"You two are disappointing." Voldemort said as Draco and I sat across from him at a table.

"I'm sorry my lord." I said not making eye contact with him.

"How is the Vanishing Cabinet coming along?" He asked Draco.

"We are certain it is ready for use. We would like to try it out once more to be certain." Draco said.

"Well, that's some good news." Voldemort said. "However I hear that Harry Potter is beginning to suspect something. I want more affirmative action." he yelled. "Bellatrix take Greyback and others and attack the Burrow."

"As for you two. Draco if you don't kill Dumbledore, I will kill you and Angelique myself. Angelique your sole job is to make sure he does it. If Snape has to he can aid as well." Voldemort said. "I have faith in the both of you, Angelique you are like a daughter to me. You can do this." With that Draco and I were excused and we walked down the hall to my temporary bedroom.

"I think our next plan of attack should be to poison him." Draco said. I nodded.

"That could work. We can try it." I said with a smile as he dropped me off at my room. He kissed my cheek and walked to his room.

The rest of the break was uneventful. We hardly saw or talked to the Dark Lord and Draco and I rarely got time to ourselves. I caught up with Bellatrix from all the time we had been apart, and Draco spent time with his parents. Before we knew it we were back at Hogwarts.

"Right, Its ready. Snape suggested switching a bottle that Slughorn intends to give to Dumbledore." I said handing Draco the mead.

"Excellent." He said as he got ready to go switch the bottles that Slughorn was going to give to Dumbledore. We went to bed when the mission was accomplished successfully.

…...

In the morning we heard that the bottle had been given to Ron Weasley.

"Another failed attempt. Angelique he's going to kill us."

"Calm down Draco we will figure this out. All in good time."

"How can you be so sure?"

"A moment will arise soon enough, I know it. Meanwhile lets go perfect that cabinet." I said as we began to walk to the room.

"Shall we use live bait?" I suggested.

"What though?"

"One of those birds?" I asked pointing to the birds in the cage at the end of the hallway.

"Nice." He said as he got the bird. We went into the room opened the cabinet and placed the bird in it. We closed it and waited, when we reopened it the bird was gone. We closed it again and reopened it, the bird was dead.

"What a down right shame." I said closing the cabinet.

"What now? I know we need to figure out why it died."

"Yes."

"Why cant it just work!" He yelled throwing an object across the room.

"Because if it were that simple this would be someone elses job." I said as I placed my hand on his shoulder and we left the room. We got the other bird and walked back in.

"Lets try one more time." I said as I fiddled with a piece of the wood.

Draco placed the bird in the cabinet. We closed it, we opened it, it disappeared, we closed it again...

Draco looked at me with a smile. "It worked! It bloody worked!" He exclaimed. I smiled at him, it was wonderful to see him smile.

"Lets get some lunch, shall we?" I asked. We walked down to the Great Hall for lunch. We sat down across from Pansy and Blaise, both of which giving us dirty looks.

"What are you like an item now?" Pansy asked snarlingly. I looked at Draco and he looked at me. I shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess so." He said as he put his arm around me.

"Oh look who's back." Blaise said as he got up with Pansy and left. Draco looked up and then stood and looked in horror. Katie Bell had come back to school, she looked fine. Harry Potter ran up to her and asked her questions. I stood next to Draco with my hand on his shoulder.

"It's in the past." I whispered.

"I almost killed her." he whispered.

"But you didn't." I whispered back. Draco looked around as Harry and Katie were staring at us. Draco turned and ran out the door.

"Draco!" I yelled but he ignored me. Harry ran after him before I got a chance to turn around. I ran after Harry. I turned the corner and there was no Harry and no Draco.

"Damn." I muttered. I began thinking where Draco would've gone. Astronomy Tower? No he would leave that for us. Room of requirement? No he wouldn't go anywhere near that bloody cabinet. Bathrooms? Possibly. I ran to the bathrooms near the Room of Requirement. No one went in those except for Draco. There was privacy, well except for moaning Myrtle. Draco had told me stories about her and how they would have conversations.

I heard loud crashing noises. I began to run to the bathrooms by the time I got there all you could hear was the sound of running water and moaning? I ran in to see Draco on the ground bleeding through his white shirt and Harry standing in the corner.

"What did you do?" I screamed at him. I knelt next to Draco the blood wouldn't stop. I stood up and pointed my wand at Harry.

"Avada-"

"Angelique!" Snape said as he rushed towards Draco and I, he lowered my wand and knelt to Draco. Harry fled the scene as I knelt back down to Draco.

"Vulnera Sanentur. Vulnera Sanentur. Vulnera Sanentur." Snape repeated. The wounds and the blood disappeared.

"Angelique, take him to the infirmary and watch over him. He needs rest." Snape said. I nodded and lifted Draco and walked beside him to the infirmary. Snape walked behind us with an explanation of why Draco was the way he was. He was soaking wet and sobbing. I sat him down on a bed as the nurse came over.

"What in the bloody hell happened?" she asked as Snape took her to the opposite side of the room.

"Get those clothes off before you catch a cold." I said throwing him some clean dry clothes. He took his shirt off and put the clean one on, then his pants. He sat there when he was done like he didn't know what to do then. I hung his wet clothes up sure that Snape would cast a spell to make them dry soon.

"Lay down." I instructed him. I sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Draco. I rubbed his back, my hand going up and down in a slow rhythm.

"I-He-I-"

"Shh, no need to talk about such things right now. Get some rest." I said as he closed his eyes. I kissed his forehead and continued to rub his back until he fell into a deep sleep. Snape walked over to me.

"She doesn't know whats going on and I have made it so you're appearance is invisible. I'll be back in a while." Snape said as he left. I sat there with Draco until dusk arrived when he woke up.

"Draco?" I asked. He looked over at me.

"We have work to do." he said as he got up slowly.
