Chapter 12: True Awakenings

A week had gone by and it was finally time to see what the Death Eaters actually did. Draco wasn't really excited like he thought he would be. He knew that the Death Eaters killed as many squibs and muggleborns but Draco was finally coming to see how the magical world needed them. His year only had about forty kids in it where it should really be about eighty. With the killings of non-magical people and squibs, the numbers were dropping considerable. But he couldn't think about this! He had to get ready for the meeting. Draco had to put his shields up so the Dark Lord wouldn't know his true feelings. Soon the necklace around his neck glowed and Draco knew it was time. He touched the necklace to activate it and muttered, "Activate." Soon, Draco was transported to the Dark Lord.

"Aw Draco, so glad you could make it," Voldemort said and smiled that made Draco a bit scared.

"My Lord," Draco said and bowed to this horrible monster in front of him.

"Once the others arrive we shall go on our missions," Voldemort said and laughed manically.

Soon, the others arrived and Voldemort explained where they were going and what to do. Draco took the time to look around his surroundings. It was a furnished basement and it looked oddly familiar. The Parkinson's basement! Draco rolled his eyes and caught Voldemort saying that someone would have to side apparate Draco. Draco scoffed at that idea. He knew how to apparate.

Finally it was time to depart and a man came to Draco's side. He realized it was his father and he shivered form fright. His father was brutal to him and to low income families which meant everyone.

The sensation of side along apparition came and went and Draco realized that they were at a pureblooded street. He wondered why they were here.

"Malfoy, you get the Bones. Do it as long and painful as possible," Voldemort said.

"My pleasure my Lord," Lucuis said and headed to a house.

Draco was rooted to his spot. The Bones were a powerful family and didn't deserve this. He didn't want any part of this.

"Draco come!" his father yelled at him.

Reluctantly, Draco followed. The wards had fallen and the front door was blasted. A loud siren sounded throughout the house and Draco realized it was a muggle security alarm. He smirked at his father since Draco knew he forgot to put up the anti-apparating wards. Lucuis realized this when he heard some apparate upstairs.

"Shit!" Lucuis yelled and walked outside.

Draco didn't bother getting too close to his father but followed nevertheless. This type of anger was very scary. Lucuis barged into a random house and Draco looked at the pictures. He soon realized that this was where the Finnegan's lived. Draco caught up to his father right in time when he crucio'd the mother.

Soon his father said, "Skeledestructo!" and the woman was dead. Then his father turned to the little child in the corner and said, "Sectumsempra." Blood was soon coming out of the little boy. During all this, Draco watched in horror. His mouth was open in shock. Draco's father just killed an innocent little boy! Draco didn't want any part of this Death Eater business but he knew he had to; for Harry.

"Where do you think you're going Draco?"

"To see what the Dark Lord want me to do sir?" Draco asked hesitantly.

"I saved the father just for you."

Draco looked around and saw the father bound and gagged on the ceiling. Draco starred in horror and quickly got him off the ceiling.

"Could I have some privacy father?"

"There's no need for that Draco. I want to see you kill him."

Draco closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He mouth, I'm sorry to the man before he used the spell his father used. Draco made sure it was quick and the man didn't feel much pain. Draco had made sure he didn't feel anything by a spell he had learned in a book from the school library.

"Very good Draco, the Dark Lord shall be pleased."

Draco followed his father back to the Parkinsons and joined the inner circle. Draco felt sick for killing that man. He refused to do it again.

"Draco come forward," Voldemort said.

Draco stepped forward and bowed. He felt a presence in his mind and gave Voldemort the information he wanted. Draco left out some parts and filled it in with some things the Dark Lord would like.

"I am very pleased Draco but I wish you had followed my orders. It was suppose to be slow and painful. Crucio!"

Draco fell to the floor in agony. He refused to scream. He thought of Sophie's smile. The pain lessened when he thought of her. Sophie's eyes, her hair, her lower back, and how she sashayed. Soon, the spell was lifted.

"Be gone!" the Dark Lord yelled.

