The Forgotten Rosewood (Draco Malfoy)

Buckbeaks Last.......Squawks?

"Where is he?" Viola scoffed.

"Probably doing something stupid." Ella rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna take a walk and go look for him. You look in the castle?"

"Alright." Viola said. The girls split up to find Draco.

About an hour later Ella decided to find Viola. She walked through the halls when she saw Draco, Crabbe and Blaise running in.

"Draco!" Ella ran up to him and gave him a hug. "Bloody hell! Viola and I thought you were dead! What in Merlin's beard happened to your face?!" She exclaimed.

"The Granger girl punched me!" He exclaimed.

"Of course she did. I would've too if I were her. Come on, let's go clean you up." Ella sighed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later that day Ella was walking down the hall when she ran into some Gryffindors. "Bloody hell..." Ella muttered under her breath. Two of them grabbed her and dragged her to the nearest railing. They grabbed her wrists and wrapped a cloth around them and the railing.

"Duro." One of them smirked and the cloth turned to stone.

"Have fun getting out of this Rosewood..." One of them chuckled.

Another Gryffindor took Ella's wand out of her robes and threw it on the ground farther away and left Ella stranded.

"Great..." Ella sighed. "Please come looking for me guys..." She murmured.

Viola's POV:

"Draco, she's been gone for over an hour. She said she had to go to the bathroom!"

"V, I'm sure she's fine." Draco assured her.

~Three hours later~

"Maybe we should go look for her Draco..." Blaise said.

"I know..." Draco said. "Let's all go look."

Viola, Draco, Blaise, Crabbe, and Goyle all went out to look for Ella. They all started to worry for her.

Ella's POV:

"Please....just a little farther..." Ella grunted. She tried to grab her wand with her foot but it didn't work. Instead, she accidentally kicked it and iot rolled even farther away.
Ella sighed. Trying to blink back tears but she couldn't help it. After almost two hours she finally heard her name.

"ELLA?!" She heard Draco and Blaise's voices calling for her.

"Over here!" Ella yelled back. She suddenly heard footsteps running towards her.

"Bloody hell Ella we thought you were—" Blaise sighed but the two boys stopped when they saw her tear-stained face and her hands cuffed to the railing.

"Ella..." Draco ran over and pulled out his wand.

"My wand..." Ella choked. "It's over there." She glanced over to where her wand was lying. Blaise ran over and grabbed it.

"Diffindo..." Draco whispered and the stone fell to the floor, revealing Ella's bloody and bruised wrists. He grabbed her hands gently as Blaise came over. "Who did this to you?"

"Bloody Gryffindors..." Ella murmured.

Draco saw the look in her eyes and could tell she didn't want to talk about it here, with Blaise in the room.

"Blaise, go find the others, tell them Ella's okay. We'll meet you in the common room later." Draco said. Blaise got the hint and left. "Come on..." Draco took her outside.

"Draco it's almost curfew. We'll get caught." Ella said to him.

"No we won't. They won't know where we are." Draco smirked.

Draco took her to the hidden garden he had shown her once before. "I've wanted to come back here." Ella smiled softly.

"You could've asked..." Draco smirked. "Besides, it looked like you needed to talk."

Ella sat on the bench in front of a beautiful large tree and sighed. She looked at her swollen wrists. "I just keep having this nagging feeling that something is missing..." She frowned.

Draco frowned and sat down next to her, "What do you mean?"

"I don't know...I just feel like a part of me is...erased." Ella said slowly, "I've been having dreams..."

"What were they about?" Draco grabbed Ella's hand and took out his wand, he started to fix up the bruising and wounds.

"They looked like memories of the past, but I'm not sure—" Suddenly a howl pierced through the air. Both Slytherins stood up quickly, wands at the ready. "What was that?"

"I don't know." Draco said slowly.

Another howl was heard and Ella had a look of realization on her face as she took a shaky breath, "What? What is it?" Draco looked at her.

"That's a werewolf howl..." Ella whispered.

"Bloody hell." Draco said.

"I think it might be Professor Lupin..." Ella blurted.

"You what?" Draco looked at her as if she were completely mental.

"I think that Professor Lupin is a werewolf." Ella said.

"And you think this....how?"

"Ever since Snape assigned that essay I've had thoughts about it." Ella said. "We should probably get out of here though."

"Agreed." Draco nodded and they headed out of the garden. Draco suddenly stopped and placed his arm out to stop Ella.

Ella looked up to see the sky covered with dementors. "They've found him. Sirius Black."

"Look out!" Draco said and they both ducked as dementors started to dive towards them.

Ella stepped forward and yelled. "EXPECTO PATRONUM!"
A blinding white light shot from her wand that drove the dementors away quickly. Ella could sort of see the silhouette of what looked like a fox in front of her but it disappeared as the light faded and only her and Draco were left standing in the night.

"Merlin's beard El..." Draco said, stunned. "What in the bloody hell was that?"

"I'll tell you later." Ella regained herself and grabbed Draco's arm pulling him towards the castle. "We need to go."
