Chapter 2
The next day I got up to go to class. I was no longer allowed to wear my house colors. No one was allowed to. Only the Slytherins were allowed. I didn't have any classes with Ginny and Luna since they were a year younger than me, and Mel had one class with me while Neville had three. We were all basically separated when we had classes together but when we weren't in class we would try to stay as close to each other as we possibly could.
I first went to the Great Hall for some breakfast. There I met up with Mel. She came skipping down the hall and sat next to me with that smile on her face.
"Good Morning!" she said.
"What's so good about it?" I asked.
"I always try to look on the bright side or else there'd be no hope in this world."
The things this girl would say. Always cheery and yet annoying. Still she did bring some light into my world. At least she thinks positive. Later on Neville came and sat next to us.
"Lydia, Mel, I have to tell you something," whispered Neville. "Hey Lydia, you're Head Girl again!" he said while looking at my badge.
"Uh yeah. I'm Head Girl."
"That's great! At least we'll have some superiority around here with the student body," he said.
"I don't know how much help I can be. I don't think anyone will actually listen to me."
"Well, listen, what I wanted to tell you two is that Ginny, Luna, and I are going to meet in the deserted girl's bathroom tonight. I have something planned and I want you guys to join!"
"I'm in! What about you Lydia?" asked Mel.
"Well what are we going to do?"
"Just something to help rebuild the D.A."
"You mean Dumbledore's Army?!"
"Yeah, you in?"
After a few moments of thinking, I told him yes. I remembered telling myself before the school year even started that I was going to do something to make sure Voldemort falls and if rebuilding the D.A. was going to help then of course I would join.
When I stepped into Muggle Studies on the first day I found out we had a new teacher by the name of Alecto Carrow. She basically taught us nothing except how Muggles are nothing but filthy creatures, and those who carry their blood are just as disgusting as them. I personally had no Muggle blood in me since my mother came from a Pure Blooded family, and my father was a demon so I guess maybe I'm a half breed. I would rather be a Muggle born or be half Muggle than carry the blood of a demon any day.
So listening to this woman preach how humiliatingly filthy these people were just made me want to stand up and slap the bitch myself. Her brother Amycus Carrow was our new Dark Arts teacher. In Dark Arts it was our job to think like a Death Eater and to basically learn Dark Magic. Being the way I am and the daughter of a demon I had already mastered the Dark Arts. I felt that for me it was only natural to want to learn about darkness and evil. With an understanding of it then I'd know of where evil comes from and what kind of evil I might bring into the world if I ever chose to do such things. Still it was complete madness to even teach the Dark Arts to students! Those who refused to want to learn were tortured. They would have the Cruciatus curse cast upon them so everyone was forced to obey.
The only thing that kept me going that day was the thought of Neville and his plan. I kept wondering what we were going to do. Later that night I met up with them in the girl's bathroom.
"Good you made it! Where's Mel?" asked Neville.
"Right here," she said as she ran into the bathroom.
"Okay everyone is here, so what is this brilliant plan of yours, Neville?" asked Luna.
"Well we all know that we need recruits, right?"
"Yeah, but how are we going to get any?"
"With these!" said Neville as he pulled out some spray paint. "We're going to write on the school walls saying that we're recruiting."
"That's brilliant!"
"But we have to make sure that we don't get caught, okay. Just spread out around the school. Make sure you're somewhere safe near your own house. Once you're done just go back to your house for the night," said Ginny.
So Neville gave us all a spray can and we ran off. Once I was finished I made it back to the dorm at the same time as Luna. We went off to sleep only hoping that the others weren't caught.
The next morning the Carrows were seriously pissed. I actually got through the day with them. It was like that for the next few days. We would sneak out at night and put graffiti on the walls saying that we were recruiting. We ended up getting Seamus, and the Patil twins to rejoin.
One day while Neville and I were in our Dark Arts class, Carrow came out with a fourth year boy, and threw him in a chair. He told us all to line up.
"Class, lets have a little fun today," he said while we all got in line.
I was somewhere in the middle but I could see what the boy's face looked like. He was crying and looked like he had a busted lip.
"I want to see everyone in this classroom perform the Cruciatus Curse on this boy," he said with an evil grin on his face.
Before I even had a chance to blink, Crabbe, who was at the front of the line, shouted Crucio at the boy! I watched in horror as the boy started screaming on the floor! Immediately I felt anger rising within me. I felt different, like I wanted to kill someone. Like I became a Dementor or something!
