Collision Course

Chapter Thirty Seven

I looked at my wrist as I went racing through the school's corridors.

8 minutes left.

I kept an eye out searching for Astoria and Draco.

,

Racing down two flights of magical stairs, I made it to the Slytherin common room. Bursting into the room, I did a scan for the duo.

They weren't there.

"Where are Draco and Astoria?" I gasped, out of breath.

One of the boys from the true seventh year walked over, and I struggled to remember his name.

"And why should we tell you?" He asked. "Because your of godly descent?! Should we bow down and worship you too? Would that make you feel better?!"

I gaped.

Did they really take it that way?

"No. Not at all. But, instead, because my friends are in trouble and everyone here is a good person."

He frowned. "What ever you say, little-miss-almighty." He sneered at me.

I looked at him still reeling for breath.

"Please help me." I begged.

Another person walked over. This time, it was a fifth year girl.

"Draco's out with Astoria. I think they're outside. Don't tell any adults though- they snuck out." She said.

I nodded. "Thank you so much."

I then turned and ran out, almost as if Peeves was chasing me.

For all I know, he could have been.

The doors opened as I ran by, and with a burst of wind, my body burst out of the gap.

My feet pounded on the group like thunder, and my face was probably as red as a tomato.

I felt like lightning as I zipped down the dirt paths, my head darting to and fro searching for Draco and Astoria. Draco was the only one I knew that definitely had the 'demigod medicine' that might help. Either that or Astoria may know a way to fix them herself. But either way, I needed them and I needed them now.

And finally, I spotted them.

6 minutes left.

I raced towards them like a race car.

"Help!!" I yelled to them, trying to swallow more air. Astoria turned like there was a fire in her hair, and Draco was barely a millisecond behind.

"Tira, what's wrong?!" Astoria yelled.

They both came running.

"Lewis... The boys... Need help.... They had bad cupcakes.... Please help," I said panting, yet getting ready to turn back and sprint into the castle.

Draco nodded, and fingered something in his pocket, before Astoria nodded to him, and took off, holding Draco's hand, and my upper arm.

I went flying behind her.

5 minutes left.

We made it into the castle, and in mere moments were almost in the room of requirements, when we heard another person calling my name. Astoria immediately let go off my arm, and tugged Draco along faster. The poor boy was as red as a fire truck, and sweating like a pig.

I turned to find Neville Longbottom staring at me, with Luna by his side.

I smiled. "Hey, what's up?" my eyes darted around, ready to back and help Astoria and Draco.
