When Helaine opened up her eyes the first thing she noticed was the strange colored sky. It was a dark and dreary gray. Not that that was unusual of England but this sky seemed menacing, as if it were watching her. She laid there for a moment trying to recall how she had gotten to this place. She could only draw fragmented images from her memory. She sat up and looked around; she was sitting in a clearing surrounded by spooky looking trees. She felt around the ground for her wand but came up empty.



She stood up and looked around, she had the feeling that someone important was missing, she just couldn’t remember who. A gust of wind blew through the clearing making Helaine shiver. She looked down at herself; she was wearing a thin white night gown and nothing else. The ground beneath her bare feet was hard and frozen. She knew she needed to move, the feeling of danger saturated the clearing, making Helaine uneasy.



As she looked around trying to decide which way to go, she saw what appeared to be a dozen horses on the north side of the clearing. Helaine studied the horses for a moment. They were unlike anything she had ever seen before. They were huge, standing taller than Hagrid. They were all black, darker than the color of tar, their blood red eyes shining brightly. They were foaming at the mouth looking like they would charge at any moment.



Helaine took a step back only to pause when the horses all reared up on their hind legs. Helaine screamed and ran towards the trees. She could hear the horses hooves as the chased after her, they sounded like thunder. She ran as fast as she could, jumping over fallen trees and uncovered roots. The horses were right on her tail. She pushed her legs harder, not caring as a low hanging branch cut her cheek. When she looked ahead she could see light shining through the line of trees. She knew she had to get to that light, something told her that her very life depended on it.







Albus Dumbledore was running frantically through Hogsmeade village. The explosion had been seen and heard all the way down at Hogwarts. It had to be Death Eaters only they would be reckless enough to attack a village in broad day light. Dumbledore was pleased by this little stunt, Voldemort had finally slipped up. Now all they had to do was catch one of his foolish followers and torture them for information.



When the Headmaster rounded the corner to where the explosion happened, he was blocked by a group of people trying to see what was going on. He rudely pushed his way through the crowd, making his way to the center of all the confusion. Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape where already there surveying the damage, even Hagrid was there blocking on lookers view of the scene. Dumbledore was a little disappointed, there wasn’t a body he could display in the profit to gain support for his side. It actually didn’t seem like a Death Eater attack at all, the usual carnage was missing. As he came closer to the chaos, Professor McGonagall turned to him.



“Headmaster it’s bad. Two students have been taken.” She told him, her eyes shining with tears. Dumbledore was instantly worried; Minerva was always calm and collected when it came to students, even when there was trouble. The only students he had ever known her to be emotional over were Granger and Potter. The color drained from the old man’s face as that thought passed through his mind. Please don’t let it be them he thought. He couldn’t deal with one more problem concerning Potter.



“Who has been taken Minerva?” Dumbledore asked her. She handed him a tiny gold necklace, one he had seen before but couldn’t place.



“This belonged to Hermione Granger and these belonged to Helaine Potter.” She told him. She held the all too familiar glasses in her hands. They were cracked and covered in blood. It was his worst fear realized, that bastard had finally gotten to her. He felt the pure rage build within him. Voldemort had gone too far this time; Dumbledore wouldn’t rest until that man was dead for good. His attention was drawn to Snape as the man grabbed his left arm. Dumbledore walked over to him; if they acted fast enough they may be able to save them.



“Go to him. Find out if the girls are still alive. Stay as long as you’re needed but send word when you can. If he has them we have to get them out of there.” Dumbledore ordered. The dour man nodded an affirmative and stalked off toward the castle. Dumbledore stood there looking at Potter’s blood in the snow. The girl still had some use and he would be damned if he lost her now.



Severus Snape hurried through the halls of Hogwarts heading for his potions lab. He knew his master wouldn’t have hurt the girl, but someone had. With the amount of blood Potter had lost she had to be close to death. He barged into his lab going straight to his storage closet. He grabbed an array of different potions. After his bag was full he headed to his private room and activated the floo and went straight to Malfoy manor.



When he stepped through on the other side he was standing in the drawing room. His master was standing by a window looking agitated. He had never seen the Dark Lord look anything but harsh and lethal, now he looked worried and a little scared. Miss Granger was also in the room sitting on the couch covered by a blank-it looking shell shocked. Lucius was there as well standing off in a corner looking as thoughtful as usual.



“My Lord I am here. Where is the girl?” He asked. The Dark Lord turned to him, the emotion he had seen on the man’s face before had completely vanished.



“Helaine is up stairs, I’ll show you.” He said. He turned and stalked out of the room. Lucius and Miss Granger made to follow. Severus was going to tell Miss Granger to wait here but since his master hadn’t said anything about her presence neither would he.



When they got up the stairs to the room Severus could hear loud whimpering from the other side. When they walked into the room Severus immediately went to Helaine’s side. She was thrashing about like she was having a fit and she was completely drenched in sweat. Her skin was a sickly grey color, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth.



Severus ran his wand over the length of her body doing a diagnostic test. His wand glowed red when he reached her stomach. This was odd the girl didn’t appear to have any cuts or opened wounds anywhere on her body. His glowing red wand meant poison of some kind but that doesn’t explain all the blood they had found in Hogsmeade. He turned to Miss Granger who was standing by the bed quietly crying.



