"Well, it's a brillian plan Draco. And you will live up to it. I'd say your life..depends on this mission." none other than his father was standing across from him.
Draco sat on his bed, face in his palms. He signaled his father last night and now he was here early in the morning.
"Yes, father." he said a bit arrogantly.
"Now what will we do?" Lucius said, expecting him to repeat back that oh so brilliant plan of theirs. More like his. Draco didn't give a cows butt what he had to do anymore.
"You will arrange for her to be kidnapped, and I will be the one to save her." Draco sounded miserable. "But father, she won't even talk to me! I try to reach out, but-"
"Don't tell me you've fallen for this girl Draco." his father hissed, disgusted by the fact that he was 'fraternising' with the enemy. "The way how you talk about this girl-"
Draco heard himself say,"No sir. It's my mission to pretend to fall for her. Remember?" and knew it was the biggest lie he ever told in his sad pitiful life. And that's saying something.
"Good." his voice is so condescending. And with a final nod he was gone with a CRACK. Draco fell on the bed. He was still confused about last night. He couldn't get that image of the tear falling down her pretty face. Draco pushed all guiltiness aside; bloody hell. Just focus on the damn mission.
TONIGHT. THEY'LL KIDNAP HER TONIGHT..
"Don't do that! You scared me half to death.." Evra had her hand on her chest. Her heart was still beating fast. The meeting was about to start, since they had all came. Unexpectedly too early.
"Sorry." Ron smiled. He wrapped her in a hug. "And how's the little one, eh?"
"Stop it, I'm not a kid anymore Ron!" she said half heartedly. She pulled away and punched him playfully.
"It's good to see you!"Hermione hugged her. Evra just smiled happily. CRACK.
"Stop that!"
"Sorry." Harry mumbled, hugging her as well. She checked his face and found he had a bruise on his face. "Where did you get that?" she pointed too it.
"Oh, nowhere. Just got into a fight at the beach and-" he winked."You should know, you were there!"
Evra didn't know what he was saying, and then it hit her. It was him at the beach. That guy! No wonder he knew her name.
"But why didn't I recognize you? I mean, now that I think of it, it did look a bit like you.."
He smirked. "Well, that auror training, you know. And you seemed preoccupied with someone else, so.."
She felt terrible.
"And I let him hit you!"
"What do you mean preoccupied with someone else?" Ron demanded. "Is this why you haven't handled him yet?" he turned an accusing look at Ginny. Or should I say Evra.
"I was afraid of this..." Hermione whispered. "Ginny-you haven't fallen for him, have you? I mean Draco Malfoy. Come on! I mean, he killed your father for crying ou-"
"Now just hang on!" Evra interrupted. She didn't want to remember the image of him and that other woman. But her throat went tight once more. "I called this meeting because handling him is harder than I thought.." she clasped her fingers around eachother. She was guilty and nervous. That isn't a good combination. "And how could I ever fall for the man that killed him! The only one who held our family together, and-and.."
"Gin-he's my dad too."
"But you were never as close to him as I was!" Her eyes were stinging, but she refused to let the tears fall. How could she have allowed herself to start developing feelings for that monster? Since when did it happen? Why couldn't she have just done it? Malfoy was a powerful wizard, but she could have handled him. Being a member of the Secret Ennexes, she took down many Death Eaters and their supporters during the war. No problem.
"So what do you want us to do?" Harry asked.
"Just help me get rid of him."
"Ginny, we are to bring him straight to headquarters. Not get rid of him." Hermione said sharply. Evra didn't seem to be listening.
"What? Oh! Yeah, of course. Just help me catch him."
"We assigned you to this because we knew you could handle it." Harry said in tone the mimicked Hermione's. He wasn't the leader for nothing.
"But, seeing as we're here, might as well.." Ron said. "I've been dying to get a hit at Malfoy."
"Sorry mate. But this is Ginny's job. I know she is perfectly capable of this task." Harry said in that tone again. "But if she's not up to it.."
"No. I can do it. Just-nevermind-thanks for coming."
They hugged her each in turn and disappeared with loud CRACKS. Of course she was capable. She just needed the right moment. But it wasn't today. She was not in the mood to see him. She needed a walk.
As she strolled along the alleys of the beautiful city, she didn't notice that it soon became dusk. And pretty soon the moonlight was smiling upon the city of love. Yeah right. If it was the city of love, why hasn't she found anyone?
STOP IT, YOU'RE HERE ON YOUR OWN TERMS GINEVRA WEASLEY...THAT WAS A STUPID MOVE TO CALL A MEETING LIKE THAT...THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR UP TO..
"It's not safe to be walking these alleys at night." hissed a voice that she loathed almost as much as Draco Malfoy. She stopped without looking back.
"Why don't you get a life, Lucius. If you didn't know, your leader's been dead for a year." she snapped. She reached into for her wand.
"Petrificus Totalus!" she said swiftly. But he was quicker.
"Stupefy!"
Before she could react, she felt a powerful blast hit her face and the land of the conscious was gone. Everything went dim and hazy. Then pitch black and silence.
