Chapter 8: The Ultimate Betrayal

With a crack a figure in a dark robe appeared out of thin air. The figure looked around and took off to the right. Dodging trees in the dark wood was no easy task, but the figure was soon at the meeting place. There were others in dark robes. The others pushed the figure into the center of their circle. The figure faced a tall man with pale hands. It's head turned toward the figure. The face was as pale if not more so than the hands. There were slits where a nose should have been. The eyes were like a snakes eyes.

This man spoke with a high, cold voice. "Welcome, Samantha." The figure inside the circle pulled down its' hood to reveal a girl with dark brown hair and green eyes. She was very pretty.

"Thank you, master," said Sam with a bow.

"How have you done on the quest that I sent you on?"

"Master," said Sam, eyes still averted even though she had straightened from the bow. "I'm afraid I have failed you."

"So, Harry Potter and the Red-Head are still friends?"

"Yes, Master. Please don't punish me. I did all I could. Their friendship is too strong."

"Yes. So it is time for Plan B, then." The Pale figure turned and addressed another figure standing tall and proud. "Are you ready?"

"Yes, Lord," said a cold voice that Sam recognized immediately.

"Draco," Sam whispered.

"Hullo, Sam. Failed, did you? Now it's my turn." He turned and walked away. Sam watched him go with hunger filling her green eyes.

A/N: I know, I know. It's short. I'm sorry. Unfortunately that is the end of this story. What did you think? Don't worry there will be a sequel. I just have to write it. So it may take a while. Bear with me.

I love this story. I'm not just being biased. Well, maybe a little, but if you'll notice it was mainly Ron/Hermione. There was a hint of Harry/Ginny thrown in though. As I was writing this, the character Sam stood out to me. She is based on someone I know, with distinctive differences. This person asked to be put in the story. The real person is not evil, nor does she snog random people. I just thought I should make that known. Sam was a lot of fun to write. The next story will be about her and Draco. Possibly some Harry/Ginny in there. I'm not sure yet. Please review. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. I'll answer. Bye! (goes off to think of the next story)
