Chapter 29-

I was completely right. The next few days were torture. I never left Draco's side, except to sleep since I was testing out the meditation thing, and Harry, who I had gone once again back to calling Potter, kept following me, trying to apologize but he didn't get that he should be apologizing to Draco, I just stood up for him.

"Well we know why he's not in Ravenclaw, or Slytherin for that matter, I think even Goyle would've figured it out by now." I told Draco from our hiding spot in his room, in a pile of pillows from both of our rooms under the window,

"He makes Goyle and Crabbe look like geniuses." I laughed,

"And that's saying something." He frowned at me, "Oh don't give me that look! You know they're stupid!" he sighed,

"You're right, it's been a few days, where's Snape?"

"That's Professor Snape to you Mr. Malfoy." we jumped up in alarm,

"Professor Snape!" I said happily, almost giving him a hug, even Draco almost smiled,

"I take it you enjoyed your time here?"

"No!" we yelled at the same time. Snape chuckled and we both stared at him,

"Don't." he said when I opened my mouth. I smiled,

"So we can leave?" I asked hopefully. He nodded,

"Go pack, oh and Draco Narcissa is very upset you haven't sent her any letters." Draco swore under his breath,

"I knew I forgot something!" I laughed and turned around.

"Well I'm taking my pillows back and going to pack." I pilled about five pillows in my arms and kicked the door open, walking into my room,

"Professor Snape?" I called,

"What is it Ms. Vulpes?"

"Do we have to come back?"

"Dumbledore would prefer it if you did." I frowned and threw everything I packed back into my bag and zipped it back up, walking back in,

"Do I have to stay very long?" Draco picked up on that grammatical switch up at once,

"Wait, I?" I nodded,

"We both know that if Potter takes another hit at you I will most likely punch him in the face." He shuddered,

"Did you know you almost broke my jaw in third year? Granger's slap felt pitiful after that." I laughed, glancing at our teacher who was looking between us coldly,

"Oh…yah…that…sorry…"

"You punched Mr. Malfoy in third year?" I blushed, looking at my feet,

"Ya…he was being… uh… well he was being Draco, and this was before I had gotten used to it."

"Oh, of course." Draco looked insulted and tried to defend himself but I elbowed him in the side to shut him up,

"So when are we leaving?"

"As soon as you say your good-byes." I raised my eyebrow,

"That wont take long, I just to say good-bye to…four people. I'll be back!"

I hurried out of the room; going to say goodbye, but I was quick, all I did was run down to the dining room, say bye and run back up. I was not expecting what I heard through that door.

Draco's POV

As soon as Morgan left Snape turned to me,

"You know what will happen soon." He stated, the fear that had been swirling in my gut I had tried to ignore since the Dark Lord was resurrected returned with twice as much force,

"I will not follow in his footsteps." I hissed.

"Sometimes we do not have a choice, you also know—"

"I KNOW!" I exploded, "If I am somehow forced to become one of you I have to leave Morgan, to protect her, and never see her again, her father is a traitor according to the Dark Lord, and she foiled his plans. She could get killed." The door slammed open and I spun around, horrified, to see Morgan. "M-Morgan."

"If you join, I join."

Even Snape was taken off guard,

"Excuse me?" she glared at Snape,

"You heard me, if Draco becomes a Death Eater, I become a Death Eater." I had never heard her sound so determined.

"But Morgan, he hates you and your father." Snape pointed out. She barked out a cold laugh,

"It's called lying. I can just saw my Father was a fool, as soon as I found he betrayed the Dark Lord over a woman I despised him, I have been dreaming of regaining my family's honor since I was able to understand, I could tell him I would've gladly given him the power of my fox half but it took control of me, forced me to shift forms." I was in shock,

"But I'm not going to become one of them anyway, you won't have to lie like that and put yourself in danger." I said, trying to keep my voice calm.

