I walked briskly through the halls of Hogwarts, I had just finished my final class of the day, potions, I loved potions, what I didn't love was Malfoy mocking me and making fun of my friends. I could handle him being ignorant, but plain rude, that I couldn't tolerate. I huffed before knocking on the door to Ravenclaw tower, the eagle looked down at me before speaking,
"A man dies of old age on his 25th birthday, how is this possible?" I rose a brow as I smirked, I shook my head before straightening my back and giving the eagle the answer.
"Easy, he was born February 29." The door opened and I walked in, I went straight to my dorm and threw my bag onto my bed, I quickly got changed out of my school uniform and into my hero outfit. I grabbed my wand and tucked it away before I pulled my mask on over my eyes, I then snapped my fingers and teleported to the cave. I landed right in between Jaime and Bart, I huffed at that before apologizing and walking away from them, I strode over to where Robin was sitting working at a computer, I started helping him solve the cases that he had. Robin often would get my help on them due to me being a brilliant and bright person, and because I enjoyed puzzles and liked to think outside the box, there's a reason I'm in Ravenclaw. I continued pointing out different hints and clues to help solve the case before I heard Nightwing call us over. We all walked over as he brought up an image of Malfoy, I furrowed my brows at this and at the same time tensed.
"This, is Draco Malfoy, we got a call from his school's headmaster saying that he went missing mere minutes after his final class, all that they could find was a note addressed to them informing them that if they wanted Draco Malfoy to return unharmed that they had to call our team and have us send Eagle to this location." He brought up a map that had a red blinker over a forest. I huffed before nodding my head, Jaime immediately spoke up and shook his head, waving his arms around.
"Woah, woah, woah! We're just sending her in, on her own! No back up!?!?? Hermano, that is a bad idea! What if it's a trap?!?" I huffed and rolled my eyes before placing a hand on Jaime's shoulder.
"I'll be fine Blue, I promise. The odds of them planning to hurt me are very low, if they wanted to hurt me they would've taken someone else, not Malfoy." This resulted in raised brows from the entire team, I ignored them though and looked at the location on the map, I closed my eyes and imagined myself there. I opened my eyes to see I had teleported right in front of Malfoy's captors. I smirked at that, his captors were just some lowlife criminals, the only problem was that they were Wizards.
"So, you came. I'll send the boy back unharmed if you give me the location of Valory (L/N)." I rose a brow at that, before shrugging. I stood up straight and just waved my hand dismissively.
"Valory (L/N)? Her location is easy enough, she's in the ground, dead. She died last year in the summer and left her child (Y/N) (L/N) all alone and orphaned, Valory's husband, Jackson (L/N), had died three years earlier. Now, you have her location, so, let the boy go." The man laughed before shaking his head.
"No, I'm afraid you haven't given me her location, I want to know where she is buried." I rose a brow and just shrugged.
"Nobody knows, the only person who knew that was Albus Dumbledore, so you have the wrong person if you want that information." I smirked at the frustration that crossed their faces, the men all drew their wands and started firing spell after spell at me. I dodged each of them and tried to disarm them, I couldn't use any magic thanks to the trace that the Ministry had on me. I huffed and knew I wouldn't be able to last too long before I had to use magic, I was relieved when I saw a familiar blue wave of energy knock a few men down, but I also grew slightly annoyed that Jaime had tracked me down. He and I worked together to take the men down and then bring Malfoy back to Hogwarts, Jaime stared at the castle in awe and I chuckled at his expression before bringing Malfoy to Dumbledore.
"Headmaster, Draco Malfoy is unharmed and here. The men shouldn't bother you, my partner Blue Beetle locked the Wizards up and then sent word to Azkaban about them. I thought that you may want to know though, they were looking for the location of Valory (L/N)'s graveside." Dumbledore stroked his beard and seemed lost in thought, I turned to leave alongside Jaime when we were stopped by Dumbledore.