Everything in the classroom seemed to get darker, more then it already was, as I looked towards Crabbe. When my eyes hit him, Crabbe was brought into the air and thrown against a wall. The anger quickly vanished along with the darkness that once filled the room as soon as I heard Carrow call after me.
"Avalon! What the hell are you doing?!" he screamed.
"What kind of lesson is this?!" I screamed as I walked over to the boy to help him. "Torturing a boy is just plain wicked!"
"Well than, why don't you just take his place?"
"I will!" I screamed but all of a sudden Draco came between us.
"Amycus! Leave her alone!" said Draco. "Under the orders of the Headmaster, Heads are not to be touched."
"Know this Malfoy, I only answer to the Dark Lord," said Carrow as he backed off.
"Well, Headmaster Snape answers directly to the Dark Lord, so you'd do well to remember that!" said Draco helping me pick up the boy.
"Let's take him to the hospital wing," he said as we exited the classroom.
Once we were there and told Madam Pomfrey what happened she said that she would take care of things. As I left Draco followed close behind me.
"So you're still going to ignore me," he said.
How could he even ask me that? Of course I was going to ignore him!
"That was some display of power back there," he said as his voice seemed to get low.
"What do you want?" I said as I turned around to face him.
"Nothing, I'm just trying to talk to you."
"How can you even talk to me? After what you did!"
"Because I know you still love me," he said as he started stepping closer and closer to me.
"I don't love you! I hate you!" I screamed as I was backing up.
"You hate me."
"Yes, I hate you!"
"How much?!" he asked. "So much that you can do to me what you did to Crabbe?!"
"I…I could kill you!" I screamed back at him not realizing that he trapped me between himself and the wall.
"Then do it."
I stared up at him feeling so scared. Why would I say that to him?! I could never kill him! I could never kill another human being! I felt so scared of him that I began to cry.
"Why are you crying?!" he asked.
I had many reasons to cry. I mean he lied to me, broke my heart, and now is acting like last year never happened and has me cornered. I had every right reason to feel like crap and to cry!
"Look, I'm not trying to hurt you."
"Well it's too late for that!"
"Just listen to me! Please, look I know you still care for me!"
"I don't!"
"Everything I did last year, I'm sorry for! But it was all for you!"
"Just leave me alone!" I screamed back at him. "I don't care what you have to say! And the reason I'm not going to kill you is because I refuse to be a murderer!"
He quickly pressed his lips to mine forcefully. I couldn't take it, being with him like this so I slapped him and ran off.
"Just leave me alone!!!" I said as I turned back to look at him. "I don't ever want to speak to you again! I hate you!"
I just left him there as I went to get my things back in to classroom. I couldn't take my mind off of him. Why would he say that everything he did last year was for me? I didn't understand so I decided to just put that whole meaningless conversation in the back of my mind along with the kiss he gave me. When I got my things and left, I never realized that someone had watched the whole conversation that Draco and I just had.
Draco's POV…
That first night we returned and I saw her, she seemed so sad. So disappointed. I couldn't take it. I told her that it was for her, but I didn't have the chance to tell her the rest. That it was because I wanted to make sure that she would be safe, and not harmed by the Dark Lord. But she won't listen. She doesn't even want to talk to me.
In the end I was punished. My mother and father both harbor the Dark Lord at the Manor. He's keeping an eye on them. He basically has taken over.
It's been pretty tough. I haven't felt so shitty in my entire life. Having to play it off that I don't care about what I did last year around everyone. I can't afford to have the Carrows know that I care and that I have feelings for Lydia, even though that whole conversation I just had with her pretty much says I do. If they found out, they could just use her against me.
That day when I held her hand to my face felt like we had just made love. She doesn't know, but every time after we had made love I would do just that. Hold her hand to me and kiss it. She would be the first to fall asleep so I simply wanted to just feel her.
So many nights together came pouring through my head as I just watched her run away. Memories of Lydia lying on her back and me above her came to mind. I missed her beautiful, creamy, soft skin against mine. Her raven-black hair, flared out against the pillow. Her moans and saying my name over and over again in pleasure. Oh Merlin, how I miss her so.
I'll keep my distance from her while still looking out for her at the same time. I'll make sure nothing happens to Lydia.
