Marie ran up to Christian, and slapped him through teary eyes. "You idiot. You foul loathsome evil little cockroach." she said, and looked away from him, walking off the Astronomy Tower and into the air. Christian winced, and looked at his feet. "We have to get out of here." he said to Lily and Ginny. "More may come." he said.

Lily's voice quivered; "Christian, we should be so mad at you, right now. But you saved my mum. Thank you, so much." Lily said, solemly as they started walking.

Christian nodded, and the door burst open. An agry howl made them all turn, and Marie flew back to the tower, and stood in front of them. "Greyback." she said, and the werewolf looked at her. "Shilling." he growled, and looked at her lustfully. He lunged at her, and she deflected him. "Down boy." she said, throwing him to the ground. He groaned, and grabbed her ankle, flinging her down. He pulled her towards him, and licked his lips. "I love the blood of creatures." he said laughing, but his laughter was short lived, as Christian smashed his head with a brick from the wall. Marie nodded in thankfulness, but Christian soon lay beside her, prostrate on the ground. He was wincing in pain.
"Don't you know your Grandfather never falls easily, boy?" said Lucius. Christian looked back. and Lucius moved his wand on him. "Try to get up, and I'll kill Ms. Vampire here. Or maybe Weasley and her daughter." he said. He picked Christian up, and held his wand to his throat. Christian winced. He smelt of liquor and body odor. "Look at her lying there Christian. She looks perfectly dominated. Do you like it?" he asked, and Christian tried not to blush. "I'll give you a choice, son. Join me, and I'll let them go. Deny me, and I'll rape her right in front of you." he said.

Ginny held Lily back, Lily was near tears and trying her hardest to get to Marie. She looked over to Christian, "Christian." She whispered, strugling against her mother. Lily turned to watch Lucius' face.

Christian choked. He couldn't join. But he couldn't do that to Marie. So Christian did was he felt was best.
"Kill me, instead. Spare them, and take me. Torture me, and do what you like." he said, and Marie cried out. "Christian. Deny them, and run. I'll be fine!" she cried, but Christian wouldn't hear it. "Grandfather, spare Marie, Lily and Aunt Ginny, and take me instead." he said, and Lucius smiled. "If you insist." he said, and a beam of yellow light shot into Christian's chest. His body fell onto Marie, who went numb. "Your free to go. Tell my good for nothing son that his debt is paid." he said, and hobbled back into the castle.

After Christian dropped, Ginny let go of Lily and she fell over, onto her friends, "Christian!" She sobbed. Ginny raised her wand, muttering "Accio Owl." Soon, a white bird came flying towards them and landed on the sill. "Take this to the Weasleys, and then this to St. Mungo's." She said, voice and arm shaking as she wrote the two notes.
Soon, the white bird flew away, and Ginny fell to her knees next to the children.

Marie refused to speak, or cry. She just stood up, and walked over to the edge of the tower.
"He must go home." she said softly.

"How are we supposed to get him there? We can't possibly fly...how could we carry him?" Lily asked, pushing tears from her eyes.

Marie shook her head. "We flew there, we fly back. I can carry him." she said, and turned to his body.

"Are you sure, Marie?" Ginny asked, looking from her to Christian, still on the ground. "She'll be fine mum. You take Christian's broom, we'll fly." Lily says, standing up and handing Ginny his broom, and took her own. They silently walked outside after Marie lifted Christian into her arms with the girls' help.

Marie forced herself not to stroke his hair as she walked, and threatened herself not to cry. "Lily. Your father and uncle are on the pitch. Tell them to follow." she said, and took to the air. Christian's hair blew around him, making him look like a peaceful sleeping angel. But Marie shook her head. This was no time to think of such things. She worried even more about what his mother and father would say.

Lily nodded and took off towards the pitch. She saw them sitting on the ground.
"This is hopeless. We're not going to find Ginny. She's gone." Harry said, and kicked his foot against the ground. "We're going to find my sister, mate. I'm not going back without Ginny." Ron says, playing with a bristle on his broom.
Just then, Lily ran inside and into Harry's back, "Dad, we have to get back home." She said as Harry pulled her around to his front. When she studied his worn face, a couple emotions screamed out at her; angry, confused, and scared, were the main ones. "Lily? What the...?" Harry asked, looking over at Ron. "There's no time, dad. Come on, we have to get back to Nana & Pop's house. Christian's hurt. I'll explain it to you later." Lily says, and tugs at her dad's hand.
"Is your mum okay?" Ron asked, Lily turned and nodded as they run towards the group.

The trip back to the Burrow was a silent one. When they landed in the yard, Marie was last to arrive, and Hermione and Draco were ferverently searching for Christian. Marie immediatly knelt on the ground, the tears that should have been shed before spilling out onto his porcelian face.
"What.... happened?" Draco asked slowly, but Hermione went crazy. She pushed Marie away, and held her son to her heart. She was sobbing uncontrollably, and Draco walked over to her. Salem comforted Marie, but Salem could smell something that grief had zapped of Marie.
"He's not dead." she said loudly.

