(Heavy editing)!A best friends to lovers story about an orphan taken in by the Malfoys and a nervous pure blood wizard that no one saw potential in. Happily ever after isn't as easy as these two young Hogwarts students thought, and with Voldemort re...
"What was that about?" Ron asks. "What do you mean?" "I mean you and Draco being all chummy." Ron says. "I don't know what you mean." I say. He just shrugs and focuses on running toward where we might find Hermione and Harry.
We are walking through the department of Mysteries. We rush to keep up with Harry.
"He should be here, he was right here I'm sure of it." Harry exclaims. "Maybe they moved him?" Hermione asks "No NO HE WAS RIGHT HERE." Harry yells. "Harry quiet down, maybe we should go, I have a really bad feeling about this." I say. "Harry, this has your name on it." Ron says pointing to an orb. Harry picks it up and looks deep into it. "HARRY!" Hermione yells as we see a death eater approaching us.
"Where is Sirius?" Harry demands. "Surely you know the difference between dreams." He reveals his face to be Lucius Malfoy. "And reality. You saw only what the Dark lord wanted you to see, or at least what she wanted you to see." He says "If you come any closer I'll break it!" Harry yells while lifting the Prophecy into the air. "HE KNOWS HOW TO PLAY!" a woman laughs from behind Lucious. "Bellatrix." I say angrily. "Oh Neville! How's mom and dad?" She asks while giggling "Better now that I'm going to kill you!" I yell. I feel Harry hold me back. I see someone hold back Bellatrix but it's too dark to see who it is. "No Bella, you might hit the prophecy!" Serenity yells. I see as she comes further into the light lifting her wand towards us like Lucius and Bellatrix, pure guilt painted on her face.
"Go on Serenity tell him." Lucius says gently pushing her closer to us. I tighten my grip on my wand. "Harry." She says. "Harry please give me the Prophecy." She gently offers her hand. "It can help both of us. Don't you want to know more about your past? More about your scar?" She desperately pleas. I feel more death eaters closing in on us from all sides now, and I know she sees it as well. "Please Harry." She begs "I knew it all along. You were one of them. How could you?" He asks. "Harry, the Prophecy GIVE IT HERE!" She yells with tears in her eyes. "NOW!" Harry yells "STUPEFY!" We all say, aiming towards the death eaters surrounding us. We all break into a sprint and I look back at Serenity standing there motionless, slowly lowering her hand. Tears dripping to the floor.
"Serenity come with us!" I yell. She just turns and runs the other way.
It's chaos now as we are all running in different directions. We finally find each other. "REDUCTO!" Ginny yells in the direction of a large group of death eaters. All the shelves start falling inwards toward us. I grab Lunas hand and we run towards the door.
An empty archway is all we see in the big room we are now in. "Do you hear those voices?" Harry asks "There are no voices, now let's get out of here." Hermione begs. But Harry just keeps walking towards the archway. I hear cracks of apparation. "Get behind me!" Harry yells, but it's too late. The death eaters grab all of us. Bellatrix has her wand to my throat I look around to see all my friends in around the same position all surrounding Harry in the middle. Lucius and Serenity walk towards him.

"You really thought you could win... against us?" Lucius says motioning towards all his death eater friends holding us hostage. Serenity looks around the room and makes eye contact with me. "Dont do anything stupid." I hear her voice in my head. "I love you Nev." I hear her say again. I look at her and I see tears streaming down her cheeks. I nod and she looks away towards Harry again. "Please Harry, please." She begs. "I'm not giving anything to the likes of you!" Harry yells at her. "I thought you said the boy trusted you!?" Lucius yells while gripping the hair on the top of her head and pulling it hard. "No." I accidentally say. Serenity looks at me with Horror in her eyes.
"Oh I see, we send you to get close to Potter and you end up with the friend. You are an incompetent piece of work." Lucius says letting go of her hair just so he can smack her across the cheek. She falls to the ground quickly. "No Mr Malfoy, it's not like that I Promise." She begs. He points his wand towards her.
"CRUCIO."
Her screams fill the room. I've never heard such pain and it reminds me of how my parents had to endure this pain as well. The love of my life was now screaming at the top of her lungs In pain and I was standing there doing absolutely nothing. He pulls his wand away. "You have to tell Harry not to give it to him, ok?" I hear her voice in my head again.
I look to see Harry trying to figure out what to do. He looks at Serenity in horror. "Please Harry. Give it to us." Serenity croaks "No Harry don't do it!" I yell. Tears staining my cheeks. Harry looks down at Serenity again. "Please." She begs. Harry agrees and slowly hands the Prophecy to Lucious. Just then a flash of white light comes. "Get away from my god son." Sirius Black says as he punches the lights out of Lucious. The prophecy falls and breaks. The order members enter the room and begin fighting off the death eaters.
The moment I'm freed I run to Serenity's side. I lift her into my lap and I see she is smiling up at me. "Thanks Neville, you are such a brave wolf." She says. "Cmon Ren, you have to get up ok." I say "Wow so pushy." She smirks. I stand her up and we just nearly dodge a spell shot at us. "Neville darling, you have to leave me ok?" She says holding my face. "What!?! No!" I say. She looks in the direction of Tonks and Luna. Luna nods at her and I know that Serenity had told her something through Telepathy. Luna and Tonks make there way over to me and grab my arms and start to pull me away. "No wait SERENITY!" I yell. "Let go of me!! SERENITY!" but it's no use, they are stronger than me. "I LOVE YOU!" I yell to her.
