I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER, JUST THE PLOT!

Chapter Ten

Perfectly decided.

Day Nine.

"Please" Pansy pleaded for what seemed like the hundredth time that day "please don't do this Draco, your scaring me"

"You should be scared" he hissed as he carried on pulling her along "No one gets away with going behind my back Pansy, no one! I would of thought that you would of known better then to do something like this"

"Draco, I don't know what your talking about" Pansy lied, she had never been much of a liar but she was hoping that he would not be able to see through her tears, the words were a lie but the tears were real, they seemed more real then anything that she had even known "I don't know what's going on"

"Stop lying!" he practically screamed while shaking her slightly "What have I always told you? Never lie to me, your bad at it. You would do well to remember that you stupid little girl"

"But I'm not!" she sobbed desperately "I did everything that you asked me to do and right when you told me to do it, Granger has picked you, your on her list and right at the top as well, I don't understand-"

"That's right Pansy, you don't understand! You seem to think that this whole thing in some kind of game and you can play on what ever side you like. War is not something that you can play with, you have to pick a side and stick with it instead of jumping from side to side all of the time. Life is not like that and its about time that you thought about some things. Its time for you to grow up, even if I am going to have to force you to take the first few steps"

Fear seemed to wrap its self around her heart at his words and the meaning that they could have behind them. From the start of the school year rumours had been travelling around the Slytherin common room like wild fire and the most famous one made her feel sick ever time she heard someone whispering about it - Draco Malfoy was a Death Eater.

The youngest one that there had ever been.

She risked a small glance at him, he was breathing heavily with a scowl on his face and his eyes seemed darker then she had even seen them, suddenly the thought of him being a Death Eater, even at this age, seemed realistic to her. As he dragged her along she realised why his anger seemed so familiar to her: he looked just like his father.

His father who killed people with or without being asked and would only stop in the act so that he could laugh at them in their last moments.

She had heard so many stories about his family but it was only now, as she was being pulled along by the person that she had once thought had been her friend did she realise just how horrible and how chilling they really where.

Her mind started racing, what if her old friend really was a Death Eater? What if he really had killed people like his father had done so many times before him? He would not care about what he did. She suddenly wondered what he was going to do to her.

Would he hurt her?

Hex her?

Curse her?

Kill her?

She shivered as another thought ran through her mind when his words ran through her mind: "Its time to grow up, even if I am going to have to force you to take the first few steps"

To be branded a Death Eater was something that she had always saw in her future, it was in her family and in her blood- there could be nothing else for her. Suddenly the one thing that she had thought she wanted for so long scared her more then anything else in the world, she pictured people screaming and running, dead lifeless eyes watched her from every where she stood and finally a bright green light that had come from the end of her wand. She thought about all of the things that she could do and all of the pain that her actions would have on other people.

She had thought that she had to be a killer.

Fresh tears filled her eyes and her breathing increased with every step that she took, she did not want this. She wanted to be a normal person and not in the middle of this war that she wanted no part of. She had always thought that she would have her family standing by her side, looking at her with respect that every child wants from their parents at some point in their parents would only be proud of a murderer.

The realisation made her feel sick.

She was going to disappoint them, she told herself firmly, no matter what she had done in her life and no matter how many people she had been mean to there was one thing that she was never going to do.

She was not going to kill anyone.

Muggle or not.

Pansy Parkinson was never going to be a murder and even if she had to die instead of someone that she hardly knew being her own person was going to make it worth it.

She could do this.

She would do this.

---*---

"So, you two seemed to be getting on well then" Hermione said casually as she helped Ginny pack away the remainder of her things, she knew that the meeting would have had to gone well for the two girls to be getting on but she did not want to push her theory very far, for all she knew Ginny could turn around and start insulting Pansy at any second.

For reasons that had always been unknown to Hermione, Ginny and Pansy had never gotten on from the moment that Ginny had started Hogwarts, she had no idea if it was simply because of the difference between them and their houses or if there was something more personal to Hermione's shock Ginny simply smiled and carried on packing away her things, Hermione frowned and was silent for a while as they packed, she did not want to seem like she was pushing but part of her had to know.

"You know you want to" Ginny said with a hint of smugness in her voice. "Just ask already"

"Alright" Hermione sighed with a slight smile "How have you and Pansy been getting on?"

"Better" Ginny replied as she put her full bag over her shoulder "It was hard to get anything done without you but today…seemed different. I think that she is letting her guard down slightly and being nice for once. I never thought I would say his but…I think that I am starting to like her"

Hermione smiled and nodded.

"I knew that you would be better without me to break up your fights all the time"

Ginny nodded.

"I think it did help" Ginny smiled "but it will be really good to have you back…you are coming back right?"

