Chapter 10

                                    

                                          
            
                          
"Wake up! Alv!" I groaned as Hermione jumped on me. "Get dressed. Now." She said and got off me. 
                          
"Tell me, what is your father up to?" I asked. Malfoy starred at me for a while and replied reluctantly, "He joined the Dark Lord, which you probably already know that. He doesn't share much with me...but I know he's manipulating Fudge." 
                          
Last night event kept replaying in my head as I get dressed. 
                          
"The Dark Lord has been trying to get into Potter's head...yours as well, I reckon." Malfoy told me. My heart thumped loudly and I pray that Malfoy couldn't hear, I tried to keep calm as I asked, "What else do you know?" 
                          
I walked down the hall with Hermione and poured a cup of orange juice for both of us. "Morning..." Ron grumbled, followed by Harry. "How was detention, Harry?" Hermione asked worriedly. 
                          
"He also...er..." Malfoy stopped and looked at me suspiciously, "Why...Alvina? How do I know if you're even on our side?" "Do you even know what's going on between me and my father?" I replied coldly and his mouth dropped open, "Of course not," He said quickly, "The Dark Lord wanted me to keep an eye on you this year...that's all." "For what?" I asked, pushing my fear to the back of my head. 
                          
"It was fine. She made me wrote lines." Harry replied, not looking at us. "That's not bad." Hermione let out a relieved sigh. "Where were you last night?" she turned to Ron. 
                          
"To make sure you're not a double spy from Dumbledore." 
                          
Ron gulped, "Eh...I was..." his voice cracked and his face flushed. 
                          
"So I told you all I know. Now, tell me." Malfoy pulled out his wand, "Are you on our side or not?" 
                          
"What?" Harry asked. 
                          
I smirked, "Of course, I am." 
                          
"I was going for a walk!" Ron exclaimed. "The weather was really nice." 
                          
I can tell I'm not the only one who is keeping a secret.
