Can you really change a Prophecy?

Sacrifice

You sat in your room for a while after Draco left. After a while, you started to feel a bit hungry so you put on a shirt and headed downstairs. No one was in the common room so you must have been in there through breakfast and the first dress rehearsal for the yule ball tonight. When you showed up at the dining area barely anyone was there. The group sat at their usual spot but you decided to sit at the end where barely anyone sat just in case your stomach couldn't handle any food. You put a small spoonful of everything on your plate and started to eat before someone sat in front of you. You didn't look up and stared at your plate waiting for them to speak. However, no one spoke and you felt a couple more people sit down near you. You didn't realize who it was till they started talking. "I am so excited for the ball!" Pansy practically yelled you smiled a little down at your plate imagining her face. Draco kicked you softly under the table making you grunt but you still stared at your plate. Pansy touched your shoulder, she must have been sitting beside you, you looked over at her. "Yes?" You asked in a harshed town, you can see her mind trying to find something nice to say. "How is everything?" She asked you trying to be friendly. Your stomach started to churn but you ignored it. "It's just fine, yours?" You asked glancing at her plate. "Mine's really good, would you like to try?" She took a small bite off with her fork and moved it to your mouth, you reluctantly took a bite and swallowed. Not even tasting it. "That is good." Pansy's smile grew wide making you smile as well. You looked at everyone and they smiled at you. "I know you don't want to hear this right now," Pansy interrupted. "But I have to tell you because we wouldn't be a team if I didn't." You nodded at her to continue. "I would not spread those rumors about you. I don't care how in love with Draco, I respect you and am terrified of you. I also value the friendship that this might turn into and I would not have done that if I did not. I just wanted to tell you face to face, I also even tried to figure out who did. We lost our leader, and no offense but Draco did tell us about the letter you wrote asking to be alone. We want to be with you, believe it or not, I thought we were all close. I know we had our ups and downs but I really thought we all connected considering the circumstances. And-" You interrupted her rambling. "Thank you, Pansy. It means a lot to me. I figured you didn't do it anyways." You said barely audible. Everyone smiled again like it was rehearsed. "I also wanted to thank you guys for giving me space, I needed it." You sat straight up feeling much better. You looked at everyone individually until you went to look next to Crabbe who had a missing Axel. "Where is Donovan?" You asked, your voice returning. "I'm not sure," Draco said shoving a forkful in his mouth. "That's weird." You said looking down at your plate. "If you guys are wanting to, we could all go to my room and get ready for the ball, since I don't have a roommate." You thought for a second, "Draco you can even invite your date." You smiled at him. "You'll be there already so I can't really invite you." You gave him a puzzled look which made him laugh. "I wasn't going to tell you but I had Axel ask you for me, I was going to show up in his place because you wouldn't talk to me. Axel is with some Hufflepuff at the moment but I didn't want to let on." You kicked him under the table a little harder than intended. "Ouch!" He yelled, "I'm so mad at you but that was very smart." You said giggling. Everyone else laughed and it felt good to hear it.

After lunch, the group went to their respective dorms to get their things and met you at your room. "Okay guys, first official group meeting since we are all back together." You said letting them all in. "We have to look awesome and fearless. We have a huge meeting tonight that we all have to show up to. We cannot look divided, okay? I'm sorry for ghosting these past few weeks but I'm back now and it's time to kick ass." You gave a devilish grin to everyone making everyone laugh. "Now let's get ready!"

It was around 8 when you all finished getting ready. It was you and Draco, Pansy and Blaise, Ansel and a girl named Victoria, and a couple of others that shadowed. When you all walked down the stairs everyone stopped and stared like it was a movie scene. You blushed and grabbed Draco's hand letting him lead you down the stairs. Once your feet met the floor everyone watched as the group entered the ball room and took their places in the back watching everyone.
