Previously:
Do the Malfoys have any rivals?"
"Funny thing you ask. Yes, we do. Why do you ask?"
"I just something about it in Hogsmeade, who are our rivals?"
"The family of the Whites. Now leave, I'm a busy man." Okay, well that didn't help Draco much.

Trinity's week was uneventful since the first night she lived here, and she was grateful. She mainly helped her mother decorate the house, and that was a big week project. Then she would redecorate her room till it was just right. In her opinion, her bedroom had the best view of the gardens and she could even glimpse the neighbors house and what was in there backyard…was that a quidditch pitch? She would have to introduce herself soon.
Well, she did meet the former house owners, if you would call that eventful. The Parkinsons were probably the most annoying family she had ever met, especially their daughter, Pansy.
(Flashback)
"Trinity, come down here please. The Parkinsons will be here shortly." Her father shouted. Trinity rushed down the stairs as the doorbell rung. Their butler ushered John, Corinne and Pansy in. When Pansy caught sight of Trinity, she grabbed her wrist and started up the stairs into Trinity's room.
'How the hell does she know where my room was?"
"Hello, I'm Pansy and you must be Trinity."
"Obviously." Trinity said a little sharply. Pansy glared for a moment.
"Yeah, well what do you want to do for the next three hours?"
'She really messed up in the head. Threes hours, this is going to be hell.'
"Do you know what house you are in at Hogwarts?" Pansy asked.
"Um…Slytherin. What school are you going to now?"
"Durmstrang. What do you want to do?"
'Thank god. No pansy at school. AWESOME!'
Trinity was actually going to try out her new broom, a firebolt ascender. It was the fastest broom out there. She was going to use it for try outs.
"Do you fly, Pansy?" Trinity asked, hoping to use her broom tonight.
"Ew, no." She said snottily.
"So I take it that you don't play quidditch?"
"EW, no. Slytherin girls don't play quidditch!" Trinity raised her eyebrows, but didn't reply back.
'That's gonna change very soon. Mwahaha.'
"Did you know that my Drakie-Poo was made Quidditch Captain for Slytherin this year?"
"Who is your Drakie-Poo?" She asked trying really hard not to laugh.
"Draco. He is like the hottest guy in Hogwarts. And a secret between you and me, he is really, really good in bed."
"Pansy, I really didn't want to know about that." Trinity picked up a book she had gotten when she was in Diagon Alley after getting her new broom. Pansy looked disgusted that this girl was reading a book instead of talking to her, like she was the most important person in the world. Pansy found some nail polish and started painting her toe nails. She kept talking, Draco this and Draco that. Annoying much, finally it was time for Pansy to leave.
"Bye Pansy."
"Bye Trinity."
She waved and watched the Parkinsons apparate away to their new home in Russia. When they were gone, Trinity started skipping in circles shouting "NO MORE PANSY" at the top of her lungs.
(Present time)
It was the day she was looking forward to, the day she would get to hang out with a certain pair of red headed twins. She apparated to Hogsmeade and walked into Zonko's. She instantly saw the red hair, but the twins weren't alone. They were with 3 other people. Five in total: Fred George, another red head, a boy with a lightening scar on his forehead and a girl with brown bushy hair. The bushy hair girl and the new red headed boy seemed to be a couple for they were holding hands.
"Aye, George, she's here. Oy Trinity, over here. " Fred said pointing to Trinity who walked over.
"Trinity, this is Ron, our brother, and Hermione Granger, they're a couple, so they will be ogling each other all day." George explained. Trinity couldn't help but smile. 'How cute is that?'
"And this is Harry Potter." Potter, potter, where has she heard that name, she heard it somewhere, but where.
"It's nice to meet you all. I'm Trinity."
"How about you four go do something and meet us in an hour?"
"Alright. May I?" Harry asked as he held out him arm for Trinity. She linked arms with him.
"You may. So where are we going?"
"How about a butterbeer at the three broomsticks."
"Okay." They walked there and found a booth in the crowded bar.
"Where did you come from? I don't recognize you from anywhere here." Harry started conversation.
"I'm from the state, California.
