You get two chapters tonight, I will be posting again this weekend. I hope you enjoy and don't hate me to bad.
"He never told the Order what she did that night." Severus looked at Draco.
"She changed." Draco looked at Severus.
"We all do with the mark." He looked down at his own. "Her last year was hard on her. She was Regulus Black wife, a Death Eater and head girl. She made O's on everything her fifth year. Which reminds me your OWL's you took already, Prof. Dumbledore said will be used for this year. No point of making you three take them again but you will have to look as if you are. I would make you take them again." He sneered at them.
Hermione smiled back and winked. He grinned back at her, he wanted to grab her. He turned back to Draco mostly. "She passed her NEWT's with flying colors but I thought she was going to die first." He chuckled some. He placed a memory in the pensive. "This one is for Draco only. Draco would you like them to watch it with you?" Draco nodded
They fell in, Anna was rocking a blond hair baby in her arms. The room was bright and white. She had on a short grey dress with black robes over it. Draco's necklace glistened in the sun. Lucius came in smiling. "How is she?" Anna looked up at him.
"She is doing ok. They said she can't have anymore. This one almost killed her." Anna moved her hand away from the baby and placed it on Lucius.
"You got a boy, she gave you a boy. Be good to him." She smiled at Lucius. He bent down and kissed her head.
"You know me." He smiled at her.
"That's what I'm talking about." She smirked at him. "What are you naming him?"
"Draco Lucius Malfoy." He smiled down at the baby.
"Really, Draco?"
"Cissa loves the name, shut it. We are not naming him after that boy." She smiled at him he started laughing. "Can you hold him? I'm going to sit with Cissy for a while." She nodded.
The baby started crying when Lucius left. "Shh, my dragon it will be ok. Your mommy made it." She was rocking him in the chair as the baby stared at her.
"Even as an infant he is fascinated with your eyes." Severus walked in.
"Shut it." She grinned at Severus. Draco watched the baby looking up at her.
"How is she?" He sat in a chair next to hers.
"She will make it. That's all that matters." She smiled as she looked down at the baby. For a moment Draco could pretend that was his baby, not him as a baby. "I wish Reg and I could have had our baby." She looked at him. "You know they told me what I would have had, it would have been a boy." She looked down at Draco. "He would have gone to Hogwarts with you." She smiled at Severus.
Severus snorted. "Do you ever wish you and Draco?"
"Yeah at times. I think we would have made a brilliant green eyed, blond baby." She held the baby closer. "Life is funny isn't."
"How come?"
"One moment I'm sure how my life will work out and in the next it's all over."
"Yeah." He had no idea what she was talking about.
"You will be good to him, Lucius is making you his godfather." She stared at him.
"Oh course but you will be helping to spoil him." She shook her head at his words.
"My time is almost up. He knows and Bella has made sure he has turned on me." She looked down as Draco fell asleep on her chest. She laughed some. "Some things never change."
"Annie, let me save you for once." He kneeled down by her.
She shook her head. "You have Hermione to look forward too and anyway it's been a great ride kid."
"That was the last thing Reg said to you." He looked puzzled.
"I get it now." Anna smiled at him.
They were standing in front of Severus. Severus had tears in his eyes. "She was pregnant." Hermione asked as she walked over to him and held him for a moment. He let go of her and fixed his robes.
"Yes, she lost the baby right after Reg disappeared. The Dark Lord." He started choking and couldn't go on. Harry and Draco nodded, they knew what had happened to the baby. "One more memory and I have to warn you this one has been tampered with by her and by myself. It will not make a lot of sense but it's a few memories thrown together." They nodded as they started watching it.
Anna was sitting a table in the middle of a pub. The place was packed full of muggles, nobody even looked at the women in the green cloak. It wasn't anyplace Harry had seen before, she had a bottle of vodka in front of her pouring herself a drink. Her cigarette was burning in the ash tray. She was talking to somebody, the person was a blur. The person leaned in some to her and spoke softly.
"Does he know where they are?" Harry knew that voice but he couldn't place it. It was a male voice.
"Not yet. He will soon, are you sure they are safe?" She spoke almost into her glass.
"Yes, I think."
"You think? Don't you know?"
