BOOK 1: How It Came To Be

Chapter 1 The Beginning:

"I have a great announcement I initiated my second hand man. But they will not gain the title easily. As you all know from experience when your initiated the first mission you go on will decide what you must take at our academy. Well that will take place tonight. He was initiated with the other kids. You will not know who they are till they've been assigned. Now Lucius you will lead the mission. DISPERSE all of those going tonight stay for some final instructions." I watched the group get up and started filing out as I moved to the front.

After the room was cleared, leaving only me and the requested few that where now sitting in the front two room, did Voldemort speak again. "Your mission is to raid the house at 94th Gamring street in London. You are to bring the children alive!! You may do what you wish with the parents. And remember my new friends your not aloud to kill leave that to Mr. Malfoy and the others. Tonight you only need to hurt, scare, and capture. You're dismissed."

I stood up with the others and made my way to the door. As we got into the hall I stopped to wait for my gather to come out. I watched the last death eater turn the corner and go out of sight. I leaned against the wall starting to think for the first time in days.

FLASH BACK

I stared at myself in the mirrors straightening my robes. Today was graduation I pinned the head girl badge to my robes. I did a double take and looked at the head girl badge. I carefully took it off making sure not to damage my good looks. I went out of my dorm across the common room and up to the head girls dorm. As I was about to knock the door flew open and there stood a livid Hermione Granger. 'She is so cute when she's mad' I thought then mentally slapped myself. "Looking for this?" I said sneering holding up her badge.

"Malfoy what are you doing with my badge? We're supposed to be down helping the teachers!" she grabbed the badge from me. As her fingers touched mine I felt my stomach become alive with butterflies, I pushed my feelings down. She handed me my badge and I pinned it on. We went down to the great hall. As we entered Professor Snape and Mcgonagle came up to us.

"Granger, Malfoy here are all the diplomas. Go alphabetize them by last name and house. I picked up three of the boxes and my dear Hermione picked up the others. We went to the dead table and opened the first box and right on top was the name Harry Potter. And as I was imagining burning it Hermione came to its rescue and snatched it up. As she pulled it out and examined it. I pulled out the next one Vincent Crabb. I magically opened the sealed envelope and looked at the contents. There was a rolled up piece of paper, a letter of acceptance, I wondered what job decided to hire him, and notes from all the teachers. I sealed the envelope back up. I put it in the Slytherin pile. I started sorting out the rest of the contents. When I was done I made my way over to Professor Snape. He was standing with the Minister of Magic from France.

"Aw here is the very man I wanted to see!" The minister said with a strong accent. "I've been hoping to tell your father thank you for his generous donation. Will you tell him for me?" I gave a nod of my head with a slight bow.

"My father is always willing to share where needed. Now if you'll excuse us minister I must talk to my professor for some last minute tips." I said bowing again.

"Of course, of course. We must talk some time Master Malfoy." The minister walked away. Not seeing my smirk. I turned to Snape who was looking at me knowingly. We made our way out into the great hall.

"You wished to see me sir?" I looked at Snape, Snape had been my father while in my stay at Hogwarts. Even more so than my real father had ever been to me.

"Yes I'm to tell you that tomorrow is your last day here."

"But sir I have a week left." I knew the reason behind it but I didn't want to admit it. The thought of following in my fathers footsteps terrified me. Not that I wanted to be a death eater irregardless.

"Your father believes you should be trained for you initiation. Now get ready for tonight." They both separated and went to their duties. I started going up the stairs, when I got halfway up I herd someone calling my name. I turned around to see Hermione running up to me

"There you are I've been looking everywhere. We're supposed to be practicing are speeches." she said on the verge of having a fit.

"What speech are you talking about (he glanced around making sure no one was around) Granger?" Since I had been with her my feelings have gone haywire. I had also started to treat her like an equal. Too bad she didn't feel the same.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT SPEECH DRA...Malfoy?!?!"

"You really want to call me by my name don't you. How about we make a deal?"

"What kind of deal?" She's starting to get suspicious I smirked.

"Nothing to drastic. Lets say which one of us says/calls the other person by there first name first. Than the other gets to have one unlimited wish."

"No way Malfoy."

"I thought Gryffindor's where supposed to be brave? I guess I was wrong."

"Fine I'll do it."

"Ok see you later. Don't forget about our appointment." I walked away.

That Night - 2 hours before graduation

I stared at the door that led to the room of requirements. I walked in to find Hermione waiting for me on the couch,

"Took you long enough Malfoy."

"Hey you can't rush perfection." I smirked at her.

"Look lets just get this over with."

"Without my payment?" unknown to most of the school. Hermione was being tutored by and tutoring me as long as she did one favor for me. But tonight was just to work on our speeches "Every time we meet I get a kiss you know that."

"I know." she leaned in as I captured her lips in mine. After a minute we broke apart. "I just hate doing it." I glared at her. She gasped and her eyes where going wide with realization. I turned around and started walking towards the door. "Malfoy...Malfoy... oh gosh Draco please..." I herd her stop in mid sentence. I turned slowly and stared at her.

