Well this is it, my first attempt at any type of story. Let's hope this works out right. Hope lots of people read and enjoy. Be honest and please review!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything that has to do with Harry Potter and his world. That good juicy stuff is all J.K. Rowling's. I'm just making a new story with it!!! And now, on with the story!!!
Draco was running across the abandoned Quidditch field with a heart full of fear. Overhead many dark figures on brooms flew, casting a jet of green or red light wherever they pleased. The grass stirred below him as if preparing for the certain doom that loomed overhead. The moon and the light of many wands including his own were his only guides. The wind whispered through the trees, mingling with the sounds of laughter and screams. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a dark figure emerged running toward him. He grabbed it by the arms and peered down at its' face. A pairs of brown eyes were illuminated by the shot of red light that flew past them.He held Hermione Granger close to him and continued to run, only to be stopped short by two figures, descending on brooms right in front of him.
The closest one spoke. "Nice work, son. You caught Potter's little mudblood brat all on your own. Now... hand her here."
Draco held Hermione tighter and stared defiantly at his father. "No! You will not touch her!"
"Don't be a fool, boy. Listen to your father and hand the girl to me. Do you wish to shame your family?" The speaker had a cold high pitched voice. He didn't need to lower his hood for Draco to identify him as Voldemort.
"You won't touch her." Draco repeated now stepping in front of Hermione and raising his wand to his father's hooded form. He wasn't going down with out a fight... and they were not going to get Hermione!
"Foolish boy!" Voldemort screamed. Lucius raised his wand and yelled "stupefy!" and Draco was thrown to the ground, head facing the side. He couldn't move. Somewhere, outside his eyesight, he heard Hermione scream. Several more sounds followed, reminding Draco of the boxing match he went to once. Was she trying to fight back?
After a final scream, Hermione landed on the ground next to him. She faced him, but was still. Her eyes, once full of life and happiness, were now empty and dull. Her hair fell down over one cheek and a thin trail of blood ran from the side of her head. Her face was white, and her lips slightly parted. Hermione Granger, the smartest girl Hogwarts had ever known, was dead. Draco let out a scream as the world around him began to fade. The last thing he saw was Hermione, staring at him through lifeless eyes.....
"Draco, mate, c'mon wake up. Wake up, Draco. Draco, GET UP!!!" Someone shook Draco awake. When he opened his eyes they were met by the cold, black ones of Blaise, who slept in the bed next to his. After snapping at him to go back to sleep, Draco left the room and went down to the empty common room. The fire was out for the night. He didn't mind, he sat on the windowsill and peered out into the moonlit night. The moon was nearly full.
With a shudder, Draco remembered his big false image, the one he put on for his father. For about two years now, he could remember his heart beginning to change. He no longer wanted to be a death eater like his father, but he couldn't tell him that. He had to look tough in order for his father to trust him. All his work paid off as he remembered the crucial detail his father had let slip, only a month ago. A plan Voldemort had thought up. It was a sickening idea, and Draco grew pale just thinking of it.
He wouldn't let that happen. It was time to choose a side and stick with it. Now, whenever he looked at another student, he would see death, terror, and sadness in their eyes. In one curly brown-haired Gryffindor girl more then anyone else, he could see the end of peace and the beginning of a war no wizard or muggle would be able to avoid. A war that would lead to the end of all things. With a sigh, he looked out the window at the moon. Voldemort's night was coming soon, and he was the only one at Hogwarts prepared.
A/N well, this is just the beggining. I hope you like it, I had to change the whole thing around 3 times. Please review!!!
