Chapter Five: The Rescue

After I came to, Liberty was soaked. She had gone to THE TOP OF Ravenclaw Tower to find Devyn crying and seconds away from slipping and falling hundreds of feet to her death.

" Girls! Ten former Death Eaters have infiltrated the school! Warn your fellow house mates, save lives! I will go to aid the other professors!" he squeaked.

"Listen, if we die tonight, I want them to find my body next to yours," Lysander whispered. "Sounds nice," I said.

My life was falling apart around me, my heart bursting at the seams. I was thousands of miles away from my family, and I would probably die in a few hours. But there in Lysander's arms, it didn't matter how many tears I cried, or how much blood was lost.
