My father takes me to the house. I've missed New Orleans, it's my home.
"Oh my god!" Rebekah says and runs up to hug me.
"Wait did you get expelled?" She asks.
"No no, I came for some witch help." I say.
"Well then, Freya is in the other room. Come on!" She says.
I follow her and Freya turns around.
"What are you doing back?" Freya says and walks up to me.
"I need your help."
"That's my cue." Rebekah says and leaves.
"What with?"
"Can you reverse a memory loss spell?" I ask.
"I've never heard of a known spell."
"What about Qetsiyah's spell? She brought back Stefen's memory's."
"Only she knew the spell, and she's dead."
"Maybe there's one in the grimores?" I ask.
"I'll look but I doubt it."
"Thank you!" I say and leave.
I close the door.
"I heard you were back." I hear from behind me.
"Marcel." I say and hug him.
"How are you?" He asks.
"I'm doing alright." I say.
"I'm glad your back, do you wanna tell me about it?"
"Not really, let's go do something fun."
"Lead the way." He says.
Draco Pov:
I can't believe I have to join this "Inquisitorial Squad" my father is making me. I don't have any interest in joining.
"Crabbe, Goyale hurry up will ya?" I say as we head to Umbridge's meeting.
"Sorry Malfoy."
I open the door to see Umbridge sitting at her desk, and a few other Slytherins.
"Ah, Mr. Malfoy i'm glad your here." Umbridge says and stands up.
I walk in feeling uncomfortable.
"Everyone line up!"
We all stand next to each other.
She grabs something from her desk and walks up to us.
"Now these pins will guarantee your loyalty to this squad." She says.
Harry Pov:
Hermione and I head to the room of requirement. We've started our own Defense against the Dark Arts, since Umbridge isn't teaching it to us.
"I was hoping to get Madi to join." I say.
"We don't know if we can't trust her yet. She is a Slytherin, and well slept with Malfoy." Hermione says.
"Your probably right."
We walk down the empty halls. Our shoes clattering down the hallway. Until we reach the tapestry showing Barnabas the Barmy trying to teach trolls to dance the ballet. We walk past the wall three times until a door appears and we open it. Everyone is already inside waiting for us.
"Alright let's get started!" Hermione yells.
Hermione, Ron and I watch as everyone practices.
"Cho isn't here tonight, that's weird." Hermione observes.
"Maybe she was tired?" Ron replies.
"We shouldn't worry, let's focus." I say.
~An hour passes
The chandelier starts crumbling, everyone is silent. I hear a faint band coming from the entrance. We all stare at the blank wall, wondering what the noise is.
Suddenly the glass shatters and a hole is formed in the bricks. I walk up to it and peak through. Umbridge, with her wand raised. I start to run back away as the wall explodes resulting in a huge hole,
The bricks have crumbled to the ground. Revealing the room of requirement.
"Get...Them." Umbridge says too politically.
Her inquisitorial squad runs into the room. Pansy grabs Hermione by the shoulders, I can see her struggle to get lose. Percy takes Ron and I by the hair.
We are forced to follow Umbridge to Dumbledore's office.
As we walk inside the ministry is already waiting.
~After Dumbledore leaves the school.
Umbridge orders us back to our common room.
Madison Pov:
Kol takes me back to the airport. Davina is busy with her coven.
We arrive and get into the plane. Lizzie is coming back home with my dad. They said they will figure a solution.
I start to wonder on the plane ride. If Draco erased me from her memory on purpose. Is he that obsessed with me.
~Arriving at Hogwarts.
Lizzie just got on the plane back home. And i'm back at the school. It's dark outside so I better not get seen.
I sneak in the doors to see dark, empty hallways. Prefects are probably checking the hallways, so I should be alert.
I head down the wooden stairs to the dungeon.
Once I get in my common room, I head to the dorms.
In the morning I get dressed and head out.
I'm supposed to meet up with Harry before classes. So I head to our meeting spot, as I'm walking I trip over something.
I drop my books. I look up, only to see that smirk I didn't miss while I was gone.
"I think you dropped something Mikaelson."
I quick get my things and stand up.
"Why don't you just shut up for once in your pathetic little life Malfoy?" I snap back.
"Be careful there, I can give you detention now." He says arrogantly.
"Hate to break it to you but, your not a prefect keep dreaming."
"So you didn't hear, well Professor Umbridge is the headmistress. Now the inquisitorial squad have high privileges."
"Great, I've had detention before so do your worst."
"Okay then, detention everyday for the next week."
"Glad to hear it, now it's your job to find a decent reason."
I walk away from him and head down the hall.
I see Harry, Ron and Hermione and walk in their direction.
"Madi, where were you the past couple days?" Harry asks.
"I went to America, don't ask."
"You what?!" Hermione exclaims loudly.
"Shh!"
"You could get expelled!" She whispers.
"No one caught me so I'd say i'm fine."
"While I was gone what did I miss?" I ask.
"All three of us have detention with Umbridge for the next week." Harry says.
"Can't wait to hear what you did."
"We didn't do anything wrong but get caught, we had started a secret meeting to teach students defense. Umbridge caught us." Ron says.
