Living a Lie

Chapter 13: Betrayed.

Sarah walked into the first hallway. She had just remembered that she needed to ask Dumbledore something. She wasn’t watching where she was going as usual and bumped into someone.
“Sorry.” Sarah apologized without looking up at the person. The person grabber her arm roughly and whirled her around. Sarah looked up to see Jasmine.
“I can’t let you see him. You know to much.” Jasmine whispered calmly.
“What on earth are you talking about?” Sarah winced as her arm began to burn.
“I can not let you find out anymore then you already know. You can’t know and you never will.” Jasmine whispered harshly.
“Get off me!” Sarah struggled to get her arm free. Sarah felt a heavy blow to her head and fell to the floor with a thud.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco stood outside happily, knowing that he and Sarah were now together. After a few minutes he began to get the urge to follow Sarah. That she needed some help. He began to follow the urge. The closer he got to the school the more the urge pushed him.
He then began to run. He ran into the school. Crabbe and Goyle stood in front of him waiting to talk to him.
“Piss off.” Draco snapped at them.
“Ok.” Crabbe and Goyle stepped away. Draco ran straight past them. He ran towards Dumbledore’s office. He could hear muffled voices from around the corner. He turned into the hall and saw Jasmine dragging Sarah down the hallway. “SARAH!” Draco shouted as he felt his insides churn. Jasmine looked up and saw Draco running towards her. Draco was about to take out his wand and Jasmine dropped Sarah and took out hers.
“Wingardium Leviosa!” She shouted. Draco flew into the air.
“Let me down!” Draco demanded.
“Waddiwasi!” Jasmine shouted again. Draco flew across the hall and hit at a fast speed. He groaned as he slid down the wall and landed on the ground. Jasmine walked over to him and crouched down beside him. “You never realised what you had in front of you, didn’t you? You never knew that I was there waiting for you, wanting you.” Jasmine bent down and licked the side of Draco’s cheek. “But you were always to busy fucking all the girls you could get your hands on, when it should have been me all the time.” Jasmine grabbed Draco’s chin and forced her tongue into his mouth. Draco pushed her away and she fell. He quickly stood up and kicked her in the stomach. Jasmine cried in pain.
Draco ran over to Sarah. She was laying on the floor slowly fluting her eyes open. He tried to pick her up but the pain in his back became worse. Sarah felt Draco try to pick her up. She pushed his hands away from her and stood up herself. Her head was throbbing in pain.
Jasmine was pulling her self up off the ground clutching her stomach. When jasmine lifted up her face it wasn’t the pretty face that Sarah had known as her friend. It was evil and she had a contorted smirk.
“Are you ok?” Sarah asked Draco as she kept her eye on Jasmine.
“Yeah you?”
“I’m fine.”
“Bastard!” Jasmine pointed her wand at Draco, her voice sounded different. She began to mutter words in some other language, Draco and Sarah weren’t able to understand. Jasmine slowly walked towards Sarah and Draco. Sarah and Draco slowly walked backwards. Sarah felt the cold stone wall hit her back.
Jasmine moved her wand and pointed it at Sarah, never loosing her gaze. Sarah turned to Draco.
“Draco where do we go?” Sarah asked. Trying to find a way to get out. Draco took her hand in his and squeezed it tight. Sarah felt a little safer. Jasmines chants became louder as she advanced on them. Sarah checked her robes, trying to find her wand, but couldn’t. Now she began to worry.
Sarah looked around and saw an amour statue. She ran to the statue and pulled out the shining silver sword. A surge of power rushed through her body. The sword was heavy but not to her. Jasmine cackled. Sarah swung the sword back and forth as she advanced on Jasmine. Jasmine kept cackling. Sarah began to get angry and swung the sword at Jasmine hitting her in the right shoulder.
Jasmine screamed in agony and raised her wand a. Sh. She screamed a spell and Sarah fell to the floor. She was paralyzed. She couldn’t move at all, she couldn’t even open her eyes. Draco ran to Sarah’s side and tried to move her but she was as stiff as a rock.
Jasmine was getting impatient. She walked up behind Draco and grabbed his neck. Draco’s hands flew up to his neck and he tried to pull away Jasmine’s hands.
“Get off me.” Draco croaked.
“Draco I’m going to kill you and then I will kill her as I was supposed to when she was back at Durmstrang.” Jasmine hissed.
“No you fucking wont.” Draco ripped Jasmine’s hands away from him and ran over to where he had left his wand.
“Advada-“ Jasmine began. Draco grabbed his wand and pointed it to Jasmine.
“Explelliarmus!” Draco shouted. Jasmine’s wand flew out of her hand. “Accio wand.” Draco called and Jasmines wand landed in his hand.
“NO!” Jasmine cried.
