Fleeting London (Scorpius)

[Dannielle Marie Wood]

---------------------------------------------------

No this isn't what I wanted
Never thought it'd come this far
Thinkin' back to where we started
And how we lost all that we are
We were young and times were easy
But I could see it's not the same
Standing here but you don't see me
Give it all for that to change

---------------------------------------------------

Dannie was surprised that her father was letting her go to Italy all by herself. She's never went anywhere by herself. She had done a lot of yelling at her father that night. She told him that she needs him and that's he's never around for her when she needs him. And that she quit the DA and was never going back to the DA. She was never a spy for them. She never wanted to be part of them anymore. She also felt like quitting the Slytherin Gang and it wasn't because of Scorpius either. She felt like she wasn't wanted or belong in either group. Sure the DA was trying to get her back and she keeps turning them down. She wasn't going to go back even if it meant pretending to rejoin and then give all the information to someone in the Gang.

She got through secruity and now she has to wait the long hours to board the plane. She couldn't wait to leave to Italy. This way she could leave everything behind for the month she would be gone for. She was going to be gone on her birthday. Everything that was happening was crashing down around her like shatter gla*s. She wanted to just end it all even if it meant leaving the country which she was. She didn't want to return to Hogwarts anymore. People actually thought that she was a Spy which she knew she wasn't a spy. She also knew people wanted to destroy her life now which they don't know it's all ready destroyed. Her mother's dead, her father's on the edge of dying, she lost her trust in Crew, Andy seems to be using paint, Scorpius didn't really wanted to talk to her anymore. Everything she knew was gone and there was no point hanging around here anymore.

There she sat in one of the chairs they had in their airport thinking about what was happening to her life. Where she had went wrong. Sure fleeting may not be the right answer at the moment but it felt right. She had family in Italy. She was going to go visit. They know about what was going on and they had invited her to stay for a month or two. Or until she gathered all of her thoughts at the present moment. She brought her guitar and started strumming a tune that she was thinking of. She couldn't come up with an idea to sing though. All she knew was that she wanted to cry until she wanted all of this pain to go away and never come back. She felt like she lost everyone that she cared about.

[Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy]

After Scorpius sent the letter to Dannie about meeting in London he took the next few days to think about everything that had happened. He heard a few of the thing going around the school that he was going soft, that he might be going to the DA, that Dannie was trying to get him over to the DA that she was a spy. He had no actual proof handed to him when it came to Dannie and came to the spying. He was even surprised that people in the gang would even think that he was going to the DA. He shook his head as he gathered his things so he could head out to London to meet with Dannie.

“Scorpius. I heard that you’d be seeing Dannie. Isn’t that against what you promised to Callie?” Skylar questioned as he walked in to the common room. Scorpius nodded. “Yeah, but I do need to see her once more.” He stated. Skylar nodded, “I’ve heard that she’s in the airport in London. Make haste.” He added before he left. Scorpius nodded and watched his friend leave. ’She’s at the airport? What is she doing there?’ he thought to himself. He cleared his head as he had a lot to focus on. He grabbed his robes, wand, and held his hand out for Chaos. He walked out of the common room and through the castle. He had to pick up his pace but he couldn’t do anything until he was outside. He glanced around to make sure that he was alone when he moved his arm to send Chaos into the sky. He then Apparated towards the London Airport. He stayed to the shadows and the darkness so he wasn’t seen by the muggles.

He walked into the airport as he felt a rush suddenly come over him. He knew that he would have to control himself as the questions just flooded through his mind. He used a few potions to slip past the guards and security as he made his way through the airport. He knew that some of it might come back on him later but right now, it was not the time to think about it. He noticed Dannie and walked towards her. “Dannielle.” He said in a low tone but he remained steady. “We need to talk.” He glanced around. “Privately!” he added as he looked back to her. He couldn’t let her leave until he got some answers and he couldn’t get the answers in a busy airport.

Scorpius didn't want to wait for her response or for her to deny him when he took her by the arm gently and started to walk towards a door that said employees only. He didn't really hide the fact that he was partially upset but it didn't change the fact that he was still extremely gentle towards her as he handled her. He used his wand to open the door before slipping into the room with her only to release her, close the door and lock it.

He walked through the room to make sure they were alone before he turned back to her. "Dannielle." he said with a cold icy look in his eyes. "Tell me the truth! Are you a spy? Are you working for the DA? How much information did you get from Cruento?" he started to question. His voice remained steady but through some of the icy look in his eyes he showed some of the heartache that he had. "What have you taken from the DA? What all have you told them? Why did you remain friends and in contact with the members of the DA? How bad do you want this?" he enquired, still keeping his voice steady but starting to loose the coldness in his eyes. "Why did you talk to my sister like that? Why are you so jealous of her? What is it that you want so bad? Who the hell have you been a*soicating with that everyone is questioning me and my judgements?"

[Dannielle Marie Wood]

Dannie sat lost in thought when she heard Scorpius say her name. Oh my he sounds somewhat mad. she thought to herself as he said that they needed to talk privately. She was about to say something along the lines of the words why when he gently led her to a place that was marked employees and was surprised that he locked the door only after checking out if the place was clear and then asked her a lot of questions. She didn't know how to answer any of them. This is what she didn't want at all.

She leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor and placed her arms into her arms that was held up by her knees. Her brown hair hid her face. She was so sad and torn at the moment. "I am not a spy." she said with a bit of a sobbing tone to her voice. "I'M NOT A SPY FOR THE DA." she said snapping her head up and yelled at him. She didn't know it was in her to yell at anyone yet alone at him. She was pretty much surprised. "Cruento I have no idea really a lot. But I would never ever take anything to the stupid DA." she said with a truthful look to her face.

She looked at him for a moment. "I haven't told them a soul Scorpius. I would never do that. I rather die then give them information Scorpius." she said for a moment. "They don't really need to know anything and just can find out on all their own. And just to darn out ask why does people think I'm a spy for the DA in the first place?" she said for a moment. "When I left them I left them for good." she said for a moment. "Is it my fault that James Potter the darn idoit kept trying to talk to me and asking darn questions?" she asked him. "Have you wondered why he was covered in red and yellow paint almost everyday?" she asked him getting a bit angry. "And I don't know why I'm sticking around here. It's obvious you don't want to talk to me anymore. And I will never let anything spell." she said looking at him.

"To me it seems she has everything. A big brother who cares about her. One who doesn't ignore her. One who will do anything for her to help her out. She has everything going for her. I don't even deserve to continuing to live anymore at the present moment and that's how I feel right now." she said for a moment. "I lost my mother. I've lost my father, my brother even though it's his fault in a way, I've lost my other brother. My sister hates me. My other brother I have no clue about. And I've lost you. Or at least it seems like it. I've lost everything that was important to me." she said as she put her head back into her hands. "I'm leaving for a month or two to Italy to get my thoughts all together. To figure things out. Esmeralda doesn't seem to be around for me either. She's too busy chasing Albus and trying to keep Annabella away from him. Even though Albus and Annabella would make a cute couple." she said for a moment.

She looked at him for a moment. "Why did I have to believe my stupid idiot of a brother in the first place?" she said for a moment. "I could have listen to Dakota and Skylar. Who both said that she was nice but has her moments." she said for a moment. She got up for a moment and walked around for a moment. She felt like she was going crazy. She saw a vace near by. It was empty it didn't have any flowers in it. She picked it up and looked at it. She wondered if she threw it would it make her feel any better. She place it down and looked at him for a moment. "I'm sorry okay. I'm telling you the truth though. I'm not a spy for the stupid DA. When I left them I told them I'm I wasn't going to go back to them. And I meant that. James and I maybe in the same house yes. His father is friends with mine. But for some reason he was sending out warning signals pretty much to me. He kept asking a lot of things about you. I told him that is condifental and I can't answer those questions." she said for a moment. "So why is everyone thinks that I'm a spy when I think that James is trying to get information and won't leave me alone. I can't just go to you and say tell him to leave me alone when he's in the same house and can talk to me there Scorpius." she said to him. "And I'm not going to stay in my dorm room." she added to the thought.

[Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy]

Scorpius glanced at Dannie a few times as he knew that he let a little too much of his anger show that she picked up on it with ease. He was trying to mask most of his anger not show as much as he did. He started to feel like he was actually starting to fall as everything was on the last thread with everything that he held. He watched her from the corner of his eyes when a thought crossed his mind. He started to wonder if she had anything on her that could record the conversation they were going to have. He shook his mind mentally to flush the idea from his mind. He trusted her before and somewhere, somehow he knew that he could trust her still.

He listened to her only to look directly at her almost surprised when she yelled at him. That was the one thing he didn’t want since the walls where thin. He shook his head, “Keep your voice down.” He said with a sigh as he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. “The last thing we need is people to know that we are here and try to come in here.” He stated in the same low dry tone. He listened to what she had to say about her brother when his anger flared at the name. “I figured that he told you a lot! There were things you asked me about that I told him in confidence!” he said unable to hide his anger towards the subject of her brother. He had a plan for Cruento and all he could do was hope that he, himself didn’t tell her what it was.

He nodded slowly as he listened to what she had to say, “Just don’t accept anything from them. They wont leave you alone until something happens. Till someone gets burned, attacked, and so on. Only you can do that to clear your own name out of the DA. Which I know exactly how to do that. Attack James Potter.” He said as he looked at her with a darkened look to his eyes. “If you attack James Potter then the DA will back off and see you as an enemy and not some lost soul. The Gang would see you as truthful.” He added. “There is a lot of sh*t going around right now over you, the DA, Cruento, myself, and the big one you trying to get me and Cruento to go over to the DA.” he stated. “That is why I’m so pissed off right now. The sh*t that went down between you, Callie and myself.” He shrugged, “Callie can get over it and I can request you not to ever speak to her that way again. As for James Potter he is a target and I’m going down to the Quidditch pitch later to meet with him. It would be in his better interest to meet with me and not make me hunt him down!” he glanced away from her for a moment to think about what she had said when he looked back to her, “I’m in a bad situation right now what do you expect me to do?” he questioned. “I’m getting the sh*t end of this Dannie. I have to defend everything from my name to the gang to my own honesty and loyalty! It’s tearing my whole family apart and I don’t mean the gang family.” He stated in an angry tone. “However, I didn’t ever once say that I didn’t ever want to talk to you anymore! I’m here aren’t I?” he questioned

