Chapter 6

"What do you mean They're out Draco?!"

I yelled pacing back and forth in the empty classroom

"Keep your voice down!!" He hissed

I shook my head in disbelief

"Hide I think someone's coming!!"
Draco commanded

"Seriously-" I began

"Mysti just do it!"

I crouched behind the teachers desk and Draco ran over to join me.

"This is all you're fault" Draco whispered

I rolled my eyes amusingly at him until we heard the door click.

I could feel Draco tense up next to me and held my breath. We could hear the heavy footsteps slowly making their way closer to our hiding spot. I silently prayed that whomever it was they wouldn't stay long...

"You can come out now you fools" said a deep voice"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My body froze as I slowly rose up from the protection of the desk. My eyes lay on the person in front of me. It was snape. I exhaled in relief and glanced at Draco who looked as equally relieved as I was.

"You were stupidly unwise to discuss such things in a classroom" he said glaring at Draco

"Sorry sir but she needed to know" Draco stated

"Yes, however Miss Lestrange has a such a loud volume than everyone could now know" he said smugly

"So i-is it true" I asked quietly

"I'm afraid so. They've been out for a while conspiring with him" Snape replied

"Oh" was all i could get out

"I imagine they'll be wanting to recruit you two over the summer" Snape drawled

"It would be so helpful for them to have you on their side Mysti, you know with all your power and everything there's not much he wouldn't do to secure you're support of his cause" he continued

I knew it was true my 'secret' made me valuable in the approaching war. It was predicted 50 years ago by Sybil trewlaney that whomever had the support of the only lestrange child would go on to win the war.

I knew i would be supporting the dark lord there was no other choice for me my parents would expect nothing less from me and so would everyone else.

"Anyway there will be many meetings at the malfoys over the upcoming Christmas holidays so I will see you then" Snape said as he began to exit the room

"Oh and do try not to get into any trouble" he said as he walked towards the door

"I'm talking to you Mysti" Snape added as he slammed the door

I shared a brief look of annoyance with Draco

"Shit it's almost ten we should get back the common room before we get a glorious detention" said Draco his voice dripping with sarcasm

I nodded, my brain was still trying to process the fact that my parents were out of azkaban and in less than two weeks i would be seeing them for the first time since i was a baby.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I paced in one of the corridors in the ministry of magic. Waiting patiently for the door in front of me to open.

"Miss Lestrange please enter" said an official voice

I walked into the pristine office not one thing was out of place

"I only have a moment so this best be quick" said Barty Crouch Senior

I nodded silently swallowing a lump in my throat

"I wanted to please ask permission to be granted visiting rights to azkaban" I asked boldly

"Why would I grant that Miss Lestrange?" He asked

"Please I beg you I just wish to see my parents, please!" I said beginning to get worked up

"Miss Lestrange you're so called parents are mass murderers who have earn't their place in azkaban more than many others, I would consider it a danger to you're well being if I were to allow you to see them"

"But they don't even know me I just want to talk to them, please, Mr crouch" I cried as hot tears spilled over my eyes

"I'm late for something you'll have to excuse me" he said ushering me out of his office

"Mysti" he said using my first name "I did you a favour you don't want parents like that, you're better off without them" he said as he began to walk away

"Are you better off without you're son?" I asked wiping my tears. Mr crouch stopped walking and stood still for a few seconds before swiftly walking away leaving me without an answer

My eyes sprung open I awoke breathing lightly I exhaled I wasn't at the ministry I was In my bed at hogwarts. It was just a dream or a memory in dream form whatever it was I didn't want to remember.
