I wanted to thank Juli Black Potter for the review and I hope to see more. Thanks!
'…….Elvira looked at him, then doing something she didn't expect, she kissed him, to which he responded deepening the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and laced her fingers together locking her hands there. They pulled away for air, "That was nice." she said kissing him again.
"Well, what do we have hear?" someone said from the bathroom door….'
The two broke away and looked to see who it was. Standing there was Galvin, Adrian, Marcus, Blaise, and Angel. Elvira looked away a blush forming on her face, and Draco looked down at his hands, "Bloody hell. I can't get a moments peace from you guys, can I?" he said.
"Nope." Adrian said smirking at them.
"So is it official? Are you two going out now?" Angel said, excitement showing in her voice.
Draco looked at Elvira who was furiously blushing a bright crimson. She looked up at him the answer written in her eyes. "Yes. Yes we are." Draco said rather quietly. Angel squealed and starting jumping up and down.
"It's about bloody time too." Blaise said laughing.
"I think we should leave these two alone for awhile. Maybe they'll make us god parents." Galvin said earning him the pleasure of Elvira hiding her face and the Draco turning red. The four left to go to the dormitories snickering as they went and left the two in the bathrooms.
"Well we best be going off to bed as well." Draco said to Elvira. He took her hand and led her out into the common room. They headed up the steps parted and went to their rooms. Elvira went into hers getting bombarded with questions from Angel and Blaise. Elvira quieted them down answering their questions as best she could. When the two girls were satisfied with their answers they shut up and went to bed. Elvira thinking about nothing but Draco and that kiss.
The rest of the week passed rather uneventfully. The entire school had found out about Elvira and Pansy fighting in the common room and now when Elvira even came close to Pansy, Pansy would run the other way. Everyone found out sooner or latter that Draco and Elvira were now an item, and almost every girl at Hogwarts envied Elvira for it. Though Draco and Elvira couldn't get away from the nonstop teasing from their friends.
Soon Saturday came and the Slytherin tryouts were taking place. Draco, Elvira, the rest of the team, and the few Slytherins that wanted to try out now stood on the pitch. Draco called them up one by one, getting on their brooms and playing for about ten minutes each. After about the 15 kid Draco now lay in the middle of the pitch, in his emerald green Quidditch robes, flat on his back, hands over his face, moving his head back and forth, muttering, "Jesus, God Help me."
Everyone stared at him quit amused, especially the team who were somewhat laughing, until he finally got up. "Ok, who the bloody hell is next." He looked at the list of potentials and smiled at seeing who was next. "Thank the lord, an experienced player. Elvira get your cute little ass up there and show these no goods how to play chaser." he said looking at Elvira.
"With pleasure." she said walking past him, teasing him with a coy smile, he returned the smile and smacked her on the butt. She looked at him again, shook her head mounted her new broom and took flight.
"Ok you've already seen the routine 15 times today so get on with it." Draco said flying up to her and hovering next to her. She nodded and started off.
It was a few simple passes with Marcus and Adrian, to see if the three could work well together. She then had to play against them and get the quaffle and get it passed Alex who was hovering in front of the three hoops. Finally she had to play against Marcus and Adrian, dodge two bludgers coming at her from Galvin and Goyle, and try and score. She did each one the best she could and landed when she had finished. Most of the onlookers couldn't believe their eyes, but Parkinson though, just glared.
After a few more tryouts, Draco turned to them. "I'll post the new chaser tonight in the common room." They all left and Elvira walked up to Draco who put an arm around her and Blaise, who had also tried out, walked over to her boyfriend Galvin, who had gotten together recently, thanks to Elvira's help, and they all started walking the path back to the castle.
"That's was fun and entertaining." Elvira said to them. It was rather entertaining to them all. Some of the students could barely balance on a broom and throw. Unfortunately none of them had fallen which would have been hilarious for the team to see. Elvira smiled at the thought of seeing Pansy falling off of her broom.
When they reached the common room Elvira went up to her room and started chatting with Angel and Blaise about the tryouts, and the team went up to Draco's room to discuss who the new chaser and reserve chaser would be. When Draco went to put his broom under his bed he noticed a letter sitting on his pillow with his mother's handwriting on. He picked it up and slid it into his pocket and sat down.
He turned to the others, "So what do you all think? Who should the chaser be?"
"Elvira" they all said in union.
"Figured you'd all say that. She was the only one that did do every routine phenomenally." Draco said.