“Callie doesn’t have everything! She can’t keep a guy in her life! Yeah, I care so much about her and do so much for her that I hardly have a f**king life of my own!” he said, showing his pissed off side as he released his defence but he didn’t raise his voice. “She never takes into consideration half the sh*t I do for her or the d*mn positions she puts me in! I can’t ignore her because I never get the chance to. She never lets me and I feel like sh*t if I do since I know she has no one else. She never had anyone even after she was attacked. I was the only person there for her. I swore that no one would ever do that again too her. I’ve worked my a*s off to where I am today with her! That I had to prove myself every second of every day for her to know, trust and believe me that I wouldn’t ever leave her that I’d always be there to protect her, that I wouldn’t ever lie or break any promises to her and yet I’m breaking my promise to her for the first time! I swore to her that I wouldn’t ever see you again... Yet she came to me and told me that I can but I promised her I wouldn’t which she never released the promise. She doesn’t have everything going for her. I make it so. Everything that you see around Hogwarts is a huge act! I make it look that way and she puts in very little effort since I already built it up! I’m a year behind because of her! My youngest brother doesn’t get along with Callie. They have a normal, typical brother-sister relationship! Just like you have with your siblings. I don’t have a typical brother-sister relationship with Callie! Maybe it’s because of our past or maybe it’s because she’s not our real sister I don’t know but if you haven’t noticed Dannie, Callie and I are not normal therefore you have nothing to be jealous of when it comes to us! You just need to accept Callie the way is and the way things are done with her and I and stop being jealous of us!” he stated as he shook his head. He put his hand over his face for a moment before he crossed his arms once more and looked at her. “Esmeralda wont stand a chance since Albus is living at the manor and Annabella will be too. She’s always had a room at the Manor and she is suppose to have a key for the Manor. The two of them will be seeing each other all the time so Esmeralda can just get off it!” he stated in a cold tone. “No I don’t know where any of this leaves us.”

“I don’t know why you believed him over Kota and Skylar... especially, Skylar.” He stated with a shrug as he glanced over to her. “Callie is a very kind and sweet girl. I love her more than anyone else. She’s not this dark, crazy evil person that everyone makes her out to be. She’s always doing what she can to help another but it depends on who they are and what they’ve done to me, Kota, or herself. But she will help anyone in the gang. She goes through a lot and she’s sensitive. She’s caring. She’s sweet and she loves parks. She sings and she’s a pretty good dancer too. She’s the type of person that will cry with you if your sad and need to cry. She’s also the type that she’d be there for someone in a heartbeat and do what she can to help them.” he said in a calmer tone with a slight smile. “Callie is protective, she can be bold and strong at times but at others she’s just scared. She’s a child. She’s innocent but I know that she’s done a lot. She’s respective and careful. She doesn’t jump into things when she’s unsure of them. She explores them carefully and if something doesn’t seem right she asks me for help. But no one sees that side of her because it’s Hogwarts; because she’s my sister; because she’s a Malfoy.” He said as he looked back to Dannie, “And no matter what she does... or how pissed off I get at her...or how much she annoys me sometimes, I love her and I wouldn’t change anything about her. She’s the only person I’ve ever truly trusted which is why she holds so much of my life secrets in her hands. She has enough that if she wanted to, she could have me killed instead of getting a slap on the wrist and put away.” he stated. “Everything that people say about Callie at school and half the time what people see is all an act. Yes I am that close to my sister but not for the reasons everyone thinks. One thing I am predictable on is my word. I always stand by my word... and even though I broke this promise with Callie. I’ll be telling her that I did come here to see you.” He said as he watched her picked up the vase. “Make it explode... or throw it. I have my wand to clean up.” He stated.

“If James Potter wants to know something about me then he can have his chance to ask me!” he said as he pulled himself off the wall and walked towards her. “Friends or not that has nothing to do with you now. You’re in the gang. Show it.” He added in a calm tone. “Come back to Hogwarts, stay, attack James Potter.” He said in a more soothing tone as he touched her cheek gently. “We can help and protect you, same house or not, I can get into any house in Hogwarts. Don’t hide because it will only seal what everyone is saying about you.”

[Dannielle Marie Wood]

Dannie was amazed with the voice he chose to choose. It was a dry tone but she liked it better than yelling. "Sorry!" she said in a bit of a calmer voice or at least tried to. She looked at him for a moment. She wasn't exactly sure why he wanted her to keep her voice down. She then must have thought that the walls must have been thin. She looked at the door for a moment wondering why he choose that door but then she realized because it was able to lock. She looked at him when he spoked about her brother. "Yes the idiot did." she said for a moment.

She listened to what he had to say. She raised her eye brows a bit when he said that she had to attack James Potter. She then wondered how she was able to do that. She looked away from him for a moment. She also didn't like his dark look that he was giving off. But she knew she couldn't change that and didn't want to. She also wondered how that was her fault. No one forced him to be nice to her. No one made him fall for her. But she decided not to say anything about it. "Yes you are here talking to me." she said with a small smile. "And I won't talk to her like that again! But did she have to point out everything that I already knew. I knew my mother was dead and that my sister totally hates me?" she asked him for a moment. "That hurt me. Something I've tried to forget. I'll never forget that my mother is dead and that I'll always remember. But I've tried to forget that my sister hates me." she said with a frown.

She listened to him talk about Callie. She didn't realize that she didn't have everything she thought she had. She acted like she did but then again she could tell that he was telling the truth. She listened to him speak. She thought that he had a good voice to talk. "She can dance and sing?" she asked him for a moment. "And that's easier said then done Scorpius. I can't just give up the jealousy that quick. It's going to take time. Trust me on that one. It's not like I can turn it on and off like a light." she said for a moment as she took the vase in her hands again and smiled a bit. Looked at the door and thought about throwing it at it wondering what would happen. But then again that may bring people their direction. She placed it down. She took out her wand for a moment. She then wondered what would be a good spell for it. "Flipendo!" she said and the vace exploded sending gla*s everywhere. She covered her face as fast as she could. "Wow. I feel better!" she said for a moment.

