Something Real
A/N:
Ok here is the sequel (finally!). There are many reasons for not getting this up sooner but I know nobody wants to hear them, but I've finally cured my writer's block and the prologue is written. I know it's a bit short but it is just meant to introduce the plot - the rest of the chapters will be longer, I promise! Please read and review!!

Prologue
Dear Mr. Malfoy,
I have some news that I thought might be relevant to you. I am currently watching your son, Draco Malfoy, enjoy his breakfast with Ginevra Weasley. They have been smiling, kissing, and holding hands all morning, ecstatic to be together.
It has been rumoured that Headmaster Dumbledore and even the Weasleys approve of their relationship. I felt that it was my duty to report this to you, as I know that Malfoys do not like to fail. However, the scene that I am witnessing right now indicates that you have done so.
I hope that you will take the necessary steps to ensure that your wishes are respected and adhered to by your only son, Draco.
Sincerely,
A confused and distressed observer
Lucius Malfoy sneered with disgust as he read the letter that he had just received unknowingly from Harry Potter. Not only was he unsuccessful in killing his son Draco Malfoy, but his son was still with Ginevra Weasley. 'That stupid boy,' he seethed. 'He's a Malfoy, for Merlin's sake. If he had any sense, he would have realized his mistake by now. Well if he won't end their relationship, I will. A Malfoy never fails twice...'
Lucius Malfoy was livid, his thoughts overwhelmed by his latest scheme to tear Draco and Ginevra apart. 'If I can't kill Draco, then I will kill that Weasley trash.' With a grim satisfaction, Lucius proceeded to plan his revenge.
The vile Lucius Malfoy was sly, malicious, and vindictive. He was the epitome of the Slytherin stereotype; he would stop at nothing until he got what he wanted. More than that, he exemplified the perfect Death Eater. Lucius was a cold-blooded killer. He enjoyed watching people suffer under his merciless torture, and this was exactly what he had planned for the death Ginevra. And once he had finished with her, he would destroy Draco as well.
After he had finally decided on the means to get his revenge on Draco, Lucius realized that all he had to do now was escape from Azkaban. Neither Draco nor Ginny would have any chance at survival.
After racking his sly and manipulative mind for escape plans, Lucius realized that he could use his strange acquaintance with the 'confused and distressed observer' to his own advantage. He quickly scribbled a note in hopes of discovering the identity of this newly found 'friend'.
Confused and distressed observer:
I appreciate your concern and greatly value your assistance. However, your last letter has left me wondering. Why are you sending me this information? What will you gain by doing this?
Honestly, I have no real interest in your motives, but I do require your help. If we work together, there will be no hope for my son and his wench. Please send me your response quickly for time is of the essence. We must get to work immediately.

'Now all I have to do is wait...' Lucius thought deviously as he whistled quietly for his eagle. A great bald eagle flew up to the small barred window, grabbed Lucius' proffered letter in its beak and flew off, knowing exactly where it was headed.
Harry Potter was pulled out of his reverie when an unfamiliar eagle tapped its beak against the window to get his attention. Harry walked over to the large window in the deserted Gryffindor common room and wondered, 'Who would be sending me a letter at this time of night?' Harry was apprehensive as he slowly untied the scroll from the eagle's leg and gave the animal a treat.
He hesitantly unrolled the piece of parchment and scanned it quickly. 'What the hell?' Harry thought as he read the first line, 'Is this some sick joke? Someone must have intercepted my letter and thought they could have a laugh...' But as he continued to read, Harry's suspicious expression diminished and he smirked evilly. His thoughts began to plot yet another conniving scheme. 'If I help Lucius escape from Azkaban, we will be unstoppable...But how?'
Harry did not take rejection well, for he had lost too many things in his life. When Ginny had chosen Draco over him, something had snapped in Harry. Evil was responsible for every horrific event in Harry's life. And now, he had fallen in love with Ginevra Weasley, only to lose her to his most loathed enemy. Harry was left with only one solution – to turn to evil to get what he wanted. After all, he could have been a Slytherin if he had listened to the Sorting Hat.
Fuelled by his desire for revenge, Harry quickly thought of the perfect plan. 'Lucius and I will get rid of Draco and then I will be there to comfort Ginny. Somehow, I will try to seduce her. If she still refuses me, I will just have Lucius murder her too,' Harry considered as he laughed menacingly.
Harry responded to Lucius the next morning and their correspondence quickly became the basis of their strange partnership. They began to plan every last detail of their conspiracy, for they had both agreed to execute their scheme carefully. They only had one chance to make it work and both Harry and Lucius were desperate for success.