"For real, she literally murdered the competition." Marcus said. "I haven't seen a chaser that good since, Adrian Pucey, no offense to O'Neil over here."
"None taken." he said. "Who's gonna be her reserve?"
"Blaise" they all said
"Well looks like we have our new chasers. I'll post it up in a little while. The team sat there talking the day away. Draco had pulled out the letter from his mom and opened it.
Dear Draco,
Draco, I have to write this rather quickly before your father gets home. The Deatheaters are reforming again. Voldemort is regaining power and your father is being sucked back into it again. You must keep an eye on Elvira and protect her at all cost. She doesn't know it and not many do, but she has a hidden power that will be extremely powerful and dangerously deadly when it's released, but we have no idea on weather it will be for the good or bad, I'm hoping the good. Your father is telling Voldemort about Elvira and they will probably try and take her and use her power. You must take care of her Draco. Your father is turning into the way he once was, he's abusing me again when ever he is here. I'm risking my life telling you this but you must know it. But you must act as if you don't know anything about it, don't tell Elvira especially, the poor dear might go into shock. Remember Draco I love you no matter what and I can't wait to see you next month at your Quidditch match. Take care.
Love, with all my heart,
Your mother
Draco reread the later again and again worry starting to show on his face. "What's wrong Draco?" Galvin asked. "Who's the letter from?"
"It's nothing, just that my mom is coming to our match against Gryffindor next month." Draco said masking the worry on his face. Draco took the letter and put it in the drawer of his bedside table. He got up and grabbed a change of cloths from his small closet and headed to the bathrooms to change. He came back upstairs and hanged up his Quidditch robes and pulled out some parchment and ink, and started to write.
The Slytherin Quidditch team would like to announce the new players.
The new full-time chaser will be
Elvira Rosier
And
The reserve chaser for her shall be
Blaise Zambini
Thank you to all that tried out
Draco headed downstairs and pinned it up above the fireplace, where most likely everyone will look. Draco headed back upstairs yet again and laid down on his bed, listening and talking to the rest who had also changed out of their Quidditch robes.
About an hour or two later the boys heard two sets of running footsteps coming to their door. The door was thrown open, by two extremely happy looking girls. Elvira ran to Draco and jumped on him and kissed him. "I love you so much Draco! You made me Chaser!" she said squeezing him to death.
"I wasn't the only one. The team wanted you to be chaser." Draco said prying himself out of Elvira's grasp.
"And you guys made me her reserve! I can't believe it!" Blaise said from sitting on Galvin's lap hugging him as well.
"You guys must love us so much." Elvira said, who was now lying back on Draco, with her arms around him, who was leaning against the back of his bed. They all shook their heads. "So when's the first match, and against whom?" Elvira asked Draco.
"It's on Saturday, October 13th, next month. And we are playing against Gryffindor. So we are going to have to get some practices in quick." Draco told them playing with Elvira's hair. The team sat there talking to each other about the upcoming practices and game and organizing them. When it started to get late, they all retired to their rooms, though not before Elvira and Blaise got their good night kisses, and went to sleep.
So the weeks went by, Elvira making more friends and getting to know her older ones better. Her and Draco's relationship continued to grow more and more. Draco continued to get more and more letters from his mother about what was happening with his father and the Deatheaters starting to come back together, which Draco grew more concerned for Elvira for and kept his eye on her the best he could. Though there were the bad there was also the good. The team had practiced whenever they could, against their reserve team. Angel, and some of her friends would sit in the stands watching them practice, or just watch them mess around up on their brooms. Elvira had even let Angel try her broom for a little while and let her play a quick round with the team, and she did very well.
It started to grow closer and closer to the first match and the anxiousness of the teams, and the students grew high and higher as it came closer. Finally, the night before the match Draco had the team in the common room, in their pajamas, which was really quit amusing, with other students sitting around listening to Draco prep his team.
"Ok men." Elvira coughed. "and women." Draco said looking at Elvira smiling. "This match is gonna be tough. I know we've played against Gryffindor before, but they've got a new team and I've seen some of their practices. They're good, but I think we are still better then them and we can beat them. We just have to use what we've done in our practices and keep our cool. We can beat them and I know we will. I trust you guys. I want you all to get a good night sleep and eat a big breakfast tomorrow. We have to be ready for them, and we will. And remember." Draco's voice grew a little bit colder, "We show them no mercy, cause I'm sure they wont after the way we've treated them these past years."
