"What do you mean?"

"They are having a guard change over." I straighten myself up. "They are transporting us tonight. I don't know where, but Voldemort is coming back soon."

"How long until they change?" Pansy joins in.

"I don't know but it's got to be soon. We just need to wait and be ready to get the fuck out of here at any opportunity." 

Everyone nods in approval. 

"Mara?" Mattheo says quietly, turning to me individually.

Everyone else seems to get the hint because they all disperse. Draco is the last to go, giving me the same look i still can't figure out. 

"Take this." I slip the wand into his hand. 

"You don't want it?" 

"You are more skilled than me. It would be more use to you." That's a half truth. The other part about me not being able to use it doesn't need to be mentioned yet. He slides it from my palm and slips it into his pocket. 

"Are you okay?"

"Brilliant." I sigh.

"Do you still feel lightheaded?"

"Yeah a bit but i'm fine."

"Fine?." He scoffs. "You've just got back with unconscious with blood pouring from your nose."

"I wasn't really unconscious."

"What?"

"I was pretending so i could get the wand from... it's doesn't even matter. I'm okay. I'll be with you." 

"Id get you out before me any day."

"I know that. I don't want to drag you down."

"Drag me down. I don't care." 

I smile, and the guilty feeling creeps back up inside me again. Leaning down, he places a small kiss on my lips. Part of me wishes we weren't in a room full of people. 

It seems as though the whole fucking wizarding world is against this relationship that amount of times we get interrupted. The door swings inwards violently, and the death eater comes marching towards me. Everyone jumps up instantly and Mattheo turns to throw his body in front of me. 

"Where's my wand?" He screams in my face, getting closer with every stride. 

"Avery calm down." The other one shouts from behind him. His wand it pointed at me. 

Avery stops walking, huffing and puffing like he's run a fucking mile. 

"Where's the wand sweetheart?" The other one grins at me, twisting his hand slightly. 

"Don't have your wand." I say quietly. 

"Well that's just a lie isn't it darling." Avery says panicked, he looks insane, like he's lost his mind.

I let my eyes dart to Theo momentarily. We make eye contact, and i instantly change my view to the open doorway. Fuck the changeover. We can get out now. 

"JUST GIVE ME THE FUCKING WAND." Avery shouts.

"Give him the wand sweetheart and i won't have show you my cruciatus curse. Lucius might not be happy but i'd love a chance to hear your writhe in pain." 

That's enough for Mattheo. Pulling the wand from his pocket in a flash, the words "STUPEFY" come falling from his mouth.

The death eater blocks it instinctly. He cocks his head to the side. "That wasn't a smart move boy." Then the curse come hurling in our direction.
