I tripped up on the top step and stumbled, almost falling but thankfully catching my balance.

Darting to the door I reached out for the handle but something forcefully snapped my wrist back.
A loud cracking sound accompanied with a huge gust of wind hit my senses immediately after.

I jumped back in fright and only a few seconds later did I realised the force belonged to an apparition. Quickly coming back to my surroundings I acknowledged that the apparition indeed belonged to Draco, and somehow he had managed to apparate Inside Hogwarts.

I shook my head in bewilderment.
"What? How did you-" I began.

He took a step towards me, immediately cutting me off.

He tutted. "Foolish of me to have trusted you." Edging closer he reached out to grab my arm. "What have you done now huh?"

I took a step back still in a puzzled state, questioning how and why he suddenly appeared before my eyes.

"Fine, you won't tell me?" He said pushing past me. "NOTT?" He grumbled, looking at me. "Where's fucking Theo?"

I looked at him in awe wondering why Theo was involved in this when he swiftly began to descend the stairs, I followed him shortly behind.

Theo re emerged looking slightly alarmed at the sudden commotion, settling down when he noticed it was Malfoy.

Draco walked over to him.
"What is it? What has she done, why did you call me?"

I froze.
Theo was clearly more aware than I thought and had double crossed me.
I was suddenly enraged.
He had ruined it, he ruined it all.

My heart doubled in speed and without a thought I felt my legs moving. Actually moving rather fast, more so running. Running towards Theo, with rage.

I flung myself at him with little thought and awkwardly lunged at him, pushing him in the chest with force. He swayed back with little reaction and kept his hands softly by his sides.

"You! You fucking ruined it! Why did you do that?!" I spluttered, my voice cracking as I welled up.
"You ruined everything! You're supposed to be my friend!"

Draco grabbed me from behind, forcibly pulling me away. I dragged my legs against the floor and attempted to break free from his arms, starting to sob.

"You ruined everything." I choked, realising I hadn't taken a breath. "You-you ruined every... thing."

Theo watched me vacantly then went straight back to Draco with a certain type of look.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Draco questioned with a warning tone, turning straight back to Theo.

"Nott?" He released his grip slightly as i was calming down and managing to breath again."You sent for me because?"

Suddenly the realisation hit.
He didn't know, neither or them actually knew what my plans were. I stood ridged, rapidly thinking of an explanation, a distraction, something.

Theo sighed. "She hasn't- I mean." His eyes stayed fixed. "She hasn't done anything I know of, but she's acting odd."

Draco let me go and stepped beside me. "You called me because she was acting odd?" He put his head in his hand, rubbing his temples. "You risked summoning me because she's acting fucking odd? She always acts odd you fuc-"

"No no, listen." Theo interrupts. "She said she needed me to call maintenance up to the room, that the waters broke."

Draco looks at me. "The what now?"