"How old are you?" Harry asked.
"Well I just turned seventeen a week ago."
"Oh, so are you going to Hogwarts?"
"Yea, do you go there too?"
"Yes, I'm in Gryffindor." He noticed that Trinity frowned when she heard that.
"What house are you in, Trinity?"
"Umm…Slytherin."
"What does it matter what houses we're in, I like you to much to care. Would you be my girlfriend?"
"Oh I don't know, I have to think about it. Um, who is that?" Trinity gasped, she just wanted to change the subject. The guy that walked in reminded her of a younger Lucius. She shivered. He saw her eyes moved to the door, where Draco Malfoy stood looking around.
"That's Draco Malfoy, wannabe Death Eater."
He caught a glimpse of Potter. He smirked and walked over and also finding Ron and Hermione in a snogging session on the other side of the table.
"I see the blood traitor and the mudblood are together, seeing as they can't get anyone else. No one wants a poor pureblood or a piece of filth."
Okay Trinity didn't like his kid at all. He reminded her too much of Lucius.
"Sod off Malfoy. No one wants you here. "Potter hissed.
"Ah, Potter, I see you got yourself a whore too." He drawled, acknowledging Trinity. Okay Trinity really didn't like this kid. She stood up and had her wand put to his neck in a matter of seconds, before anyone knew what happen. The whispers of the bar quieted.
"Say it to my face, Malfoy. Call me a whore and see what happens. " Her wand was in her left hand, forearm exposed: showing Malfoy her 'white mark'.
"You're a white!" he accused her.
"Not just a white." Trinity heard the door open, where Lucius was now staring at her.
"Shit." Trinity murmured. Draco heard her and turned to see his father walking towards them. He smirked, but that dissolved very fast by the look on Lucius's face towards his son.
"I'm sorry Trinity, for my son's behavior." Lucius bowed. Everyone in the bar was surprised. He didn't bow to anyone but the dark lord. Draco and Trinity were wide eyed. They caught each others eye and he knew she had no idea what Lucius was doing.
"Your uncle, Trinity, has requested your presence immediately. If you will follow me please."
"Sure, bye guys, I think it would be best if I didn't miss this meeting (turning to the Trio) I'll talk to you in a couple of days, at school. Tell the twins I said bye."
"Bye, Trinity." She gave Harry a hug and quickly whispered that she will explain everything at school. She walked out followed by Draco and Lucius. Lucius took the lead as he took them to the apparating spot. Draco glared at her profusely. Even through she was in front of him, she could feel his eyes on her. She turned around abruptly, causing Draco to bump into her.
"Why do you keep glaring at me?" Trinity snapped. He just glared down at her still. They were centimeters apart, reminder her of that time with Lucius. 'But this Malfoy is different' she thought. Anyways she noticed that he was quite taller than her 5'7. She pushed him away from him, catching him by surprise, causing him to stumble several feet from her.
"YOU ARE SUCH A… AH, I CAN'T EVEN THINK OF A BAD ENOUGH WORD, SO LETS JUST SAY, YOU ARE SUCH A PRICK!" Trinity yelled loud enough, the whole main street heard. She could hear Fred and George shouting stuff like 'you go girl' and 'tell the ferret what he deserves' , but she didn't pay any attention to them because she was staring at cold gray eyes and he stared into fiery brown ones. Trinity felt a hand on her shoulder and she looked up breaking her and Draco's staring contest, to see Lucius.
"Trinity, sweetie, go behind Honeydukes. That is where the apparating point is and then go to your home. He is waiting there for you." 'Since when did Lucius call anyone sweetie?' Draco thought and that was the exact same thing the girl was thinking. Trinity wanted to gag.
"Lucius, why are you being kind to me? You of all people should be showing wrath to me. I hurt you badly and I didn't want to. I'm truly sorry and I didn't want to do it." Trinity stated.
"I understand, but your uncle will not be happy if you are late. And I need both of you to be on your best behavior." They nodded. Draco looked confused and Trinity knew she would have to tell him the truth, for he had a right to know. She gave a look like she wanted to talk to him about something, but you will always be my worst enemy. He nodded briefly showing he understood her.
