We agreed on how to get Draco there, and how to keep Harry away. Ginny would send some of hers and Ron's things back to the Burrow, and the four of them would go back to get them that night, then, I would get use a summoning charm to get Draco to my house that night, and hopefully get him to show me the Dark Mark on his arm, just to confirm that really was working for Voldemort, and then get him to ask me out, so we could get him to tell me more. I was so excited that I could help out already, but in my heart, I knew that I was doing it for the wrong reasons. But how could I tell them? If I did, they wouldn't let me carry out the plan, but if I didn't, I would already be betraying them.
Around 9:30 that night, the four of them left for The Burrow, Hermione giving me a look that told me to be careful, and as soon as I was sure that they were gone, I summoned for him.
"Accio Draco Malfoy!" We hadn't been sure if a simple summoning charm would work, but that was all I could do, so we hoped it would. A few seconds later, there was a cloud of smoke, and when it cleared, Draco was standing in front of me, looking terribly confused. He looked around the room, and his eyes fell on me.
"Who are you? What am I doing here? This is a muggle house, isn't it? GET ME OUT OF HERE!" I was trying very hard not to flip out, and believe me, it was extremely hard, because however handsome he looked in the movies, was multiplied by ten when you see him in person. But I had a job to do, so before I let my feelings take control, I had to get him to show me his mark.
"Umm, I'm really sorry about that, but I didn't know any other way to get you to come here, and it's very important that I talk to you. My name is Beth, just so you know. You see, I was just informed yesterday that the Ministry of Magic never informed me that I'm a witch, and now, I'm going to be attending Hogwarts this year, and I was hoping that you could help me out. The mud-blood Granger, the blood traitor Weasleys, and "The Boy Who Lived" Potter came yesterday to inform me that I'm a witch, and my parents forced me to allow them to stay here, but luckily, they had errands to run, and I don't want to socialize with them at school. I was hoping that you could help me get in Slytherin. I really admire everything that you've done, which is why I called you here."
"Wow, I feel really sorry that you have to put up with those horrible people staying here, but aren't you a mud-blood as well? I mean, your parents are muggles, aren't they?" I explained what Draco believed was the real story, knowing in my mind that I was possibly going to lose him when he found out I was lying, but I had to do it. Evidently, he believed me, because by the time I was finished, I was putting on a very good show, even crying (though he thought I was crying about the story I was telling him, but I was crying for a whole other reason.), and he hugged me, telling me that he would help me out, and that things weren't that bad.
We talked for about three hours, and I almost forgot what I was supposed to do. But, just as I was about to ask Draco if he would show me the Dark Mark on his arm, I heard Harry's voice outside, and told Draco that he'd have to come back, because I didn't want Harry to try to start something, and he left. Almost instantly, Hermione and Ginny dragged me into my room and locked the door. What was I going to tell them? I hadn't found out anything! But I had to tell them something, so I decided to tell them exactly what happened, and that he was coming back the next day.
"What do you mean you didn't have enough time to ask him? We gave you three and a half hours, and all you managed to find out is that he thinks you're pretty!" wow, I'd never have thought that Ginny could get so mad!
"Listen, I'm sorry. But if I'd just said 'Hey, is it true that you have the Dark Mark?' he would have left without ever telling me anything! And he's coming back, I'll get him to show me then. Chill!"
"Beth's right Ginny, I mean, he wouldn't have just shown her without getting to know her at all! Be reasonable, she's still fairly new at this. We'll just take the guys out somewhere tomorrow night so she can have some time alone with Draco."
"Thank you Hermione."
I know that some of this stuff probably isn't something that could happen in the HP books, but I wanted to be original, because a lot of the stories on here are so much like the books, and I wanted to be different