Draco ended his little speech and sat down on the couch next to Elvira, and he put his arm around her and drew her as close as possible. So now both team and reserves discussed tactics on how they should play. One by one the common room started to empty of the students heading to bed, anxious for the game. Around 10:00 everyone was up in their dormitories except for Draco and Elvira on one couch, and Galvin and Blaise on another couch.
"So Draco what's the weather supposed to be like tomorrow?" Galvin asked him while stroking Blaise's hair.
"Overcast, which is good, no sun in our eyes, maybe a chance of rain." Draco said.
A few minutes later Blaise and Galvin got up, "We're heading to bed, which you guys should do too." Galvin said to them.
Draco just nodded. "Night." Elvira told them, "I'll be up in a bit Blaise." Blaise and Galvin headed upstairs and Elvira could swear she heard Blaise's giggles. Elvira turned over so she laying on top of Draco and looked up into his eyes, and saw worry lined in them.
"Draco, what's wrong? You've been acting very protective of me all of a sudden and it's scaring me. Is there something wrong at home I should know about?" she asked him wanting to know why he was always keeping an eye on her.
Draco smiled at her, and reached up to touch her cheek, "There's nothing wrong, trust me. If there was I'd tell you, I just love you and I want you safe," he said reassuringly to her.
"And I love you two." she said, still not completely convinced that he was telling her the truth. She leaned down and kissed him passionately which her returned in just as much passion.
"Now I suggest that we go to bed so that we wont be tired for our game tomorrow." he said breaking away from her. She nodded and got up off of him. He took her hand and led her up the stairs and kissed her good night.
Elvira walked into her room and flopped down on her bed. She got under the covers and rested her head on the pillow and sighed.
"What's wrong Eli?" the voice of Blaise asked.
"It's nothing, just that Draco has been acting a little odd lately."
"I know what you mean. I've noticed it too. He's really paranoid when you're alone." Blaise told her.
"Thank you. I am not the only one who sees it then. I don't know what's the matter with him, just that he's been protective of me, doesn't want me alone, and he almost seems afraid, but that's way unlike him." Elvira said to her.
"Well, it wont do good do think about it a lot when we have a match tomorrow. I suggest that you get some sleep tonight and think about it later. But that's just me, so yea." Blaise said then grew quiet as she started to fall asleep.
'I don't think I can not think about it.' she thought to her self as she too drifted off to sleep.
She was walking with someone, holding their hand. She saw that it was Draco's and they were walking through the halls to the Great Hall. They were each in costumes, he had on black vampiric outfit on and she had on a black vampiric dress on. They had reached the door and Draco opened it.
Inside there were no students running around having a good time. There were hundreds of people standing around looking towards the door, people in long black robes. Robes she hadn't seen since she had seen her Mother and Father.
Then it hit her, "Deatheaters" she said out loud.
She didn't feel Draco's hand anymore in hers. She felt a hand fall on each of her shoulders and she turned to see who it was. A Deatheater stood behind her.
"Welcome Elvira." it said to her. That voice, she knew that voice. It was Lucius'
"Let go of me now," she said struggling to get free from him.
"I think not, you see our master wants you for a certain purpose." he told her forcing her forward.
In front of her stood a man, a man if that's what you could call it, he was dressed in the same black robes, but with his hood pulled back. He was pale and had no hair. His eyes were yellow and had black slits like a cat. His nose was flat against his face and he had a cruel smile sitting on his face. He reached out one of his pale hands to her and ran it over her hair. Elvira tried to pull away yet again from Lucius, but to no avail.
"Voldemort." she whispered to herself. The walls of the Great Hall suddenly started to shake and crumble down and they were outside, in a forest of some sort.
"My dear Elvira." He said hissing to her like a snake. "Do you not know why you are here?" he received no response from her, only a glare. "Well, allow me to explain it to you then. Your mother and father were two of my best followers, and it hurt me so when they had died. When the Ministry put you in those foster homes I sent Lucius, here to try and take you in which he succeeded in doing. When you were born, you were born with a hidden power lying deep within your heart that would be awakened when you chose it to, when consequences are dire and there seems to be no hope. Though no one knows weather it will be for the good, or the bad. You would have used it that day your parents died, but you were to young and didn't really understand what was going on. You've been brought here to join us, and together I will bring that power forth and you will use it to destroy the good people of this earth."
"I'll never join you, you should have known that from the start." she spat at him.
