A Game of Lies & Seduction

Setup

Draco

Draco paced angrily in his bedroom, it was the middle of the day, he hadn't fucking slept since he left The Marauders last night, something wasn't sitting right. He yanked his door open to find Theo and Mattheo passed out on the couch, an empty bottle in each of their hands. Blaise had taken Tori out of the Mansion for the night so the three of them could spend time with Ariella. It was Tori that didn't make sense, if it was all an act, all a game why was Tori still with Blaise. What would the point have even been, making all of them fall for her, the metaphorical other foot hadn't even fallen. Mattheos phone had been ringing constantly the last ten minutes, he marched over and grabbed it, unknown caller.

He picked up the call “What!?” Draco barked into the phone “PUT MATTHEO ON THE DAMN PHONE” The all too fucking familiar voice barked angrily into the phone. Draco punched Mattheo in the gut making him shoot up grasping his stomach as he muttered profanities “HERE!” He snapped throwing his phone at him “Fucking Potter is on the phone for you!” He hissed. “Fuck Draco” Mattheo seethed as he put the phone to his ear, dread wiped across Mattheo’s face, he quickly stood, stomach forgotten as he looked around nervously. He was shaking his head “I DONT FUCKING KNOW!” Mattheo yelled and ended the call “THEO!” Mattheo shouted taking off towards the armoury.

“What the fucks going on Mattheo, why does Potter have your number?” Draco hissed following after him. “Harry fucking Potter?” Theo scoffed rubbing his head and chasing after them. In a panic Mattheo unarmed the room and let himself inside, he shoved a handful of weapons into each of their arms. “What's going on?” Theo snapped, “Bulgarian Mansion, it's a fucking bloodbath,” Mattheo said in a scared and unsure tone. Draco and Theo immediately sobered, Theo cocked a gun as Draco threw a vest of grenades over his chest. Mattheo grabbed onto them and apparated them outside the Bulgarian Mansion.

Aurors were everywhere “Fuck” Theo hissed dropping his gun to his side “WHERE IS SHE?” Harry shouted walking over angrily and getting in Mattheo’s face. He just shook his head, he didn't know. Draco ran up the stairs, fuck the Aurors. The front doors were blown off the hinges, blood smeared across the handles and dragged down the steps. The foyer was littered with bullet casings and blood, there were several bodies lying around this room alone. Draco started running checking every room, the unsettled feeling in his stomach was growing. Something was very wrong. “DRACO” Mattheo shouted from the foyer, he ran out of the fifth bedroom he had made it to “Anything?” Draco shook his head, nothing. “Half their crew is dead” Harry explained, turning on Draco “Why the fuck did we find your girlfriend here?” Draco furrowed his eyebrows “I thought you couldn't find Ariella?” Harry furrowed his eyebrows and then turned threatening “I'm talking about Parkinson, Malfoy” He spit.

Draco scoffed “Fuck Pansy, she's not my girlfriend” “Oh, and Ariella is?” Mattheo snapped, Draco nodded “Yeah, yeah she is.” Theo got in his face “Didn't have a fucking problem handing her over last night,” Draco sneered “Fuck the both of you, no fuck the three of us we all handed her over. Something's fucking wrong, it doesn't make sense Mattheo!” Mattheo paled and reached for his brother nodding, he agreed with him. He pushed past all of them “Where's their security room?” Draco snapped at Harry, he pointed down the adjacent hallway “Just past the garage on the left” Draco jogged down the hall and pushed the door open. He easily opened their security footage, too easily, they had been fucking untraceable now they were just unlocked. He opened the footage for the last 24 hours and froze. It wasn't left unlocked, it was a fucking message, one for him to find.

“MATT!” Draco barked, he went back as far as he could, everything else was erased leaving 15 seconds of footage. “Did you find anything?” Mattheo urged nearly running into the room, Draco looked at the screen and pressed play. The bodies and carnage were already done, the fight over as Enzo dragged two more bodies out of the house by their legs. He eyed the camera evilly, a warning for them, he was coming. Mattheo backed up into the wall sinking down to the ground, tears forming in his eyes. Until he saw her dead body Draco fucking refused to believe it, he deleted the footage and got up marching out of the room towards Potter. “You said you found Pansy, was the bitch dead or alive?” Draco snapped angrily as Mattheo raced out of the room after him. “Alive, she isn't saying anything, she's at St. Mungos” Theo apparated first Mattheo looked at Potter “Keep looking” He nodded and then grabbed Draco apparating them to the hospital.
