Clemency

A/N- I have a slight writers block, so this chapter will probably kind of boring I'm sorry.

I know the direction I want to take the story but I'm not sure how to play it out.

Violet Black

I was surprised by his words at first.

I did love him, I believe.

I hadn't ever been this attached to someone before. Or ever for that matter.

Merlin Violet, fucking say something, stop sitting here in silence.

I gulp before answering. "I love you too Tom" I coo, looking him in his beautiful mesmerizing emerald green eyes. Suddenly all the sadness I was feeling before, slipped away.

He leans over and places a gentle kiss onto my forehead, wrapping his hand behind my neck. "We should get going, my love." I say as he pulls away and smiles at me.

He sets down a few sickles and galleons, and takes my hand wrapping his fingers around mine.

We walk into the chilly air, as we both shiver holding each other close.

We make our way back up to the castle finally.

"I have to- go check something real- uh fast- I'll be right back." Tom says as he looks down the abandon hallway on the first floor near the girls lavatory.

I furrow my brows in confusion, "Uh- alright I-I'll meet you  in the commons?" He hums his reply.

He seemed very intrigued by that bathroom for some reason.

No one ever went in there.

Weird.

I just ignored his sudden jumpiness as he walked down the corridor, as I begin walking down to the dungeons.

I was walking unusually fast; thoughts rushing through my head.

Why would Tom be going into that bathroom?

He knows it's a girls lavatory correct? But when has that ever stopped him-

Should I ask him when he gets back?

No just leave him be.

But what if he's snogging other girls in there.

No. He's not Violet.

But what if he is.

Or maybe he's in trouble.

He could need my help.

No. Violet.

All of a sudden my thoughts were interrupted by a certain dirty blonde. Walking hand in hand with none other than Abraxas Malfoy himself.

"Shit, sorry- Oh- h-hi guys-" I stutter as I accidently knock into the both of them. I looked up and down at their hands and at their eyes. "About time innit?" I joke.

They just stand there in silence.

"Cass- I have been meaning to talk to you-" I say breaking the awkward silence. "Me too- uh-" She says, looking to Abraxas for reassurance.

Why were they being so weird I mean Brax was practically my brother.

"Could we talk?" I say looking at her in her dark green eyes. "Mhm.." she hums.

"Alright, uh- Abraxas could you give us minute please darling-" I say as I lightly push him away. He groans as he turns around walking back down to the dungeons.

"Vi-"

"No Cass- listen, this- this was my fault I-I should've known you liked Tom."

She grips my hands in hers and smiles at me.

"No Violet, you helped me realize who I truly loved-" She says.

"Blimey Cass, how long have I been telling you he fancies you- Now you listen-" I jokingly say while rolling my eyes.

We walk back to the dungeons together catching up, laughing, like old times. I love Cassie so much I nearly forgot how much I did until we caught up again.

We walk in through the portrait hole, giggling like little girls into the common room and up the spiral stairs into the girls dormitories.

The sight we saw when we walked in made us cringe, "Fuck guys, you couldn't shag in Cygnus's dorm?" Cassie whines as Druella is naked on top of my brother.

We close the door both squeezing our eyes shut, "I did not need to see that much of my brother- I am scarred-" I say as I stick my finger in my mouth gagging.

We walk down back into the commons.

Cassie and I laugh our arses off for a few more seconds before a fourth year named Olivia Tonbridge walks up to us.

"Do you need something?" I quire looking down at the tiny 14 year old.

"Uh- Professor Dumbledore needs y-you to meet him in the Transfiguration c-classroom." She stutters looking up at me.

"What for?" I asking raising an eyebrow, as Cassie is standing still beside me.

"I am not sure he just asked me to inform you- uh" She says as she cowers a little at my gaze.

Stupid fourth years, why were they so scared of me? I dont bite.

"Uh- alright- you can go now." I say waving my hand at the tiny fourth year as she scurries away her light brown hair flowing behind her.

"Weird, wonder what he needs me for-" I say as I turn to Cassie. "Probably bringing you another new student to watch over." She jokes.

"Merlin, I already have my hands full with this one-" I play along jokingly. "Well have fun Vi, see you later-" She says as she pulls me into an embrace before I turn walking out of the portrait hole and down the cold dungeons and into the Transfiguration classroom.

Dumbledore was sitting silently behind his desk, legs crossed under the table and his hand stroking his short greying beard, "Ah- Misses Black I am glad you got my message alright. Take a seat."

I walk toward his desk pulling the chair out and sitting in the hard wooden seat. "Uh- Professor what did you call me in here for- it's the weekend I haven't got any missing assignments have I?"

"No, no nothing like that.." He says as he smiles at me.

"Oh uh alright, why then?"

"Do you remember your task I assigned you and your brother at the beginning of the year?" He queries.

"Uh- yeah It, its going well-" I say as I shift slightly in my seat.

"Good, good- I will need you to report to me if he does anything suspicious through the next few weeks of the year..."

I raise an eyebrow in confusion looking at him, "What do you mean sir-" I ask.

"I am worried about your connection to the boy- so, I have heard you have grown quite close-"

I nod awkwardly and bite my lip out of stress, "uh- yeah I guess you could say that, we- we are friends" I say as I fiddle with my fingers in between my thighs.

"What's wrong I thought you told me to form a bond with him?" I say. "Yes- I did indeed, and I am proud of your progress so far." He says placing his arms in front of him on the desk.

"So uh- what's the problem Professor?" I queried, getting slightly impatient with the man.

"I can't go into detail right at this moment misses Black- just if he acts strange please report to me as soon as possible-" He says as he gets up from his chair heading towards the door.

"Uh- Alright- I-I'll watch him-" I say as I follow him to the door. "Thank you Violet, you are dismissed." He says opening the door motioning for me to leave.

I walk out of his office, and begin walking back down to the dungeons.

What did he mean- if he does anything suspicious?

Why did he set all of this shit up for me, just to not tell me anything at all.
