My muffled screams echoed off the walls. As Snape sliced down the center of my body, I screamed and screamed. I was paralyzed from the neck down but I felt everything. Ginny at the top of my head and held the cloth in my mouth. "There are 4 ribs that we need to fix." Poppy said to Snape. He nodded. "I'm going to begin now, Camilla. Just stay strong." he said. I heard the first crack as he broke my ribs. Tears streamed down my cheeks and I could barely breathe. "Episkey," he said. That healed the first rib properly. Then he did it again. And again. And again. He broke and healed every rib until the pressure on my organs was gone. An hour and a half later, he was done. Poppy ran another diagnostic and sighed in relief. "It worked." she said. "Good." Snape said. Then he stitched me up and wrapped my chest in gauze. They lifted the spell and I could move. Ginny pulled the rag from my mouth and I inhaled. "How do you feel?" Ginny asked. "I feel dizzy. Tired." I said. "The pain and the operation took a toll on your body. You need to rest." he said. "But Draco-" I started. The Poppy gave me a sleeping draught. "Draco will be fine. You need to rest." Snape said. I nodded. Then I was out like a light.
DRACO MALFOY
I was drifting in and out of consciousness and I could hear voices. I could hear Amycus and Lecto talking but I couldn't register all the words they said. Then I heard the sound of Nathan's voice. And I saw a big wardrobe following him in. It was a boggart. "Get him up," Nathan said. The Carrows unstrapped me from the chair and tossed me to the floor. I landed on my knees in front of it and it began. The door opened and Camilla's body fell to the floor in front of me. My face paled and my eyes widened. Blood pooled on the floor and I ran to her. "Camilla!" I yelled. I shook her body and she looked at me. "Why?" she whispered. "What?" I asked. "Why did you kill me?" she asked. The next thing I knew there was a knife buried in her gut and I was holding the handle. I killed her. I killed Camilla. I screamed and screamed. I scrambled back and the Carrows grabbed me. They strapped me back down in the chair and I thrashed and screamed. "No! No! Camilla! No! I'm sorry! Please!" I screamed. The boggart was gone and so was she. I killed her. Then I felt the torture again. Then I stopped screaming. I just stopped.
2 DAYS LATER...
When I opened my eyes, I could smell tea and hear the sound of rain. I looked around and Poppy was sitting at a desk writing. "You're awake," she said with a smile. I nodded. "How long was I asleep?" I asked. She looked at the clock. "2 days and 4 hours." she said. My face dropped. "2 days?!" I exclaimed. She nodded. "Do you feel better?" she asked. "Yes, thank you." I said. She stood up and walked over to me. "Your wound healed. It's just a scar now." she said. She unwrapped the gauze and I looked down. There was a long scar that went from my sternum to my belly button. "Would you like to get cleaned up and changed?" she asked. "That would be nice, thank you." I said. She gave me some clothes and I went to the bathroom.

When I got back, I drank some tea. Then I heard it. A voice came from her muggle radio. "Lightning has struck, I repeat Lightning has struck!" it said. Her face lit up. "What does that mean?" I asked. She looked at me and smiled. "It means Harry Potter is back." she said. My heart skipped a beat. "Harry," I said softly. I looked at her. "Where can I find him?" I asked. "Go down the hall. Head towards the Slytherin dungeons but turn left at the portrait of Salazar. Turn right 2 times and there's a big room. Sort of a safe house for Dumbledore's army at the school. If Harry got into the school, he used a passage. It should lead him there," she said. I nodded and jumped up. "Thank you, Poppy. I appreciate everything." I said. Then I ran to the room and went inside. When I got there, I saw a crowd of people. I pushed through the crowd and I saw him. We locked eyes and I smiled. Then I jumped into his arms and he kissed me. "Did Snape help you? Is everything ok?" he asked. I nodded. "I'll tell you about it later. Right now, tell me why you're here." I said. He nodded. Then he explained it to everyone. "Something small, easily concealed. Any ideas?" Harry asked. "Rowena Ravenclaw's Lost Diadem?" Luna said. "Oh Bloody hell, not this again." Ron mumbled. "No, she's right." I said. They looked at me. "I went to my fathers orphanage to learn about him. A lady that knew him said he had a tiara with him once. With a blue gem. Maybe he made it a horcrux." I said. "It's worth a shot," Harry said. Then Ginny ran in. "Snape knows. He knows Harry was spotted. He wants to see us all in the Great Hall. Now." she said. I looked at Harry. "What do we do?" I asked. Then we made a plan.
