Chapter Four: 3rd person ( watch?v=bxV-OOIamyk&feature=player_detailpage)

A/N I like this song, not sure if it goes with this story at all but I like it. The song is 'The Fighter' and it is by 'Gym Class Heroes.' Hope you enjoy listening to it as well... anyways on with the story.

NOTE: This entire chapter will be IN 3RD PERSON'S POV. Thank you. I don't know if it will work so please comment. This is something that I don't normally do, but I wanted to try something different. This way I can write and express the feelings of all characters and not just the ones who's POV I am writing from. This chapter also jumps all over the place from one hour to the next. However, it only spans over two days.

Alisa lay in her bed after dinner with the 'Golden Trio.'

She had learnt a lot about the group over dinner. She couldn't sleep know though, since she left the Great Hall something else was on her mind. Or dare I say that someone was on her mind, a certain blond hair and gray eyed boy who has way too many emotions boiling up inside. Alisa can see this and she wants to help him, but she is unsure how. So, there Alisa was laying with way too much on her mind to allow her a peaceful sleep.

Draco was pacing the halls hoping for an answer as to how he would fix the vanishing cabinet. Draco stopped pacing, ran his hands over his face and sighed.

'I'll never figure this out, He will kill my family. I can't let this happen.'

Draco sunk down against the wall, tears falling down his eyes. He was broken. His whole life he had been told not to show emotion, and now he was feeling so many different emotions. He didn't even know what to call all these emotions, especially not the ones that included Alisa. Draco was falling fast for Alisa; however he was still unaware of these feelings. He continued to sit against the wall, his body exhausted as well as his mind.

In the Gryffindor common room sat Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Once again, discussing what Draco was up to.

Harry frowned, 'I know he is a Death Eater. I just need to be able to prove it.'

Hermione looked at Harry in shock, 'Not this again, Harry. We've been over this, why would Vold-d-e-mort want him as a Death Eater.'

Ron nodded in agreement, 'Yah, he's not overly bright is he? So, once again why would He want Malfoy as a Death Eater?'

Ron spat the names out thoroughly disgusted by them. Harry leaned back in his chair, the fire light gleaming on his face.

'We've been over this Ron, Voldemort needs an inside man. Sure, Malfoy might not be the smartest but he is on the inside. He can gather information for Voldemort.' Ron nodded and took this in.

'Well, until you can come up with something better I am going to bed. I have a lot of studying that I need to do tomorrow. Goodnight boys.' And with that Hermione left the boys to discuss their plans and the crazy ideas running through their brains.

Alisa felt compelled to walk through the castle corridors, even though it was way past the curfew. She only hoped she didn't get caught.

Alisa paced around the floors, only to stop on the seventh floor when she heard someone. She heard someone crying, she was sure of it.

As she rounded the corridor she spotted a figure leaning against the wall. She stopped to make sure it was who she thought it was.

Though there was no mistaking that blond hair, now messy instead of sleeked back. She saw tears pouring out of his grey eyes, almost silver in the lighting. He looked broken, and torn inside and out. She was unsure of how to help him, if she could.

She let out a shocked gasp as his eyes met hers. As their eyes looked, Draco picked himself up off the floor and walked down the corridor towards her. Alisa, to Draco's surprise, didn't move for she was too shocked by looking at the boy who now stood in front of her.

Draco lifted his hand towards her face, and frowned. Alisa was still shocked by how close Draco was to her. Draco let his hand gently caress Alisa's face as his lips brushed hers. Tingles spread between the two of them. That was until Alisa pulled away.

'Why does it feel like that every time you touch me?'

Draco just shook his head, 'No clue. But it feels right.'

With that he kissed her lips again. If anyone where to look at the two know it would seem as though they were a happy couple. What they wouldn't be capable of seeing would be the heartbreak and challenges these two would eventually have to face. But for now they seemed content to just let that moment last for as long as it could.

Draco and Alisa had spent most of the night kissing and watching the stars.

Alisa could sense that Draco didn't want to acknowledge the fact that he was crying, let alone talk about it so she left it as an untouched subject.

Draco was happy for this because he was taught not to show his emotions and he was embarrassed that she had seen him crying. Draco was now sitting across the table from his sister. Hydrae knew there was something different about her brother, she could tell by the grin on his face as he looked over at Alisa.

'What's going on between you two?'

Draco looked back at his sister, 'What do you mean, nothing is going on. You know she isn't a pureblood, why would something be going on between us?'

Hydrae laughed at her brother's stupid reaction. He should've known better than anyone that she could see through his act.

'I know you and you've been a doom-and-gloom the past couple months before school and this first couple days of school. So, what's going on?'

Draco laughed at his sister and tried to deny it again, 'Nothing is going on so just give it up okay.'

Hydrae frowned, her brother never and I repeat never snapped at her. He was always nice and caring to her, the ideal older brother. 'Okay I don't know what is wrong with you right know, but until you get your act fixed I don't want to talk to you.'

And with that Hydrae stormed out of the Great Hall. Draco sat at the table frowning, he wasn't sure what he had done wrong. It didn't occur to Draco that he had snapped at his sister. It was something he never did, so he didn't even think it possible.

Alisa sat on the other end of the Slytherin table, watching the brother and sister feud. They were unaware of her watchful gaze taking in every aspect of their conversation. Alisa felt the need to protect Hydrae when Draco snapped at her. She also felt the need to protect Draco from whatever it was that was hurting him.

She felt as though her heart had been torn into pieces giving one to each of the people she learned to care about. She knew it was dangerous to give away so much of her heart to so many but she felt attached to all of them in some sort of way. The two new pieces now rested with Draco and Hydrae, and Alisa wouldn't have it any other way. Alisa watched as Hydrae stormed out of the Great Hall.

