Chapter 14

I breathed out slowly. Barty was good at legilimency, that is what the Dark lord had ordered to be done to us. Voldemort wanted to get inside our minds to make sure we weren't hiding anything or to uncover our true feelings about his cause.

Barty had tried breaking into my thoughts all day and although he was skilled, it wasn't doing him much good.

"Stop resisting!" Barty yelled at me

I raised an eyebrow

"Who says I'm resisting that much? Maybe you just suck at you're job" I said staring daggers at him. He was getting to my last nerve, I had been in this god forsaken chair all day blocking his best attempts to infiltrate my mind.

Barty scowled at me

"Well it just shows you've got something to hide doesn't it" he smirked "and if I can't find it I promise you sweetheart, the Dark lord will" he whispered threateningly in my ear

I knew it was true I may have been able to keep Barty from entering my thoughts but there was no way I could keep out Voldemort. I was good at Occlumency, Blaise and I had come across it in the library one day whilst pretending to study. We found it interesting and decided it would be a good thing to know considering our allegiance predicament.

I thought for a bit should I let Barty into my head at the off chance he wouldn't tell Voldemort about the power I would gain once I come of age. No way I couldn't, as if he'd keep that to himself and I couldn't risk him seeing my letter from Dumbledore. Nothing says traitor like a letter from the head of the order of the Phoenix.

An hour later Blaise was dragged into the room

"Blaise!!" I yelled

He looked at me quickly

"Mysti! Are you okay" He said quickly

"Shutup boy!!" Said the death eater restraining Blaise

I nodded at Blaise

Suddenly the huge doors to the drawing room opened...

Voldemort walked in. I could almost feel my stomach drop.

"These are the two we can't crack my lord" said one of his death eaters whilst bowing at his feet

Voldemort stared us up and down

"I'm very busy and you call me here because you are incapable of getting into the minds of teenagers?" Voldemort spat

"They are skilled at Occlumency my lord" Barty said clearing his throat

Voldemort looked us up and down, his mind silently deciding our fate

"You are both removed from this task" Voldemort said looking at Barty and the death eater who was restraining Blaise. Relief flooded my body I would no longer have to deal with Barty. Although we would be assigned new death eaters to crack us.

After dinner I lay out on the grass with Scabior my head in his lap while he played guitar. I looked up at the stars as they slowly became more visible with the vastly disappearing light.

"Can it always be like this?" I said staring into the darkness

"Of course Mysti" he said putting his guitar Down and wrapping his arms around me

"What about the war and Voldemort?" I whispered

"We will be fine Mysti, it's not our burden to bear"

"But it will be!" I almost yelled as tears filled my green eyes

"Hey Mysti, I won't let anything happen to you, okay?" Scabior said wiping my tears

"Promise?" I sniffed

Scabior smiled

"Promise Mysti, I love you"

"I love you too" I said leaning in to kiss him

Bartys POV (just for a change lol)

I was walking in the courtyard after dinner, furious that i had been removed from the task of Infiltrating minds. I was so good at it usually but for some reason i could not enter Mysti's thoughts, as if she was a weakness. I shook my head she was NOT a weakness of mine she was simply skilled at Occlumency just like her other friend we could not crack.

I rounded a corner and heard voices, quickly i ducked behind the nearest bush

"what about the war? and Voldemort" said a voice i recognized as Mysti's

  "We will be fine Mysti, it's not our burden to bear" said a second voice which belonged to her filthy half-blood boyfriend. I rolled my eyes at his comment. He was about to be branded with the dark mark and he wasn't even worthy. "Of course its your burden to bear dick" i said under my breath

I listened for the next bit of the conversation

  "Hey Mysti, I won't let anything happen to you, okay?" i internally gagged. When did this become the sequel to the notebook?

I decided to leave before their disgusting couplyness tested my gag reflex once again.