"A few on the inside are starting to doubt me." He poured himself a drink.
"How could they not trust you? You have been his friend for years." She stared at the man across from her.
"I think he is going to turn soon." The man lifted the drink.
"Really you think?" She paused. "I have no idea but I will see what I can learn. If I find out anything I will let you know. Why doesn't he trust you?"
"I have been seen with a certain Death Eater." The glass was raised to her.
"Oh bloody hell, I knew he was thick but really." She smirked. "Sorry love you were never my type. I seem to only fall for men I can't have or those that lead to my own destruction."
The man laughed some. "Why do I always agree to meet you?"
"You are powerless to me." She smiled at the man.
"More like I have a death wish."
"You like living on the edge."
"I like living, I would prefer not to die just yet."
"You should try the Dark Side, love. I could make it well worth your trouble." She touched the man's hand.
"Anna, please." He put his other hand on hers. "When was the last time you?"
"Had sex, two years ago." She glared at him. "Why?"
"You need to get laid soon, dear." He snorted. "I think since your third year this has been the longest you have been without."
"Are you offering?" She smirked as she finished her cigarette.
He laughed. "If you were getting some you wouldn't even look twice at me."
She rolled her eyes. "True but you were always hansom." She smiled. "Oh, you will never believe who I ran into yesterday and where I ran into them at."
"Who?"
"I ran into." The memory was starting to blur.
Draco looked at Hermione. "Why is the memory blurring?"
"I guess this is one of the parts that have been tampered with?" She shrugged at Harry and Draco. The memory came back into focused.
"Nobody will believe me, you mean you saw him talking to Bellatrix." Anna was nodding as the man talked. "You know he doesn't trust me and if I tell him this it will make it worse."
"He was always an ass. How is he anyway?" She poured another drink. "His mother is asking, not me."
"I have no idea. Haven't talked to him in days."
"Merlin, he doesn't trust you does he. I mean I thought you two were lovers for years the way you two never left each other alone." She lifted her drink to her mouth. "Do you know who the secret keeper is?"
"No and I wouldn't tell you if I knew." She leaned over and filled the man's glass. "Anna are you getting me drunk."
"Yes." She smiled and leaned forward. "Is that a problem?"
"I would prefer to stay sober."
"That's your fifth glass, sober left both of us an hour ago."
"I just don't want to become to drunk."
"Are you suggesting I would take advantage of you?"
"Yes."
"You know me well love. Well?"
"I don't think so."
She stood up. "Since you won't come home with me, I'm off to my large home to be alone."
The man grabbed her hand. "Does it mean anything if I go home with you?"
She scrunched up her nose. "No and if you ever let it get out I will hex you into next year. Imagine if people knew." She stared down at him. "It's just sex."
"You make me feel so wanted." They could tell the man was angry as he stood up. It was frustrating Hermione not to see the man Anna was talking to.
"If you are going to get mad than don't come. But it might be fun and be truthful you have wanted to since we were in school. I know I have." She smirked.
"Maybe, but you were always busy with others. Too bad I can't tell James, think how happy this would make him. You're finally sleeping with a guy he likes."
Anna laughed and smacked him. "You are terrible." She smiled as he put his arm around her and they left.
They were spinning again to another memory. Harry knew that voice it was a voice he knew well. How could he not place it, he could guess they were talking about his parents. So somebody his parents were good friends with but would know Anna well enough to go home with her. Where did he know that voice?
They were standing in a dark and dingy room. It was Anna, Bella and Celestial standing over a man. He was on the floor screaming. "Bella enough." Anna screamed. "He isn't breaking." Bella lowered her wand. "I swear you just like torturing them, you don't try to get information." Bella shot a look at her.
"Well what do suggest?" Bella glared at her.
"I'm tired of his screams." Celestial looked at her. "Anything right now to shut him up." She shot a spell at him making him scream.
Anna pulled out her wand. "Fine, I told you to bring Severus." She straddled the man. "He is better at this then I am." She pointed her wand at him and the man screamed.
Bella was pacing. "Well?"
"Give me a minute, he is blocking me some." She screamed at Bella. She pulled out a knife from her boot and held it to his neck. "Stop blocking me or I will cut you." She sneered at the man. He spit in Anna's face, she smacked him across the face. Anna held the wand to his head.
