Prologue
Cold dark eyes stared at his stormy grey ones.
“Find her, you’ll be greatly rewarded.” The snakelike tongue hissed as he spoke.
The figure stood before his Lord. “She could be anywhere my Lord.”
“I don’t want your doubt. I want your results. You haven’t failed me yet. You would do anything for your Lord? Wouldn’t you?” The dark eyes raked over his minion narrowing slightly as he leaned forward staring straight into him.
“Yes my Lord” The servant bowed his head breaking the eye contact.
He leaned back once again “Then find her. Bring my daughter to me Draco.”
Draco sat thinking in the study of the Malfoy manner. Why give the task to him? Why not his father or one of the others? Because Draco was loyal, and showed results. Voldemort wanted a fresh new army and he was gathering it quickly. He needed young viral blood in his ranks from the Harry Potter generation. Draco pushed up from the huge easy chair in his study. He had very little to go on and he knew Dumbledore had her hidden after Voldemort disappeared. So get into the old mans head. He thought for awhile and had a hunch and decided to follow it. He pulled open his study door.
“Goyle” A tall dark haired man appeared. “Round up any information on what Dumbledore did the year Potter was born.” Draco quickly shut the door in his face after he nodded. Draco went to his bookcase looking at a few references. Knowing Dumbledore he would put her in a place they wouldn’t suspect. They all waited for the day they would be sent after the girl. Voldemort bred the ultimate weapon. Unfortunately he hadn’t planned on Harry. Dumbledore found her and hid her before Lucius got her. Which caused him severe punishment when the Dark Lord returned. Lucius had the lashing scars from his Lords anger. Draco had been his only solace. Draco was the young, promising, prominent death eater Voldemort smiled upon. Lucius being the right hand man he was had now made a slot for Draco and they were the highest in command you could get. He was actually exhilarated to finally be getting her. The talks over when and where were rumors among them since before his return. Knowing Dumbledore he had her well hidden. Draco spent seven years studying the old man though and his ways. He knew Harry Potter was one of her protectors as well now. He knew the golden trio knew where she was. The best ploy was to let on, that she was in no harm still. That Voldemort didn’t want her yet. Knowing she was Voldemort's blood he was surprised she wasn’t killed. Dumbledore always did see the good in everyone though, which would be his weakness. There was no good in Voldemort's blood. Draco smirked to himself. He wondered if she ever knew who she was. What kind of crap Dumbledore and the others had fed her. She was destined to this, was born for this. Just like him.
He stayed up all night going over papers, information and making connections. It was going to be a lot of work Dumbledore had covered his tracks very well and what Draco was getting the impression, was that Dumbledore kept moving her. There was a knock at the study door.
“Come in” He called not looking up. He didn’t have to look up to know who it was.
“Have you tracked her yet?” Lucius stood inside the door as it closed.
Draco didn’t even look up. “I wouldn’t still be sitting here if I had.”
“Insolence isn’t tolerated.” Lucius leaned over the desk at him. Draco looked up at him over his eyeglasses.
“If you hadn’t lost her, I wouldn’t have to find her” He smirked sarcastically.
Lucius eyes narrowed. “Make sure you don’t make my mistakes” He threatened.
I already have Draco thought to himself as Lucius exited the room. He looked back down at the papers. He knew it was there. He looked at the new information that had been given to him. They didn’t know where the headquarters was. She wouldn’t be with them though. They would have her secluded just incase. She wouldn’t be with anybody else. She would get the same visitor or visitors. It would be risky moving her about. They tried to make it look like they did though. Your smarter then this Draco he chanted to himself. This would be the ultimate task and he would be higher then his father to Voldemort if he could return his daughter. He sneered. Somewhere close to them but someplace they would think she was safe secluded by herself. Someplace one of them would visit regularly. Wait! Draco looked through the papers. Since Harry’s birth, Dumbledore had made regular trips to Ireland for a conference, every summer. They played Ireland at the Quidditch Cup. That’s It! Malfoy smiled. “Good Play old man. Right under our noses”
Draco got up and went down to the parlor. “Zabini, gather up Macnair, and Greyback. I found her”
Zabini grinned. “ I’m on it”
“We leave in an hour” Draco told him. Blaise nodded and was off. He closed his door and his smiled widened. He was going to be rewarded greatly. He took the top people just incase. They didn’t know what they were going to be dealing with protection wise. She shouldn’t be a problem, or so he thought.
Her head reared back in laughter at the people around her. Once in a lifetime she got to leave that bloody house. She was alone most of the time. They would occasionally visit seldom though for protection reasons. She had been closely guarded since birth more so the last 7 years. She had been trained, and trained, and trained more for the last 7 years. They all knew there would come a day and he would want her. She was his heir. That would be something huge with the snake, since he was so big on pure blood. He would want his blood to carry him on. Something she would never do. She had to admit, she was very well trained. She knew her way around plenty of dark magic thanks to her friends and Dumbledore. She would have to deal with him. She looked outside as she walked to the balcony and the breeze ran over her. Time was going to run out for her. She knew it would probably be sooner then later.
Dumbledore’s eyes scanned her and knew as well her luck for time was running out. She was 21, and the Dark Lord had risen again 7 years ago. Their side of sand in the hour glass was barley there anymore. He could only hope they had prepared her for this war. She had to give up her life to live in anonymity. She didn’t get to go to school except for one year almost a full year. Till they had to extract her quickly as the death eaters attacked. She had been secluded to that house. It really wasn’t fair to her.
