Once the four of them reached the castle steps, Draco slowly pushed open the door. "It's too quiet…" Elian nodded in agreement as she looked back at Ron and Hermione. Suddenly twenty or more Death Eaters appeared in front of them, Draco then stepped in front of Elian protectively.

"Well, done, Draco. You've done exactly as we planned." Elian looked at Draco, a look of mixed shock and horror on her face. The Death Eater started laughing uproariously as he stepped around Draco and moved closer to Elian.

"Dammit! I knew you didn't change!" Ron yelled at him, tightening his arms around Hermione. Draco looked at him, remorse clear in his eyes. "Never trust a Malfoy… no matter how much they seem to have changed!" Elian looked up at the Death Eater, her expression a frightened one, but also one of disappointment.

"Draco… how the hell could you do this to me?" She yelled glaring up at the man she had once loved. "Answer me! First you disappear and break my heart… then five years later you come back only to sell me to Voldemort! This is what I get for ever missing you… this is my repayment for ever loving you!" Tears quickly filled her emerald eyes as she continued to glare at Draco.

"This isn't my fault! I had nothing to do with this!" Draco yelled back at her, shocking everyone within one hundred feet of him. "This is my father's doing, not mine! Why would I sell the only woman I ever truly loved to Voldemort?" Tears now appeared in Draco's eyes as well.

"Draco, don't lie to her…that is not love." Lucius Malfoy said as he stepped out of the shadows, his long platinum blonde hair trailing behind him. "And you are both to young to know of true love…given the chance she would leave you for someone else… someone with more power, more wealth…" Draco shook his head, glancing over at Elian slightly.

"You bastard! I hate you! I damn your soul to the depths of hell!" Elian yelled at Lucius, causing him to smile cruelly. He walked over to her and gently lifted her face to his, then suddenly covered her lips with his own. Draco growled with rage. Elian finally managed to shove Lucius roughly away.

"I can see why you liked her, son…she has sprit and passion. She must have been a wildcat in bed." Elian slapped Lucius hard across the face while Draco quickly advanced on his father, and then grabbed him roughly by the collar.
