Chapter 21
Voldemort and the other Death Eaters were too busy themselves to pay any attention to the two youngest members.
"So how's the plan going?" Zabrina sat next to Draco.
"Oh, swell," he smirked "I've already made plans to meet Dumbledore."
"Oh really? Who else will be attending your tea party?"
"The Dark Lord, of course," he rolled up his sleeve. "He's the one who commanded me to do all this shit."
"Shh, Draco! Someone might hear us!"
"Then let's go somewhere where they won't," he grabbed her arm and Apparated.
They landed at a muggle amusement park.
"Are you mad?" Zabrina yelled at Draco.
"Maybe," he said as he noticed a roller coaster spin in a full circle. "Let's go ride that one."
Zabrina couldn't help but to follow him.
They enjoyed themselves all day long. They rode three roller coasters, the merry-go-round two times, the Viking three times, and now they were riding the ferris wheel.
"ZABRINA LOOK!" Draco stood up. "YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING FROM HERE!"
"Will you please calm down? You're making the cart shake!"
"I CANNOT CALM DOWN. THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT-"
"I have all the right in the world to tell Draco Malfoy to calm down," she grabbed his arms and pulled him down.
Draco made a face and crossed his arms.
Zabrina smiled and looked out. She saw the buildings become smaller than her nails as their cart went up higher. Their ride ended, and Draco dragged her out. They were walking together eating turkey legs and corn on the cob. Draco was furious when muggles didn't know what the hell a galleon was.
It was long past sunset, and Zabrina was getting tired.
"Let's go back, Draco."
"No, I still have a few things left on my list."
"But-"
Draco suddenly sat down. He hit the ground beside him, as if he wanted her to sit next to him.
Zabrina rolled her eyes and sat next to him. "I'm going to blame you if we get in trouble."
Draco smirked "As if you cared about breaking the rules."
"For your information, I happen to be a…" she stopped.
All the lights from the lamp posts and buildings turned off, and everything turned pitch-black. She reached for Draco's arm, and almost squeezed it. Music started to play all of a sudden, and a distant glow appeared from the end of the road. Then people came in sight. They wore thick, colorful makeup and their clothes were in vibrant shades of red and yellow. They held torches and played with fire. Behind them, rolled an enormous vehicle covered with light bulbs. They all turned on and off at a certain time individually to make illusions of a certain picture. The same thing repeated, but different people performing a different dance and different vehicles displaying different lights. Zabrina was simply staring at the lights flashing and glowing in front of her. Her smile never left her as she stared awestruck at the performance.
Draco didn't even give the parade a glance, all he needed was beside him. This was one of her most brilliant moments; she shined in the colorful lights and her eyes were making the whole park seem dark. Her smile was something too good for him to see alone.
Zabrina looked up at him, and met his eyes. Excitement was written all over her forehead and she smiled brightly. Draco then pointed up. Zabrina looked to where he was pointing.
"Mistletoe," they said at the same time.
Their eyes met again. At that moment they knew they felt the same towards each other, just like Zabrina's ancestors did before her. All Draco could see was her purple, and all Zabrina could see was his grey eyes.
"You have to kiss me now," Draco smirked. "Why, you nervous?"
"Stop," she said and looked the other way.
Draco smiled. He leaned in as he pulled her close. Their lips met, and time stopped, as if fate wanted to cherish the moment. They were two lost souls that have finally been found, and were determined to never leave each other's side again.

They went back to Hogwarts a few days later. Draco needed a new plan to kill Dumbledore. Most of his confidence left him after his first failure, and soon to his dismay, his second attempt failed as well. Ron got poisoned, but was saved luckily to Harry's quick thinking. Zabrina didn't talk to Draco for three days.
Draco and Zabrina were walking into the Great Hall when he saw Katie Bell, and then Harry. Draco fled as Harry followed him to the Girls' Bathroom. Zabrina hid behind a stall. Draco leaned on a sink, and started to sob. Harry came in and they began their duel. Before Draco could even defend himself, Harry yelled a curse Zabrina had never heard before. Draco fell, and Harry tried to run as soon as he saw Draco bleeding on the floor. Snape came in, and chanted the counter-spell on Draco. He carried Draco to the Hospital Wing, and Zabrina followed.

Draco opened his eyes a few days later.
"Draco," she gasped as he tried to sit up. "No Draco, lie down. You need to rest." She pushed him back down.
"How long was I-"
"Two days," she removed the hair poking his face. "You alright?"
"I almost died, of course I'm fine." He said. "These are one of the many, many times I'll question your need to protect that bloody-"
"Shh Draco, someone will hear you."
"Did I miss anything?" he asked her.
"You missed a lot of things, but you'll be excused since you were hospitalized."
"Well at least one good thing came out," he smirked. "What happened to Potter?"
"He has detention every Saturday until the end of this term," she glared at Draco.
"What? Hey, just so you can remember, I am the one who's hurt here. I'm the one who's hospitalized. If anything, you should be protecting me from Potter rather than protecting him and his silly friends from-"
"Draco, if you talk about this one more time, I'm gonna leave," Zabrina stood up.
"Like you would ever leave," he smirked.
Zabrina rolled her eyes as Dumbledore entered the room.
"Great, just the two I was looking for," he asked Madame Pomfrey to excuse them for a moment, and the three were left alone.
"How are you feeling, Draco?"
"Better, sir."
"Excellent," Dumbledore said. "I am here to help you, Draco. I am aware of your…responsibility."
"Why do you want to help me?"
"Because I know you are not a killer, and you do not wish to kill me."
"What if you're wrong?"
"Am I?"
Draco sighed. "No, sir."
"Then I need you to do me a favor."
