Death Eaters Daughter Part Two

Two Hundred Fourty One

"Dont want a little help?" Blaise asked rubbing my leg with his thumb

I kicked him straight into his face, making him step back a few steps
I finished walking down the ladder and pretended to pick lint off my uniform
"Like I said dont touch me" I crossed my arms and glared at him

His emotions were raw anger, I resisted the urge to gag on the bitterness
"You're such a bitch"

I curtsied, mocking him

"You're going to deserve what's coming your way"

"Bring it on" I said pushing passed him

He grabbed my arm and shoved my back into the railing, my head was dangling over the edge
He grabbed my arms and held me there
"You think you're so brave, but you're not strong enough to go against me" he shoved me further
I tried to not panic, but I knew he could see it in my eyes and how tense my body was
I tried using my hands to push him but he clamped down harder
"You're weak"

I spit in his face
"Fuck you"

He shoved me over the edge, I fell hard onto the floor below us
I felt my back seize up from the fall and my head was in excruciating pain
Blaise began walking down the stairs towards me, I couldn't do anything but lay there

Step by step he walked further to me, when he finally was at my side he grabbed my chin to face him
"Now" he said taking his wand out "you're going to forget how you fell and this entire conversation" I tried pulling my face out of his grip but he held on tight "I will kill you. I can't wait to see the look on Draco's face when he finds out you're dead at my hands. If he wasn't so in love with you this wouldn't be as enjoyable. Your death won't come today, but it will soon"
He placed his wand on my head and pulled out a memory
I watch it float into the air and vanish
He destroyed the memory

"Why are you on the ground?" I heard a voice call out
I looked to my left and saw Professor McGonagall running towards me
I wasn't sure how long passed, I couldn't even remember why I was on the floor or how I ended up in so much pain
"Miss.Lupin are you ok?? What happened?!" She touched my head and I winced in pain

"I...I dont know"
Why don't I know what happened to me

"You need to go to the hospital wing, can you walk?"

"My back and head hurt really bad" I said trying to sit up but failing

"Cora?!" I heard Hermione's voice
I could also hear multiple footsteps rushing towards me
"Oh my what happened??"

Ron and Harry moved to be beside me while Hermione kneeled down in front
"I don't know"

"I think she has a concussion" the professor said "I can levate you there but it won't be comfortable with your head injury"

"I can carry her" Ron said
I let him pick me up off the ground and hold me in tightly to his chest
"I've got you"

The four of us raced to the hospital wing, passing by students who were sending tart flavors my way
Tart
Tart
Tart
Metallic
I tried seeing who was sending me sadness but my head wouldn't move in that direction

Madame Pomfrey yelled at me for being back in her hospital
"YOU JUST LEFT"

"Poppy now is not the time to yell at her" McGonagall said

"What happened?" She asked tending to my head "a concussion and broken back"

"I found her laying on the ground, I think she fell" McGonagall answered

"I can't remember what happened" I said feeling  upset "why can't I remember??"

"You have a concussion deary" Madame Pomfrey said

"I think someone tried hurting her" Hermione added

Ron and Harry were quiet

"Who would want to hurt her?" McGonagall asked

"Blaise Zambini" Harry answered "we have reason to believe he wants to"

"What would make you think that?? That's an awfully big assumption"

"It's a feeling" Ron said

"I can't bring someone in for questioning over a feeling" she said annoyed "Miss.Lupin when your memory comes back, send word to my office"
She didn't want for my answer before leaving, it seemed she was busy doing something

Madame Pomfrey gave me a potion I knew too well
Bone healing
"Youre familiar with this" she said looking at me like a mother would scold her child "honestly I should just make some for you to keep on your person"

"Thank you"

"I'll have to notify your father again" she said

"No it's ok, I'll be alright it's not life threatening right?"

"It's not but he needs to be notified when you are in the hospital. It's a thing all parents are lettered about" she summoned a quill and paper and began writing a letter to my dad

I saw the owl that was specially used for the hospital wing come to her shoulder, lift its leg and wait for her to secure the note
"Safe travel" she said "your father is going to be so confused"

"I know" I said laying down
When Madame Pomfrey left I looked at my friends
"I shouldn't be here too long just what until tomorrow? Is that the protocol?"

"Seems you know already" she yelled to me from her office

"Cora you can't remember anything??" Hermione asked concerned

"I remember leaving Professor Trewlaney's office, then I remember being on the ground that's it"

"Someone tampered with your memory" Harry said "you hit your head but I think you'd remember something from the fall"

"Whenever I try to think of what happened, my mind goes foggy"

"Someone definitely took away your memory" he said looking agitated "you were supposed to go to the library or to the common room"

"Well I didn't" i snapped "I stayed with a professor how much safer could I have been??"

"You chose the least safe option" Ron said "her room isn't like the rest of the professor's, you were fully in a blind spot"

"What do you guys know that I don't?"

Hermione looked at them hesitantly
"We have reason to believe Blaise is after you"

"Why?"

"I was tipped off about it, told to keep the antidote I won in potions close to me. I was told to stay by your side because this person was afraid you would be hurt"

"Who told you?"

She kept direct eye contact, sending me a message that she couldn't say out loud
"It was anonymous"
