Once upon a time there was you, Once upon a time there was me, Funny we met. Goyle -

Hermione laughed as she read the note from Goyle and hurriedly reached deep inside her pocket for her Quill.

Once upon a time there was love, Once upon a time there was hate, Funny we love. - Hermione -

Tying the identically phrased note to Crookshank's waiting paw, she watched her run away and scramble up onto Goyle's lap. He beamed at he as he opened it and left it open on the table before he went out to find his bag. They were sitting in Arithmancy, Harry next to Hermione, absent mindedly copying down notes and Goyle next to Crabbe who was busy picking his nose.

Draco looked towards Hermione who sat eagerly waiting for his reply. Glaring at Goyle coming back through the doorway of the classroom, he did not notice Pansy tugging at his arm.

"Draco." Pansy simpered.

Sighing, he turned around to look at Pansy and she whispered, "So, are yougoing to join the BR or not?"

Draco thought silently in his mind before he gave his reply, "Yeah, probably."

"You should! We caqn then finally get rid of the ugly Granger! Together!" Pansy answered ernestly.

Draco forced a smirk onto his good-looking face while his mind said something different. "You're wrong Pansy, you're the one who's ugly."

Pansy smiled sweetly and drew a big heart next to Draco's name in his book.

Draco found the arithmancy numbers funnily comforting and voices in his mind argued to each other about Hermione, about BR - his mind was about to burst with confusion and frustration when he felt a pinch on his arm.

He was about to say, "Shut up Pansy," when he saw Goyle grinning at him stupidly. Goyle shoved Draco the note Hermione had given him.

"She likes me too!" it said at the bottom of the parchment.

Draco fell into disbelief. That smile from Hermione at the meeting - or was she just looking for Goyle? Then his father's voice echoed through his brain.

"Hermione Granger - mudblood and victim" and Pansy's voice, "we can get rid of Granger! Together!"

He had listened to his father all his life. He mindlessly scratched at the heart Pansy had drawn in his book. Granger was special.pretty really. But she was a.

"Mudblood!" he shouted.

The whole class gasped. Goyle stared at Draco thinking it was his angry answer to his note.

Shocked, the professor said, "Mr Malfoy, I ask you not to use profanity and rude words in my class, or any class for that matter. Please sit down and control yourself." Draco blushed and the class broke into a mass of quiet whispers. What would Hermione have thought? Thought Draco. Making up his mind, he prepared a parchment to his father, in becoming a member of the BR.

*

Back in a person's dorm, someone took out a piece of pink scented paper from his drawer.

* The dark smoke filled the room with stifling suffocation. Luscious stood up at the end of a large table, his cold, grey eyes sweeping the room, looking for any sign of guiltiness among his fellow members of the BR.

Draco's mouth was filled with smoke and he coughed softly as Pansy stood next to him, gloating with pride.

Luscious came and stood direftly in front of Draco and Luscious saw the eyes of his son look back up to him, the same likeness of silver of his own eyes, but with a tint of blue displaying his wife's beautiful eyes.

"Draco my boy." Luscious smiled softly, "What an excellent choice you've made.kill the whole Potter gang.you'll seen be the Dark Lord's heir."

Draco turned his eyes downward to stare at his feet and the ground. He didn't really want to kill anyone; killing was not what he wanted. Luscious made his way back towards the head of the table where he thumped loudly on the wood with his fist. "Welcome, my fellow associates of the Black Ring - haters and enemies of mudbloods. We are here to welcome two new members to our organisation, and to also discuss the plans needed to kill our most hated enemies of all, Potter, Granger and Dumbledore." Luscious lifted his eyebrows and his eyes glinted. He gestured towards the back of the table where Draco and Pansy were seated.

"Today, we bring together the children of our blood, my son and Mr and Mrs Parkinon's gorgeous daughter." He smiled and Pansy nudged Draco who looked up and saw his father telling him to come towards the head of the table. Draco stood up slowly and he accompanied Pansy side by side towards Luscious.

"Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson." Draco's father motioned, "you have made the happiest choices in your lives today, we, together as a team will forever deliver our master's joy and his rise to full authority." Pansy smiled at Luscious beside Draco, but Draco could not bear to smile as it hurt him to think that the was going to kill innocent people.
