Challenge Me; I Dare You

Chapter 7

     A look of determination flashed in his eyes, slowly he began to lean in, his eyes fluttering shut.

Slowly I found myself closing my eyes as well, a leaning forwards bit by bit, at an extremely slow pace.

Just as I felt his breath on my lips, a burst of coldness surrounded us as we fell backwards.

George's weight was gone as soon as it was there, he sat beside me, laughing hysterically with his twin.

Of course..

The first opportunity I had for someone to kiss me turned out all to be an option to prank me.

Shaking my head I stood up, now drenched head to toe in murky water.

I sighed quietly, and padded my way out of the water, I looked down at my feet and into my reflection.

I could see my scars..

It's almost as if the water has washed away the charm, like washing away my cover up.

"Piper?" George's cautious voice questioned me from behind. I turned and glared a him, a look of disbelief crossing his features, and then of course, pity.

I jerked around and shifted into my Animagus form and ran.

"..Useless.."

"But she.."

"No.."

"..Die..."

"...both?"

"Yes..."

I furrowed my brows, trying to determine what my mother and father were speaking of.

And then it hit me..

They were planning on betraying us..

I hesitated slightly before running up the stairs and into my room, there laid Vince and I, side by side on my red quilted bed.

Innocent and unknowing at the time.

Until..

A roar and a stream of fire shot through the window. I screamed, pushing Vincent out of the way just as the fire licked my legs.

Vince and I ran towards the door, passing through me as if I wasn't there.

I followed Vice and I out, knowing what was coming next.

Vince and I jogged down the stairs, there in our living room was Bellatrix Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy. A sickening smile etched Malfoy's face, he lunged forwards, grabbing me and holding me to he spot.

It only took a second and the look in my parent's eyes to realize we were being betrayed by our own parents. I shot a look a Vincent.

"Go!" I screamed. He opened his mouth to object. I grabbed Lucious' wand which was held to my throat at the point.

I gave Vincent a quick and apologetic/tortured look before I yelled out, "Flipendo."

Vincent was shot back, right through the open window.

"Crucio!"

I fell to my knees screaming in agony.

I gasped, jerking upwards. I glanced around at my surroundings, noticing I was in the Forbidden Forest.

I shook my head, standing I made my way from the forest, my safe haven in other words.
