Time After Time
Chapter 1 Annie

Draco sat on the window sill and leaned into the breeze. A dark worn book was open in his hands open to a page of 'Beast poison'. If he had closed his eyes he would have to give into his body will to sleep. Now in days, Draco had not been sleeping very well. He would stay up late at night, watching over the meetings that the Dark Lord had planned some nights.

"Draco!" a disturbed voice yelled.

Draco rolled his eyes. He put down the book he was reading and laid his eyes on a very pink Goyle dressed in a too-too. Draco raised an eyebrow at him biting his cheek to restrain from laughing.

"She has gone too far man!" Draco sighed.

It was about Annie again.

"What did she do this time Goyle?" he asked him. Draco tried not to laugh at the sight of him.

Goyle's mouth flew open staring at his friend. The man just couldn't believe he did not notice the obvious. "DO YOU SEE THIS?!" he yelled at him as he pointed to the too-too. Draco figured Goyle had not notice the cotton candy color on his skin.

"Yes I have, and I think you are very pretty princess you are, yes you are!" he cooed him, smirking his Malfoy smirk.

Goyle glared at him. "She's nuts! She spends most of the day talking to walls and bites me when I try to move her away from the wall!"
Goyle was throwing his hands in the air which made him notice the change of color of his skin. Doing this ofcourse made his eyes bulge. "AND SHE TURNED ME PINK!"

"At least you match with your too-too."

He received another glare.

"I'm serious Draco, she has chased off every other death eater, if it wasn't that we were under orders, I think we would of avada kadava her little loony ass by now"

Draco looked at him sternly which made Goyle shift a bit. Ever since the dark lord had taken interest in his cousin, Draco had become untouchable and most feared. Well, second feared after the Lord himself.

Goyle had released a small grumble before changing his words. "I mean, no one would harm the little loony angel" he said sarcastically.

"She has her own fun mate"

"Well then she should just get people and torcher them to save their lives"

Draco chuckled. He remembered how Annie had made everyone in the castle watch Saw. Thankfully Voldemort was away at a meeting. He would have made their mission more unbearable to go through.

"She is mental mate" Goyle said and Draco could not think anything but agree.

"No shit" He said making a mug of coffee appear on his desk.

As Goyle kept yelling on soon enough Draco zoned him out. Though he should have known better since the next thing he heard Goyle say was a little too much for him. "And her pussy attacked me man!"

Draco fell off his chair spilling the coffee on the rug. Shit."Excuse me?"

"Her cat man, that psychotic black cat, he scratch the shit out of me"

Draco eyes widen at the sight of Goyle's new battle scars. Max, Annie's precious pet, was a demonic overprotective pussy indeed.

"Well all you got to do is play with it a little and it'll be pudding in your hands"

Goyle looked at his friend shaking his head. He could tell Goyle wondered how he can make that kind of joke. But he thought otherwise. "You tame her then! She's your cousin"

Indeed she was. Annabel ginger was his special little cousin. That is at least what the Dark Lord calls her. His parents had told him about her. Just to save some sort of respect from the man. Draco stood up dusting off his jacket and walked passed Goyle. Goyle stood silently not knowing Draco was doing until he made a turn down the hall in which Goyle stopped and turned away. He did not want to head back there again.

Her room, cleanest room in the castle, he did believe. It was only to soften her up after the harsh punishment she receives each day. Egyptian silk covered the huge bed that she shared with her cat. Maxwell, her pet in which for some reason Draco had taken a liking to. Draco suddenly felt warmth at the bottom of his leg. He looked down to meet big green eyes. He didn't hesitate before scooping up the black cat into his arms.

"Where is she?" Max looked at him tilting his head at Draco. Max's eyes were filled with life. A bright green color, too bright for to be just cat's eyes. He then wiggled a little before scurrying off around Annie's bed and jumping onto the window that lay open.

Annie sat there, looking out onto the stars. She didn't notice his presence yet. Draco walked over taking a seat next to her. As he closed the gap between them, the moonlight affected her image more. The moon glittered down on her showing off the blue pendant that hung on a silver chain around her neck. It was the only thing she had left from her old life.

