Part nine:
"Mr Malfoy." Dumbledore started as Draco sat in his office. "I am afraid I have some bad news." His voce sounded sad but it didn't reach his eyes. "Your father has been murdered by Voldemort." 'But you already know that don't you' he added silently. He knew Draco was Death Eater he just knew it but he had absolutely no way of proving it. Draco plastered the appropriate look of sadness on his face.
"When did the occur?" He asked quietly.
"Halloween." Dumbledore answered. "Now that you are 17 and technically an adult you have the right to decide what you want to do with yourself. You may of course spend your holidays here if you do so desire." Draco fought the urge to snort in disgust. 'Ha, Hogwarts won't even be around them.' "I'll give you as long as you need to come a decision." Dumbledore motioned that Draco could now leave.
He leaned against the wall outside of the headmaster's office. Thinking over the meeting. 'He didn't even care' Draco thought bitterly 'he had just told me my father was dead and he didn't give a damm about the way it affected me. If I were one of his precious Gryffindor's thing would have been different. He would have been fawning over me. But no the muggle loving bastard doesn't give a shit about a quarter of his students. And he says my lord had prejudices HA." Draco went on with his rant to himself for a while but eventually he roused himself. He swaggered off towards the Dungeons to see what his lovers were up to.

Sal looked up at Draco from his perch on Sev's couch. And blinked slowly.
"So want did the fool want with you?" he asked.
"Well he just had to tell me that he was enamoured by my physical charms. What do you think he wanted me for? Not to tell me that my father had been killed or anything." Sal gave a snort of laughter.
"Well I have something to tell you." Sal smirked.
"Oh really."
"Yes really." A dark figure appeared behind Draco.
"Am I invited to hear this revelation as well?" Sev asked.
"Of course. I found out some interesting news from our lord yesterday. It seems like Isabelle in reality goes to Hogwarts." The two looked shocked.
"Well who is it then?" Draco asked exasperatedly.
"Dear little Ginny Weasley." Draco laughed.
"Sal you almost had me going there. But no way could she be the dark lords consort. She is the very embodied of sweetness and light." Sal quirked an eyebrow.
"Au contraire. She is Isabelle and not only that she is the reincarnation of my mother." Sev gasped at that. He carefully gathered his thoughts together.
"Well that would explain a lot." He said carefully. "Some of the mannerisms are the same. And her ability to hide who she truly is, fits as well. Lily was an expert actress." Sal nodded cheerily.
"And now to fill you both in on the plan. I am to try and seduce Isabelle, well pretend to. The muggle lovers believe that she has a crush on me. She likewise will be trying to convince them that she is only playing along to gain information. This will give us the perfect opportunity to spend more time together. And also more time for her to help us with our mission." Sev smiled.
"Lily was an expert sorceress, her help will be invaluable." Draco smiled devilishly.
"Plus another thing to rile the Gryffindor's. Which is always worth doing."
"Here. Here." Sal cheered.
******************
Ginny groaned as she tried to sit up. A wave of agony washed through her head. She lay back down as she tried to keep a hold of the contents of her stomach. 'I am never drinking again.' She vowed to herself, but even as she said it she knew that it was a lie. She said that every time and always the vow was broken. She muttered some charms to make sure all traces of drugs and alcohol ere out of her system. Unfortunately she couldn't get rid of the hangover from her without a potion. Which she had no way of getting without compromising her cover.
"Ginny." Sarah Conner called. 'Filthy mudblood' Ginny thought another wave of nausea passed over her due to the girl's yell. Ginny groaned. "Oh my god. What is wrong?" The girl asked worriedly. 'There is no god' Ginny thought snidely 'and the only person that even comes close isn't going to give a damm about you.'
"I don't feel well." Ginny murmured, 'you stupid bitch is it not fairly obvious clutching my stomach moaning.
"Poor Ginny. We have to get you madam Pomfrey." The girl announced.
************
Ginny lay curled up in one of the infirmary beds. Pomfrey had said that she had a case of food poisoning.
"Ginny." The nurse sad briskly, "I have called professor Snape and he will be up soon with the appropriate potion." Ginny murmured thanks.
A black robed figure stalked into the room, potion in hand.
"Ah Severus. Thank you for bringing up the potion." Sev smirked, the witch had asked for a cure to food poisoning but he knew very well that was not what was wrong with the girl. "Would you be as kind as to keep an eye on the girl while I run an errand. Sev grunted an agreement.
With the witch gone Sev turned to look at the small with lying in the bed. It was hardly possible that she was the reincarnation of his best friend. She handed her the potion.
"I took the liberty of bringing you a hang over cure instead. Sal, Draco and I have already taken it."
"Thank you Shadow." She whispered. Shadow was what Lily used to call him, a reference to his ability to almost become part of the shadows. A handy skill to have. Lily was the only person that ever used that nickname. Sev gave her a genuine smile. He held up his hand, displaying the ring.
"I can do I in reality now." Knowing that she would realise what he was talking about.
"Yes my love told me. I always knew that you would become something more than a mere death eater." Sev smiled. "You will be good for my son." Sev looked at the small girl in the bed. It was hard to believe that she really was the mother of his lover. It was a very weird situation. But he was the Darkness after all; he could deal with anything.
