All Our Broken Pieces

Chapter 28

Nora's pov

A cool glow shine into the room, the green hue I knew so well. My eyes weakly flickered open to Draco's room.

From my left there was a sudden movement. A scrape of a chair, frantic footsteps towards me, heavy breaths. I looked towards the noise and my eyes fell upon Lorenzo.

The insides of his eyebrows upturned, a sorry look on his familiar face. I could barely look at him, always saving me. Nobody deserves a friend that good.

Neither of us said anything as an awkward silence filled the room. There was a soft snore from
beside me and feebly, I shifted myself to look at Draco.

Sound asleep.

So soft and innocent.

It was a shame he was a twat.

I scrunched my face into a grimace when a sharp pain hit me in the stomach.

A large hand came to rest right on top with soft, soothing words.

"I need to find Snape." I whispered.

There was a long pause as enzo took in what I had said. Tension filled the air and his borws furrowed nervously.

"But Nor's, you hate Snape. Like proper hate him. Like some might mistake you for a Gryffindor."

My face scrunched at the thought of people asuming I should be wearing ruby instead of emerald.

I looked good in green anyway.

"Please don' ask any questions Enzo, just let me go and find him."

His chair scraped, awaking Draco from beside me, "Oh shit Nora, you're awake."

Malfoy yawned before pointing at Enzo.

"What's got his knickers in a twist?" he rubbed his eyes, unnaware of the glare he was recieving.

"No." Said Enzo, finally.

An icy pair of eyes darted between us, obviously picking up on the tension.

"Okay," I scoffed, "we both know that won't stop me so you may as well let me go now."

The umber haired boy shook his head.

"Lorenzo do you actually think I want speak to the greasy man by choice?" I laughed.

I thought he knew me better than this, fucking idiot.

"I have to, and you're only putting me and everyone else in more danger by keeping me here, okay?"

He dropped his head in defeat, shoulders slumped. He took a deep breath before running his hanads through his hair. Draco cleared his throat in an effort to gain some attention.

"Does somebody want to tell me what's going or am I going to have to take a guess?"

I looked down at my hands, preparing the speech I was going to have to give Snape, unfortunately to his satisfaction .

"Just tell me who did it and I'll let you go." he could barely look at me.

"You wouldn't be 'letting' me go Enzo as I'm not asking you for permittion, just telling you what I need to do. I'll be going regardless of your views upon it."

I turned myself around, my legs swinging off the side of the bed. Fully aware of the two sets of eyes that were staring me down.

"Guessing it is then" Draco muttered to himself.

"Nora who did it." there was a tone of authority in his voice. Like he knew I was going to tell him, but he wanted it now.

I pulled down the neck of my shirt, revealing the dark word scarred into my skin, "The same bitch that gave me this."

The floor was freezing.

Who the fuck took off my socks man.

I tip-toed down the corridors, the temptation to stop at my room for my slippers was overwhelming, but I had somewhere to go and someone to see.

I soon arrived at the large, dark doors that let into Snapes office. I had expected to feel nervous but the excutement of what I might learn was exhilerating.

The door opened almost immediately after my two short taps.

"What do you want at this ungodly hour Miss Goldhunt?" In one corner I could just about make out a dark, slouching figure.

How does he manage to look greasy in the pitch black?

"If you put some lights on you'd be able to see that I had a visitor tonight, I'm sure you'll know who soon enough."

Vergigris coloured flames rose all around the room and 5he dark figure effortlesly glided towards me.

"If I am not mistaken, this looks like the works of Miss Lestrange. I am correct, no?"

"You tell me, I was unnaware a being that evil was deserving of a name." Snape kissed his teeth before turning on his heel and sulking back to his corner.

"So she hurt you a bit, my original question remains unanswered Miss Goldhunt."

'hurt me a bit' the twat nearly fucking killed me I'll have you know, insufferable dick.

"I'm here because I wish to learn." My feet took me a step closer. "I was told tonight that I have something The Dark Lord wants. What I want at this 'ungodly hour' Professor, is to learn how to use it."

"Why? So you can use it against him like every stupid child in this place?"

I laughed, he must be silly to think I was on Dumbledore's side.

"No, so Miss Lestrange will leave me alone, and maybe I want to learn so I can join The Dark Lord."

"Don't joke about stuff like that girl. You, child, don't know what you're getting yourself into."

"Then please enlighten me Severus, because I'm sick off feeling powerless. You have already seen what I may be capable of, surely you wouldn't want that to go to waste on Dumbledore's Army?"

The silence was defening.

"No," he mumbled, "I wouldn't."

"So teach me." I was practically begging now.

"What you possess child, is dark energy manipulation. This is not something a person takes lightly, nor is it something you discover so young in a witch or wizard. It is one of the most powerful manipulation powers to hold, some may call you lucky to have it, others may tell you that you are cursed. Make of it what you will."

I waited for him to continue.

"By possessing this, you have the ability to manipulate dark energy, dark matter if you will. Once you have coontrolled it, you will have mastered the ability to focus, direct and use it at your will, in any shape or form you wish."

"How do I have it though, and others don't?"

"Because you were somehow born with an inner connection rooted deep within you that makes you one with the universe, it is usually passed down from generations and can miss any child born but carry on in the grandchild, depending on their capability. You, girl, are a very, very danerous witch."

A/N okay baes i'm putting the thoughts on Nora back in because i think it's been missing the comedy side of it since they were gone but I HOPE YOU ENJOY AND I HOPE YOURE HAVING AN AMAZING HOLIDAY <3333
