Chapter 2:

Casey allowed a soft scowl to mask her face. She focused confidently on a spot just above the heads of the death eaters ahead of her, as Peter had advised her to do.

Her father was still talking, she decided it would be best if she paid attention.

"...I wish for you all to be introduced," he motioned to Peter, who stepped forward with a roll of parchment and began reading out names. As Peter did so the person stepped forward, removed their mask, but never their hood, and bowed to her.

She would nod in acknoledgement and they would step back into line.

And it went on, for what seemed like forever, she couldn't believe how many their were. She knew her father had freed them all from Azkaban but there were so many.

Just as Peter was about to read the next name, there was a pop at Casey's side. Casey turned to see who had just apparated next to her.

She saw a woman of sunken beauty, with sleek long black hair and heavy- lidded eyes. The woman turned to Casey's father.

"Master," she said kneeling. "My lord I am sorry I am late, I have completed your task. I know where he is."

Tom smiled, a cruel half smile, but a smile none the less. "Very good Bella, please take your place," he indicated a gap in the circle.

Bellatrix Black, now undivorced, took her place next to the person who was about to have his name called.

Peter continued. "Lucius Malfoy!"

Lucius stepped forward and bowed deeply. "My lady," he said softly as Casey nodded.

He stepped back, his eyes never leaving Casey's face. That made her quite uncomfortable as the blonde haired man's smile never faultered.

Peter yelled another name. Casey didn't catch it, her eyes were on the young man who had just stepped forward. Her breath caught in her throat.

The young man bowed, though his eyes never left Casey's face. He looked just like Lucius, only with shorter hair. His eyes a deep ice-blue, almost silver, and his face a perfect tan.

Casey snapped her head back to Peter. "The name?" she asked, indicating that she hadn't heard. Which earned her a heated glare from her father, as he thought she wasn't paying attention.

"Draco Malfoy," Peter's voice said quietly, the name echoed in her head as if Peter had yelled at the top of his lungs causing the name to bounce on the hills only two k's away from the house.

Casey turned back to Draco and inclined her head.

Draco's mouth caught in a smile, which showed Casey his pearly white teeth.

She tried to stop her knees turning weak. What was wrong with her, she was to be the dark lady and she was crushing on a follower? Her father would be furious if he knew this was crossing her mind.

He was to choose who she like and who she disliked, not her and she knew that, quite well.

The meeting carried on for a while, finally coming to a close. Her father was saying his final words before the followers were to leave.

Tom indicated to Peter again once his words were done and Peter nodded. Tom disapparated which was an indication that the followers could leave. Peter motioned to a few and they stayed behind.

Peter and the remaining followers talked in a huddle, Casey noticed one had not joined them and was walking her way.

She gulped when she saw the flash of his ice-blue eyes. It was Draco.

His father was in the huddle, so Casey assumed that he was waiting for Peter to let his father leave.

Draco stopped next to Casey. He bowed to her, taking her hand and kissing it. Casey's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Lady Casey," Draco said softly after he rose.

"Please, just call me Casey. My father's not here," Casey said casually, trying to keep her voice steady.

Draco smiled, baring his pearly teeth again. "Sorry."

Casey smiled too. "It ok."

"So... I haven't seen you around. Don't you go to Hogwarts?"

Casey shook her head. "No, I- I was in an orphanage until just a while ago. My father couldn't find me and my mother's dead."

Draco's eyes widened. "An orphanage? Do you know any magic?"

Casey laughed. "Do you really think the ministry would allow a magical baby to go to a muggle orphanage? I know just as much as you do."

Draco blushed, noticing his stupidity.

"So..." He continued nervously. Casey could feel the strain in his voice. She never thought it would be that hard for a boy to talk to her, but then again her father was Lord Voldemort. "Do you... um... have a boyfriend?" Draco blushed deeper and looked at the ground.

Casey giggled. "No, I haven't found a guy brave enough to date me."

Draco laughed slightly. "You'll find a guy who'd be willing to be brave enough. I mean look at you, you're beautiful..." Draco didn't seem able to keep the pink off his cheeks as his eyes ran over Casey's body.

She pinkened slightly under his glance. "Are you saying you're brave enough?" Casey enquired.

Draco smiled, re-gaining his cool. "I don't know, maybe."

