Good Boy Gone Bad

Danger Ahead

Rivers's POV

I watch Mark faceplant into the ground and my eyes go wide. "Mark!" I kneel down and shake him gently. He doesn't wake and I start to panick. "Somebody help!" I look around and there is no one to be found. We're completely alone. I shake Mark harder and he still won't wake up. That's when I remember my wand. I pull it out and point it at Mark. "Aguamenti!"

Water squirts all over Mark and his eyes open. He moans and sits up. "What happened?"

"A bludger hit you hard again. What in the world is up with that thing?"

Mark rubs his head. "Maybe it's been cursed."

"Yeah possibly." I frown slightly thinking of all the damage it could have done to him if I wasn't here. "You're lucky I was here."

"Good thing otherwise it could have been worse."

I help him stand up. "Come on lets get you out of here."

We start to walk when we hear a scream coming from the Forbidden Forest. I look at Mark and he looks back at me. Without a second to lose we both start running there. I stop suddenly when I see a black mist hovering over another girl. My eyes go wide and I feel Mark run into me.

He sees her and the mist. "Oh my god Larah!"

We both stare not sure what to do. The mist completely covers her before dissolving into nothing. The girl Mark called Larah is no longer there.  Where did she go? I look back at Mark again. A tear slides out of his eyes. "Larah!"

He runs to the spot where she was and gets on his hands and knees. I feel really bad for him. She just vanished into thin air. "Mark we should go tell Professor Dumbledore. He can help."

I watch him sit there and cry. Oh no this is worse than I thought. I grab his hand pulling him up and start dragging him back towards the castle.

Mark's POV

I can't stop crying into Rivers's shoulder. I let her drag me still thinking of Larah. I want her back. Oh god I love her. I feel my feet going up stairs and led through a door. "Professor?" I hear Rivers say. They both talk and I drop on to the floor curling myself into a ball.

"Larah come back," I mutter to myself.

I feel myself getting pulled up again and sink into something soft. My eyes close and I drift off.

Dream:

I find myself in a graveyard and I move to sit up but something holds me back. I look up to see a death eater holding me down. I struggle against his hold but his grip just gets tighter. I hear a cry nearby and I look around to see a death eater pointing his wand at Larah. I gasp. "No!"

"Be quiet," the death eater holding me growls in my ear. I don't care and shout out again. "Don't hurt her!"

Someone calls out "Crucio!" A shock of pain runs through my body and I wriggle around crying out in pain.

"Mark!" I hear. "Stop hurting him!"

The pain finally stops and I hear a voice in my head. "Wake up!"

Huh? Wake up? I'm confused and I can feel the grip on me get even tighter. I can barely breathe. "Mark wake up!" God this voice is so annoying.

I try to speak up but then I can feel someone shaking me.

My eyes open and I see Rivers shaking me awake. "R-R-Rivers?" I croak out.

"Mark are you okay? You were shouting and moving around."

I sit up on the couch that I'm on remembering the dream. "Oh god they have her!"

"What? You're not making any sense."

"Death eaters. They have Larah." My hands shake and I start tearing up again. "We have to find her."

"Professor Dumbledore is looking for her. She'll be okay I promise," Rivers tells me.

"She's not okay! They're torturing her. I need to find her now." I stand and wobble a little nearly falling again.

Rivers pushes me back down. "Professor Dumbledore said the Order will take care of it. You need to rest."

"I can't rest knowing she's out there somewhere! Let me go."

"No Mark. You can't. Someone will find Larah."

I bury my head in my hands and cry again. "Oh Larah."
