Melia ran with Ron and Hermione to the chamber of secrets to get a basilisk fang. Melia thought she would do better there than following Harry. They got to the door and she opened it up. They looked at her with wide eyes but didn't dare ask. They went inside and saw the skeleton of the basilisk lying there. Ron moved forward and grabbed two fangs. He gave one to Melia and Hermione laid down the Hufflepuff cup they had gotten at Bellatrix' vault. Hermione reaches out, her hand trembling, and takes the fang from his fingers. She raises her arm-- still as glass for a moment-- then hits the cup. It flies towards the water and Melia falls to the ground in pain. She gasps for air as the pain in her neck is almost unbearable.
A wave of water rushes towards Ron and Hermione, stops for a second before washing over them. They stand, utterly still, as the water runs off their bodies and pools at their feet. For a moment, they stay like that, unmoving, as if amazed to have survived, then their eyes find each other. They close the space between them and kiss. They move in sync as they were made for this moment. Melia gets up from the ground, taking the fang up from the floor and stutters towards them.
"As cute as that was, we have something more important to do now," they nod their heads at her and start going towards the door. Melia stays behind a little trying to catch her breath before following them. They went towards the room of requirements because Harry vanished from the map and Ron thought that's where he would go. They went inside and Melia split from the others. She felt something pulling her towards another part of the room. She could hear some voices as she rounded a big pile of chairs.
"Why didn't you tell her? Bellatrix. You knew it was me. But you didn't say anything."
"Because I told him not to."
"Melia!" she kisses Draco's cheek and moves to stand beside Harry, but Draco grabs her arm as Goyle suddenly casts the killing curse at him. Instead of hitting Harry it hits the diadem and sends it flying up into the pile of scrap. Ron runs after Goyle with Blaise, Draco and Melia on his heels. She was going to go with the trio, but Draco kept a strong hold on her wrist. Goyle casts a fire spell that he's not able to control and the fire starts spreading fast. They begin climbing the pile of scrap in a fast paste, but Goyle loses his grip and falls into the fire. "Goyle!" They all shout in unison. They start climbing faster until they arrive at the top, standing on a table. The table starts shaking and they have to grab the side of it, hanging from the side.
"Draco--"
"We'll get out of this... somehow," then the trio suddenly comes flying past them. Melia locks eyes with Hermione pleading for her to get them out of here. They fly back and Harry grabs Draco, Ron grabs Blaise while Hermione grabs Melia. The instant Melia's foot leaves the mountain of junk, it collapses into a big cloud of ash. They fly out and crash into the floor. As Hermione rolls over, the diadem spins madly on the ground. Harry snatches it quickly as if it might run away and Hermione tosses him the basilisk fang. He stares down at the smoking diadem and briefly pauses. Then, without hesitation, he drives the fang into the blackened crown.
Harry grimaces in agony and roars with pain, the veins at his temple throbbing, his knuckles turning white as he grips the basilisk fang. The fang crumbles in Harry's fist and he stares towards the ceiling, gasps desperately, purging himself of the pain. He looks down, regarding the diadem with a kind of mournful horror, then Ron kicks it back into the room of requirement, where it explodes in a vortex of flames and the room reseals itself. Melia hisses in pain and Draco runs over to her, caressing her in his lap. She tries to block her mind as something is trying to enter it. After some time, she's back again and looks into her lover's stormy grey eyes. She touches his cheek and he leans into her touch before leaning down, kissing her hard. Then Hermione grabs her hand and hauls her up from the floor, "As cute as that was, we have something more important to do now," she says with a small smirk. Melia rolls her eyes and follows her.
They ran towards the boathouse, but on the way, Melia saw something happening in one of the halls. The trio continues running, not seeing her stop. She saw a young Slytherin girl duelling a Death Eater. He points his wand at the girl and shouts one of the unforgivable curses. "Nooo!" but she's too late. The spell had already left the Death Eaters wand. Melia's eyes started glowing and green light mixed with dark blue flowed around her and through every Death Eater in the hall. As the light went through the Death Eaters, they exploded into a million dust particles. Their wands clashing down on the stone floor. As the light went back to the owner, she fell onto the stone floor, crawling towards the young girl who was lying on the cold floor with much less energy than before and a broken heart. She cradled the girl and pushed her short black hair away from her face. Her eyes were open and looked into nothingness, fresh tears still running down her face. She closed her eyes and wiped away her tears, her sobs filling the hall.
The other students who were duelling with the Death Eaters that were there earlier moved closer to the two girls. A Gryffindor fourth year sat down beside Melia and put her head on her shoulder while rubbing circles on her back. The other students in the hall followed the young student and did the same. People from all the houses; Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. They don't know how long they sat there, but after a while, two Professors came and took the young girl to the Great Hall. Melia wouldn't let the Professors touch her and lifted her up. She followed them in there but got stopped by Draco on the way.
"Melia! I was so worried!" he looks down at the young girl in her arms and recognizes her. His breath starts to hitch, "Is that-- no it can't be--"
Melia just walked past him and placed her down on the ground, putting a blanket around her. Draco kneeled down and hugged Melia as more sobs escaped her lungs, "I tried. I really tried, but I was too late. She died right in front of me--" the young couple looked like a sobbing mess where they sat, just looking at the young girl they loved so much. Both of them had loved her so much and felt like she was almost their child.
She was their light and that light just got extinguished. The couple would no longer be able to listen to her soft laughs and see her smile as she walks into a room where the couple would be sitting, hugging them hard and telling them how much she loves them. That would end now. Because the young girl was no longer here.
Rosie was lying lifeless in front of them... I'm so sorry I couldn't save you.
