Recap:
"Father, I'm not a little girl anymore. I can take care of myself. Besides, I have Draco. He will protect me. He promised." I explained with hope in my eyes. Snape sighed, I don't think thar he wanted me to lose my hope. He wanted me to be like mum. To be hopeful and passionate.
"I-" Snape was cut off by the fireplace having green flames and Draco stepped out. He was pale and had blood on his shirt and crusted in his hair. Wow I didn't feel a thing. I walked up to him and hugged him. I noticed hat the blood in his hair and on his shirt wasn't his. It didn't look the same color. Draco's blood was a bright red while the blood on his shirt was tinges darker than his blood should be.
"What happened?" I asked. Draco's eyes glazed over.
"Nothing." he quietly said.
"Draco." I looked at him.
"Give it a rest okay?!" He yelled at me and he stormed away. What's wrong with him.
"I'll go after him." my father told me. I nodded and collapsed into his chair. I looked down at my hands. I shouldn't have said anything.
I guess I should just let Snape handle this for now.
'Alexis.' I heard Draco speak in my mind after twenty minutes.
'What?' I asked in my thoughts.
'I'm sorry for earlier, and we need to talk.' Draco thought to me.
'Okay.' is all I said as I broke off the connection.
Ten minutes later Snape and Draco had came back into Snape's office. I smiled at them as they entered, but my smile dropped when I saw that both of them looked really pale.
"Let's here it." I said to them outloud.
"You are joining us?" Draco asked quietly, meeting my eyes.
"Yes. I'm tired of-" I was cut off by Draco.
"Running. I've got that, but what if I want to break the connection?" Draco asked. He masked his face to remain straight.
"Well then if that's what you want, then you will need to convince me, but convinced or not I'm still going to become a death eater." I told Draco.
"Alexis-" Draco started but now it was my time to cut him off.
"Just be quiet, you don't know what it's like to be me. I've run all my life, and I don't even know who I am anymore. I do know that I love you so I want to keep my life like that." I told Draco. I was angry now.
"What if we talk about this tomorrow?" Snape asked.
"No!" I yelled, "No, we need to talk about this now." I said in a quieter, calmer voice.
"Okay." Snape said and stayed quiet.
"Draco listen, I want to be with you and besides...I have a plan." I said.
"You do?" Draco asked.
"Yes." I said as I smiled up at the two of them.
"So what is it?" Draco asked.
"Well..." I trailed off and then I explained my plan. When I was done I looked at the two and smiled.
"It could work." Snape said.
"Fine." Draco said.
"Okay. So do we all know what we need to do?" I asked.
"Yes." Snape had said as he rushed off to find the potion ingredients.