"Very well. I'm going to get a little bit of sleep before graduation good afternoon. I bowed and walked out."

1 hour before graduation

I stared at the letter that I had received from my father. I opened it dreading what was contained.

Dear son,

As you know you are to be initiated as a death eater as soon as can be arranged. I well you mother and I need to tell you something of great importance. But it must wait. I'll see you tonight.

Lucius

(He never did tell me that news! Coming slightly out of my dreaming. Then going back in)

I stared at the letter. As I was staring at it another letter came to my mind. And than I knew what was bothering me all of my fathers past letter began with Dear son and Heir to the Malfoy Fortune, And ended with Your Father Lucius. I stared. What had made him stop his tradition? I listened as Hermione came down from the Head Girls Room and stopped. I turned and look at her.

"Something wrong?"

"Of course not!" she looks so cute when she's mad.

"Ok come sit down." I motioned to the empty seat next to me. She came reluctantly but she came.

"About the bet Draco. I'm not so sure I..."

"You're not backing out are you?"

"No...I'm just wondering what you had in mind."

"You'll see. But I can't guarantee that it will happen at school. Now come were going to be late." I grabbed her wrist and pulled her down the stairs and down to the room before the great hall.

I let go of my love and went over to the Slytherins. "Oh drakey I was worried you were going to be late." I closed my eyes in dread and turned to the one person I didn't want to talk to.

"Now why would I be late Pansy?"

"Because of your..." I was about to cut her off when Professor Snape did it for me.

"Line up Draco in back the rest of you alphabetical by last name after me." I looked around and noticed all four houses lined up alongside each other. Me and Hermione in the back. The Head of Houses in front of all of us. The doors opened and Professor Sprout led the Hufflepuffs in followed by Professor Flitwick leading the Ravenclaws. Then Professor McGonagle and the Gryffindors. Then Slytherins led by Professor Snape.

I stayed with Hermione. I peeked through the door and saw everyone sitting with the exception fo the teachers. They where standing in front of the head table. After everyone was settled down McGonagle went up to the stand that had been set up.

"Welcome parents and the graduating 7th years. The Head boy and girl have been asked to conduct this meeting. But I want to thank the head boy and girl for all their hard work this year. Now here they are." I looked at Hermione and saw her pale. I laughed at her and earned a glare in return. She opened the door and walked in., and I was right on her heels.

We reached the stand I stood beside it as Hermione began to speak. "Thank you all for coming I'm Hermione Granger and this is Draco Malfoy. We've asked four students to speak. So first we'll hear from Blaise Zabini of Slytherin house. Followed by Justin Fletchly from Hufflepuff. Than Harry Potter from Gryffindor and..." There were murmurs fo excitement in the audience. "And after Harry we'll be listening to Padma Patil for Ravenclaw." She sat down and I sat beside her. After a minute of listening to Blaise I started falling asleep.

DREAM

I was looking up the isle at a gorgeous girl in a wedding dress. When she reached me I looked around and noticed everyone was in black as was tradition. I heard the priest begin and looked at him but to my surprise it was soon to be master. "You may kiss your wife." I turned and was about to lift her veil and kiss her when I felt a jab in my side.

END

I woke up to see harry taking the stand and saw Hermione glaring at me. "What?" I mouthed

"Stop sleeping you making weird noises." she mouthed back I was about to reply when Harry started his "speech"

"Hogwarts has been my home the past seven years. And the majority of you knew and know more about me then and now than I did or do. And all of you have helped me more than you know. And I swear Voldemort" there was a shudder through the crowd. "Voldemort will pay for his crimes." I smirked and watched him sit down. Padma got up and she fainted and everyone was laughing. Hermione jumped up and started talking.

"Please settle down we're going to start the ceremony. Please come up as your name is called."

THE NEXT DAY

"I'm leaving and you can't do anything just remember your debt to me." I was whispering in Hermione's ear. I was laying on her bed feeling exhausted. After last night me and her had bade goodnight. As I was getting into bed I heard her scream. I ran into her bedroom. She looked at me then fainted. I ran and caught her before she hit the ground. I picked her up and laid her on the bed. I turned to leave but something stopped me. I turned around and my eyes locked with Hermione's.

"Please stay." I did. I laid on the bed next to her we fell asleep.

"Why are you leaving though?" We had decided we were friends when we had woken up.

"How about we trade. You tell me what scared you. And I'll tell you about why I'm leaving."

"I'm not sure I was getting into my pj's and I saw... I saw the dark mark. It scared me. Than it moved onto my arm and It burned me. When you came in I saw..." she went silent.

"You saw??" I was intrigued.

"I saw the dark lord." she went silent.

"I'm leaving because my dad wants me to be home for my mother's sake." I hated not telling her everything but after what she had told me. I also hated that I had to leave. If I could stay with her. "And I'll get my payment from you. I have to go now." I stood up and walked out the door and to Snape's room. He gave me flu powder and I went home.
