When I opened up my eyes, the first thing I felt was pain. I managed to sit up and I looked around me. My whole family,  extended included was surrounding me. I looked at the bed next to me and Teddy was in the bed. His head was lolled back, his face pale. He had cuts and bruises all over him.
After  Teddy woke up everything was explained to us. We had been unconscious for around a week and there was a possibility that Emma and Damian may never wake up.
After we had been nearly killed by this shadow Neville.... er Professor Longbottom had seen the Mauraders Map lying on the floor (apparently we had dropped it) and he saw where we were. He ran down there to make sure we were okay and he saw the whole death shrine. He had called for help and the aurors had arrived buy there was no sign of the shadow. It didn't show up on the Mauraders Map.
Professor Longbottom stepped forward. "I have some suspicions of who it may be," A tear trickled down his face before he wiped it away and continued. "As you know,  my parents were tortured into insanity by a group of death eaters. Their leader was Bellatrix Lestrange. Your grandmother had killed her but there is a possibility that she may have found away to resurrect herself. The people she hates the most is your grandmother,  Teddy and his grandmother,  your Uncle Harry, me..." He trailed off.
" The point is that if she killed people they love off it would make them weak and bring them pain. If she killed your best friends you would be really sad and then Teddy would be sad hence Harry and his grandmother being sad eventually making everyone sad. If they successfully killed you then.. you get the picture."
I just sat still and stared. This was so hard to believe. Teddy had passed out again. My siblings and my parents came up and whispered that they loved me until I fell into a deep sleep.
          

                    DAMIAN'S POV
I had strange dreams filed with strange voices and fire. There was so much pain, a burning pain. I just wanted to die but I had to stay for Emma. But I would wait to see if she made it before deciding if I stay.

                3 tragic days later
I woke up after another 3 days of being unconscious. Teddy was fully awake, and beside sporting a few scars he looked fine. He sneakily climbed out of his bed and came to me. " I've missed you so much Vic,". He leaned down and kissed me.
We kissed for a while until we were interrupted by my whole family and many family friends opening up the curtain to see how we were doing. We quickly broke apart.
In the back I saw James and Louis sniggering, my mom was grinning and my uncles were looking very proud. I snuck a glance at my dad who was glaring. " Victoire Annabelle Weasley how dare you. In front of the children before you've even made a full recovery. " He continued on ranting before Madam Pomfrey stomped out of her room and kicked everyone out.
I looked around me. I hadn't even realized Teddy and I had been moved out of St Mungo's and into the Hogwarts Infirmary.

I grinned at Teddy for a moment before realizing Emma and Damian weren't here, which meant they would probably die.
Before I can stop them, tears started running down my face and I started sobbing uncontrollably. Teddy reached over and hugged me until we both passed out.

A few days later everything went back to normal except for the fact Emma and Damian were dying. Damian was about to recover but something happened and Emma was just an inch away from death and then suddenly Damian was too.

Two days later a miracle had occurred,  both had recovered completely not remembering anything and without a scar. Teddy and I had matching heart shaped scars on out shoulders but that was it and we kind of liked it.
A few weeks had passed and they were so happy with O.W.L studying and Quidditch practice and just being well that we soon forgot what happened.
One night Teddy his best friends Jake and Aaron and me and my best friends were gathered around the common room fire happily when an owl flew in and dropped a note on everyone's laps,  even Jake and Aaron's.
The note read "One of you will die, the other will dissappear into the darkness of the night. The beauty will discover her beasts and the little princess just might find out the true meaning of betrayal. Just because you  escaped me once doesn't mean you'll escape me again. One last clue, I'll give you a hint to where I'm hiding for now,  the clue is a LOO. (BRITISH WORD FOR BATHROOM, NOT SURE IF I SPELLED IT CORRECTLY)
