Worse Than Death. d.m

Get up

( Draco Malfoy)

I woke up to people yelling. My head was pounding from my definitely a bit excessive amount of alcohol I had consumed the night before. Groaning, I turned over and the space beside me was empty. I jumped from the bed, running for the door. It was locked.

" Theodore? Alex? Hello? Someone better let me the fuck out before I blow this door up." I slammed myself against the door trying to get it open, hurting my shoulder in the process.

" fuck! I'm blowing this bloody door down in 5 seconds unless someone opens it right now!" I yelled one more time before letting my magic reach my fingertips when the door opened.

" Draco darling, let's go for a walk." It was my mother. What is happening?

" What in the bloody hell is going on?" I walked out of the room and passed my mother, who followed quickly.

" First thing I need to tell you is that we will get her back-"

" Get who back , mother!?" she didn't say anything.

"Don't say it's her. Please mother. Anyone but her. Please you don't unde-"

" I understand perfectly my son! That girl is my daughter in law in my eyes. Now please, let me explain. Follow me to the drawing room, everyones waiting inside." I nodded, my hands clenched so hard my hands hurt. We entered the room and the air shifted. Arabella looked like death herself, Pansy looked like she hadn't slept in 4 days and Theodore looked like he was about to commit mass murder. Understandably. Cam was nowhere to be seen.

"Well is anyone going to explain what is happening?" I threw myself onto the couch beside Theo, going to grab the bottle of whiskey from the night before.

" You're gonna want to be sober for this one mate." Alex entered the room with something that looked like a small treasure chest cradled in his arms.

" What the fuck happened to isebella?" My fist clenched so hard my knuckles were white.

" Her mom has her."

" I'm sorry what?" I laughed because I swore someone just told me that Isebella's mother took her! Which can't be true because she was with me last night. We were okay.

" Draco. I'm sorry. We will get her back." I think that was Arabella? I'm not too sure.

" I'm going to kill you mother Nott."

"You might want to see this first Draco..."my mother gestured to the chest in Alex's hands. I looked at him, silently telling him to open it. My mother nodded and he opened the chest. Encased was a small paper and a pendant. My mother took the note in her hands, preparing to read it for us all to hear.

" Don't come. Take this to the place we danced for a 3rd time. Destroy it and wait for Cam's owl. - Isebella." What the actual fucking fuck. Pansy sobbed into Arabella's shoulder, Theo looked like he was about to throw up.

" So she knew this was going to happen? And she and Cam have a plan?" Alex spoke first, breaking the silence that filled the room.

" I suppose yes, that's certainly what it sounds like." my mother cleared her throat and walked over to the book shelf, pulling out 3 or 4 books from the shelves.

" read these. You need to know about the stone in the pendant in order to destroy it. We will get her back before the school year begins if you all work together." Mother placed the books on the table in front of us. Arabella leaned over and picked the first one up.

" French curses and cursed? Why french?" Pansy read the title over Arabella's shoulder.

" Mother was french. Her parents were curse makers and she used to be- dammit. Fuck give me that book Ara." Theo spoke for the first time since I got in here. I still couldn't speak. I was afraid that if I did I would Just start to sob. I couldn't believe this was happening, but at the same time, I wasn't. Because of all the people that this shit would happen too, it would be her. My Isebella. I needed her back. We all did. Speaking of all of us....

" where the fuck is Cameron?" I spoke and everyone jumped from their seats, not expecting it. Alex cleared his throat and pulled something out of his pocket.

" They left it here this morning." He gave me the note, I snatched it out of his hands to read it.

" We need to deal with the cursed and the men that lead to them. She's okay. I'm finding an old friend to help with the dirty work. Just follow what she wrote and everything will be fine. We have until the end. Whenever she decides when that will be. Stay safe and don't fuck this up. - Cameron Lestrange." the note set on fire. Or at least it would have if Parkinson hadn't taken it before I had the chance to finish the job.

" Don't be an idiot Draco. There might be clues in this. We can't have it destroyed. You fucking dimbo." Pansy got up from her seat and walked towards the door.

" Pansy, where on earth are you going right now? We have to look through these b-"

" Snape's house. Cam's friend might know where she went." I got up from the couch and everyone looked at me in shock.

" Well? What the fuck are you lot doing? Get your wands and let's go find this witch." No one moved.

" Get up!" They all scattered out of the room. 

Bloody fucking hell.
