Fan Fiction ❯ The Dark Lord's Favorite ❯ She's WHAT?! ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter two: she's WHAT?!

 

Ron looked awestruck at the diary opened before him and Harry, “Harry….Sh-She's a death eater! And she is You-Know-Who's favorite! She's on school grounds too Harry! She-“

“Ron I can read! We just have to….” Harry stopped. He didn't know what to do. Usually he'd tell Dumbledore but Dumbledore was dead. He was at a loss, “let's go talk to Hermione and Hagrid maybe they can help us.”

And with that the boys shot out of their dormitory with diary in hand.

 

 

“Shit!” she continued to dig though her bag her raven black hair falling around her face, “Cho it's gone!”

Cho turned to her friend and tried a comforting smile, “It's alright Artemis you'll find it.”

“No Cho you don't understand! That diary…..” she sighed, “Can I trust you with anything?”

Cho nodded, “Anything and Everything.”

She glanced around then pulled Cho into an empty class room pulling her left arm's sleeve up showing the dark mark, “I'm a death eater and that diary explains it all.”

Cho gasped but didn't say a word. She was going to keep true to her friend and be trusted.

“Lord Voldemort” Cho flinched at the name, “was in the castle last night. And if one of the teachers is to read my diary and find that out….then you won't have me for a friend anymore I'll probably have my soul sucked out by a dementor or be killed.”

Cho looked a little startled, “You-Know-Who was in the castle last night? With you? You met? Artemis…I donno….shouldn't we talk to someone about-“

“We tell no one. I only told you because you're my best friend and the only one I can trust. Please, PLEASE don't tell anyone. Please!” Artemis was literally begging when she felt her pocket shudder, “crap! It's him. HIM. Go over there out of site.”

Cho went into a closet and watched Artemis pull out a small mirror and look into it, “Yes?”

“You've been found out artemis. By potter. Either do your job or die trying.” The voice was of Draco's father.

As Artemis put the mirror away she whipped her forehead, “alright false alarm it was only the stupid malfoy checking in on me.”

Cho came out carefully, “what is your job exactly?”

Another sigh came from Artemis, “my job is to get potter fragile so that Voldemort can get to him.”

Cho seemed to think it over for a few seconds then came to a conclusion, “I'll help you.”

Artemis's eyes widened and she looked at Cho in shock, “You will?!”

Cho nodded, “Just don't brand me or anything.”

Artemis nodded and went back into the hallway seeing Harry immediately, “crap!”

It seemed Harry noticed her too because he stopped dead and reached into his inside pocket for his wand. She pulled out hers too and had it pointed at his chest before anyone could say `hello'. Harry didn't blink but had his wand out too Ron and Hermione behind him.

“Harry leave Artemis alone!” Cho stood behind her friend immediately making Harry's eyes widen in surprise, “Cho? Cho she's a death eater! Artemis is a DEATH EATER!”

“I know that you twit.” Cho was obviously not the best person when it came to name calling, “and she's my best friend. Your friends are complete stooges yet I don't say anything. You back your friends up and I do the same for mine. Evil or not!”

Harry stood dumbfounded for a minute or two then turned heel with Ron and Hermione beside him muttering things like `I can't believe this' and `she has to be under a curse!'.

Cho actually laughed, “Boys are strange.”

Artemis raised an eyebrow yet smiled and shook her head, “If you think about it, I'm stranger.” An idea then hit her, “HEY POTTER!”

Harry turned around, “What do you want?”

“GIVE ME MY GOD DAMNED DIARY BACK!” Artemis yelled and Hermione shot Harry an I-Can't-Believe-You-Did-THAT-Again glare. The diary slid across the ground at Artemis's feet and they left.

 

 

That night Artemis stayed awake knowing her master would be there soon.
