Lost

That morning at breakfast Drake didn't show up, nor did he show up for the periods between breakfast and lunch and at lunch too his presents was sorely missed. No one knew the reason for his disappearance, except Peeves and the walls of Hogwarts…  

Drake had begun to believe that Hogwarts hated him. He had been late for every single class that whole week and now he was in a dark dusty corridor that seemed totally deserted, except for him of course. He was glad that he had brought Teardrop's bottle with him for the poor pup had been hungry throughout the day and he didn't know what he would have done if he couldn't feed her.

Now however his stomach was telling him that it wouldn't stand for skipping another meal. He sat down against the wall with Teardrop in his lap. "Now what girl?" he asked her as he ran his thumb over her furry face. She just looked at him with her big brown eyes and yawned.

It started a chain reaction for soon Drake was yawning uncontrollably. He positioned himself comfortably against the wall and soon he was fast asleep. He dreamt he was in a maze and that Draco was in the middle, waiting to be rescued but everyway he turned a Death Eater was waiting for him.

He was woke by the chill of one of the ghosts moving through his shoulder. He was just in time to see the last bit of white before the ghost had disappeared through the wall. Drake jumps up, hammering and at the wall in hopes that the ghost might come back and show him the way out of the corridor but the ghost either couldn't hear him through the thick wall or chose not to hear him.

After he had yelled his voice hoarse he sank down on his knees, resting his head against the wall in defeat. "I wish I never came here. I wish I had just staid home. Why me?" he muttered and he held Teardrop. The little wolf, only wanting to bring a little comfort to her master, licks his fingers. He smiles down at her. " It'll be okay, we just have to figure out how we got in here to begin with."

A noise somewhere along the corridor startles him and causes him to jump to his feet. It was a good thing to because a moment later a darkly clad figure appeared in front of him in the corridor. He could see nothing of it except the mouth, which was twisted into an evil smirk.

"Greetings, young mister Cerberus and how are you today?" the figure asked as it slowly walked towards Drake. Instinctively however Drake backed away, pulling his wand out of his sleeve as he went. "Who are you, what do you want?" Drake asked, causing the figure to chuckle. "Don't you remember me? You got away last time but this time you would be so lucky."

The figure removes it's hood. "You can't apparate or disapparate within these walls." Lucius Malfoy said as he came close enough to tower out above Drake. "Voldemort would be very pleased if I went back with you"

At the mention of the word Voldemort, Drake pointed his wand at Lucius and shouted a spell he had never even heard before. It sent Lucius flying backwards, giving Drake time to turn and run. He ran blindly through the twisting corridors but which ever way he turned Lucius was right behind him.

Now Peeves had been watching Drake the whole time but even he knew that Drake was in terrible danger, so for once and only once he decided to help someone. It wasn't free help mind you, every thing has a price and the price in this case was every high, but Drake would be willing to pay it, he had now choice.

As Drake turned a hidden corner he rested against the wall for a moment to get his breath back. His breathed in great gulps of air and his whole body ached. He checked on Teardrop and was relieved that she was still okay, if only a little shaken.

That is when Peeves made his move. "Mister Cerberus. I have a proposition for you. I help you if you do something for me." Peeves said as he appeared before Drake. He whispered into Drake' ear what he wanted and it made Drake's eyes go wide. Drake was about to tell Peeves where to go and what to do with himself when he got there but just then he heard Lucius shout behind him and he had no choice but to agree.

He jumped up and followed Peeves to a hidden door, he fell against it, to tired to run or even to stand anymore and it opened up, letting him fall into Lupin's classroom. A few of the girls screamed and Lupin rushed over and helped him up he looked at the place where the door was closing and was just in time to see Lucius stop and curse. Turning back to the class he asked if anyone would take the pup. After a few moments Harry came forward and took Teardrop out of Drake's arms.

"Drake are you alright?" Lupin asked as he held both of Drake's shoulders to hold him upright. "I'm fine Drake said and then passed out from exhaustion. Lupin picked him up and carried him to the hospital wing, Harry following behind carrying Teardrop.

The poor wolf was howling, trying to tell them what happened with little noises. Lupin turned to her and ran a hand gentle over her. "In a minute, lets get him to bed first." He said and Harry gaped at him "You can understand her?" he asked as he followed Lupin. "Why yes Harry, I am a werewolf and thus I have to trouble understanding wolves."

They walked in silence and after Drake was left in the care of Madam Pomfrey, Lupin took Teardrop from Harry and went to have a nice little chat with the wolf pup. What he found out confirmed his worst fear; the Death Eaters could get into Hogwarts and were still after Drake.

The fact that Lucius had gotten in meant that there was a traitor in Hogwarts, the trouble was he didn't know who, yet.
