Chapter 2-Midnight Sneak Out
Kat moved in the shadows inside of the Ravenclaw common room. She slipped on a black hooded cloak, and quietly stepped around to the doorway. She looked around the room one last time, and reached for the knob.
"Kat!" she heard a voice whisper behind her. Kat spun around, eyes wide. She relaxed when she saw the alarmed face of her friend, Cho.
"Where are you going?" Cho asked suspiciously.
Kat grabbed Cho's hand, "Cho, this is gonna sound stupid, but I can't tell you where I'm going, but you can't tell anyone I'm gone, I promise, I'll be back by morning." Kat begged, sounding rushed.
Cho looked at Kat, surprised. Then her eyes softened and she flashed Kat a quick smile.
"Go ahead, I'm sure whatever you're going to do is okay." Cho said, and winked. Kat matched her smile.
Kat finally pushed her way out the door swiftly, and carefully walked the halls of the school her boots making only the faintest sound on the stone floor. To Kat, it wasn't difficult at all to get around Hogwarts, for every time she saw a school prefect, they were too busy talking or flirting with another to notice Kat slinking around the corner.
After about fifteen minutes, Kat's amethyst eyes flicked up to see the exit she needed to take to get to the Dark Forest. Kat's leg stepped forward, but her other leg didn't budge.
"Do I really want to do this? Do I really want to see him again?" Kat thought to herself. "I have to." She urged herself on. Determined, Kat started to walk forward.....
Suddenly, she felt an arm circled around her waist and a warm hand covering her mouth. Her jaw strained to bite her attacker, but the hand was sealed over her mouth. She craned her neck to try to catch a glimpse of her captor, but all she saw was a strand of.....Platinum blonde hair???!!!?
Her eyebrows lowered into a frown. "Draco you jackass, you prick!!!" Kat thought. She took her hand and grabbed one of his arms and twisted around as hard as she could. She heard Draco yelp in pain from behind her, and she smiled as she struggled out of his grip.
"You little bitch!" Draco yelled at her. Kat still smiling was about to fire something back at him, but that's when she saw three prefects running down the hall, heading right for them.
"What the hell is she looking at?" Draco though to himself. He spun around and his eyes widened. He grabbed Kat's arm and pulled her towards the huge, wood exit doors.
"The huge, locked, doors." Draco soon realized
Kat pulled her arm away from Draco and flashed him a dirty look as she pulled out her wand. Alohamora! Kat chanted. The lock busted open with a huge red flash. Kat attempted to push the doors open, but they opened only the slightest bit, seeing as how they were very heavy to Kat. Of course, Superman Malfoy opened the doors with one push. Kat blushed deeply, and gave him a second filthy look as she ran out the doors.
Kat ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She saw Hagrid's Hut in front of her, and once she saw that the light was on, and she knew they would have to sneak around it. She stopped in her tracks and started to creep when Draco ran into her and toppled over on top of her.
Draco now sat on top of Kat, "What the bloody hell is wrong with you, woman, you don't just stop!" he whispered furiously. Kat noticed that his hair was still perfectly slicked back, but was highlighted with mud and a stick coming out of it from the back.
Kat's head fell back on the grass and she started to laugh hysterically while weakly trying to push Draco off of her.
Draco took her hands off his chest and pushed them back above her head, lying on top of her. "Now, tell me who you're the daughter of, that you could possibly be chosen to be a death eater." He said forcefully. Kat stared at him mischievously, and brought her knee up to his, erm, crotch. His eyes squinted in pain as she rolled him off of her.
"Draco, I'm sure you can get many women to tell you their secret while your on top of them, but not me." Kat said smartly, "So if you want to keep your good spot, good, I suggest you don't try that again." She winked at him as she skipped along to the entrance of the forest.
Draco's flaming icy eyes followed her as she went, as the burning between his legs lessened. He found the strength to catch up to her, and stayed silent when he did. They both stopped dead in their tracks when they reached the entrance of the forest. There was a paper scroll floating there in a purple fog. Draco reached his hand into the haze and grabbed the scroll quickly. Kat looked over Draco's shoulder as they both read the creamy white paper.
Draco Malfoy and Kat Darrigan-
If you truly are death eater material, you must venture into the dreaded Dark Forest, and find the Dark Lord's and his followers' meeting place, hidden deep within the forest. You have one hour.
We looked into the forest at the same time. "I think I'm shaking." Kat thought nervously. The forest was full of spaced out bushy, fir trees that has tips that touched the sky, and in between the trees, there was a thick, white smoke hanging over the dirt ground.
Kat jumped when she heard the howling of a wolf. She looked up to the sky, and saw the moon glowing an eerie orange color with a red haze draped around it. Blood on the Moon, Kat thought.
Draco's scared eyes suddenly turned to stone and he looked into mine, and he brought his face close to Kat's, and whispered "Scared, Ka-t?" he played with the t at the end of her name as she felt his hot breath on her neck.
She pushed him away, but he only stepped forward towards her once more. "Come on, I'll hold your hand." He said tauntingly as he smirked at Kat. He reached out his gloved hand, and she realized he was wearing his Quidditch uniform. He didn't wait for her to say anything he just grabbed her hand and pulled her into the darkness of the forest.
