1. WHAT IS DUMBLEDORE THINKING

The Reason

Prolog

As Draco sat on the Hogwarts Express accompanied by Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy, he thought about one thing that had invaded his mind all summer. That thing, or rather a certain red head, who he wished to seek revenge on for a bat bogey hex that he received at the end of the previous year. That red head was Ginny Weasley.

Once again like the previous year he was made prefect. So instead of making a special trip to visit the golden trio, he instead would work his way up to the prefects cabin, along with frighten a few 1st years on the way. He also was looking forward to insulting the golden trio particularly for sending his father to jail. Not because he even liked his father but because it was his father. It was something that had to do with reputation and influence.

With all of this in mind he casually made his way out of the compartment, quickly to be followed by Crabbe and Goyle. <Monkey see monkey do>was thought of in his mind as he smirked. <Father always said it paid to have big friends and that has shown through to my advantage indeed.>

He finally made his way to the normal dream team compartment smirking. Opening the door he saw the usual in his mind <Potter is still depressed, and crushing on the Mudblood. EWW... Has she even noticed? She really looks deep in thought. Weasley one was eating and Weasley two was viciously throwing me a death glare. She might want to work on it a little more to get it to my perfection.>

"So Malfoy, Miss us too much? Couldn't stay away? Or did you just want another hex cast upon you?" Ginny hissed. <How dare she talk to me like that!> Immediately, Crabbe and Goyle begin to crack their knuckles.

"Well. If you had anymore of a brain you would know why I came over here. But I'm sure your family couldn't afford the other 1/2 of it." He said with a smirk. For a brief moment a shocked and infuriate look appeared on her face. <That should shut her up a bit.> Once her expression faded back into a cool and controlled look she replied in a high sweet voice

"Then I don't get it what happened to your brain? I mean couldn't your family afford it?? Oo wait that was before your father/larger you went to Azkaban???"

Draco automatically was as red as Ginny's hair and started fuming. To Draco there were too many things with that statement that were wrong. No one insulted Draco Malfoy. Two, of course he could afford anything he wanted. Three, he was not like his father. Before he even realized he whipped out his wand, he found him self in a duel against Ginny.

Soon after they engaged in this duel Ron stepped in quickly followed by Harry and Hermione. As did Crabbe and Goyle, came to Draco's side. Luna and Neville who came by to see the golden trio ran for any teachers on the train. Harry Hermione Ron and Ginny all threw curses and hexes at Draco before he knew what was happening, sending him flying out of the compartment and out into the open arms on Pansy.

<Great, just what I need- falling unconscious, in her arms. Who knows what she'll do to Me.> the last thing he saw before drifting into unconsciousness was Ginny Weasley smirking victoriously at him. <I'm still in need of getting my revenge. This turned out horribly.>

End of Prolog

Draco awoke in the hospital wing with Madam Pomfrey hurrying around. He sat up and looked around before asking "What bloody time is it?? Can I go now???"

Madame Pomfrey looked at him for a moment before rushing over to take care of her patient.

"Mr. Malfoy the official school year as yet to even begin and here you are?? To answer your questions- 6:30 and, not yet."

"6:30 the feast has already started!!! I've been out for two hours!!!" He asked hatefully.

“Mr. Malfoy you were hit in the head by 3 hexes and 1 curse. What did you expect?" She replied. "Ok I think you can go on you are all check over."

Without even a thank you or good bye he left. He raced down to the great Hall. And was able to eat some of the last of the feast and even with Crabbe and Goyle sitting next to him and that it was the end of the dinner part of the feast, there was still enough food for him to eat.

At the end of the feast, Professor Dumbledore stood up to give the end of feast warnings and announcements. <This is will the same boring speech about how the first years can't go into the forbidden forest, restricted area, Bla, Bla, Bla… Why do we have to sit through this every bloody year???!!!!>

But that is when Draco was terrible wrong. There definitely going to be something extremely different about this year that no one in the Great Hall was going to expect.

“Now, I'm sure many of you already know me, and I must say it is good to be back at Hogwarts. As you all know, even if you deny it. Voldemort is back and more terrible than ever before. In times such as these Hogwarts as safe as it is, will even be endanger.

“We- all the houses must be brought together, and united to help and support each other. To help with this bonding of friendship, the other faculty members and I have provided a way to make that possible. Since we figured some of you would not be willing to participate and corporate,” glancing at the Sytherin Table for a moment. ”We have created something that you would do involuntarily. We also anticipated some discrimination and house pride may interfere, and keep you from becoming friends. So we devised a way around each of those problems. With each teacher's individual skill and abilities we have made way for all of these things to possible.” He paused for dramatic effect, and to peer around at every individual with twinkle in his eye.

<Why doesn't he tell us already it already sounds like a bloody bad idea. Horrid even.> Draco thought.

“Almost every student will have a student from a different house that you will have a connection to. You will be in your year group such as- 1&2, 3&4, 5-7. You will not know who it is.

“It is something similar to what Muggles would call mind reading. You will hear the other person's thoughts.

“We have taken some percussion that will protect it and not allow it to go too far. You will have your person unveiled at the end of the year. Thoughts that will give your identity away, cheat, or hurt the others feelings will not pass through, although you can control them to a conversation.

“This is supposed to help you understand others view points. Some of the things you think will automatically go to others mind because then they would never get to understand their view points.

“This will begin tomorrow morning once you enter the Great Hall for breakfast and you cannot avoid it. There will be severe punishment for those who try, but if we don't unite together the future will be even worst then you can imagine. Some of you who have the curiosity that killed the cat will find out your person before they are unveiled, but you will have to try hard.

“The faculty has chosen your person and agrees unanimously. Oh and no going into the forbidden forest, 3^rd floor corridor and the rest the prefects will inform you of all the other forbidden places. You are all dismissed.”

Back in the Slytherin Common Room

“Oh this will be the worst year yet,” whined Pansy as she sat down next Draco on the green couch to pout.

Draco quietly moves away from her with a disgusted look on his face. “I agree,” stated Draco.

“I don't get it… so I'll read someone else's mind how?? Does it show up in a book???” said Goyle in a befuddled.

<Look at the company I have sounding Me.> Draco thought rolling his eyes.

“Yea, how do we keep it from happening, and make it happen?? I…if…if it is in a book I won't be able to read it… 'cause … 'cause I can't read.”

Draco stared at Crabbe with disbelief for a moment and then shrugged it off.

<Figures, I knew he wasn't smart- no that's not right, I knew he didn't have brain.>

“Draco,” Pansy whined, “Why don't we sneak out and take a walk around the lake??”

“Pansy, I told you last year,” pausing for effect, “I will walk around the lake with you and do whatever else is in your sick mind, when my father wins the 'I Care' Wizarding Award.” Draco said, with hints of aggravation and sarcasm in his voice. “I went with you once and that was ENOUGH.”

Pansy looked like she was going to throw a fit. ”Draco!?!?”

He got up to leave for the boys' dormitories as he listened to her cry his name.

He began to review what he knew was going to happen the next day with 'Dumbledore's great idea'

· I would be sharing most of my thoughts with another person

· I won't know who it is

· I can't stop it from happening

· I won’t know who it is

· It will be someone from another house

· I won’t know who it is

· It will be someone either in their 5^th,6^th, or 7^th year

· I won't know who it is

· The teachers picked my person

<Oo yea this should be LOADS of fun. Whoopee.> He thought coldly. He was extremely dreading the next day

As he crawled into bed that night, he thought <Tomorrow, will be a long day.>

“*”*”*”*”*”**”*”*”*”*”*”*”*”

PLEASE REVIEW!! But be kind it’s my first fan fic!! The first chapter is kind of boring, but still keep reading!! Hope you enjoy!!!!!

2. Hearing a Voice

Chapter 2- Hearing a Voice

As Draco got up he tried to remember the dream he had, had the previous night. <Ah yes, it was, about getting my revenge on the littlest Weasley. For some reason I can't remember how it ends we'll just have to wait and see, in real life.>

On Draco's way to the Great Hall flanked by Crabbe and Goyle, he past by a giggling Ginny Weasley, and Luna Lovegood. “Well Weasley, too bad Professor Umbridge didn't follow through with taking away all the Weasleys from the school. It would save the rest of us from throwing up from looking at you family.”

“Ha, ha, ha Malfoy, the only reason your still here is because then the rest of us can practice our latest hexes and curses on you. Otherwise, you could be out of here just like Professor Umbridge and your father,” hissed Ginny.

“Oh you think are almighty, right? Just because you helped your Precious Potter, last year? Well, you'll be dead just like him.” Draco said coolly.

“A team is always the best. We are all equals.” Luna said dreamily.

“You know what Luna we don't have to deal with him. Come on. Let's go.” Ginny stated, beginning to get aggravated.

“Oh and Weasel, You can tell Precious Potter he is dead.” Draco called after them.

<Great, now I go to the Great Hall and have someone reading my every thought. That I don't know. Wonderful World I live in isn't it?> Thought Draco as he strolled into the Great Hall.

