Emma: I like the idea of a redeemable Draco too. What happened in Order of the Phoenix? As I've said in a previous chapter somewhere, I've only actually read the first book, and that was like 2 years ago. ^^; I'm still not quite sure why I made Snape find Sable and not someone else. I'm just weird that way, I guess. I was torn about the name. It was either going to be Ebony or Sable. I chose Sable because... Well, I just did.
Shena: Thanks for the compliments. ^^;;;;; The story idea you said was one I actually considered, but I dunno. I'm still in the process of considering everything. I let the story write itself. Please keep reading and reviewing, or I just might starve to death. ;)

"Sable?" Draco peeked into the Slytherin common room. "Come on out, it's dinner time."
"I'm not hungry," Sable shrugged and looked up from the cd player she was turning on. "I'll be here when you get back."
"Why did you like staying in here all alone?" Draco stepped inside the room. "And what's that?"
"It's a cd player," Sable grinned. "Severus used to get them for me sometimes for when he was gone and I was bored. I've even been allowed to go to America and in muggle stores to get cds."
"Cd player? Cds?" Draco frowned. "What does it do?"
"It plays music," Sable pulled Draco over and pressed the play button. "Listen!"
"I can't hardly tell what they're saying!" Draco exclaimed after a minute of listening.
"This is a band called the Sex Pistols," Sable grinned. "There's a lot of songs you can barely understand. They're a punk band."
"Punk band?" Draco raised an eyebrow. "Strange terms."
"Yeah," Sable laughed and sat back in a chair. "I think you'd like some of the bands I listen to."
"If they all sounds like this..." Draco trailed off.
"The Sex Pistols are great!" Sable exclaimed, sitting up. "You just have to get used to them."
"Sure," he eyed the cd player. "Come on, come eat dinner. You didn't eat yesterday or today."
"I'm not hungry," Sable shook her head. "Maybe tomorrow."
"No, today, Sable," Draco crossed his arms.
"Fine," Sable rolled her eyes, flipped her cd player off, and followed Draco out to the Great Hall. "There's Vince and Greg," Draco pulled Sable over to sit by them. "Hey, Vince, Greg."
"Hey," They eyed Sable, who smiled nervously.
"Can't you guys just talk and become friends or anything?" Draco groaned as he began eating. "Sable, eat."
"I'm not hungry, Draco," Sable said. "I'll just wait until you're done."
"You're going to fucking eat," Draco glanced over at her. "If you don't of your own will, I'll shove it down your throat."
"Okay, then," Sable grinned and raised an eyebrow, taking a few bites of her food.
"Draco," Vincent spoke. "We need to talk to you after dinner."
"What about?" Draco frowned.
"You know what about."
"Okay," Draco nodded and stood up. "I'm ready. Sable's coming with me."
"What?" Greg looked up in surprise. "But-"
"She's coming with," Draco cut him off.
"Fine," Greg sighed and stood up. "Come on."
"Come on Sable," Draco pulled her after them.
"I thought you wanted me to eat?" Sable teased.
"But you weren't going to, no matter what I said," Draco smirked.
"So?" Sable laughed.
They reached the dark hallways and silently began making their way to the Slytherin common room. Once inside, Vincent and Gregory glanced at her suspiciously. Draco sighed impatiently. With a last glance at Sable, Vincent began to speak.
"My mother sent me an owl," he began, speaking slowly. "It said that your father is going to make you a Death Eater during the next break. Whether you want to or not."
"But how?" Draco frowned. "Voldemort would know if I didn't want to. He wouldn't take the chance of having someone unfaithful to him in his ranks."
"I don't know," Vincent shrugged. "Maybe Imperius?"
"Maybe," Draco murmured. "What about you guys?"
"Both of our parents are giving us a choice," Greg said. "Even if theya re really mad that we don't want to."
"Lucky bastards," Draco smirked. "Anyway, thanks for telling me. I think I'm gonna go talk to Sable for a while."
"Okay," Vincent frowned. "We'll see you later?"
"Yeah," Draco nodded. "I'll see you guys later."

Okay, I didn't finish this as fast as I wanted to. From now on, I'm going to try to concentrate on an update a day again. Of course, I have been writing at least a chapter a day, just for more stories than this one. ^^; I jsut hope I don't give in to my urges and start another story. Anyway, review!
