Sorry about the wait, just got two other fics I'm working on and a new one I plan to bring out later. Anyway this is where Voldemort's plot unfolds up until Pansy and the others free Draco.
Enjoy!
Swan Lake Castle:
Voldemort was pondering what to do, he knew that Harry's vow could ruin his plans but if he found a way to counter it then Lucius' kingdom would still be his, with or without Draco.
"My lord?" Scabior came in, why did he keep him again? Oh yes, because he was a good assistant on Voldemort's powers.
"That vow could ruin everything…but how to fix it?" he turned to Scabior.
"I-I don't know…" Voldemort was about to smack Scabior when a thought came to him.
"Of course…I know just what to do!" he took out his wand and placed the tip at his thin lips. "I'll make Harry make his vow to the wrong Draco, and once that's on Draco will die." He turned and heard Scabior gasp.
"My lord…why kill Prince Draco I thought you wanted to marry him to take Lucius's kingdom?"
"I did you fool, but seeing as I will never be able to persuade Draco to be mine I will have to go back to my original plan. Kill off the royal family and take the throne by force…but I need a decoy first." He turned back to Scabior. "Yes, you'll have to do."
"But my lord…why not just create another copy of Draco with your magic?"
"It won't last long, and it's not very durable. I'll turn you into Draco and you will attend the ball until Harry makes his vow, and then I will make my appearance." He began circling Scabior slowly. "This will take a lot of work, but it'll be worth it." He raised his wand at Scabior, and in a swirl of red light stood a clone copy of Prince Draco.
"My lord…" the voice was the same though.
"You will have to try and copy Prince Draco's voice, or you'll give yourself away."
"I don't…"
"You don't what Scabior? You don't want to help your lord?" Scabior looked down. "Crucio!" Scabior crumpled to the floor and squirmed under the curse. He let it stay for a few more seconds before lifting it. "Now what is your answer?"
"I-I…I-I'll do it…" Voldemort smirked.
"Good, now that night is almost upon us it's time to fetch my dear Draco." Voldemort left the palace and strolled out onto the lake's shore. He looked up and saw there was no moon in the sky and smirked. "Draco?" he looked around and saw the swan on the lake, tears pouring from its silver eyes. "Come here…" Draco looked at him and tried to fly off but Voldemort raised his wand and stunned the bird. "Not so fast my dear." A stunned Draco was taken into Voldemort's arms and carried back inside the palace.
Draco kept squirming as the stunner wore off, but Voldemort's grip was too tight and crushing for him to even wriggle out of place. Before they reached the dungeons, Draco suddenly stopped squirming as he spotted the look alike Scabior.
"Shall I explain my dear Draco?" the swan just kept staring at the clone. "Since I cannot persuade you to be mine, I will make Harry tell his vow to another. Once that's done, you will never leave this place again." Draco's squirming continued and Voldemort threw him into the long dungeon down; the floors were gone so all that was left were some chains hanging over a large amount of water at the bottom.
"My lord…" Scabior.
"Silence! Go to the door we have to be going soon." Scabior bowed and left. "Now now dear Draco, you won't be alone in all this you know. Since you cannot have the prince come to you, I shall bring you someone else." He left and pulled a bound redhead from a closet. "This poor fellow was lost in the woods, he'll be joining you tonight." He threw the boy into the dungeon and he grabbed a chain to hold himself up. "Now I have a ball to attend, ta ta my dear Draco." He closed the door and left, leaving Draco alone with the boy in the dungeon.
Outside the castle:
Pansy, Blaise, and Greg were all on the other side of the moat waiting for Voldemort to leave with the Draco look alike. Pansy had overheard Voldemort's plot and decided to act after he was gone.
"He's left, they disappeared in the forest." Greg hopped over to them. "Now what do we do?"
"Well for one thing we can't get in through the front, it's been shielded. But if I remember correctly the dungeon is near filled with water, which means there's a leak and if there's a leak then there's a hole. All we have to do is find it and Draco's free."
"Um Pansy…you're forgetting two huge things." Greg pointed at the two gators swimming across the surface.
"His royal highness has a point." Blaise agreed.
"Not to worry…we just need a volunteer."
"Who in the hell would jump into that moat? It's a death trap!"
"He has to be a great swimmer…" Greg and Blaise agreed. "Small too, and green for blending in with the plants." Greg scratched his chin.
"Let me see, small, good swimmer, and green…YOU MEAN ME?" Pansy nodded. "No way!"
"Greg you're the only one fast enough besides me, Blaise and I can distract the gators while you find the hole. Once you've found the hole Blaise will dig it up and I'll distract the gators until Draco goes, sound good?"
"Sounds good to me." Blaise.
"Oooh…alright alright I'll do it but only for Draco." Pansy smiled.
"Great! Blaise go find a spot to start, I'll send Greg off when the gators are on you."
"Gotcha!" Blaise took off rather quick for a turtle and the gators swam after him.
"Get going!" Greg jumped straight into the water only to catch one gator's attention. The beast chased him and then Blaise moved in the way; Greg looked around and found one small hole big enough for him to fit in. He squeezed through and then bolted into the dungeon straight into…a hunter?
"Greg!" he heard Draco.
"To the rescue!" Greg stayed next to Draco waiting for Blaise to break through.
Meanwhile Greg gave Pansy the signal and she swam into the water luring the gators away. Blaise dug a big hole and broke through making Greg swim up and Draco came down with him.
"Wait here!" he mouthed to them. Pansy gave him a thumbs up and the gators kept following her; Greg and Blaise let Draco slip through right before the gators got him. The trio fought the gators off until Draco broke through the surface flying towards the sky.
"Go Draco go!" Pansy called after him.
Draco flew as fast as he could, hoping he would be able to reach the ball just in time; unfortunately though, Voldemort and Scabior were already there.
Going up until Harry runs after Draco back to the lake in the next one. Please give more reviews I would like more opinions on how I'm doing!
Later!