"But what if you do? Do you think I could just let you leave me? Do you think I could live with myself if you got hurt?" tears were starting to well up in her eyes but she shook her head angrily, "I will stay by your side—EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!" she screamed, tears now flowing freely from her eyes. Snape cleared his throat awkwardly and walked out, muttering about giving us some time alone.

Morgan was sobbing, she had backed up and slid down the wall, wrapping her arms around her knees. I sat down next to her,

"Morgan I—"but I stopped, I heard Morgan saying something quietly,

"Mother, Father, Granny, Grandpappy, Her and now Draco…I can't take it anymore, I can't lose anyone else."

No wonder she was so upset…I'm an idiot. She's already lost her entire family and her other half and now I was telling her if I was forced to become a Death Eater I was going to leave her too. But I couldn't let her become a murderer!

"Morgan, I will not become one of them but if I am somehow forced to I will not leave your side." She lifted her head slowly,

"Draco, I know you're denying it right now but I know and you know that that will never work unless I join you."

She was right, I knew that the Dark Lord would never allow any of his Death Eaters to be associated with traitors or daughters of traitors and no good Death Eater would think of it anyway.

"It won't come to that." I said finally, tilting my head up importantly, but she wouldn't get off the subject,

"But if it does I'll be by you side, no matter what." She said with just as much finality, wiping the tears from her eyes,

"I think we should go, Professor Snape left a little awkwardly…" I hinted. Her face turned deep scarlet,

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I forgot he was there!" she stammered. I smiled and stood up, placing my hand out for her to take. She took one look at the hand and giggled, yes giggled. Morgan Vulpes just giggled.

"Wow! That was girly of me!" she exclaimed and took my hand, "But it was just such an old fashioned gesture I couldn't help it!" she kept laughing, I was happy that that little gesture cheered her up.

"Let's go." Out of habit I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me but Morgan twirled out of my grasp and smirked, flouncing away and out the door.

Okay…?

I grabbed both of our bags and walked downstairs, wondering what was up with her.

Two hours later and we were back in the manor. It looked even fancier after staying in that Black house. Morgan had been acting strangely still and keeping away from coming into contact with me but talking and acting chipper, it was bugging me.

Morgan's POV

I acted like everything was fine, I talked and I laughed but I was confused. I had just said I would become a Death Eater if Draco did and, no matter how much he wanted to deny it, it was most likely going to happen. I had just turned against my entire family, against my fox form for the selfish reason of keeping Draco all to myself. I felt disgusted with myself; I didn't feel like I should be allowed to be with him, to feel his touch so I refused to give myself that joy of being near him.

As soon as we got back I gave Draco some crap about being tired and not sleeping well last night, which he knew was bull but allowed me my alone time.

I went in, locked all the doors and sunk into a corner, bringing my knees to my chest and wrapping my arms around them, staring in front of me, trying to figure this out.

I gave up my fox for the selfish reason of wanting to live.

I possibly just put Draco in great danger just for the selfish reason of not wanting him to leave.

I am a selfish person.

Selfish.

Someone knocked on the door but I didn't answer. They went away.

Some time later someone knocked on the door again but I didn't answer, keeping myself in my corner, the person gave up.

That's how I stayed for the next week. Someone tried to get in every hour but I never let them in, I barricaded the doors so, no matter how many times they unlocked the door they couldn't get in.

"Morgan please! Let me in."

Draco's voice pleaded from the other side of the door, his voice was so desperate my body twitched, wanting to go to him, to comfort him but instead I just curled closer into myself, I don't know why he would even be trying to get me out of here, I pretty much just screwed him over, forcing myself into his world so he wouldn't leave me, because I'm selfish.

"Morgan, let me in, I need to talk to you."

I looked up at the door and forced myself to my feet, this must be the talk I've been expecting, the one where he calls me a selfish bitch and tells me to get out of his life forever.

I stumbled, my legs sore and stiff but managed to pull whatever I had blocking the door away and walked back to my corner, I knew the door was unlocked.

"Morgan…"

"You can open it." I said, my voice barley louder than a whisper, raspy from lack of use. Somehow he heard me and slammed the door open, making me jump but then just going back to the floor.

