I went back on my feet the next day. I didn't sleep, watched Draco leave early in the morning. I dont blame him for leaving. I gathered my belongings and went to breakfast. Everyone stared at me as I entered the great hall, but I froze a bit.
"Head up, chest out." Lisa said as she stood next to me. I loosen up a bit. "Dont let them get to you." She held my hand as we walked towards Blaise.
"Did you hear?" Blaise turns around as I sat down on my seat, waiting for Draco. Lisa sat next to Blaise. I read the newspaper reading that ten prisoners in Azkaban escaped, blaming it on Sirius Black, one of the being Bellatrix. I watched Neville get angry.
"About what?"
"Harrington and Notts got beaten up badly this morning." I watched the two come into the hall with black eyes.
"Sorry im late." Draco comes in, kissing my cheek, grabbing an apple. Parkinson and Greengrass came in with their hair chopped off. Draco winks at me. He did this. "I love you."
"How adorable, get a room." Lisa threw a muffin at Draco, making him catch it.
"I see you're doing okay, you good?" Draco asked her as he took a bite from his apple.
"Im sorry, you got hurt? Those bastards hurt you?" Blaise turns to her. He let his guard down, he coughs, cooling down. "Im glad to see that you're fine."
"Thank you Blaise." Lisa gave me a wink as she walked off to her table.

Class after class, all I've been doing is letting my mind wonder about my mother. I Didnt pay any attention to what the professors where teaching.
"Darling, talk to me." Draco stops me in the hallway. I snapped out of my thoughts.
"About what?" I hummed, looking up at him. "Its just the medication." I lied.
"Stop teasing him!" I heard Lisas voice and saw the hall crowded. I frowned and walked through the crowd. It was Goyle and Notts pushing Neville around.
"What are you going to do about it Scamander?"
"Lisa." Blaise grabs her hand. "Dont get involved."
"Leave Neville alone, he didnt do anything!" Goyle laughs at her. Lisa faced turned red.
"Get lost." He pushed her to the ground. I dropped my books and charged at him. I grabbed his vest, pushing him against the wall, pulling him close to me.
"Dont ever disrespect her! Ive made myself clear the day I brought her into this group!" I yelled. Draco helped Lisa up. "Leave them alone." I let him go and Potter helped pick up Neville. I made my way to Lisa, Blaise and Draco. "Are you alright?"
"House traitor!" My nose flared.
"Shes not!" Draco steps up. "Keep your mouth shut!"
"You wanna go Malfoy?!"
"Don't test me." He growls.
"Come on Draco, shes standing up for them!" He points at Neville and Lisa. "You do this all the time! Why are you changing your mind!?"
"Dont." Lisa grabbed my hand, trying to walk away. Draco puts his hand on my back, walking away with me.
"You're just like your father. A coward, scary and nothing!" Goyle yells out. The students oohed. I stopped. "Having your boyfriend do all the talking."
"Darling dont." Draco whispers to my ear. "Knock it off Goyle, this isnt funny."
"Say that again Goyle." I turned around.
"You heard me." I licked my lips as I chuckled. I let go of Lisas hand and charged at him.
"Daphne!" I swung, punching him in the jaw. Everyone gasps. Draco ran to me, holding me back.
"Dont ever talk about my father, you hear!"
"Or what! Are you going to crawl into your little hole and cry for daddy again."
"Dont disrespect her!" Draco lets me go and punches Notts to the ground. Goyle marches up to me, i pulled out my wand and pointed it at his neck. He puts his hands up. I snarled, my eyes black, i had nothing but anger inside.
"Back the bloody hell up before I-"
"Daphne! They get it!" Lisa yells, making me stop. I gasped out as I realized that I was going to kill him. I quickly brought down my wand, Draco pushing Notts and we walked away.
"Whats going on here!" I heard Mcgonagall walking in as we four left. I let myself go for a second. I didn't like this. I didnt like how it felt. Was it the mark? Was it just me? Im going bad...
✷ ✷ ✷
Potter's secret club was found and they all got detention because of Cho Chang. Lisa was part of the club. I felt bad for them. I gotten the news that Umbridge is now headmaster. The school became a prison. All paintings were pulled down, doors locked down. I actually felt sorry for Potter and his friends.
"Let me see." I looked at Lisas hand. The old hag did the same thing she did to me to them. I rubbed some medicine that I whipped up, onto her hand.
"We really did try."
"I know you did." I put a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Im proud of you standing up for yourself."
"You should've joined." I looked down, closing the lid of the jar.
"Yeah, I should've."
"What happened earlier? You weren't yourself, it seemed like you were a whole different person." I gulped and was going to say why, but we heard footsteps. We quickly stood up.
"Go! I cant let you get in trouble again." I pushed her away. I began to walk to the sound and jumped to the Weasley twins.
"There she is." They smiled.
"Merlins! You could've given me a heart attack!" I hit their arms.
"We have a position for you."
"For what?"
"We know you hate Umbridge more than anyone in this school." True. I crossed my arms.
"We are going to do this surprise for her during OWLs. And we need your help."
"Im listening."
"She's going to be looking for us." They hand me a toy bomb. "Youll set this up, exactly 20 minutes into the exam. When it explodes, we come into play." They looked at me. "Come on Daphne, join us." George sang.
"Whats in it for me?"
"A date with me." Fred smirks.
"Manifest it, maybe it'll happen." I laughed. "In your dreams Weasley."
