Consume The Darkness
Chapter 5
Free Fall
------------------------------
The month of September rolled by without much notice. School work began to pick up and get harder, while students began to slowly get back into routine. The first week of October stayed cloudy and gloomy, and it was no surprise that it rained most of the time.
On one of these rainy days, Hazel was sitting on her windowsill, looking out at the rainy sky. It never ceased to amaze her how Dumbledore had charmed it so the Slytherins could enjoy window watching, as if they were above ground level. Her head was leaned against the cool glass, her green eyes watching as the rain hit the window and slowly rolled down, only to be followed by another drop. She sighed as she looked back down at the letter that she held in her hand. It was the first letter she had received from Tom, and it brought troubling news.
According to the letter, Jensen Tarish and his rounded up followers were hiding in the mountains, and the Death Eaters that were sent to find him have come up empty handed so far. Tom had also told her that Jensen had 2 sons in Hogwarts and another that worked in Hogsmeade. Her objective, was to obviously snuff out two, and get one back to Tom's headquarters as bait.
She heard her door open slowly and she didn't bother to turn around. Only two people had the password to her door and both she trusted immensely. She felt strong hands encircle her waist and drop a kiss on her neck.
"What's got you so moody babe?" Draco asked, concern evident in his voice.
Hazel turned around in his arms and pulled him close to her while she wrapped her legs around him and snuggled deep into his chest. "Orders from Tom...I have 3 jobs to do, and neither will be easy. I first need to get the information, and then I have to execute the plan."
"What's ole snake face got you doing?"
Hazel lifted her head and leaned back against the window. "Hits...I need to bump off 2 sons and render another unconscious so I can get him to the Mansion."
"I'm going with you!" Draco's eyes were filled with concern for her safety and Hazel couldn't stop the laugh from escaping her lips.
"Don't worry about me Dray. I need you to cover for me whenever I do this, if I am to take these guys down, I need to act alone." Hazel pushed away from him and grabbed her dark green cloak. "I have to go and get some information, do me a favor and keep Pansy company."
Draco made a face and Hazel gave him the puppy dog eyes and sauntered over to him. "Please Dray...I'll make it up to you, I promise."
The blonde could never say no to those eyes...really he could never say no to Hazel, but the eyes added an unnegotiable effect. "Fine!"
Hazel smiled and kissed him quickly on the lips. "Thanks. See you later." And without another word she stood up straight, put up her shields, and walked out of the room.
-------------------------------
"I'm not going to listen to this anymore Hermione!" Ron glared at the girl as he tried to focus on the chess game he was playing with his sister.
"But Ron, she obviously has you under some sort of spell!" Hermione protested.
"Listen 'Mione. I spoke to her willingly, all I wanted to do was be her friend, and I guess Draco interpreted that the wrong way, it's obvious that he's head over brooms over her." Ron made a triumphant sound when his queen pummeled one of Ginny's pieces.
"That could make sense...but Ron, she's evil! She was raised by a Death Eater for Merlin's sake!"
"Hermione enough with this! I swear you're obsessed, it's all you've been talking about for the past few weeks, let it go." Ginny said with a frown as she tried to concentrate on the game that she was losing.
Hermione made a noise of frustration and stormed out of the Common Room, going towards the library. "Hey Hermione!" Hermione turned around and rolled her eyes at the 7th year Ravenclaw boy.
"What do you want Tarish?" Hermione said in an annoyed tone.
"I told you to call me Nick." Nicholas Tarish said with a cocky smile as he threw an arm around the bushy-haired teen.
Hermione shook him off and pointed her wand at him. "And I told you to keep your mangy paws off of me! I don't care how good-looking you think you are, but I'm not one of your sluts who willingly takes off their clothes for your sick enjoyment!"
"Ooh I like em feisty!"
Hermione rolled her eyes and stalked away, happy to enter her safe haven(the library).
---------------------
Hazel leaned against the wall, soaking in what she had just witnessed. It seemed that it was going to be easier than she thought. Jensen's son seemed to be quite the womanizer and she knew how to handle men like that. She tucked her wand into it's holster and opened a few buttons on her cloak. She ran her fingers through her hair and pushed away from the wall.
His eyes were on her before she even took three steps into his direction. She could feel his baby blues looking her up and down, soaking in her figure. She expected the arm that shot out and grabbed her wrist, and she forced down every instinct in her body that wanted to lash out at the foolish boy.
"Hey sweet thing...you looking good enough to eat."
Hazel laughed sweetly at him and pushed him back softly. "Sorry but I don't help guys cheat on their girlfriends."
"What girlfriend? I'm a single man." Nick protested.
"Well it seemed like you and Granger was having a little couple spat...I don't want to be a tool for you to use to get her jealous." Hazel walked away, knowing full well that he would follow.
