Marlene tried getting her wand out when Ron noticed and shot a spell at her. Marlene felt as if she was just sliced by a swords several times a fell down unconscious. Regulus rushed over to Marlene. He began muttering the counter curse for sectumsempra. Sirius duelled Ron and finally disarmed him. He shot a spell that tied Ron up with ropes. "Reg she ok?" Sirius asked his brother. "She'll be fine. I'm going to get Andromeda.She's better at this than I am." Regulus said and left the room. "What are you doing here?" Sirius asked kneeling beside Ron. "Keeping my girlfriend." Ron replied struggling with the ropes. "No one touched her." "Really?Who was that Slytherin sitting with her?" Ron asked. "Regulus.My brother. He was studying." Sirius replied. "Then why were they brewing amortentia?" "Merlin knows why!But my brother's heart is only set for one person.And I guarantee you it's not her." Sirius replied. "Then who?" "Marlene McKinnon." "He's a Slytherin.He's a bitch,git,devil all of the above." Ron protested. Sirius grabbed Ron's neck."Talk about my brother or any Slytherins related to me and you will never see that girl again." Sirius threatened. He let go of Ron as soon as Regulus arrived with Andromeda. She ran to Marlene's aid and healed her. Sirius carried her to bed and sat there waiting for her.He and Regulus did that while they were intimidating Ron.

Marlene woke up and saw Regulus and Sirius talking. Once Regulus noticed she was a awake. He went over and hugged her. "What happened to him?" Marlene asked gesturing to Ron. "Amortenia drove him mad." Sirius said hugging Marlene. "For who?" "No idea we're assuming either you or Hermione." Regulus said. "Let me talk to her!" Ron yelled. "Who?" Sirius asked. Ron stared at Marlene. Marlene stared at Regulus and then Sirius. "Don't leave me." She peeped. "We won't." Sirius assured her. They let Ron go and he jumped on Marlene and kissed her. Sirius and Regulus tore him off her. Sirius and Regulus punched him at the same time. Marlene began breathing hard."Marlene you alright?" Sirius asked. "Yeah." She managed to say between heavy breaths. She couldn't stop breathing heavily.Not with Sirius and Regulus in the same room where she was just snogged by some bastard she didn't know. Sirius struggled to hold Ron down. "When does the effect where off?" Sirius asked Regulus. "Midnight?I think." Marlene felt her eyes roll in the back of her head and everything went black. "Marlene!" Regulus exclaimed and caught her. "Marlene.Marlene please wake up!" He begged. Sirius's head was throbbing.He could barely think straight.He ran to get someone.Anyone.The first person he ran into was Lily screaming at her brother in-law. She noticed Sirius. "What happened?Why are you so pale?" Lily asked. "Mar." Was all Sirius could say. Lily didn't need to hear anymore.She ran to her best friends room. She saw Marlene passed out in Regulus's arms. "We need to get her to St.Mungo's." Lily said.Lily,Regulus and Sirius apparated to the hospital and laid Marlene on a stretcher. The nurses took her from there.

Marlene woke up.Unable to think.The first person she saw was Sirius.He ran over and hugged her."What happened?" She asked. "You quit breathing." Sirius said. "You had us terrified there for a few hours Mar." Regulus said from where he was standing. "Sorry?" Marlene peeped. They apparated back to the base and went to sleep.
