Mid Heaven Flights

A/N: Betrayed Vision here. I can't explain why I wanted Chapter Six to be so short. It was just "in the gut" feeling. Thank you KidBlink29 for your review!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, only my mind. Jo own Harry Potter, and Edgar Allen Poe owns his lovely writings. Also the "Come join us brother," saying some of it is not mine. That saying belongs to the movie Troy.

RECAP ON CHAPTER SIX:

………………Draco's eyes wandered to the window, it was raining. The rain tickled the window and made a soft calming noise that could lure a man to sleep. He looked into the eyes of each of his Professors and noticed something was terribly wrong, he read it in there eyes. The atmosphere of the room suddenly got intoxicating and Professor McGonagall was trying to asphyxiate back sobs. "Draco, the ministry is here, there taking you and Blaise to Azkaban until they can figure out what to do with you. We can't do anything else to protect you," Dumbledore said and hugged the boy.

Draco's heart sunk, his soul was no longer there. "I'll…go…wake…Blaise," was all Draco could say and went into Blaise's room. "Wake up, dress warmly," he said and shook Blaise violently. Draco went back into the room and sat on the couch and put his head in his hands and just shook his head. "You'll get a trial, were going to get you out, don't worry," Severus soothed putting his arm around Draco.

"My boys!" Professor McGonagall sobbed and rushed over to hug Blaise. "How long?" a voice behind them asked. Alice was pale as a ghost, "How long should they wait till they receive a trial?" Dumbledore shook his head and touched Draco's head. "Come on boys, we shouldn't keep them too long. Bring nothing, give me your wands." Dumbledore somberly whispered getting the boys wands.

Alice followed and Severus stopped her, "No, stay behind Alice."…………..

Chapter Seven: Azkaban consumes your mind.

Alice muttered to herself trying to calm herself to fall asleep,

'Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none
Is it there fore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how the creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them wit a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Alice cried and decided to get up and go see Atalanta, and to bring her the grief bearing news. She walked slowly sometimes stopping and crying into her hands, "Alice Scorpton you're not to be out these hours," Harry Potter lectured pulling her back to the prefect common room. "What is the Slytherin password to there common room?" Alice whispered jerking her arm away from the Head Boy. She looked up at him; the color of her face was no longer there. Alice's had not an outlet of her soul through her eyes, her eyes showed the sadness that clung to her body.

"Israfel, but do be quick. I don't want you getting in trouble," Harry asked escorting her to the Slytherin common room. Alice went into the Slytherin common and got a couple stares from some people who decided to stay up late. Atalanta was one of them, she had no clue what had just happened an hour ago. "Atalanta, I need to tell you something," Alice said playing with her sleeves of her robes.

"What Alice? Where are Blaise and Draco? Aren't you supposed to stay with them?" Atalanta asked curiously. Alice broke down in sobs, "The Ministry took them! There going to be Azkaban… they have to wait for a trial!" Atalanta's eyes went wide and she got up grabbing Alice by the hand not believing her, they went straight to Professor Snapes office.

"Professor, Alice here tells me that the Ministry took Blaise and Draco. Sent them into Azkaban she says," Atalanta retorted. Tears rolled down Alice's face, she wiped them away with her sleeve. "Miss Scorpton, report back to your dorm. I'll break the news to Miss Rampage," Professor Snape calmly said and leaded Alice to the door. He hugged her and whispered to her, "Everything is going to be okay Alice, just try to get some sleep."

Alice walked back to her dorm, it was a nightmare come true. Her days with Draco were a dream within a dream. Maybe never coming back, never visiting her eyes. Alice walked into her dorm, where the portraits tried giving her reassurance. She walked into his room and sitting on his bed she cried, "Oh this is my entire fault! Why must I be so easily tricked?"

Alice's head fell into his pillows and she cried sorrowfully.

...Azkaban...

Draco sat somberly in the cell. It was pitch black his eyes darted at every noise. It felt like it was the end of the world when the Dementors walked by his cell. He couldn't show any emotion, he just longed to be out of Azkaban. Draco had a sullen appearance, and he could hear the insanity talking of the men near him. The shouts of traitors names echoed the halls, the whispering of the Dementors where also heard when close by.

"Lucius?" a womanly voice asked through the wall. "No, I'm not Lucius." Draco whispered back. "Draco, my nephew is that you?" the womanly voice asked again. The womanly voice was Bellatrix Black Lestrange. Draco's eyes went wide, "Aunt Bellatrix?" Draco asked putting his ear up to the wall. "They caught you-again?" Draco whispered through the wall.

"They did, what are you doing in here? Draco, what did you do?" Bellatrix whispered urgently. Draco sighed closing his eyes he could see Alice's face in his mind, "I was caught," Draco uttered. He closed his eyes again, the face of Alice disappeared he could only see the people he killed. They all called for him, haunting him, whispering in a lulling voice, "Come, Come, Join us, Join us Brother. Let the death eaters take you, join us Brother! Join us." Draco cried in his hands, "Hush my boy, you'll be out soon," Bellatrix soothed through the crack in the wall.

"JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US BROTHER!" the voices screamed as Draco saw there bodies around him in the floor. The blood covered his hands and body of the ones he killed crawled to him and touched his face tormenting him. He screamed to get the devils away; the scream was so loud that it made Azkaban quiet, "You see them don't you?" Bellatrix whispered through the wall, in a sick way she was trying to calm her nephew down. Draco's clamped his eyes shut, the bodies were imprinted in his head, the place was going to make him go mad. He could feel the touch of there decaying skin, even smell them. "Shhh, that's what Azkaban does to you, just relax," Bellatrix whispered.

...Hogwarts...

Alice could barely get out of bed that morning, she dragged her self to the Great Hall. She was only troubled my more things, on the newspaper it read: HOGWARTS BOYS GO TO AZKABAN! She ran to the lavatory and vomited up all the food she had eaten, "Ah oh dear, Miss Slytherin Princess is sickie wickie?" Peeves picked when she ran into the bathroom. Alice washing herself sat on the bathroom floor and cried, "Don't listen to Peeves," a squeaky voice said coming out of the u-bend. Alice just sobbed putting her head into her knees.

"That's not the reason your crying about is it?" the girl asked and Alice looked up, it was Moaning Myrtal. Alice dropped her head letting her hair cover her tear stricken face. "Alice?" Ulyssia called popping her head into the lavatory.

"Alice," Ulyssia gasped when she saw the wreck her friend was in. Ulyssia sat next to her and cradled her, "It's-all-my-fault!" Alice wailed into her friends arms. Ulyssia hushed her, "Alice, it's not your fault, don't blame yourself, Dumbledore did the best he could to keep them in the school, I guess…it just wasn't enough."

Moaning Myrtal turned up her nose, "Those boys? I can't believe your crying over them! Those wretched, heartless, awful boys!" She dove into the U-bend. Ulyssia shot a spell at the U-bend, cursing Moaning Myrtal to make things worse. Ulyssia pulled Alice up and hugged her, walking down the hall carrying her things. Professor McGonagall looked sadly as the two passed bye, they went down into the dungeons where Professor Snape held his classes. He was sitting there staring out the window, occasionally sighing sorrowfully. Ulyssia looked at her friend; dark circles were around her eyes along with the puffiness from crying. "Professor Snape, I don't think Alice can take it anymore. She needs something to keep her asleep till Draco and Blaise have there trial."

Professor Snape looked over at the girl, "I think I can do that, the trial is in a week. We were informed that this morning," he paused looking through his cabinets for an already made sleeping potion. The pulled out a little vial giving it to her he whispered, "Drink this Alice, it won't give you any dreams." Alice dazed out of her mind drank the vile; Ulyssia took Alice to her dorm and changed into her night gown. Alice hit the pillow and immediately fell asleep.

Ulyssia sighed, 'It shouldn't be this way. It is torture to every ones soul that actually cares for those people. I couldn't see Alice grieve like that, she would have lost her soul. She would have disappeared as a person in front of every ones eyes. I just hope Atalanta isn't the same,' Ulyssia thought closing the door of the dorm looking at the other Prefects who gathered around in the common room.

"Is she going to be ok?" Some asked, Ulyssia shrugged and explained the potion Snape gave Alice.

……The Trial…..

"Mr. Draco Lucius Malfoy, you were put into Azkaban for accuse of being a Death Eater, do you deny this claim?" a voice above Draco's head talked in monotone. "No sir, I deny nothing," Draco said looking up at the Wizengamot court.

"Would you show us you're…mark to prove our assumptions?" The man commanded and Draco rolled up his sleeve showing his mark. "Where you forced into the Death Eater role?" one of the council members asked shuffling papers.

"I was bribed," Draco muttered rolling down his sleeve. "Bribed? How were you bribed?" the same voice asked again. Draco sat down rubbing his head he spoke quickly, "m'Lord came to me, saying that I would be his right-hand-man, sayings such as he'd give me power. I was foolish enough to believe him; I was idiotic… drunken with greed. Obviously I accepted his bribe, and that is how I came a Death Eater."

There was a whisper among the counsel and the man voice banged his gavel. "You are still in Hogwarts?" he asked sitting back in the darkness.

"Yes sir," Draco answered looking over to Dumbledore with help. Dumbledore patted his hand, "He's one of my brightest students, top of the class."

"Who else are you close to? Who would really know you Draco besides Mr. Blaise Ignozio Zabini?" The council asked in a barbaric tone, Draco looked sadly over at Dumbledore and mumbled a name. "Come again?" the man boomed again. "Alice Scorpton, sir."
