Annabella The Sidekick (Sequal To Defiance)

Chapter 10

After we get back to Hogwarts, things start to escalate. Harry gets hit with a bludger, breaking his arm. Then that doof Lockhart tries to fix his arm, but takes all the bones out instead! Collin Creevy is petrified, along with a few others. Harry learns that he can speak Parseltongue during dueling club, and Ginny won't leave me alone. She bullies me constantly.
One night in the beginning of June, I'm walking back from the Great Hall alone, because I had a transfiguration question for McGonagall. As I'm walking I hear a voice calling to me. "Annabella." It whispers. "Annabella." From the Goosebumps I get, I realize that this isn't a prank. I turn the corner to go to the common room, and in the reflection in a window, I see a gigantic snake, with a boy on top. "Prepare to die, Annabella Black." And then I'm laying on the ground. I can't speak, I can't move, and I can't cry. The giant snake picks me up with its tail and retreats into somewhere cold and dark. "Welcome to the Chamber of Secrets." The boy says. Then I see Ginny. "Tom?" She asks. "Why is Annabella down here?" She asks. "Oh my dear child, I need her just as I need you." Tom replies. And then Ginny is laying on the floor beside me. "You see, I'm only a memory. I don't have a solid body. But I'll be draining your life, which will give me my solid body back." He says. "Don't worry about dying though. It's just like falling asleep."
Slowly, my eyes begin to droop. I can't keep them open. I fight not to let Tom take my life, but before I know it, I can't feel anything.
I wake up in a field of flowers. Immediately, I think I'm dead. Then I see two people. One has red hair and green eyes just like Harry's. The other looks exactly like an older Harry, except for his eyes. I know that this is Lily and James Potter. "Am I dead?" I ask, thinking of Fred, George, Harry, Draco, my parents, and everyone. "Not exactly." James replies. "Harry's coming." Lily says. "Will I survive?" I ask. "Honestly, I don't know." James says. "If you do though, tell your mother I miss her." James says. "And tell Harry we're proud of him." Lily says. "Don't be afraid. Be brave instead." Lily says. "But I'm not brave! I'm a Slytherin!" I cry. "You're plenty brave." James says. "Good luck." Lily says. "Goodbye." James says. And then I'm in the dark, cold, place again. I open my eyes to see Harry. "Harry!" I cry, sitting up to wrap arms around him. "Bells! Are you okay?" He asks. "You're so pale." I shrug, not really knowing. "I saw your mum and dad Harry. They're proud of you." I say. He smiles. "What happened?" I ask. "Well Tom Riddle turned to be Voldemort. He used this gigantic snake to try and kill me, but I killed it with a sword Dumbledore's Phoenix brought me." He says. "George and Fred are really worried about you. They've been sitting in the common room for hours, not talking." He says.
A few minutes later, we're flying out of the chamber by Dumbledore's Phoenix. As soon as we're out, everyone is rushed to the hospital wing. Despite being weak, I'm otherwise okay, so I can go if I promise to take it easy. As I'm walking out, I see Uncle Lucy and Dobby. "Hey! What're you doing here?" I ask. "I just have to speak to Dumbledore. I heard about what happened. Are you all right?" He asks. "I'm fine. I'm weak and my head hurts a bit but I'm okay." I say. "Well I must be going. Goodbye." He says. "Goodbye." I reply.
I walk into the common room and everyone is standing there. They immediately stop talking and stare at me. Then I'm tackled by two red heads. "We thought you were dead!" They tell at the same time. "I'm okay. And so is Ginny." I reply. They smile in relief. George buries his head in my neck, not caring that everyone is staring. "I thought you weren't coming back." He says. "I'm okay. Really." I say. "Good." George replies. He helps me up, and then in front of all the staring people, he kisses me. Just like our first kiss. Then there's a flash and Fred is holding a camera. "This is one for the Christmas cards!" He exclaims. I roll my eyes but dive for the picture anyway. I grab it and stuff it in my pocket. Fred wraps an arm around me. "We missed you Bells." He says. George grabs my hand. "We really did." He says. "Yeah but I'm okay." I say. "You almost weren't though!" They say together. "But I am!" I exclaim.
Fred and George decide to go to the hospital wing to visit Ginny, and I want to go see Harry. George leans down, and says, "Hop on!" So I get on his back and he takes off to the hospital wing.
When we get there, it's quite early, but neither Harry nor Ginny are sleeping. I climb into Harry's bed with him, and rest my head on his shoulder. "Thank you for saving me." I say. "I'd never forgive myself if something happened to you and I could've prevented it." He says.
Then my mum and dad burst through the door. "Harry! Annabella! Are you two all right?" My mum asks. "We're fine Mum." I tell her. "We were so worried Anna." My father says. "I'm fine Dad." I reply. "Fine? Harry fought a bloody basilisk! My mum exclaims. "It bit him!" Dad says. "If it wasn't for Dumbledore's Phoenix, he would've died!" Mum says. "Oh boy." I say. "This will be a long summer." I whisper to Harry, who agrees.
On the last day of school, Fred, George, and I are sitting in the common room. "We'll hang out this summer. We can meet in the village or something." George says. "It'll be fun!" Fred says. "Except we're also going to Egypt to visit Bill. He's a curse breaker." George says. "That's cool. It sounds like fun." I say. "We're not going anywhere." George frowns. "We'll have a ton of adventures after we get back." He says. "I'll hold you to it." I say. "I don't have a problem with that." George says.
The next day, we pull into King's Cross. I hug Fred and George. "I love you." He says. "I love you too." I reply. Then we head off the train and to the summer holidays.
