Adalyn Black - A Harry Potter Love Story

Chapter 19

*****Third Person (trying it out)*****

Hermione wakes up and starts digging in her trunk for something. Then Rora wake up she turns to Addie's bed but notices that she's not there.

"Mione?" She asks nervously.

"Yea?" Hermione responds still digging through her trunk.

"Where's Addie?"

"Oh my gosh. I almost forgot."

"What aren't you telling me?"

"Well Ron insulted me and Addie so I ran off to the bathroom and Addie followed and then she knocked out by the troll. I wanted to help her, I really did but I was petrified. If I wasn't I could've helped her and I would've. The boys and Mak ended up coming and then Mak tried to save her but it was too late."

"Don't tell me she's dead."

"She wasn't when Snape brought her to the hospital--"

"Snape brought her to the hospital?" Rora interrupts.

"That's what I thought as well, but ya. I guess he's taken a liking to her. Anyways she couldn't be over night but I really doubt it. She wouldn't give up that easily...would she?"

"No." Rora answers immediately. "No she's stronger than that. So what happened with the troll?"

"We were going home out of the bathroom then there was a troll. It knocked out Addie with one blow of its club and I froze. It started hitting her with it like I don't know. It didn't stop until Mak and the boys came it. Mak threw something and it turned to them and she pulled me out of the way and then went to get Addie then Harry got on its neck and it stepped back and onto Addie. Harry knocked it out and then McGonagall and Snape came in and ya..."

"We have to go see her."

"Get dressed first."

"No. You don't understand. Addie is my only family. We have to go see her."

"Okay. Okay. I'm coming." Without changing into regular clothes, the two girls walk out of their dorm and to the common room. The boys, in their pajamas as well, are about to walk out the portrait hole. "Hey," Mione calls out. "Wait for us."

The boys wait as Rora and Mione catch up to them. "I'm sorry about this Rora," Harry says. "We really did try to help her but she was already knocked out by the time we got there."

"It's okay," Rora chocks out, her voice hoarse and her eyes filling with tears.

"She'll be alright," Ron says.

"I know."

••• Meanwhile •••

"How did this happen?" Professor Sprout asks to Madam Pomfrey, who is still taking care of the wounds, and Professor McGonagall. Addie doesn't even look like a human anymore. Her injuries are so swollen and her bones are snapped.

"According to Miss Granger, Addie sacrificed herself for Hermione and well..." Professor McGonagall couldn't go on. She knew who Addie's father was and she knew that he was innocent. She knew how much he cared for this girl and she knew how much she herself cared. Professor McGonagall loved the girl like a daughter. Like her daughter, like her daughter that was in Azkaban for the same reason as Addie's father; for a crime she didn't commit.