"Morgan! You look awful! Come on, we need to get you fixed up." I shook my head,

"What did you want to talk to me about?" I asked, my voice regaining a little volume,

"We need to talk about…whatever's wrong with you."

"Selfish." I muttered,

"Excuse me?" he asked, taken aback, he must think I was calling him selfish,

"I'm selfish."

"Morgan…not this again, I told you the first time you weren't selfish and I'm sticking to it." I didn't look up,

"I don't like liars." I sighed.

"Then it's a good thing I'm not a liar." he said firmly. "Now what's up, you've been acting strange ever since you said you were going to become a Death Eater if I did. Tell me." he commanded

"I told you, I'm selfish, I could be putting you in danger just because I don't want to leave you." He didn't say anything for a few minutes,

"Morgan…" I prepared myself, "You're not being selfish, I would've gone the same thing if you said you were going to leave me for some group." I blinked and looked up at Draco, his gray eyes shining.

"Really?" he nodded, wrapping his arms around my shoulders,

"Really, now we need to get you cleaned up and get you some food, you lost a lot a weight." I glanced down at myself and almost smiled,

"Fine, but I want to get cleaned up first, leave." I stood up again, grabbed some clothes and walked into the bathroom. I was halfway undressed when I realized I'd forgotten another shirt. I frowned, Draco better not be out there.

I walked out in a new pair of shorts and a bra and went over to my trunk, pulling out a shirt and turning around, where (SURPRISE!) Draco was standing, his face beet red.

"Uh…" I blushed but didn't move,

"What is it Draco?" I asked calmly, forcing my mind to believe I was actually wearing a shirt,

"I just uh…" I waved my hand, waiting for him to finish; he cleared his throat and looked me dead in the eyes, which of course I knew to mean his was trying very hard to not look down, "I was just checking to see if you were okay…and I dropped my wand." He pointed to it, a few feet from me and I walked over, picked it up and walked over to give it to him,

"T-Thanks." I nodded, and turned away, going back to the bathroom and shutting the door, trying to cool my blush.

It took me almost an hour to get ready, 30 of those minutes was just brushing my hair and the other was trying to clean off my face, any make up I had on had smeared and then became caked to my face, my eyes were bloodshot and I had dark bags under my eyes, thanks to the invention of muggle make-up I looked a little better but I really had lost weight.

I walked back out again and found my room surprisingly empty, but there was a warm plate of food on my side table. I felt my mouth water and I jogged over to it, eating it within minutes. After I finished I piled the dishes together, I knew a house elf would get them later.

"Draco?" I called,

"Yes Love?" he opened the door carefully, giving me a quick once over to make sure I was wearing all my clothing,

"Can we go get something to eat?" he pointed to the empty plates,

"Oh there's…" he noticed the plates were empty, "Let's go down to the kitchen, I'm sure the elves will give you something." I forced a smile,

"What time is it?" he glanced at his watch,

"About 2 AM." I met his eyes in shock,

"What are you still doing up?" he glared at me and didn't answer.

We walked down through the now familiar halls until he took a turn I had never gone down before and took a few turns, ending up at an empty wall. I usually would question this but the door to my common room was an empty wall so I kept quiet. He reached out and grabbed an invisible handle and pulled the door open. All the house elves (there were about ten) froze and bowed deeply towards Draco,

"Hello Master Draco and Mistress Morgan." I was shocked that they addressed me as well and I think so was Draco,

"We need some food." He said and the elves swarmed us, I took whatever looked good and ate it, a little bit of happiness returning to my heart at the slightly shocked look of Draco's face as all the elves swarmed me. But he seemed happy enough to see me smile.

A/N- To tell you the truth: I hate this chapter, it's awkward and seems ooc…for my oc, which is saying something in my special talent of messing things up buuuut it got my point across. Now the next chapter is the last in 'The Black Fox' but I do have a sequel set up and I'm already about half-way done with it. ENJOY AND REVIEW!