"Fine. I'll attack James but I'm not sure how to do that." she told him in calm voice as he had came closer to her. She loved it when he touched her cheek. She wondered if she should stay at Hogwarts and attack him or go to Italy. She had a choice to make. Going to Italy won't solve anything and she realized that. But going back may just torture at the same time. When he said that he said that they can protect her in the same house or not she had to really think about it more. Her Flight was supposed to take off in an hour. "Who says I'm hiding?" she asked him for a moment. "I'm not trying to hide." she said for a moment. "I just need to get away. I need a vacation. My mother had been in Italy. Some of my family lives out there. I haven't seen them in ages. Sure I'm fleeting from my Hogwarts life but it may be a wrong thing to do but at the moment it feels right." she said with a small frown. "But now it seems so wrong the way you put it. I don't want them to think that but I shouldn't let them think that. I know that I'm not a spy. I know that I'm in the Gang. And I know I should act like it." she said with a small smile. "But I don't know how. I'm scared Scorpius. I don't even know how to attack anyone. Never have before but I'll give it my best shot." she said to him.

She looked at him for a moment. She looked like she was lost in thought. After about five minutes she finally thought about it. "I won't go to Italy today but as soon as I attack James Potter I'm going to Italy for a little Vaca to visit my family." she said for a moment. "I just really need time you know. To just let go of the world and just have fun. Be a normal kid. I mean I'm not like the muggle kids who probably think I'm off my rocker if I told them I was a witch but then again some of them may think it's cool that I can do magic. But I'd never show them." she said for a moment. "I just really need to have some fun but also to think." she said with a smile.

"I thought that you didn't want to speak to me again. I thought that you were avoiding me beause you were mad at me." she said for a moment. She thought about a lot of that. "I know you were upset with the way I acted around your sister but then your sister didn't have to point things out about my family I've already knew and wanted to either forget. My dad is a drunk. My mother is dead. My sister Hates my guts. Andy doesn't really seemed to be around for me anymore. My other brother I have no idea what's going on with our relationship. I'm losing everything Scorpius. That's how I feel and I can't help but feel that way. Truth is that is why I'm going to Italy. I got family there who wants me. I felt like I had lost you that day. I know I lost my mother, brothers, and sister, and I've lost my father. I've lost some of my friends as well. Or at least the DA friends who I thought were my friends." she said for a moment.

[Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy]

Scorpius glanced into Dannie’s eyes when she apologized. He figured that she picked up on why he requested her to lower her voice. He nodded as he got his confirmation from her. “He is an idiot. One that will pay a very hefty price.” He said trying to keep his voice neutral but knew that he did let some of the anger and darkness seep into his tone. He walked over to the door and took a moment to listen for anyone that could be close or near the room. He heard the announcements but otherwise it was silent.

He caught her expression and knew that she was surprised or taken back by what he had asked her to do. He didn’t know how she’d take it or if she’d even accept it and do it. He started to wonder if she could or was capable of doing what he requested. He glanced to her and saw her smile. He did have to admit that it warmed his heart slightly but he had to stay focused here. “It’s a strategy. I do the same thing to people. It started to work but she didn’t hold it so it back fired on her... and you were able to stand against it. It’s your sister’s loss.” He stated. “Don’t fret over her and how she feels about you. It’s her loss by tossing you away.” he explained. “She’s not worth what you do to yourself over her.”

“Yeah, Callie can sing and dance. She’s more than what people think. Like I said, it’s an act between her and I around Hogwarts. Because of her past and because she had no one help her through it I took it up. It’s why I protect her. It’s partly why I built my name which seems to have gone out the window now since I’ve become ‘soft’ which is something I’m working on changing. She can’t be alone. She always has to have someone with her which is why I’m always seen with her or she’s always surrounded with my friends. It’s why whenever I leave she comes with me or I make arrangements for her to be with people I trust...usually the vampires. So long as I can usually trust the person she’s alright with them. She can’t handle being along due to what happened. She can’t stand bugs and spiders which is why I blow them all up. Anyone who ha*sles her, I take them out. Part of it is yes I’m the oldest and it’s my responsibility but I take it so far because of her past. No one but myself, Dakota, Skylar, Albus, and Tristan knows about her past, and now you know parts of it. I don’t know how many real friends Callista has and I know that Albus and Tristan were the first two real guys that had something for her. I know a lot of people in the gang watch over Callista and Dakota and hang around them with me just out respect for me...but I don’t know how many of them really are her friends. I’ve become accustomed to her using my room to sleep so she doesn’t have nightmares. She is tormented by the past every night... I’ve lost many nights of sleep due to her and everything that has gone on. So, please don’t judge her or be jealous of her by what you see.” He said as he looked to her when she called him ‘scorpius’ instead of ‘scor’. He brushed it off as he addressed the jealousy comment. “I understand that jealousy isn’t like a switch. I’ve gone through all of that with Callie and Kota.” He said only to nod. He knew that it would take time. He watched her with the vase and smirked darkly when he picked out that she might actually do it. He pulled her back into him quickly while he held his wand, “Protego Horribilis.” He said to protect him and her from the flying gla*s. He smirked and chuckled lightly under his breath. “Yeah that usually does make a person feel better.” He said as he looked down into her eyes.