“Not to good with out your wand are you?” Draco took each end of Jasmines wand and snapped it in half. Jasmine lunged herself at Draco. “Petrificus Totalus!” Jasmine froze in mid air and fell to the floor with a thump. Draco bent down and grabbed each side of Jasmine’s face. “No one ever wanted you, no one ever knew who you were. To bad now, you’ve gone and got you’re sstucstuck in Azkaban.” Draco dropped her head and ran over to Sarah. “Sarah?” Sarah could feel her body regain its feeling. She started to move her fingers gradually being able to sit up. Draco grabbed her and gave her a hug.
“Thank you. If you weren’t here I don’t know what I would have done.” Sarah kept her arms wrapped around him.
“Just as long as you’re alright. Are you ok?”
“Yes.” Sarah slowly let go of Draco. “You?”
“I’m good.” Draco smiled. Sarah gave him a kiss.
“I’ll get Dumbledore. You watch her.” Sarah stood up.
“Alright.” Draco stood up holing out his wand. Sarah ran off in the direction of Dumbledore’s office. Sarah saw McGonagall Snape and Dumbledore rushing in her direction.
“Sarah!” Dumbledore called.
“Professor I was just going to get you.” Sarah ran up umblumbledore.
“Dear girl where is Jasmine?” Dumbledore asked in a rushed tone.
“Draco’s watching her. She’s gone mad.” Sarah replied.
“Do take us to her now.” McGonagall ordered.
“Sure.” Sarah walked back over to Draco. Dumble loe looked at Jasmine lying on the ground.
“Mr. Malfoy take the spell off her.”
“Ok.” Draco let Jasmine free of the binding charm. Jasmine stood up wobbling slightly. She looked at Dumbledore.
“I thought that there was something odd about you Miss Carmondy. But of course you are not Miss Carmondy you are Samara Lancôme.” Dumbledore sad calmly. “Where is the original Miss Carmondy?”
“I don’t know. But I know you’ll never find her.” Samara cackled.
“Come with us Miss Lancôme.” Dumbledore said. “Draco, Sarah I would prefer it if you would not mention this to anyone.” Snape and McGonagall walked off with their wands out and Samara walking in-between them.
“Yes sir.” Sarah and Draco nodded.
“Good. You two may go.”
“Ok.” Sarah and Draco turned around. Dumbledore followed Snape and McGonagall. Draco took out his wand.
“Orchidenous.” Flowers sprung out of the tip of Draco’s wand. Sarah looked at him. “These are for you.” Draco gave Sarah the flowers.
“Thanks.” Sarah laughed. “Just what I needed.” Sarah slipped her free hand in to Draco’s.

*****
Draco and Sarah were sitting in the Common room with Carmen talking about what happened. Auroras had been searching Sarah’s dorm room. They went thought all of Carmen’s and Sarah’s belongings and Carmen had gone absolutely nuts over the sate of her things.
“I can’t believe that they can do this.” Carmen ranted.
“I know, but Car think about it they need to do this to find out any clues about Samara and Jasmine.” Sarah reasoned.
“Yeah ok I understand but they could at least do it nicely.”
“Yeah I agree.”
“Yeah.” Draco laughed.
“Draco it’s not funny.” Carmen spat.
“Sorry.” Draco apologized.
“I just can’t wait to go home.” Sarah sighed. Carmen sat down thinking and not listening to what Sarah was saying.
“Same here. Get away from everything.”
“Yeah.” Sarah nodded. “I just want to be home with my parents.” Draco just nodded, he didn’t really want to be with his parents. “When we go back we have to keep in touch.”
“Of course. Anything to keep seeing you.”
“You’re not a bad partner you know.” Sarah chuckled.
“Thanks.” Draco smiled.
“You’re welcome.” Sarah looked over to Carmen. “What are you going to do on the holidays Car?”
“Huh?” Carmen popped out of her thoughts.
“What are you going to do on the holidays?” Sarah asked again.
“Um I’m going on holiday.”
“That’s good.”
“Yeah.” Carmen just nodded. “ARGH! I’M SO ANGRY!” Carmen shouted. Sarah and Draco stared at her. “Sorry, sorry.” Carmen apologized.
“It’s ok.” Sarah laughed. “Well I’m going to go and have a chat with Dumbledore.” Sarah stood up.
“Ok, want me to come?”
“No. You stay here and watch her.” Sarah pointed over to Carmen.
“Ok.”
“Bye.” Sarah walked out of the common room and walked around the corridors. She walked up a couple of staircases and down another hallway. She wanted to ask Dumbledore who Samara was and what she was doing. She walked up the spiral staircase to the office door and knocked on it. The door opened. Sarah looked up at the person and saw Dumbledore did she not. She had never seen this man before.
“Hello.” The man greeted. Sarah looked past the man and saw Samara tied up with restraints. She was surrounded with auroras and the minister of magic.
“Ah, hi. I was just looking for professor Dumbledore.”
“Albus? He should be in Severus Snape’s office. We’re borrowing his office for a few more minutes.” The wizard replied nicely.
