Dracos Dark Past Catches Up with Him
Draco felt like tearing his hair out. He, Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Dumbledore were all waiting in a holding room. The guards would be bringing Cho Chang to them, everyone feeling it was best not to parade him and Potter through the prison. He was grateful for that, personally knowing many of the people imprisoned there and what they were capable of. The Order's directive was capture if possible, kill if necessary. Voldemort and his follower's directive was kill if possible, capture if necessary. They had no reason to capture Draco, and so death could come to him at any time. It was Potter they wanted alive.
Finally the door opened and his heart leapt into his throat. He was supposed to protect Cho last year, and had turned on her instead. If she really was orchestrating some grand scheme against the others from behind bars, then he hated to think what she had planned for him. Feeling cowardly for his thoughts, he straightened up and put on a smug face. After all, he would be the one getting to leave after they were done here.
They sat her at the small table and shackled her to the chair, which was bolted down to the floor. She certainly didn't look like the cute girl she had once been at Hogwarts. Her hair hung in long tangles around her face, which was streaked with dirt. Her eyes were hidden under dark shadows, large purplish marks indicating her lack of sleep. He had been worried about his own rapid weight loss, but she looked down right emaciated.
"I have nothing to say to any of you." She said in a detached voice.
"But we have plenty for you to hear." Dumbledore calmly replied.
(BREAK)
"Oh, hey." Ron said uncertainly. He had been trying to kill time until Harry and his dad returned and had gone to shoot pool in the parlor. Instead, he found Luna, curled up with those files they had gotten from the ministry.
"Hi." She said with a smile, brushing a long strand of golden hair behind her ear. He instantly felt the need to go and throw himself at her feet and beg for forgiveness. To tell her he had been wrong and still loved her. But that was Harry's M.O. and he didn't want to seem insincere.
"I didn't mean to bother you..." he turned to leave but she stopped him.
"It's fine, Ron. I was kind of hoping we'd get the chance to talk."
That was all the invitation he had needed. They hadn't spoken since their fight in Trelawney's tower at THE END
