A/N: I don't own Harry Potter, deal with it and don't sue!
Chapter 3
Nightmares? Dreams? Or Legimency?
Draco sleepily lied down on the guest bed with a full stomach and just stopped to think. He had never had such a delicious meal before. Sure, he had feasts in Malfoy Manor but they were made by slaves, house-elves. It just seemed tastier if it was home cooked. "Wait, what am I thinking? For Pete's sake why am I thinking about food? I should be focusing on my mission, oh yeah, my mission. I have to…you know, Granger has been really nice lately, I didn't think she would let me in," thought Draco, letting his mind wander from his mission once more. But it was true about Hermione. She had decided to straighten her hair and buy a new, cooler wardrobe. The change seemed to have given her more self-confidence and she was much more cheerful. She seemed almost normal. Draco lied back down and slowly drifted into sleep…
"Remember what you are here for, remember your Dark Lord, remember your life is at stake," a gentle but cruel voice said that sent shivers down Draco's spine. His current dreams began to swirl and dissolve, leaving nothing but darkness, then a scene showed up before him. The three Grangers were cowering against the corner of his guestroom with Hermione staring their attacker straight in the eyes. She was wandless, but her attacker sure wasn't. The attacker whispered "Avada Kadavra" and a jet of green light flew out. All three Grangers fell to the ground lifeless. Draco froze as he watched in horror. It seemed he was seeing this scene from an onlooker. However when the attacker turned around to face him he saw who it was. It was himself…or was it? At first it seemed that it was him but then he looked closer. That was the old Muggle hater Draco Malfoy, not him now, but then the attacker changed. There before him was his father, Lucius Malfoy, the attacker once again changed and standing before him was the Dark Lord himself. For some reason the spirits of all those Lucius and Voldemort killed circled around him. Mr. and Mrs. Potter, the Grangers, Cedric Diggory, Frank, and many, many others were all there. They all bared extremely depressed faces and then they too disappeared. Draco was now standing in a dark room with Voldemort and Lucius standing before him. They were talking about him, but he couldn't hear what they were saying. Then the scene once again changed and Draco was a baby again. He was in his cradle and his father was whipping him telling him stories of Death Eaters and what he expected of him. Not your normal bedtime story, that's for sure. Draco then saw before his eyes himself growing up, Lucius abusing him all of the way. Maybe the reason Granger believed his fear to let him in is because the fear was real. The scene changed for the last time and Draco was in a cemetery. He was standing before a grave that read:
Here lies a talented young witch by the name of Hermione Granger, her life was short but her love was strong, too bad her love didn't save her against Draco Malfoy.
(1989-2006)
R.I.P.
There were roses by the grave and it seemed many people visited it, then something else caught Draco's eye; a lump far back of the cemetery. He walked over and cleared the dirt off of the grave to read what it said.
Here lies Draco Malfoy. Well known murderer and Death Eater who followed in his father's footsteps. He was supposed to be murdered by He-Who-Must-Not-Named himself, but he committed suicide before He-Who-Must-Not-Named had the chance.(1989-2010)
Draco noticed that on his gravestone there was no R.I.P. Enough was enough, Draco had to wake up. This was by far the worst nightmare he ever had. Wait, was it a dream or a nightmare? Maybe it was… oh no, it was. It was Legimency. The Dark Lord was using Legimency to convince him it was the right thing to do. That he should be honored to follow his father's footsteps and a Death Eater. That explains the cold voice at the beginning of it. But why would he show him the grave? "Maybe I wasn't meant to see it," thought Draco. Well, what ever the Dark Lord's intentions were, it had the opposite effect on Draco. "I can't let that happen, I will fight against him! I will take the job Snape was supposed to have, but I'll actually do it. I'll be a spy for the Order!"
There was no way Draco could go back to sleep now, so he spent the rest of the night planning, not for killing the Granger residence as the Dark Lord asked, but how to kill the Dark Lord. Well help kill him anyway, only Potter could fully kill him. "Oh great! I forgot…Potter." How will he ever convince Potter he was good now, maybe he could start with Hermione, but seriously, why Potter! Although they were on the same side now, did he really have to be-friend Potty? The thick bloke annoyed the bloody hell out of him!
"Just remember, I'm doing it for Granger…" said Draco aloud; trying to build up will power for the task he just planned for himself.