"I guess that's why you guys weren't in Ravenclaw."
"Oh shut up." Harry says.
"I'm kidding, don't get butt hurt."
"You think your funny, your just mean. No wonder your a Slytherin."
We all burst out a small laugh.
"I'll see you guys later." I say and walk away.
•••
I follow Harry and the others to detention. I sit down at one of the desks and wait for everyone to arrive.
Umbridge hands each of us a quill and parchment. This quill is black and unusual.
As I start to write on the paper, the words cut into my other hand. Each time I wrote another sentence it get redder than before. It felt as a small knife dug into my hand then heals back. This is officially the worst detention I've had.
I finally finish detention and hand my parchment to Umbridge before leaving. When I walk out Malfoy is waiting for me.
"How was detention?" He smirks.
"It was great actually." I say sarcastically.
"So you wouldn't mind two weeks detention?"
"You wouldn't."
He starts to laugh, Crabbe and Goyale behind him.
"Maybe if you'd respect your superiors." He says.
"Your not my superior, your just a spoiled little brat."
"What did you just say to me?!"
"I said your a spoiled little brat."
He looks at Crabbe and Goyale. They walk up to me and they grab my arms and Malfoy walks away. They force me to follow.
"What are you doing?!" I yell.
One of them put their hand over my mouth. I struggle to get out of their grasp but fail. Malfoy leads them to an empty classroom. They shove me inside making me fall. Then block the door.
I'm genuinely scared, this twit is a psycho.
Malfoy turns around facing me, with his wand held.
"You've been getting on my nerves lately. What's your problem?" He says menacingly.
"My problem?! You have got to be kidding me right?" I say offensively.
"That's right! Your problem."
"Well Im sorry your not my favorite person in this school!"
"Crabbe, Goyale leave us." Malfoy says and the walk out.
"Now I don't really want to do this but, you need to learn."
"Learn what?!" I say frightened.
"Crucio!" He says and I could feel pain all over my body.
The pain starts in my chest which spreads to the rest of my body. It feels as if a bunch of burning hot knives cut deep beneath my skin everywhere. I screamed in pain but it never stopped. I could feel the tears fall down my cheeks, I've never cried so hard in my life.
"Please, please stop." I cry out.
He did not stop. There was nothing I could do. It hurt to bad, I screamed my lungs out. No one came to help me. They must have put a silencing spell on the room or something.
"I'll do anything! Just please stop! Please I'll do whatever you want! Just stop!" I scream in pain.
I close my eyes tight.
Then it stops.
"Anything?" He asks.
I open my cried out eyes and look at him.
"Yes." I say ashamed.
He lowers his wand.
"Stand up."
I look a bit shocked and scared. I hesitated.
"Now!" He yells and raises his wand.
I quickly get to my feet. He walks closer to me, then grabs me by the neck and pulls me closer.
"Never speak of this, or you'll be begging me to kill you." He whispers in my ear.
I nod.
"Good, get out of here."
He releases me and I run out fast. I head down the hallway looking back to see Malfoy walking out looking proud. I can't believe he did that. I mean the unforgivable curse.
•••
Ever since then I've avoided Malfoy. Every time I had to pass him in the hall, he would raise his eyebrows. Never before was I intimidated by him, but now I'm afraid to be in the same class as him.
Maybe I changed him when I compelled him. I made him hate me and with the hate he had already, plus what I told him to feel. I don't know maybe I should give him his memories back.
In the afternoon I go to my common room. Hoping to find Malfoy, I should do the right thing. When I arrive he's alone, I guess I have luck on my side today.
"Well Mikaelson, your not doing a great job at avoiding me." He says and turns his head to look at me.
I walk over to him and stand in front of him.
"Being brave are we?" He laughs.
"Get...Up." I say firmly.
"Ordering me around are you?" He says and stands up, towering over me.
I look straight in his eyes.
"I want you to remember everything I made you forget. Remember that we had sex, that you tried to erase my memories, that you didn't hate me." I say and back away.
He slowly starts to realize what he had done.
"Madi, I-" He starts to say.
"Save it, I know you hate me now but I understand. I know what your capable of but I know it isn't who you truly are."
"I was going to say I'm sorry, the Cruciatus curse is unforgivable I shouldn't have. But you have to understand your not going to find that soft side of me. That's who I am, your wrong."
"Then why did I find that side when we slept together?"
"Sleeping with you was a mistake."
"Malfoy I've seen it, you don't have to be the bad guy." I say.
"You can't change me, using that spell was un called for but I would do it again." He says and turns away.
"Don't turn your back on me!" I yell.
He stops and turns back wand raised to my neck.
"I said I would do it again, I don't regret using it. I don't give a damn about you, so just leave me alone." He says and walks away.
I don't know what it is but I felt my heart shatter. Why do I feel like this, I don't like him. He tortured me, he hurt me and said he didn't care. Why do I still try?
I close my eyes, I could feel myself heading for that switch. I shouldn't but who's here to stop me? No one cares for me, my family sent me away and now I have nothing to lose.
The switch is right there, just one flip and I don't have to feel any of this. Every vampire does it at least once right?