"No OWLs." Thats all they had to say.
"Im in. And no Fred, i will not go on a date with you." They both laughed.
"See you tomorrow." They both said walking away happy.
✷ ✷ ✷
I woke up early, placed the bomb outside the door, by the knights. I read through the manual, put the timer for 20 minutes. Everyone suddenly came in. Fred and George peeked around the corner. I winked at them.
"She looks worried." Draco said as Umbridge looked around lostly.
"Miss Snape!" Umbridge comes in. "Have you seen the twins?" She takes a breather. Game time.
"If you really would like to know, they went that way." I started pointing up, down left, right.
"Which one?"
"The twins, Fred and George."
"They did?"
"Did what?" I played stupidly.
"Went those directions?"
"Who did?"
"The twins."
"What twins?" She looked at me as if I was crazy. "Merlins Professor Umbridge, you gotten out of your mind. Obsession maybe?"
"Why you useless girl!" She storms into the hall. Draco held my hand as we entered, I smirked at the twins as the doors closed. I took a seat, starting my test. I looked at my watch 15 minutes. Dont fail me now Weasleys. The pendulum ticks as we concentrated on the test. I went through the test, easy i must say. I heard a loud boom. Its happening. Everyone looked back. Umbridge walked to the door, opening it. A Firework exploded into the hall. The twins came flying in with their brooms. everyone awed and laughed as their test flew out their hands. I looked up and laughed as the fireworks chased after Crabbe and Goyle.
"What in the world!" I covered my laugh as a firework came at Draco, leaving his face print on the wall.
"Come on Daphne!" George takes my hand and i got on the broom, we watched Umbridge getting chased by a dragon. We all laughed. "What A view." George sets me down, flying out of the hall. Everyone ran out of the school, watch the twins. I couldn't stop smiling. Draco watched me, smiling at me. Something he hasn't seen on me in awhile. He pulls me in closer to him, laughing with me.
"May I?" Fred swoops in. Draco agrees. I took Freds hand and we flew away. I saw Potter fall. Something was wrong. The trio ran into the school. Something wasn't right. I had it in my gut. Fred dropped me off and I ran inside to find my father. I saw him going to Umbridges office.
"Father!" I yelled at him. He opened the door before I could say anything else.
"You sent for me, headmistress?" He said. I saw Potter and his friends getting held by Draco and the others. Potter saw the worried look in my eyes.
"Snape, yes. The time has come for answers, whether
he wants to give them to me or not. Have you brought the Veritaserum?" She looked crazy.
"I'm afraid you've used up all my stores interrogating students. The last of it on Miss Chang. Unless you wish to poison him... And I assure you, I would have
the greatest sympathy if you did. I cannot help you." He turns away.
"I need to tell you something." I told him, stopping him from waking so he can hear me out.
"He's got Padfoot. He has Katherine." My heart stopped as Potter yelled out Katherines name, Padfoot, Katherine told me that was Sirius' nickname. Me and My father turned slowly. "He's got Padfoot and Katherine at the place where it's hidden."
"Padfoot? Katherine? What is Padfoot? Whos Katherine? Where what is hidden? What is he talking about, Snape?" Umbridge asked.
"No idea." We walked away.
"Father, Katherine. I know shes in danger!" I yelled at him, walking besides him.
"Ill tell Lucas."
"We dont have time! Its Katherine father!" I pulled his arm as we walked down the stairs. "I have to go there."
"No." He looks at me worried. "If hes there, i wont let you go there alone. Your mother might be there."
"Then come with me." I begged him. It was dangerous, I know. "Fine! Tell Lucas now! If something happens to her, i dont know what ill do." He grabs my hand, heading to his office. "Lucas!" I said as i saw him in the fire.
"Lucas, its Katherine. Shes in trouble. Ministry."
"Bloody hell. What is it?"
"Him." I said. His eyes grew. "Please Lucas. Nothing can happen to her." The fire went out. I cried onto my fathers chest. He patted me softly on the back.
"Shes going to be okay." He shushes me. "I know her."
"I should be there." I told him.
"The risks Daphne. I cant lose you." My eyes widen. My father said that. He doesn't want to lose me. Hes showing his emotions. I hugged him again. "You're mothers close by. I saw her roaming around hogsmade the other day." He looks at me. "We have to leave. we're going to London when the year ends."
✷ ✷ ✷
Potter and his friends fought with the Death eaters. Lucas grabbed Granger, holding his wand at her neck, watching Lucius and Potter argue about the prophecy. White light came in, Black punched Malfoy. Lucas sees Katherine. He charges at her. The two pretended to fight.
"You're in danger Katherine. Daphne said."
"What do you mean?"
"She felt it." They landed on the ground, using harmless spells on each other. Bellatrix looked at the siblings. "Im sorry." He pulls Katherine close to him. Holding his wand to her neck.
"Avada Kedavra!" Bellatrix yells, pointing at Sirius. Katherine screams.
"No!" Sirius turned white, falling into the archway. "Sirius!" Everyone was disappearing. Lucas lets go of Katherine. "No!" Crying over her lover. Lupin holds back Potter, screaming for him.
"Go! We got her!" Tonks yells at Lucas. He shook his head. He didn't want to leave Katherine. "Go! Before they notice!" He took one last glance at his sister, sobbing over Sirius. He got flashbacks, he gasps. He can hear him screaming Regulus name as he try to destroy the horcrux . Tonks yells at him again, making him vanish.
