whispered pausing for a second to gather my thoughts. “Why are you doing this, why don’t you just let me die, i’m a no one with a shitty family life,”
“Your not a no one,” Dumbledore causly said sitting down on my bed, I looked at him with hatressed in my eyes. “I’ve gotten something for you, if you’d like it,” his hand reached into his pocket, pulling out a wand.
“That’s Cedrics,” I jumped up looking at Dumbledore. “Why do you have it?” I asked leaning against the wall.
“His father thought you should have it,” Dumbledore stood up, and put the wand out, offering it to me. I looked at Dumbledore then at the wand, taking it in my hand. “Thank you,” I whispered looking down at Cedric's wand, running my finger down the wood, hitting the jags and rudged carved in. “I’ll see you at Hogwart September First,” Dumbledore walked passed me, I turned around, watching him wave his hand, the spell that kept me in the room washed away with a wave. Dumbledore turned around, giving me a slight nod, “You should come down to get something to eat,” Hermione said walking up the stairs and towards me. “You look hungry,” “Starving actually,” I smiled slipping Cedric's wand into my pocket and walking out of the room. “Thank you, for helping me,”
“You know Danny, we’re friends known, i’ll help you if you help me,” Hermione said walking be down the stairs, I stumbled a bit but managed to make it down.
“Yeah,” I paused looking at the bushy haired girl. “What do you need help with?” I asked raising my eyebrows.
“Nothing yet, but when I will, I just want to know you’ll be there for me, because i’ll be here for you, anything you’ll need,” I said to Hermione, being honest with myself, and as calm as I was all day.
“Your dinner's getting cold girls,” Molly Weasley called out, we turned around and faced her, she had a warm smile on her face.
Hermione and I looked back at each other, smiling and walking towards the kitchen, everyone watched as the two of us walked in sitting beside each other, Harry gave me a small smile well Remus offered his seat beside him, I nodded my head, Hermione sitting beside me.
“Dinner is served,” Molly cheerfully said waving her wand, biscuits and homemade spaghetti appeared on our plates, I smiled looking around at everyone then down at my food, still smiling for the first time in months.
“There is someone here,” I said sharping, turning my head towards the door, unknown how I had known. Severus Snape walked in, looking at me, I looked at him, not saying anything he sat down across from me.
“Danielle,” He said in a monotone voice.
“It’s Danny actually,” I mumbled eating my food. “What are you doing here?” I asked concentrated on him, my smile fading.
“I’m part of the order, against the man you tried to kill,” His voice was flat and his hands were together. “I’ve heard what you’ve done, I don’t think it’s a very smart choice to go against your father, since he’s a very powerful person,”
“You would know all about that Sniffles,” Sirius snapped leaning back in his chair, he downed the rest of his wine and raised his eyes. “You leave this girl alone, she has done nothing wrong,”
“Nothing wrong but killed you all,” Severus said standing up. “All I came by was to talk to Danny, you all are killing yourselves keeping her here, just would like to let you know, the dark lord is out for her, and her father will always look for her,”
Severus walked out of the room, followed by Dumbledore, his wand was in hand, I watched him grip it as he walked out. I looked her Hermione and Sirius, jumping out of my seat and following the duo out of the room.
“What do you mean!” I shouted at Severus who turned around, Dumbledore did the same facing me. “Have you told him where I am?” I asked walking towards him.
“Unforchinitly,” Severus paused taking a breath and sighing. “I have not told him where you are, and I will not be telling him where you are, but if he finds out you are killing everyone in this house,” He turned around walking out of the door.
“I have to leave, until I got back to school, you heard what he said!” I cried out running passed him, feeling the same pain as before, happiness not lasting long anymore in my life when all the light goes away.
