Pacing... [open]

[potterfreak27]

Draco walked slowly back and forth in the empty classroom. He was thinking about that girl, he knew he should be at lunch, but he didn't feel like it at the moment. For once he'd taken the time to make his hair appear sleek, not tousled as per usual. His wand remained in a loose grasp in his left hand, to tell the truth, Draco was ambidextrous, but he generally favored his left hand for wand work. But now wasn't the time where his mind was on his idiosyncrasies. That beautiful girl, her bright, piercing blue eyes... Draco sighed, then sat atop a desk. He pulled the time turner out, which he had tucked below the neckline of his shirt. He fingered the surface, he had no reason to go back in time. Slowly, Draco tucked the time turner below his robes, out of sight. Maybe he ought to go talk to the Ravenclaw...

Indago walked in, stumbling on the robes that were too large for her. She caught herself on the wall, then straightened up and saw the Malfoy boy. She knew he'd been crushing on her, gaping stupidly at her... Indago rolled her eyes and walked toward the door but was stopped.

[potterfreak27]

"Wait! I've been meaning to talk to you for a while." Draco said, cataching up with the girl in two long strides. Hopefully she wouldn't just leave...

[potterfreak14]

Indago whipped around in the door frame. Her bangs fell into her eyes. She cocked an eyebrow. "You're kidding, right?" Indago asked skeptically.

[potterfreak27]

Draco swallowed. "I'm- Did you hear that?" Draco said all of the sudden. There was an odd noise, although there were some sort of invisible being in the room who was being awful careless...

[potterfreak14]

Indago looked over the guy's shoulder. "Hold still." Indago whiapered. She could she the follower. Disinlument charm, she could see right through it. She drew her wand and aimed over Draco's shouler. "Stupefy!" Indago yelled. She missed, the follower seized the opportunity to seize Indago, holding her at wand point. "Run for it, it's me they want, it's me they'll get." Indago said, pulling uselessly at the follower.

[potterfreak27]

Draco shook his head, he drew his own wand, then non-verbally disabled the disinlument charm. He could see the big, bulky follower now. "Hey jerk, leave the girl alone." Draco snarled, tightening his grip on his wand, prepared to send any curse at the follower. The follower laughed. "Right, like I'll leave this pregnant bitch alone after how she's fucked with our plans." The follower said in a deep growl. Draco ignored this comment. "Stupefy!" Draco cursed. It stunned the follower, Draco prized Indago from his frozen grip. "Go, run , while you still have the chance!" Draco pleaded, not wanting the girl to be in any danger.

[potterfreak14]

"And miss out on all the fun? Not a chance." Indago reponded with a smirk. She picked her wand off the floor and pointed it at where the follower once stood. There was one problem, he had disappeared again.

[potterfreak27]

"Where did he go to?" Draco whispered. Suddenly, Draco's mind went blissfully blank, not a care of anything...

Look, she's at our mercy now said a voice in the back of his mind.
What's that supposed to mean? said another voice.
Kill her now, you idiot. the voice snapped.
No, I don't want to.
Do it!
I can't!
Why the hell not?
I love her.
You blithering idiot.

Draco then felt an immense pain, his skin was on fire, his limbs were bending backward on themselves... Then it stopped, he was breathing rather heavily... He sank to his knees, it was starting again. Draco lay on the floor, the caster of the curse giving no mercy...

[potterfreak14]

Indago knelt beside him, placing a gentle, yet firm hand on his shoulder. Her piercing blue eyes scanned the room, the follower was there, she could see him in the corner. She made a connection with Draco's mind.

You can fight this off, just focus on what you've got to do. I can only help so much, the rest you've got to do on your own. Indago projected.

[potterfreak27]

The voice, it was sweet, it filled his mind... He fought it, he felt the curse losing its touch on him. With a sharp breath, Draco jerked back into reality. He was on his hands and knees on the floor, the girl beside him. He shakily stood up, firm grasp on his wand. "Where did he go?" Draco asked the girl, emerald eyes surveying the space.

[potterfreak14]

In the corner, wait, no. I've lost him again... Indago projected. The man had dropped from her radar, completely disappeared. He was behind them! One of Indago's eyes poked into the back of her head. "Watch out!" Indago screeched.

[potterfreak27]

Draco looked quizzically at the girl. "What-?" He began, but his sentence was cut off by a loud scream emitted from him. A knife had been stuck between his ribs. Draco sank to his knees, limp with shock, side wet with blood. It dripped steadily onto the floor. The follower didn't bother to remove the knife from Draco's wound...

[potterfreak14]

That tore it. Fuck magic Indago thought, then punched the follower square in the nose. He howled in agony. Indago began punching every bit of the man she could reach, anger peaking within her. Hormones completely out of control. She used her water elemental and telekinesis, smacking the follower about. "Don't think you've seen the last of us, bitch." the follower spat, then teleported. Indago cussed, then turned her attention to Draco. "Are you alright?" Indago asked softly, temper dying down.

[potterfreak27]

Draco heard the girl's words, but they were faint, distant... He grasped the handle of the knife and wrenched it from his side. He gasped feebly in pain, his hands were soaked in blood, the room was spinning... Draco collapsed.
