YAY! Alright, I know the last question was kind of a screw up, it was not in the book but it was on a sight I use for most of my information. It's really cool to look around, lots of interesting facts. And all my answers will be on it. If you want the link email me
Hereis the story!
Draco closed his eyes and remembered what the Dark Lord had told him.
:flashback:
"Draco, I am sending you to fetch my weapon. This weapon is the most important thing of your whole mission while at Hogwarts. If you fail to retrieve this I will be most unhappy, which may lead to your death." Voldemort's raspy voice cut through the darkness.
"Yes my Lord." Draco waited for Voldemort to explain what exactly this weapon was.
"The weapon I wish you to capture is a girl, a girl about your age to be exact. Her name is Hailey Potter and she is one of the most powerful witches I have ever seen. The only thing you have to watch out for is the fact she can not totally control this power. Now, I want you to get close to the girl and make her feel easy around you, once you have done this contact me and I will send some of my death eaters into the palace, where you will do you job, my death eaters will take the girl and you will all get out of the castle before anything can be done to stop you. Make sure the girl is with you when you go to complete your other mission." Voldemort's pale face was now no further than a few inches away from Draco's face.
"Yes my Lord, I can do that." Draco sounded confident.
"One rule Draco, you can not, at any cost, sleep with her." Voldemort added in a harsh and warning tone.
"If I may ask-" Draco was cut off.
"It is none of your concern just follow my rules and accomplish this and you will take your father's place as my main death eater." Voldemort quickly cut off Draco.
"Yes my Lord." Draco nodded and was dismissed. Now he had two tasks to complete and they were not going to be easy.
:End of flashback:
Draco heard the teacher dismiss them and opened his eyes. His thoughts had been wide open, but it was lucky that no one knew Occlumency. He packed up his books and walked out of the class room. He took time to check out a few girls in the hall but stopped when he heard someone yell.
"You filthy ass hole!" a feminine voice screeched. Draco looked back to see Hailey turning around, a boy from his class had apparently touched her in the wrong spot. Hailey punched him hard in the jaw. The boy shoved Hailey against the wall making her drop all of her things then slapped her. Draco cursed under his breath and headed that way. He hated men who hit women; they were all just cowards who couldn't fight anyone else.
Hailey's face stung with the impact of the boy's hand. She could already tell it was going to bruise. She balled up her fists out of reaction and propelled her fists into his stomach. The boy's stomach, unfortunately, was rock hard. A crowd began to form around the two and Harry was pushed to the back. Hailey stepped back quickly to avoid being hit again and then picked up her back quickly swung it into his face. Papers were strewn everywhere and the boy fell back against the wall holding his head. When he went to strike again Hailey threw her hand out to block the punch, this caused the boy to fall onto the ground screeching. Hailey's eyes glimmered with fear as she looked down at her hands. She quickly flicked her wrists and watched the boy fall to the ground his earsplitting screaming was silenced. She did not even bother to pick up her things, but ran down the corridor towards an empty area. Harry watched helplessly.
The crowd was now being shooed away by Professor Slughorn, who also took the liberty of taking the boy down to the hospital wing for inspection. Harry and the others were sent to class, but Draco was asked to take the Hailey's stuff to her and calm her down. Harry was very unhappy with this, and when he began to argue about the decision, he was rewarded with ten less points for the Griffindor house.
Draco knelt down and began picking up papers. His mind wondered to what curse Hailey had used. She had obviously used one of the Unforgivable curses, which would cause many rumors. Draco shuddered to think if she would have accidentally used the Cruciatus Curse on him. He finished picking up the girls books and walked down the hall in which he had last seen her.
Draco could hear sobbing coming from one of the empty class rooms. He set the books he had in his hands down on the floor and walked into the dark class room. He heard the sobbing stop and it got quiet until Draco heard someone sniffle. He smiled to himself; he could just imagine Hailey sitting in the corner like an innocent little girl when she had just almost killed someone. He walked over toward the sounds and kneeled down.
"Hailey?" Draco said softly.
"What do you want?" Hailey's voice cracked as she spoke and she once again broke into sobs.
"Hailey…shh, it's alright, you didn't mean to." Draco reached out and found Hailey's shoulders and pulled her towards him. He could feel the girl's hot tears on his shirt.
"How do you know? I could be some kind of killer." Hailey asked, her sobbing grew louder.
"Hailey, if you were a killer you would not be crying right now." Draco stated the obvious.
"I could be some coward, you don't know me." Hailey defended her idea; all she wanted was to be alone and to find some sharp object.
"Hailey…please stop this. You're a good person, I have seen you around your friends and I know what you like. As for this…well I am not sure why, but apparently you are unable to control you power." Draco tried to sound smooth.
"I have never been able to control my power, and I never will be able to." Hailey sniffled and settled into Draco's lap. She could feel his muscular arms wrap around her waist and his chin rest on her head.
"What do you mean?" Draco inquired. He was curious to know what faults this girl could have.
"You wouldn't understand." Hailey shook her head slightly.
"Just tell me and I will try." Draco said softly.
"Well…I have so much power that my body can not control everything. My mind is often split on what I should do, and what I want to do. I have been around the Dark Arts all my life and I have learned how to protect myself from it, and the only way to fight the Dark Arts is with Dark spells, like the Cruciatus Curse. I learned that when I was only eight, but I have never used it on anyone. I have tried to use it on the Dark Lord many times…but I fear I am not as strong as he is." Hailey sighed. Her tears still slipped down her cheeks but her voice was back to normal.
"Well you're not around the Dark Lord or his power anymore. You should not have to fear anything." Draco said.
"There has been a warning given to me. There is someone here who plans on taking me back to the Dark Lord. I would rather die than go back." Hailey shook in Draco's arms, she felt cold and alone, and almost like she was with Voldemort again.
"Someone here? Do you know who?" Draco asked, he was nervous, but he knew she would not suspect him, he was sucking up well and she seemed to feel safe around him.
"No, Harry says it's probably you. But I know it's not." Hailey answered.
"Really now, why is that?" Draco looked down at her.
"Because I can feel your intentions. I know you're not a bad person," Hailey laughed slightly. "You may think you're all bad, but you're just someone in need of companionship."
"You really think so?" Draco smiled to himself at her foolishness.
"I told you, I know so." Hailey smiled.
Draco closed his eyes and held Hailey until he could no longer feel the drops of her tears falling onto his hand. He smiled and looked at her. Her makeup was smeared, but in his opinion she looked just fine without it. He smiled and wiped away her tears and eyeliner with his thumb. Then he helped her to her feet and led her through the dark room. Once they were out in the open Draco put on his "tough boy" act.
"Here is your stuff." Draco picked up Hailey's books and shoved them into her hand and walked down the hall to class, leaving Hailey to do what she wanted.
Hailey rolled her eyes. 'Men, they are so complicated.' She shook her head at her thoughts and walked down the hall towards the Griffindor common room. 'I can't go to class now; I bet everyone is afraid of me now. And I bet that toad of a teacher is going to tell Dumbledore that I am a death eater or something preposterous like that.' Hailey sighed and entered the common room. It was entirely empty; there was nothing there but the usual decorations. Hailey threw her books on the table and lay down on the couch. Before she knew it she had fallen fast asleep.