"Oh I did expect that and I was prepared." he turned to one of the Deatheaters standing around. "Bring them to me."
Four Deatheaters came forward to Voldemort pulling two people with them. Elvira saw pale blonde, and knew who it was immediately. "Draco" she whispered.
"Let the hell go of me!" Draco said shouting at the men who had a grip on him.
She looked at the other two and saw Narcissa being pulled along with them, though not struggling or anything.
"Let them go! They have nothing to do with this!" Elvira shouted at Voldemort, and tears starting to roll down her face.
"Seems like I've hit a soft spot in you, I don't think I will." Voldemort said smiling cruelly. The four dragged Draco and Narcissa up to him and Voldemort took Narcissa by the collar of her robes, she didn't fight or anything, just looked at Elvira and told her through her eyes to not to give in to him, that she had to fight. "You see Elvira, Lucius has no heart, and he wouldn't mind if I killed his wife and son." Voldemort pointed his wand at Narcissa. "Join us or she dies. And I know how much you look up to her as your mother figure."
Elvira looked at Narcissa and she still had that look in her eyes. Elvira was about to say something, but was cut off by Voldemort. "Too late. Avada Kedavra!" there was a blinding flash of green light and Narcissa dropped to the ground dead.
"MOM!" Draco shouted not believing his eyes. His own father had let Voldemort kill her. "You bastard!" He shouted at Lucius.
Two Deatheaters picked up Narcissa's limp body and carried her off. Elvira was silent tears flowing down her face. The images of her mother and father filling her head as Aurors killed them, but she didn't see the Aurors anymore, only Voldemort killing them. "I wont let you live for doing that Voldemort," she hissed at him finding her voice again.
"We shall see," he said. He snapped his fingers and Draco was drug forward. . Voldemort took Draco by the throat and lifted him off the ground. Draco grabbed at Voldemort's hands trying to pry them off. He pointed his wand at him now. "Join us, or he will die as well."
"No! Please let him go! He has nothing to do with this! You've already killed Narcissa, you can't kill him!" she said trying to rush forward, but Lucius restraining her.
"Then say it! Say you'll join us and I will spare his life for you." Voldemort yelled at her.
Elvira looked at Draco, with a defeated look in her eyes. She couldn't stand losing him as well. She had lost her real parents, now Narcissa, she couldn't lose him too. "Don't you dare say it Eli. Don't give into him!" Draco said from his strangle hold.
"But he'll kill you Draco!" she shouted back to him.
"I'd rather die knowing that I stopped you from making a-"
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort hissed. There was yet another blinding flash of green light, and Voldemort's cruel laughter filled her ears. Elvira screamed as she felt like she was being pulled up by something. Everything around her seemed to disappear.
Elvira shot up in her bed, breathing heavy, and looking pale. Blaise and Angel standing there beside her looking concerned. "Calm down Elvira its just us. You all right? You look a little pale, well paler then usually." Blaise asked her.
Elvira looked at them for a moment and noticed it was light outside. She looked back at the two girls, "Yea, I'm ok."
Blaise didn't look to convinced, "Well if you're sure. It's time to get up. We have to get showers, you need get into Quidditch robes, eat breakfast and play a game against Gryffindor." Blaise said to her giving her an encouraging smile.
Elvira returned the smile, even though the dream still haunted her mind. She kept thinking to herself that she had to forget about it until later after the match. She got up out of bed and went to her closet she pulled out her emerald green Quidditch robes and along with Blaise and Angel, though they just had normal cloths, headed to the bathrooms.
They all took quick showers and changed into their outfits. Elvira was the last to come out of her stall in her robes. Angel and Blaise were standing in front of the mirrors applying make up and fixing their hair with some of the other girls. Angel turned and looked at her and smiled, "I said it once and I'll say it again, those robes really suit you, and they bring out your eyes."
"Thanks." Elvira said.
"And just think Eli, you are the only girl in a century to be made part of the main team." Blaise said to her.
"Yes, I know you have been telling me that since I made the team." Elvira smiled. She put her hair up into a ponytail and got Angel to put it into a tight braid for her so that it wouldn't be in the way while she was playing.
The three girls took their pajamas up to their dormitory and headed downstairs and out of the common room to the Great Hall. When they entered, it was unusually crowded for being this early in the morning, their were seven kids sitting at Gryffindor table in scarlet robes with their classmates talking to them, and six kids at the Slytherin table in emerald robes, talking to each other very seriously. The three girls headed over to the team Elvira receiving smiles and words of encouragement as she went. She sat down next to Draco, giving him a kiss on the cheek and looked at her plate, the thoughts of her dream coming back to her, and she grew slightly more paler.
