Chapter 12

"I have one condition" Ruth managed to whisper.

She knew this was out of character for her but she wanted to break her brother let him see this was more than a childhood problem. Draco had betrayed the Order; he had been working for them from the start.

"What condition do you want my child"

"I want Manuel dead"

"What?!" Draco growled.

"Now, now, Draco this is her decision. Ruth I will do it."

"I want Draco to do it."

"I see no difference in Voldermort killing him." Draco stated.

"That is my condition."

"Then we have a deal…"

"But I also want for Draco to answer me something."

"What would you like to know?" Draco sneered.

"Why your own father?" she cried.

"Draco chuckled sending chills up Ruth's back. Draco never chuckled it was forbidden."

"Well I got tired of him, looking out for him and sympathizing with him. He only thought about himself, not caring about his family."

"Aren't you doing the same thing?"

"I prefer being the one in charge. I didn't want to take his orders forever and look at me I'll be the all powerful Dark Prince."

"Isn't that position already taken?"

He snorted at this. "You bore me sister." then he apparated.

"Ruth take this, it will take you back to Hogwarts." Voldermort pleaded holding a key in his hand.

"Goodbye" Ruth worded as she took the key from her grandfather's (Voldermort) hand.

She reached her room but she didn't go sleep instead she headed to the Common Room.

After he apparated to Hogwarts Draco pondered about his mission kill Manuel, his best friend and co conspirator in Potter's fall. Manuel's job was to make Ruth vulnerable and separate her from her mother then Draco would send a search party to look for Manuel a day late. Then Draco would convince the Dark Lord to let Manuel help them. For the first time he felt like a traitor.

"Draco, nice to see you. How's our plan coming?"

"Great I am going to rule the world." Draco answered sarcastically.

"Why do you have that face?" Manuel asked.

"I feel bad"

"Why?"

"I am going to kill someone I truly admire".

"Voldermort doesn't care. Don't let him get to you."

"Manuel we need to talk." Draco informed.

"What happened now?" Manuel snapped.

"Plans changed." Draco answered.

"How?"

"Manuel you are the brother I never had. I am having doubts about Ruth."

"She is going to accept I told you. She is easy to manipulate." Draco then sensed another presence entering the common room, his sister. His plan would work out after all.

"Manuel I don't know what you're talking about. How can you say that about my sister?"

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"We need to go."

"Why?"

"Come on."

"They both headed to the Forbidden Forest." There Draco stopped.

"I am sorry for all of this" Draco managed to say as tears escaped his eyes.

"I thought we had a pact. Manuel sobbed making Draco shake his head indicaing the opposite."

"Get on your knees!" Draco yelled wiping tears off his face.

Manuel did as he was told.

"Avada Kevadra" Whispered Draco.

"No!" yelled a female voice startling Draco

"Hermione, what did you see?"

"Everything." she gasped

"Come with me."

"Why should I?"

"I just killed my best friend, killing you won't be any harder."

Then he took her by the arm dragging her away from Hogwarts. When he could see nothing he spoke again.

"You are just what I need." he said as he forced a kiss onto her.

"Let me go!" she cried as she slapped him.

"Then let's go." He ordered.

He grabbed her arm and apparated into a beautiful room. There was a four poster bed with black cotton sheets on the nightstand there was a journal with the initials D.M. on the cover page.

"This will be your cell for now." He announced before disappearing.

Voldermort had been waiting anxiously for one hour in his soon to be castle before Draco reappeared.

"What now Malfoy?"

"Send a letter to Potter; tell him we have Hermione and Manuel."

"But you were supposed to kill him."

"I did but Potter doesn't know that he is in the Forbidden Forest I bet he will be found tomorrow morning and if they find his body it will serve as a warning on what may happen to Granger."

"So it all begins tonight October 30." Voldermort recited.
