Going Unnoticed (Last Book In The Things Not Seen Series) *Completed*

Chapter 10

Christina awoke and let out the scream she had been holding back. Almost on cue, she turned to see that Draco had woken with a jolt. In a panic, she collapsed into his arms crying. Without taking his eyes off of her, Draco watched as Christina gasped for breath between sobs. If only he knew what she had just witnessed. Once Christina had just about soaked Draco's shirt with her tears, Draco lifted up her chin so that he could see into her beautiful blue eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked sympathetically.

"I'm just so glad that you're okay."

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"I just had the worst dream; everyone was dead. You, Aria, Bear, and Ash were all just....dead." she replied with a slight shiver.

"It's okay. Everything's going to be just fine."

"No it's not. He's penetrated my dreams. I accepted his request but I was hesitant. He knows that I am not truly loyal. He wants me to doubt myself. So much so that I will have to fall back on something. That's when he'll strike. When I'm weak. He knows Draco....he knows." she sobbed.

"The best thing to do now is show him that you can beat this. Show him that you aren't just some shield for him to hide behind."

Christina nodded but she couldn't help but feel a slight pang of doubt. It was almost as if, she knew the outcome of her rebellion before it even began and if she fought back.....her rebellion would crumble. Still, this wasn't upon her today. She had no need to worry about this yet. Right now her main concern was to fix things with Aria.

Trotting down the hall to Aria's door, Christina was about to knock on the door when it was pulled open and out walked Aria. The sisters came face to face and looked one another over. Before either of them knew what they were doing, they pulled one another into a hug. All was forgiven.

"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have kept it from you." Aria cried out.

"I'm sorry too. This is all my fault. I fell for it."

"Fell for what?"

"This is what he wants Aria. He wants us arguing so that the rebellion has no chance to thrive."

"Oh my god. I had no idea."

"It's okay. That's how he works. We just have to show him that we're one better, that we are stronger than him and he will fall."

"Great so what do we do?"

"Leave that to me."

With that, Christina had began down the hallway with Aria on her heels. When they stopped in a large doorway, Aria realized that they were in Lucius Malfoy's office. Aria followed Christina into the room gazing at all of the shelves of books and odd trinkets and such. Christina sat down in a large black leather chair and pulled out a crisp piece of paper and a beautiful quill. The quill began to scribble words that Aria couldn't quite read from where she was standing.

While she was waiting, Aria pulled down a book or two to skim through. Sliding her finger across the bindings of the books, she paused on a title that popped out at her most: The Book of Dark Arts. Carefully, she pulled it off of the shelf. The pages flipped back and forth on Aria's command and she tried to soak up as much information as possible.

She was a bit disappointed when Christina finished her writing. Aria had become so drawn to the book. Christina walked over to an open window and whistled. While her sister was occupied, Aria slipped the book into her bag. As Bear landed on the window sill, Christina couldn't help but let a smile stretch across her face.

Christina tied the letter to his leg, whispered something to him, and sent him off out into the cold air. Aria crossed the room and stood with her hands on the desk that Christina was sitting behind.

"What was that all about?"

"Oh nothing. I just thought that it was time that our little sister payed us a visit."
