The crowd grows loud as Grayson and Louis start fighting. Preston watches for a while until Louis starts winning, hovering on top of Grayson and punching his face repeatedly. Then Preston rushes into the scene and pulls Louis off of Grayson, punching him.
I feel tears glide down my cheeks as I stare at Grayson, who lay on the floor, bloody and breathing heavily. I can't look at him the same ever again.
I look over at Louis and Preston. My brother throws Louis onto the floor hard. He looks like he's going to pass out.
Just before Preston walks over to Louis to beat him up even more, I grab my wand and point it at Preston, shouting, "Stupefy!"
He gets launched to the other end of the bar. Not caring about him or Grayson, I run to Louis and wrap his arm around my neck before helping him stand and walking him through the crowd.
"Makayla, don't leave me!" Grayson groans in pain.
"Walk yourself to the Hospital Wing," I hiss coldly.
Annelise, Blaise, Harry, Hermione, Keyanna, and Ron are waiting at the party doors. Annie's eyes widen when she sees Louis and it looks as if her heart breaks into a million pieces. I'm going to be honest, mine has already done that three times tonight.
"What happened?" she asks, wrapping Louis' other arm around her shoulders.
"He got in a fight with Grayson and Preston."
"Preston? Grayson?" Annie sounds surprised when she says Preston's name. I nod as she helps me help Louis out of the party. "Why aren't you helping Grayson?"
When I look at her, she's smiling the same smug smile she gave me when she found out about that kiss last year. Rolling my eyes, I respond, "It turns out that Grayson is more of a jerk than Louis is."
"Why aren't you helping Preston?"
I sigh at her question. She's still in love with him and believes part of me would still help him. She isn't exactly wrong. That eleven year old girl is still in here, I've just locked her in a prison cell and put a muzzle on her mouth. "I hate Preston, y'know? He's just as bad as I was in first year. Plus, I'm not helping him because he'd kill me the second he wakes up."
"Why would he do that?"
"Because I blasted him through a wall."
Her jaw drops, but then, eventually, we both burst into laughter.
The walk to the Hospital Wing is short, but long at the same time. The moment we drop Louis off, Annie stays behind to be there when he wakes. Everyone else has already gone to bed.
When I walk into the Slytherin Common Room, I see Draco sitting in front of the fireplace. Reluctantly, I sit next to him.
We stare at the fire for a few moments before he says, "I'm sorry."
This sudden apology startles me. "For what?" I know what he's apologizing for. I only want to hear him say it.
"I'm sorry for everything. I got caught trying to do the mission and Father has been taking advantage of you being gone. He's been making you the bad guy in his villain story. So, I guess what I'm mainly sorry for is believing him..."
