Limerence

A new Catastrophe

Today Draco was getting released from the hospital wing. As he reached his dormintory, his attention was caught by a window tapping noise. He opened the window and let the owl in. He immediately recognised the magnificent owl from his mother. The owl offered his leg where the letter was attached. He removed the letter and gave the owl a treat. The owl made a hooting noise and soared through the window. Draco sat on his bed and started reading the letter.

Dearest Draco,
I was informed about the incident that happened at hogwarts. By the time you get this letter, I hope you are well. The purpose of writing this is that he knows. The Dark lord knows about the connection between you and Hermione Granger. I don't quiet understand how, but now there is no way to turn this around. There is going to be a death eaters meeting tomorrow at headquarters at noon. Your presence is expected. You will be questioned tomorrow about everything. And I believe truth is the only way now.
We don't know about the Dark Lord's emotions yet. He does not seem angry but something is up. I want you to be brave and prepared for tomorrow. Your father is not thrilled about this but sooner or later this had to come out. I don't know if we will get time to talk after the meeting but I just want to tell you that, tell Hermione the truth. Whatever that happens tomorrow will certainly be related to her.
I'm so sorry son to drag you onto this.
Narcissa.

Draco's pov:
Sweat formed on my forehead. Heart beat faster. I was scared for my life amd Hermione's. I'm already falling behind in my mission and now facing the dark lord again.... I'm devastated. It was 3 in the afternoon. I laid on my bed thinking. Hermione won't be here for another 4 hours. I sighed. There was nothing left to do now. As much as I hated Dumbledore, killing someone was Definately not in me. These are the moments I hated my father so much. If he wouldn't have forced me into becoming a death eater.. My life would have been so different.

Hermione left me some homework to copy from so I decided to do that. I needed something to tale my mind off. But who would not be restless in such situations?

I finished all yhe writing work till 7 in the evening. There was still an awful amount of time left until I get a clear picture. There was no sight of Hermione.. That girl.. Probably drowning herself in books in the library...
I decided to take the dreamless sleeping draught madam Pomfrey had offered me and went to sleep early.

Draco woke up at 8 in the morning. There was no sound of Hermione in the dorm. He quickly got up and got ready for breakfast. At noon he had to be at the Malfoy Manor which was now headquarters for Voldemort. He expected to see Hermione there but she was nowhere to be seen.
Just not seeing Hermione made him feel uneasy. Which made him realise how much he is attached and dependent on that girl...

He had herbology till noon.. So he was going to attend that and then go at the Manor. Concentrating at such situations in life is extremely difficult. Have too many things on your mind makes you lose it. He survived the lesson and went at Snape's office to use the floo. Snape was the only one who knew what it felt to be in the middle of two sides. How much regret a man feels when he has to do something which risks their loved one's.

He mentally prepared himself to go to the hell hole once he called that place his home. The warm and cozziness of hogwarts left his body as he entered into the cold, dark manor.

"Come, Draco. Have a seat" The dark lord said in an almost hissing voice. He winced as he took the seat between most wanted criminals in the magical world.
Frenier Greyback, the notorious werewolf who has ruined many lives of the children by biting them.. Bellatrix Lestrange who Draco felt disgusted to even look at his aunt.
His thoughts were interruptex when Nagini sprawled on the table hissing at everyone.
"My dear Draco, we all know the mishap that happened between you and the mudblood." Draco winced when he heard mudblood rollibg of the dark Lord's tongue like venom.
"Who knew the son of pure blood supremist would have a desire for a mudblood?" The dark lord gave an evil laugh. The others also joined. The face of humiliation which Lucius Malfoy carried was priceless.
"Silence." Said the dark lord as the laughter died down.
"Now what happened has happened. And I'm going to see the benefit from it. Everyone knows that even though that girl is a filthy little mudblood, she is called as the brightest witch of your generation. And seeing that the girl is friends with the potter boy, I would leabe no opportunity fpr anyone who doesn't support my ideas." Draco gulped. He knew exactly what yne dark lord was talking about. "Draco, I want you to tell that Mudblood that I'm offering her to be a death eater, or you two both will suffer immensely until you two are begging for death. Do you hear me boy? The consequences will be extremely severe."

Voldemort said, his nerves raging with anger. That was the moment Draco knew that this war was on amd he needed to do something to save an innocent life.