"Baby, you've got this whole thing wrong. Granger is just some girl that I swap class notes with. You on the other hand...I can see us getting real close." He stopped near a classroom and pulled her into it. He slammed the door and pushed her up against it. "You smell so good." He whispered as he grabbed her and situated himself between her legs. She could feel his erection pressing into her and she fought back the urge of breaking it off. He gyrated his hips and let out a groan. "I want to fuck you so bad!"
Hazel focused on her holster so it could release her wand, and when she felt the familiar wood in her hands she pointed it at his throat and smiled as fear flashed in his eyes. "Get off me." She ordered.
Nick backed up and banged into a wall. "Look, I thought you wanted to..."
"Shut up." Hazel smirked. She walked over to him and pushed him into a seat. She pointed her wand at him and black straps wrapped themselves around him, bounding him tight into his chair. She turned to the door and put up locking spells, silencing charms, and a very complex magic concealer charm that would stop anyone from detecting any form of magic she used.
"What the hell! What are you going to do? I didn't do anything to you!" Nick said in a panicked voice. "HELP!!! SOMEONE HELP!!!"
Hazel laughed mockingly at him. "You want to scream? Go ahead, here, I'll help you. HELP DUMBLEDORE HELP!!!" She laughed loudly and pointed her wand at him, giving him a serious look. "No one can hear you, no one will help you. I'm going to kill you Nick, and you have your father to thank."
"My Father?" Nick asked in confusion.
"Don't play stupid! You know all about his plans to try and overthrow Voldemort! I'm sure you was in on it...wasn't you?" Hazel asked as she advanced on the bound boy who kept trying to get out of his binds.
"I didn't know anything!" Nick protested as he wiggled his arms.
"Liar!" Hazel screamed in his face. "Crucio!"
Nick screamed as his back arched deeply and his head was thrown back. His body began convulsing and he began to try harder to release himself from the binds as the pain circulated throughout his body. Hazel laughed gleefully and ended the curse. "Aw, Nick...you've worked up a sweat...already?"
"You bitch! You fucking bitch!" Nick screamed when he caught his breath. He struggled harder with the binds as he tried to hop away from the girl.
Hazel lifted her foot and smashed the heel of her boot into Nick's thigh, causing blood to squirt up into his face. He screamed out in pain and clenched his eyes closed. "Word of advice, the more you struggle, the tighter those binds become." She removed her heel and wiped the blood on his jeans. "Now lets try this again...what the fuck is your father planning?"
Nick cried out and hung his head low. When he picked it back up he spit in her direction. "Fuck you!"
"Penitus Incendio!"
Nick screamed as the curse struck him. He could feel the inside of his body begin to burn and he tried harder to get out of the binds, but the pain was too much. "Ok...ok...stop... stop...I'll tell you!"
Hazel ended the curse. "Go on."
"Promise not to kill me!"
"I promise."
Nick nodded his head and sighed. "His plan was to go to the mountains, and gain some followers. Then he was supposed to go after You-Know-Who."
"What were you supposed to do?"
Nick shook his head. "That information isn't to be told."
Hazel glared at the boy. "You said you would tell me."
"I guess I lied. Now can you get me out of this chair."
Hazel smiled at him and sat on his lap. "What for?" She pointed her wand at the floor and said a quick spell. Thousands of poisonous snakes appeared on the floor and hissed at the bound boy. "Kill him as slowly as possible." She hissed in Parseltoungue.
"You promised that you wouldn't kill me." Nick said in panic as he stared terrified at the snakes that hissed at his feet. He tried to move his fingers that had fallen asleep, until he gave up and tried to life his feet that wouldn't budge.
Hazel let out a laugh and stood from his lap. "And I'm not...they are."
---------------------------
"Draco! What are you doing? Where are we going?" Hazel asked as he held onto the Draco's hands, which were covering her eyes.
"Shh...I want you to see something." Draco said with a laugh as he continued to lead her through the corridors. Hazel didn't say anything and just focused on walking. "Don't worry, I wouldn't let you trip. Trust me."
And she did. She leaned against him and dropped her hands from his arms. They continued to walk and suddenly Draco stopped. "Are we here?"
"No...there are some stairs to go up...I'm going to carry you."
"Ok...don't worry I'll keep my eyes closed."
"No you won't." Draco laughed. He pulled out his silk handkerchief and tied it quickly around her eyes. He was sure that she couldn't see anything and then lifted her in his arms and carried her up the stairs. It felt good to hold her this close to his body and he reveled in the feeling. Finally he put her down. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah." Hazel said with a giggle.
