Alone BOOK 2 All the Stars

Chapter 24: Dead

Juliet

It's nearing the end of the year and Draco and Ryan got better, for a while. They weren't missing classes, at least the ones I was in with them. They went to their meals and ate, not as much as they used to but it was something. Draco also took Dallas on dates, one almost every week. They still looked tired and exhausted but they were someone back to normal. That is until about two months ago then everything went downhill. They stopped coming to classes and meals all together. Dallas didn't see or get a word from Draco.

Dallas and I were sitting in the great hall eating breakfast when Katie Bell returned. She was finally back after she was poisoned in the winter from the necklace. Potter got up to talk to her, probably to ask about who poisoned her. Potter had been off the wall suspicious about Draco and Ryan. And he was hell bent on proving Draco and Ryan guilty. He had become obsessed.

Potter stopped talking and I looked in the direction he was staring. Draco and Ryan were  frozen at the great hall entrance. Luckily Dallas didn't notice as they turned and ran out of the hall, Harry in pursuit. I excused myself and quickly went after the three. They ran into the bathroom and I stopped at the door. I heard things exploding and clanging. I refrained myself from going in and breaking up the fight. Until I heard a yell.

I throw cation in the wind and stormed into the bathroom to be met with a sight of disaster. The bathroom was completely destroyed and my cousin and brother was withering in pain surrounded by a pool of their own  blood. There was blood, so much blood. Potter stared at me and ran. The rest of it became a blur. Snape came and fixed both of them as they were unconsciousness.

That was 3 days ago. I am sitting in the hospital wing in between Draco and Ryan's bed. They haven't woken up yet. Dallas came to visit Draco but she didn't stay long. She was conflicted I could tell. She loved him, whether she knew it or not. But he disappeared but now was hurt. She didn't know what to think.

Addie visited to, which surprised me. When she saw me she blushed and said she didn't think I would be there. I scoffed jokingly. She then told me she had a crush on my brother for some time now but didn't want to say anything in fear of rejection and that I could be mad at her. I smiled and shook my head. I would be happy if they started to date, but then one of those slytherin sluts that hangs off him.

Dallas eventually pulled me out of the hospital wing to shower and change. I also ate, a full meal, and it was so good. It was dark by the time I walked back to the wing only to find two empty beds. Confused I ran out of there only to be met by a surprising sight.

Students, mainly Gryffindors were fighting people in black clothes, death eaters. How they got in I didn't know. I noticed Sophia fighting Yaxley, and struggling. He hit her with a spell and she got knocked unconscious. He was planning to kill her but I disarmed and stunned him, giving me enough time to drag her somewhere safe. When I got back out there Dallas, Bailey, Sawyer, Celine,Theo and Addie were also fighting. They're was a crack and hiss and then the Death eaters just vanished into black smoke. I looked out the window to see the Dark Mark over something. A crowd eventually gathered around it and it was later announced that it was Dumbledore and he was dead.

I was looking for Draco and Ryan when I bumped into George. A little beat up but still George.

"Julie," He smiles and gives me one of his famous bone crushing hugs.

"George, How have you been?" I ask.

"Good. Shops great, life's good. What about you?"

"Ok, it's been tough but I'm okay. I-"

"GEORGE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" A voice screeched, making several heads turn and stare at us. I noticed Remus and Tonks as well as a few other order members and the weasleys. The voice belonged to Fred. His face as red as his hair.

"Fred I can't say hey to a friend?" George says shocked.

"No, not when she's one of the people who created this mess. Not when she's a death eater." Fred seethes.

Now it's my turn to turn red, "For the last time I am not a death eater you can check for all I care!"

"Like that proves anything," Fred yells, "I could've lost Sophia tonight or Bill, all because of your kind."

"For the last time that's not me!"

"Then explain why Harry said he saw your brother and cousin pointing there wands to kill dumbledore and running with death eaters after."

His words leave me shocked and I push my way past them and out into the first court yard I find. There I collapse on the ground and let out sobs. Not wanting to believe Fred's words a part of me does, these are the that boys I grew up with and love are in fact death eaters. It would explain everything that's been going on this year. The way they've been acting it makes sense.

Footsteps pull me out of my thoughts. I look up to see Tonks and Izy. Both of which sit on the floor next to me and I lay my head on Izy's shoulder.

"I tried to hard to tell him." I sniff, "you believe me don't you? That I am not a death eater."

"Of course we believe you." Tonks says smoothing my hair.

"Fred is just angry." Izy adds, "It was a close call for their family tonight."

"I think he's right though," I add, "At least about Draco and Ryan. I hate to admit it but I think they are death eaters. At least since the summer."

Izy and Tonks share a look only confirming my suspicions and I hang my head.

"I have an idea!" Izy exclaims, "Come with me. I'm leaving with Charlie in a few days and I want you to come with us."

"Finally Dating?" I ask with a smile.

She blushes and smile. Things are going to be okay.