Casey's smile grew. "Are you brave enough for this?" She asked, not being able to help herself. She leant forward and brushed her lips against Draco's.

They immediately stepped apart, feeling the stares of the people behind Draco. Casey looked down as every death eater eye was on her.

"I have to go" Casey muttered and disapparated.

****

Back at the House of Riddle.

****

Casey had disapparated into the Entrance Hall. She sighed and leant against the door which was right behind her.

She had just kissed a boy, that she had just met? She couldn't believe it.

She knew he was cute, no beyond cute. She'd never felt this attracted to a guy before. She already missed him.

She began walking up the stair, in the direction of her room when the Entrance Hall was filled with people. They set off in the direction of her father's study. Draco was among them. Casey blushed under his stare.

Her eyes didn't leave him until there was a faked cough behind her.

She turned to find Peter and Bellatrix behind her.

Peter, being her father's man-servant, had known her they entire time she had lived in this house and Bellatrix, casey had come to find was... Well lets just say that Casey knew the reason for Bellatrix's divroce and her father was sort of involved.

Bellatrix leant again the wall, crossing her arms across her chest.

"So you like Malfoy's boy, my nephew," she said in a cheerful voice. "Wait until your father finds out."

Peter elbowed Bellatrix. "He won't, we aren't going to tell him," Peter said hotly.

Casey had noticed that Peter had taken a liking to her, probably because she was alot nicer than her father.

Bellatrix scowled. "And why not?"

"Because I said," Peter hissed. He turned back to Casey. "Now may I ask why you chose to kiss Malfoy's boy?"

"His name is Draco," Casey said walking along the corridor to her room, adults in tow. "And it just happened, it was a momentary thing."

Bellatrix laughed. "Honey, nothing just happens, there is a reason for everything. Now Peter are you gunna tell her?"

"Tell me what?" Casey suddenly stopped and turned to both adults. Repeating the question.

"I take it you noticed the death eaters arrive, considering you couldn't take your eyes of 'Draco'," Peter said the last word bitterly. "They'll all be staying in this house while your father and his inner circle discuss their next move," his eyes flicked to Bellatrix for a moment, then back to Casey.

Casey looked up at Bellatrix. "You found Potter, didn't you?" Casey's evil voice filled with glee. She punched the air excitedly. "Yes!"

Peter and Bellatrix laughed together.

"Relax Princess," Bellatrix said, using the nickname she had given Casey. Casey hated it, she knew the only reason Bellatrix had given her it was because Casey got alot of attention from her father now, and that made Bellatrix jealous. "Nothing's going to happen for a while."

Casey, eyes still full with glee, poked out her tongue. Peter scowled once more at Bellatrix, before both he and Bellatrix gripped their upper arm in pain.

Casey knew it meant her father wanted them.

"Go," She said motioning with her hand.

They both bolted in the opposite direction, leaving Casey to wonder happily into her room.

****

The next day

****

Casey sat on a bench at the back of the largest family garden, out the back of the house.

This particular bench was located under a large tree, yet somehow the light managed to reach her on it.

She was reading quietly, stretched over the bench on her stomach.

There was a fake cough behind her, causing Casey to look up at the owner of the sudden noise.

It was Draco. She had a sudden feeling that he'd been watching her for a while.

She quickly sat up, straightening her skirt, it was too short to reach her knees, and she was suddenly reminded that she would have just been baring alot of under leg, not that that was a problem.

Draco took a seat next to her, smiling.

Casey's knees felt weak and she was thankful of tha fact that she was sitting down.

Draco arm curved it's way around Casey's shoulders. Casey stared up into Draco's eyes. Soon becoming lost.

"Now where were we?" Draco asked before leaning forward and meeting Casey's lips in a soft kiss. That soft kiss soon turned into short heated kisses.

Draco's hands soon went exploring, he pulled Casey's legs over his lap and began searching under her plain white blouse.

Casey moaned as Draco's lips began trails up and down her neck, his hands slowly stroking her spine.

Casey's fingers fiddled with the ends of Draco's sleek blonde hair, whist the battle of tongues continued.

Suddenly a noise boomed out over the grounds of the house, echoing somehow.

"CASEY!!"

Casey and Draco jumped a metre into the air, both breathing hard.

Casey turned to Draco, her face horrorstricken, "Uh-oh," She whispered. "That's not a good thing."
