Souls Forever

Chapter 18- Christmas Insanity

Christmas day was great at the start, they each got amazing presents adn when Hermione saw her present from Draco she tackled him to the ground, happy because she got the jewellery which she wanted and angry because he had spent so much money on her for no reason. However at night something terrible happened. Hogwarts isn't Hogwarts if someting bad doesn't happen. The four were just casually sitting on the sofa, chatting away, Merlin knows where they got all of these topics for new converstaions. But the room suddenly went cold. The icy chills, ran up their spine. Hermione looked around and saw the fire had gone out. She got up and she crouched by the fire and tried to light it but a black gush of wind came and swept her off of her feet. She landed on the floor, on her back. The wind kept spiralling across the room, breaking many vases and picture frames Hermione had created. The other three shielded their eyes to stop and glass or dust from getting in. Draco got out of the couch and ran to Hermione, who was lying on the floor. A raspy voice filled the room , "Join me and we will together ruin all those lives who had ruined ours." Suddenly the wind stopped and in its place stood a hooded figure, his entire face was black but thoses electrical blue eyes stared up at them. It looked like a man. Draco picked up his wand, but the silhouette, lifted up his wand and pointed at Luna before switching to Hermione who lay there, unconcious.
"Crucio." The man said as a wicked laugh escaped his lips. Hermione writhered and screamed, she seemed to have just woken back up from her unconciousness but before she could get up, she was hit with the cruciatus curse. Hermione's pain got worse, the tears were spilling down her eyes. The man lowered his wand. Blaise had now lifted his wand and pointed at the figure. He was ready to fire any spell at him, but he was also afraid, afraid that it might go wrong and he'd turn evil again like he had a year ago. The ebony figure made his way towards them and pointed his wand at Luna, "Sectumsempra!" Luna imediately fell to the floor, and blood started spilling out of her body and her mouth. She had dropped right in front of Blaise, who had luckily caught her before resting her head down onto the carpet. Draco and Blaise, continously sobbed, their girlfriends layed by their side, hurt. The man was about to leave beofre plastering a wicked grin on his face and shot another cruciatus cure at Hermione. She was in pain for five whole minutes. Draco was about to cast a spell but the man threatened him,
"Put your wand down or I might have to recast the crucio curse on her." Draco fell to his knees crying. "Please please stop it, Why don't you hit me with it instead, please just stop it." The man of course didn't oblige and continued. For the next to minutes Draco was just helpless. He watched Hermione scream in pain beofre her body fell unconcious once more. Te cruciatus curse had done so much damage on her that her body had stopped fighting.
"Well I think that's enough damage for today." The man put his wand back into his robe and disappeared.

Draco saw Luna on the ground and Blaise crying next to her.
"B-blaise I-if I d-die , j-just know th-that I-I L-love you." Luna managed to choke out, whle blood escaped her mouth, " she turned to draco , "Draco t-tell m-mum a-and d-dad that i-i'm grateful th-that they kept me s-safe and th-thank th-them fr-from me."
Draco ran to her, " Luna please please don't die, you're the sister I have always wanted. Draco looked at her body and saw all of these cuts on her body.
"B-blaise wh-what spell did the guy use?" Draco asked.
"Sect- something."
"Sectumsempra." Draco asked, although it came out more like a whisper.
He remembered back in the 6th year where Harry had hit him with that spell and snape had came and cured him. He was trying to think what the spell was, he had to think of it -fast.
"Vulnera Sanentur." he whispered. All the blood that had spread around Luna, entered back in her. The colour thta had drained her face had started coming back but the cuts were still open, even if no blood was oozing out.
Draco told Blaise to immediately take Luna to the hospital wing , while he carried an unconscious Hermione. He walked as fast as he could, he could feel Hermione's pulse decreasing. 

"MADAM POMFREY." the two boys shouted. They laid down the girls on the beds. Madam Pomfrey came running outside and was completely shocked when she saw the two girls, on the bed unconcious. She rushed to Luna's side first and took out a first aid kit. She stood up from beside Luna and went over to Hermione.
Malfoy was staring at her as she got to work. A few minutes later she had finished, she walked up to Draco and Blaise.
"The wounds are deep, um how did she get them."
Draco and Blaise told her everything from beginning to end. Madam Pomfrey listened intently, at times gasping or putting a hand over her mouth. 
"Well Mr Malfoy, you have just saved her life, and we need to tell Professor McGonogall, besides I need her permission to call her Mr Lovegood as she is so hurt. "
"Um actually Madam Pomfrey, Luna told me this morning that she is my sister." 
"Oh oh of course then, perhaps we need to call Mr and Mrs Malfoy instead." Blaise walked over to Luna and sat down on the bed by her side, he held her hand and tears were coming down his eyes. Draco had never seen Blaise like this.
"Uh Madam Pomfrey, what has happened with Hermione?" Draco asked. 
"U-uh dear, you see, she has been hit by the cruciatus curse twice and so, she -she's in a c-coma." Madam Pomfrey whispered. Draco stumbled back but Madam Pomfrey caught him before he collapsed. Draco was also beginning to feel teras pricking his eyes. 
"We have to move her to St Mungos." Madam Pomfrey said before she left to go to McGonogall.

Draco went to Hermione's side and held her hand so tightly. He was there for about five minutes, but not being able to her smile yet, pained her and he decided to go up to the owlery and write a letter to Harry and the others about what has happened so far. By the time he was finished there were sploges of ink on the parchment where his tears had landed. He went back to Hermione and layed next to her and rested his eyes. No matter how much it pained him, he had to stay with her. Whatever happened, they would face it together.
