Past The Stereotypes

We Bleed Red

ELLIANNA'S POINT OF VIEW

I went to Hogsmead earlier in the year, but this time it was much more fun. This time I had my friends. We walked through the shops joking around buying tons of candy at Honeydukes. We ignored the glares from the other students as usual, but the looming threat of Eric still hung over our heads. 

"Hey Oliver, Look what I got for you at honeydukes!"I taunted holding up a bag of cockroach clusters.

"Eww! Why would you buy those?" Oliver asked.

After getting some butterbeer, we were looking at the Quidditch shop, Cory and Ella were looking at the at the owl Emporium While Oliver and I finished looking at the newest broomstick, the Firebolt. 

"You know, I have always wanted to play Quidditch" He said touching the glass that covered the broomstick.  

"Why didnt you play then?"I asked, but Oliver didn't get a chance to answer my question.

"You know, I thought a Gryffindor and Ravenclaw would know better than to be friends." Came a harsh voice from behind us.

To used to being taunted like this, we didn't answer. We didn't even turn around.

"Hey kid, your supposed to be smart, you should know that you should respect your superiors." The other one said grabbing Oliver's shoulders and turning him around to face them.

I stood there, I couldn't move. There were two of them both 7th years.

"I will respect my superiors when I meet them." Oliver growled turning back around.

"Ah, we have a smart one here Alex. Why dont we see what the little girl has to say?" One of them said.

OLIVER'S POINT OF VIEW

I felt myself go numb. They were not going to lay a finger on Ellianna!

"Back off!" I yelled. The whole store stopped and looked at me.

"Oh, now you want to fight. be careful what you wish for." He smirked. I felt my stomach drop.

Suddenly the room was filled with black smoke. I couldn't see anything. 

I could hear muffled yells and flashes of light rushing through the sir to us. US! Were is Ellianna!

"ELLIANNA!" I called out. There was no answer.

I felt  a cutting curse hit my arm, and the warm trickle of blood run down my arm. A muffled gasp came from behind me I could see her shape through the thinning smoke.

I tried to call out again but inhaled smoke and went into a coughing fit.

I felt a soft hand on my shoulder, it was Ellianna. Before I could think A cutting curse Hit Ellianna in the leg. 

I felt rage go through me, they were not going to hurt us anymore.

Grabbing Ellianna's hand, I ran towards the door, dodging flashes of light. We ran and kept on running until we got to an alley. Ellianna collapsed. She was unconscious.

I heard feet running towards us. I tensed waiting for them to find us but the only people who found us were Ella and Cory. Ella stayed back in shock, while Cory rushed  to help Ellianna. 

I took a few deep breaths. Ellianna was okay and the others were still safe.
