Ophelia || Harry Potter

140

A feeling of upcoming disaster made its way into the pit of my stomach. I felt something soon was about to change, more likely bad. A tension was building up in the atmosphere which crumpled against my head

Luna was on hers beside me, going through the latest Quibbler. Meanwhile I laid on my bed, stomach down. My head rested in my palm as I drew in my sketchbook

Suddenly, I gasped, as I was completely voided from what I was drawing. The only thing I saw was a clouded swirl through my vision as I watched a scene make its way onto the canvas

"Ophelia" A very distant voice rung out as my hand moved faster. Darker colours coating the page as it became clearer

Moments later I was fully awakened. My eyes blinked as I focused on the piece before me. There was a lot of dark tones used, the section sticking out was the green dark mark. What caught me off guard was that you could see the top of recognisable spires

"Luna" I say, sitting up "This is Hogwarts"

"Why would Hogwarts have the dark mark over it?" She questioned with my eyes widening

Draco fixed the cabinet...they're here

I startled Luna as I crawled off my bed before hurrying to our door and flinging it open. She followed after me as I went bundling down the stairs and into the common room. Heads snapped to me as I ran through the room

"Are you okay?" Several voices asked at once as I neared the portrait

"Stay here" I panted as I began opening the door "Bad things are happening tonight and your safer here"

"WHAT?!" I hear people protest however I was already out the common room. My legs carried me as I sprinted through the corridor. It was quiet but I could hear the faint sound of spells being casted. As stupid as it was, I ran in the direction of the sound

"Oh no" I gasp as I halt in my place, backing me back down the corridor was Greyback. A threatening smile of his face as he licked his lips

"Don't you look...ravishing" He commented

I let out a yelp as my back came in contact with the stone cold wall. I prayed, sending dramatic quick goodbyes as the werewolf stepped forward

"Now what should I do with you?!" He chuckles "You have an option; die or join the pack"

"Is being free and alive an option?" I ask but then scream as he sinks his claws into my shoulder, pinning me tightly against the wall

"Nice try" He growls, his face coming uncomfortably closer, his claw piercing my skin making me cry out. Tears streamed down my face as I attempted I remain in eye contact with the creature "Now try again"

"I-I"

"GET AWAY FROM MY NIECE" A voice roared. Greyback smirked, turning his head. Menacingly, he taunted the people by running one of his nails from my shoulder and making his way slowly down my arm. Meanwhile I scream from the burning feeling radiating in my skin

Thankfully seconds later he goes flying away. Smashing into the wall down the hall. A hand grabbed mine as I turned my head to see Sirius and Remus standing there

"Come on" He says, pulling me as the three of us run down the empty corridor. The sound of duels now echoed louder through the hall. We joined the battle, fighting off the death eaters which had in invaded the schools. As we fought, I saw Snape and a few other death eaters run through. One of them including Draco, he looks to me, staring me in the eye

"Be safe" He quickly passed the message in my mind before running after them. I continue fighting a death eater, having to constantly block their attempts at using the unforgivable curses

Moments later my eyes glance to Harry who comes running past. He fired a spell at my opponent, knocking them out

"Where did they go?!" He angrily questioned, his eyes narrowing at me. I internally sighed before nodding in the direction of where they went. He disappears seconds later with all of us then taking down our opponents

Sirius comes to me, worry sketched across his usually cocky face. His eyes remain on the sustained injury from Greyback

"Are you alright?" He questioned, hugging my good side. His chin sits in my head after he had kissed my forehead

"Just hurts" I admit, looking up to him with tear glazed eyes "A lot"

"We need to get you to Madam Pomfrey" He instructed, leading me on the direction of the hospital wing. However I stop, confusing him as he turns to me

"There's a reason they're here" I say, this made everyone in proximity turn to me in confusion "Don't ask how I know...but they came to kill Dumbledore"

Theirs eyes all widen, as they go to ask more questions I turn on my heel heading out to the courtyard. I listen as their footsteps follow after me as I head outside

My body freezes when I see their mission completed, lying on the floor was the headmaster who had once kept the school partially safe. Many presences stop behind me as they see the scene

"No" Their voices gasp, more people join us as we crowded around the dead body. We stood there for who knows how long, just staring at him. It was when Harry kneeled by the headmaster that everything truly became more real

Eventually Sirius took my arm again, now silently insisting we go to the Hospital Wing. I follow after him as we make our way up the staircase before pushing the doors open

"What happened to you?" Madam Pomfrey questioned as she came hurrying over, leading me to an empty bed

"Greyback"
