Sage

I sat in the library, reading a book as the fire lit. Blaise sat on the other side organizing books as we chatted back and forth.

The door opened and Draco walked in. His face was unreadable as I noticed his hands were shaking. He looked petrified. "Draco.." I set my book down standing up "What's happened?" I asked as blaise looked up too.

"Sage.. it's Luke," his voice cracked as his eyes were bury. No no no. He cant be dead? He isn't dead "He's- he's in really critical condition. A death eater attacked him at Hogwarts." He finished as I collapsed on the ground.

I felt my knees form into the carpet as my hand made its way over to my mouth, shaking. My brother. I sat here in this stupid fucking manor today chopping flowers in the garden as my brother is fighting for his life.

I felt hands beside me as blaise pulled me to him. I pushed him away. I have to be alone. "I- I am sorry, I have to go." I mumbled standing up.

I started running out of the room "Sage!" Blaise shouts echoed through the manor. I have to get out of here. I have to get out of here. "Sage! Love! You can't!" He kept shouting as I stopped. My thoughts swarming my head. His shouting was going in one ear and out the other. It was making me insane.

Sage.

Sage.

Sage.

"Stop!" I cried "Stop fucking yelling my name blaise!" I shouted picking up my steps again as I opened the doors. The warm air hit my face as I sat on the grass. It reminded me of the time me and Draco were on the grass.

I screamed and cried as much as I could. I rocked myself back and forward. It's my fault, if I was there, if I went to Hogwarts and didn't let narcissa leave me in this stupid manor he would be okay. I would have my brother. He would be with me. Even though he's mad at me, even though he doesn't like me right now. I would be with him.

Comforting him.

Loving my fucking brother like I should.

I need to see him.

Tears ran down my face as I trudged back inside. Blaise stood right there. He was waiting for me. His eyes were teary. I didn't notice that I hurt him by pushing him away, I didn't even notice. I walked to him wrapping around him "I am sorry I pushed you away, I am sorry I y-"

"Sage, don't say sorry at all please." He whispered as i nodded.

I pulled away as he whipped off my tears but they kept coming "I need to see him. Now." I stated as he quickly nodded.

"Draco!" He shouted as Draco rushed in. "We are leaving, come on." Draco nodded as we aparated out of the manor and in front of at mungos. My heart was beating out of my chest as I ran in. The doors clicked as the shut behind me.

I ran up to the front desk "Luke Davidson, w- what room please." I rushed as she flipped through papers smiling.

"Ah right here room 347." She smiled as I said my thanks running to the elevator. The boys followed behind me as we stood anxiously. I played with my jeans as the numbers chimed every time we reached a new floor.

They opened as I ran out looking each way. I spotted the sign on the wall, 347. Tears flowed down my face as I ran to the window seeing him on vents. Old blood ran down his arm and his face was bruised. He had tubes running down his throat.

I saw mum and dad at the bedside.

Blaise and Draco appeared but my parents spotted us. My father stood up walking furiously out of the room.

"Where have you been!" He shouted in my face.

"Please dad let me see him." I croaked.

"No! You don't have the right to! You are a disgrace! You leave your brother and your family! For what?!" He spat as he stood inches from me.

"Don't talk to her like that." Draco scoffed as my father turned his head smiling at the boys.

"That's no way to treat your daughter." Blaise demanded as my father stepped toward both other them.

"Ah Malfoy and zabini, I know you parents. Well blaise, your mum." Dad scoffed. No way he just said that.

"The hell!" I shouted "You are piece of work james! Fuck you!" I shouted at him as he slapped me across the face. I held my hand up to it as he stood confidently.

"Don't talk to me like that." He demanded.

"I just want to see my brother!" I cried as he laughed.

"Well to bad." He pouted as blaise tapped him on the shoulder. My father turned around as blaise connected his fist with my fathers face sending him to the ground.

"Don't ever show up here again." My mum gritted as she stood in the doorway of the room. Blaise grabbed my hand as we all ran down the hallway and back to the elevator. I cried and cried. Blaise took my head burying it in his chest as he stroked my hair.

"Are you okay?" He asked. I didn't reply "Sage I said are you okay." The elevator door opened as we walked out of the doors.

"No." I shook as he nodded signaling Draco to disaparate us back and he did.

We landed at the manor as blaise picked me up running me inside. Theo stood at the couch as he shoot up in confusion "What happened?" He asked throwing the book down running with blaise to our room.

"One second please." Mumbled blaise as he opened the door setting me gently on the bed. I saw the boys standing there, they looked so worried. Blaise ran around the room as he pulled the covers over me. I stood still, I felt paralyzed. But yet tears still fell out of my eyes.

"Draco talk to Theo, just both of you please leave," blaise said softly turning off the light but the daylight still sunk through the room.

"But-" Draco protested but blaise interrupted him "Leave Draco I am sorry just leave for a little while and then you can see her." Draco and Theo quickly kissed my head as they walked out shutting the door.

Blaise crawled beside me as he pulled me to him. My head layed on him as I shook. "Shhh, come here." He whispered as he pulled me closer. One hand held my hair as he brushed it out of my face and the other rubbed my arm.

"What's going to happen..." I whispered.

"Let's not think about that right now, let's just go to sleep hm?" He asked laying out the pillow gently setting my head down as I faced his chest he hovered over me as I hugged his body.

And I cried myself to sleep with blaise in my arms.