Draco took a deep breath and removed the handkerchief. Hazel gasped and covered her mouth quickly as she looked around the room. They were in the Astronomy Tower, and Draco had transformed it. There were strings of flowers hanging from the ceiling and the floor was transformed to where there was glass across ocean blue water. There was a table for two set up a few feet away near the window where there was a candle and flowers in the center of it. Slow music was playing from a place she couldn't see. She turned around and gave Draco a big hug.
"This is beautiful. Draco I...I don't know what to say."
Draco smiled at her and held out his hand. "May I be so honored, to have this dance?"
Hazel sported a huge smile as she placed her hand in his. "Of course you may." He spun her to the dance floor where their movements were graceful and in-sync. Hazel looked down in wonder as it seemed as if she was dancing on top of water. "What's the occasion Dray?" She asked softly as he twirled her.
"Haze...I love you ok. And I can't keep this locked away, I can't hide it in fear of what Voldemort will do to me. Please understand, that I can't stay away from you. If I was to die because I showed that I love you...cause I spent time with you and showered you with gifts, then so be it. I would die a happy man knowing that I had you for however long it lasted."
Hazel shook her head, refusal on her lips. "Dray, no..."
"Please, listen." Draco interrupted her softly as they continued to dance. "I know how risky this is, but I don't care. We can be together behind prying eyes, I don't mind that. I love you and I know you love me too. Lets just, be teenagers and be reckless. We're always being so critical and planning out each movement...lets just be free. Lets just be spontaneous and do what feels right."
"And let you lose your life?" Hazel said, her eyes shining with tears.
"If Voldemort finds out then let him. He can't stop our love, I won't let him. Please give me a chance, give us a chance."
Hazel was quiet for a few minutes as she let herself be twirled once more. When she returned to his arms, she looked up at him and smiled. "Ok...I love you Draco and I want to be with you. I'll give us a chance."
Draco smiled a genuine smile and dipped her. "You're the only girl for me Hazel." And without another word he swooped down and kissed her lips.
-----------------
"Dumbledore!! Dumbledore!!" Minerva screamed as she raced into his room, looking disheveled and terrified.
"What is it Minerva, I'm in a meeting?" Dumbledore questioned.
James and Severus turned to look over at the Head Mistress as she tried to catch her breath. "Nicholas Jensen has been missing for over a week now."
"I'm aware of that Minerva...you know we are still looking for him."
"Well look no further...we've found him. Me and Flitwick were patrolling before curfew and found the boy in a classroom dead...we are not sure what killed him."
James, Albus, and Severus were rushing out the office before her last few words. "Show us where Minerva." Albus ordered with panic filled eyes.
------------------
Hazel laughed as she tucked a stand behind her ear. They were still in the Astronomy Tower, eating the meal that Draco had ordered from the kitchen. The window blew in crisp ear, but nothing could spoil the night that she and Draco were having. She looked across the table at the blonde and smiled gratefully at him. "Thanks for this...no one has ever done something like this to make me feel special..."
"I'm glad I'm the first. But baby, you are special, and I will do my best to make sure you know that every day." Draco said with a smile. He watched as she took a sip of wine and gave him a half grin. He watched her face as the wind sent a few strands of her hair, blowing about her face. She looked so angelic, and it was hard to believe the coldness that she displayed at times, but he found that attractive as well. They complimented each other well...they both were ruthless when crossed, and they both had pure looks that made people swoon. She was his everything and he would be damned if he let Voldemort snatch her away.
"I really like this song." Hazel replied as another slow song started.
"Do you now? I think that's from a Muggle group."
Hazel gave him a secretive smile. "I've listened to Muggle radio a few times. And I fell in love with this song." She said as she took another sip of her wine before she began singing the song. "Sometimes I want to call ya, but I know you won't be there, ooh, I'm sorry for, blaming you, for everything I just couldn't do, and I've hurt myself by hurting you..." Hazel trailed off as she looked up at Draco. "I'm sorry...I don't usually sing in front of people."
Draco was amazed. He never thought he could fall even more deeply in love with her, but her voice was so beautiful that eh couldn't help it. "There's nothing to be sorry about, you sing beautifully."
Hazel laughed and rolled her eyes. "Sorry if I don't believe you."
Draco pulled her out of his seat and pulled her close to him. "I wouldn't lie to you. Now make Daddy happy and give me a kiss."
Hazel giggled as she kissed his noise. "Oh so you're my Daddy now?"
"You bet your pretty little ass." He said with a coy smile as he connected their lips together in a hot and passionate kiss. Hazel slid her fingers into his blonde locks and lost herself in him. It felt good to feel this much desire for one person in the form of one kiss. Her head was getting all fuzzy and she felt so light headed. His hands touched her exposed hip and she felt blasts of sensations coursing through he body that made her moan in shock and pleasure.
