PROLOGUE

She ran forward, dodging Death Eaters and Order members alike. The grounds of Hogwarts were lit up by an array of spells being shot. She tripped and fell, breathing heavily.

Looking behind her, she saw the scarlet robes of an Order member, but she didn't care. Only one thing mattered to her right now.

Getting up, she looked around, getting her bearings. Where had he gone? Finally, she spotted him, slowly rising from the ground, where a hex had cut his upper arm. She started running again, desperate to reach him.

The Order member he was fighting raised his wand and shouted a curse. With a strangled cry, he fell to the ground, not moving.

"Draco! No!"

Hermione ran forward towards him and dropped to the ground beside him, leaning over to check his breathing. "No, no…this isn't the way it was supposed to be." Hermione muttered to herself, performing healing spells she had learned over the years.

However, it was too late.

Okay, so I know it's REALLY short! But I'm already working on chapter three, and the chapters are WAY longer than this prologue. Remember, it's just a teaser! Tell me what you think! I should have the first chapter up by this weekend.