“I can teach you the spells to use and help you plan it” He explained. For a moment he got lost in her eyes and felt a slight bubbling urge to kiss her but he refrained. He could see that she had to make a choice. As much as he felt a strong gravitational pull towards her, as strong as his feelings were towards her, he knew that he had to fight them and back away from them and her. “Running away isn’t the way to deal with things.” He said only to nod. “If that’s how you feel and what you want then who am I to stop you?” he said as he dropped his hand from her cheek, released her and took a few steps back from her. “Prove that you’re in the gang! That you’d support the dark lord the dark rulings and you’re not afraid to raise hell and fight back against the DA.” he stated. “You don’t need to be scared. I’ve got you covered... you just have to attack. Make your stand against the DA. Let them know that you are not their friend but their enemy. Make your stand with the gang. Pledge to the gang... When you’re done with James. I have another one.” He said growing lower in tone as he finished.

“I’m not much for being a normal kid.” He explained. He nodded. “Have fun on your little vaca. We’ll agree to be friends and watch the muggles.” He stated as he turned to walk towards the door. He figured that things were done with them. “Showing Muggles magic could get you into a lot of trouble. And that sort of trouble I don’t know if I can help you. I know a friend of mine can but I can’t personally help you in that. Besides, they are muggles. Why would you want to go tell them, show them anything, and be around them?” he questioned. “Fun? Fun can be done and had here too.”

“I sent you a note saying that I wanted to meet you in Muggle London. I had a lot to think about with everything that was coming back at me. This isn’t where I wanted to meet you. I was actually going to ask if you could meet me at a coffee shop.” He stated. “Skylar is the one that told me you were here. I told you that you were watched. You can’t do anything without me knowing where you are, whats going on and what you are up to.” He smirked slightly. “Like I said, that is a strategy. I do the same thing to people...Callie just didn’t hold it up and continue she allowed it to fall apart and crumble. Andy isn’t worth sh*t and Cruento has a deadly date with destiny!” he said, speaking harsher when he mentioned her two brothers. “You only lose everything when you run away. When you hit a rough patch in life, you stand there to take it and you fight back for what you want and what you believe in. You don’t turn tail and run allowing everyone else to clean up and straighten things out! That’s the only way you lose everything. My sister plays a big part in my life, so does Dakota and Skylar... since he may look our age but he’s been a better father to me and helped me out more than Draco ever has!” he said. “You didn’t lose me that day but I won’t lie you are slowly losing me; over these rumours and you running away. You’re in the gang now Dannie. You should have thought about those f**king DA friends of yours before you joined the gang! You can’t be in the gang and be friends with the DA! It doesn’t work that way!”

[Dannielle Marie Wood]

Dannie looked at him for a moment. A hefty price? she thought to herself. Then shrugged whatever that was going to her idiot of a brother was something he would deserve. She stood there wondering though exactly what he meant by that but decided to forget it and think about it again some other time. She watched him walk to the door and listen. It was obvious no one was coming.

"A stragety?" she said with a small smile. "Does it have to hurt people's feelings?" she asked him for a moment. "Well at least the ones in the Gang anyways?" she added to her question. She wondered though why they do those things. "You are right. It's her lost and I shouldn't worry. It's also Cruento's lost too. I don't want anything to do with him but to tie him upside down with an unbreakable by magic rope and his hands tied behind his back so he can't untie it." she said with a small frown.

She listened to him speak. For some reason her heart always want to skip a beat or two when she hears his voice. She looked at him for a moment. She nodded her head at the right times as well. "I get that well now anyways." she said with a small smile on her face. "You guys do that well you know that. Too well." she said for a moment. "I'm glad though that she does have someone to watch out for her." she said. After she had blown up the vase she felt Scorpious pull her into him and say some sort of spell. She looked up into his eyes when he said that. She somehow felt better and now doesn't want to go anywhere.

"Well you Scor?" she asked him using his nickname once again. It felt good to say that name. The other times it didn't feel just right until now. She felt that feeling again and she desperately wanted to kiss him again. She frowned when he let his hand stop and took a few steps. She listened to him once again. She looked at him and heard everything and then just fell to her knees. She really had to think here. She had listened to him speak. Her own father didn't tell her that. And he knew everything up to now. Well he doesn't know that she quit the DA for the Gang. She pulled her legs from under her and pulled them to her chest and actually sat there in thought. A single little tear slid down her cheek and she quickly whiped that away. "You're right. I know you are right. And truth be told I am scared. I'm scared that I'm doing everything wrong and messing up everywhere. I'm still learning at things Scor. I really am. And trust me I'm trying. I'm not going to run away. I'm going to fight as much as I can muster. But that's all that I can do." she said trying to hold back other tears.

"Muggles are a bit strange though but they are fun to watch." she said for a moment still sitting in the same position. She didn't know what else she had to say about that subject. "I'm not going on that Vaca. You made me see the path I need to go down Scor. I'll visit them some other time. When I got better news for them. Well actually it'll be bad for them but good to me." she said for a moment with a small smile.

Dannie looked at him for a moment. "Well when I got that owl I was pretty much packing and well just didn't know if that was some sort of trick or not. Even though I should know that you wouldn't or probably wouldn't do that to me." she said for a moment. "I don't know many coffee shops in the Muggle world. This is actually my first time here actually. My father had always used a port key. But I wanted to fly by plane. I never been on a plane Scor. I of course looked a bit stupid to some person back there when I asked what was that thing that was very big that had looked like arms sticking out of it. And he told me it's a plane stupid." she said with a small smile.