<Hello??> Thought his person. <Are you in the Great Hall yet?>

<Yes> Thought Draco <Your going to be annoying aren't you?>

<I've been told I am extremely annoying so yes.> the other person thought.

<So do you think this a stupid idea as much as I do?> thought Draco.

<Yes, I guess that is good isn't it?>

<So I know you can't tell me who you are but do you have something I can call you?> Draco thought as he looked over his schedule.

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday

9:00 Potions Transfiguration Herbology D.A.D.A. Diviation

10:00 Runes Potions Charms D.A.D.A. Runes

11:00 Transfiguration Potions Charms Potions Transfiguration

<I'd say the same. Give me the rest of the day.>

<Ok>

<Wait,> thought Draco, <I'll hear you trying to think of a name any ways.>

<Ok, you're right. I think this new thing is going to take some getting used to.>

"Do you hear someone in your head Draco? I can't get it out of my head. Make it stop. Make it stop!” Goyle whined he even stopped eating because of the voice. Draco rolled his eyes. <Sometimes I wonder why I allow him to hang out with me.>

<You think a lot of your self don't you?> said the other person.

<Well you were so quiet I forgot about you, but yes. I do.> Thought Draco firmly. He finally began to eat. He had been so preoccupied with whoever it was in his head that he also forgot to.

Dumbledore stood up to address the entire Great Hall.

“I believe that all of you have at least heard your person already. Now, some of the things that I neglected to mention yesterday, were that they can at sometimes if they concentrate hard enough see what you see but until they know who you are, they will see things blurry.”

<Great>Draco thought, <Now you see where I am or what is going on around me!>

But at the same time another person's thoughts entered his mind. <Wonderful, now you could even spy on me!>

<Why would I want too?!> Both of them thought at the same time.

<WHATEVER!!> Thought the other person.

So Draco went back to listening to Dumbledore.

“You cannot abuse this new ability. The charms on it will not allow you. If you find you have any troubles with this please ask a teacher. Thank you and have a wonderful day.”

As Draco got up to go to Potions, he looked at Goyle and Crabbe to see them looking absolutely horrified. <Now, off to Potions where I get to watch Potter be humiliated by Professor Snape. Well, at least there are some good things today.>

Soon after he past the Hufflepuff table, Crabbe and Goyle finally caught on that he had left and got up to follow him out. <Well it took them long enough to realized I left.>

<SORRY!!! Someone isn't to happy today are we??>

<I'm not talking> Draco almost stuck out his tongue at this point he was so into it.

<Why?>

<Good>

All though Draco didn't notice, someone at the Gryffindor table let out a very loud, “AAAAAAAAAGGGG!!!!!” Then the person quickly looked around to see who saw and quickly left the Great Hall.

<And you thought I was going to be annoying.> stated the other person in Draco's mind.

<So, how long this day will feel??>

<Great.> The other person thought.

<So your in 6^th year aren't you?> the other thought, again.

<Why? And what gave you that impression?>

<Oh… What year are you in? It is only fair for me to know.> Thought Draco while he entered the dungeons.

<5^th>

Draco slightly nodded to Professor Snape before taking his seat in the class. He got out his scroll and favorite, top of the line feather pen. Once the rest of the class was there Professor Snape told them to pass up their summer homework, and then to open to page 5 in The Art of Potion Making Year 6 by Mallevin Markings.

"For the next week we will be studying the 'Pensieve Potion.' It and a part of the person who you want to their past will allow you to see a day in their life or sometimes just an hour depending on the strength of the potion. Some of you will be able to spend a day...While others," turning to look at Harry and Neville, "will only last a half an hour.

"Up on the board is a list of the ingredients, copy them down. You will need it for your homework. We will not begin make it until Wednesday or maybe later tomorrow. You do have double potions tomorrow after all." For awhile after that Snape rambled on about how it is important to pay attention during class and what potions can do for you if you are at it... So on and so forth.

<I'm not missing anything. Even if I was I could just get the notes off someone else.>

<AAAAAHHHHH!!! Transfiguration, OK? Now can I go to back to what I was doing not that I stopped it was although easier to take notes when you are NOT Talking in MY HEAD!!>

<My, my quite a temper you have there don't you.>

It was just about the end of class so Snape told everyone the homework. "I want a 2, 16cm parchments on how and why each ingredient affects the Pensieve Potion." Groans rung through the class as Snape dismissed them.

As Draco made his towards Transfiguration, he once again ran into Ginny Weasley. Except, this time he literally ran into her causing all of both of their books to scatter across the floor.

"Well, if it isn't Ferret boy Malfoy." She said.

"Watch where you're going Weasley, don't run into things you can't afford." Draco stated.

"Maybe you should watch where you are going for a change." She said coolly while picking up her last book and walking away.

Once Draco picked up his last book the voice entered his head again.

<Neither.>

<Oh...>

<Next??>

<Transfiguration, what do you have?>

As Draco entered the Professor McGonagall's classroom and sat down he realized that he didn't have his Transfiguration book and Ginny had it and he had her Potions book.

<Uhh-Ohh, McGonagall is going to screw me.>

<Snape is going to kill me> thought the other person at the same time.

<What did you do?> both thought.

thought Draco.

<Are you in Gryffindor?> Draco thought.

<Maybe, Why?> the other thought unsurely.

<Yeah>

“Mr. Malfoy did you not hear me say to get out your Transfiguration book?” Professor McGonagall asked.

“Well… By mistake I picked up someone else's book.” Draco said quietly.

“Lost your book? 20 points from Slytherin, Mr. Malfoy it is only the first day of classes. How could you lose your book?” McGonagall asked.

“Well…”

“Never mind, you'll just have to deal without it and pay even closer attention.” McGonagall said, cutting him off. After that she turned around and began to teach once more.

<Yeah…right, like I'm going to pay even closer attention.> Draco thought sarcastically.

<Let me guess, you got the 'Pay more Attention than' Speech right?> the other person questioned.

<Oh… Are you by any chance friends with Mudblood Granger? Because, you actually spend time paying attention.>

<NeF>

<Why?>

< Right... I'm sure> they thought sarcastically.

<Well, I now know you are a guy> Thought the other person.

<Do you know of anything for you?> thought Draco.

<Not the slightest, maybe something that has to do with fire… Some people tell me I have a “fiery” spirit…> they thought unsurely.

<Well, don't you know your Latin. But it might be too long. Can we shorten it?> they thought surprised.

<Ok… How about Flamae? The pronunciation of it is Flam-aye right? Whatever... Now, let's making yours...>

<Hey!!>

<Yea PBBH that is hilarious.> he thought sarcastically

<NONONO!!> While thinking this, by accident Draco said “no!” out loud.

“Mr. Malfoy is there a problem? Almost the entire period I have seen your face change from one expression to another and now you even interrupt my class you of all the people in this class should pay attention because you don't have your book. Another 20 points from Slytherin" McGonagall said pronouncing every syllable in the word twenty.

<McGonagall busted you didn't she?> thought Flamae.

<Yeah... And it is your fault.>

< What did I do Beep?>

<Oh, bloody fantastic fun it is Flamae. Bloody fantastic!! I'm so glad you are amusing yourself!!>

Unknown to him, floors below him in the dungeons, a girl burst out laughing disturbing her class and interrupting a very annoyed Snape...

End of Chapter 2

THANX to everyone who reviewed!! I was going to wait but it is already written sooo… Well PLEASE review!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you liked it!!!

3. Food fight

Chapter 3- Food Fight/ D.A.D.A.

Draco was now able to laugh and just act like he did not like his nickname he was give by Flamae. He knew she liked it a lot. After McGonagall’s class he went to find Ginny to give back her book. But that was awhile ago he was currently at lunch. Aside from what he thought at the beginning, to he liked having someone who could understand him, would listen and not judge him because she knew who he was. All in all it was a pretty good day. He knew every day was like this he would be dieing to know who Flamae was before Christmas. And from what he heard of her thoughts, she felt the same.

It had been 15 minutes since he heard a control thought or she intentionally thought to him. But he had a float of thoughts travel his head.

<Hey, I’m getting bored.>

<Beep…>

<Flamae…>

<Too bad I don’t care…> and then an uncontrolled thought came through.

<I’m touched by the depth of your affection for me Flamae.> he thought sarcastically.

<Oh yes I deeply care about you Beep.> she thought sarcastically thought back. <Look,> Flamae thought <I’m sorry but do you have any friends that you know who they are.>

<Sure>

<No>

<Yes>

<No>

<Yes>

<No>

<Yes>

<No>

<Yes>

<No>

<Yes>

<No>

<We’ve gone over this, I’m not TALKING>

For the second time today, the same Gryffindor left out a loud “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” but this time she held a smile on her face. Some people gave her concerned looks, especially the girl she had been talking to before she spaced out and screamed.

<Ok>

<Flamae, Do you know what Dumbledore meant by almost everyone will have someone from a different house?>

<There are reliable rumors?