Draco noticed she hadn't started eating, "Eli, you ok?" he asked her. "Your kind of pale. Why don't you try to eat something? You're gonna need your strength."
Elvira looked up and smiled at him. He was once again being protective of her. "I'm fine Draco, just a little anxious."
"Well try and eat a little for me, ok?" he said looking at her with a little of the concern wearing away.
"I'll try," she said. Though she managed only to eat two slices of toast and drink some juice. Draco took her hand from under the table and gave it a squeeze, which helped her feel a little bit less anxious about the game, knowing that he'll be there to watch out for her the best he could.
Madam Hooch stood up at the front table and McGonagall called for attention for her. "Would the Gryffindor and Slytherin Captains please lead their teams out to the pitch. You will have a half hour to give your pep talks and any last tactic discussing. The rest of the school will be out in that time," she said.
All the students watched as the two rival houses, and students, stood and led their teams to the entrance of the Great Hall. There was a pause from both teams as Draco and Harry glared at each other at the door and then continued through.
Outside in the hall the teams past a few lingering students he looked at them as they passed. "Ready to lose, Potter?" Draco said to him with a smirk.
"You wish." Potter said back.
Draco smirked again, and took Elvira's hand. He would be lying if he said he wasn't worried about this match, but in fact he was. Granger was on the team, and as a chaser, she would have probably came up with tactics and strategies unbelievable good. But Draco was still confident in his team nonetheless.
The two teams made it to the pitch and already saw some parents sitting in the high bleachers. The Gryffindor team headed to the right and the Slytherins headed to the left. Draco saw someone standing at the entrance to the locker room. As they got closer he saw that it was his mother. They reached the entrance and Draco signaled for the rest of the team to head inside. Elvira couldn't help but picture the lifeless body of Narcissa as she looked at her. She pushed that thought out of her mind and gave Narcissa a hug, which was returned. Draco then gave his mother a hug also. She clasped her hands together and looked at the two of them.
"Well I would be lying if I said that I wasn't happy on what I saw while the two of you were walking down here, hand in hand."
Elvira blushed, and Draco looked as if he was about to die. "Mom you saw that? Oh my god."
"Yes I did and I am happy for the both of you. I can't wait to see you two play. I was talking to Adrian and Alex's parents and they said you were excellent Draco." she told them.
"Well, Elvira is pretty good too. I've watched her at our practices." Draco said making Elvira blush even more and hang her head down. Narcissa looked at Draco her eyes telling him that she wanted to talk to him alone, Draco got the message and looked at Elvira. "Hey, Eli, could you do me a favor. Can you go inside and talk the tactics over again with the team. I'll be in a few minutes."
Elvira looked at him for a second and nodded, she gave Narcissa a hug, "Nice seeing you again Mrs. Malfoy."
"Same here dear." and Elvira opened the door and walked into the locker room. Narcissa dropped her voice to a whisper. "Have you been keeping an eye on her, Draco?" he nodded. "Good, I'm getting more and more worried by the day. Your father keeps staying away from the house more and more. And he comes home angry a lot. We can't let them get a hold of her Draco."
"Shouldn't we tell Dumbledore then?" he asked.
"He already knows, I sent him an owl telling him about the situation, and he sent one to the Ministry about it too."
"Wont they try and take Elvira away though?" Draco said worry on his voice. He didn't want her taken away from him.
"No Draco, they think that that will bring to much attention to the dark powers, so they wont, you don't have to worry about that. Now your only job is to keep her safe and I'll keep owling you with more information, but you must inform me if Elvira finds out about her power, alright?" Draco nodded. "Ok, now what I want you to do is go out there and win this game." she said smiling.
"I will, don't worry." he said. She bent down and gave him a hug and headed back up into the stands. Draco walked into the lockers room and sat down with his team and took over from where Elvira had left off discussing their tactics.
Twenty minutes later Madam Hooch stepped into the locker room. "We are ready to begin." she said and left.
The team grabbed their brooms and headed in steppe as if they were in the army toward the closed door that led to the pitch, and Elvira could just imagine army music playing in her mind as they walked, They stopped in front of a closed door that lead out to the pitch. "Remember guys. We can do this. No mercy what so ever." Draco said from the front.
