Be My Hero

Chapter 31

Song of the Chapter : Control by Halsey

Hero's POV

       It's a little over a month into seventh year. Every day I wake up thinking it's the day The Dark Lord is going to make a move. But so far everything has been silent. Draco hasn't heard anything from his father and the front doors of Hogwarts are still intact.

       "Draco we're going to be late again!" I giggle while he kisses down my neck.

                       "Let's just skip, they won't miss us."

         I roll my eyes and push him off slowly. "Amycus won't hesitate to give us both detention."

        Draco sighs. "Okay Okay." He grabs my hand and we turn the corner. When we get to the door Amycus is standing waiting impatiently.

            "Late again, Mr. Malfoy and Miss Green."

         We look at each other then back at Amycus. Out of the corner of my eye I see Draco trying not to laugh. I nudge his arm aggressively and he lets out a chuckle.

                  "Detention for both of you." Amycus growls.

         He walks back into class and we follow behind. Daphne is sitting at our table already. I take a seat and I feel her eyes on me.

                   "Where were you?" She whispers.

       I run my hand through my hair and sigh. Her eyes get wide. "Is that a love bite on your neck?"

               I quickly cover up with my robe. "Oh Merlin, I told him not to do that!"

       Daphne gives Draco and glare and he looks at me confused. Before I can mouth words back to him I feel something smack my hand.

           "Why is it that you are always turned around, Miss Green?"

         Amycus' wand stings my hand. I pull away and look up angrily.

                 "Snape would be disappointed in you." He hisses.

         Without thinking I stand up and look him dead in the eyes. Amycus points his wand at my face trying to make me nervous but I don't budge.

        Even though I know I shouldn't, I can't help myself. I open my mouth to speak.

               "You will never be the teacher he was."

Draco's POV

         Sit down, Hero.

       Her mouth opens to speak and I feel my jaw clench.

               Sit down, please.

        "You will never be the teacher he was."

      The entire room is silent. Amycus' face turns bright red. I wait for his mouth to open and when it does I'm terrified by the word that comes out.

                 "Crucio."

         Hero falls to the ground screaming. My chair slams into the wall behind me as I race to the front of the room. I fall to the ground beside her.

              "Stop it!" I shout.

        Amycus stares down unamused.

       "You fucking prick, stop it! You're hurting her!"