"Oh please, you act like my mother." She mumbled about Lucius to herself, apparently Draco heard her and tried to cover a laugh with a cough. She turned towards him while they were walking to Honeydukes, to see a crooked smile and she murmured 'well he is'. He had a full smile now. She liked his smile. 'I can't be thinking this, he is a Malfoy. Arughh." And she mentally slapped her self for even thinking good things about a Malfoy.
They were in the back now and she was to meet someone who could make her meet her doom and she was to be stuck with Draco Malfoy, for no one knows how long. 'Oh great'.
--
She apparated to her home and waited for the others. Trinity heard a pop and she could see both Draco and Lucius heading towards her. She began to the house and she could tell that something was happening for she could hear her uncle's voice yelling at a group, his fellow death eaters apparently. She swung the doors open to see the Death Eaters in a big circle. She stood by the door as Lucius and Draco walked to the circle. Draco spared a glance to Trinity. She frowned.
Then she heard the noise that would haunt her dreams for months on end. A horrifying scream of pain. She ran to the circle saying lots of 'excuse me' and 'pardon me' till she was in the front circle and gasped at the sight in front of her. There in front of her were three people getting tortured by death eaters. Two were muggles but she couldn't see the other one. She could hear the Death eaters jeering at the muggles.
"How do you like the pain, Granger?" Lucius sneered at the male muggle he was tortured. It kicked in her mind that the muggles were Hermione's parents. She decided to leave that for now and see who the other victim was. She saw Draco standing watching who the Dark Lord was torturing. She walked on the edge of the inner circle, and decided to stand next to Draco. He didn't bother looking at her. She saw who the dark lord was cursing and tears fell from her face. Her mother was on the floor writhing in pain and she was taking the pain in silence, not giving Lord Voldemort the satisfaction. She was proud of her mother. She asked a near by death eater how long they have been at it and he said about 10 minutes and she knew that se had to stop it. She took a few paces to the center of the circle out of reach of Draco's hand that was trying to pull her back so she didn't get cursed too. He obviously didn't know who was her uncle was.
She walked in front of him so it was like him, then her withering mother and then herself. She coughed to get her uncle's attention. He looked up breaking the curse on her mother but she also noticed that the other two death eaters that were torturing the muggles looked up breaking their curses too.
"Trinity, why are you here so earlier?" She glanced at Lucius and she saw fear in his eyes and she knew that if she told the truth, he was the one to pay for it. She still owned him for torturing him, herself. It was a good thing that Voldemort didn't notice the glance. Draco did and his hands were in fist, nervous what this Trinity girl would say. If she said his father told her to come, then Lucius and Draco were both screwed.
"Honestly Uncle, I didn't know that it was bad to come home earlier than curfew. I didn't know that it would be a problem." She smirked. Draco's eyes were bulging out of his eye sockets. Trinity saw this and tried very, very hard to resist the urge to laugh at Draco's expression. She paid attention to her uncle again.
"Ah, well I'm truly sorry you had to see this." Voldemort hissed.
"Uncle Tom, why were you torturing my mother?" She asked crossing her arms across her chest. Most of the Death Eaters were waiting for Voldemort to kill this little girl, including Draco and Trinity. She felt like she had cross the line to much this time, that her uncle would really kill her this time, 'but hey I was defending my mum, so I would have died for a good reason.' She thought.
"Why do you think, Trinity?" He hissed. Trinity had a pretty good idea why too.
"It's because she is a White, someone on the light side, someone that goes against your ideas of … fun. I have news for you, Uncle: I am a White too. Why don't you torture me?" Now she knew she was just asking for it and so did every person in there.
"I will not let anyone harm you including myself." She rolled her eyes. Her father harms her all the time and she doesn't see him doing anything about it.
"Do not roll your eyes at me, or your precious car and broomstick is gone, understood?"
"Yes, sir. And now I will be taking my mother. I will be back." She took her wand and levitated her mother to her room. She put some classical music to make the death eater think she is resting. She also put on music so it would be able to hide her pop noise when she was going to apparate. She will be leaving today, no matter what anyone said. She was going to get her mother out of this house.
