Disclaimer: J. K. Rawlings owns Harry Potter

Hermione looked around. Death Eaters were everywhere. The hooded men and women made her shudder. Ginny had Harry in chains. Lucius stepped up and said, "Let me take care of this."

"Hell no," Ginny replied. "You ain't gonna bring Potter in just so you can redeem yourself for sleeping with that muggle."

"Who do you think you are Weasley?!" Lucius boomed.

"One of The Dark Lord's favorites, unlike you," Ginny teased.

While the arguing was going on, Hermione and Ron managed to free Harry and they escaped. "It won't please the Dark Lord if you show up empty handed," Lucius teased.

"What!" Ginny looked around and realized that Harry was gone. She looked pissed. "Damnit!" she swore as she ran out into Diagon Alley.

One set of ice blue eyes blankly watched the sun dip lower into the horizon. Draco sighed deeply. He thought about the whore he slept with last night as he struggled to remember her name.

'Mindy,' he thought, 'or was it Mandy?' He couldn't remember. He heard footsteps and snarled as Peter Pettigrew walked into his suite.

"What?" Draco hissed.

"The Dark Lord wishes to see you," Peter stuttered.

"Fine," Draco muttered.

Draco got up and walked to Voldermort's room. Voldermort stood up from his seat. "Draco come in. Have a seat,"

"You wished to see me, my lord?" Draco asked.

"Yes. It seems you are going through depression and it is affecting your work. You know what happens to Death Eaters that aren't doing there best," Voldermort said while pulling out his wand. "They are punished severely. I really would hate to have to punish my best Death Eater without a warning so you have one chance Draco. Just one chance to redeem yourself. After that, you will be punished to the full extent. Do you understand Draco?" Voldermort threatened.

"Yes, my Lord. I understand."

"Good. Is there anything I can help you with?" Voldermort asked.

"Love," Draco muttered.

"What did you say!?" Voldermort thundered.