<Yes>

<Whatever…Beep have you ever been in a food fight?>

<No…Flamae what are you thinking?>

<Let’s liven lunch up a bit?> Then before he could even think a plate flipped over and hit someone in the face over by the Gryffindor table. And for some reason he had a feeling it wasn’t an accident. Flamae and her wand had something to do with it. Before anyone could say “duck” a full fledge food fight was in action in the Great Hall. Everything from pie to peanut butter sandwiches were flying through the air. After about 3 minutes Draco stood up and dunked Pansy’s pug face into her food. She let out a scream but with all the other things going on she was barely heard. Some of the teachers looked terrified others couldn’t hold in their laughter. McGonagall was looking very disturbed but after a piece of bread covered in peanut butter came up and hit Snape in the face she was rolling in laughter. Even Dumbledore was enjoying the food fight. Just about everyone in the Great Hall was either participating or laughing at those who were besides Snape, who was currently covered in peanut butter. The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher was taking part in the food fight as well, but he was the only teacher who was.

<Why?>

<Why?>

<Azkaban- bloody Deatheater.>

<What?!?>

<Yea>

<What would you say if I said I’m… supposed to become a Deatheater?> thought Draco again.

<yea, and I’m considering it, I mean, everyone already thinks I am and I won’t ever fight on the same side as Potter. I might die if I refuse.>

<No>

<Wow…>

<Yep, lucky me.> Draco suddenly had a sandwich hit him in the face. He then realized the food fight was still going on. <Well, I better go back to my room and get cleaned up before D.A.D.A., good bye food fight!>

<Ha, ha, ha, ha I better go to.>

<Hey what on this holy earth would give you that idea?> Draco almost let a smile creep on to his face. As he neared the door he saw Ginny exiting as well covered in food from head to toe.

“Well, look who it is, the littlest Weasel. Look I know you can’t afford too much but can’t you dress better than that?”

“I would say the same, except I would add that, you don’t have copy everything I do.”

<AHH! How could she say that?>

“I would have to say that you watch your mouth Weasley. You don’t know what it will do next. And your face, you’ll never I don’t think you know what that might say either, because if you did you would probably never show it.” Draco hissed back with hatred. And with that they began their staring contest.

<Horrid, rude, evil, bastard, annoying, prat, son of a…> thought Flamae, but Draco thought something at the same time.

<Annoying, rude, goody-good, poor, red head…>

<Who are you talking about?> both of them thought at the same time.

<NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!> Both of them thought at the same time again.

<Stop it!!> thought Flamae.

<Why? What’s to you?>

<Why?>

<Maybe>

<Why?>

<You’re getting on my nerves!!!>

<Sorry!!>

<BEEP!!!! Like I said before YOU SOUND LIKE A TWO YEAR OLD!!>

<Too bad!!> Just about then Ginny stomped off in the direction of the Gryffindor Common Room.

<How could he say something like that? He doesn’t even have a heart. I will not let him get to me, I will not let him get to me…> And so Flamae went on chanting.

<I’m sorry ok!! But I can’t do that I can walk as far as Mars and I still won’t be gone to you. So just tell me what is going on??>

<Woe, woe, Flamae, slow down please? Who was it?>

<Ok>

It was Draco’s first Defense Against the Dark Arts with the new teacher. And he began the class a little… differently. Everyone showed up on time waiting to see what the new teacher was like. The only thing amiss was… their new teacher. Although they had already seen from the food fight in the previous period; cough, cough; he as not like the other teachers. Well they were all waiting to see just how different he was from the rest. Suddenly from the back of the room shot a stunner hitting a student and wearing off after a moment. But the thing was when everyone looked back there was nothing but air in the back of the class room. Then quickly from the front of the classroom another stunner with the same effect hit a student the others whipped their heads around just to see what in the world was going on and once again were only greeted with air.

<Sorry>Just then a voice floated over the class. “Well it seems I came into the wrong class. I thought this was my Defense Against the Dark Arts for 7^th years looks more like 2^nd. I have just sent 2 stunners on a 2 of your fellow students, and all you can do is whip your heads around looking for the cause of it. Tisk, Tisk.

“Now I could have sworn that Dumbledore said there were some students with TALENT in here but so far I have not seen any.” And with that he suddenly materialized leaning against the chalkboard. He was probably late twenties; he had blonde hair and sharp edges on his face that enhanced his dark eyes. “Hello I’m your new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher and I expect a little more effort in my classes. My name is Professor Hunter. And why on earth would your have books on your desk?” As he uttered the word books with an almost complete confusion, he stood up and walked out of the classroom and then called back, “Well are you going to sit during my D.A.D.A. class? I don’t think so come on outside. NOW!!” Then the students ran out of the door and followed their Professor out the door.

Their professor then led them all the way outside by the lake. “Now, this curriculum will be a lot different then the lessons you had last year, if not even the year before. Just to go over some of the topics would be things like- detecting where someone is under the disillusion charm, and what will make them visible and will stun them at the same time; controlling the power of your spells like I did in the classroom as to not stun your fellow classmates completely; and some other less complicated Auror training. We are about to face war we must know how to do these things; it will allow you to help. During the first war, I was in the same place you are all in now I know how you feel from my past and present. I’m always ready to listen. Most of our classes will take place outside. Sometimes I will start class the same way I did today, others will be slightly different. Always be ready. Or as someone I know would say, ‘CONSTANT VIGALANCE.’ Now class almost over, no homework! Oh and don’t bring your books tomorrow you won’t need them. You probably won’t even need them for the rest of the year. But keep them just in case. DIMISSED!!”

End of Chapter 3

5. Taking things into their hands

The Reason- The Voice

Chapter 4- Taking things In their Own Hands

A month had past before something more interesting happened. Draco was sitting in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Well, he would be sitting if he was in last any other teachers’ class besides this one and Care of Magical Creatures. He was really standing outside with the rest of his class trying to find their teacher who was under the disillusionment charm!! Well you couldn’t exactly call it losing their teacher…or leaving their teacher… or anything else really… At the beginning of class they saw Professor Hunter or at least they thought so but currently they weren’t too sure. Draco mussed to himself.

<Very nice I DON’T CARE!!> Flamae thought. They were both getting used to the uncontrolled thoughts but the ones they thought deliberately they couldn’t ignore.

“Well, this is certainly sad!! I have had you for 2 weeks and ½ now but you still can’t do anything better. I mean at least you could have started throwing hexes every which way there is 22 of you and one of me, after all!!” as the familiar sarcastic voice floated over the air. Draco threw a hex over to where the voice came from. “Good try Draco. But I can throw my voice quite well hence You MISSED!!” Then Professor Hunter appeared behind Draco, causing Susan Bones and her friends to jump. “Today we will be learning what to listen and look for if someone is under the charm. Now, I talked to Professor Flitwick he said you haven’t learned it yet soo… I will cast it on one group of students and the others will try to find them. Ok and go!” With that and a flick of his wand half of the class was disillusioned. Draco was on the team that trying to find those under the disillusion charm. As the class processed, Draco found 4 Hufflepuffs and 2 Slytherins. <I’m pretty good at this!!>

<Well, you are quite kind aren’t you Flamae?>

<well, I couldn’t sleep last time because you couldn’t sleep!!! Do you know what it is like to hear someone else’s voice over your dreams all night?? I woke up at least 5 times because of YOU!!!>

<You’re unbelievable you know that?>

“Ok class time is almost up!! You are getting…better!! See ya tomorrow!!” Professor Hunter announced to his class and they all began to gather their books for their next class.

<Feisty!!>

<You couldn’t be more bloody right!! Gerr!!!!> Draco rolled his eyes. She was getting to be almost too much!! At the beginning they both had been a little shy but… well… now this!! Next, he was going to library he didn’t have anymore classes. As he walked in and went to a table without anyone there and got out a piece of parchment to write down everything he knew about Flamae.

· 6^th year

· Girl

· Feisty

· Sarcastic

· Likes Quidditch

· Not Slytherin

· Or Hufflepuff

· So she’s in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw

· Brother(s)

· …

<you forgot a couple, came up with your name as Beep, wants to strangle you, wants to know who you are, why you are doin this, and why you acted like a two year old> Flamae’s clear voice floated into his thought chain.

<Ha, ha, ha very funny- hilarious even!! I forgot that you can see the list and hear me make it!!>

<Yep>

<Mhmhmm…And how exactly do you plan doing that??>

<Well… that is very good question…>

<Who?>

<Whatever, so I’ll buy a butterbeer for you and I’ll watch from outside to see who comes out with it?>

<Nope>

<Jerk>

<I’m shocked at your words Flamae>

< Do you see anyone rolling their eyes from where you are?>

<Ha ha ha I’m laughing out loud> he thought sarcastically.

6. Part 2 of ch5 The Rendezvous of Disaster

The reason- The Voice

The Rendezvous of Disaster

It was the Hogsmeade Weekend where he was supposed to find out who Flamae was. Draco had already placed the order for the butterbeer and meal at the Three Broomsticks and was wandering around Hogsmeade. He decided to go into Quality Quidditch Supplies. He entered the shop quickly followed by Crabbe and Goyle.

