What I am when I am with you Chapter 1: Blackmailed into friendship
31st August
Hogwarts will start again tomorrow. Draco would go to his seventh and final year.
He stepped out of the shower and put a towel around him.
'Merlin, why did she do it ? Why ? And why her ? She hates me !' Draco thought.
Flashback
It was the summer after Draco 5th year that he was forced to join the Death Eater ranks that Christmas. It was true, Draco despised muggles and mudbloods but didn't want them dead either. If they let him be and he didn't have to acknowledge they were alive it was all fine by him.
But being a Death Eater meant that he must kill them. Kill them in the name of Voldemort. To take out Voldemorts orders.
Draco isn't one to take orders, he gives orders. He didn't have a choice, it was a life as a puppet for Voldemort or the life of his beloved mother. Yes, he loved his mother and so he joined.
The 26th June into his 6th year the Death Eaters were called upon by the Dark Lord. Now that the exams, including the 5th years OWLS and the 7th years NEWTS, were done, the students would be relaxing and unprepared to an attack.
Draco fell the pain on his arms and slipped away from his friends to go to the Death Eater-meeting. Draco knew that there were other Slytherinstudents among the cloaked figures.
'I wonder, are Blaise, Pansy, Gregory and Vincent here?'
Any following thought had to wait because Voldemort had made his appearance.
"My followers, the day that we make an end to the war and win, is come. This battle is the most important of them all. Today, this afternoon at 14.00, we are going to attack Hogwarts. We have to be alert and have no mercy. Keep an eye out for Potter and that old fool Dumbledore. It is now 13.50. Victory is for us!" He said.
The Death Eaters turned and walked the long pad towards Hogwarts. At the end of the forest they waited until everybody was there and then attacked.
Chaos and panic was among the students. Unforgivables were flying around like flies around a pile of shit. Some students had started to fight back.
'Of course the Great Harry Sodding Potter and his sidekicks are fighting back. No surprise in that. Dean Thomas and the Irish one, the Patil sisters and Lavender Brown, Luna 'Loony 'Lovegood, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Neville 'potiondisaster' Longbottom. Like I thought, mostly stupid Griffs.' Draco thought. He observed it all from the border of the Forbidden Forest.
He then saw a flash of auburn red hair coming towards him. It was the littlest Weasel, wand ready to hex him. He still remembered her Bat Bogey hex and took the duelling pose.
"Filthy Death Eater!" she said
"Filthy? You're one to speak, a poor filthy Weasley!"
"Don't make fun of me!"
"Why not, it's so fun to do it." Draco smirked behind his mask.
Ginny send her Bat Bogey hex after him, but Draco dodged and got further into the forest. Ginny followed him but couldn't find him anywhere.
'Where is that Death Eater? If I get my hands on him I'll ...'
Her thoughts were stopped by a noise from somewhere behind the bushes on her right.
"Stupid Voldemort, obey me and kill mudbloods!!! Aargh, let them live for all I care. What if all mudbloods and mugglelovers are dead, kill the muggles! Hah! What a world it would be, 100 people living on a planet were there just to be billions of people! Doesn't he have a brain!?!" Draco ranted.
"Bloody world, why am I still alive?" He sighed and took of his mask and threw it down.
Ginny gasped at seeing Draco. Draco turned around and was shocked to see the youngest Weasley.
"Draco Malfoy, who would believe it was you saying those words?" Ginny spoke first.
"What do you care Weaslette?" Draco said angrily
"I don't care, but it changes a lot"
"Like what? You can blackmail me now, I don't care Weaslette. Go ahead."
"No, not ..."
"Ginny where are you!?!" came Rons voice.
"Ron's coming! Go!" Ginny said to Draco
"What?"
"Go!"
"Why? Why do you let me go? Why..."
"Shut up and go!" she said "NOW!"
Draco run off and disappeared behind the trees just as Ron came into vision.
"Gin, are you ok?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm fine"
"Why are you here?" he asked suspiciously
"I-I run away from a Death Eater" she stumbled, knowing Ron would get mad if he knew she went after one.
"It's ok sis. C'mon let's get back" he smiled
Draco looked from behind the trees as the two redheads walked away. Ron's arm around his siblings waist.
End flashback
Draco never spoke with the littlest Weasel after the attack, mainly because she ignored him are always made sure she wasn't alone when she was in his neighbourhood.
