Walking into the Great Hall the next morning Draco saw Dana sitting at the end of the Slytherin table pushing a pile of eggs around her plate. When he reached her he sat across from her and stared silently at the top of her head. "Dana…" He tried.

Dana looked up but didn't respond.

"Look I'm really sorry about last night. I didn't mean to… I mean I didn't… I-" He stopped when he heard a soft giggle, "What?" He asked

"I really wish you would stop doing that."

"Doing what?" Draco said cocking his head in a confused way.

"Being adorable." Dana answered with a simple smile, "And since when has Draco Malfoy ever stuttered in front of a girl?"

"You make me sound like a damn puppy." Draco muttered and Dana laughed again. "And I'm not stuttering!" He added

"You're different." Dana observed quietly.

"Yeah about that… Well last year I wasn't really myself. You put me under some spell when I met you and… The guy you know isn't me. The way my friends describe me last year was… Well I was pretty fucked up and love struck which isn't the normal me."

To his surprise Dana laughed. "Good." She replied, "I thought Draco Malfoy was going soft." And with that she stood up and left the Great Hall.

As Dana walked out of the Great Hall she was muttering under her breath, "Stupid ferret. I was pretty fucked up and love struck and blah blah blah."

"Whose a ferret?" A voice asked

Dana twirled around and saw Madison standing there looking worried.

"Maddie?" Dana asked, "What do you want?"

"To say I'm sorry." Madison replied

"Sorry?" Dana asked, "Why would you be apologizing to me?"

"My dad tried to get me to join his little cult thing and I didn't want to so he threatened to have you kidnapped again and this time he would kill you and all these things. Then he wanted me to get close to Dixie and then kidnap her kind of like what Layla did to you. I know your dad made you all, well not you and your sisters, get Dark Marks and that's why Dylan broke up with me so I was so upset that I lost all of you guys I guess I had a lapse of judgment and agreed to help my dad. I just miss you guys."

Dana cocked her head, "Are you lying?"

Madison shook her head with a wary expression.

"I forgive you-- I guess." Dana replied, "As long as this isn't a trap."

"You can give me vitaserum!" Madison said in a rush

"Well I guess if your offering to take a truth potion you're not lying- so I forgive you."

Madison's face lit up and she ran to Dana pulling her into a hug. "Thank you so much! I already talked to everyone else- all that's left is Draco. That's kind of scary."

"Well Draco's in the Great Hall."

"So he's the ferret?" Madison asked

"The stupid ferret." Dana laughed, "Yeah he is. Apparently he's not fucked up like he was last year so he's back to being cold heartless Malfoy or whatever."

Madison smiled sadly, "He wasn't a bad guy then… true he wasn't acting anything like himself when he met you but he wasn't as you Gryffindors viewed him."

Dana laughed, "Save it for the ferret."

Madison smiled and turned to walk into the Great Hall. When Dana turned around again to head towards the Slytherin common room she let out a scream. She was standing face to face with a fuming Layla Boyd.

"Hello Drakey Pooh!" Madison said cheerfully as she sat down across from Draco.

Draco looked up and sneered at the girl and Madison's smile left her face, "C'mon Drake, please listen to me."

Draco rolled his eyes but agreed to listen to Madison's story.

Nina was standing in the full length mirror in her dorm room. She was ran her hand down the beautiful strapless dress she was wearing and sighed. She put a smile on as she saw Blaise appear in the mirror behind her. He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, "What's wrong?" He asked kissing her hair.

"I was going to wear this to the finals of the contest but now I can't."

"Well of course you can't." Blaise answered, "Since there won't be a finals."

Nina turned in his arms and looked at him quizzically.

"Madison quit Layla's band so there's no need to have a final performance."

"So she talked to you too?" Nina asked

"Yeah. That's not the reason you said you can't wear the dress though." Blaise observed

"You know I can't." Nina said laying her head on Blaise's chest. "I hate the Dark Lord."

Blaise tightened his arms around his girlfriend.

"It's not fair that our parents forced us to get the Dark Mark." Nina continued, "How could someone so evil have daughters so wonderful like Dana, Delaney, Dixie, and Sophie?"

"Because he wanted his own little army." Blaise answered, "Think about it, the Dark Lords not capable of loving. All of his children are extremely powerful, they are like his own little guard."

"Are you serious?" Nina asked with wide eyes

"Yeah. They're like his body guards. They haven't found all the powers they possess yet."

Nina kept a shocked look on her face. "What about Kendra?"

"From what Justin told me they fell in love at Hogwarts and when the Tom Riddle turned into Voldemort she started to become obsessed with the power and so she agreed with the Dark Lord's plan to make a mini army out of their children. They're both sick and twisted people."

Nina leaned into Blaise, "This is crazy."

Blaise nodded in agreement then rested his head on the top of Nina's head.
