Calling Out to You
Chapter 8
Blaise saw the letter sitting on Draco's desk and frowned as he picked it up. The wax seal of the Malfoy Clan had been broken, obviously by Draco. Blaise knew there was tension between his cousin and uncle and had always carefully avoided disturbing it. He knew his inheritance, status, and power could still be taken away if Lucius Malfoy desired it to happen. As much as Blaise had tried to avoid interfering between them, it now seemed futile. Blaise had tried to have a foot in each camp, being Draco's best friend and cousin, and playing the part of his mother's poor son. The choice between alliances was not hard. Draco was dependent upon his father and relied too often upon his name to save him. Furthermore, Draco was untried in the ways of the World. Lucius, on the other hand, held prestige and power in both Ministry and Death Eater circles. Draco had obviously returned from the Hospital Wing, but the mere fact he had needed saving from his father showed his reliability. The question of the moment was, where is Draco now? Hoping the letter would explain more he grabbed it and read, his eyes widening in shock as he read what was written in Lucius' spidery scrawl.
Draco Titian Malfoy- Never once have I doubted your abilities until this day. I truly thought you were ready to accept your destiny and fight for what is yours by blood and birthright. You have a responsibility given to you by fate and you must fulfill the prophecy. If I had known you would be incapable of completing one simple task, I might never had told the Dark Lord about your birth. His Lordship does not approve of your reluctance to lead those who are dedicated to our cause, becoming his heir is an honor one should dream of. I always knew that my son would be destined for all types of greatness, even without any sort of divine warning. These are heavy words I send to you, but you must understand. The Dark Lord has only two kinds of followers, those that are loyal and those that are dead. The Dark Mark may not have touched your arm, but I expect more of you in the future. Please, do not disappoint me or him, you might not live to regret it. Tell Blaise he should begin to consider his own future as well, that he would be granted his heart's desires if he were to join. Lucius Cassius Malfoy
P.S.- Try not to let Potter or his friends best you for week, please?
Blaise could not believe that the Dark Lord has chosen Draco Malfoy to be his heir. Blaise felt angry he had not told him about his destiny or the fact it had been prophesized. He also felt slightly jealous his cousin had been chosen over himself. Draco had always beaten Blaise at everything; quidditch, looks, and classes. No one ever thought of Blaise as a popular boy, he was known as Malfoy's quiet cousin whose mum had died and whom Draco befriended. Blaise had always seemed second-best to his cousin and secretly resented it. It was hard enough to deal with the fact that even though he was a Malfoy, he would forever bear the Zabini name. All though they were purebloods, the Zabini Clan could be described as an inferior clan. Nothing was new though, the Malfoys were superior to every old family, except the Blacks and possibly the Rookwoods. The only thing Blaise had Draco did not was Ginny, he smiled slightly at the thought of her calling him her newest friend.
Blaise knew he could beat Draco, he could beat everyone I f ever given a fair chance. However, he had never had that chance, until Ginny. He had grown up playing by his uncle's rules, knowing Draco, as his own son, must come first to Lucius. He had been brushed aside again when they had come to Hogwarts. Draco had taken immediate control of the first-years, but what so many people cared to realize was that Blaise was the brains behind the operation. It also did not help Blaise was a quiet boy, but still he burned with ambition and a thirst to prove himself.
Blaise had previously thought Draco did not want to risk his life and status by becoming one of the Dark Lord's Death Eaters, but now it was clear. Draco feared the risk of being the leader and the responsibility required to fill that large role.
Blaise had tried so long to not blame muggles for his mother and sister's death, but now a new motivation for blaming them appeared. As the cousin and best friend of the Dark Lord's heir he would just as powerful as Draco. Blaise tried to push these thoughts away from the surface of his head. A voice inside his head he could not control told him he could all those things he wanted if Draco became Voldemort's heir, even if he would still be second rate to Draco Malfoy once again. But did he truly want to live in Draco's shadow? And the most important thing in his life right now is Ginny, who would never get mixed up with the Dark side. Then, Blaise reminded himself that as a Death Eater Lucius promised he could have whatever he wants.
************************************
In the Gryffindor Tower, a fight like none other was taking place between the two most temperamental redheads in the history of Hogwarts. Many students had found it rather amusing to see the brother and sister at each other's throats. Harry, did not think it was so funny, moreover he was confused. He had been so sure Ginny fancied him and was slightly perturbed by the way that Zabini boy had stolen her from under his nose. He chastised himself for not having told her his feelings sooner, he thought as they argued.
"Ron, stop acting as though all Slytherins were born to be evil, plus you would hate any boy that ever dreamed of liking me," Ginny accused saucily.
"They are evil, Gin. You-Know-Who was a Slytherin, it makes you want to become a Death Eater," he yelled back at her.
"Harry's a parse mouth, but it did not make him a Dark wizard, did it?" she demanded angrily. She did not look at Harry or Hermione for support.
"That's entirely different, Ginny," Ron said as though he was bursting with anger and indignation on Harry's behalf.
"You of all people should not tell other people whom they can date. At least I told the person who I fancy how I feel, which is more than you can say," Ginny reminded him in a mocking tone.
"This has nothing to do with me-" Ron began.
"Exactly, so stay out of my personal life. You know nothing about him, how can you, no how dare you judge him? If I say that he is trustworthy maybe you should believe me," Ginny said and everyone agreed the fight was over.
Ginny had obviously won.
A/N: Okay, another chapter will be written some time within the next month, but I am a busy girl. As always please review. Blaise is tempted to the Dark side and Draco is destined to be Voldemort's heir, right? What prophecy is this? More will come. Tell me your thoughts on the story ending Draco/Ginny. Story not following summary anymore, it evolved this way. Love, KTBallerina.
