Chapter 10

Snape killed Dumbledore and Draco is gone with the death eaters. Harry is devastated. I am too but not exactly for the same reason. I feel sick to my stomach every single second of every single day. Harry thinks it is because of Dumbledore for he too is very upset. I am very sad about the headmasters death but my heart aches for another. I just want to know if he is alright. If he is ok. I need to know. 

Harry and I have convinced the Dursley's to go into hiding for their safety and their house is completely empty which seems very strange. I know that as soon as they walked out that door I would never see them again. It seems strange because I have spent my life trying to get away from them and now that they are gone it almost seems...unnatural.  

There is a knock on the door and many people from the order walk one of them being moody. Hermione, Ron, Fluer, Remus, Tonks, and a few others I don't recognize.

Soon we are in the air on brooms. Since I clearly it doesn't matter if I live or die I get to stay me for the journey over to the Weasley's. There are multiple of my brother which is quite freaky I might add. One of him was plenty. 

The air feels nice on my skin seeing as I haven't gotten out much lately. I haven't actually really come out of my room since school. I can't stop thinking about a certain blonde. 

It isn't long before the death eaters fly in on brooms including Voldemort himself. Even though I am technically underage for a few more days we were given permission to use spells in case of an attack. 

The group now broke apart and dispersed leaving me alone with three death eaters trailing me. I am quite skilled on a broom so I weave around muggle buildings and cars with ease. I through a stunning spell at one of my pursuers and hit him square in the chest. He flies backward off his broom and disappears into the night. 

The two that are left close in on me. "REVLIO!" I shout at the one closest on my right. As his mask peels away his face is as shocked as mine. Draco. He looks at me, terrified. I try and mask my surprise when the other death eater closes in on me so he doesn't notice. 

The masked death eater fires a jinx at me. It hits me square in the face. I feel one side of my face swell and when I bring my hand to my cheek there is blood. The man raises his wand again but Draco is faster he fires a shot and the death eater falls into oncoming traffic. 

I turn back with shock and look into Draco's rigid face. His grey eyes are drowning in terror. I gulp. He reaches his hand out and touches my face gently. I lean into his soft touch ever so slightly. I can only see out of one eye for the blood is pouring steadily now, but I can make out his face. It seems as though the world pauses for us. "I know." He says. Before I know it he is gone faster then he came and my cheek is cold once again. 

I fly quickly to the safe house and am lucky enough not to run into anymore trouble before I crash my broom into the field. Nearly everyone is back when I get inside. 

"Kelli! We were all so worried when you didn't come back with Remus and the others! Oh look at your face!" Molly says embracing me into a suffocating hug. "We got separated right away." I say. She brings me a warm towel that I press to my stinging eye. 

"Mad-eye is dead." Bill says, stepping up. Everyone looks down quietly. I didn't know him for that long, but everyone knew he was a fighter willing to die for a cause he believed in. I truly envied that man for his honorable intentions. 

Everyone sulks over Mad-eyes death, but I rejoice over life for I know that my person is still alive. He is breathing and living, with that I am ok.
