Chapter 7
Alex's P.O.V
I inhaled a sharp breath and say up. Cold sweat was dripping from every pore on my face.
Today was the day. I've been having multiple nightmares about today... all of them resulting in death.
I looked around the room and found everyone in my dorm still sleeping.
I quickly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom where I threw up like I have been for the past week. No, I am not pregnant. I'm just... insanely stressed out.
I got up from the cold stone floor and wobbled over to the sink. I splashed water on my and looked up into the mirror.
My skin was sickly pale and the bags under my eyes were dark.
Dylan's mission was taking a toll on me. What he had to do already put me on edge, but now he's really thrown me over the edge by becoming a spy...
I know that any normal person would just break up with him till the whole thing blew over, but I'm not that kind of person. Trust me, he has tried breaking up with me, but he can't get rid of me that easily.
I shook my head from my thoughts and walked over to my trunk. I grabbed a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, black combat boots, and a black and yellow Nirvana sweatshirt. Then I walked back into the bathroom and got dressed.
After that I walked down stairs and found Dylan already there. He was leaning against the back of the couch, facing the door the the girls dormitories.
"We are meeting Draco in the Room of Requirement," was all he said before we walked closely towards the Room of Requirement.
"Finally," Draco spat at us as we walked into the Room of Requirement.
"We are five minutes earlier then we agreed," Dylan said warningly.
They glared at each other for a few seconds before Draco turned his cold look to me.
"Here is the neckless," he said handing me a brown paper wrapped parcel. I looked at it apprehensively. "The curse only works if you touch it directly."
I bit down on my lip before gently taking the parcel.
"Now just use imperio on the first girl that walks into the bathroom, and have her take this to Dumbledore saying it needs to be opened right-"
"Draco I know the plan," I murmured. "I have been dreaming about it for the past week... I still can't believe you talked me into this..."
Isabella's P.O.V
"Bella, you almost ready?" Hermione asked me.
"Yup, just go to put on some lipstick," I mumbled, swiping a natural pink looking lipstick across my lips. "Done! Okay, let's go!"
"Finally!" she sighed.
We left the dorm and meet up with Ron and Harry in the common room.
"So, we're to?" I asked as we headed towards Hogsmade.
"The Three Broom Sticks and Honeydukes for Ron," Harry explained.
"Wow, what an original plan!" I exclaimed sarcastically.
"Oh, shut it you!" Ron huffed.
Once the four of us walked into Hogsmade, we headed straight to Honeydukes.
Ron automatically ran for the chocolate frogs, then grabbed some droobles, and picked up a handful of suger quills. I on the other hand just grabbed a box of chocolate frogs - so I could add a card to my collection - and walked on line.
So far I had three Dumbledores, a Slytherin, a Gryffindor, two Merlin, and four Circe.
"Can I help who's next in line?" the old lady who worked there called out.
"Oh, that'll be me," I said walking over to the counter.
She studied me closely before wringing up my chocolate frog.
"Your total will be 7 sickles," she told me. As I dug through my wallet for seven sickles, the woman continued to talk. "You know, the first time I saw you last year, I was shocked. Of course I didn't know who you were of course, but I was shocked about how much you resemble your mother... you two could be twins you know."
I blushed as I handed her my money. "Um, thanks..."
I took my chocolate frog and headed over to the front of the shop by the door, were Hermione and Harry were waiting for Ron and I to pay for our things.
"Is Ronald almost done?" Hermione asked impatiently.
"Yeah, he was behind me in line-"
"Okay," Ron said breathlessly, carring two bags. "Let's go to the Three Broom Sticks now."
"Damn, Ron," I chuckled. "Have a bit of a sweet tooth."
He gave me a look before we lefHoneydukes
"Harry ma' boy!" Professor Slughorn boomed. "Oh, hello Miss. Granger, Miss. Potter, and Mr. Weatherby."
Ron, rolling his eyes, threw a arm in the air then let it slap against his leg.
"Hello, Professor," Hermione and I greeted.
"Harry, you and your sister have missed three of my dinners," Slughorn said with a hing of disappointment. "Miss. Granger have been coming to the dinners, they love them."
Hermione said, "Yes, they are pretty great-"
But Harry cut her off. "Well, me and Bella have had Qudditch practice," Harry explained, "and we are the captains so we have to be there."
"Well, I certainly hope you win your first match after all this hard work!" Slughorn admitted. "But a little recreation never hurt any body. Now how about Monday night? You two can't possible want to practice in this weather-"
"I can't, Professor, I've got... er... an appointment with Professor Dumbledore that evening."
"Unlucky again!" Slughorn cried dramatically. "How about you Miss. Potter?"
"Uhh, I... er... I have to..." I mumbled, racking my brain for an lie. "I have a date!"
"A what?" Harry yelled.
"Yes, that's right, I've got a date... ha," I said awkwardly.
"Well, good for you, but bad for me," Slughorn sighed shaking his head. "Ahh, well... the two of you can't evade me forever!"
"I bet we can," I mumbled as he walked away.
"I can't believe you two wriggled out of another one," Hermione tusked, disapprovingly. "They're not that bad you know-"
"If I may ask, who may you have a date with?" Harry said a bit pissed off.
I shook my head, rolling my eyes at him. "Honestly, Harry. Are you just that thick?"
He finally realized I didn't have a date and looked a bit embarrassed. "Oh, sorry."
"Let's head to the Three Broomsticks," Ron suggested.
We all agreed and headed to the pub. After getting inside and letting a wave of heat slap me in the face, we got our own table. Hermione and I sat across from Ron and Harry.
No sooner did we sit down, did a waitress with pink hair and yellow eyes come up to us.