Tomorrow school will start again and he would make sure he could talk to her. He wanted to know why she let him go, after all he was a Death Eater. But for now he just wanted to sleep.
Next morning
Draco woke up and went down, only to find a strange scene going on. His father was holding his mother in his arms and was kissing her with ...love??
Draco never has seen his father as the loving husband and dad. His mother told him it was all Voldemorts fault.
cough cough
His father immediately let go of his mother.
"Draco, you're up early"
"Well, school's starting again today" Draco answered politely
"Of course. I hope you deliver your house the House Cup this year boy?"
"I'll do my best"
"Your best isn't enough"
"What more can I do"
Draco and his father always fought. And this time was no exception.
"Lucius, Draco. Stop it this instant" Narcissa scolded
"Yes, dear"
"Yes mother"
"Draco, eat your breakfast or you're going to be late"
"Yes mother"
"Lucius dear, you're going to be late also if you don't leave now."
"You're right"
He kissed his wife on the cheek and Draco thought he heard him whisper "Don't forget to give the boy our present. And be careful while you're alone ok?"
"I will" Narcissa whispered back and kissed her husband goodbye.
Lucius disapparated.
"Draco, this is a gift from your father and me. We want you to use it carefully and responsibly."
She gave Draco a package. He opened it and something silvery came flowing out. It was a cloak. An Invisibility cloak.
"Mother?" Draco asked surprised
"Your father believed you worthy of it"
"Father?"
"Yes, he believes you to be mature enough not to use it for stupid pranks"
"He probably just want me to have it so I can sneak away easier to the Death Eaters meetings. Well, I don't need it!" Draco said angrily
"No dear, your father didn't gave it to you with those intentions. You must believe me" Narcissa said desperately, trying to convince her son that her husband wasn't that bad, that he did love his son.
"I'll except it mother, but only for you"
He stood up, gave his mother a kiss on her cheek and said he had to go. He flooed to Kings Cross Station and boarded the train. He was looking for an empty compartment but didn't find any. In the last compartment were only two persons sitting. His best friend Blaise Zabini and a girl. They were talking and laughing but stopped to see who came in.
Draco saw that the girl was nobody else but Ginny Weasley. Both Blaise and Ginny wore a horror stricken face.
"Draco, it is not what you think mate, Ginny and I..." Blaise started explaining
"It's no business of mine what you are doing with Weaslette" Draco smirked.
"You mean you're not mad or disgusted with me"
"No, I'm not. May I sit in here, everywhere else is full"
"Euhm, sure, but Ginny will stay here also"
"Of course"
Blaise nor Ginny knew why Draco accepted the two of them, though Ginny had an idea. What Draco didn't know, was that his best friend was not a Death Eater but has joined the Order of the Phoenix last year during Easter. Strange enough Blaise his father, Zacharias Zabini, didn't disown him, nor banned him out of the house.
Zacharias Zabini and Lucius Malfoy are good friends. Their sons, both of the same age, were playing together from a young age and are still best friends. But with Draco becoming a Death Eater and Blaise becoming a member of the Order, secrets came between the friends and they distanced from each other. Draco became a loner and Blaise began to spend much time with Ginny, they became friends.
Blaise found this a good opportunity to see if the friendship between him and Draco still existed. And maybe even make Draco and Ginny form a friendship.
"Well, Draco, how was you're vacation" Blaise asked
"Fine I guess, nothing abnormal. Yours?"
"Great actually, Ginny and I have spend our vacation together. We had the same destination: Japan"
Draco felt jealous. Blaise had a wonderful vacation.
'With a beautiful witch at that. Where did that came from? Weaslette isn't beautiful.'
Draco felt compelled to look at Ginny.
'She is pretty though, curves in the right places, a pair of big round breasts, her hair was darker then in her first years at Hogwarts and some freckles even had become lighter. She has changed'
Draco realised that he was staring at Ginny, and she had also realised it. Before she had a chance to speak he said: "So, Japan. How on Earth could your family afford it"
Ginny became angry.
"With the award the ministry gave us for defeating Death Eaters" she answered smirking.
Draco gulped.
"Dragon, are you ok mate? You look paler then usual." Blaise asked
"Yeah, feeling fine" Draco answered.
He looked at Ginny. She looked at him. They silently agreed not to say anything about the incident though Draco had to be polite. In other words: Draco was being blackmailed into being nice, into a strange friendship.