Draco port-keyed to the main gates of Hogwarts and walked to the front door. His body was protesting but he knew he could make it. His father had made sure of that. Finally, he made it to Dumbledore's office. Draco had to knock three times until he heard Dumbledore say come in.

"I was wondering when you would be back Mr. Malfoy. How did it go?"

"We were sent to kill the Bones family. They had a muggle security alarm and were able to apparate away. But the Finnegans, Finch-Fletchley's, Boots, Brocklehurt, and Browns were unfortunate. Whoever was home died."

"That is troubling news. I hope you did not have to kill anyone," Dumbledore said and looked at Draco's face fall.

"Actually sir, my father made me kill Mr. Finnegan but I put the Seta spell on him first so he didn't feel any pain. When Voldemort looked at my memory, he didn't suspect anything."

"Well that is good news. Are you alright Mr. Malfoy?"

"I'm just sore and tired, Sir."

"Go to the hospital wing. I will alert Poppy that you are coming."

Draco woke up in the infirmary and stretched his sore limbs. He felt a presence nearby and made sure to be quiet. Draco opened his eyes to see Sophie there, asleep in a chair. He relaxed and took Sophie's hand in his. With that touch Sophie woke up and gave Draco a bone crushing hug.

"I'm so glad you're awake! When I heard you were here I freaked out. Are you okay? Are you not up to going to Hogsmeade with me? I hope-," Sophie was cut off by Draco's lips.

Draco just had to kiss her. Sophie didn't realize it but it was her who kept him going. He needed to feel her body pressed against his. Soon, Sophie was on the bottom with Draco on top of her. He shirt was bunched up and her groans of pleasure made Draco burn with pleasure. Draco's hands felt her bra clasp and he swiftly undid it. There was a louder noise behind Draco that confused him. Why would someone be here-oh, Draco thought and topped suddenly. Sophie breathed heavily and starred in horror at being caught.

"Madam Pomfrey," Draco said.

"I see you are better Mr. Malfoy, you may go," Poppy said with a small smirk.

Sophie's face reddened with embarrassment while she fixed her bra and shirt.

"You naughty boy," Sophie said and bumped into him.

Draco bumped into Sophie and said, "You didn't stop me."

Sophie blushed and Draco laughed. Draco loved this feeling. Being able to be himself around a girl he really liked.

"As for your questions, I am alright but I am a bit hesitant to go into the Great Gall. A lot of people will be getting letter; black letters," Draco said.

Sophie stared in horror. "You didn't kill anyone did you?"

Draco stopped walking and said, "I wish I could say no but I would be lying. I wish I could take it back. I wish I could have stopped Voldemort and his minions but then I would have been unable to tell Dumbledore what had happened. Sophie, I'm a spy for Dumbledore. I had no choice, no options. I had to become one of them," Draco spat out.

He realized he was crying freely and that there were other people then him and Sophie. Draco turned around to see Harry and his friends starring at him in horror and awe.

"You're a spy? Since when?" Ron asked.

"During the summer I joined the Death Munchers but wanted no part in it. My mother contacted Dumbledore and trained me in Occlumency and Legilimency, among other things," Draco explained.

"Why do you think we should believe you?" Ron asked.

"You don't have to but it's the truth. I'd rather die helping the light then dying in front of Moldyshorts," Draco spat out.

"I believe you, you don't have to say anything else," Harry said.

"You-you do? Draco sputtered out; surprised that Harry would be the first to say that.

"I saw you kill Mr. Finnegan but I also know that you didn't want to. I'm glad you finally came to your senses Malfoy," Harry said.

Draco smiled and said, "This doesn't mean that I'll be nice to you, Potter. I have to keep my reputation up."

"I wouldn't have it any other way," Harry said.

"Where to handsome?" Ginny asked with her arm through Harry's.

They were bundled up and walking through Hogsmeade. It was the end of November and snow was already on the ground. Kids were having snow-ball fights while the parents kept an eye on them through the windows.

"How about Zonkos? There are some things I have to pick up," Harry said.

