Chapter 11: The Madness of Draco Malfoy

Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not own Harry Potter; it all belongs to the genius, JK Rowling. I only own the plot.

A/N: Sorry about the confusion before.. I had a few problems posting this chapter! Thanks again to all my reviewers especially Sharnea.D for letting me know that chapter 11 didn't exist for some reason. That was weird... anyhoo.. here's chapter 11! Hope it worked!

Draco's POV

In the heart of the Forbidden Forest was a blond 16 year old Slytherin wizard who was pacing and mumbling to himself. Draco Malfoy was impatiently waiting for phase two of his plan to be complete. He was waiting for a certain bushy haired young witch to fall right into his trap. Hermione would arrive at the clearing looking for her friends any moment now.

Normally he would never be out alone in the Forbidden Forest. Ever since his detention back in first year in the forest, he had been scared out of his wits of it! Plus even though he always seemed smug and self assured, he really was a gigantic coward. Every sound that he heard made him jump. Although he was so terrified of the forest, he knew that this was the ideal place to carry out his plan and nothing else mattered now but his plan.

Suddenly he heard another loud noise and was taken by surprise yet again. This time he was so full of fear that he doubled over while screaming! He then realized it was only an owl hooting and got back up to his feet grumbling angrily though he was relieved that no one was there to witness that and so his dignity was still in tact.

He grew more and more impatient by the minute and looked at his watch for the thousandth time.

"What is taking Granger so long? Ohhh I can't wait to finally have my revenge on the Mudblood! It's only a pity that Potter and Weasley won't be here to see the show! No matter, I'll give them a nice souvenir from it---- what's left of her after I'm finished!" muttered Draco to himself evilly.

"Yes that should be a nice little surprise for Potty and the Weasel! Especially for Weasley! Oh how much it will hurt him to see the girl he loved in such a state! He'll probably be in such shock that he'll go out of his mind with grief. I almost feel sorry for him---almost." Draco said with an evil smirk.

"They'll be sorry they ever crossed with the Malfoys! All three of them! I'm going to make them feel pain like they've never felt before! Like the pain they caused my family when my father was thrown in jail! Mother has never been the same since! I haven't seen my own father in months! He's suffering in that hell hole all because of them! They will pay! ALL of them will pay!" he shouted with fury.

Malfoy was angry; angrier than he had ever been in his life! After his father was arrested, things drastically changed in his life. His house was raided by the Ministry of Magic. All his father's dark belongings were destroyed. His mother had gone into depression. The family name and reputation was shattered as it was in the Daily Prophet about his father's prosecution. And they had barely any money left which was something that Draco never thought would have happened. Draco never even heard of a budget before then and now he had to live with one. He blamed all of this on Harry, Ron and Hermione and had been plotting his revenge on them all summer long.

What made Draco even angrier was that when he did threaten Hermione before, she seemed totally unaffected by it. She didn't look remotely terrified. She just rolled her eyes at him and retorted back with witty remarks as usual. This made his blood boil even more! Oh how he loathed her! He wanted to strike fear into her heart like a really terrifying Death Eater would; like his father would.

Draco now stopped pacing and yelled out madly, "Pathetic little ferret, am I? Well we'll see who the pathetic ferret is tonight!" He started blasting bushes and rocks out of the way fiercely and swelled up with pride.

"The look on her face will be enjoyable for me to see in deed! The Mudblood won't know what hit her! She was so smug when I threatened her; so sure of herself and that I could do absolutely nothing to harm her! Let's see just how smug she is after I'm through with her!" he cackled insanely.

"My plan is going to work out perfectly! Father was right; good people are so easy to manipulate! The Mudblood will be too hell bent on saving her friends that she won't have the time to think logically and get a teacher. She loves Weasley sooooo much so she'll have to come to his and Potter's rescue! Uhhhg! How could she love a poor good-for-nothing ugly prat like him? It's enough to make me gag! But finding out that she actually loved Weasley and had a fight with him over Seamus was an added bonus to my plan!"

"Since Granger was apart from Scar head and Weaselbee because of the fight, Crabbe and Goyle easily could have gotten them out of the way, even if they are thick. I knew that Potter and Weasley would follow her in Potter's invisibility cloak! Weasley has always been too jealous and protective over the Mudblood for his own good! Little do they know that they've played themselves right into my hands!"

Draco sat on a tree stump and thought of his father again.

"Oh father, if you could only see me now; you'd be so proud!" said Draco, his eyes bulging making him look even crazier than before.

"After I've had my fun tonight, I will come to Azkaban and free you! I don't care about how much trouble I might be in for after tonight! Nothing else matters anymore! You're master will help me! I'm sure of it! Once I come in contact with the Dark Lord and get my mark, together we will kill as many Muggles and Mudbloods as possible and take down the entire Wizarding World!" he shouted dramatically, standing up and sending green sparks up in the air powerfully.

Draco looked at his watch and noticed that it was almost time. He got in his position behind a bush and muttered under his breath,

"I will avenge you, father! The pathetic 'Golden Trio' will be shattered tonight if my name isn't Draco Malfoy!!"

A/N: Well I hope Draco's monologue helped to explain a few things. I know I know; Draco's an evil little #$%#! LOL! I just thought that before I went on with the action in my story that a little clarification was needed to bring you all up to speed on what was planned and why it was planned in case there was any confusion. Anyhoo, please r&r and tell me what you all think! The next chapter will probably be the most action packed yet so stay with me! Thanks everyone!