First, she summoned two house elves, Carshy and Dukey. These were her favorite house elves.
"Carshy, I need you to pack everything I need for school in my trunk. I need it done in 5-8 minutes top. Please, hurry."
"Yes, mistress." And he was gone.
"Dukey, I need you to pack some of my mother's things for a couple months. You have 5 minutes, hurry."
"Yes ma'am." And he started. 'Thank goodness, elves are fast. Now where is that ring? I read that I will make me unplottable. No one will know where I go. ' She rushed into her room to find that Carshy had already cleared everything. She found her trunk on her bed, next to her broom stick. She shrunk them so they fit them in her purse that had her ipod and magical charger. She also found the ring in her purse and put it on. She was officially undetectable. She ran to her mother's room and found her still unconscious. She found her mother's trunk packed next to her bed, she shrunk that and put it in her purse. She walked her mother's safe and grabbed all the money, mostly gallons, and a lot of them. She made sure that her purse was tightly closed. She wrote a note to her uncle.
Uncle Tom,
I just want you to know that I am safe and for you not to worry. My mother is safe no thanks to you. I just want to let you know I am still thinking of your preposition on becoming a death eater; I just really need time to think about it. Please don't bother looking for me. It is your fault that you will not find me soon, thanks to your wonderful ring.
Your niece,
Trinity
"Carshy, I need you to take this note and when I leave with the mother, and put it on my bed. Then make sure my car is in front of the Malfoy home and behind the big stone gate, where no one from the house can see it. Get the keys and leave them in there, keep it running, and leave the car door open. But first make sure that there are no detectable charms on it, so no one will know where it is at. I need you to stay in the car, but out of sight, from anyone but me. I need you to bring my father's invisibility cloak. Understood?"
"Yes, mistress. I won't be coming back, will I?" She wasn't going to get these elves killed for helping her. They will probably work at Hogwarts from now on.
"I don't think so. I need the car there in 10 minutes tops. Now, hurry." And Carshy left.
"Dukey, I need you to get my owl, Aiken, and apparate him to Hogwarts and take him to Dumbledore. So just apparate to his office and set Aiken down and tell Dumbledore that his help is needed in the Alleyway next to Zonko's. Then I need you to come back and make a portkey out of a wooden spoon you to use to escort a muggle to the alleyway. Put it outside the dungeon door so there is enough room. Make it so that it can be use anytime. Can you do that?"
To get to the Dungeon, you had to go outside to get to the entrance door.
"Yes ma'am."
"Okay go." And Dukey was gone. She hoped that neither one got caught. She quickly walked to the door and listen to see if anyone was coming, no one was coming. She looked at the clock and noticed it took her 10 minutes to organize that. She was impressed. 'Be impressed later, save people now.' She thought. She grabbed her mothers hand and apparated them to Zonko's. She put her mother in the alleyway far enough so no one could see her from the street and she ran as fast as she could into Zonko's. She was instantly met by the twins, who were her only hope right now.
"Fred, George, I need you help!" They knew by the serious look on her face, that it was urgent. They followed without a word. She ran into the alleyway, with them on her heels. She ran till she was in front of her mother. When the twins saw her, they gasped.
"What is going on?" Fred asked.
"I'll explain later. I believe that Dumbledore is on his way. I need one of you to be at the street looking for him and another one back here, just in case she becomes conscious. She will want to know where she is. Tell Dumbledore that there will be more people coming. Here is my purse, it has everything I need. Don't lose it please. Don't tell Dumbledore anything about me yet, just don't mention me at all. I trust you." They nodded and George started for the street. Trinity apparated back to her mother's room and saw the radio was still on, so she kept it on. She quickly thought of anything else she needed. Nothing. She walked out and heard the screams still. She gulped, and finally was able to look calm and collected; she knew how much danger she was in. She walked back out there and went to stand next to Draco. Voldemort saw her and nodded his head as if to say he knew she was here and wasn't going to do anything. She looked up to Draco.
"So Draco, what are they doing with the Grangers?"