"Miss Eagle, Valory was never buried, her body held too much magic to be simply buried, she asked to be cremated, so that no dark Wizard or Witch would find her body and suck out the magic within it." I took this in before nodding, I resumed my brisk pace out of Hogwarts, Jaime flying to keep up with me. I kept my pace and did my best to get us out quick before we were stopped by either The Golden Trio, or the Weasley twins. I was relieved when we made it out without running into either of those groups. I looked up at the sky before looking at Jaime, I sighed before gesturing to the Forbidden Forest, Jaime nodded and picked me up, he flew us to the forest and then set me down.
"Why, why did you follow me? I'm grateful for the help don't get me wrong, but I don't appreciate you following me secretly, especially when I explicitly told you not to follow me." I waved my hands around and huffed as I flopped down and sat in the grass, I stared into the forest and watched as I saw the centaurs run by and chase after one of the spiders. Jaime seemed uneasy by the forest but he seemed to be pushing it aside to be there for me.
"I followed you because I was worried, you seemed to know this Malfoy kid, almost like he was a bully of some sort to you, and when they said that they wanted you and you only, I feared the worst. I know you're tough, really tough, and you're strong, courageous, brave, wise, and incredibly smart! But, I can't help but worry for you, especially since none of us know you outside the mask, except maybe Robin and Nightwing but even they don't fully know you, I worry for you because I don't know if you are able to freeze up, and if you can, what triggers it! It worries me, not knowing how to help you, if I can keep you safe, all of it worries me! I care about you, and I want to keep you safe, but how can I when you don't let any of us in!" Jaime continued to rant on and on, it started to turn into a ramble, and he started to slip into his native tongue, but I smiled slightly, I stood up and placed a hand on Jaime's cheek turning him to look at me. I slowly reached up with my other hand and removed my mask, I watched as shock and admiration flickered in his eyes, he armored down and smiled at me.
"(Y/N), my name is (Y/N) (L/N). I care about you too Jaime, it's part of why I never revealed who I was to the team, why I tried to keep my identity hidden. I'm a Witch, and since I attend Hogwarts as a half-blood who doesn't believe in blood purity, I run the risk of being killed by those who do. There's a war going on in this world, and I can't drag you all into it. So, please, please, try and keep your distance from me when I am on missions relating to the magical community." I slid my hand down and cupped his jaw, he leaned into my hand slightly, closing his eyes, and sighed, his eyes slowly fluttered open before he nodded.
"Ok, I will, but if you're in danger I'm coming to save you, (Y/N)." I smiled and shook my head chuckling. He smiled back and then leaned forward and rested his forehead against mine, our breaths mingling as we smiled at the other.I shot spell after spell at the invading Death Eaters, I spun out of the way of a killing curse before I teleported up into the rafters and shot stunning spells at some of the Death Eaters. I dropped down when I noticed them start to Disapparate and leave. I looked around and brushed some of the sweat off my forehead, I noticed some celebrating our win and others were mourning for those we had lost. I slowly walked outside into the courtyard and I prepared to send a Patronus to my boyfriend when I was suddenly lifted up into a hug and spun around, I turned around in the hug to see Jaime, I smiled and hugged him back tightly. I started shaking as the reality set in, my headmaster had died last year, many of my classmates had been killed, and so many kids lost their innocence to war and blood. Jaime held me tight and rubbed my back comfortingly, I heard him whispering to me in Spanish to soothe me, I may not have understood Spanish given that I only knew English and Latin, but I still felt calm at hearing his soothing voice. I clung to him as I sobbed, I was slowly calming down but I knew I wouldn't recover from this event fully. I knew that this was something Jaime had wanted to protect me from, but it wasn't something that he could protect me from. But I knew that I was safe in his arms right now, I was able to enjoy this refuge for just a little longer, soon I would need to go back and help everyone clear the rubble and account for the dead, but right now, I was going to relish in my boyfriend's safe and comforting arms.