<Yes> “Ridiculous” Draco muttered under his breath. He knew she was just as annoying as he was and she knew he was just as annoying as she was. So they both used it to their own advantages.

Draco thought

<Uh-hu>

<What?> Draco thought confused, <You are nutters’ woman>

<Right>

<Yea>

<Ok>

<Who?>

<Right> he thought < You know I don’t believe you right?>

<Yep>

<YES!! Oh eager one!!!>

<I’m not that eager!!>

<Yes!! You!! Are!!> Flamae thought as Draco entered the Three Broomsticks and walked up to the counter. “You remember our deal right?” Draco asked lowly.

“Yes you want to know who took the drink and the meal?” the bartender answered. “You know I’m not sure if I remember right?” he added before suggesting that if he was paid a little more he would remember. <20 sickles should be enough for him to remember> Setting the money down on the counter.

<that’s my line!!!>

<and it’s the WEEKEND!! What part of that do you not understand??> “She had long dirty blonde hair, kind of stared into outer space all the time. Afterwards, another girl walked over to her. Then they went to sit down.” The bartended answered.

“You MEAN SHE’S STILL HERE?”

<It’s probably loony Lovegood and I’m an idiot!! It didn’t sound like Lovegood though…>

“I don’t know! I wasn’t stalking her that’s what you are doing!”

“I’m not stalking her!!”

“That’s what the other girl told me!! I just was going on what they said!!”

“What did the other girl look like!??” Draco demanded beginning to fume at the mouth. <Flamae!!>

<Oh what in the world is troubling your poor little mind?> Flamae thought in a sweet little voice.

<YOU!!!> “What did the other girl look like!!???” he demanded again when the bartended didn’t answer.

“Look I don’t know I saw the first one with my good eye!!! Not her!!”

“Your good eye?” he repeated as the man nodded. “What the hell does that mean!!??” Draco was now boiling mad.

<Flamae! Do you have any idea what he is talking about??>

<Its means you’ll have to wait and see. Look, if you think you know who I am, why don’t you just find me?> and with that surprising Draco stormed out of the Three Broomsticks to take her advice. Though it took him a moment to realize that Crabbe and Goyle weren’t with him, he quickly looked back to see they were eating, of course. But when he looked back for a second time he realized that Luna and Ginny were sitting at a table. <Ginny must have been the friend!! That would make sense if it was Lovegood. He went back to see if it was her but if it wasn’t…

“Flam-Flamae?” Draco asked quietly but managed to cough instead once he got to the table. He then decided it would be best to start insulting them to stop embarrassment. “Well, you two are all alone. Couldn’t get anyone brave enough to come with you??”

“Malfoy, just because you are lonely and don’t have any real friends. Doesn’t mean no one else does either.” Ginny silkily replied.

“Oh yea, bloody right!!” He replied.

“So then why are you here?”

“It seemed like the perfect time to insult you.”

“Is that your entire life? Making other people feel bad? Because if it is; that’s pretty pathetic!!” Ginny spat at him as they got up to leave. Draco left in the other direction to go get Crabbe and Goyle.

<Yes, yes you are…Draco>

<Yep>

<I’m an idiot>

<Yep>

<No>

<Great>

<Evil, maybe you are in Slytherin>

<Evil>

<Yep, thank you very much>

<You’re unbelievable>

<Why?>

<Great, I thought you already covered that>

<Really? Like what?>

<Really?>

<Mhmhmm…> Draco’s eye brows were raised as he heard her say how other things made so much sense. He decided that it would be better if he left before he met up with Flamae.

<Oh well this should be wonderful!! You know who I am, but I don’t know who you are!!! Oh and I haven’t forgotten your threat to strangle me so I have to watch out for a murdering mad woman!! Maybe that’s how I’ll look for you. There can’t be that many crazy evil women at Hogwarts!!!> He could tell she was laughing at him. It was almost like a sense but he knew she was.

<Ha, ha, ha I’m laughing out loud>

Thanks to everyone who reviewed!!! It really encourages me!!! Thanx to all the reviewers!!!! Please Review again!!!

7. Flamae more annoying?? Yes or no??

Flamae more annoying?? Yes or no??

Chapter 6

Draco had almost died of annoyance from Flamae. For the next days after she found out who he was she would sing, “I know who you but you don’t know who I am!” all day or other things like that. About 2 months had past since she found out and it was eating him up that he still didn’t know who she was. He wouldn’t admit it or even think it but he was beginning to really like Flamae- who ever she was. So it was…December. Christmas was in about a week. He was going to be going home for Christmas- like usual. Other thing will always be the same too. It was Wednesday, and well that meant that it was a school day.

<Oh, ok…tell me who you are please?? You know who I am so all you have to do is walk right up to me and tell me!!>

<No!! I already told you!! I’m not telling!!>

<Tell!>

<No!!>

<Fine, but all I’ll say later is you started it!! Yes>

<No>

<Yes>

<No>

<Yes>

<No>

<Yes!!!>

<No!!!>

<YES!!!>

<I’m sorry it’s a crime to want to do work>

<AAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!>

<Hey!! That’s mean!!> Draco thought pretending to be offended.

<Look if you don’t shut up I’m going to begin thinking that song again!!!> Flamae threatened.

<NO!!! That’s cruel and unusual punishment!!!>

<Enough!! I get the point!! Evil girl!! You really should be in Slytherin!! Merlin!!!>

<That’s why you like me sooo much!!>

<Yea bloody right!!!> “Mr. Malfoy!! Are you listening to me!! I just called on you 5 times in a row!! You should pay more attention!!! 10 points from Slytherin!! Maybe you should stay after class!!! Now, I’ll repeat the question one more time and that is it!! What is the incantation to turn a already transfigured quill into a piece of parchment??” Professor McGonagall said annoyed beyond the border.

“Err…Parchenote??”

“Wrong!! I already told the class that it was almost the same that it is to get the parch into the quill. Reparchendo!!”

<Ha, ha, ha, indeed!!>

<indeed!!>

(AN: Don’t mean to skip sooooo much but I needed too!!)

Christmas Break

Draco was currently sitting at the dinner table with his mother, a couple days before Christmas. He was quite happy to get away from the classrooms and the school during Christmas break but one problem. There was one person who couldn’t get away from and like the weekends- she was hyper! (In his view at least!!)

<Hello!! Isn’t it a lovely day!! I love it when it is like this!!>

He thought and sighed, <You told only 5 times in the last HOUR!!!>

<Well, I’m sorry I enjoy my self over break like all human beings!! Not like you would know anything about THAT!!>

<Aww…I so sorry!! I am I annoying??? I hadn’t noticed!!! Are you going to start crying soon??>

<YOU KNOW WHAT???> Draco was now getting a smirk on his face trying deeply to not frown so his parent wouldn’t realize anyhitng.

Flamae thought in an angel like voice.

“Draco, dear, why are you cutting your chicken in to mincemeat?” His mother inquired, befuddled. When he didn’t answer she called “Draco??” one more time. He then replied with a short yes. She shrugged her shoulders and continued her dinner.

“Draco, could you please pass the butter?” His mother asked a little while later.

<Aww… so sorry are they copyrighted to you??> but instead of replying only in his head he started screaming.

“SHUT UP ALREADY!! YOU ARE THE MOST ANNOYING PERSON I EVER MET!! Can’t you be quiet for just one moment!!! I would like to finish my dinner!!” Draco then realized by the look on his mothers horrified face, how that must of sounded and quickly passed the butter. His mother however ran from the room sobbing. <She probably going to call the mental institute>

<Don’t even go there!>

<Possibly…What is it?>

Thanx 4 all of the reviews!! They were really gr8!!!! PLEASE REVIEW AGAIN!!! The more the faster work. I know the chapters have been slow and short recently but school and writing a book and this!!! But compared to other authors is no excuse so well what ever!! I’m trying to fast forward or go quicker but it is hard to skip around too much!! By the way does anyone have anythoughts on what voldemort’s plan for this year is that could help me??? I have ideas for like the war and all but not soo sure on that!! SOOO any help would be overly appreciated!!!

8. The present

The reason VII

Chapter 7-The present

Draco was now in his room on Christmas morning. After his out burst, his mother indeed did call the mental institute. But after a quick chat about “how could a Malfoy be crazy?” things settled down. Draco was beginning to realize that Flamae (still unknown identity) was someone he would hang out with- for fun and enjoy. He had to admit he would rather hang out with her than Pansy, Goyle, or Crabbe, but he had to. Although she was extremely annoying, talkative, and rude, he liked not because she was “smart,” or “girly,” or anything like that. He liked her because she was just like him but in the exact same moment the strict opposite. <Although> he thought <All of that might change after I found out who she was.>

<Oh!! I get so much pleasure from it though!! Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep…>

<STOP!!>

<BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP…>

<Beep>Draco sighed, and rubbed his temples with his finger tips. <You know you are the most annoying person I have ever met>

<Oh yea> Draco thought sarcastically.