"Well, they just put the Cruciatus Curse on the male for life. So he will be in pain till he dies from it and they put a charm on him so he won't go unconscious till he does die," He smirked down on her, but in his eyes, she could tell he was disgusted.
"And they just stopped doing the curse on the female." Trinity took this as her chance. She looked around and spots Dukey nodding, meaning the portkey is ready. She walks to her Uncle.
"So Uncle, I have been thinking. I might really want to be a death eater." Her uncle turned with a deformed smile upon his face.
"Really?"
"Yes. So I was wondering if I could use this filth for targeting practice."
"Hmm… well you won't be able to use the male for he is cursed for life. But the female will help. When do you want to get started?"
"Soon, but not now. I want her to be semi-healthy so I can see how bad my curse will affect her."
"Excellent idea, who wants to take them to the dungeon?" He asked.
"Oh, can I, Uncle? I want to get use to the screams. I will just have a house elf help me with the male, but I want to remember this moment by myself. Please, can I?"
"Of course, my wonderful niece." He patted her head when Dukey came and already started levitating Mr. Granger to the kitchens and outside.
"Bye, uncle." She gave him a quick hug and he hugged her back, getting a lot of gasps. She followed Dukey, who was already at the port key. As she saw the pain of Mr. Granger, she knew there was one way to put him out of his misery.
"Avada Kedavra!" she shouted and instantly his screams died down. She never killed anyone before. He was gone and Trinity didn't want to do it, but she didn't know any other way to make him not suffer. She felt horrible and wanted to cry. She felt bad for Hermione.
"Dukey, is there anyone in the dungeon right now?"
"Yes, they just put a little girl, the Grangers daughter."
"Okay, I'll get her. Use the portkey, Dukey and take Mr. Granger's body with you." She watched as Dukey and Mr. Granger left in the air. When she was sure no one noticed she put a charm on the dungeon door, so screams could be heard for the next week. She grabbed Mrs. Granger who was unconscious like her mother and held her in a hug type thing so she was sure she didn't lose her grip on her and with a quick glance around making sure no one could see her, she apparated to the alleyway. She carefully placed Hermione's mother down. And apparated back to the dungeon door before anyone could speak to her in the alleyway. She looked around again to see if anyone saw her, no one did. She opened the door and ran as fast as she could till she hit about the 70th cell, where she found a little girl weeping on the corner. She walked to her and the girl looked up, terrified. Those eyes are going to haunt her with her mother's screams. She will never forget them.
"Don't worry; I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here to help you. I'm Trinity and I'm going to take you to your parents, but you have to be super, super quiet. Okay?" The little girl nodded. She ran as fast as she could with the girl in her arms. When she was at the door, she looked around cautiously, no one around. She was thankful. She walked out and closed the door. She made sure she could still hear fake screams and she did. She quickly apparated the girl to the alleyway, carefully setting her down. She could hear people around her, but apparated to her car. She had to take care of that before she talked. It was right where she asked for it. She ran into the car, slammed the door and stepped on the gas till it hit about 120. Once she was in downtown Newcastle, she slowed down till she found a parking garage. She found a spot and turned around to find Carshy staring at her.
"Hello Carshy, how would like to work at my school, with Dukey."
"Carshy would love it."
"Where was my father today?
"He was at a business meeting in London and he won't be back till tomorrow afternoon.
"Thank you. Did you bring the cloak?"
"Yes, Mistress."
"Good, now put it on and follow me." He did and got out of the car. She followed. She saw no one so she murmured a charm on the car to make it invisible and put a reserve parking sign so no one tries parking in that spot. With her ring, she knew that she didn't have to worry about the charm wearing off.
"I need you to apparate to Hogwarts and keep my cloak safe till I get settled in."
"Yes, Mistress." She heard him speak, but couldn't pinpoint it, since he was invisible. She heard a pop and knew he was one. She saved everyone she could and she new he father would be okay. She apparated to the Alleyway.
Before leaving the alley she scourgify herself, because she felt completely dirty from the dungeons. She looked better and felt better now.
She walked out and saw only Dumbledore, Fred and George waiting there and she knew that everyone she saved was safe. She took a gulp and knew that there would be questions to answer and lots of them.