“You, what happened and I need to know everything. It seems Miss Potter has been poisoned I need to know what she may have ingested.” He commanded. Hermione sniffled and cleared her throat.



“This morning at breakfast she drank a glass of pumpkin juice. After she swallowed some if it she got sick. She told me Ron had poisoned her. I told her we should just stay at the school, but she insisted she would be fine. We used a portkey to get away from Hogwarts, when we landed Helaine fell really hard on her side. The next thing I knew she vomited blood and passed out. I knew we should have stayed…” Hermione told him looking lost and afraid. Severus didn’t have time to console her; he needed to get more information.



“Do you know what Weasley could have given her?” He asked.



“Well Helaine told me how Ron had told her he was in love with her. I don’t know what he could have given her. When we were trying to leave the great hall after Helaine got sick, he seemed determined to keep her there.” She told him.



Severus nodded he needed to get some of her stomach fluid to see what exactly was in her system. He went through his bag finding a vial of yellow potion. He uncorked it and held it to Helaine’s lips; he let a few drops fall into her mouth and helped her swallow. After a few moments she began squirming Severus sat her up and summoned a bowl. Helaine coughed violently and threw up in the bowl. As soon as she was finished she fell back on the bed still unconscious. The fluid was clouded with blood and bits of food. Severus went into his bag and pulled out a strainer and an empty vial, he strained some of the fluid into the vial.



“Lucius I’ll need to use the lab here I have to run some tests on this to see what is in her.” He told the older Malfoy. Lucius led Severus from the room and down to the basement of the house to the rarely used potions lab.



The Dark Lord was furious. He wanted to go out and find the little Weasley brat and skin him alive. How dare the filthy blood traitor try and take away what was rightfully the Dark Lords. He sat beside Helaine looking at her sickly colored face. He couldn’t understand the emotions he had for her. Not once in his whole life had he ever felt for someone what he felt for her. The raw possessiveness he felt whenever she was near him was enough to drive him insane.



He took her small hand in his and stroked his thumb over her clammy skin. An hour ago when he felt the wards at Riddle manor shift he was excited. He knew it was her coming to him at last. He had sent Avery and Nott to collect them and bring them back here. When they arrived Nott was holding Helaine in his arms and Miss Granger was shaking uncontrollably. He did what he could for her but he knew he had to call Severus. A sniffle from the other side of the bed brought him out of his reverie. He had forgotten all about the other person in the room.



“Miss Granger you should probably go and rest I’m sure you’re tired. I’ll inform when we know more about Helaine’s condition.” He told her. He wasn’t about to comfort her, he didn’t even know how. He just couldn’t stand her crying any longer.



“I’m sorry but I won’t be leaving her. Helaine is the only family I have left and until I know she is ok I’m not moving.” She said with such conviction in her voice that the Dark Lord was stunned silent. Oh yes she was defiantly a LeStrange, only that family had the nerve to speak up to the likes of him he thought. He considered her for a moment longer but turned his attentions back to Helaine when she began to stir. She looked as if she was having the worst nightmare of her life, if only they knew the half of it.





Helaine’s lungs were on fire as she ran through the forest. Just a bit further she thought as she raced toward the light at the edge of the forest. The Horses were still on her tail, she couldn’t look back to see how close they were. When she felt the warmth of the light on her face Helaine dived through the line of trees and landed in another clearing. She looked behind her all the horses had stopped at the end of the forest. They stood there watching her but they didn’t move forward, it was like they couldn’t.



Helaine stood and backed away from the dark forest putting plenty of distance between her and the demented horses. She looked around the new clearing. It was beautiful. There were wild flowers everywhere in all different colors. The sky was a perfect and clear blue. The air was warm and gentle on her skin like a soft kiss. Helaine felt deadly tired suddenly, she found a nice soft patch of grass and fell into a deep and peace full sleep.





Severus silently cursed the name Weasley as he raced back up the stairs to Helaine. The idiot boy had managed to botch a simple love potion. Helaine is lucky to even be alive. With the amount of doxy blood he found in her system, the potion should have killed her already. He had to hurry; he had to get the antidotes in her body before her heart failed.



He barged into the room scaring Miss Granger. He went over to his bag and shuffled the contents about until he found what he was looking for. He had to vials of potions one red one dark purple. He also had two large hypodermic needles. He filled them both up with each potion. He pulled the covers off Helaine and ripped her night gown open exposing her chest. The Dark Lord growled and shouted at him.



“Severus what the hell are you doing?!” Voldemort demanded. Severus didn’t waste any time answering; he took the needle with the red potion in and plunged it right into Helaine’s sternum. He pushed down on the plunger until the fluid in the needle was gone. He immediately did the same with the other needle. After both potions were in her body Severus waited. After thirty seconds of nothing he knew it was too late. He was just about to try CPR when Helaine gasped and shot up straight in bed. She coughed and retched all over the side of the bed. When she fell back on the pillow her eyes fluttered open, never in his life had Severus been happier to see her emerald eyes.