<No, Why?>

<I’m just curious!! Gosh what is your problem??>

<NOTHING!! And if there was, it would be none of your bloody business anyways!!>

<Rearr..!!>

<Whoff!!>

<You make no sense! First your meowing at me now your are barking. How does this have anything to do with what I said?> In his mind he could pretty much picture a girl sitting somewhere dissolving into laughter over their conversation.

<Well, you didn’t want me to make cat noises because that called you a girl, so a barked at you does that mean you are a boy??>

<Fine!! Be like that!!> Just then an owl with a small rectangle box flew in the window. Draco was quite surprised having already received all of his presents. He thought with a wondering scowl on his face. But then on the card was printed four little words.

From: Flamae

Merry Christmas!!!

<You sent me a present?> Draco thought.

<Whatever> He quickly opened the box in side was a lone soft pale yellow rectangle with a small impression of W&W. <You. Got. Me. Butter.>

<Yes!! But it is very special butter!! It will never run out!!!> and in almost a lower voice thought, <and some other minor side effects> He could once again picture a girl giggling uncontrollably in his mind. After a couple moments of massaging the bridge of his nose, he almost laughed himself. Almost.

<Sure…>

<Good!!!>

<And…?>

<And…?>

<IT’S. NOT. A COM-PLI-MENT.>

Draco unconsciously raised an eyebrow. <Whatever>

Yea I know it is short but I anted to put something up and my school work is taking away a lot of my free time. *sniff* And I don’t like it, but I have to do it. Well, I’ll put another half or whatever chapter up another time. I didn’t think it was fair to not put up anything u know??

Well please review!!!

10. And some other things

The Reason IX

“…And some other stuff”

Chapter 9

Draco had returned to school after Christmas break. It was about Mid-January. Nothing terribly exciting had happened since Christmas break. Actually at the exact moment he was sitting at his Slytherin table buttering some toast…

<That’s nice and normally I would care, I really would but I have an exam next period so shut up!!>

<What’s your problem?>

<Mean>

<one-I’m not talking and two- why?>

<Because I said so!!> Then she paused. <Your buttering bread right?>

<Curious, are you?>

<Whatever>Crabbe suddenly pointed at Draco and started saying…something. It was quite hard to understand anything he was saying. Then more people started pointing at him. <Okay why are they looking, and pointing at me?>

<Cricket, Cricket, Cricket…>

<Flamae…>

< Cricket, Cricket, Cricket…>

<I’m guessing!!>

<Flamae, I don’t trust you with a hair bush! What did you do?> “Draco, your hair!! Its…It’s…Its WEASLEY RED!!! And what is this?” Pansy asked picking up a note sticking out from under his plate. He opened it wondering what on Earth it was. It read:

Merry Christmas!!!

“…and some other stuff”

Three things:

Butter

Magic

Connections

Its all you need!!

Love from:

The one and only Flamae

<Well, even if it was me, you shouldn’t just assume!! It makes an arse out of everybody!!!>

<FLAMAE!!!!!!! YOU. TURNED. MY HAIR. RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>

<I’m turning it back right now!!>

And with a wave of his wand pointed at his hair he shouted a spell he had learned as a child when his hair got dyed for Halloween… But nothing happened….Or at least to his hair… He looked down and found himself in Gryffindor robes.

At the top of his lungs he shouted “Flamae” as loud as he possibly could.

<You don’t have to yell! You deserve it for interrupting me studying!>Draco started walking toward the Great Hall Doors to leave. On his way he bumped into someone. They were laughing extremely hard. “What do you want Weasley?”

“Oh I just had to see the red haired Draco!! And it was worth it!!” the red head girl said to Draco.

“Shut up!!” and with that he stalked off to go outside, leaving Ginny behind to continue laughing. He stepped outside and just kept walking. He finally got a tree on the side of the lake and sat down. From the school’s perspective you couldn’t see him, so he didn’t think he would have anyone coming out and finding him.

<That’s great reason. You call me that because I hate it. How considerate.>

<You’ve got no room to talk Beep!>

<Hey>

<Let’s think…Hmm… MY HAIR IS RED!!>

<And…>

<MY HAIR IS RED BECAUSE OF YOU!!> Draco thought

<Who?>

<I’m taking a test!! REMBER?>

<Yea, yea, just name one?>

<Me>

<Nu-uh!!! She wouldn’t say that!! Would she?>

<Good>

A few minutes pass. Still silence.

<So, whatcha doing?>Draco thinks.

<OH MY GOSH!!! Shut up!!! You know what I just got a great idea!! He-he-he!!!> Inner thoughts <Draco. Test. Revenge. Trouble.>

<Flamae…What are you going to do?> Draco thought unsurely

<He-he-he!!>

<You’re scaring me!!!>

<He-he-he!!>

<Stop!!>

<Ok! I said stop not TORTURE!!!>

<Oh, too bad!! Here it goes!! I have a plan!!! You don’t know!!! But when you find out you’re probably going to blow!! You won’t know until this time next month!! Too Bad for you!!! He-he-he, la-la!!! I have a plan!!! You don’t know!!! But when you find out you’re probably going to blow!! You won’t know until this time next month!! Too Bad for you!!! He-he-he, la-la!!!>

<What!!!> Draco got up and ran to the door, through the hallway and opened the doors to the Great Hall only to find…no one there?

<ha-ha JUST KIDDING!!! Its one period before lunch!!>

<No, I don’t know what.>

<Nope>

<Yep>

Mid February-exactly a month late-but that was a Saturday instead of a week day!

Draco tried to think about it but he couldn’t help little details to seep out to Flamae. He was going to get revenge!! Ultimate revenge!!! Ok well it wasn’t that great but he needed to get back at her some how!!

Once again it was breakfast time. The owls swooped in from above as usual. The one he was looking for came down and landed on the Gryffindor table like thought. He addressed it to Flamae so it would find her.

<….but that can’t be right.> he thought. <It landed right in front of a empty space at the table.> Then even worse it started running out of the door. Then right before the owl stepped out of the door a foot appeared. He immediately knew the owl had indeed found Flamae. She was under an invisibility cloak.

“Oh great!” he said as he began to chance after it. <It was supposed to turn her hair blonde!!>

<Uh-oh!!>

<He-he-he>

<Whatever> She thought back.

But then while he was chasing her he saw Blaise Zabini starring into space. Draco stopped to say hi and why he was out in the hall when everyone else was in the Great Hall. But when he snapped his fingers he turned to Draco with eyes that only got that look from one person. Voldemort.

Ohhh!! Don’t you want to know what happens!!! OK well I need you to VOTE again!! If you want to have short chapters but more of them or long ones and wait the same time as you do now???

OVERALL REVIEW!!

11. The Bet

The Reason- X

Chapter 10

Draco had no idea what to do. Although, his whole life he had been surrounded by dark arts, he had never been told what to do in a situation like this. Frozen he starred at his friend. <Bloody. Hell.>

“STUPEFY!!” a deep vice called to the right of Draco and Blaise. The red beam of light hit Blaise directly on target. He fell to the ground with a soft thud. Draco turned his head to see who was there but to his amazement saw nothing or no one for that matter. Then suddenly his defense against the dark arts teacher appeared out of thin air. The dark expression looked foreign on his face.

“Come on, Draco. We have to get him to Dumbledore.” Were the only words that escaped his lips. Draco not being able to respond just helped him carry his classmate towards the office of the headmaster. <Flamae… did you see that? Are you there?>

<No, I’m not! I just left mind and my body behind and traveled to MARS!! Of course I’m here, you git!> Flamae responded.

<Whatever> “Professor,” Draco asked looking up at him, “You aren’t you not allowed to throw spells at students?”

“On a normal basis? …No. But in my class or under circumstances yes.”

<OK, right…>

<You should listen to him!> Flamae commanded.

<Sure! Well why told you tell whoever is talking then to shut up! NOT me!>

<Uh!> Draco rolled his eyes at her response. “Hmm…Draco I didn’t ask before, but why do you have red hair?” Professor Hunter asked curiously amused.

“I have a very humorous friend, who would enjoy driving me off a cliff.” He said as his eyes narrowed, remembering why he was out in the hall in the first place. “AHH! I lost her!” Shutting his eyes tightly.

“Ah…”

“Draco, why don’t you run off to class?”

“Oh, no! It’s fine.”

“No, I don’t think that McGonagall will be too pleased if you miss class.” His professor turned to look at him with a smug smile knowing Draco wasn’t really looking forward to going to class. Draco began to trudge off in the direction of Professor McGonagall’s classroom.

<Teachers! They think they know everything!>

<I’m trying to learn here!!> Flamae shot back quickly.

That night at dinner Dumbledore may an announcement about the incident with Blaise, excluding names.

“One of our students has been found under the possession of Lord Voldemort during the day. I must continue to caution all of those with or against the side I choose, that we will all face the consequences of what is to come and has already come about.

The student involved is currently back in his house- for the time being. The only cause for this is that we, while witnessing it, still have no proof that it occurred. Voldemort tends to keep his work very clean and without proper proof that he is working this way, we can’t do much about it.” Disbelief was written on the face of every student present- all, but three. Dumbledore simply sat down and continued to eat. And that was all it took for the Slytherins to smirk but still unsure of what this all meant.

