Draco Malfoy. How do I describe that low life arsehole? He is the Slytherin Prince. Every girl has a least one thought about turning the bad boy into the perfect little good boy. I don't care who you are, even Hermione Granger has thought that way about Malfoy. I don't blame them. I mean look at the boy. He had the most perfect shaggy blonde hair with the grey eyes that bore into your soul. That smirk, the smirk could get any girl undressed in a matter of seconds. I can look past all of that. I have known him since I was three and he has been making my life hell sense.
"Ms. Tasso!" I snapped out of my daze and looked up at the Potion's master, Professor Snape. "Sorry sir." I muttered. "Please try not to day dream." He hissed leaning close to my face. I smirked; he wouldn't take points from his own house. He walked back towards the front of the class room and I went on copying notes. Before I knew it, the bell rung for the next class. I gather up my books, "You keep on day dreaming. Are you sure you are alright, Alex?" My best friend and only friend Daphne Greengrass asked for the millionth time. "I'm peachy. I guess that fight with Malfoy this morning really pissed me off." Draco Malfoy and I got in a huge fight this about who got a better Potion essay grade. It was stupid really, but nevertheless it still made me really mad.
"Day dreaming about me, Tasso?" A voice drawled behind me. I knew that voice all too well. "Malfoy, we both know that would be a nightmare!" Daphne chuckled but covered it as a cough as Malfoy shot a look at her. "Leave her alone, Malfoy." Potter snapped walking past us. I rolled my eyes and turned towards Potter. "Pothead, mind your own business before I shove that wand of yours up your arse. Come on, Daph!" I grabbed Daphne's hand and pulled her towards the Charm's class room. "I swear you could have any boy in this school with a snap of your fingers. I mean Merlin's beard, you have Potter on your side now." She said laughing by the look of disgust on my face. She placed her things on, on the desk in front of mine sitting down. She was paired up with Blaise Zabini. The funny thing was that Daphne had the biggest crush on Blaise. She's been in love with him since third year. Blaise strolled in and plopped down beside Daphne. "Hello Daph! And hello Alex!" Blaise grinned resting his head on Daphne's shoulder. Blaise was the biggest flirt, but I knew he thought of me as a little sister. I thought it was really funny that I found out last year that Blaise has also had a lifelong crush on Daphne. Hopefully soon Blaise would grow a pair and ask her out.
"Blaise, how are you? I didn't see you in Potions." I tried starting up a conversation when Malfoy plopped down beside. Oh, I didn't tell you that Malfoy was my partner? Well, the little ferret was. Malfoy draped his arm over the back of my chair and smirked when I glared at him. Professor walked when and placed an essay topic on the board. I looked at it quickly and began writing. I didn't really understand why all the Professors were being so lazy today. It's probably because it was Friday. Fifteen minutes went by when the doors opened and in walked Professor Snape.
"May I see Draco Malfoy and Alexandra Tasso?" I glanced at Draco and slowly gathered up my books following Snape out with Draco right behind. He led us up to Professor Dumbledore's office. I kept running through things I have done lately in my head to make sure I didn't do anything wrong. Nope, the only thing I have done bad lately was throw a hex towards Malfoy and Crabbe. And two Professors saw me do it and I didn't get in any trouble. So, I knew that wasn't why I was being called up to the Headmaster's office. I walked into the office and froze causing Draco to bump into me. I heard him gulp behind me and his face went blank of emotion.
"Father?" My father was chatting up Dumbledore while Lucius Malfoy was fists were clenched in his lap. "Alexander!" He got up and kissed me on the cheek. I was in shocked; my father was never this nice. Ever! "I need to talk to you and your brother. Where is Philip?" My father asked addressing Snape. My brother was a year older than me. He was a seventh year and my father's pride and joy. "He's in my office waiting. I knew Headmaster had a Ministry meeting. Now if you just follow me." My father wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I couldn't help but tense up. It was the beginning of the year and he was already at school scaring me. We walked slowly towards Professor Snape's classroom and the further we got away from Dumbledore's office the tighter my father gripped my shoulders got. I knew in the morning I would have a huge bruise. The second we stepped into Snape's office, my father slapped me as hard as I could causing me to fall back. My brother Philip jumped up from his chair and knelt down beside me.
"You just got here and you are already beating the shite out of her?" Philip yelled helping me up from the ground. The great thing about my brother was that he was always on my side. That's what I get when I have an over protective brother. I don't know how many times he saved my arse. I looked at Malfoy, he looked beyond shocked. I guess he didn't think my father would ever beat his perfect daughter. My father yanked back my robe, "What is that on your forearm?" He hissed. I looked down at the horrible tattoo that I was forced to get, I blinked back the tears and looked back up. I never wanted to get the Dark Mark. My father had screwed up big time. He was ordered to kill a muggle-born family. He was supposed to kill the mother, father, and their two sons, but my father screwed up. The mother was an extremely gifted witch and blocked the killing curse. My father only killed one son. Voldemort was furious. So as a punishment, Voldemort forced my brother and me to get the Dark Mark. I literally had to be held down in order to get mine. Of course after I put up a huge fight, I got punished for that later.
"Answer me!" He yelled snapped me out of my depressing thought. I swallowed and looked up to his cold dead eyes. "The Dark Mark" I whisper. He let go of me and pushed me back slightly. "When he calls you, you must answer correct?" I just nodded and stood as close to my brother as possible. "Draco, you were given a mission. Am I correct?" My father turned towards Draco. Lucius sort of pushed Draco forward. "Yes sir."
"Good, my daughter will help you. Philip needs to focus on school, but he will also help if you need him to." Draco just nodded. My father walked towards me and my brother. He kissed my bruising cheek and hugged my brother. "Behave." He walked out of Snape's office followed by Professor Snape and Lucius. The door shut and I dropped down into a plush dark green armchair. Philip knelt in front of me and quickly healed my cheek. I looked at Draco who was staring at me with a hint of pity in those steel grey eyes of his. "Don't look so shocked, Malfoy. I was the mistake, always have always will be." I muttered glaring at him. He walked closer to me and my brother leaning up against Snape's desk.
"My mission is to get Death Eaters into Hogwarts and I have to kill Dumbledore." My brother stood up with his jaw dropped to the floor. "How are you going to do that?" I asked standing up also slightly pushing my brother out of my line of view. "Vanishing Cabinet." He smirked.
"Malfoy, you do know you need another one." My brother said chuckling. When Draco's smirk didn't drop off his face, I had a feeling he already found the other one. "Where?"
"Borgin & Burkes." He smirked and Philip couldn't help, but to smirk too. "Take my sister to the one in Hogwarts now. I will have Snape write a letter to your Professors. Now get and take care of my sister or you will be in a world of pain." Philip hissed walking out of the room to find Snape. I looked awkwardly at Malfoy. He grabbed my wrist leading me out of the office. I was already starting to realize this mission was going be a pain.