"Boy you're good. If it was about four hours later you would have found me in Italy then wouldn't you?" she asked him for a moment. "You caught me in time." she said for a moment. "Flight to Italy time to aboard the plane. "I didn't know that!" She said as she placed her chin on her arms. She listened to what else he had to say to her. She looked at him for a moment and now she really felt like crying. "I don't want to lose you Scor." she said for a moment in a determind voice. "I don't want to lose you. I'm not going to go anywhere but back to Hogwarts. I'm going to stand up and fight. I don't want to flee anymore." she said looking at him and then couldn't stand it any longer and placed her head in her arms and started crying softly where people behind the doors couldn't hear her. "Flight to Italy it's time to board the plane." an loud announcement came over them. She wiped her tears away from her face. She looked at him showing him that she wasn't going anywhere. She figured it will be another half hour or so before the plane takes off. "Not going. I fight. I attack." she said between breaths. "But I don't know how to start!" she said looking at him in the eyes trying to find some sort of answer.

[Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy]

Scorpius watched Dannie and figured that he caught her curiosity in what he had said about her brother. He also knew that if she wasn’t going to ask, he wasn’t going to say anything. He was going to let it drop as he walked through the room. He went through things until he found a few grapes. He picked them, washed them and then jumped up on the counter to sit as he tossed one up in the air and caught it in his mouth. He was starting to wonder how long he was going to remain locked up in this room with Dannie in the muggle world. He was pretty sure that everyone would be starting to wonder where he went. He ate another grape before he glanced to Dannie, “Would you like some?” he questioned, trying to hide his unpleasantness from his tone of voice.

“Yes, it’s a strategy.” He said, “It usually hurts people’s feelings it also freaks them out with the information and details as they are listed off.” he explained. “However, like I said, Callie let it down and go which is why you were able to overpower the strategy.” He added. “When there is a matter of trust, honesty and loyalty, it doesn’t really matter if you are in the gang or not.” He said before he ate another grape. He listened to what she had to say. “That’s right. It’s their loss and their problem for throwing you aside!” he said strongly; a little stronger than he had intended. “Thanks for the idea.” He added with a dark devilish smirk. “Just something else I can add to the list.”

He smirked, “We had many years of practice.” He said, a little lighter as it seemed he was starting to relax once more. “I didn’t really have a choice in the matter. I took pity on her as I couldn’t stand listening to her cry night after night and screaming. It had to stop and Draco and my mom wasn’t doing anything. So I stepped up...now her and I are close and she can’t stand it when it seems someone is going to be taking me away from her.” He wasn’t sure what else to say or add as he didn’t really want to let her know everything. He also knew that he still had feelings for her but with everything going on and her still threatening to leave he knew it would be better if he backed off right now.

He nodded, as he felt like he froze for just a moment when she started to call him by his shortened name. He wasn’t sure what to say or how to interact with that at this point in time. He wasn’t going to stop her from using it since he didn’t mind hearing it cross over her delicate lips. He also caught her expression when he released her and backed away from her. He watched her sink to her knees and pull them into her. He felt his heart melt and drop all in one shot. He wanted to go to her and pull her into him. He quickly looked back to the handful of grapes he held and munched on slowly. When he caught the sight of the tear on her cheek he jumped down and took a tissue as he walked over to her. Kneeling down he wiped the tear from her cheek. “The only thing you are doing that is wrong is running away and remaining friends with those from the DA!” he said. He smirked as he listened to her, “It’s about time you are ready to stand up, stay, and fight.” He added.

“Maybe so, but Muggles are still a waste.” He said with a shrug as he remained kneeling down in front of her. He smirked as he listened to her, “I usually do get people to find the right path they should be going done.” He said before he not acceptableed his head to the side, “what do you mean that it would be bad for them but good for you?” he questioned.

“I was actually going to be sending another one with instructions.” He stated as he glanced back to her. “I’m a man of my word, Dannielle. However, there have been times where people sent letters with my name but they weren’t from me.” He said with a shrug as he ate another grape. He smirked as he listened to her. “I hate the muggle world but I do know my way around certain places.” He stated. “Planes aren’t anything special.” He told her, “but at least you learned something.”


He smirked and nodded, “I’ve got a lot of power in my end and they always let me know everything.” he stated. “If you would have left to Italy, I probably wouldn’t have gone after you.” He said, “I wouldn’t think it was worth it to go after you. Coming here is one thing but having to go to Italy, that would be pointless. It would be clear that you wanted to run away and what everyone was saying about you, would have only proven true.” He added. He glanced to the door when he heard the announcement for the plane to Italy. He looked back to Dannie for the longest time as he listened to the announcement and what she had to say as he noticed more tears. He wiped the tears away gently, “Only you can choose that path, Dannielle. I can’t be with someone who looks to running. I don’t run. I stand, fight, and take whatever is coming my way... and that goes for me and anyone that I trust. I can’t fight this whole thing for you! Only you can do that. You start by going back. You start by telling people that they can’t push you around, spread rumours about you any more, and let them get away with the sh*t that they are pulling! You want it, take it. You can have everything you ever wanted but you have to fight for it!” he said, “Just stand up and take it!”

[Dannielle Marie Wood]

Dannie watched him looking for something to eat. She smiled when he picked some grapes and washed them and tossed one in the air and caught it. She had to smile when she saw that. She was happy to be there with him. And when he offered her some she could almost tell he didn't like being there. "Sure I'd love some." she said with a smile on her face. "You don't like being here do you?" she asked him for a moment before she popped a grape into her mouth.