Ginny raised her eyebrow but kept her mouth shut. She knew Hogwarts needed a laugh with all the attacks happening. With Fred and George gone there weren't many pranks which led to no laughter. It was becoming a bit depressing.

"Ready?" Harry said behind Ginny making her shiver in excitement.

Ginny nodded and they walked out the door, hand in hand. Harry didn't know what kind of affect he had on her. Everything about him made Ginny love him even more. She knew that Harry was the one she wanted to be with.

When they neared Zonkos, they heard several screams coming from where they came from. They spun around to see Death Eaters and Trolls. Harry starred in horror as a troll threw a person against a tree and laughed. Something stirred in Harry and a lightening blot struck down around a bunch of Death Eaters.

He looked on in shock and said, "I didn't do that, did I?"

"Sorry to say this but yea and that's not only the weird thing Harry; you're glowing," Ginny said.

"What? How can I be glowing?" Harry asked, bewildered by the idea.

Harry looked at his hands which looked the same but felt different. It felt like his magic was bursting to get out. He pointed his hands at the Trolls and light zoomed at them. Soon, the Trolls were dead and the pandodiuom died down. Even the Death Eaters looked on in terror but before they could apparate Harry sent the same pulsating magic at them. Harry heard crying nearby and found the source lying on a ground with a Death Eater laughing manically. Instead of using his wand, Harry put his palm facing the Death Eater and thought of something nasty. Soon the death eater was shooting blood. The little girl was still crying on the ground and Harry looked around nervously. He could take death eaters but not crying girls.

"Hey it's alright. Um, huh, what's your name?" Harry asked.

"Annalee Croft."

"Wow, that's such a pretty name. My name is Harry Potter," Harry said and looked around. "Where are your parents? I bet they are looking for you."

"I don't know where they are! We got separated," Annalee said and started crying again.

"Um, well, let's find them now," Harry said and wished Ginny was helping him.

Annalee sniffled and said, "Ok."

They stood up and bumped right into Ginny.

"Harry! I was worried sick about where you were. Oh! Hello, I'm Ginny Weasley. What's your name?" Ginny said.

"Annalee Croft."

"Well Annalee, let's go find your parents then," Ginny said and held out her hand.

Annalee took Ginny's hand and they walked towards Zonkos. Ginny would ask people if they saw Annalee's parents but only got nos. They walked towards the dead trolls and death eaters and saw some dead civilians'. Soon, the little girl ran towards a couple and started crying even harder.

"Oh Harry! Poor Annalee, that's her parents!" Ginny cried and Harry enveloped her into a hug.

But Harry couldn't take it anymore and soon lost consciousness with one last thought, no one will be an orphan because of this war.

"He's waking up!" Someone shouted.

Harry wearily got up and looked around. He was in the hospital wing again. He grabbed his glasses just when he felt someone touch his hand softly.

"Hiya Harry," he heard Ginny say.

Harry smiled and said, "Hey Gin. How bad it is this time?"

"Better now that you're awake. You were in a magical coma for a week," Ginny said.

Harry really looked at Ginny and saw that her eyes were red and puffy and looked tired. Her clothes seemed to hang on her thin frame. Harry looked at the chair Ginny came from and saw books and papers scattered around.

"How long have I been in here" Harry asked Ginny.

A week, we didn't know when you would awaken, so I brought all my homework in here. Oh Harry! I was so worried; don't ever do that to me again!" Ginny said and hugged Harry tightly.

"Sorry, I promise not to intentionally land in the hospital wing," Harry said and grinned.

Ginny rolled her eyes and said, "You missed Dumbledore's speech. There's going to be dances and events in the castle instead of Hogsmeade trips and Quidditch."

"That seems to be a good idea. There are too many deaths and it's making me depressed, since I can't help."

"Well maybe there is a way but you haven't figured it out," Ginny said.

AN: Well there is chapter 12. I hope you liked it! Reviews would be helpful since they make me write and feel like someone is reading my story still. Classes and work are still going on so I don't have much time to write but I will try and get the next chapter out in the next month! How about before the end of March?
