And......nope.
Merlins effing beard. WTF? What the flobberworm, Voldemort? Why would you make me do this? Of course, i forgot.
Your stupid.
"Well, who's first?" I asked, my wand drawn, and at the ready.
Let me explain; i have to duel several Death Eaters. Tom thought it would be a wise idea to keep me here for a month, then drag me out and make me duel. He wanted to see how powerful of a witch i was or whatever. I have to duel three, i think is what he said, and whoever prevails.....something about a high honor or some stuff like that. So, your filled in, here i am. Now. Waiting. Voldemort paced around the room in a slow manner, in the big open area in Malfoy Manor. Wow. Anyways, everybody looked anxious, except me.
"How about you, Amycus?" Voldemort spoke. I had to keep myself from scoffing as he whipped out his wand and stood across from me, a malicious smirk on his face.
He bowed, i followed suit. Blah blah, usual dueling things. Then he raised his wand, and i did so, my hand behind my hand and my other arm outstretched.
He fired several shots, i blocked, laughing a bit. Pathetic.
Reducto! Stupeify! Expelliarmus!
Amycus flew off his feet, landed with a thud, and his wand flew into my hand.
"Next?"
This time two or three people backed away from me, their hands up in a 'i surrender' fasion. Am i really that scary?
"Excellent, excellent......is anybody as.....eager, to duel her?" Tom laughed.
Out of my preferial vision, i saw Bellatrix bounce on her feet a bit, but Tom walked right past her. Good, i'll leave her for Mrs. weasley.
"Where is Fenrir?" Tom asked
"Dead." I spoke "died at Hogwarts a couple months ago."
"How...unfortunate. How about you then, Scabior?"
"Me? Oooohhh." Scabior- the snatcher- rubbed his hands together as he walked forward, his back to me.
He turned on the spot and did a fancy bow, his boots clanking, as he drew his wand from his sleeve. I bowed, and aimed. You never know when they'll attack or trick you....speaking of. Ooohh. He tried to stun me.
And......nope.
I stumbled a bit but came back up, my wand ready, slashing the air, whipping around.
Deprimo!
A blast of wind from my wand tip sent Scabior flying back a few feet, and onto his back beside Lucius Malfoy.
"Amazing...." Scabior grunted "ow. That'll leave a bit of a mark."
"Simply asthonishing." Voldemort said, walking up beside me, petting Nagini. Eh. Creepy snake. "I have one more person for you to duel in mind.....as deadly as possible, if i will."
He paused and walked infront of me a few feet, taking his sweet time. Why so secretive, Tom?
"This should be very amusing for us." Voldemort said, turning to face me again.
Am i gonna' duel him? Well......time to die.
"Young Draco, come."
Nope. That's even worse than death.
Voldemort beckoned his hand in Draco's direction, and i slowly turned my head. He can not, i repeat not, be making me do this. He must know i wont fight Draco, right? Right?
"Two little lovers against eachother........how....sad." Voldemort laughed and made a few rounds around the circle of Death Eaters. "Who will prevail? I leave you-" he gestured to the two of us "to decide. Begin."
I turned my attention to Draco, and he looked back. Both our wands were still at our sides, unmoving. Slowly, i bowed, he followed. Do i really have to go through with this?
I looked Draco in the eye. The room was tense, everyone awaiting the first spell to be shot. Does he want one of us to kill the other? I couldn't do that. Slowly, i raised my wand, and disarmed him, letting his wand land with a clatter as well.
I considered my options;
Kill, or be killed.
"No." I whispered "i can't do it. I can't."
Slowly, i unclenched my right fist, and my wand slipped slowly out of it. Inch by inch, until it completly fell out of my hand, and landed with a clatter of wood on wood. Of course, the whole thing happened in slow motion, or so it seemed. A cackle rang out in the room, but died out really quickly. I looked up from where i was string at the dusty floor, and heard a clank. Draco, had done as i did, and his wand rolled on the floor infront of him, he had picked it up again from when i disarmed him.
Neither of us would be dueling the other.
"What's this?" Voldemort asked, stepping out from the crowd.
"Let me take care of her, please...?" Bellatrix begged him.
She's so weird.
"No!" He snapped at her. She cowered back into the crowd.
"Neither of you choose to fight the other?" Voldemort spoke slowly, malice im his voice "why is that?"
He looked from me, to Draco, and back.
"Why do you refuse?"
I picked up my wand, and pocketed it. Then, I stood up straighter, and walked forward, so i was eye to eye to him, and looked him in the eyes.
"Because we know something you don't, and never will. It's the same thing that prevented you from killing Harry that night." I paused "love."
Gasps echoed around the room, and a few murmurs were placed here and there. Yeah, soak it up people.
"How dare you speak of that!" Voldemort screeched
"Oh, i dare Tom." I smirked at him "because i'm not a coward! I neednt do as you do!"
"Do as i do? Do as i do?" He repeated slowly, menacingly "how so?"
"You've had to hide your soul in fear of being killed. You, above all people, are afraid of dying. And so, you choose to cower down at the mention of it!"
"Would you like to die, young Rose?"
"I'm not afraid of death, like you are. I am no coward, Tom."
"We shall see, Rose Potter."
He drew his wand. He was going to kill me. Today, i would die. I turned to Draco.
'I love you.' I mouthed as i closed my eyes.
A yell of 'NO!', a flash of light, and i was sent spiraling onto the dusty wooden floor.
I wasn't dead. Your face, Voldemort.
"No....no....Rose....no...come back..."
Something wet hit my face, but i didn't dare move. I knew if i did, my plan would be ruined.
Voldemort laughed "How touching.....young Draco, i think i may cry. Rose Potter is dead!"
"Rose....im so sorry....."