Dannie looked at him for a moment. "How did I manage to do that?" she said for a moment. "That's a mean rotten stragety but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do!" she said for a moment as she popped another grape in her mouth. She looked at him when he said that another great idea. "Your welcome but may I ask what exactly are you planning for my idiot of a brother and may I help?" she asked him for a moment with a hopeful smile on her face.

Dannie looked at him for a moment. "I see and understand. I'm glad she has someone like you to go to for support." she said with a smile. "And I guess I have said a few things that I didn't even know about at all. And I didn't know about what happened to her or anything like that. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings Scor. I really didn't." she said with a small frown. "How was I suppose to know?" she asked him for a moment. "No one really knows what one's past is unless they tell them and since she or you nor did I ask about past or look it up I didn't know." she said for a moment.

Dannie looked at him when he wiped that tear away and listened to what he had to say for a moment. She let out a gulp for a moment. "I'm still scared Scor. What if they are better than me?" she asked him with a small frown on her face. "What if I'm not good enough?" she said for a moment. "Well good enough to get my point across." she said with a small frown.

Dannie had to think for a moment. "Truth be told I don't really like them that much. They pinch my cheeks and say how adorable I am and leave lipstick marks all over my face. I was going to tell them that I've quit the DA and joined the Slytherin Gang. They don't look to highly on Dark Magic. So it would be bad that they lost a niece and it would be good that I wouldn't have to go through the pinching of the cheeks and kissing the face ordeal. I only want guys to do that from now on. I'm too old for getting kisses from grandma's." she said with a small smile.

"How would I know if they weren't from you?" she asked him for a moment. "Is there particular way of knowing?" she asked him for a moment. "I got to be curious so this way I can watch out for the fakers." she said for a moment. "True. Those metal things that looks like a bit of a bird is a plane and that I need to take Muggle Studies." she said for a moment with a small laugh.

"I've noticed." she said looking at him for a moment. She listened to him speak for a moment. "But I would know the truth why I had or I guess I should say if I had went and their opinion shouldn't matter." she said for a moment. She let him wipe more tears away from her cheek. "I can't picture you running. And I want to fight. I want to stand up for myself." she said for a moment. "Then what are we waiting for?" she asked him as her tears began to slow down. "I'm sorry that I'm a crying fool." she said for a moment. She looked at him for a moment and really wanted to kiss him. The urge was too strong to keep fighting any longer. So she settled it by kissing him on his cheek.

[Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy]

Scorpius watched her with the grapes for a moment. He had to admit that she did seem adorable right now. He heard her question and chose to think about it before he would answer her question. He didn’t want her to get up and run out or get upset so he wanted to make sure that he worded it just right. He shook his head after a moment, “No, I’m not real interested in being here. Being with you is fine but being in here is not.” He stated in a low tone. He didn’t care for the room or building they were in since he used magic to lock the door. He also knew that it would only be time before someone would try to get in. He would have to find an alternate way out of the room. He also knew that if they were to just walk out they would be seen and the chase would be on. He started to glance around the room for an alternate escape route. “We’ve over stayed our welcome in this room. We walk out that door we will be seen for sure. I can’t very well attack someone here in the muggle world but I most likely would.” He explained. He smirked darkly, “So, here’s what we do. You stay close to me and not let me go I unlock that door.” He said pointing to the door then he pointed to the window, “Then I blow out that window and we take our leave.”

“Because Callie didn’t finish it or hold it up.” He explained as he handed her the rest of the grapes before he went over to inspect the window and the surroundings. “If Callie would have held it up and attacked it properly she would have succeed in her quest against you.” He added as he ran his finger along the seal of the window. “It’s a good strategy when it’s used correctly.” He said when he knocked on the window carefully. “I plan on teaching Cruento a serious lesson on keeping his mouth shut about things that deal with the gang and if it ends in the loss of his life then all the better.” He added as he turned and walked away from the window only to check the next two windows. “I plan on having you a*sist me when dealing and teaching Cruento a few things!” he added as he pulled out his wand.

“Who else was she going to go to? Our youngest brother wasn’t really able to help her in any way shape or form. Draco wasn’t ever around and when he was he didn’t know what to do or say to her. My mother just yelled at her to shut it and when callie didn’t listen our mother beat her with a broom handle to make it something worth freaking out over.” He said as he walked back towards her before he turned to face the middle window. “I know you didn’t mean to hurt Callie’s feelings.” He added when he glanced to Dannie. “Callie can sometimes be a little over sensitive and I didn’t really plan that meeting well enough anyway, so says Callie. No one would speak of Callie’s past since anyone who knows her past I’d kill them without a second thought if they let it out.” He said as he turned back to the window. He paused when he heard voices near the door.

“The only time you should be scared is when they check that door and realize they can’t get in.” He stated with a smirk, “But then again, it’s the fun rush of an escape. You have nothing to worry about. Just remember the spells that I teach you but I have a better place to teach you how to attack than here.” He said. “However, remember the spell Sectumsempra” he paused to turn back to the window. “It’ll safe your life on so many accounts.” He raised his wand, “Expulso!” he said aiming it at the window as it blew outward and gla*s went everywhere. He used himself to shield Dannie from any gla*s that came back at them. He felt a few shards of gla*s cut him and the blood slowly starting to run down from the cuts. “Don’t stress too much on it. I will teach you and you’ll be ready for anything that they can throw at you. But you need a little confidence and to learn a few spells.” He added as he turned back to her.

