"Well start talking Draco. What do you know about that muggle?"
"I know she has closed herself off to love. Her mother used her father's love and killed him after he had served his purpose. There was a man."
"Nash."
"Yes, how did you know?"
"Legillimency, really Draco you can't possibly be this stupid."
"Anyway you probably know all there is to know about them."
"Not everything, I merely saw the break-up. Not the beginning or middle the important stuff."
"They met in hospital. He was there to claim his father's body. She accidentally spilled her coffee on him. He went ballistic then he cried on her shoulder. He was grieving his father's death. She was empathetic having lost her father in a most awful manner. After that they became friends meeting frequently in a cafe' for coffee, when her shift ended. One day she rarely had the day off, they went to see a movie then to a bar. She got trashed and slept with him. That's when she made him promise not to fall in love with her. Stating that they were what the muggle teenagers would call friends with benefits. This went on for six months. It ended well you know the rest."
"Very informative Draco."
Back in the boiler room Voldemort had fallen back to sleep. "So that girl will soon be mine!"
"Don't get cocky, make no mistake she may be good, but she is also very smart. She is after all the one that defeated me last. No to get to her you must know what her weakness is. Her grandfather Ashley Williams is the only person in this world that she loves and would die for. He is her Achilles' heel. He will prove to be her undoing."
"Good to know my friend."
"Anything for you partner."
"Anything else I need to know about her?"
"Yes she is terrified to dream. She takes hypnocil to prevent me from getting to her. You must not allow anymore of that drug into her system."
"That is as good as done! I'll just have Draco rid the house of hypnocil."
"Good now goodbye friend." Voldemort awoke and summoned Draco to his side.
"Draco, now that you are back with us, I have a task for you. It's an easy one seeing how you failed me last time."
"Anything you want my lord."
"Go back to the muggles and rid that house of something called hypnocil."
"As you command my lord."
The next day Amanda was rudely awakened by the door bell chiming loudly at the foot of the stairs. She sleepily went downstairs and opened the door."I have a package here for Ashley Williams. I need someone to sign for it."
"Fine, thank you. Have a nice day."
"You too." Amanda didn't even have to guess what was in the package when she read who it was from. The label had the sender being Libby Campbell.
"Finally it's here. The Lament Configuration is here!" Amanda ran to Ash's room and woke him up. "Ashley we have it, the tool to rid ourselves of Krueger once and for all. The bastard came out of this box seems fitting he should go back through it."
"That's nice baby. I sleepy I go back to bed."
"It's noon wake up!"
"Bitch!"
Ash got up and into the shower. He had to force himself to be awake. A knock came from the bathroom door. "I'm almost done, damn can't a man shower in privacy?" Ash climbed out of the shower water dripping off his well toned body. He quickly dried himself off, dressing himself in his S-Mart uniform then carefully he placed his hand back on. "The bathroom is all yours Draco."
"Thank you Ash" Draco went into the medicine cabinet and put all of Ash and Amanda's hypnocil down the toilet and quickly replaced them with multi-vitamins. "There that's done." As Ash was tying his shoe to finish getting ready for work the phone rang.
"Hello...Hi Nash... You got the number from Libby didn't you...Of course she'd be happy to see you... No I won't tell her you're coming... I promise... See you soon my boy... Goodbye."
"Who was that?" Amanda asked.
"Just another telemarketer."
"Oh I hate those!" Amanda and Draco spent all day shifting between watching TV and watching DVD's and talking. Ash came in a slammed the door.
"I'm home!"
"Damn, lost track of time, it's already eleven o'clock. I've got to get to bed." Amanda went into the bathroom and took her daily hypnocil not noticing the once white pills were now blue. She changed into a fresh pair of pajamas and laid down to sleep. She fell asleep quickly, into her own hell. When she opened her eyes she saw Lucius and Voldemort standing over a bound and gagged unconscious Ash. She ran up to free him but was unable to. She stood in horror as her beloved grandfather was murdered before her very eyes. Her voice began to chime in her head. "You did this you had the power to stop this yet you just stood there. You are exactly like your mother and brother. You are pure evil." Amanda awoke crying out "Ashley no... I'm sorry I didn't mean to."
"What's wrong baby?"
"I dreamed you were killed and I did nothing."
"That's not possible you took your hypnocil." Draco chimed in,
"I must be gaining an immunity for it, damn I was afraid that would happen."
"Relax baby. I am fine. I won't stand idly by as someone tries to kill me. Baby just calm down. It will be fine. Trust me."
"Here try this dreamless sleep draught it might help."
"Thank you Draco you may be my only friend."
"I am not friends with you, your grandfather, or any muggle."
"Whatever I know there is more to you than bigotry."
"There really isn't. I am a pure-blood wizard. I am only here because it suits me."
"Whatever you say, we sleep now!"
