"Go? Go where?" Harry asked.
"Away. Anywhere! I don't know. Away from eveyrone so I wont hurt you all." Ashley said and started to play with her shoe strings.
"You didn't hurt anyone though. All you did was give me a scare."
"Yes, but what about next time! Next time I could really kill you! I dont want that to happen because I..." Ashley trailed off.
"Because you what?" Harry asked.
"Because I like you Harry. I like you a lot." Ashley said and looked down.
"Er, wow. I, er, I like you too. I just never had the guts to tell you. Especially when I learned your father was my worst enemy."
"Yeah, sorry 'bout that. Well," she sighed. "I better go pack. Eh, I don't need anything. I'll just go with what I have."
"Wait, you're forgetting something." Harry said and kissed her. Ashley stepped back and her eyes went wide.
"Wow, I have to go...now!" Ashley said and ran out of the common room.
Ashley got pretty far through the castle until she heard footsteps in the dark behind her. She whirled around and to face Draco Malfoy. He had his famous smirk on his face.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked.
"Away. Far away."
"Are you running away? Why?"
"Because I almost killed someone because of your father! He controlled me and almost made me kill Harry." She said and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Heh, well be careful. My father might just be waiting for you outside that door."
"I don't care." She said and continued walking.
Ashley twirled around and made her way out the doorway. She was about ten feet away from it when she ran into something. Looking up, she saw Draco was right. Lucius Malfoy WAS waiting for her.
"Good evening Miss Riddle. I have orders to bring you with me. Please don't struggle. It wont do you any good." He said and escorted her into a carriage pulled by two bat-winged black horses with red eyes. It seemed as if all the stars went out when the carriage door closed. Ashley sighed and lied back on a cushion.
-------------------
Somewhere along the way Ashley fell asleep in the carriage. She must of slept hard because when she awoke she was in a dark room lit by blue-flamed candles. She could barely see portraits hanging on the walls. She couldn't make out any faces in those frames. A noise caught her attention and she looked out in front of her. There was a man sitting on a stool and he was wearing a black cloak that covered everything. She could barely see his face.
"My daughter, oh how I have been waiting for this moment. You are so lovely and so...pure, but we will fix that. I was so fortunate that Lucius found you wandering around the castle at night. What were you doing out alone?" Voldemort asked in his high voice.
"I was running way so I wouldn't hurt anyone."
"Hurt anyone? But that's what you're good at! Remember that couple that took you in as a foster child in America?" he asked gently and cupped her hand in his. His hand was dry and was flaking. It made her sick to her stomach at the feeling.
"Yes,"
"Ever wonder what happened to them?"
"They died. They just died. I didn't do it!" Ashley screamed and his hand closed tighter on hers.
"No, they didn't just die. You killed them. My daughter, you killed them with your powers. And you were only 12! I am so proud of you."
"I-I killed them? I don't remember. My memories are so blurry."
"Yes, those Ministry officials erased your mind. They didn't want you to remember it. They didn't want you to remember me either. They wanted you to think you were just some normal witch. But you arent Ashley Marie Riddle. You are mine! And now...you shall be my top ranking Death Eater." He said and smiled. Ashley pulled her hand out of his and he frowned. His eyes flashed a fiery red.
"No, I dont want to be a Death Eater. I just want to go home."
"You are home. You are where you belong. With me!"
Ashley quickly pulled her wand out of her pocket and muttered the worst curse she knew at Voldemort. She didn't wait for him to react but ran. She heard a scream and a hissing sound but continued to run. She ran even when her legs were burning with pain and her lungs felt dry. She ran until she was far away from wherever she was. At first she heard persuers but she outran them and heard absolutely nothing. She got so tired that she conjured a broom with her wand and flew the rest of the way to Hogwarts. This time she was going to stay for good.
Author's Note: Sorry for the long wait for new chapters. You will have to wait for a while again until I gte some more ideas. Ciao!