"Annie?" he heard him say close to a whisper. When she did not moved, he said it again even more loudly. "Annie" This had caught her attention. Her blue orbs swayed to the corner of her eye taking a glimpse of Draco. Once he was sure she was certain it was him she tilted her head in question. She leaned in close to his face as if she was going to reveal the secret to the universe.

"It's rude to interrupt a conversation Draco" she said in a whisper.

Of course, to anyone they would ask in a burst, 'what conversation?!' But Draco was used to this by now. Since the death of her parents, Annie's sanity had seemed to shrivel up as her powers developed. She claims to hear voices from the walls, tress, and objects. Tonight he guessed it was the stars. Draco in respects made a small bow towards Annie as well to the night sky as if it was a person itself.

"My apologies, but it is time for her to rest"

He did not raise his head; he waited until she had moved off the window sill. Draco felt a shift in the wooden floor. He looked to find Annie closing her window. Locking it and then turned to her cousin. "Are we going to play a game?" she asked him cheerfully in her chirpy voice.

"No Annie it's time for your bed"

"We can play puppets, let's make Crabbe run around Draco, we can throw him into the pig's den, I'm sure he'll feel at home"

Draco chuckled. "No games Annie, you must rest before tomorrow's test"

Annie made her face blow up like a balloon. Her cheeks look like she had two apples in her mouth

"Don't you pout, your face will stay like that and you'll look like Pancy, you remember her?"

Instantly Annie scrounged her nose in disgust. He would take that as a yes. Pancy was never her favorite person. The day she had met her, she had Max ruin her favorite skirt by leaving her a gift in her closet.

"Now go to bed" he told her pushing to her to the bed.

"Never!" she yelled before jumping over her bed and running into her closet.

Draco stood there and sighed catching Max's eye's when he looked up. "This is your fault you spoiled her" he told the cat as if Draco would get a response back from it. Though for a moment, he was sure Max understood since the black cat smirked. Draco sighed deeply. He needed to get some rest himself, he was imagining things. He walked over to the closet taking a deep breath before opening the door and jumping to the side.

There was nothing. He peeked his head to the since to find clothes. He moved his body away from the wall and was now facing the closet itself. "Annie?" he yelled in question walking into the closet. He moved some clothes away. Annie was nowhere in sight. He turned around and walked out. Though Draco was thrown back having something sticky hit his face.

"Uck!" he said having his robes wipe his face "What is this!"

"Mucous" said a voice from his side. Draco tried to open his eye but his vision was blurred. He saw a misshaped Annie, or something that looked like Annie sitting on her bed. "There you are woman" he said wiping his face. His nose caught a scent he wished not to smell. "What is this?" he said having his clean half cleaned.

"Mucous and some saliva"

Draco's eyes went from small to saucers in a minute. He quickly whipped his face furiously trying to get the gunk off. "How....the bloody hell you ge- no... never...mind" he said getting most gunk off. "I do not want to know where you got this"

"I collected it from the dragon's den" Draco's face paled. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO TELL ME!" he said running into her bathroom.

The cool sound of running water was heard and Draco's words gobbled up by the water as he tried to get any trace of the gunk.

Draco raised his head to find Annie standing at the doorway. "I guess you think this is funny?"

"Actually"
"Don't answer that"
"Draco . . ."
"What" He snapped at her. Annie's didn't like that.
"Ooh nasty little parrot tisk tisk no cracker for you"

Draco looked at his cousin in questioned. She stood there with her night gown on. For a moment he wondered how she was able to change. His cousin was such a strange girl.

"Go to bed Annie, I'll clean this up"
She didn't move.

"Annie go to bed, I promise I'll lay with you if you do"

Draco saw something in her eyes shift and turned from her post. She left the bath room leaving Draco alone. It took him a minute before he took one deep breath and sighed. "Scurgio" he said, pointing his wand at himself and making the gunk disappear.

Months, it had been months this had been going on now. Draco undid his shirt releasing the two first buttons. He ruffled his hair making it more of a mess covering most of his face. It had grown over the months he had been here. But then again, who has the time to cut hair when you're on a 24 hour watch.

He went back into the room finding her, there laying on her Egyptian silk covered bed, her toes barely touching the floor. His eyes examined her stopping at her hair, short stubbly brown hair to be exact. Draco felt pity for the girl. She had pulled out her own very hair. Voldemort had killed her parents in front of her, after that she tortured her own self by pulling out her one long mid back length hair. She was looking into space, Max her cat was rubbing on her arm. Now all she is only an empty shell.

