Chapter 19
Zabrina still walked alone, with the Golden Trio, or even with Fred and George. She smiled sometimes, and laughed at their jokes, but she wasn't happy. She was glad that Draco was finally talking to her, but she was still missing another piece.
"Professor Snape?"
"Yes?"
"Why are you on Professor Dumbledore's side?"
"I believe that is classified information."
"It's not like I'll tell anyone, and no one can read my mind."
"It is still none of your business."
"But please Professor-"
"Why are you so interested in my past?"
"Because your past is interesting," Zabrina smiled.
"We'll leave that topic for some other time."
"Yes, Professor."

"I see you got rid of the red bracelet," Draco said.
"It broke, but I keep it in my pocket."
"Oh please, when will you throw the old thing away?"
"Never."
Both of them stopped talking as soon as the lights suddenly turned off.
"Draco?"
There wasn't an answer.
"Draco!"
Still no answer. All she heard was her own voice.
"Draco please this isn't-"
The lights turned on and Draco was out of sight. Instead, Goyle was standing behind the couch that was in front of Zabrina. She stood up as if nothing happened.
"So the Dark Lord's daughter is scared of the dark, huh?" he said as he walked towards Zabrina.
"I was surprised, not afraid. Where's Draco?"
"Why are you so interested in Malfoy?"
"That is something you have no need to know. Where's Draco?" Zabrina glared at the huge Slytherin now very near her. Goyle was extremely tall, much taller than Draco.
"Clearly you don't like him, do you?"
"Shut up, Goyle. Where's Draco?"
Goyle grabbed her arm and pulled her.
"What are you doing?" she yelled as she tried to get herself free.
"You know, father told me that you're the Dark Lord's daughter, and that I should…keep you close," he smirked. "And I've learned to obey my father no matter what."
"Well you do know that I could get you and your precious father killed."
"Like you would ever do that," he pushed her against a wall, still not letting go of her arm. With his other hand, he held her other wrist.
"Goyle, I swear if you don't let go, I'll kill your bloody family."
"Oh come on, Zabrina. Let's have a little fun," he tilted his head to one side. "Who knows what'll happen if I tell my father that I've snogged the Dark Lord's daughter."
"You-"
Before she finished her sentence, Draco was standing next to where Goyle stood, and Goyle staggered back as he held his left cheek.
"Goyle, I'll kill you," Draco said furiously.
Goyle laughed. "You? Kill me? Please Malfoy don't waste your life."
Draco ran towards Goyle, and pushed him off his feet. Draco was on him, and took out his wand.
"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"
"What is this commotion?" Snape yelled as he entered the Common Room. "Both of you, up!" He said as he pulled the two's ears. "Explain yourselves!"
"I…I didn't do anything, Professor. Draco just suddenly jumped on me and threatened to kill me!"
"LIAR!" Draco screamed. "YOU KNOCKED ME OUT, AND THEN TRIED TO SNOG ZABRINA!"
"He's lying, Professor. I would never!"
Professor Snape looked at Zabrina and saw the red marks on her wrist and arm.
"All three of you, in my office," Snape said as he dragged the two boys and Zabrina followed.
"Tell me what happened," Snape said.
"I was talking with Draco, and then the lights suddenly turned off. When they were back on, Draco disappeared, and Goyle was standing in front of me. The rest of the story is what Draco told you at the Common Room."
"Both of them are trying to trick you, sir! I'm the one telling the-"
"Silence!" Snape ordered. He looked into Goyle's eyes for a moment, then sighed. "Malfoy and Lupin, go back to your Common Room. As for you, you'll have detention for the rest of the year every day. Understood?"
"But Professor I-"
"I said, understood?"
Goyle sighed.
"Now get lost. All of you."
The three went back to the dungeons and saw that everyone went back up to their dorm room.
"This isn't over yet, Zabrina," Goyle said and walked back to his room.
Zabrina fell on her knees and sighed.
Draco did the same, and held her arms lightly. "Hey, calm down. It's alright I-"
"That bloody git," her voice was shaking.
"Talk about desperate," Draco smirked. "The only girl who's ever been that near him was Parkinson at the Yule Ball."
"Oh for-"
"Just stay still, Zabrina. You're shaking like a dog."
Zabrina wrapped her arms around Draco.
"Calm down now. It's alright."
Zabrina didn't let go.
"Wait, let me see you for a second," Draco said as he pushed her back. He gently lifted her arms. "You okay?"
She looked at the red marks on her because of Goyle's tight grip. "Yeah, I'm alright."
"I really was going to kill him until Snape came."
"Oh please," she held Draco again. "Thank you, Draco."
Draco held her, and didn't say a word.

