Author: Well my hiatus was silly long, well it really wasn't a hiatus but I wanted to focus on my original stories and school. Since both are over, I can now finish some of my pet projects. ^^
"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."

Life, is evil
Plucking you from the garden
It waits, for you to wilt
Unable to disperse your leaves
You are a hollow rose

The weather hadn't been so great of late. Draco watched the rain splatter against the window pane.
Gathering the side of his coat tighter around himself he let, the atmosphere seep in. Every night he kept dreaming of more and more troubles coming to knock on his door.
He honestly wanted a break but, thanks to Rain being on another mission for him. He had no choice but to find small moments like this in which to relax.
Shaking his head in an attempt to get rid of his dark thoughts, he left the tower and headed back down towards the dungeon.
Standing against the wall, waiting for him it appeared, stood Harry. Who turned his wild bead head in his direction, when he hit the last step "I wondered how long it would be before you would come back down."
Draco blinked," Why didn't you just come up and get me?"
Harry shrugged," I figured your just as worried as I am, about Hermione and wanted some alone time. I know that you two are close; you always treat her like a little sister. I also feel kind of at fault."
Draco face went serious at that, "In a sense if you both left all the interesting stuff to the adults. She wouldn't be petrified, but sense the adults are ignoring it. You two wouldn't hesitate in looking into it yourself. I know that much about you both."
Flushing Harry, avoided Draco's eyes, and simply fallowed in him silence. They had almost made it to the entrance, when Ron busted from the portal. His red face sweaty from some unknown exertion, his eyes alighted on Harry.
"HARRY! Did you hear Dumbledore and Hagrid are being taken?"
Harry frowned,"Hagrid and Dumbledore, shouldn't they only be taking Hagrid?"
Both Ron and Draco just looked at him, Draco confused asked him, "Why would they only be taking Hagrid?"
Ron stared at Harry until a thought dawned on him, "The spiders, that's why you wanted to visit them." He turned towards Draco, "Harry, wanted to see the spiders because if Hagrid had been taking care of …Aragog than that means, He wasn't the one controlling the Basilisk."
Draco just blankly stared at Ron, "All he did was switch houses and he gained logical reasoning, hmm."
Shaking his head Draco sighed, "Knowing this how does it help us." He looked between the both knowing Harry wanted to keep him out of the fight, so he feigned ignorance.
Harry and Ron watched as Draco seemed to come to a mental decision. "Well I'm going to help with mandrakes, so you two do your little investigations, but stay out of trouble."
Ron and Harry flinched at the fire in Draco's stare. Nodding quickly they both watched the young blond walk into the dormitory.
After the portrait slammed back into place Ron turned towards Harry, "That bloke is scarier than me mum and that's saying something."
LATER THAT NIGHT
Draco watched as the figure crept across the hallway. He watched as the figure dipped their hand in the bucket apparently filled with blood, if the color shown by the torch light meant anything.
"Are you going through with your original plan?"
The figure froze before whipping around, a females faces filled freckles looked back at him. The eyes though were not a shining blue, but dark black with a red shine.
The face twisted into a grin, "Mother, I thought you would approve. Isn't it marvelous I can go through all this, but not be truly harmed in the end."
Draco shook his head, at the tone of madness in the voice," You are the only piece that even has an inkling of what's going on. Good thing you won't remember anything after you're technically destroyed anyway. Also I am not your mother yet, so please stop calling me by that name. Do not truly harm that girl either."
The young girls head tilted to the side in confusion, "I can't harm her, pooh that's boring. What about Potter, he just rubs me the wrong way something about his goodness."
Draco shrugged, "You will lose, but if it will help you relieve some hatred than do as you will. You will of course not really kill him; if you do you might not exist later."
With that end statement Draco walked into the darkness of Hogwarts living a ginger head girl painting on the wall in blood, and humming a hymn.
FRANCE, PARIs
Rain studied the drawing on the wall, "Are you sure this in considered art?"
Sirius shrugged, while flipping through the museum book, "It's only art when some rich fuzzy, wants to call it so and pay the price to make it so."
Both of them jerked when they heard a series of alarms going off, Sirius and Rain both quickly headed for the exit.
Rain panted as she ran in her heels," Dammit, I told Raziel to not take the opal too. When we only needed the painting…!"
Sirius, feeling her slowing, he swiftly picked her up; "Well if we don't hurry Raziel will be doing time for stealing from the Luvre, and the French aren't nice parole officers.
They rushed before the disappeared in the crowd.
DORM's
The next morning Harry stood next to Ron, who didn't seem able to hear anything around him. After hearing the announcement about his sister, Harry had expected him to be flipping out but instead it seemed the fire had settled to a flicker.
He looked up when he heard the dorm door open, letting in their favorite blond. "Draco, he hasn't moved since he heard the news, what do we do."
Draco rolled his eyes, "WEASLY!" reaching forward he smacked the back of Rons head.
Ron jumped up his face red, "What MALFOY!"
Both of them faced each other, for a moment Draco had a flash back to his past.
Smiling he reached forward and patted Ron's shoulder, "That's the Weasly I know, don't seat around here trying to figure something out with your brain. Go with Harry and found out what the teachers are planning and then you might find something you can help with"He turned and pointed at Harry, "You go with him and I'm sure you both could figure something out, got it."
He shoved them both out of the dorm, and leaned against the dorm room. Closing his eyes as if in pain he whispered something only the walls could hear, "Please, forgive me for the sin I have committed against you Ron, I have no choice… no choice."
...LIFE!
3 hours later, Draco didn't know why he had expected them to handle it without getting him involved.
He was currently standing in the female bathroom, staring at Ron and Harry in shock. Snape and Lockheart were both tied up at their feet, knocked out.
Rubbing his forehead, Draco glared at them, "Please explain to me, where 'help' translated to kidnapping two professors?"
The two idiots just grinned sheepishly back at him.