Whispers continued of the announcement for weeks. People wandered around looking for more signs of what Voldemort was up to. Rumors flew in and swept through the school quicker than a snitch on the Quidditch pitch. Draco could tell that Harry Potter and his group friends were preparing for the final battle. Teachers became stricter with rules of the Forbidden Forest and after school hours and such. March began and rules got worse.

<Three ½ more months of school!>Draco thought excitedly.

<Ugh! Don’t remind me! I think I’m going to do it though. I mean what bad can happen? You-know-who is going to win and beat Potter so if I’m on his side what’s bad?>

<NO!>

<OK?? MAYBE HE’S OK!! YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR BLOODY MIND!!>

<…Maybe…not that I care…about you>

<Sure…> Draco headed for his next class, Defense Against the Dark Arts. Today he and his classmates decided to show up invisible and try to pull one over on Professor Hunter. Draco preformed the charm and walked into the class. He didn’t see anyone but he knew they were there because he was already late and it was just stupid not to come to DADA class.

“Well, this is interesting! Professor Hunter had entered the class. “Visibility multipo.”

And everyone became visible. The students in simultaneously murmured what. Their professor had not yet told them that spell. “Today we will be taking a break from this for you have demonstrated that you know what you are doing. We will be working on Occlumency. Can someone tell me what it is?” He looks around the classroom and no one raises their hand. “Oo-K well it is the magical defense of the mind against external penetration. Does anyone know what that means?” He looks around the classroom and finds only a few students with raised hands. “Yes, Hannah, go.”

“I think, it means that it is a defense system for your brain so people can’t get into it?” Hannah answered unsurely.

<Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner! Do we have learn this?> Draco thought.

<Yes! You saw yourself what happened Blaise!>Flamae replied.

“Correct! Now judging by the amount of hands I got earlier I sure no one knows what the spell against it is, right?” Looking around he knew he was correct. “Legilimens!” he said as he pointed his wand directly at the person in the front row… Draco Malfoy.

<WOW!> Flamae thought. Suddenly Draco’s mind was reeling, oddly enough; most of the memories were not his. And there was only one other person he could think of that they might be.

An owl swooped down in front of him while he was under an invisibility cloak…

Snape sneering at him…

Feeling anger course through his body as he watched Ron, Hermione, and Harry walk off to Hogsmeade without him.

Watching the Quidditch Cup…

Waking up to see a bloody Harry Potter and a phoenix standing over him as he lay on a cold floor in a room he had never seen…

He was scowling at himself and his father in a book store…

And then he blacked out…

He awoke on the floor of the DADA room with his professor standing over him. “Are you ok?”

<Yes, you idiot! I’m just peachy! You only invaded my mind and Flamae’s!>

<Right…>

<Confused?>

“I said are you alright?” Hunter proceeded to ask again.

“Yes!”

“Maybe you should go to the Hospital Wing?”

“No! I’m fine!”

“Ok then!” He said as he stood up to address the class. “As Mr. Malfoy demonstrated, it can cause you to faint.”

“I didn’t faint! I passed out!”

Word travels fast in Hogwarts, so by dinner, everyone in school knew Draco “passed out” in DADA. The person probably gave him the worst word on it was Ron Weasley. But the funny thing was Draco wasn’t the only one. Along with him were Terry Boot, Susan Bones, and Seamus Finnigan. But some random 5^th years fainted as well. People knew that they must have been the other person on their “thought chain.” So in reality, everyone who had done it. But since he was Draco Malfoy… well, I think you get the picture.

More preparation was being made every day to help with the war. But only so much seeing as the spring break was soon approaching. Draco decided he was going to stay at Hogwarts, he knew going home would be just annoying knowing that the September deadline was coming fast too.

<You’re staying at school too?>

<Oh>

<Right>

<Yea. You know I still can’t believe you don’t think Harry is going to win the final battle!>

<Sure… I still don’t think Perfect Potter as perfect as he is, is not THAT good!>

<How considerate.> He thought sarcastically.

<Fine, I bet who ever it is it won’t be POTTER!>

<OK, well I bet it will be Harry. 5 galleons>

<5 galleons it is.>

Sorry I’m late! I was away for 2 weeks at the end of December so I couldn’t do any of my story or nothing like that! REVIEW!

13. Your a WEASLEY?

The Reason XI

Chapter 11- “… BEEP!”

A/N: Look I'm sorry I don't remember if they have spring break or not but I wanted to include it so if they didn't before- they do now.

Draco was currently at the Slytherin table it was dinner time actually. Last day of school before the weekend.

<Easter Break! Don't you love it!> Draco thought.

<And?>

<Oh, my brother, his friends and my friends.>

<Yea>

<Be quiet> Draco quietly got up from his seat and began to leave the Great Hall. He was practically was at the door by the time Crabbe and Goyle realized he left. He signaled them it was ok for them to continue stuffing their faces. He wanted to walk around the lake and just… think. When he finally got outside, he breathed in the fresh air.

<OK, choices are become a Deatheater, follow the Devil to hell, and win but might die; or I could not become a Deatheater, die, be an out cast to the family. Hmm... Really hard decision.>

<Mhmhmm...>

<I-You-AAARG!!>

<Ha, ha, ha>

<You know I really have to concentrate now, ok?

<Whatever> Just a few minutes after that he realized that he heard voices coming from the Forbidden Forest. His curiosity took over and he couldn't resist going to find out who was there. When he got there, he realized it wasn't just one person; it was quite a few people. There were Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, and Ginny Weasley. They were practicing spells.

<NeF>

<Maybe>

<Maybe? Why on earth would you even want to hangout with them?>

<...> Draco rolled his eyes, and stepped into the clearing where the group was gathered. "Well if it wasn't the Dream Team?"

"Go away, Malfoy! Just because you don't have any friends doesn't mean you have come and bother us." Ron replied.

Draco ignored that comment and continued insulting the group. "So you all are training up to beat He-who-must-not-be-named? You think that you can beat a wizard that is older than your parents?"

"Yes, we know can and we know we will!" Ginny shouted at him coming to the front of the group.

"Well, well, well, Weaslette! How are you? Still pinning after Potter and playing follow the leader?" He smirked as he crossed his arms. She just continued to glare at him.

"Oh so you are! You are even more pathetic than they are!" He said pointing at the rest of them.

"She is over me, and she isn't just a tag along, she is part of the group." Potter called defending Ginny.

"Really? You mean you include her in everything? In all your little missions and adventures? Take with you and talk to her? Really because it sure doesn’t look like it." Harry began again but Ginny held up a single hand to silence him, even though that wasn't what had stopped him, it probably had more to do with fact that Hermione placed her hand on his arm to hold him back.

"You know, you DON'T always have to be a bloody git, Beep!" Ginny called behind her as she walked away with the rest of the group. They were by the Hogwarts doors before he replied.

"Yea what if I like to be!" Draco called. And you are probably thinking, he final realized it, but he didn't really realize it until a few more moments later. You could tell by the frustrated yell that could even through the castle, as he ran towards it.

<Bingo>

***********

<Yes, for the 45^th time in the last 30 minutes!>

<Mhmhmm…>

<I’m not even going to respond to that comment!>

<You’re Ginny Weasley!>

Many people asked that I updated sooner!! How is this?

14. Turkey and Cheese?

The Reason XII

Chapter 12- Turkey and cheese?

Oh my god!! I’m sooooo sorry it didn’t upload right!!

* * * *

During the next week he kept thinking in disbelief that GINNY WEASLEY was Flamae. To him it was still unbelievable. He was even having a hard time trying to study, not that he did that much anyways. So now that they were on Easter beak, 3^rd years and up were allowed to go to Hogsmeade for one day as a special treat. So, Draco found himself wandering Hogsmeade, casually looking in some of the windows of the shop. But when he got the Three Broomsticks he saw “Flamae” along with Luna Lovegood and some of her other friends from her year in a booth eating lunch. He decides to go in and make sure that she really was Flamae. Walking up to the booth, <Flamae?> he thought.

“Yes, Draco?” She didn’t even have to turn around to know he was there. “You’re a Weasley?” Draco asked not really expecting an answer rather stupidly.

<You know what?> Flamae thought.

<What?>

<This is!> and with that she turned around and stuffed he sandwich into his mouth. “SHUT UP!” She yelled and with that she smiled sweetly and sat back down to ignore him. <You stuffed a sandwich in my mouth>

<Aren’t you a genius?>

Draco took the sandwich out of his mouth, took a bite, and placed it on her plate that was in front of her. “I can pay for my own lunch, besides you probably spent all of your life savings to pay for it so I wouldn’t want you to give me everything you worked for.” He walked away seeming to back to his usual self.

<Turkey and cheese? You should have gotten BLT.> He thought as he went over to the bar to get a butterbeer.

<What? I don’t like that kind of sandwich, problem?>

<You’re insane>

<Yes, well after hearing your voice in my head since September that happens.>

* * * *

Later that very day Draco found himself piecing together all of the different clues he should have realized that Flamae was a Weasley-- Ginny Weasley.

