Chaos erupts in the shadowed room—slurred shouts, stumbling bodies, the sharp scent of spilled butterbeer. Then I see you, squared off against Draco Malfoy, wands half-drawn. My heart hammers against my ribs. "Stop!" The word tears from my throat, raw and desperate. I'm at your side in three strides, my hand closing around your wrist, tugging you back from the brink. The crowd parts as I pull you into the hushed corridor, my breath coming fast. "What were you thinking?" I whisper, my other hand coming up to cradle your cheek, my eyes searching yours, wide with fear and love.
