5. Voldemort, Knifes and Fear.

He would get Granger for this, this meant war! Draco thought angry as he made his way outside for his first meeting with the Dark Lord. That filthy little mudblood couldn't  embarrass him like that. What on earth happened to her? Last year she didn't even think about getting even with him, but now she obviously did.

Draco muttered things under his breath as he approached the forbidden forest. "I love it when you talk dirty." he heard and turned, only to see Blaise walking next to him. "What are you doing here Blaise?"  Draco asked without any emotion in his voice. "I'm due to become a deatheather tonight." She said with a grim look on her face. "I thought you where smarter than that." Draco said a bit shocked but Blaise didn't respond.

When they arrived at the edge of the forest there was a deatheater waiting for them. "Lets go." he grunted, sounding much like Crabbe. It must be his dad, Draco thought and followed the cloaked man.

When they reached an open space they both saw Voldemort, sitting on a throne that was made of human skulls. Mostly muggles but the top was of wizard ones. They bowed for the Dark Lord, who didn't speak a word. He just looked at them smiling like a child that's having a secret. "Well, well, welcome." he said eventually still smiling.

"I have a surprise for you, young Malfoy." he  continued and Draco looked at him wondering what it could be. "Sadly it isn't wrapped, but I think you'll have fun with it anyway." the Dark Lord said with a maniacal grin on his face.

He made gesture with his hand and another deatheater came from behind a bush dragging  something. The deatheater stood still. Just a few meters away from Draco and he seemed to look at the Dark Lord. "Give it to him." Voldemort ordered and the deatheather bowed.

A strange feeling suddenly took Draco over, that deatheater was his father dragging the head of his house!

Snape was stunned and when Lucius layed  him in front of Draco he could only stare at the potions master. He vaguely heard the Dark Lord say "This is going to be your first kill, a traitor." From the corner of his eyes  he could se that Blaise's  jaw hung open from amazement.

The Dark Lord kept grinning as Draco slowly came back to his senses. He heard his father say a spell and saw Snape moving. Lucius grabbed Snape's greasy hair and pushed him down on his knees. And yet again Draco could only stare. "Do I see hesitation?" Voldemort asked and waved his wand. Three knives appeared and floated towards the Potions Master. Two knives were placed at his temples en the 3rd was placed on his throat.

Everyone who looked at Severus Snape could see fear in his eyes, fear for his approaching death. The knives were pushed into his temples very slowly, so that the look of fear and pain were mixed.

Everyone knew that Voldemort had a fascination with muggle torture way's, but Draco never saw it before, it was shocking. That mudblood was about to kill a pureblood with a muggle item! Draco started to approach Snape, careful not to look him in the eye. Without any hesitation  Draco grabbed the knife that was slowly cutting the potions masters throat. With billowing robes Draco turned around and threw the knife at Voldemort, who was too surprised to react. The knife hit him square in the chest and Voldemort looked down in surprise. He couldn't be killed by magic, but this wasn't magic. Everyone looked in shock as Voldemort pulled the knife of his chest and stared at his own blood, which was slowly dripping down his robe. Suddenly his eyes turned to Draco and he tried to say something. But the words where far away and the only sound he could make sounded like "Whagrp." And after that he died, making no more sounds.

Everyone remained silent, still in shock, but the silence was broken after a short time when Lucius Malfoy bowed for his own son. "I will serve the new Dark Lord and promise to follow him into death." he mumbled and after that more of the cloaked men stared to bow, saying the exact same thing. Snape just stared at Draco, not saying a word, he just stared like he was frozen.

Suddenly Draco turned around and ran as fast as he could, he needed to get away from the darkness and that awkward situation.  When Draco reached the castle he slowed down and started to walk towards the dungeons. But he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw her and a grin appeared on his face. Just what he needed to lighten this night. Still grinning Draco followed the girl until she had to wait for the stairs. "Well, well, what are you doing up at this time of night?" he said and Hermione spun around. Shock was written on her face but when she saw Draco she adopted a grim look. "I could ask you the same thing Malfoy." she retorted and turned away from Draco.

But Draco grabbed her sleeve, pulled her back and smirked when he said "I'm Headboy Granger. You on the other hand aren't and have no reason to be here." Hermione didn't answer and Draco pulled her closer, just to annoy her. "Let go off me Malfoy." Hermione said curtly  and reached for her wand. But just before she could hex Draco, he grabbed her wrist and put so much pressure on it that she let go of her wand with a small yelp. "Bastard!" Hermione hissed and kicked Draco against the shins. She barely hit him, cause Draco jumped back and in the process  let go of Hermione.

As soon as Hermione was free she turned around and looked for her wand. She found it on the edge of the stairs and ran towards it. Draco caught up with Hermione halfway and made her trip/ Hermione hit the cold hard floor and watched her wand fall down into the darkness of the dungeons.

"Shit, let go of my legs you fucking bastard!" Hermione yelled and tried to get up. But Draco didn't let go and Hermione growled "Do you like touching a mudblood so much, that when you get hold of one you'd like to never let go again?" At that moment Draco froze and let go of Hermione, giving her a change to get up and run down to retrieve her wand.

Behind her she could hear Malfoy curse but soon after that she only heard the sound of footsteps. Her own and Malfoy's,… When Hermione reached the place where her wand must be, Draco caught up with her and grabbed her for the third time that night. "Not again! Let go Malfoy!" Hermione said breathing heavy, but as she expected he didn't let go.

But suddenly Draco turned his head and let go of Hermione. "If you don't want to get caught, I suggest that you run to the Gryffindor tower." he said and without asking for an explanation Hermione ran away. Draco looked at her disappearing figure, smirking when she turned a corner Draco reached down and picked up her wand. He pocketed it and slipped into a empty classroom, just in time not to be seen by Snape and Dumbledore, who where over talking the event that had happened in the forbidden forrest.

Draco waited until he was sure that they where gone, after that he ran to the safety of the Slytherin house.