<Flamae- red hair, short temper- runs in family>

<Hey!>

<Duh!>

<Right…>

<Typical! That is not my point and you know it!>

<Well, if you are going to make a point at least have make sense!>

<Fine! Well if you WERE muggleborn>

<Good>

<Good> Draco thought.

<You know when you think about all of the stuff like that I can’t believe you were such a GIT!> Flamae—I mean Ginny thought.

<Oh shut up! You didn’t know right away either!> Draco replied

<Please! I’m totally over him! I liked him in my 3^rd year!>

<Still…>

<Where?>

<Uh! You are such a complete git!>

<I’m sure>

<Yep>

<I’ll think about it…>

<1 sickle>

<1 sickle?>

<Yes!>

<Fine!>

Minutes pass

Silence.

<ARGGGG!!!!! Do you think you are being cute?>

<Beep, it still fits you!>

<Right…>

* * * *

SO what do you think? I know a lot of people like when it is funny and all of that stuff and I’ll try to keep that but it has to start getting serious soon (like next chapter)! I’ll still keep funny but all but there will have to be some more serious stuff. What would Hogwarts be like without humor!

15. The Attack

The Attack

The Reason XIII

The Attack

Ok I couldn’t figure out how to start this chapter right so tell me what you think of this way to start it.

* * * * *

Draco looked into the eyes of his opponent. Just beyond them were the lake and the Forbidden Forest. They were standing in-between the two closest trees to the lake. He had already battled and won a total of 6 opponents. Everyone from fellow students to Order members, to Deatheaters and Aurors were fighting today. He and his opponent circled each other scowling. He thought back to what had all happened on this spring may-day.

* ** * **

He had been sitting at the Slytherin table eating breakfast the previous day when it all really started…

“Hey Draco! Did you hear there was an escape attempt that almost succeeded in Azkaban today.” Blaise yelled across the table. His eyes grew to the size of a walnut.

“What!?” Draco yelled.

“It’s all here in the Prophet-” Draco snatched the Daily Prophet out of his hands before Blaise could even finish his sentence.

The unsuccessful attempt at a breakout will certainly up the security of Azkaban. It is the closest attempt since 1773 when Denser Helsin was being held there. And of course the only known mistake of an escape would be Sirius Black- only a couple of years ago. The following list are of those known involved in some way with the close encounter:

He-who-must-not-be-named- Still under research

Lestrange

Rookwood

Dolohov

Malfoy

The list and article went on to talk about how it occurred. Draco didn’t care about that. He was excited and unset about this information. He was his father after all. But he still was a Deatheater and someone forcing him to do something he didn’t want to. But he was family so Draco was naturally overjoyed in that respect. It was like when you are playing Quidditch and you just have to catch that snitch to win and then out of no where the other seeker flies in front of you and catches it. You are happy that you almost made it but at the same time mad at yourself that you just couldn’t make it all the way.

<Bloody Hell> Draco thought

<That is sooooo not good!> Flamae thought back.

<Well in a way it is. It means my father will be coming home soon.>

<Your father ok. Your father- Deatheater-LUCIOUS MALFOY- bad- very bad.>

<Hey!>

<Well I mean if he really was a great person and all why is he there in the first place?>

<Because he is what he is and he is a bad person but he is still my dad!>

<Yea whatever.>

“Can I have my article back Draco?” Blaise asked impatiently. Draco shoved in his hands without even looking at him.

* ** * **

His opponent all of a sudden said, “Come on Draco. I love to dance, but make a little more interesting for me. Please?” He sneered at them and continued the think of what happened that very day…

<Oh My God, OH MY GOD,OH MY GOD> Played over and over again each time quicker and louder in Draco’s head It was only 6: 30 in the morning and already his thoughts weren’t his. Waking from his slumber he tried to roll over and forget the noise in his head but it was not a sound you can just tune out.

<Bloody Hell woman!! What could you be doing at this hour to wake me up with your repetitive noise?>

<What the!> Draco bolted up from his bed only in resulting in bumping his head on the bed post as her scrambled out of bed. “Crap.” He said as he held his head in the palm of his hand.

<Good going smart one!> Flamae thought to him.

<It’s not like I did on purpose you idiot!> Most people were still in bed in his dorm...most? Crabbe, Goyle, and Zabini were gone. they were also the ones who he knew had the closest connection to the Dark Lord.

Not too long after that teachers started getting the prefects and waking the rest of the school as well. Preparation was needed as quickly as possible.

* ** * **

“Are you scared?” Draco asked his opponent.

“You wish.”

“Ah, you didn’t answer the question.” Draco smirked and sent the first spell of the duel into the mix. “Petrificus Totalus!” The enemy dodged it quite easily.

“Can’t get rid of me that easy. You must have forgotten what happened last year. No need. I’ll remind you.”

* ** * **

Another flashback rolled in his mind like an old filmstrip. This one took place only a few minutes ago. When was battling a younger Hufflepuff…

He shouted a stunning spell that the Hufflepuff surprisingly deflected.

<Flamae- SHUT UP! He was the one to choose to be involved. If he didn’t want to fight he would have stayed in the school. Now for like the fifth time stop defending all of my opponents! It is getting rather annoying.>

<Well maybe if you weren’t choosing to be on that side I wouldn’t have much to criticize on!>

<If I wasn’t on this side you would criticize how I dressed.>

<Maybe and that brings up a point I meant to say. Your outfit doesn’t match.>

<Thank you fashion police but I don’t care. Are you even fighting or just annoying me?>

<Yea, sure.> With that Draco rolled his eyes and shot the final spell of their duel to the other person. <Happy? Now I’m not fighting him any more.>

* ** * **

The opponent shot a stunning spell at Draco witch he dodged. “Ah, yes last year you dodged that to but can you dodge this?” The bat bogey hit Draco in the face. “That would be a no. See you later.” She turned around just as he did the counter. He to advantage of his positioning, and shot a stunner at the red haired opponent.

“Yes, Flamae. See you later.”

SO what do you peoples think? TELLL ME!! What is the use of thinking it was good or bad if you don’t tell me? I know it is short but this chapter was begging to be uploaded.

16. You have to WHAT!?

The Reason XIV

You Have To What?!

Draco was sitting in the Great Hall only a few days after the Attack. Dumbledore stood up to make another one of his announcements.

“As you all know, the end of term is coming up soon. And all of you have take part in the mind connecting this year. Now this will not or doesn’t have to continue forever. It will end, only and simply only if both of you truly wish it was over. But this will not take place until you find out who you have at an unmasking on the second to last Friday- the 17^th, I believe.” He paused to check with McGonagall who was seated on his right hand side. She gave a short nod and he proceeded. “Yes, the 17^th. Come and meet with your partner but don’t speak to them or they might discover who you are before it is time. But I'm sure many of you maybe able to make ways around this though, such as, I understand Zonko’s products. Each person will be asked to buy a mask on the next Hogsmeade visit. For those of you who are not old enough to go to Hogsmeade will be allowed to create one of their own.” He sat back down after a quick good bye. Draco turned with a smirk to Crabbe and Goyle on his side and they continued to talk.

<Don’t call them MUDBLOODS!!>

<Whatever, muggleborns and such. And also what position socially and their families and the Dark Lord.>

<OK, so you hangout with Bimbo and Dumbo, because they are pureblood; Mr. and Mrs. Bimbo and Dumbo are friends with “the Dark Lord,” and they have the social status of a cow? How complicated can it get?>

<Explain.>

<Well, their names aren’t Bimbo and Dumbo>

<Beep…>

<Ok, and they also are friends with me…And they have known me since I was 3…And they beat up whoever I want…Yea and …and …and…>

<And…That’s all you have. OK, I am corrected. So, you hangout with Bimbo and Dumbo, because they are pureblood; Mr. and Mrs. Bimbo and Dumbo are friends with the Dark Lord; they protect you, and they have the social status of a cow?>

<Hey, they have better social status than a cow!>

<Hey! Just because you don’t like them doesn’t mean no one else does either.>

<Beep, yesterday 2 kids in Hufflepuff passed around a paper saying rate who was the most dislike people in school. By the time it got to me, you three were at the top of the list. Followed by Pansy.>

<Well, what do you know!>

<Sure…whatever> Flamae thought back.

***********************************************************

One week or so past seemingly normal- well normal for having some else in your mind, being a wizard and that whole kind of thing- until one night-or should I say morning.

Flamae thought

<Oh my gosh! No way!> Flamae thought again.

<Oh God! Just shut up!! What is the Dark Lord coming again?>Draco thought finally.

<Ok> As if it didn’t phase her one bit.

<AGAIN?>

<What?>

<They’re fun!>

<Hey, what is that supposed to mean?> Flamae responded quickly.