She could see that Hydrae was screening her emotions, much in the same way Draco did. Her face became emotionless and her feet carried her in an automatic motion towards the doors. Alisa picked herself up from the bench and followed after Hydrae. She only stopped at the doors to give Draco a look, telling him that she would make sure she was fine.

As she scanned Draco's face before leaving, she realized that he had started to screen his feelings and emotions as well. Those two were more similar than they realized and Alisa was having a hard time deciding whether it was a good thing or not.

Alisa caught up to Hydrae in the girls' bathroom. She watched as Hydrae finally let out her emotions, tears were streaming down her face in a steady flow. 'You know holding in your emotions does you no good. Trust me, Hydrae, I would know.'

Hydrae nods slightly, 'I just don't know what else to do, and I've only ever hidden my feelings. I mean my parents never got mad at me for showing my emotions, like they did my brother. However, I still feel as though I need to live up to their standards.' Alisa nods and walks over; wrapping her arms around Hydrae she lets her cry out all her emotions.

Alisa and Hydrae sat in the sixth year girls' Slytherin dormitory.

'Your brother,' Alisa addresses Hydrae, 'He looks as though he is in pain, all the time.'

Hydrae nods, 'I know, but nothing I do will help. He's better you know, when he is around you. He doesn't seem to notice though.'

Alisa frowns, 'I don't even think I can manage to figure out what he is thinking half the time. I can't read his emotions, just like I can't read yours. It's like you guys never let your guards down.'

Hydrae laughs at this, 'That is because we don't - let our guards down that is.'

Alisa nods, zoning out and taking all of this in. She could feel her heart reaching out again, with the intent to protect these two siblings. The funny thing was that she felt more protective over these two than her 'twin.' She felt more connected to them, to Slytherin. She almost felt different here, in Hogwarts. Alisa nodded a goodbye to Hydrae before walking out of the dorm.

Harry found Alisa using the Marauder's Map. As soon as she exited the Slytherin dorms and common room he approached her.

'Alisa,' Harry whispered, making her jump.

'Bloody Hell,' she turns to glare at Harry.

Harry laughs, 'I thought you were an American not a British. Guess you proved me wrong.'

Alisa laughs as well. 'It's not my fault some of your guy's sayings are catchy, is it?'

Harry shakes his head still laughing slightly.

'So you,' Alisa says, 'a Gryffindor out of his dorm at this time; I am so shocked!'

Harry frowns, 'we aren't all well behaved,' his expression then turns serious.

Alisa stifles another laugh, sensing that Harry was there for a reason. She nods to him to explain, while leaning against the wall opposite of Harry. 'I said before that you needed to know something about Draco.'

Alisa nodded to him, telling him to continue as he had paused. 'He's a Death Eater Alisa, I'm serious. You need to stay away from him, and his sister.'

Alisa frowns, 'I'll take that into consideration. Thank you Harry, have a good night.'

Harry looks as though something clicked in his brain.

'Alisa you weren't by any chance with Draco the other night?'

Alisa nods, 'Yes. Yes, I was. And I am about to go see him again.'

Alisa confessed the last bit, thinking that it didn't matter since he would guess on his own anyways.

'Don't,' Harry tells her, 'Stay away from him. I can't lose you too.'

Alisa shakes her head, 'I'm so sorry Harry. But I can't do what you ask of me.' And with that, Alisa walked down the corridor blending into the shadows.

Alisa found Draco once again alone in a corridor on the seventh floor. He had just come out of the Room of Requirement, and spotted Alisa standing across from him. Alisa had her arms across her chest and a guarded look on her face. Draco stepped towards her, raising his hand to touch her face. But, Alisa stepped back away from Draco.

'Draco, I'm sorry to have to ask this. I should trust you, but I need to know.'

Draco saw the pained look on her face as she said this. He knew she didn't like to doubt people, but Draco also knew that he deserved to be doubted. He hung his head as the following words were forced from her mouth: 'Draco, are you a Death Eater?'

Draco didn't say anything, which was enough of an answer for Alisa. She stepped towards him and noticed how he flinched as though he was afraid of what her actions would be. Alisa pulled up Draco's left sleeve, and there brandished in his skin forever on his forearm was a death mark. She looked Draco in the eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks.

'Why,' was all she asked, though she was certain she already knew the answer.

'I didn't have a choice. It was my father's not mine. I did it to protect my sister and mom, from my dad and from Voldemort.'

Alisa backs away from Draco more tears in her eyes. 'Does your sister know?'

There was a long pause of silence between the two before Draco responded to her question. It was a one word answer and shouldn't have affected them both as much as it did.

He answered with, 'No.'

This fact caused him to feel bad, and he didn't want to keep secrets from the people that he cared for. However, he knew that they were safer not knowing. He also knew that no matter what he did, there was no way he could ever protect Alisa. Though he really wanted to protect her, the Dark Lord also wanted her by his side. And, Draco had learned that when he wanted something it was damn near impossible to keep it from him.

'You're in danger Alisa,' he told her, emotion coating his words. 'He wants you for some reason and I can't stop him, no matter how much I want to.'

Alisa stood there thinking through her thoughts, since they were running around her mind with no destination.

'Alisa,' Draco asked being cautious, still unsure what her actions would be.

Alisa, instead of lashing out at him or screaming, took comfort in his being there. She walked into Draco's chest, wrapping her arms around his waist. She continued to think as Draco's arms wrapped around her waist. She had decided that it didn't matter how much danger she was in, this was always where she would strive to be, right in Draco Malfoy's arms.
