Cordelia Lyra Malfoy had always been different from the rest of her family. Her family were blood-supremacists who tried to teach their views to their children. Cordelia never believed with their views and would be punished for it.
She never felt a...

Everyone returned from the Winter holidays in hopes that things have calmed down, but were still on high alert. Every student and staff were still on edge as they still took precautions. Amos and Adele tried to keep the kids home for the remainder of the year, especially after Codelia's panic attack. The kids stood their ground, however, and convinced the parents to let them return.
Cedric regretted not listening to his parents on thr 10th of February when Kiana and Cordelia went into the girls' bathroom in between classes.
Both girls walked out of their stalls at the same time, giggling at the accuracy of their timing. They washed their hands before they started to fix their hair and makeup, having much needed girl talk while doing so.
"So... Valentine's Day is coming up... Do you think Fred will ask you to be his Valentine?" asked Kiana with her lips curled into a smirk.
"Ana, there is nothing going on between me and Fred," Cordelia declared with a red tint on her cheeks.
Kiana applied foundation to her face. "Yes, there is, Cordi. You're just too blind to see it. He obviously fancies you, and you obviously fancy him. Everyone can see it except for the two of you."
Cordelia leaned over the sink to fix her mascara. "Even if there is something, we're much too young."
"Fourteen is not too young. Just go for it," huffed Kiana while returning her foundation to her bag and taking out some lip gloss.
"I can't. I don't want to mess up our friendship," said Cordelia while checking her foundation.
"I doubt he would let anything ruin your friendship," scoffed Kiana. "But you do fancy him, yeah?"
"Yeah, I fancy him a lot," admitted Codelia with a soft smile and deep blush on her cheeks.
"It's about time you finally admit it," said Kiana with a grin.
The girls began giggling while leaning over the sink to check their eyeshadow. They were so busy talking and giggling that they did not hear the hissing coming from the stalls behind them.
While looking into the mirror, they suddenly saw a pair of large, green eyes in between their reflections, and before they could say or do anything, their worlds went blank.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Cedric was pacing in front of the girls' bathroom door, waiting for his best friends to come out. He thought they were in there for a while and he was beginning to get impatient.
He cracked the door open and called out for them, "Cordi, Ana? Are the two of you almost done in there?"
His question was met with silence, so he considered going in, but he was too much of a gentleman and didn't want to startle anyone else who could be using the bathroom. He looked around the hall to find a girl who could go in and check things out for him when he saw Fred and George walking to class with Lee, Alicia, and Angelina.
"Oi, Johnson, Spinnet!" He called out, gaining their attention. "Can you two do me a favor?"
"Sure, what is it?" asked Alicia after giving a look to Angelina.
"Cordelia and Kiana have been in the loo for a long time. Can you check on them and make sure everything is alright?" He asked, his voice laced in concern.
George gave a small laugh. "They're girls. It's natural for them to spend time in the loo. They're probably gossiping about Fred," George teased, earning an elbow to the side from his twin.
"Yeah, but it's not like them to keep me waiting. Especially not for this long," Cedric argued.
"Yeah, we can check," said Alicia, rolling her eyes at the twins' antics.
She and Angelina walked into the girls lavatory, closing the door behind them. It only took a few seconds before they came running into the hallway with wide eyes and pale skin.
"Get a professor... NOW!" Alicia yelled in panic, causing the boys to jump and Lee to run off to find the nearest adult without question. The boys started towards the door, only to be stopped by Angelina.
"Cedric... Fred... You two probably shouldn't go in there," she said, trying to stop the two boys with her body.
The boys didn't listen and gently pushed Angelina out of the way before running into the room.
"Merlin!" Fred yelled as he and Cedric ran to the two girls who were laying on the floor, their bodies stiff as if they were made of stone. Their eyes were wide in terror, their mouths partly open.
"Cordi! Ana! No!" whispered Cedric as the two boys kneeled next to the two girls.
"What is going on here?! Why are you boys in the girls' lavatory?" asked Professor McGonagall, scolding the boys before her gaze went the girls on the floor. Her eyes went wide and her mouth was open in shock, but she knew she needed to keep her composure in front of the students.
McGonagall quickly brought out her wand and conjured two stretchers. "Boys, place them on the stretchers. I'll levitate them to the Hospital Wing. Miss Johnson and Miss Spinnet, go get Professors Sprout and Dumbledore and meet us there."
With this new attack, no one in the castle felt safe. Before, it was just Muggleborns who were threatened, and now a Pureblood had been attacked. Everyone wondered who would be next.
