Notes/Warning: Originally written for dmhgchallenge Month Nine. The prompt was ‘gamble’.

‘Five Galleons, the Mudblood! What say you, Malfoy?’

‘I don’t gamble.’

Draco left as his allies began placing bets on Potter’s reappearance. Although nobody really knew if he was still alive, the Dark Lord decided to kill Potter’s friends one by one in public, to lure him out. This time it was her turn, and Draco was chosen to do the deed.

***

‘Come to kill me?’ she asked as Draco entered the cell, her eyes peering at him, not losing their usual prideful sparks.

He didn’t answer but suddenly seized her hand and Disapparated. For once, he gambled... with fate.