“Then they shouldn’t be worth the time of day.” He said. “Don’t like something, don’t do it. The same with people. You don’t like them don’t be around them. It’s a waste of time when you could be enjoying that time.” He shrugged, “Send them an owl. I’ve left the DA, joined the gang, and entered the dark side.” He said with a smirk. “We have more fun anyway then those goodie-two-shoes.” He added. He smirked as he walked over to her and pinched her cheek gently, “Aw how cute.” He said in a mocking yet joking tone.

“People who copy me always miss the ‘H’ in my signature.” He stated as he looked back to the door. He could feel his own pulse starting to rise knowing that they were about to be caught. He smirked as his mind started to race with ideas on how to solve this problem with having a little fun. He spun his wand around in his hand, “Or its so you can pa*s it on to someone so they can fake my name.” He said in a non-serious tone. “Also, I always send my owls with Chaos. A green amazon. Not a regular owl... if it comes off an owl someone else sent it. Even kota and Callie send my letters out by Chaos.” He added. “Muggle studies is a bore.” He added as he gripped his wand and aimed it at the door. “Should I or should I not, that is the question.”

“Maybe so however, everyone and everything is connected somehow, so with everything that you touched and did would affect everyone and everything that you left behind like me and my rep that is used to protect Callie and Dakota.” He stated, “Not to mention, you’d also ruin your own name so that when you did return people would talk and ridicule you.” He added. He turned back to Dannie and walked over to her taking her hand in his free hand and carefully pulling her up to her feet. “That’s because running isn’t in my blood. It was in Draco’s blood to run away. I can’t run. I’d rather die fighting for something I believe in, cherish and love then die knowing that I was worthless, a coward, and someone who was all talk.” He stated. He shook it off, “Don’t worry about it. I’m use to girls crying. I’m not a fan of it but I’m use to it. Kota and Callie do that a lot around me and I always pick up the pieces.” He looked to her as she kissed his cheek. He smiled slightly as he looked to her. “I think it’s time to go to the Malfoy Manor.” He said when he heard the people at the door. He didn’t look away from her as he unlocked the door and used Incendio to start a fire right by the door. “Good thing for Skylar and knowing his magic.” He still looks to her. He kissed her gently on the corner of her lips before he looked to her, “Don’t let go of me.” He said before pulled her close against him as he held her and Apparated out of the room through the broken window to the Malfoy Manor.

[Dannielle Marie Wood]

Dannie watch him as he choose his words. When he said that he really wasn't being interesting being where they were at but was fine being there with her she let out a smile on her face come out. "I can understand that!" she said for a moment. She really did understand that. She listned to what he had said for a moment and wondered what he had in mind for getting out of here. But then she thought she may just want do what he said at the moment. "Okay!" she said for a moment.

She nodded when he talked about Callista. She then wondered what might of happened if it had worked. She could only imagine she would have been the one crying much. She had wondered about a lot of things and she watched him tap on the window. This guy was dead set on leaving any other way than the door itself. He probably had a point. "Can I hear the plan you are planning on Cruento?" she asked him after he had said he had planned on her a*sistance.

"Isn't he in Gryffindor?" she asked him for a moment. She hadn't really spoken to his brother and wondered much about him. "Well I can see that she can trust you!" she said with a smile on her face. She wasn't exactly sure what else to say to that so she just listened to what else he had to say. "Her mother abused her to make it much worse?" she asked him in a bit of a shock. "That's lame." she added to that. "Right so now I know a little I won't spread the word." she said with a truthful tone. She really meant it. She looked towards the door when she heard voices near the door.

She listened to what he had said for a moment. She looked around for a moment. "Well you are right about here people could hear and they would break down the door and we would be in serious trouble with the Ministry!" she said with a small smile. She was about to ask him about what was 'Sectumsempra' was when he broke the window and sheild her from the gla*s. She listened to what he was saying and she suddenly saw his cut. "How can one not be when they are preparing to go against a seventh year?" she asked him for a moment still looking at his cut. She wasn't feeling a bit queesy but she hoped that it will be all right.

She listened to what he said for a moment. "You got a point there. " she said for a moment and then decided she wasn't going to visit them again. "True that." she said with a smile and then thought of something. "I can imagine their faces turning red." she said for a moment. "That would be a sight to see though!" she said for a moment. She had to laugh at his mocking yet joking tone when he pinched her cheek gently. "You don't pinch to hard but really did you have to pinch. I guess I should have said I only want guys to kiss me the pinching could just go away!" she said with a small laugh. "But I did like that it was gentle. Grandma's do it too hard." she said for a moment.

"Well I'm glad to know that now." she said for a moment. "Before it was too late." she said for a moment. "Interesting way to send mail." she said with a small smile on her face. "What is a green amazon a snake?" she asked him for a moment with a small smile on her face. She looked at him for a moment. "You took Muggle Studies?" she asked him for a moment not aware that they were close of being caught.

"I'd ruin my own name?" she asked him for a moment as she let him take her hand into his. She stood up when he helped her up. She listened to what he had said and then watched a smile appear on his face. "Skylar is awesome by the way." she said for a moment. And then that brought a question to her mind. She was about to ask when he kissed her on the corner of her cheek. "Okay!" she said for a moment and wrapped her arms around his waist and held on tight with her head on his shoulder as they apparated.
