Unknown Origins - The Rewrite

Chapter 40 - The Half-blood Prince

"So... Why's she glaring at me like that?" Ron asked slowly, looking at Lavender.

"Well... You said some things in your sleep." Harry admitted.

"And now you're single." Erica hummed.

"What?" Ron looked at Erica.

"Dont worry, you're okay." Erica hugged him.

"What was so bad that I said?" Ron asked.

"Oh nothing, just another girl's name." Harry shook his head.

Hermione looked at them before she began to eat her cereal.

"But don't you prefer not being constantly kissed? Because I do." Erica crossed her arms.

"My lips were constantly chapped.." He agreed.

"It was a bit... Awkward." Hermione nodded.

Harry looked around, seeing Katie Bell walk back in,"I'll be back."

"He's not about to just go up an ask about her traumatic experience, is he?" Erica asked quietly.

"It's Harry." Parker sighed and grabbed a waffle.

"He's not... The brightest." Ron shook his head,"And that's coming from me."

"Katie? I just... I wanted to know who had given you the package?" Harry sighed as he walked up to her.

"Oh.. I don't really remember much of it.." Katie shook her head, pausing as Draco entered.

Harry watched Katie's gaze travel from him to Draco, in which Draco turned around and quickly left the Hall.

Harry immediately ran after Draco, catching the attention of the Herd.

"Wait- What's going on?" Erica blinked

Parker looked,"I don't know... I'm going after them." She put her waffle down and ran after them.

"Hey, wait for me!" Erica followed after Parker.

They had chased down the boys to the boys bathrooms, near the Slytherin Common rooms, where Draco was hyperventilating over a sink, Harry standing behind him.

"I know what you did to Katie." Harry pointed.

"It wasn't me." Draco turned to him, gripping his wand.

"Yeah right." Harry raised his own wand.

Draco quickly turned around, aiming his wand and went to cast a spell. Harry sent a spell before him, although he missed, hitting the sink.

"They're fighting." Parker began to sprint to the bathrooms.

"No, no fighting." Erica shook her head.

"I can't let them-"

"Sectumsempra!" Harry shouted.

With a single word, Draco fell to the ground, struggling for air as he bled from his chest.

"Draco!" Parker quickly ran in, falling down to his side.

"Harry... What did you do?" Erica turned to him as Snape ran in.

"I.." Harry pulled out Erica's book.

"Snape, you need to help him." Parker looked at him, her hands were over Draco's wounds.

Snape knelt beside Draco, muttering a spell.

"We need to go.." Erica shook her head.

Harry slowly walked backwards before he ran off.
