Keeping a Promise

Chapter 28

As we made our way to the hospital wing, I couldn't help but think about how Draco had already switched sides. The battle hadn't even begun yet. I did realize that Voldemort was outside of the castle at that moment, but he had always switched during the battle, to protect me. 

"Blaise!" Kamrynn yelled as we ran into the wing. "My poor baby!" 

Blaise opened his eyes and had a confused look on his face. "Kamrynn?" 

She kissed him on the cheek. "I have missed you so much." 

"Kamrynn," his face went to confusion to anger. "Kamrynn Grace Diggory, I thought we discussed you not doing anything stupid until everything was settled!" 

She tilted her head. "You talked, I listened, but I still did what I wanted to do," she giggled. "I took your consideration to heart, but I couldn't leave my bestie out or not do anything to get you out of this mess your parents put you into." 

"Listen," I said, pulling out my wand. "You can yell at her later. You-Know-Who is right outside the castle, so we need to move quickly and get you to the room of requirement before he manages to get his way in here." 

"How are we going to get him there?" Kam asked me. 

"Like this," I said, and waved my wand towards his hospital bed. "Locomotor." 

His bed rose into the air. "Fuck," Blaise said. "You don't need to move me. I got myself into this mess, and I'll get myself out of it." 

"Can you walk? Draco said you had to regrow some bones. You also can't fight if you're injured like this," I spat at him.

Kam put her hands on her hips. "Well, can you?" she rounded on Blaise as well. 

"Well, in a manner of speaking, no," he said with a painful look on his face. 

"Then shut up," Kam said as she pulled out her wand. "I'll cover us just in case."

I nodded. "Let's go." 

It was tough getting the bed around the corner when coming out of the wing, but it was doable. I then grimaced at the fact that I had to get this bed up six more flight of stairs since the room of requirement was on the seventh floor. I had not thought this through, and I was about to voice that when a light came through and knocked Blaise's bed onto the floor with a slam. We looked up to see a figure with a dark cloak on with the hood up so we couldn't see their face 

"What the fuck!" Kam said as she waved her wand. "Expelliarmus!" 

She then jumped up and caught the wand that flew in the air. As she cam back down, she elbowed the person in the face that had moved closer to her. Kam looked like she was surprised at what had just happened, but then she started laughing. 

"Oh fuck," she said. 

I ran up to Kamrynn with my wand brandished to give her some backup. The deatheater in the cloak had taken a few steps back after being hit. Astoria had came from behind the deatheater as they were distracted. She pulled back the hood and put a wand to their throat. 

My breath caught in my throat. "Helena?" 

"Your sister?" Kam gasped. "This bitch better prepare for the beat down she is about to get." 

"No," I put my arm out and stopped her. "Why are you here? Is this your new station or something?" I asked my sister. 

She shook her head. "No, it's not," she replied. "Astoria Greengrass, I didn't know you were a guard dog now. How much of a downgrade is that?"

Astoria pushed the tip of her wand into the throat. "Perhaps you should learn how to control your mouth, Helena Burke."

"So, what are you doing here? Shouldn't someone of your rank be outside with your Dark Lord?" I asked.
