Hopeless : Sirius Black's daughter Book 2

The impostor

"Get me four candles and some Winree weeds. Now Blaise!" I said. He ran off to get them. There was no time to brew a Potion so I stole some strong healing Potions from Snape's storeroom. When Blaise returned, I drew the circle and lit the candles. I poured the healing Potion to the ground.

"Can you stop shaking? I need you to be my anchor. Be strong." I said to Blaise. I touched Draco's head. "Felis rezores." I said drawing power from the earth. A gust of wind blew the curtains around, potion ingredients swam across the room. I had never used a spell this powerful before. Draco was healing, finally his cut healed completely.

"Camilla something is wrong with me. Aaarggh." Blaise looked like he was being drained of his strength.

"Miss Black? What are you doing here?" said Snape. His dark eyes widened "What kind of magic are you practising? I can spot dark magic from afar." his nostrils flared.

"I'm not practicing dark magic." I said and bolted before he could reply. I needed to find Moody. I needed answers.

I ran through the corridors straight into Cedric.

"There you are. I've been looking for you." he said.

"I'm kinda in a hurry Ced." I said.

"Okay. I have to finish practising for the third task so I dont know if I'll see you before then. I want you to know, Miley that I have never felt about anyone, the way I feel about you. Being apart is driving me crazy. And I'm breaking up with Cho so that after the third task we can be officially together. If you will have me.." he said. I stood still, daring to believe that what I just heard was real.

"Do you mean it?" I whispered.

"Yes, so what do you say?" he sounded nervous. I walked up to him and pressed my lips to his. Again my whole body responded. His presence ignited a burning fire in my heart. I could melt.

"Does that answer your question?" I said breathlessly

"Yes, I'm going to win this Miley. For you." he said. I watched him walk off before I remembered where I had been going. I opened the door to Moody's office and found him bending over something.

"Professor? I need to talk to you.." I said and he turned around alarmed. Something was wrong. His magical eye looked like it wanted to pop out of its socket.

"Miss Black, leave now. Come back later." He said and even his voice was defected.

"I smell something. Is that Polyjuice-" I started and then I knew. We both drew our wands at the same time.

"Who are you? Wait. It's you. Voldemort's servant at Hogwarts. You tried to put my name in the goblet."I said.

"You are smart, but not smart enough." he said as the magic eye was about to pop out, he drank the potion, wand raised. I concentrated on Blaise. Then I connected to the earth.

"Did I mention that the more power you draw, the weaker you make your anchor?" he said.

I wavered slightly. "What?" I asked but he was quick.

"Petrificus Totalus." he said giving me the body bind curse.

"Haven't I taught you anything Camilla? Constant vigilance. Never let your guard down even for a second. I'm actually hurt you know that you tried to attack me. I thought we were friends. But oh well, I just have to keep you here. No one will miss you." he said. Suddenly a vision came to me.

I was in a graveyard. "Kill the spare." said a cold high pitched voice.

"Avada Kedavra!" screamed Wormtail and when I saw the person who had fallen, I screamed.

"Cedric! I ran to him but he was dead. His eyes were wide open in surprise. Harry was being tied up by Wormtail.

I tried to scream when I returned to the present.

"What did you see?" fake Moody said. "Legillimens." I had to relive the scene in my mind again, I didn't want to see it. "Will he rise again Camilla? Look for it! See it!" said the impostor. I really didn't want to. But I Saw it anyway. Lord Voldermort stepping out of a cauldron fully risen.

"That is all I needed to know." said the impostor. And he carried me to Moodys trunk and opened the seventh lock. He threw me inside. In there was the real Moody.

"Renervate." I thought to the earth. And I could move again. But the trunk was already locked.

"Hey, real Moody. So I hear that this place takes away a person's power. Is it true? Of course it is. You can't hear me." I said. I could hear Wormtail's voice, raising Voldermort. 'Bone of the father, unknowingly given you will renew your son'

'Flesh of the servant willingly given you will revive your master.'

'Blood of the enemy forcibly taken you will ressurect your foe.' Cedric was going to die and for what? Being in..the..wrong...place at the wrong time. My strength was waning. I felt myself drifting away steadily into an empty house. "Hello?" I said.

"Miley. Come over here." said a familiar voice. She was dressed in a red dress this time, her blonde hair falling in neat waves and her blue eyes dropped in sadness.

"Mum. Am I dead?" I asked and she smiled. "No. Half dead. I need to know that you trust me." she said.

"Of course I do." I said.

She looked down at me. "Good. Because people will tell you bad things about me. I'm your mother Miley. I would never want to hurt you. Don't believe them." she said.

"Sleep now, you will need to rest for what is to come. If you see Sirius, tell him that I love him and I miss him."

I drifted off again.