She was called to see Professor Snape. She went into his office, and saw his urgent expression.
"Zabrina, we need to go," he said and pulled Zabrina into his fireplace.
They landed at the Three Broomsticks, only to Apparate again to the Order Headquarters.
"What brings you here?" Sirius snarled when he noticed Snape entering the old house.
"Harry Potter and his friends are at the Ministry," Snape said calmly. "They are currently in a quite…difficult situation."
"Well then we better get going," Lupin came in. "Zabrina! It's been such a long time!" Lupin ran towards her and hugged her.
"We don't have time for this, Remus," Sirius pulled him away. "I'll call the others."
Other Order members went to join the battle, including Tonks and Lupin. She wanted to follow, but Snape stopped her.
"You have another place to go," he said and they Apparated to another location.

Voldemort was sitting on a couch, massaging his temples. He was very annoyed, just by the look of it.
Voldemort looked up. "Ah, Zabrina, you're here."
"Is everything alright?"
"I hope so, child."
Wormtail ran into the room, and paused for a moment when he saw Zabrina and Professor Snape inside the room that was almost empty just a minute ago. "My lord, they are calling."
Voldemort sighed. "Why does Lucius have to disappoint me so much?" he stood up. "Come along child, we're going to the Ministry." Voldemort's cold hands wrapped Zabrina's shoulder, and the two vanished from the Riddle House.
Harry was chasing a woman with crazy hair when they arrived. Everything about her was crazy: her hair, looks, voice, and the way her facial expression changed drastically in the past thirty seconds. Her father let go of her and went near Harry.
Dumbledore came in just in time and fought a magnificent battle between Voldemort. She watched as she saw the crazy woman run towards her.
"Ah, Zabrina! Yes, I've heard about you," she checked Zabrina out. "Pretty child, come along," she grabbed Zabrina's wrist and walked into one of the chimneys.
"No Bellatrix!" Voldemort yelled. "Let my child stay."
Bellatrix let go of Zabrina and vanished. Zabrina was left with Dumbledore, Harry, Voldemort, dozens of other people. She heard Harry say something to Voldemort, about how he never knew love and friendship. Eventually, Voldemort left, leaving Zabrina behind. Dumbledore lead Harry out through the crowds and Lupin took Zabrina.

Zabrina was in Dumbledore's office with Lupin and Snape.
"So I shall take Miss-"
"Zabrina," Lupin and Dumbledore said.
"-with me over the summer?" Snape finished his sentence.
"Yes," Dumbledore said.
"Then it's settled," Lupin clapped his hands.
"Zabrina, stay with Severus until I give you further orders. Am I understood?"
"Yes, sir."
"Now be bad, Zabrina," Lupin said as he hugged her.
"I will."
He waved at his little girl go off with Snape. Well, now his little girl wasn't so little anymore. He smiled to himself while thinking about all the memories they shared. He was planning to have Zabrina over the summer and stay with Tonks, get married, and have Zabrina as the flower girl. They would've been a full family. He wouldn't be able to see his girl on his own wedding day, but he knew it was for her, his, and even Tonks's good. He was going to miss his big little girl.
