I DONT OWN ANYTING(just saying)

Whackspurts?

Draco arrived at the potions class half an hour early. He needed to speak with Severus.

He knocked on his office door and walked in before his Godfather had time to give an answer.

He watched as Severus just motioned for him to sit down. He felt a little uneasy; it was like he had been expecting him.

He sat there for a moment while the older man graded papers.

He watched him for a moment, taking him in. He looked tired. He didn't know what he would do if he had to be the right hand of the Dark Lord.

Finally Draco cleared his throat.

"When am I going to take the mark?"

He watched as his Godfather put down his quill and sat back looking at him carefully.

"I am not sure yet. Why are you so eager?"

Draco looked up at the ceiling he didn't know what to answer.

"I just want to know what to be prepared for. The letter from father said that you will help me with anything I'll need. So since you have nothing for me I will leave now."

With that he got up ready to walk away before he felt his Godfather reach into his mind and view the memories of him and Hermione the night before.

Draco swallowed hard and turned to face his godfather. He may hate Hermione but he didn't want her to die and that is what would happen if the Dark Lord found out about her.

Professor Snape watched Draco's face as he stood there in front of him. So he had found out about the mission and he didn't take it well.

"Draco please stay for a moment. I have something I want to discuss with you."

Draco turned to face him "If it's about the thing with Granger you saw it for yourself she will no longer be a factor in my life."

Severus stood and motioned for his Godson to sit again.

"Now Draco I have something to discuss with you. Please come have a seat, this is very important."

He quickly placed a strong silencing spell on the room along with a locking charm and wards.

Draco looked at him strangely again.

"What I am about to tell you Draco is very serious and very important. I want you to take the Unbreakable Vow. Anything that I'll tell you inside of this office will never be spoken to anyone."

Draco swallowed and held out his hand to his Godfather. He trusted him with his life and he knew if something was important to him it was worth keeping a secret.

After the bond was made Draco sat down and Severus began.

"When I was a student here at Hogwarts I was in love with a girl. I made the biggest mistake of my life letting her go because she was a Muggleborn." He said ashamed with himself. "For being too proud to tell her how I felt."

Draco rolled his eyes.

"I am not in love with Granger."

Severus gave a half smile.

"Fair enough. But you have feelings for her; otherwise it would not have bothered you so much when you found out about the mission. Which I already knew about by the way if that's what you're worried about."

He snickered when he saw Draco's shocked expression at that.

"Actually Albus and I gave her that mission."

Draco sat up straight at this point.

"But…I don't understand you have the Dark Mark. You are a Death Eater."

Severus stood and began to fidget with the ornaments around his office.

"I am a spy for the Order of the Phoenix."

Draco looked confused at that.

"The Order of the Phoenix?" He asked really curious now.

"The Order is a group of witches and wizards that are on the light side. They are the opposition to the Death Eaters. I turned to them when the Dark Lord killed the love of my life Lily Potter."

Draco shook his head and stood pacing the room.

"You are a blood traitor. You…you…"

"I am fighting for what is right and not what some crazy half blood is sprouting about pureblood superiority. It doesn't even make sense." Severus paused and took a deep breath. "Draco please! I just want you to be safe. I want what is best for you." He looked dead serious his Godson . "You know an invitation to join the Order has been extended by Professor Dumbledore himself. He knows just like I do that you don't want to become a Death Eater."

Draco looked at him seriously.

"What's best for me? Are you serious? If I do not take the mark and become a member of the Order I will be disowned. They will hunt me down, torture me and then kill me!" Draco said frustrated. "And for what? To help fight alongside a bunch of people that don't even like me. Saint Potter and Weasley would rather see me dead than fighting alongside them."

Severus sighed. He knew it wouldn't be easy.

"Draco I can see it in your memories. I can see it in your face you don't believe in what Voldemort is doing." This was the first time Draco heard Severus call the you-know-who by his name. "You know very well that this is all a lie. Hermione is a prime example of that. She is the smartest witch of her age. She knows more than most adult wizards twice her age. She is not inferior to you or me." He said in one breath. "Look Draco I just don't want you to make the biggest mistake of your life. Once you are one of them there is no turning back. Trust me I know!"

Severus looked at his Godson with pity. He could see the emotions playing on the boy's face.

"I can't Godfather. I just can't."

With that he walked out of the classroom.

Hermione watched as Draco walked out of the classroom. He gave her a quick glance but kept his face neutral.

She looked at her watch and sighed it was five minutes before class began he was more than likely not coming back.

