Royalty at Hogwarts- Draco Malfoy

Chapter 102

She apparated in the middle of the forbidden forest. After her father had placed her wand in her room, she stole a spare of key from the maids, and used it to open her parent's door. She took back her wand, and apparated on the spot. She could hear screams and fighting from this deep in the forest. She clutched her wand even tighter and started walking towards the castle.

It was only a five-minute walk till it came in view. There was smoke coming out from...every side of the castle. There was fire burning the left side of the castle, and a wall was blown out on the right.

Her breath hitched as she watched the battle. The death eaters were fighting...everyone, students, order members, professors. She couldn't see her friends just yet, but they were here somewhere.

"Toughen up Madeline." She whispered to herself, she ran her hands over the jacket, nervously smoothing it out, but it didn't matter it was already pressed perfectly. She took a deep breath, before she started running on the battlefield. 

She looked around, seeing one of the Patel twins fighting a death eater. Madeline grabbed her wand pointing her wand at the death eater's back, a purple light flew out of her wand, and hit his back. She watched as he dropped to his feet, screaming as he felt a burning sensation all over his body.

"Thank you!" Patel shouted but Madeline barley paid her any attention before she continued searching for her friends. She continued running around the castle, fighting off any death eater that tried to attack her, thanks to the hours of grilling Michael on how to fight. 

She screamed as she felt a hit on her back, she was thrown against the wall, she fell on her knees, her head felt dizzy, but she took a deep breath, and stood up on shaking legs, and turned around, seeing a death eater see didn't know. He smirked at her, raising his wand again, before a green light hit him on the side, and he flew ten yards screaming.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!" Draco shouted, glaring daggers at her. His clothes were ripped, and a little burned, his hair was messy, and there was blood around his shirt, she didn't know if it was his or someone else's. He touched her forehead, her blood staining his fingers. She didn't even realize that her forehead was bleeding.

"To help? Obviously!" 

"No! Michael said you're supposed to be at the castle! You can't be here! How am I supposed to fight this and know that your here, and you could die any second?" Draco shouted, 

"We don't have time to discuss this, I'm already here!" She shouted, as another death eater started walking towards them. She lifted her wand, sending a stupefy curse over Draco's shoulder. 

"See? Just fine." Draco looked over his shoulder seeing his limp body passed out on the ground. 

"Stay with me." He hissed, he grabbed her hand, laced there fingers together, as they started running.

"What happened with you?" She asked, 

"I was in a fire."

"What?" Madeline whispered, as Draco blocked an attack from a death eater, they were starting to attack him for being with Madeline.

"We don't have time to talk about this,"

"So, we had time to talk about me being here but not you being in a fire?" She asked making Draco's mouth twitch up into an almost laugh. She looked around trying to find Daphne, Theo, or Blaise anywhere, but she couldn't find them anywhere. She was praying that they weren't secretly laying dead in the hallway somewhere.

But then she saw Jackson, bloody and bruised, he could barely lift his bloody wand, to try and blast Dolohov out of the way, but he was weak, very weak, and his wand fell out of his hand.

"NO!" She shouted, letting go of Draco's hand. 

"Madeline!" He shouted, as she bolted towards them. He cursed under his breath, and ran after her, as she pointed her wand at Dolohov, he smirked raising his wand at her, they shouted spells at each other there jinx missed each other by less than a millimeter. Her jinx hit him in the chest, it exploded in his face, he flew back, as his skin started burning, like he was on fire but he couldn't put it out. His curse hit her in the shoulder, she screamed as she felt pain erupt all of her skin, feeling like tiny knives were stabbing her skin. 

Draco stood behind her, he pointed his wand in the center of her back, Madeline felt the pain stop. He helped her up, as she took a shaking breath.

"Thank you," She whispered, her hands still shaking, as she walked over to Jackson. His eyes were still open, he managed to scowl at Madeline.

"Why are you here? I thought we told you to stay put?" 

"Why does everyone keep asking me about that?" She asked, she through his arm over her shoulder, 

"Draco come help me. He's too heavy for me." Draco grabbed his other arm, and they helped Jackson up to his feet. 

"Thank you," He whispered to Madeline, leaning his weight against Draco. 

"You'd do the same for me." She said,

"You have fought," A cold voice ripped through the air, it sent chills down Draco's spine, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. The whole room was frozen, rooted to their spot, he felt like even the fire somehow froze to listen to you-know-who.

 "Valiantly. Lord Voldemort knows how to value bravery. Yet you have sustained heavy losses. If you continue to resist me, you will all die, one by one. I do not wish this to happen. Every drop of magical blood spilled is a loss and a waste. Lord Voldemort is merciful. I command my forces to retreat immediately. You have one hour. Dispose of your dead with dignity. Treat your injured."

"I speak now, Harry Potter, directly to you. You have permitted your friends to die for you rather than face me yourself. I shall wait for one hour in the Forbidden Forest. If, at the end of that hour, you have not come to me, have not given yourself up, then battle recommences. This time, I shall enter the fray myself, Harry Potter, and I shall find you, and I shall punish every last man, woman, and child who has tried to conceal you from me. One hour." The death eaters started apparting out of the castle, Madeline looked at Draco.

"Don't go," She whispered, 

"I'm a death eater." He answered, she shook her head.

"But you fought death eaters, they could kill you."

"Yeah man don't do it. Michael would be pretty mad at me if I let his brother go get killed." Jackson said, making Draco chuckle.

"Plus, you have to take me to Madam Pomfrey cause I don't think her highness can carry me."

"I really can't." Madeline agreed, Draco hesitated but nodded. They walked Jackson to the entrance hall. She spotted the rest of the guards, they were carrying a body, she couldn't see whose it was from here, but they walked Jackson over to them. 

"Jackson!" April shouted; she rushed over to them. Draco explained to her what happened, as Madeline looked around. There were dead bodies against the wall, and they were still more being brought in. People were crying in every corner of the room, Madeline watched the Weasley's fussing over Fred Weasley who laid on the ground, resting his head on someone's jacket.

"I'm fine! Will you all stop fussing! My brain has a bleed! Madam Pomfrey is coming to fix it." Fred shouted, Madeline tuned them out as she spotted Theo and Blaise walking into the entrance hall, Theo was carrying Daphne bridal style. Her head tipped back, her eyes shut, her blond hair stained red, her arms hung lifelessly at her sides, and Madeline felt like her world came crumbling down.