Being pulled in surprised Kat, but she was too scared to let go of his hand. Her dark eyes flashed around the forest, straining to see. Draco pulled her to the left, "I think we should go this way." He said, not giving her a choice. She glanced to the right and saw a big wall of trees, making it impossible for anything to be there.
"For once, your right, Draco." She said. Kat went with him reluctantly, nervously gripping his hand.
The two walked on for about 15 minutes, and still found nothing. Draco looked around to see they were in a big circle of smoke.
"Perfect" He thought to himself.
"Great plan, genius." Kat shot at him, her eyes piercing his as she sat down, her hand still intertwined with his. He glanced down at her, not bothered by her comment, and sat down too. He cropped his chin up on his elbow and thought as he looked around. Kat stared at him, seeing if he would catch on. He didn't.
"Hello! We should have gone the other fucking way!" She yelled at him like he was mentally unstable. She took her right hand and thwacked him over the head. He rubbed his head and gave her an evil glare.
He turned his back to her and started to think again, "How could we have gone the wrong way, if the other way was a dead end?" His icy eyes searched the sky for answers.
His train of though was broken when he felt Kat's warm hand close around his in a bone breaking kind of tight. "What the hell? Are you trying to -----"
Draco's eyes opened wide. He realized why Kat was freaking out.
There, directly in front of them, was a pack of snarling, see- through, ghastly white wolves.
"Run!" Kat yelped as she jumped up. But Draco was way ahead of her, he had already taken off the way they came. Kat sped up and was right on his tail. She turned her head to see the ghost wolf pack drooling and running at an amazing speed behind them. Light shined in her eyes as the moon peeked out from the gray night clouds. Kat heard pained whimpering behind her, and she spun her head around to see the wolves vanishing as the moonlight hit their fur.
Kat stopped and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Draco saw she had stopped and ran back to her. He pulled her up by her shoulder, and whirled her around to face him.
"Come on, Darrigan, we have to keep going! We only have fifteen minutes." He said hurriedly.
Kat gave him an exhausted look, but got up anyway. Kat and Draco began walking again when she heard grotesque slurping. She saw a man hooded in black, and whispered to Draco.
"If we follow this guy, and he's a death eater, no doubt he'll go to the meeting place." She said excitedly.
"No shit, Darrigan." Malfoy whispered back, breaking her excitement. She threw him a death glare, and turned her eyes back to the hooded man.
Sure enough, the black figure levitated in the air, and glided deeper into the forest. Draco and Kat tried their best to keep up without making any noise. The figure landed down by a tree. It reached a pale, bony hand out from under the robes, and stuck its hand through the tree, and stepped through.
Draco bent down to Kat's ear and said "Okay, either that tree is exactly like Platform 9 ¾, or that man had the power dematerialize."
"There's only one way to find out" Kat replied. She cautiously stood up and placed her foot on fallen leaves, making a small crunch sound. She heard Draco get up behind her, and she swifly ran up to the magic tree. She faced her side to the front of the tree, and tried to listen for any sounds on the other side of the tree. Nothing.
She jumped back when she saw Draco's muscular arm reach into the tree, and then he himself venture though the tree. Kat just stood there, afraid of what had happened to him on the other side, but realized it was simply foolish to just sit there. So she put her hand closer, and closer to the tree.....
DARRIGAN! Are you coming? Kat heard Draco's voice echo through the forest.
"Um, yes." She said meekly. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and pushed herself through the tree. As she walked through the black- barked tree, it felt as if an ice-cold hand seized her heart. She shook off the feeling and opened her eyes.
She gasped at what she saw. It was a giant, black castle. It had a steel gate, and just like the forest, had a smoky haze towards the bottom. It reminded her of a haunted house, lurking with ghosts and ghouls.
She glanced around for Draco, but he was nowhere to be found. She carefully pushed open the gate and it squeaked horribly as it opened. She walked down the faded path to the giant doors.
"What is it with castles and heavy doors?" Kat thought. She planted her feet down to push, but before she even touched the doors, they creaked open by themselves. She slipped in the door carefully.
There were hundreds of death eaters standing in a row on either side of a grey long carpet leading up to a giant chair where a young man was sitting lazily talking to Draco.
Kat slowly walked up to the chair and slinked beside Draco. The young man just looked at me, and did something like a nod to acknowledge my presence. Draco kept his eyes fixed on the young man.
"Um, do you know where my father is?" Kat questioned the man. The young man smiled, almost wickedly.
"Daughter, it's me." He said evily.
She looked at him boredly. "Another new body?" She said knowingly. "I was bored with my old one." He drawled.
Kat glanced over at Draco, and he was looking from Kat to Voldemort. Oh, I forgot, I never told him. Kat thought to herself.
Her father spoke, "Draco Malfoy, are you ready to serve under the Dark Lord for life, as a death eater?" My father looked stiffly at Draco. Kat could see right through his body and into his black little heart.
"Yes." Said Draco in a deep voice.
Voldemort smiled slightly, "Very well." He stated. "Now, Daughter." He said just as deeply.
Daughter? I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't know my real name, Kat thought.
"Are you ready to serve under the Dark Lord for life, as a Death Eater?" he said simply. Kat glared daggers at her father.
"Never" Kat said.