Katie, Ron, Molly, Arthur, and the rest of the Weasleys ran outside, Katie went to Hermione's side, and kneeled down next to her. "Wait, this feels...familiar. What kind of light came out when they casted the spell?" Ron asked, looking at the kids and Ginny.

Marie tore away from her mother, not speaking. She was reliving the moment in her head.
Finally, she spoke. "Yellow, I think." she said.

Ron sighed and, in his mind, went back in time. He tried to rememeber where he had seen a yellow ray of light being admitted from a wand before. Being an Auror now, he prized himself at being on top of his game when it came to magic.
"Katie, when you were hit with the spell, during the Quiddich game seventh year...do you remember what color hit you?" Ron asked slowly, putting a hand on her sholder. Katie gasped, and looked at the others.

Marie's eyes flashed, and she grabbed onto Katie by the collar. "WHAT. IS. WRONG. WITH. HIM?" she roared.

Katie gently took Marie's hands off her shirt, "Look, Marie, honey, all you have to do is give Christian a kiss, that'll wake him up, he'll be okay in no time." Katie says, and holds Marie's sholders. "It's hard to believe, I know. Lucius put a spell on him that is only broken when the injured is kissed by their true love." Ginny said.
"It happened to Katie, seventh year. I woke her up." Ron said, taking Katie into his arms. She smiled.

Marie scowled. "One problem. HE DOESN'T LOVE ME! Even if I kissed him, he wouldn't wake up!" she screamed. She walked away from the body, and began to hypervantalate.

Lily sighed and hurried over to Marie, putting her arms aronnd the girl. "Shh, Marie, shh. Look, you're wrong. I'm pretty sure Christian returns your feelings. I've been watching you two." Lily says quietly, rubbing her back.

Marie whipped around, and nearly knocked Lily to the ground. "LOVE? HE HATES ME! Glares and silent mocking! He despises me. SPITS ON THE GROUND I WALK ON!" she screamed.

"He does not! Did you ever hear of boys teasing a girl that they really like? It happens all the time!" Lily yells back.
The group watched the two girls agrue, ready to intervene if needed.

Marie huffed, and walked over to Christian's body. She picked up his neck, and took a deep breath, scared out of her wits. "You owe me one." she whispered, and kissed him softly on the lips. She felt a tingle erupt in her chest, and a feeling of utter helplessness take over. "It didn't work." she said, pulling away.

"Give it a couple mintues, Marie. It worked." Ron says, watching the two. Lily comes back over to the group and bites her lip, watching.

Christian groaned, clutching his chest. Hermione shrieked, but Draco held her where she was. "Why do I feel like I was hit in the chest with a bludger?" he groaned out, and Marie just sat there in awe. He opened his eyes and looked at her. "Is this heaven, because if so, I think you came to the wrong place, Shilling." he said, smiling. Marie said nothing, but stared at him. "Christian? Are you really awake?" she whispered, and the boy rolled his eyes. "No, your dreaming. Go back to sleep and you'll wake up, and I'll be dead. OF COURSE I'M AWAKE!" he said, and sat up.

Lily started to cry, but laugh at the same time as she knelt beside Marie, but off to the side a little, to give them space.
Behind the kids, Ron kissed Katie on her cheek. She had her back against his chest and his arms were around her.

Marie gasped, and slapped him. "YOU IDIOT! YOU HAD ME SCARED OUT OF MY WITS!" she screamed, and got up. Christian, who was in her lap, fell to the ground. He looked up at her, and smiled. "Aw, come on Marie. I was fine!" he said, and walked over to his mother and father, who hugged him tightly.

"You scared us to death Christian." Lily says.
"Let's get you inside, kid. It's getting cold." Harry says. Draco helps Christian up and they walk inside together.

Marie stayed outside, and it began to rain once everyone else was in. Marie was thankful for the rain at that moment. It hid the tears she had begun to shed. "He didn't even notice." she whispered to herself, and walked off into the garden to lay in the grass.
Draco helped Christian into a chair in the kitchen. "What happened? Who was there?" he asked Christian. "Your debt was paid?" he said to this father, and Draco's eyes flashed with anger. He looked at Hermione, and shook his head. "He still hates us, Mione." he said.

Lily was sitting by Christian, and finally relized Marie wasn't there. Lily quietly got up and went to the window, where she relized it was raining. She made sure noone was watching and went outside, grabbing an umbrella. "Marie?! Marie, where are you?" She called.
Lily knew her grandparents' property by heart, and she knew that Marie didn't. It couldn't be good, even for a vampiric girl.
