CHAPTER 59: saved
"You've changed, Melia!" Draco shouted at his girlfriend. They had come back to the manor after Camellia was more needed there than at Hogwarts. She could have graduated long ago if it hadn't been for Dumbledore's promise to her parents, so she didn't miss much by leaving. "You're not yourself."
"I feel more like myself than I have ever done since I came here!"
"No! You were you when you came here. Now you're just a pawn in his game! Melia, what have you been doing the past few months? You've tortured, killed and made people fear you! This is never what you wanted--"
"It was! Because of this, I don't have to go through any more pain. Do you know how it feels to be tortured for a month without any break? No! The only way I could survive and make me not go through it again was by doing this."
"You actually believe that? This is the easy way out, Melia!"
"Easy?! Easy?! Do you think this is easy? That my life is easy?"
"That's not what I meant--"
"I need some air," she starts walking out, smashing the door closed behind her. She walks towards the library. She goes in and flops down on the sofa and rubs her temples feeling a headache coming. She looks up again and goes towards the hidden books in the corner. She drags a finger across their back before taking out Lord of the Rings. She opens it and sees something on the first page. Someone had written something a long time ago.
'This book will always be our start. I will always be remembered of you when I see or hear about this book. And this is the token of our love.'

"What could be so important that you had to take me away from the mission? I don't think Blaise and Theo have the stomach to actually finish them off--"
"Camellia," Lucius hisses in a low voice and gestures towards what is happening in front of her.
"Oh, we have company. Isn't Bella skilled enough to finish the job?" Bellatrix growls at Camellia while she walks to where Narcissa is standing. Her face almost falls as she turns around and sees the trio standing there. She locks eyes with Hermione who looks terrified at her. She's not able to listen to anything of the conversation and keeps her eyes locked with Hermione. It's almost like they are in a trans. Her head then suddenly shots up as Bellatrix uses different spells on the Snatchers that brought them in.
"Where did you get this sword?! Was it you dearie?" Bellatrix moves towards Hermione, her wand pointing at her neck. Hermione shakes her head no, "No?! Then how come you have it?"
"Because I gave it to them," Draco nudges her side. "I stole the sword from your vault."
Bellatrix moves closer to Camellia, "How?"
"Your vault is right under mine. Getting into it wasn't that hard--"
"When? You have always been here--"
"No, I haven't. Don't you remember that day a few months back when no one knew where I was," Bellatrix furrows her brows, trying to think about the events. Then she remembered that day. She had walked around the house and couldn't find her. Just Draco all alone in his room. "That's where I went."
Bellatrix grabs Melia by her hair and throws her on the ground. She lets out a small gasp. Draco tries to move forward, but Narcissa holds him back. Hermione is just standing there, watching. For the first time, she doesn't know what to do. The boys stand a little behind and try to think of what to do too, but can't take their eyes off Melia either. Bellatrix takes out her wand and points it at Melia. As she had almost gotten up, Bellatrix shouts out the curse Melia feared the most and she falls down with a scream. She tries to hold it in, but the feeling of the curse on her body was too much. It was even worse than she remembered.
Her screams suddenly stopped, but Bellatrix kept using the spell. She thought she had only destroyed her voice again, which pleased her. Melia's eyes started glowing and a dark blue light flowed around her. She gets up from the floor slowly and Bellatrix stares at her with a terrified look. She swayed a little and tried to get back her balance. After a few seconds, she did and smirked at Bellatrix before screaming as loud as she could. The dark blue light moved around in what looked like a graceful dance and her hair was flowing around her. She looked horrifying yet beautiful. All the windows in the room broke and everyone except the trio was thrown back.
Lucius got up fast after her screams stopped, but Harry got his wand and stunned him. Melia pointed at the cellar and Ron ran down there. He came back a few moments later with Luna, Ollivander, Griphook and Dobby. Melia began to feel a sudden pain in her head. It felt like something was pounding inside her head. She stumbled into Hermione who caught her. As they made themselves ready to apparate away, Bellatrix got up from the floor and threw a knife at them. It joined them in the apparation and the last thing Melia saw before they apparated was Draco's warm smile. He was finally able to see her saved from herself.
Melia looks up into the sky. She had landed a few meters away from the others. It's so calming where she lies. She can hear the waves wash up against the shore and she can feel the wet sand underneath her. She turns around on her side slowly, watching the waves instead of just listening to them. She can hear someone approaching and shouting her name, but she's too out of it to acknowledge the person. I'm sorry I just left you, Draco. But if I were to do it again, I would. For Hermione-- Ron-- Harry. I couldn't bear watching Hermione getting tortured. This choice was the best one I have made in the past few months. I've done too much evil. Killed, tortured. I deserved this and the best part is, I got to save my best friend from my pain...