<Yes. You see one person says truth or dare and the other picks one and if you pick dare you have to do whatever they say or truth you have to answer the question truthfully.>

<Right! Buh-BYE!>

<No!>

<yes>

<No!>

<yes>

<No!>

<yes>

<No!>

<yes>

<No!>

<yes>

<Hmm… that’s hard!>

<Err…Dare>

<OK. I dare you to… hmm…this type of power over the great Draco ‘Beep’ Malfoy should be used wisely… let see, I could tell you to- oh yea if you have to do something to someone like kiss them or something you can’t tell them that you are doing it on a dare- but let’s see->

<Yea, yea, yea>

<So, any ways I could have you confess your ‘undying love’ for Hermione. Oh gosh her face would be sooooo funny!>

<Well, you don’t really have a choice>

She thought in a mocking tone.

<Ha, ha, ha very funny>

<Good night! Sleep tight ickle Drakey! You know how cranky you are with out it!> She thought in a mocking sweet voice.

*******

Draco woke up and was having a pretty good morning until… <well take a guess who ruined that for me!>

<Hi!> Flamae greeted him in his mind.

<Hello>

<No, trust me you will>

<I-have-to-kiss-you-in-front-of-everyone-in-the-great-hall-this-morning!!!!>

“You have to WHAT!!!!” Draco screamed causing everyone to stare him.

<OK, let me break it down for you. I. Have. To. Kiss. You. Today. In. The. Great. Hall.> Saying it all like you would explain something to a small child.

<Who?>

<I’m going to KILL HIM!>

<We’ll see about that because I really don’t feel like doing the alternate.>

<You’re insane. That is sooooo disgusting!! Please you’ll make me throw up!>

<Wait, didn’t you say that you couldn’t tell the person?>

<Well, I’m not exactly telling you, am I?>

<Well…>

<Exactly! There are always ways around rules!>

*************************************************************************************

Draco was sitting at the Slytherin table eating his breakfast still thinking about what Flamae had thought him. Ginny came walking over to him from the Gryffindor table, when she got directing across from Draco, she placed her hands on her hips. “What do you want Weaslette?” asked Draco coolly, fully knowing what she was there for. He watched as her eyebrows rose to an expression that said, “Excuse me?”

<You know exactly why I’m here!>Flamae thought.

<Look! I have a reputation hold up!>

<So no one knows you anyways!>Draco thought back.

<WHATEVER!>

<I’m the one getting embarrassed! Why are you so upset?>

<Please! Get over yourself!! I’m not exactly looking forward to this either!>

<Ah!>

Everyone else in the Great Hall was confused. Ginny Weasley had just walked up to her family’s enemy and just stood there staring at him, and him at her. The only type of reactions they had seen was their expressions changing. The two appeared to be in a staring contest. Everyone was almost too scared to make a movement as to break the tension. Each looked like they were going to kill the other. Suddenly Ginny leaned forward and Draco plunged her face down into his plate of eggs with ketchup, harsh brown, and bacon.

<Oh my god! You are sooooo dead!!!!!!!> Flamae thought as she pulled him toward her with one hand on his collar and the other, unnoticed by Draco, in the ketchup. Her hair had globs of ketchup and pieces of eggs. Then she kissed him quickly, but the hand that covered in ketchup went up into his hair and smashed it around until his blonde hair to turn red. She let go as quickly as she could and stalked out of the Great Hall. It wasn’t until the slam of the doors that anyone said anything. The disgusted faces of all were the loudest noises.

“What the bloody hell was that about?” Ron shouted.

Just so you know- when they are talking face to face I’ll call her Ginny. When he is thinking to her I’ll call her Flamae.

This took waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy to long I know! Sorry!! I’m trying I really am!!! I’ve been really busy lately!!

Look at this site all though there are tons of different versions of it!!! Is it so cool!! Hey, you could help support the cause!!!! I have!!! Kindness Beats Blindness!

17. Chapter 16- The kitchen

The Reason-the Voice

Chapter XV

Wow yea long time no update. I know! Bad, bad, bad…Hopefully I didn't lose any of you guys with the long wait! Ok blah blah-Here is the next chapter!!!!!

Draco stood in front of the mirror in the dormitory. His hair still had a pinkish tinge from the ketchup. He had tried to wash it out but this was as close as it was going to get for now. Flamae thought

<Idiot- I did!>

<Well it has to be one of them doesn't it?> Draco left the Slytherin quarters and headed down for the kitchens for some food.

<Sure…>

<What! No I just think that you had an interior motive>

<Oh! There he is!>

<Who? What?>

<Neville, Hermione said he was going to ask me to the masquerade>

<What! I thought we were supposed to go together?>

<No! We have to meet there>

<Oh…>

<Sure…>

<SHUSH>

<No>

<Yes>

<No>

<Hey!>

<Well, I have someone to go with!>

<Hey, I do not need to find someone, girls flock to me, and I can take anyone I want>

<It's true>

<Mmhmm>

<Mmhmm>

<Mmhmm>

<It's really getting on my nerves>

<Mmhmm>

<Mmhmm>

<Mmhmm> He could almost hear her laughing her head off. Actually, he realized it was no longer just in his mind. He entered the kitchens, and there she was rolling on the ground in laughter as some house elves tried to help her up. “Flamae?”

“Hi-Be-ep!” She gasped between laughs.

He motioned the house elves away and bent down to where Ginny was. “Having fun?”

“Mmhmm.”

He stared at her laying there in laughter and a smile crept onto his face. Slowly and laugh squeezed through his lips. “Come on, I'll help you up.”

“Oh my! The great Draco Malfoy offering a hand to lowly me! I think I could just die happy!” She said sarcastically, taking him up on his offer. She jumped up only inches from his face.

“Decline it and it will be the last thing I offer you.” He took a step back, and turned to the house elf. “Dobby? You work here now?”

“Yes, Mr. Malfoy. What would you like?”

“How about two ice cream sandwiches”

“Yes, sir!” Five minutes later Dobby returned with the two ice cream sandwiches. He went to hand one to Draco and one to Ginny, but Draco stepped over and took them both. After unwrapping the first in almost no time he took one large bite before looking up. Ginny gaped at him. “What?” He took another bite showing it didn't phase him at all.

“Aren't you going to give me one of those?”

“Oh I thought you would have ordered some of your own.”

“Well I would have, had you not ordered two!”

“Your problem.”

“UH!”

“Fine,” with a smirk Ginny uncrossed her arm in triumph and put out her hand as he said it. “Dobby could you please get Weasley here an ice cream sandwich.” He went on eating.

“Yes, sir.”

“Oh you self absorbed prick! Dobby don't bother!”

“Ok Miss. Weasley.”

“No, Dobby Miss. Weasley wants and ice cream sandwich get her one please.”

“Yes sir!”

“No Dobby don't listen to him, he's a pig.”

“Yes, ma'am!” Dobby said beginning to look confused.

“What? You wanted one I told Dobby to get one for you? What was wrong with that?” Ginny rolled her eyes at his statement.

Walking over she tried to grab the other ice cream sandwich out of his hand, but he moved away. She tried again and failed the same. He held it just out of her reach. “Dobby get Miss. Weasley an ice cream sandwich!”

“Yes-“

“Dobby don't listen to him he doesn't know how to share but he will.” Ginny kept jumping trying to get it out of his hands.

“Fine-“

“Dobby get her an ice cream sandwich before something happens!”

“Yes, Mr-“

“Dobby how many times do I have to tell you don't listen to him!”

Draco moved his arm down out tiredness but out further. Ginny jumped out of his reach toward it and grabbed it. Draco jumped after her. Draco landed partially on top of Ginny but slightly to the right.

They continued to struggle over it for a few seconds. Now, the ice cream sandwich had been out for quite a little while now. They both had neglected to think about what happens when you grab a slightly melted unopened ice cream sandwich. In result, it squirted out one end into Dobby's face. The two stop struggling in shock, wide eyed. They both let go of the ice cream sandwich but their arms were still outreached. Dobby slowly wiped off the ice cream from his face.

“First you tell Dobby to get ice cream sandwich then Weasley girl tells Dobby not to. Then you tell Dobby to get it and she tells Dobby not to, then you tell Dobby again and she tells Dobby not to; then you tell me to get it and she tells Dobby not to. Then you tell Dobby to get it and Weasley girl tells Dobby not to; then you tell Dobby to get it again and she tells Dobby not to, and then you squirt Dobby with melted ice cream!” Dobby stomped off away from them.

“Great job Weasley.” Draco mumbled in her ear.

“Like I was the only one fighting over an ice cream sandwich!” She said turning to face him. They both started laughing

“Well, you were the one that wanted to eat my ice cream!” Draco smirked back leaning a little closer. He pulled his arms back to lean on.

“Yes but you were also the one that ordered two for yourself!” Matching his smirk,

Ginny quickly realized they were only an inch apart. She nervously felt a blush creep up her cheeks. Her eyes flicked back to his eyes and she was paralyzed with a smug smile on her face. “Flamae…”

“Mmhmm…” She said as she closed her eyes as finally his lips touched hers. The ice cream lay forgotten besides them……………….

********

I know a lot of you had been wanting to see some Draco and Ginny action so yea this should kind of get things started a little.

Cliffe I know! I'm evil aren't I? Well don't worry the next chappie should be up by the end of the next weekend. Maybe sooner keep your eyes out…