He walked up to her; she slowly lifted her head up to see him. He nodded to her bed and she moved over to the middle being pulled softly into the pillows. Draco took off his shoes and climbed in with her. She moved in to him happily.

"Don't leave your feet dangling" she told him in a teasing voice.

He turned his head to see her looking at him.

"The dust bunnies will pull you into boogie world."

He raised his eyebrow and smiled. "Oh and what is in boogie world?"

"Purple gunk bunny monsters that make you dance on your hands and eat with you feet. Think about the toe fungus Draco! It's just horrid!"
Draco couldn't help but laugh. He moved his feet into the bed to make sure they were not dangling.

Happy?" she nodded. They laid there in silence until Annie broke it again.
"Draco?"
"Yes?"
"Do you like being Vol's butt monkey?"
Draco sat silently. He was choosing his words correctly. Knowing Annie, she would turn it into an episode form a cartoon.
"I just do what he orders"
"Then you're like Pinnocio."
"What?"
"A puppet"
"No I'm not"
"Your nose is growing"
"N-." Draco stopped in mid sentence seeing a toy twig on his nose. A red bird with a large beak pecking on his nose twig. Annie must have put it on when he was still thinking. He pulled it off.
"I'm not a puppet Annie"
"You do what he wills . . . you my dear blond boy . . . are a puppet."
"Annie don't be rid-"
"Termites" she said on cue. Draco felt the tingling sensation over his body. She must of summand them.
"Wh-AH! Anni-AH!, What the -AH! Bloody hell!" Draco jumped out of bed finding his body with red dots crawling all over him. Each leaving trails of bites. "Annie!" he said giving her a glare that could kill Voldemort himself.
Instantly the biting stopped, the pain relived. And all was left was a very angry Draco. "Annie enough games, you imbecile child. Voldemort is our leader, we do what he wish"

"Yes but you don't want to"

"OF COURSE NOT!" he yelled seeing her cringe. He softens his voice. "No Annie, I hate my life. My days at school, my friends, my family being held against their will...but there's nothing I can do. It's our life."

"Not if we play with new rules" she mumbled.

Draco confused tilted his head in question. Though he had no time to respond when a crash was heard. A sound that sounded like smashed windows and wood downstairs erupted. Both Annie and Draco stood from their spots. "Go hide" he told her. Annie ran off her bed grabbing Max along with her. She pulled on her blue cloak that hung on her chair.

She ran to go into her bathroom but was stopped by a hand grabbing her. She let out a yelp.

"Draco!" she yelled.
Draco turned to see a struggling Annie held by the arms against a familiar enemy. "Let her go Weasel" he said through his teeth. There was Fred Weasley holding onto a very distraught Annie. Max captured in a cage near Hagrid.

How the hell did they entered the room! He thought his fingers inching towards his wand. But someone had seen where his hand was going.

"Accio Malfoy's wand!"

Draco's wand flew out of his back pocket to Hermione Granger. But it was not her that shocks him. It was Harry Potter standing there as well. "Bloody Potter"

"Give up Malfoy" he warned him.
"Let her go she has nothing to do with this" he told them pointing at his cousin struggling against Fred. Fred was looking confused as the girl was wiggling like a worm. His eyes shifted back at Harry.
"Everyone apart of it"

Draco's eyes went to his cousin. She wasn't scared but angry. She would puff up her cheeks once in a while seeing it was no use and then start again to wiggle. Max was clawing against his cage making refusal meowing and growling sounds.

"There's no way you'll get out of here alive"

Draco smirked. "Accio wand" he said making the wand fly back to him.
They pulled out there wand at him all of them were at armed. "No!" they turn to harry. "This is my fight"

They moved to the side. Annie was still struggling. She looked back from harry to Draco. She then looked over to her cat. Take it for Annie to worry about her cat at a time like this.

"Scared Malfoy?" Harry asked intrigued. Draco looked back at him and smirked. He had asked the same thing back in second year.
"You wish..."
"AVADA KADAVA!"
"Expelliarmus!"

Bright green and red lights filled the room. Nothing could be seen. They last thing Draco saw was a man he never seen before knocking Fred away from Annie, once released he her, she called out to Draco. After that, it went black.