"Of course-"

A loud scream filled the air and Hermione and Ginny jumped slightly before turning around to the door, the sound seemed to wrap its self around Hermione and make her heart turn deathly cold. It was not a scream of pain but rather one that sounded inhuman, so much emotion and meaning in one simple sound seemed horribly wrong. Ginny turned to look at Hermione and both of them nodded with out saying a word, they both knew what had to be done. As one they walked to the door and quickly pulled it open to try and find the source.

To their shock Blaise Zabini was standing there, his breathing coming in deep breaths as his hands clenched at his hair in handfuls, he looked more helpless then they had ever thought they would see him. He was looking straight ahead with wide eyes and both girls were sure that he had not even noticed that they were standing there.

"Blaise?" Ginny whispered as she stepped forward slowly, she only knew the boy from other people speaking about him and while they had never even spoken before she found that she could not just leave him standing there by himself, she had never seen someone look so alone before. "Are you alright?"

Slowly he turned to look a them, his expression did not change in the slightest and while he looked right at them it seemed more like he was seeing nothing, even after a full minute had passed he still did not attempt to say anything, he just stood there and looked at them.

"Is…is something wrong?"

Slowly he nodded.

"Yes" he whispered in a horse voice that confirmed that the scream had come from him. "Its wrong. Everything about this is wrong"

"What happened?" Hermione asked as she realised that Blaise was going to talk to them.

"She's gone and I don't know where to find her"

Something in Hermione's mind seemed to click into place and she remembered what had happened before she had walked into the classroom, he had been standing there with Draco…and they had wanted to see Pansy…

"Pansy" Hermione whispered before saying in a louder voice "Do you mean Pansy? Is that the she that you are talking about?"

He nodded slightly before shaking his head and blinking, the life suddenly seemed to come back into his eyes and he took a deep breath before standing up straighter.

"I have to go" he said in his normal cold voice.

With out a second glance at them he started to walk away and Hermione found that she could not just let it end like that.

"Wait!" Hermione called "Maybe there is something that we can do to help you"

He stopped in mid step and stood there for a few seconds before turning back around to look at them, as soon as his gaze latched onto Hermione's she felt herself take a large step back and next to her Ginny did the same. The change in him within a few passing seconds was amazing, his eyes were suddenly cold and there was the sneer on his face that she had seen on Slytherin's faces more times then she could count.

"I don't think that I need anything from a mudblood and blood traitor but if I ever find myself that low then I will owl you"

He laughed coldly before turning away once more and finally leaving Hermione and Ginny standing alone in the too quiet corridor.

"What just happened?" Ginny asked when she could not longer stand the opened her mouth and tried attempted to reply before sighing and looking at Ginny with a helpless look.

"You know, I really have no idea"

But she knew that whatever it was it could not be good.

---*---

"I can't do this"

These four words seemed to be the only thing that Pansy could think, she knew that he had taken her to the seventh floor but she had no idea what room she was in, she had never seen it in the years that she had been at Hogwarts, it was small and dark with nothing in it but herself. She had no idea why he had taken her here but all he knew is that he had left her here……and locked the door behind him.

FLASH BACK

He pushed her into the room with such force that she tripped on her way in and fell to her knees, she wanted to get up and try and run past him but even before she looked around at him she understood all too well that it was not going to do her any good, he would be able to over power her and her attempts at getting away from him would only make him more angry then he already was.

Her eyes stung from the many tears that she had tried in the last few minutes and even as she tried everything that she could think of to make them stop it was not use. With every moment that passed more and more tears fell from her eyes.

"Your going to stay here to think about what you have done"

"Please" she cried "I haven't done anything wrong, I…I d-don't know what y-you think I have done but your w-wrong-"

"You betrayed me Pansy" he whispered quietly, his voice seemed to echo around the room and for a second her sobs stopped slightly as she watched him standing there, he was turned away from her and looking blankly at one of the rooms small walls while his face held no emotion or feeling in it she could not help but think that he was thinking about something, something that he did not like in the slightest "You went against what I asked you to do and I can't have you doing that, it's all wrong, do you understand that?"

"No" Pansy replied through her tears "I don't seem to understand anything that you have been saying lately"

"I know Pansy" he whispered "and that's why you're here"

He turned all the way away from her and headed to the door, she could feel her breaths coming faster and faster as a sense of panic started to run through her whole body, it seemed that she had been right in thinking that he was going to leave her here alone.

No one would be able to find her.

No one would know what had happened to her.

If he did not come back…then she was going to die, all alone.

"Blaise will look for me" she said before she could stop herself, she needed to give him a reason to make him rethink his actions, even if she already knew that it was hopeless to get him to change his mind. He always thought that he knew best and nothing anyone said was even going to change that.

"I know" he replied after a moment longer of silence "But he'll never find you"

Another sobbed escaped her mouth as the door slammed shut with a loud "bang"

END OF FLASH BACK

Pansy wrapped her arms around her legs and took a deep breath while trying to hold back more tears, things looked hopeless right now but it was going to be alright. Blaise was going to find her and then everything would be alright again.

Everything would be alright
