Scarlett's POV
I had been at Hogwarts for several weeks now, and become very good friends with Draco Malfoy, he might seem like a ass hole a lot but, on the inside he was hurting, he would never tell me why, he always said something along the lines of," I have to do it, he will kill me if I don't." I never knew exactly what to say, so I just patted his shoulder and told him it would be okay.
"Well, enough about my problems." Draco said in the Library," Lets go out tonight." He said.
"And do what?" I asked.
"Go out somewhere nice?" He said.
"Alright." I said," and where do you suggest we go too?" I asked.
"The Hogshead love, at 9." He said, then he helped me up and walked away.
As he was walking away I heard someone from me say," Date with Draco tonight hmm?" I turned to see Pansy Parkinson standing behind me, her arms crossed and looking angry. She seems to think Draco is in love with her, when he truly cant stand her. He even said," Pansy is willing to spread her legs anytime I need her to, and I'm a man, I have needs."
I snapped back to reality and looked back at the girl.
"Oh no, its not a date. I assure you." I said.
"It better not be, just because your.. pretty, does not mean you have the right to take anyone's boyfriend my the drop of a hat!" She said, sounding angry now.
"Listen, you have no right to be a downright bitch." I snapped back," I had no intentions of steeling your precious Draco from you, so get off your high horse." I said.
She walked very close to my face and whispered," I would watch your back if I were you King." She must have been attempting to sound scary, but she did not faze me one bit.
"That was a pretty pathetic attempt of a threat Pansy." I said, just messing with her mind.
"Oh that was not a threat King, that was a promise." She hissed, then walked off.
I stood there for a moment, thinking about what just happened. Then I shrugged my shoulders, and went on about my merry way.
"Miss Dawson., I mean Miss King." Professor Slughorn said.
"Yes professor?" I said.
"Please come in my office, we need to have a uh talk." He said, sounding very nervous.
"Of course Professor." I said, walking into his office.
"Oh, sit down please." He said, offering his chair to me, I sat down and looked at my shoes, not having the slightest idea why I was here.
"Miss King, now stay with me, this may sound odd. But do you remember memories that you don't feel were yours?" He asked me, I had to think for a minute. Then I remembered the dreams I used to have. About the girl that looked like me, but was not me.
"Yes." I said.
"That's what I thought, oh you poor girl, your are in danger. You need to leave the premises immediately." He said, I looked at him, very confused if I might add. He gave me a sympathetic look, then grabbed my hand.
"Your not safe here Scarlett." He said. I looked at the older man, and just shook my head.
"How am I..?" And before I could finish, Dumbledore came in and interjected our conversation.
"Horace." Dumbledore said harshly.
"Albus, I was only trying to.." He said before Dumbledore cut him off.
"Its fate Horace, we cannot change fate." He said, looking me dead in the eye.
"Come on Miss King." Dumbledore said, helping me up and leading me out of Slughorn's office.
"Miss King." Dumbledore said," Please go back to your dormitories, you have the day off." He said.
I walked up to my dorm and laid down. I thought about what Slughorn had said. Then I fell asleep.
I did not have a dream this time, which I found odd. Then I woke myself up by falling off the bed, which I did often.
I glanced at my clock, it was already eight." I probably should start getting ready." I thought to myself.
I got in the shower, I washed my long hair, and my body. And got out.
I wrapped a towel around myself and went to pick out an outfit. Draco had said we were going somewhere nice. So I picked out a little red dress, I loved this dress because it made me have curves in all the right places.
I used a drying spell on my hair, then right after that, used a charm to make my curls more spiral. I lightly sprayed on some perfume, and put on some black heels, and left.
I walked out of the castle, and met immediately saw Draco standing there.
"Wow, you look beautiful, as always." He said smiling.
"Thanks, you look nice yourself." I said.
" I try. Shall we get going?" He asked, linking his arm with mine, and we continued to walk. We went on a back road of some sort.
"Draco where are we.." I said before he put his finger to my lips.
"Its better if you don't talk." He said, looking away. I was really confused, but I thought nothing of it. Then the carriage stopped in the middle of nowhere.
"Scarlett, I am truly sorry about this." He said, giving me a sympathetic look, then I felt someone yank me out of the carriage and knock me on the ground, I looked up to see Draco's father Lucius Malfoy standing over me.
"Such a pity this girl might.. Never see the light of day again." He said. I felt the hot tears come sprinting out of my eyes.
"Well done Draco." Said Lucius, Draco just looked at the ground.
"I trusted you Draco!" I screamed, then Lucius grabbed my by the back of the hair.
"You my dear, are not only going to be my saving grace, but many others as well." He said, I just glared at him, and spit in his face.
" , Tsk." He said, "That was very naughty Victoria." He said, I looked continued to glare at him.
"My name is Scarlett." I said, then he mocked me.
"No my dear, to the dark lord you are Victoria." He said, then smiled. I felt like I was going to be sick, I had heard about the dark lord, the horrible things he had done to defenseless and innocent people because of there blood status.
"You sick fuck." I snarled, and then he slowly walked back over to me, and slapped me very hard in the face.
"Maybe after the dark lords done with you, I might claim you as my own personal whore." He said with a evil smirk.
"You keep thinking that, you sadistic bastard." I screamed, then he picked up, and threw me over his shoulder, I screamed as loud as I could.
"You foolish girl!" He yelled, then laughed," Do you not realize that no one can hear you?" As soon as he said that he threw me into another carriage, and took my wand away.
I felt light headed, my face hurt from where he had hit me earlier, I lightly touched it, then began to cry again.. I just wanted to go home. I looked up to see that we had pulled up to the gates of the largest mansion I had ever seen.
"You like it?" Lucius said, I just glared at him.
"Your disgusting." I snarled at him, he pretended to be hurt.
As soon as we came to a stop, he pulled me out of the carriage and pulled me by the hair into what I was only assuming was his home.
"Narsissa." He said to a beautiful small blonde woman, who gave me a sympathetic look. I actually felt really safe when she was around.
"Go tell the dark lord our.. Guest of honor has arrived." He said, she glared at him, then looked at me again, and gave me a sad look.
After a minute of standing there, I heard the woman say," Bring her here Lucius."
He very forcefully pushed me through his house and met the woman at the bottom of the stairs, he practically threw me into her arms.
As soon as he left, she pulled my face up to look at hers.
"Are you alright dear? she asked, genially concerned. I just felt hot tears come running down my face again.
"My gods, you poor child." She said, pulling me into a hug.
"If… he hurts you, please come and tell me." She said, and gently took my hand and led me up the stairs. Then Lucius was standing there, and once again, forcefully grabbed me from Narsissa, and started taking me down the hall. I could hear Narsissa say," Be gentle Lucius, she is just a child!."
I looked back, and gave her a weak smile and turned my head to hear Lucius Malfoy banging on someones door.
I heard the door slowly open only to see something I would never had expected to see, and he had the same reaction that I did, just without the screaming, his face was terrifying, but also made me very calm at the same time. I felt so light headed, then the world faded out, and all I saw was darkness.
