The Blood Traitor || Oc x Oc

A Kiss To Remember

Everyone cheered as Harry revealed himself after confronting Professor Snape. Sera quickly walked forward and high-fived her brother, grinning triumphantly. But everything went at a stand-still when an odd feeling filled the air. Sera's smile faded some, turning into a frown of confusion. Professor McGonagall took notice. 

"Potters?" she asked anxiously. 

A girl screamed. The twins whipped around to face the girl screaming. Harry took off in the direction to make sure that the girl was alright. Sera hurried after her brother, anxious to comfort the girl who sounded as though she was in pain. 

They reached the girl, finding that she had sunken to the ground, her eyes wide. Another girl screamed. Sera immediately hurried towards the noise, anxious to comfort another Hogwarts student. The voice of Voldemort suddenly filled the air. Both twins froze. 

"I know that many of you want to fight. Some of you may even think that to fight is wise. But this is folly! Give me Harry Potter and I will leave Hogwarts untouched. Bring me Harry Potter, and you will be rewarded. His sister is not allowed to follow him if you give him to me. You will be rewarded. You have one hour." 

Silence. Voldemort's voice had disappeared. Everyone turned and gave Sera and Harry terrified looks. Finally, Pansy Parkinson spoke up, aiming a finger at Sera's twin, looking terrified. 

"Well, what are you waiting for?! Somebody grab him!" 

On cue, Sera immediately put herself in front of her brother, with many of Harry's friends and a good majority of Dumbledore's Army following suit. Sera stood in front of her brother, arms crossed over her chest, giving Pansy Parkinson a raised eyebrow, as though saying 'hurt my brother, then you will die on the spot'. 

"STUDENTS OUT OF BED!" the familiar voice of Mr. Filch drawled loudly through the corridors. "STUDENTS OUT OF BED! STUDENTS IN THE CORRIDORS —"

"They are supposed to be out of bed, you blithering idiot!" Professor McGonagall finally burst out. Mr. Filch backed away in surprise. 

"Oh. S-Sorry, ma'am." 

Professor McGonagall walked towards him. "And your arrival is most opportune. If you don't mind, I would like you to lead Miss Parkinson and the rest of Slytherin House from the Hall." 

Mr. Filch did not look too pleased as many of the other students who weren't in Slytherin gave each other triumphant looks. "And — And where would you like me to take them to, ma'am?" 

"The dungeons would do." 

Everyone cheered. Sera grinned and hurried after her brother as he hurried towards Professor McGonagall. The professor eyed the twins with much respect, with a hint of pity gleaming in her eyes. 

"I assume that the two of you have reasons to return here, Potters. What is it that the two of you need?" 

"Time, Professor," Harry answered at once. "As much time as you can give me and my sister." 

Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement. "Do what you need to do. I'll secure the castle." The duo nodded and began to walk away, when Professor McGonagall stopped them. "Potters? It's good to see you again." 

Sera grinned, waving to Professor McGonagall. "It's great to see you, too, Professor. Neville? Go and secure the gates." 

Neville seemed quite ecstatic to be doing something to help his friends. In the meanwhile, Dante had caught up to Sera and pulled her aside. She was surprised to see that he was grinning from ear-to-ear.