Draco pushed her up against a wall and continued his ministration, hoping to bring more beautiful sounds from her lovely full lips, and he was rewarded with more sounds and noises that sent him up the wall. He trailed his lips to her neck and sucked on it softly causing her mouth to open as she tried to breath. He used his hands to go up her shirt, causing her to shudder against him and pull him closer to her body. He bit down softly on her neck, causing her to wrap her legs around him and began attacking his lips with her own.
Draco grabbed his wand from his back pocket and quickly conjured up a soft couch. He walked backwards until the backs of his knees hit it, and he sat down, taking her with him. Hazel sat on his lap and covered his neck and collar bone with hotly trailed kisses, that made him gasp. He had never felt this way before, and he was trying to soak up every sensation that coursed throughout his body. He tangled his hands in her hair and reattached their lips. She began slowly gyrating on him, which caused his erection to become harder, which was a feat he thought impossible.
"ALL STUDENTS REMAIN IN YOUR COMMON ROOMS!!! ANY STUDENT OUT WANDERING THE CORRIDORS WILL BE PUNISHED IMMENSELY!" Albus Dumbledore's magnified voice declared.
Draco and Hazel had separated as soon as they announcement started, but now they were fixing themselves and banishing the changes to the Astronomy Tower. It took them a few minutes until finally they began to creep back to their dorms.
"What do you think happened?" Draco whispered as they peered around a corner first to see if the coast was clear.
Hazel had an idea and she smirked in the darkness. "I think ole Dumbles finally found Jensen's son."
They made it back to their Common Room without much problems, except for the bump in with Severus, but he just looked past them and continued on as if he didn't see them. Hazel chalked it up to their connections to Voldemort.
"When do you think they'll let us know?" Draco asked.
"I have no idea..." Hazel trailed off.
-------------------------
"A student was found dead in our very school last night...we have no idea what happened, but it seems like he had a heart attack. Classes for the rest of the day will be cancelled in honor of the Ravenclaw..."
Hazel blocked out the rest of what Dumbledore said. She picked up a piece of paper and scribbled two words on it. She placed two fingers on the paper and closed her eyes, going into deep concentration she thought of Tom. After a minute the paper disappeared and she opened her eyes wearily. Using her magic like that didn't usually drain her but since the letter was going such a far distance, there was no way she would be able to hold onto all of her magic. Hazel kept upright, refusing to show any weakness in front of anybody. She took her quill and shoved it back inside of her book bag.
"You're going to bed as soon as the old man shuts his trap." Draco whispered in her ear as he took her hand under the table.
They were an item...in secret of course, but still an item, and the thought of it brought a smile to Hazel's face. She wasn't sure what would happen, but she would be damned if she let Tom hurt Draco in any way. She knew it wouldn't last...but that was something she would deal with when the time came, because for now all she wanted to do was revel in the new feelings that the blonde arose in her.
--------------------
Voldemort was sitting at Breakfast with his Inner Circle, listening to their talk and joining in when necessary. His thoughts was on his fiancé, and how she was holding up at Hogwarts. As he reached for his goblet a note appeared at his side. He opened it and saw two words scribbled in Hazel's handwriting. It's done.
"It seems my fiancé has gotten rid of one of the sons...it will only be a matter of time."
The Death Eaters held up their goblet in a silent toast and a smile made it's way onto his face. His future bride wasn't going soft on him, which squashed his fears. But that still erected more...like the Malfoy boy...he wasn't stupid by any means. He saw how the boy looked at her, and he saw how she looked at him. With reserved infatuation, but he trusted her, if anything happened he wouldn't hold her at fault...the Malfoy boy on the other hand would die slowly by his hand and his alone. His spies that he had in the school weren't being as thorough as they should be...he would need to speak to them about that.
If he found out that Malfoy wasn't keeping his hands to himself...well then the boy would just have to deal with no hands at all.
----------------------
A/N: Was that long enough for you guys??? Sorry about the long wait, and I apologize for any mistakes in this chapter, I didn't have time to Proof read it cause I wanted to get this out quickly, and I have this HUGE headache so...yeah...lol...sorry? Um...the spell that Hazel used on Nick was for his insides/blood to be on fire...it's a very dark spell...also I know some of you have questions on what's going on with the body...well Hazel obviously went back and removed the bounds, the snakes vanished after 3 hours so they were already gone, and of course since she's a master at Dark Arts, the snakes she conjured wouldn't leave evidence behind. Once they disappeared so did whatever bruises or marks they left on their victim. Also the song that Hazel was singing was "Hurt" by Christina Aguilera. Does that clear everything up? Good...thanks for the lovely reviews, and I'm looking forward to the reviews for this chapter! See ya in the next Chapter, Peace!!!