“Thank you.” Sarah smiled.
“Are you Miss Harrison?” He asked.
“Yes I am.” Sarah nodded.
“It’s nice to meet you.” The man put out his hand.
“And you to sir.” Sarah shook his hand.
“I would like you to some to the Ministry tomorrow. We will be holding a trial for Miss Lancôme.”
“I guess I’ll be there.”
“Albus shall explain everything to you.””
“Well thank you again.”
“No problem.” The man smiled. Sarah smiled back and turned away. She headed down to the ground floor of Hogwarts and winded through the dark hallways till she found Snape’s office. She stood by the door, just about to knock on it when it swung open and there stood Dumbledore.
“Hello Sarah. I was just about to go and look for you.” Dumbledore said with a kind soft tone.
“Well I came to you.”
“Yes you did. Come in.” Dumbledore moved aside to let Sarah through. Sarah walked into Snape’s office. Dumbledore closed the door behind her. Sarah had never been in Snape’s office before and had never taken a good look at it. She observed the jars of preserved body parts of animals and magical creatures. “Do sit.” Dumbledore pointed to the chair next to his. Sarah sat down.
“May I say something before we start talking?” Sarah asked.
“Go ahead.”
“I want to thank you.” Sarah looked at Dumbledore. “For being so nice to me over the year.”
“You are extremely welcome my dear.” Dumbledore grinn “An “And you too professor.” Sarah looked over at Snape. Snape just nodded in return. A student had never thanked him in that way before, usually they would bad mouth him.
“Now Sarah I presume that you have come here to talk about Samara am I right?” Dumbledore changed conversation.
“Yes.” Sarah nodded.
“Good. Samara is a death eater.”
“Ok. So why was she trying to kill me then?” Sarah did not understand. She was a Slytherin. “I thought that most Death Eaters come from Slytherin house.”
“That’s right.” Snape interrupted. “But you are different. You are able to make changes.”
“Yes. And because you are different you are a threat against Voldemort.” Dumbledore pointed out. Sarah didn’t cringe as she hear the Dark Lords name.
“Oh.” Was all Sarah could say. Apparently she wanted to be killed by death eaters and non death eaters.
“You are much stronger then Voldemort shall ever be and that threatens him. With out you he has a chance to succeed.” Dumbledore explained.
“So you’re saying that people who think that I am the follower of Voldemort want me and people who are followers of Voldemort want me dead?” This just seemed so odd to Sarah.
“Yes that is correct.” Dumbledore nodded.
“Great.” Sarah scoffed. “What am I supposed to do now?”
“Hogwarts is highly protected. Every student will be searched and the start of each year. We won’t let anything like this happen again.” Dumbledore assured.
“I hope so.” Sarah sighed.
“Jasmine has past.” Dumbledore muttered with a sad tone.
“I kind of guessed that.” Sarah looked up at Dumbledore. “How did you find out?”
“We had a search of the forbidden forest and found her body in a trunk.” Dumbledore looked away. How could he have let another student die at the hands of a death eater again? He asked himself.
“How long do you think that she had been dead for?” Sarah asked.
“Most of the school year.” Snape answered.
“So I was friends with a death eater all year?”
“Yes.”
“Ok.” Sarah took in a breath. “What I don’t understand is that a girl her age wanted to be with Draco.” Sarah found that to be a little sick and perverted.
“Some times when one is under a potion like Polyjuice potion for a long period of time they tend to take over the emotional feeling of the person they have become.” Dumbledore informed.
“The real Jasmine had a crush on Draco?”
“Yes.” Dumbledore nodded.
“Poor her. She probably was a nice girl to be around.” Sarah smiled, wondering what the real Jasmine was really like. “Any way I want to have a chat about the trial.”
“How did you know abohat?hat?” Dumbledore knew he had not told her yet.
“The man in your office told me.”
“Oh. The trial will be held tomorrow. The ministry would like you to be there when they need to ask questions.”
“Ok.”
“Good. I would like you to be at my office immediately after lunch.”
“Yes professor.” Sarah nodded.
“Good dear. You may go if you wish.”
“Ok.” Sarah stood up. “Thank you sir.” Sarah walked over to the office door. “Good bye professors.” Sarah left the office walkwalked down the hallway, till she bumped into something. “Ouch.”
“Hmm.” A male voice grumbled. Sarah looked up.
“Oh sorry Draco.” Sarah apologized.
“Its alright.”
“So what’s going on with you?” Sarah asked.
“Looking for you.” Draco replied.
“Oh, that’s nice.”
“What’s going on with you?”
“Just had a chat to Snape and Dumbledore.” Sarah pointed behind her.
“What they say?” Draco’s curiosity over took him.
“How about we go for a walk? Maybe to the Quidditch pitch. I’ve never seen it from the ground and I’ll tell you all about it while we walk.”
“Sure.”
“Cool.” Sarah grabbed Draco’s hand and they both walked away.
