hexed

chapter 20

I feel tears of acid burn down my face as I see the fox sprawled on the grass, withering in pain.without a doubt it's scorpius, I can't believe he took that curse for me. mum and dad appear at my side but they seem far away, in a distant place. they don't understand, they didn't see the blonde haired boy, blur into a fox and save their daughters life.

but teddy did.

he dashes over to scorpius and scoops him up gently, rushing him inside. I stagger behind them, drunk with sorrow and guilt.

it's all my fault.

if I had focussed and blocked the spell...

I burst into the room, scorpius lying on the floor, coated in cuts, red blood seeping through his red fur.

a stab of pain grips my heart but I force myself to focus, he isn't dead- yet.

I race to the cupboard and pull open to door.

a small vile of blue liquid sits at the back of the cupboard.

"it can heal nearly anything" I remember my mum telling me

I snatch it from the shelf and knell over him dripping the liquid into the worst if the wounds.

"scorpius! can u change back?" ii whisper.

the fox wimpers sadly.

"scorpius please!" I feel my heart burn in my chest.

he wimpers louder and shakes his head furiously, I can see tiny tears pouring from his crystal eyes.

my heart sinks as I realise the message he is trying to send.

no matter how hard he tries or

what he does.

scorpius can't change back.

he can't change back into a human.
