Morning rises and as I wake a note falls from under my arm.

Flora Lockheart,

I shouldn't care for you. As hard as I try to I can't stop worrying that your foolish actions will get you killed. One side of me wants to call you an incompetent dimwit but there's another side. Don't be a fool. Don't do it. If anyone asks you where you were, you got lost in the dark forest and weak from finding your way out.

Sincerely, Malfoy

I crumble up the note and toss it but I should probably stick to his story. I don't need anyone finding out I'm a part of the death eaters plan. Good idea Malfoy. My dearest apology Malfoy but I have to continue on.

For the next 2 weeks I attend my classes attending the meetings. Not a word has been spoken between Draco and I. Just mutual cold stares across the meeting table with Lucius down Dracos neck. Is he really that soft? He isn't when he's around me.

The plan is going accordingly and I start researching places I may find Potters father. As Draco stopped attending meetings he never got to find out that Potters father is linked to Voldemort. With extensive research we can kill them both. The death eaters are tired of being held captive. We all wanted to be freed of the threats and whatever we had left to hold onto. We know he's alive. A map found in the Hogwarts library hidden appears in my names with Potters parents initials signed at the bottom. In writing said " Harry. If you find this follow the map. Go to the weasleys for to unveil the map directions. For you will find where I'm hidden."

This is utterly useless. How can I decipher the spell to unveil the map. I suppose I could  show this at the next meeting. If I can't kill Harry I'll kill his father. I quickly hide the map and head back to my room to find Draco sitting on my bed.

"You know it's forbidden to go into a room of the opposite sex." I snarled. "What are you hiding?" He asked in seriousness. "Oh this? It's mine. You'll find out soon." The words came out of my mouth confidently while I let out a smirk. As he stood I walked over to him and kissed his lips softly leaving him speechless. "Flora what are you doing?" He said confused. I grabbed his tie leading him out of my room until I pushed him out. "I did it Malfoy. I found something that will fix everything. We will win!" I said as I start closing the door until he catches the door in his hand.

"Flora I'm not liking the sound of this. This isn't you. They've gotten in your head." He tried to convince me. Well it isn't working. "You'll see." I warned him.

I close the door and search my room for the perfect hiding place. I found my music box my father gave me for my 5th birthday and place the map neatly inside.

"I will get them back. I promise I won't let you down father. Just wait."

POV- Draco Malfoy
Days later

She has gone completely out of her head. She's lost it. She's bloody lost it.

When she kissed me it's like she does it just because. Like she has no emotion. No one can hurt me but she can.

The Yule Ball is coming up and everyone with their ridiculous dates and happiness is so irritating.

After what happened a few nights back when she went completely mad I started distancing myself.

"Hey Draco, I was just wondering if you maybe would like to go to the Yule Ball with me?" A girl in the house of Hufflepuff had asked.

Blaise and all the rest of my buddies kept eying me trying to hold back laughter.

"Sure. Don't expect me to care though. I already don't want to be seen with me but I could just this once." I smirkingly said.

We all prepared for the Yule Ball not paying attention to what Flora had been up to. She still showed up to every thing while having her "duties" off to the side. I've been dismissed from the meetings I use to have to attend so whatever plan they have is not going to be good.

A few days later-

My "date" is headed down the stairs and all we do is argue. It would just bring up memories rushing back from whenever I was around Flora.

Forget about her Draco

Now is not the time.

Behind my date was Flora dressed in this white dress similar to the dress she wore for her 18th with her crown held high on her head.

This whole Yule Ball has been a disaster.

As Flora is dancing with one of my buddies as soon as she makes eye contact with me I kiss Jule right in front of Floras eyes.

"Forget this ever happened you here me?" I say warning Jule.

"You've been using me this whole time?" She cried out.

"Of course I was mudblood. You really think I would have feelings for someone as incompetent like you?" I snarled.

In that moment I stormed off. Going to this terrible Ball was a terrible mistake. Like she would care.

We were always a losing game.

I really got addicted to a losing game. With her it's always been a game. To get what's she wants.

How could I let myself lose against her. Leaving me weak. Hurt. Torn.

A shadow appears behind me and it's Flora. "Quite a show you put on." She smirkingly teased while clapping her hands trying to get closer to me.

I walked off leaving her in the shadow.

"I can't love you in the dark" was the last words I had said to her before I left.

I just want to kiss her. I want to make her feel alright. She doesn't need to go down this route. It makes me feel like I want to cry, I just wanna love. It may seem like im not the person to. I've been told im not the person to. I want to love her but she makes it so bloody hard.

I hear a storm brewing. The air fills with darkness. What the hell did she do? I ran out to the common room to find everyone whispering. Down the halls filled with professors. No ones doing anything but watching the two figures in the distance facing each other.

It's Flora and... Harry's father?

I ran to her trying to stop her but she is too fixated on her goal.

"YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE POTTER!" She yelled as Harry tried fighting her off from behind but she didn't let him get out the way. "Flora. You reckless fool! Stop this all now." I tried to warn her.

The battle ends leaving potters father on the ground along with Flora unconscious. Potters father stood up in glory. Dumbledore walked up behind me in disbelief and Potters father lifts his wand towards my direction. Dumbledore tried to tell James this isn't what he wanted but he didn't seem to care. The wand wasn't pointed towards me though. It was pointed towards Dumbledore.

Confusion stirs the air. Wasn't the potters supposed to be the good kind? The brave, the chosen ones to fight darkness? Not to create it? No one ever imagined this outcome.

Dumbledore has fallen and potters father was weak. Snape jumped in and finished him off then rushed to Dumbledore. While both Dumbledore and Flora were lying week and unconscious.

I ran over to Flora holding her in my arms begging her to wake up. A fucking fool she is. I could still feel her pulse and I pull her closer. I look over to see that Dumbledore had gained his consciousness.

Everyone is in disbelief including Harry Potter himself. The darkest has always been Voldemort himself but no one would think that a Potter would be that capable of dark magic.

The dark clouds clear up and all I could see is northern lights. I look down to Flora holding her wand so slightly. Her head turns towards my face as I felt her hand on my cheeks where tears were once placed. "I'm ok Malfoy." She whispered to me before her eyes drifted off again.

In her other hand was a note. I lifted her fragile fingers to reveal what the note had been.

Draco Malfoy,

I can't guarantee I'll win this but I did this for the best of my kingdom. If you receive this note. I want you to know, I did this for us. There couldn't be any other outcome. Not just my kingdom would be protected, your mother would be protected. The truth is Malfoy. I never intended to hurt you if I did. I'll survive this. I'll tell you the rest once the battle is over.

Love, Lockheart
