Alexis's Pov

I spent what felt like forever trying to find Draco but I had no luck.

Even though I was surrounded my fellow students and the Death eaters were also dotted about..I'd never felt so alone.

He was like a safety blanket.

I was weak, too scared to fight.

Like a pathetic and helpless child, I was cooped up in a corner praying for my life.

Every breathing I heard made my skin crawl.

Every footstep made my heart jump out of my chest.

I feared for my life.

I feared for Harry's life.

I felt physically sick thinking about Draco because I had no idea if he was alive or not.

I'd tried my hardest not to cry but thinking of the people closest to me made them come flooding out.

"You know there's many things that deeply anger me but hearing a child cry- well that's a different story", A dry voice spoke as they walked around the corner.

I didn't even dare lift my head up to see who spoke, I didn't even try and run..even if I wanted too.

"When somebody is speaking to you, you at-least owe them the respect of looking them in the eye".

The man who spoke quickly leaped towards me, gripping my hair to pull me up onto my feet.

I couldn't help but continue looking down at my shoes.

"LOOK AT ME".

My lip trembled as I slowly raised my head, I gulped loudly as I saw his platinum locks draping down on his shoulders.

"Lucius", I whispered to myself.

"Ah, yes correct", He mocked.

"What do you want, shouldn't you be running round after your master?".

He laughed softly but his face quickly turned sour again.

"Pathetic fucking muggle, how dare you make jokes at my expense".

"I sincerely apologise sir".

He looked down at me, an evil smirk say upon his face. "Much appreciated-

Before he could even finish his sentence, I'd pushed past him- quickly running away.

I could hear footsteps getting closer and closer behind me but I didn't stop running.

I could out run him but I knew he wouldn't give up.

"CRUCIOOO", Lucius screeched.

I didn't even have time to dodge his curse before I knew it I'd fell to the floor.

My body was shaking like crazy and I could feel my head throbbing.

My skin felt like it was burning off, my heart was beating rapidly out of my chest.
