New story. I own nothing. Enjoy!

"What do you want Malfoy?" Harry said to me calmly.

"I need your help," I said with a sneer.

"My help," he said smiling, "Why would you need my help?"

"Can we talk alone?" I asked motioning to his friends.

"No," he said happily, "I'm quite content being right here."

"Fine," I said angrily, "I save him myself."

I started to storm off only to realize that I can't go there myself. If they knew that I was in love with this boy then they would kill him on the spot. They were torturing him right now though.

"Wait," Hermione said grabbing my arm, "Save who?"

"Lucas," I said softly, "Lucas Giovinazzo."

"Come on," Hermione said motioning for me to follow her, "All of you."

We walked through the castle grounds and ended up behind Hagrid's Hut. I wasn't sure that this was the safest place, but Hermione looked sure of herself. Anyway this meant I could talk to them in private.

"Why do you need my help?" Harry asked slowly.

"Because Lucas is being kept as basically a whipping boy for the Dark Lord," I said sadly, "I can't go get him myself or he'll be killed instantly, but I know that he's being tortured as we speak. I hoped that you would help because he's just an innocent Muggle."

"An innocent Muggle?" Ron said wide eyed, "Who are you and what have you done with Malfoy?"

"Very funny," I said sneering, "I thought maybe you would help. If I was wrong tell me now so I can leave."

"You're not wrong," Hermione said smiling, "We'll help you as much as we can, but we're going to need the whole story."

"It's a long story," I said running a hand through my hair, "Can we go someplace a little more comfortable?"

"Sure," Harry said nodding, "The Room of Requirements."

"Aright," I said walking to the castle with them in toll.

It was weird walking with the Golden Trio and I knew that people were staring, but since it was Christmas Break no one that could ruin everything saw me with them. I don't think I would care if they did though.

To me the only thing that mattered was Lucas. I had to find away to save Lucas before it was too late. If I found out he was dead I don't actually know what I would do to myself.

Once we got to the Room of Requirements I sat down in the chair that faced a three person couch. Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat down and waited patiently while I got my thoughts in order.

"Lucas is a boy I met when I was in Italy," I said softly, "He was the son of the owner of this restaurant that I loved to go to. Everyday I would go to the restaurant and everyday we would share a meal together. I knew that soon it was going to be time for me to leave, but I didn't want to think about that.

Since we spent so much time together I told him that I was a wizard. I expected him to be scared and run, but he didn't. He just smiled and asked if I made potions. I said that I wasn't very good at potion making and he said that if I ever needed help he'd help me. I guess that was his way of saying he's okay with me being a wizard. I was so happy right then.

We ended up being boyfriends before the school year started and I had to go back home. I promised to write everyday, and I did. Then my father told me that I was to get the Dark Mark. I refused at first, knowing that I never wanted that. My father just laughed and said that I would do it whether I wanted to or not.

I didn't know what he meant. Then I saw him. Lucas was tied up against the wall in the dungeon of the Dark Lords house. I was so scared and I knew that Lucas was too, although he was trying to hide it. Father said that if I didn't get the mark Lucas would die. I couldn't let that happen. So I took the mark.

After I hoped he would just let Lucas go, but he didn't. Father threw Crucio curse at him a few times. I begged my father to stop, but he wouldn't. Not until Lucas screamed, but he wouldn't. Lucas didn't scream once. He was crying his eyes out, but he never screamed.

When I was here I knew that they were still torturing him, but then I thought that maybe you would help me save him. Please, help me save him. I can't let him die. I love him too much to even think about living knowing he's dead. He might hate me for this later and never talk to me again, but at least he'll be alive. Please help me."

The three of them stared at me in awe. I knew that I never came off as the type of person to do the whole love thing, but I didn't like the way they were looking at me. Ron and Harry might not believe me, but Hermione sure did.

"How do we know you're telling the truth?" Ron asked crossing his arms.

"I'll take Veritaserum," I said instantly.

"You will?" Harry asked slowly.

"Yes," I said nodding, "I don't care what you have to do to find out that I am telling the truth, just please do it quickly."

"Okay," Hermione said standing up, "Let's go to the Headmasters office."

"Why?" Ron asked confused.

"If anyone can tell if someone is lying it's the Headmaster," she said rolling her eyes, "Now come on."

I smiled at Hermione and started to walk to the Headmasters office. It was a pretty long walk and it seemed to be even longer with Harry and Ron staring at me. I really just wanted to be alone, but I knew that this had to be done.

We got to the office and went up the stairs. After waiting awhile the door opened and showed Dumbledore sitting behind his desk. A smile adorned his face like normal, although this one seemed a little different then before.

"I was waiting for you all to come," Dumbledore said smiling, "Come, let's go to the Black Manor."

I didn't have time to say anything before I was being pushed into the fireplace and appearing in the Black Manor. I looked around the room and saw that it was the living room.

Remus Lupin and Sirius Black sat on the couch and watched as we all came in. Remus and Sirius happily greeted everyone, except me. I wasn't expecting to be greeted happily though.
