Traitor To All • D. Malfoy {Book 2}

•Chapter 2.6•

- The Monster Is Always Alone -

After the destruction of the Weasley House, Haylee and Harry were yelled at motherly by Hermione and Haylee was tried of it. She walked away from the Gryffindors and towards Draco.

He was looking tired and pale just as Haylee was. "How was your break?" She asked and he chuckled darkly.

"It wasn't much of a break." He said and tilted his neck so it would make a sickening crack.

Haylee looked down at his forearm to see the slight black ink swirling around. She carefully grabbed his arm and tucked the button on. "Be more careful." She muttered and he just smiled at her.

"Do you care for me Potter?" He asked teasingly as she looked him straight in the eyes.

"Of course I do." She said honestly then covered it up. "Because your my ticket out of this mess." She hissed and walked away leaving Draco confused.

But before she could go anywhere Harry grabbed her arm. "I need your help." He said and dragged her along the corridors to the Gryffindor common room.

"What do you think your doing Harry!" She screeched as she was dragged into the boys dormitory.

"You're the only one I could think of that might know the potion for this." He said while pointing over to Ron who was looking disgusted by Haylee.

"You said you would get Romilda. This isn't Romilda." He said while whinnying like a two year old.

Haylee furrowed her eyebrows and went over to Ron and looked into his dilated pupils. "Ron, who do you wanna talk to right now?" She asked and Ron looked up at the ceiling dreamily.

"Romilda Vane." He said dreamily and she snorted trying so hard not to laugh.

"Love potion?" She guessed while Harry nodded.

"Yeah, you see Hermione warned me about Romilda trying to slip me love potion..." He went on and on as Haylee looked around and sat on a bed that had chocolate cauldrons. She shrugged and took a bite out of one while listening to her brothers rant.

"And she gave me these chocolates that are filled with love potion." He finished while looking back at his sister to see her eating one of them. "No Haylee don't!" He said while she swallowed it.

"What! Why?" She asked then felt a wave of happiness flow through her and her face was all relaxed as she smiled and thought about Romilda.

"Do you think Vane will ever love me?" She asked while pouting and Harry rubbed his forehead.

"Come on you two." He said while dragging both of them towards Professor Slughorn.

"But I liked Romilda first!" Ron screamed at the blonde and she sneered at him.

"So! She could still love me more than you!" She yelled back and Ron gasped.

"She's not even lesbian!"

Haylee rolled her eyes. "Once she sees this, she sure will be!" She yelled back and they kept bickering back and forth.

Then Harry dragged the two into his office and Haylee looked around. "Where is Romilda?" She asked and Harry laughed silently.

"She's not here yet." He laughed out and Ron sat down on the couch staring at the fire.

Then Harry handed me a drink. "Bottoms up Haylee." She looked down at it and sneered at him.

"I'm not drinking this until-" she was cut off by Harry placing the cup on her mouth and forcing her to swallow the bitter potion.

She chocked and started coughing slightly as she felt like she was waking up from a dreamless sleep. She looked around the room with bright eyes and looked at Harry. "Why do I feel so... Dirty?" She grimaced and Harry smiled and hugged her.

"You are the funniest person under a love potion." He chuckled and Haylee furrowed her eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" She asked while Harry just shook his head.

"Nothing we need to talk about right now." And then I looked over at Ron and he was hunched over looking sickly pale.

"Ahh, I feel awful." He complained while I rolled my eyes.

"Well, you did have about twenty love potion cauldrons." Haylee said while Harry agreed with her.

"How about a pick me up?" Professor Slughorn said while Haylee's eyes widened when he was opening the bottle of wine that was meant for Dumbledore.

"No!" She yelled and everyone looked at her funny. She faked a smile and shook her head. "We are all under age Professor. No need to break any rules for us." She said while he just shook her statement off.

"Nonsense Ms. Potter." He smiled and handed her a glass of the poisoned concoction. Her face was getting heated because she didn't want anyone here to die over one sip of the poison so she did the only thing she could.

Before anyone else could take a sip she downed the whole thing and started sputtering foam and gagging on the poison.

It was difficult to breath as the poison ran through her veins making it seem like her whole body was on fire. All she wanted to do was scream, but she was paralyzed and kept spasming around until she felt something slide down her throat and her body relaxed and she fell into unconsciousness.

Haylee's POV

I felt a cool hand placed on my forehead causing my eyes to open slightly. I blinked a couple times and looked around to my right to see Ron on the hospital bed as well with Hermione by his side.

She smiled at me and kept a firm grip on his hand and I looked to my right to see a familiar blonde. "Draco?" I mumbled into a question and he smiled sadly at me.

"I didn't think you would be that much of an idiot Potter. Poisoning yourself that is." He said lowly so Hermione wouldn't hear and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"What happened?" I asked and he rolled his eyes.

"Well, we know for a fact that your potion skills are at a hundred as long as your brother isn't around." He said while the memories came flowing back.

My mouth hung up. "How long have I been out?" I asked and he looked down sadly.

"Three days." He grimaced and my eyes widened while I pulled the curtain for some privacy.

"The cabinet? Did it work?" I asked excitedly, but all Draco did was sneer.

"Other than the fact that everything keeps dying whenever they leave, it's dandy." He hissed while walking away.

I felt my temper rise as I quickly got out of bed and followed him. "Well let me help you!" I yelled at him which made him turn at me angrily.

"You've done enough! I don't need your help anymore and I certainly don't need you around me anymore you filthy monster!" He yelled back causing me to stop and build my walls higher hearing him say those things. "All you ever do is lie and cheat. So don't come around me anymore." He said and stalked off causing me to stare blankly at his fleeing figure.

I just stood there not knowing what to do and soon empty inside. Just like my entire  life. Empty and alone.
