Dan and Phil are back in Hogwarts!

11-Dan

"Why are you doing this, Noah? I thought you cared about us!" I shouted, dodging a spell. 

"I'm doing it because I care!" He shouted, lowering his wand, his glare disappearing. "I'm doing it for you guys. I'm doing it for all the students at Hogwarts that never got treated like they deserved." 

I looked at him, lowering my wand slightly. "Then why are you trying to kill us?!" Noah walked closer, biting his lip. I took a step back.

"You guys are the only thing standing in Diabolus' way. I tried to talk him out of wanting you guys dead but then...." 

"Then what?!" I shouted, raising my wand again. 

"He wanted you and Phil dead! If I didn't try he was gonna kill Arlo!" Noah yelled. 

"And how the fuck did that work out for you?" I shouted. "It's your fault she's dead! Not mine, not Phil's! It's all yours!" I couldn't believe what I was about to do. I pointed my wand at him. "Avad-" 

"NO!" Suddenly I was tackled to the ground, my wand flying out of my hand and breaking against a statue. I looked up to my attacker. 

"What the hell, Phil?!" 

"Dan, if we kill him it makes us no better than him!" He yelled, keeping my wrists pinned to the ground. 

"Phil, if we don't kill him, he'll kill us! He'll kill everyone!" I thrashed. "He already might've killed Domino! He's probably killed Cohen! Do you want us to be next?!" 

That's when the sound of coughing came into play. Both Phil and I turned to see Domino, wheezing and holding her chest. She was hacking up blood which couldn't be good for her health. Phil quickly stood, running to her side and helping her sit up. I sat up quickly and stood, sighing with relief when I saw Penny and Nancy working on fighting Noah. 

I went to run over and help them but I found someone holding me back. I turned to see Jones, gripping me by the collar of my shirt, King beside him. "Let go of me!" I shouted, thrashing. "Let me and my friends go, dammit!" I didn't have my wand thanks to Phil so it was up to my wits and strength. I didn't have much of either. 

Penny looked over to me and paled. "Dan!" She shouted, running away from the fight, leaving Nancy alone against Noah. She pointed her wand at Jones. "St-" 

King pointed his wand at her. "Sectumsempra!" He shouted. 

"NO!" I shouted, using all my strength to throw myself in the way. I fell to the ground as the force of the spell hit me. I felt my skin tear itself apart, I heard screaming, it took me a second to realize it was me.

"Dan!" Penny screamed, kneeling beside me. I winced as she put a gentle hand on my torso. She looked down at me, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Why'd you do that?" She asked quietly, taking off her scarf and pressing it to the worst of the gashes across my body. "You...you shouldn't have done that...you shouldn't risk your life for me" 

"What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't risk my life for you?" I asked her, trying to hide the excruciating pain throughout my body. Dark spots were filling my vision, it was getting hard to breathe. "Plus....I love you" I told her quickly, wincing. "I love you, Penelope Garret. I love you a lot" I was aware of Phil shouting somewhere nearby. If I knew correctly, Noah was unconscious. My vision was failing me fast, I could no longer make out Penny's figure. 

Before it all faded to black I heard a quiet "I love you too" 

Penny

I stared down at Dan's unconscious figure. He was in a growing puddle of blood. Gashes covered his body. I heard Phil saying something, he was yelling, but couldn't make it out. I looked up at Jones and King who were smirking evilly down at me. I picked up my wand and slowly stood. "Locomotor Mortis!" I shouted, pointing it at King. He instantly crumbled to the ground, his legs locked. I pointed my wand at Jones. "Expelliarmus!" I yelled, his wand flying out of his hand. While they were both distracted, I took the chance to do the same spell on them that they had tried to do to me. Both were left groaning on the ground, bleeding. 

I looked around to see who else might need help. Both Nancy and Noah were unconscious, breathing heavily. I then looked to Phil who had Cohen by him. Where had he come from? Domino, (the real one), was still unconscious in Phil's arms, he held her closely, lovingly, I couldn't imagine what was going through his head at that point. Oh wait, I could. "Phil! Cohen! We need to get out of here!" I called to them, worriedly looking back at Nancy. 

"But they party's just getting started," said a voice I didn't recognize. I turned around towards it. A middle aged man stood there, arms crossed as he smirked. He had salt and pepper hair pulled back into a man-ponytail. Eww. Though he didn't say his name, and I had never met him before, I knew who this was. Diabolus.