"Shift it." Bella yelled at her.
"You wanted fast you should have listened to me and brought Severus." Anna snapped at her, after a few more minutes he stopped screaming. "I got it, ready?"
"Where is the seer?" Bella grabbed her.
"With Dumbledore." Anna jerked away and glared at the man on the floor.
"Fuck." Celestial looked at the man on the floor. "He isn't going to like this."
"No shit, Celli." Anna looked at her. "We need to get going, the Order will be here soon."
"Does he know where your bother and that Mudblood whore of a wife is?" Bella looked at Anna.
"No he doesn't." She snapped as she was biting her lip. Bella was glaring at her. She didn't like Anna, not only had she taken some of her Lord's attention from her, Bella knew she was lying.
"If you two are done glaring at each other, I will clean up." Celli shot the spell off and a green light hit the man, he was gone.
"What the hell." Anna grabbed Celli's wand. "We weren't supposed to kill him." The Celestial pushed Anna back, Anna wand was pointed at her neck. "Don't push me, you fucking bitch."
Bella pulled them apart. "Let's go before we are caught. Anna apparate to Lucius and Severus they will be waiting for you, Celli you floo to Nott's and I will head home." They looked at her and nodded and left the room.
Draco, Harry and Hermione followed Anna went outside and watched as she let off the dark mark over the house. She didn't go far outside before Bella grabbed her. "Shhh." She had her finger to her mouth. They watched as Celli walked out of the house. She met someone Draco, Harry and Hermione couldn't see, it was is a blur who it was. She was talking to the person and turned around. The figure followed by Aurors turned and put a memory spell on them. Harry gasped as he saw the person tamper with the memories of others. The figure followed her into the house.
The memory skipped. Hermione was starting to piece it together, she hoped the next memory gave them the answers they wanted. They were standing in a large room in front of a large fireplace. Anna wasn't as thin as she was in the first memory. She had on the same black pants, black boots and black boots. Every memory Draco saw where she was working for Him she had the same clothes on. She still wore the necklace Draco had given her and her snake earrings. Her hair was pulled up. She was sitting in a chair with her legs over the arm, playing with a knife as Lucius was drinking in front of her.
"Annie, he has marked you for death." Lucius put the drink to his mouth.
"Really? You have only said it four times, do you think shouting it will get me to listen better." She stood up, her face was cold but her lips came up slightly with a smirk. She placed her knife in her boot.
"Annie this isn't a game. Only you would go and defy him." He slumped down in another chair.
"Lucius." She leaned into him. "Tell Cissy and Draco I love them and in a way I love you too, you sick twisted bastard." He laughed at her as she leaned in and kissed him. He held her not letting her lips move. She jerked free.
"Be my mistress, I can try to protect you. I can send you away from here. I have money Anna let me help you." He grabbed her hand. "Cissa won't mind, we will be keeping you safe. I will go with you to protect you till its over. I will give you whatever you want. I can't and won't let Him take you."
"Lucius, you have a wife and a child that you love to worry about. Protect them, sweetie, and let me go please." She looked at him. She removed her hand from his and stared down at him. "Tell our Lord if he wants me killed he better do it himself." Lucius nodded as she walked towards the door. She turned around and smiled at him. "Remember me, please. I can't tell you what I have done but one day you will know and don't hate me."
"I could never hate you." He made his way to her, he grabbed her and held her close.
She smiled up at him. "Promise me one thing."
"The world."
"Teach Draco to dance."
"Dance?" Lucius just stared at her.
"Yeah, trust me it will come in handy one day." She walked out of the door.
The memory was over and they were standing in an empty room, Severus had left them. Hermione could feel the tears falling down her face. Anna had died, the Dark Lord had killed her for something she knew. Draco was having a hard time breathing, she died. Why did she die? What did she find out that made her a target? Harry was stunned, he wanted to believe that a miracle had happened and she had turned her life around. Or that maybe Severus had found a way to save her. This isn't what they truly thought would happen.
This is not the last chapter I promise it gets better after this. I'm sorry for those who didn't want to see Anna a death eater, I'm so sorry. I like sad, sad is happy for deep people. (Doctor Who)
