Wayward Girls

Chapter Fourteen

Draco and Abi finally dump the last bit of Umbridge's commandments when the group arrives back. Everyone looks like a wreck. Harry and Belle are taken straight to the Hospital Wing with some of the members of the Order. One person they went to save, Sirius, isn't among them. Ginny grabs Abi and Draco, pulling them off. Once the three is somewhere empty, Ginny lets them go.

"What happened?" the Slytherin girl asks.

"Bellatrix killed Sirius," Ginny states. "Also the Minister saw Voldemort. Your father was also there, Malfoy."

"I can't always stop my family," Draco tells her. "But trust me, I will do what it takes to protect Abi."

"I believe you. That's why I want you two to leave. Go into hiding. I'll deal with our parents."

"No," Abi snaps. "I'm not leaving our family. Plus everyone knows about the war now. There is no escaping it."

"Jas can set you up to stay at Camp Half-blood. Or the Twenty-First Nome."

Draco looks at Abi, debating on what to say.

"I will protect her no matter the decision," he repeats. "Even if it means faking an allegiance with the Dark Lord."

Jas sits with Harry as he packs. She is unsure what to say. For being the daughter of the king of the dead, she sucks at comforting people.

"You know, you mentioned Luke," he says. Must be trying to distract himself. "Why?"

"I don't know," she answers honestly. "See, I died after my mother was arrested for false accusation as a spy for the Soviet Union. When I came back to life, Scarlette and Luke were there for me."

"Scarlette?"

"Luke's wife. My adoptive mother. She was the daughter of Nemesis and a bad ass in her own right. Well I followed them, my family."

"What happened to Scarlette?"

She lets out a shaky breath.

"Jumped in front of a blade, saving my life."

"You still feel the pain of it."

"Of course. That pain is not just guilt, but also a reminder of the love I had for her."

There is a knock on the door. Belle, C, and Abi are there, waiting with Ron and Hermione. Harry grabs his girlfriend's hand.

"Let's get going," he smirks. "At this rate, we'll see how they move our trunks."

C snorts and the group leave. They follow the crowd. Once outside, Draco slings his arm over Abi's shoulder. Harry copies the motion, pulling Belle closer to him.

"I suggest you keep an eye on Draco," C laughs. "Cause Ron still looks like he wants to cut his arm off."

"He has an arm on my sister," Ron responds. "Of course I do."

"Oh shove it," Abi laughs. The two Slytherins go off ahead of them. 

"You know, we're lucky," Harry states.

"How so?" C asks.

"We all have the ability to feel love and sorrow. Voldemort can't, and I pity him for it."

He leans his head over and kisses Belle. Jas smiles, knowing he got her small lesson.

"You okay?" the Gryffindor asks.

"Yeah. I just need appreciate the love I have, even if they passed away."

He goes to properly kiss her this time. C and Jas takes it as a cue to leave, taking Ron and Hermione with them. Voldemort has no clue the trouble coming for him. No one can predict the force this group can cause. The trouble that will follow.
