Full Summary:
A post-war fanfiction - A group of Slytherins have formed and have devised a cunning plan, they've appointed a reluctant Draco Malfoy to undertake it. He must woo and gain the trust of the Gryffindor Princess, Hermione Granger, and then at a secret location will hold her hostage until the Ministry releases their Death Eater fathers. But will all go according to plan or will it be cut short? And where and when does the romance stuff take place?
Draco stood outside the Malfoy dungeons. This meeting was the last before the plan would be kicked into action, he had to admit he could see it completely failing, Potter and his sidekicks never lost. Never.
He waited for a few moments, and then pushed the wooden door open revealing a dark stony room. Blaise was stood next to the fireplace, shrugging off some Floo Powder and several other members sat around the long stilted table, they all looked up at him, some greeted him others didn't bother.
Draco gestured Blaise towards the table, "Zabini, sit sit." He paused as he checked to make sure everyone was present; Zabini, Bullstrode, Nott, Davis, Crabbe and Goyle. The main members of Slytherin Revolt- the group of Slytherin House youngsters who had devised a cunning plan, which would be undertaken in an attempt to have their fathers released from the Magical Prison of Azkaban. Though the main battle between Harry Potter and Lord Voldermort was over, its effects would be remembered by the victims on both sides.
Draco's best friend, Blaise seated himself and then Draco spoke, "Alright let's just get straight to it. I, with no surprise, have been awarded the position of Head Boy- though I plan on rejecting it-" Nott stood to protest, but Draco put his hand up to silence him, then gestured for him to sit down. "Though it will be further discussed by myself and Zabini, however, whatever happens nobody is to stray from the original plan under any circumstances, a single flaw can jeopardize the entire plot, ok?" He looked up and the Slytherins nodded feverishly, "anyone who does will be open for punishment and we've all agreed to that." They once again nodded in reply.
He sighed and then smiled slightly, receiving few warm smiles from his 'colleagues'. "Blaise, run briefly over the plan please." he said while seating himself on a chair.
Blaise stood, "The main aim of the plan is to have our families released from Azkaban, many of whom have been wrongly accused by the Ministry. We have chosen the Granger girl as the 'prey'." Many of the Slytherins smiled or laughed in response, Blaise choice of words matched those of Finer Greyback, the Death Eater werewolf ledged during a Death Eater meeting.
"She is well-known and the Ministry is sure to fight for her, especially when her friends Potter and Weasley find out. Draco and I will decide who will be elected to carry out the main section of the plan, wooing and gaining the trust of the mudblood, and then we'll keep her with the threat of death over her head, and force the Ministry to release our fathers. After that we will decide the fate of the mudblood based on how well she behaved and, well, judging on the moods we're in at the time!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The meeting was over, and all the members of the Revolt except Blaise had retreated to their own homes. The boys made their way up the stairs and into the main warm building of the Manor, both rubbed their hands together in an effort to warm them up, it seemed that after so many years of living in the cold Slytherin quarters, they still hadn't become accustomed to the nail-biting cold of the dungeons.
One thing was on both of their minds, Blaise broke the silence between them, "So, Drake what's this crap about rejecting position of Head Boy?" Draco continued to walk and avoided eye contact with Blaise; he knew this choice of his was seen as disrespectful and weak before Death Eaters, Slytherins and all of the other 'important' people. Blaise sensed this and spoke again.
"Just tell me Draco, no of that shame and weakness crap in front of me mate! You should know better than that!" He smacked Draco on the back in a brotherly manner; the awkwardness that had been present broke.
Draco sighed and ran his hand through his hair, "You and I both know that Granger will be Head Girl, and if I'm Head Boy then I'll definitely be doing the 'wooing' and 'trust' stuff. It'll never work." Blaise raised a brow, Draco sighed again, "Look, Blaise, Granger and I haven't had the best relationship, she'll probably clock on within two minutes straight and we'll be busted. So its best I reject the position."
Blaise exhaled noisily and concluded a short conversation, "Drake, you do know that even if you don't accept to be Head Boy, the group's gonna vote for you anyway.."
Draco muttered a couple of rude words, then let out a breath and shrugged his shoulders in defeat, "Ok, I'll think about accepting the position, though I really am dreading this now! Granger drives me crazy, can't stand her- but it is funny watching her face fall when I come out with those childish disses against her!" Both boys laughed and joked as they recalled events concerning the feeble arguments they'd had when they'd been younger, and less 'wise'.
Sometimes memories are the only thing that you have left of a person, and less often that person, is yourself.
A/N: Well... what did you think? Shall I continue writing or crawl into a dark hole? What do you think of the plot?
Is Draco and Blaise's relationship too much? What should Draco's initial reaction be when he sees Hermione? Any ideas? If so please share them with me!
