Pansy

I sat at the Slytherin table thinking about ways I could die. There was no chance I was going to make it out alive. One side would kill me for betrayal in the end.

Daphne and Blaise knew what had happened to the twins and Jaden. Everyone did. It made the Daily Prophet within days after they joined the deatheaters. It was like they wanted the world to know what they had done.

If anyone was broken about their betrayal, it was the Greengrass sisters. Daphne and Astoria were not speaking as much anymore. The only thing that came about of their mouths were questions about the three newest deatheaters.

Blaise stayed silent on the matter, but Theo talked about how when they were alone Blaise would ask all these questions that Theo couldn't provide the answer too. Luna was missing, but to Theo and I, we knew were she was. We knew were all the missing people were. Malfoy Manor.

"Are you going to see them over the break?" Daphne asked, breaking the silence at the table. It was the first words that came out of her mouth this morning.

Theo looked up from this plate and froze. Blaise dropped his fork and looked at Daphne as if she had said the killing curse. Any mention of them seemed to be against the law now.

I shook my head, "There will be no telling if we do or not. They have been going back and fourth between the palace and the manor. The twins, they haven't been the same with the holidays coming up."

Blaise scoffed, "Where they ever the same? It was like everyday they changed. One day they were with us and telling us never to join the deatheaters, and now they are one of them. They hated Pansy so much last year just to become worse than her."

Theo stood up and ran his hand through his hair, "They lost everything. That doesn't justify their actions, but they had nothing left. They lost the last bit of control they had. The only people who could handle them three were Monroe and Sirius and now they are dead."

Astoria looked down at her plate, "Are they at least okay? Harry and the other two aren't here either. Is everyone still alive?"

"The twins and Jaden killed Baylor the day they got their mark and have killed anyone who questions them. They get stronger with every kill. As for Harry and the other two, they are alive, but we don't know where they are. Snatchers are looking for them." I explained.

Daphne signed, "Be honest. Are they," She paused, "Are they planning on doing what they always planned to do?"

I looked at Theo for answer, but he walked off, "Let us just say that no matter what, the twins don't want to make it out alive after this war. They will die, so just don't hold any hope of them living in your heart. They gave up, so should you."

Theo and I arrived back at Malfoy Manor a few days before Christmas. The twins and Jaden haven't been seen here since November. Since Monroe and Sirius' birthday.

Narcissa was fixing us lunch in the kitchen when a familiar face walked into room, "I want to see them. Cissy, I need to see them."

"I can not allow that, Regulus. They have asked me not to allow you to see them. Coming here was dangerous enough. You have a child on the way that needs you. Go back to your husband and Tonks." Narcissa said not looking up from her cutting board.

Regulus slammed his hands on the countertop, "Cissy, is this what you wanted for them? Monroe made you a promise when you both were pregnant. You would do everything in your power to save them from this. You aren't doing everything in your power, Narcissa!"