She sat down and began to get ready for the class pulling out all of her supplies, before Professor Snape called her down to his desk.

He cast a quick muffliato spell around them and cleared his throat.

"I found out about you and Draco last night. I must say I thought you would be able to finish the mission but I guess I was wrong."

Hermione looked down and felt her cheeks turn red.

"I am sorry Professor I know that I failed…."

Professor Snape cut her off.

"I told Draco about me being a spy for the Order."

Hermione looked up quickly.

"But Professor aren't you afraid he will tell?"

Professor Snape shook his head.

"I made him take the Unbreakable Vow. Besides I knew he needed to hear it." Severus sighed. " Look Miss Granger I want you to keep working on him. He cares for you. I can see it." He said looking her straight in the eyes. "And just so you know the Dark Lord has decreed that he will take the Dark Mark soon." He added.

Hermione felt her breath hitch. She couldn't let him become a Death Eater.

"I will do my best professor, but I don't believe he will be speaking with me anytime soon."

Professor Snape nodded and let her go back to her seat.

That night at dinner Hermione could feel his eyes on her, but she didn't return the gesture.

She didn't think she could handle looking into his eyes at this moment she was trying too hard to hold herself together.

She knew she needed to give him some time to let what Professor Snape told him sink in. Maybe they were right maybe he would come around.

The next day Blaise waited patiently outside of the DADA classroom for Ginny.

He couldn't wait to tell her what he had decided.

Finally class let out and Ginny stepped out with Luna Lovegood.

Both girls smiled brightly at Blaise when he cleared his throat to get their attention.

"Hello Blaise what do we owe this wonderful honor?"

Blaise gave Ginny a half smile.

"Luna do you mind if I steal Ginny for a moment? I have something important to discuss with her."

Luna gave Blaise a dreamy smile.

"Not at all Blaise. Actually I believe it would be very beneficial if Ginny went with you. You seem to have a lot of Wrackspurts flying around you and they don't like red hair. She can fend them off for a while."

Blaise gave a snort before Ginny smacked him in the stomach taking his hand and pulling him away.

Finally they reached the room of requirements.

When they stepped inside Ginny did not waste a minute.

"So what did you decide?"

Blaise looked down into Ginny's eyes and everything fell into place. All the anxiety and fear that he had been feeling about the decision he had made, melted away looking into her face.

He could really see himself loving this woman for the rest of his life. He knew that he would do anything for her and if keeping her safe meant turning his back on his family and joining the light side this is what he was going to do.

He wrapped his arms around Ginny pulling her into a tender hug.

"I chose you Ginny. I don't think I will be able to live with myself if something will happen to you and I'm not there. I love you Ginerva Weasley."

Ginny felt the tears prick at her eyes. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"I love you too Blaise."

She stood on her tip toes capturing his lips. Suddenly a bed appeared beside of them and Blaise gave Ginny a very Slytherin smirk.

"Ginerva Weasley you naughty little Gryffindor."

Ginny smiled back wickedly.

"What? I just want to reward you for making the right decision."

Draco once again found himself pacing and this time he had no one to vent to.

Where the hell was Blaise anyways?

He couldn't believe what he had just heard his godfather was a spy. The one person he thought that would always be honest with him had lied to him his entire life.

He felt betrayed he felt…Torn.

His godfather was the most logical and noble man he knew. If he was fighting for the light side then maybe…..No stop it! Draco you're a pureblood. You've come from a long line of powerful wizards, just think of what you would lose if you switch sides. A voice inside his head whispered.

Draco lay back on his bed in his shared dorm room with Blaise and closed his eyes only to have his mind assaulted with images of Granger…Of Hermione and the look of hurt that had been on her face the last few days. God how he wanted to fix it, to make it go away but he couldn't.

He was going to take the Dark Mark. He couldn't give up his inheritance; he couldn't give up his safety. At least he knew where he belonged, with the Death Eaters. At least he knew that he would be set if the Dark Lord won the war. So what if he never saw Granger again right?

The last thought he had before falling asleep was what would happen if he had to face her on the battle field? Would he be able to kill her? Would he even be able to hurt her?

Hermione sat in the library looking up everything about the Goblin War for her History of Magic essay when Ron and Harry sat down in front of her.

She looked up from her books.

"What do I owe this pleasure boys?"

Harry cleared his throat and looked at Ron a little uncomfortably.

"We've come to apologize."

Sooooo what did ya think? Good, Bad, Horrible? Love you guys your the awsomest.
