They were back at school. Classes went as slow as possible and days were gloomy. Evelina had taken the child with her and stowed him in her room. Once again, Draco's mental health was horrible. Nothing could prepare them for today.

It was lunch in the Great Hall. Ever since Evelina's pregnancy, her appetite was nonexistent. Draco asked, "Hey, Ev. You need to eat. Do you want an apple or some carrots?"

"Can you just grab me an apple from the table upfront?"

He gave her a small nod of recognition then stood up. As Draco stood up to grab the apple, he made eye contact with a familiar girl.

"Oh my god. Blaise. Theo. Pansy. It's-" Evelina was cut off.

"Katie Bell? What's wrong with that", questioned Blaise. "She's the one that got cursed one day. Heard it was for a necklace. By the way, what's up with Draco"."

"Fuck!", she whispered as Draco ran past her. "Keep an eye on everyone else. I have to take care of some stuff." Evelina ran after him and Harry followed behind.

Draco ran to the boys' laboratory and Eve hid behind the door. He threw his vest to the ground and held his head over the sink, trying to hold his emotions in.

She slowly crept away from the wall she hid against. The room was cold and the energy surrounding them was dark. "Draco. Look, ok? I just want to help you. I know thi-" Evelina was forced to stop when he put his wand to her chest. "Draco. Just listen. Please..."

He looked at her, his hands shaking in fear. "I- I can't do this anymore. Finals. Dumbledore. Scorpius. Even Harry on my ass twenty-four seven. I have no idea what else I can do."

Draco fell into her arms and his emotions were all in a jumble. His tears could resemble a waterfall and his eyes were puffy. "It's ok. You're an amazing father, son, student. Everything. Just breathe for a second and think."

His breathing was getting slower and heavier. The shaking was less intense and Evelina kissed him on the forehead. Draco pushed the wand back into his uniform. Once he opened his eyes after them being closed for a minute or so, a figure appeared from the door.

"Evelina, move!" He pushed her to the ground and she landed on her stomach. Pain came rushing like knives. She curled into a ball trying to relieve the pain as Draco cursed out Crucio.

There was Harry on the other side. Both went back and forth casting every spell in the book. Crucio, Expelliarmus, Stupify, Petrificus Totalus, and others. Lights of all colors hit the walls. They ran through stall after stall until one was struck. A body fell with a large thud. "Sectumsempra", was yelled.

Harry stood still while Draco's body covered itself in water and deep cuts. The dark man could be seen through his sheer, white shirt. A single tear ran down her cheek and her breath became faster. "H-H-Harry. How could you?", her voice quivered. "I'm your sister. And this? This is unforgivable."

"Evelina. I never meant to hurt-"

"Hurt who? Me. Draco. Anyone else I hang out with? Get the fuck out my face before you hurt me too."

He stood there silently.

"I said get the FUCK out of my face, Harry!"

Her father came up from behind the two of them then moved his eyes to Draco. Evelina flashed a glimpse to Harry emphasizing that it was him. Snape nodded as Harry ran from the scene.

"H-help him. Please", she reasoned with her father. Uncontrollable tears were about to come out of Evelina's eyes before he took a knee next to Draco. "Thank you, father. I can't thank you-"

"Save your breath, Evelina. I'll take him to the hospital wing but not a word about this to anyone. You know as well as I that Dumbledore will be passing soon. Fix any blemishes you have because this is the last time you could screw up. Check on Scorpius too. I don't need child neglect along with all of this."

...

Draco was brought to the Hospital Wing and Evelina was sitting in her dorm with Scorpius. More pictures of Scorpius and everyday things were plastered on the walls behind her. With all the stress and horrible life events, drawing was her escape.

"Look, baby. There's where your mother used to live. And a muggle lifestyle. But you don't have to go through that. No. Because me and your father will do anything to give you the best. But we can't see your father for a little bit. At least, not you of course. Now if you excuse me, you have to go to bed while I say hi to your father."

She placed the baby into his cradle and cast a silencing charm to keep him quiet. Evelina kissed him one last time before exiting the room.

Her footsteps were quiet and the hall was dark. You could hear Filch wandering through the halls while Eve turned the corner to the Hospital Wing. Draco was lying there helplessly.

"Sweetheart. Oh my gosh, I'm glad you're ok", she gasped in relief. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine. But you need to go take care of Scorpius. I'm sixteen, I can take care of ourselves."

Eve's lip quivered as she took his hand. She placed her head on his chest and whispered, "I'm scared Draco. I can't bear to lose you or anyone else."

He took her chin and said the same things he always said. "Look at me. I will do whatever it takes to protect you and Scorpius."

His words were comforting, making her feel like everything will be ok. But to what extent will he go to save his family?