Whoa, major daja ou.
"Hello, name's Phenix, can I get you guys something to drink?" she asked opening her notepad.
"Four frozen butterbeers please," Hermione told her.
"Okay, I'll be right back," she told us before walking over to the bar.
Ron sighed, relaxing into his chair when his eyes wandered behind the space in between Hermione and I. His nose scrunched up, his ears went pink, and his expression became pissed.
"What's up, Ron?" I asked.
"Ginny and Dean are snogging in a both over there," Ron spat. "It's disgusting. Why do they have to do it in public? Though I don't quite like the sound of them being alone and snogging either. Why does she even have to smog him?"
"What's the big deal?" I asked. "I snogged your brother all the time in public."
"Yeah, I know," Ron grumbled. "Didn't you hear me yelling at you two to get a room?"
"No," I laughed.
He shook his head before he glared over at Dean and Ginny. "I need to get out of here."
Phenix came back and placed four mugs of butterbeer on our table before hurrying to tend another table.
"Oh come on, Ron," Hermione sighed gabbing a butterbeer. "Should you want Ginny to be hating on you if you and I were somehow snogging?"
I spit out my butterbeer all over Harry and his glasses, and Ron's ears went pink. I started wheezing and choking on the butterbeer I spat out.
"Bella, you okay?" Hermione asked patting my back.
I held my thumb up signaling I was good as I continued to cough loudly.
"I'm going to go to re bathroom," I told them once my coughing had some what stopped.
I got up from my chair and walked over to the bathroom. I opened the door and saw Katie Bell and Alex.
"Hey, guy- wait," I stopped myself realizing there was a lot more that I didn't see at the first glance.
Katie's eyes were dazed and she was holding a brown paper wrapped, thin box. Alex was next to her looking scared and vulnerable as she held her wand at Katie whispering imperio.
"Alex, what the hell are you doing," I barked.
She looked over at me, tears in her eyes. "I don't want to. I don't."
"Then don't."
"It has to be done," Alex whispered. "Then they'll stop threatening Dylan."
"Alex-"
"Petrificus Totalus," she casted pointing her wand at me.
My hands snapped to my sides, my legs collided, and my mouth shut. Then I lost balance and feel over.
"Imperio," she whispered to Katie, who walked out of the bathroom mechanically.
It was then Alex walked over to me and looked down at me.
"I'm so sorry," she cried. "I never wanted any part of this... I hope you'll forgive me for what I become one day. Obliviate."
***
"Ugh," I groaned getting up from the floor. "What the?"
Why am I on the floor of the a bathroom? God this is nasty.
I stood up and brushed myself off. After, I walked out of the bathroom and walked back to the table I was at before with The others were still there chatting away.
When did I go to the bathroom?
"Hey, Bella, you okay?" Hermione asked me as I sat down next to her. "You were I. there for a while... Is it that time or just number 2?"
I scrunched up my nose, "Neither."
"Oh," she said, giving me an odd look.
"Here's you check," Phenix said handing us a check book.
We all pulled out our wallets and payed for our own drinks.
Then we headed out, walking back to the carriages that'll take us back to Hogwarts.
"Katie, stop don't touch it!" a voice warned, worriedly. "You don't know what it is!"
Then the voice screamed and the four of us looked up ahead of us. There, being tossed around in mid-air, was Katie Bell.
"Oh my god!" I gasped running over to her.
She then stopped moving, but stayed mid-air, her arms spread out with a look of pure horror.
"Stop," Hagrid's voice told me. "Don' go near 'er."
"I told her not to touch it," said Katie's friend. "She came back from the bathroom with it saying she had to get it to Dumbledore."
Dylan's P.O.V.
"She touched the neckless," Draco told us drearily.
Alex's face dropped. Her eyes became dead and her face became a pale green.
"I'm going to be sick," Alex groaned.
I wrapped an arm around her, and pulled her close.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine-"
"No, Dylan!" Alex yelled looking up at me. "I killed a friend of mine! How would you feel if that happened!"
"She's not dead," Draco added.
"What?" Alex whispered.
"She only got cursed. She'll be in St. Mungo's for a while," Draco said.
"I'm going to be sick," Alex repeated, this time getting up and running out of the Room of Requirement.
"I'm going to go after her-" I started to say as I got up and headed towards the door.
"Dylan wait," Draco stopped me. "If your... still on the other side, and passing information... I would stop."
I turned around and looked at him. "Excuse me."
"Don't act dumb," Draco spat. "I watch you go up to Dumbledore's after everyone of our meetings."
I locked my jaw, but didn't change my blank expression. He sighed and his hard look softened.
"They'll kill you and her, or worse," he told me.
I glared at my cousin. "When have you given a shit about the two of us."
"I don't," he hissed, his hard look coming back. "I'm thinking about someone else."
"Oh yeah? Who would that be?" I taunted.
He continued his hard glare on me, before walking out of the room.
Who was this girlfriend of his that is turning him... soft?
~~~
Hey ya'll! How is all of you doing on this fine day? I am currently in Maryland, on a tree swing relaxing in my sweatshirt.
Sorry for the long wait, I went back to school, kill me.
Anyways, no one send me any chapter heads :( I mean I can easily make them myself as you can see above, but still I like to see everyone else's. Just send them to me through messaging or through kik {livie18Licini}.
In other means, check out my other book. It's a Fred Weasley love story so I you liked Frella I suggest checking the book out. Also I'm starting to write a Supernatural fanfiction called Finding Marlin. If I decide to publish it I might give you guys a sample of it if you want.
So thoughts on chapter?¿
Thanks for 6k on Hidden! I'm actually going to go edit some of that now!
