A/ N: Good evening to you all. I'm back and I'm loaded with chapters. I am not kidding. Now, I'm officially of grounding and so I am free.

Batbones: You were saying rich, that doesn't even begin to cover it. I'll go into detail about her riches in the next chapter. I think it's the next chapter?

Don't forget to review and don't hate me too much about how I treat Jacqui. This is not the most of her problems. Um… don't ask.

Two days later…

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter," came out the chilling voice of Voldemort. "And you," he glared at Amaryllis (a.k.a. Jacqui), "continue singing."

At the end of the enter, a pale faced Draco came in and bowed several feet in front of Voldemort. "Dinner is ready, My Lord. When would…"

"Have it sent up here. Then, wait outside my door to escort this girl to dinner," said Voldemort powerfully.

"As you wish, My Lord," bowed Draco and stole a glance at the singing Jacqueline, whose eyes returned a pleading of not to leave her.

When the room was empty and dinner was on the table, Voldemort said, "That enough!" and Amaris stopped right away with fear behind her eyes. "You haven't worked as hard on your assignment as I thought right. Now, you may receive your punishment," and with that he bellowed, "Crucio."

Outside, Draco stood patiently.

What could be taking so long?

He glanced towards the door in time to see a red light blinking inside, (the door was sound proof).

What could he be doing to her?

The very thought of this scared him so he pushed it out of his mind when the door opened. A completely tranquil Jacqueline emerged. The door snapped shut behind her and she set off down the corridor to her room at a slow pace.

"Jacqueline! What about dinner?" asked Draco, following her.

She didn't answer.

The two walked into Jacqui's sitting room and she closed the door by leaning against it. She then sank down to her knees and began to sob. Draco knelt down by her and brought her into his arms.

"What happened?" he asked softly.

She began to mumble and shake her head with more tears coming down her cheeks. Draco tightened his grip around her and the two sat there with out saying a word. After calming down a bit, Amy whispered, "It was…I'm not…good enough. I…I'll break. I didn't do …a good enough (sob) job so far. I've gotten into (sob) too much trouble this year. So I was…," and there she shuddered and burst into tears again, burrowing her face into Draco's chest.

"Ron! What is your problem?" said Hermione.

Ron was sitting in his armchair, gloomy as ever.

"So what if she's not here," she continued.

Ron mumbled something about the ball.

"Ask someone else! Like she's the only girl in the school."

"'mione, go with me then," mumbled Ron.

"I told you, I'm going with Harry," said Hermione.

Ron mumbled again.

"If you have nothing better to do than mope than get some work done."

Another mumble.

Hermione left Ron alone and went to sit by Harry.

"Where'd Jacqueline go anyways?"

"Don't know," said Harry.

"Surely she said something."

Harry shook his head. "You know what else?"

"Hmm?"

"Malfoy's gone too."

Hermione looked at him. "I don't even want to think about that. But, I think something is going on between those two other than friendship."

"Don't tell Ron," laughed Harry.

"Jacqui," said Draco softly as after a half an hour she quieted down.

"What?" the other mumbled.

"You'll be ok?"

She sighed and then nodded, but she made no attempt to move away from him. She liked to be in his arms and would sit there until he would move.

"You know what?"

"Hmm?"

"You still call me Jacqui."

Draco sat there, thinking. "Is that a problem?"

"Not really. I don't care what you call me." As long as you say either of my names I'm happy.

Draco smirked. He pulled her away from him and looked at her. He then kissed her. She answered him, but after a few kisses, she pulled away.

"Not here, not while he's here. If he finds out, we'll be separated," she whispered against his lips.

They stood up and were about to leave the sitting room when Amy kissed Draco one last time.

"You were saying something?" said Draco.

"One last one until we return to school," she said.

Draco's eyebrows rose, but Jacqui pushed past him and walked out of the room.

The two were at the top of the staircase when they heard someone take hold of the door knob of the front door. Jacqui froze, making Draco bump into her. The door began to open slowly. Jacqui took Draco by the front of his robes and yanked him after her. They left the entry in time. Wizards piled into the entry; clearly they were from the ministry. They split up. Some heading right, some left, some headed upstairs.

"We have no time," gasped Jacqui, "Pack your things and once you do apparate to Malfoy Manor."

Draco hid in his room, while Jacqueline made sure everything was like she found it three days ago. She heard someone enter her room. She waved her wand and everything packed. Someone reached for the doorknob to her bedroom.

"Oh, no. Fuck," she whispered. At the last moment she apparated. The ministry wizard entered to an empty room.

A/N: I know it's a cliffy, but as I say, Deal With It. Now, review and the next chappy will appear.