"Draco.....take my hand..." I whispered. Nobody could've heard me whisper but Draco, it was barely audible.
"Rose...."
"Imagine the pain Harry Potter will go through! Tonight, we celebrate! See how i have prevailed in killing another person, who's blood is not pure? Who is not as equal as us? A young girl, who's incolence has bessetched her?"
"I am not incolent!" I yelled.
With one swift movement, i whipped out the fang from my pocket, twisted on the spot, and stabbed Nagini between the eyes.
"What?!"
Nagini disolved into thin air with one last hiss, and ashes floated everywhere.
"Do you want to come with me?" I asked Draco quickly
"What?"
"Do you want to come with me?"
"Yes."
"Grab my hand! Quickly!"
Godrick's Hollow, i thought hard as Draco grasped my hand, Godrick's hollow, Godrick's Hollow.
Another scream, and a pull in my stomach. I had succesfully apperated myself, and Draco, from Malfoy Manor. It felt like hours as my surroundings twisted and contorted themselves before me. Never ending enviornment flashed infront of my eyes before a thud, and my vision filled with snow and darkness.
"Draco! Are you okay?"
"Help...."
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry! Here, this'll sting a bit..."
Draco's arm had been sliced from his shoulder, down to his fingertips, and was bleeding heavily.
"This'll hurt. I'm so sorry! Vulnera Senentor. Terego. Reparifors."
I muttered a series of healing spells in which i had picked up over time, my hands becoming quite bloody as i held Draco's arm down. I had never seen so much blood before. The skin on his arm seemed to glaze over the flesh that had been lost, and fit itself over bone. A portion of his blood went back, and he stopped moving.
"Better?"
"Loads. Where are we?"
"Don't move." I pushed him back down on the ground "we're in Godrick's Hollow."
"What happened back there? To the snake? Not that i'm not glad she's gone, but...."
"I killed her. With this." I held up the fang of the Basilisk.
My plan, had worked. I had always been prepared for something like this to happen, therfore i snuck a fang a long time ago, and my bag was filled with clothes, some money, first aid kit, stuff like that. Yes, i had a bag as well, i shrunk it so it could fit in my pocket.
"I'm sorry you got hurt...." I apoligized to Draco.
"Nothing too big. Will my mum and dad be okay?"
"We'll see them again in less than a week, and yes, they live safe and sound until Voldemort dies."
"How did you know all of this?"
"Don't move." I pushed him down again. "And thats something i'll have to explain in time."
"Now would be that time, Rose. I saw ypu get killed back there! You saved that Diggory boy! You knew so many things! And Vol-"
"Don't say the name. It's tabooed."
"He-who-must-not-be-named said you knew more than you should! What is going on?" Draco demanded
"I'll tell you later. We need to find a place to hide before we freeze."
I didn't know of anywhere in Godrick's Hollow that we could stay.....maybe i could summon something.....i am of age. I turned eighteen a month ago.
"Accio tent."
"What are you doing?"
"Shh."
A low whistle was growing nearer and nearer, until something struck my head, propelling me forward.
"Oof!"
I had landed face forward on the ground, my body spread over Draco's.
"Sorry..." I grunted as i sat up. "Stupid tent...i can't believe that worked! Ha! Your face people!"
"Can i move now?"
"Of course. How is your arm?"
He glanced down at it and hastily retreated.
"That's just gross." He spoke "it hurts a bit."
"Try not to move it, and i'll have a better look at it in a few mineuts. Follow me...."
I turned down the street we were on and walked a few seconds, before the building came into veiw.
"Can you see it too?" Draco asked
"Yeah....."
As the small sign appeared infront of Harry's old house, i brought up my wand and engraved a message on it.
"What are you doing?"
"You'll see.....come on."
I led the way down a deserted street and into the heavily wooded area behind it. Surely nobody would find us here for some time. I felt like Harry and them, seeking refuge in the woods.... With a wave of my wand, the tent assembled itself.
"Woah."
"It should be quite roomy....let's see." I said. It was like the tents they used in the Tri-Wizard tournament, bewitched so it was larger than it seemed.
"Sit here and hold your arm towards the light a bit. I want to make sure it'll be okay..."
"Rose," Draco said. I flinched at his tone; demanding, harsh.
"Yeah? Hold still." I said. I tried not to let my fear show infront of him.
"Are you going to keep secrets again?" He asked, his tone the same.
"No." I whispered. I tried to focus on his arm, wich was looking better. He only had a few scratches left now, and dried blood. "Terego..." The blood dissapeared.
"Then tell me."
"Muffliato." I pointed at the enterance of the tent, so nobody could hear us.
"Why are you avoiding it!
"I'm not avoiding it! I don't want you hurt, Draco! That's why i havent told you! Tom knows i know everything! I don't want me telling you, then he find out you know as well! I can't loose somebody else, Draco."
"What is it then? Why are you so afraid of telling me? You don't trust me?"
"It's not that-"
"It seems like it."
"It's not! You really want to know? Take out your wand! Use legillemens on me! Now. Do it."
His face was a question mark, but he did as i said, and i felt myself collapse on the floor.
I was standing above the scene, Draco beside me, as we looked down. There i was, sitting on my bed, looking at all the books of the Harry Potter series. This was the day my parents died....and i found out i was a witch.
"Ohh! I can't believe i finaly finished the Harry Potter series again! I wish i was a witch......" I spoke. It felt weird, looking and seeing myself siting there, fangirling.
Bang!
Tonks, Lupin and Mad-Eye appeared in my bedroom.
Fast forward-
"This can't be happening!" My past self said
"Aye. It's happening."
Fast forward. The scene changed to when i told Harry i knew all this in the fourth year.
"That's- but....what?" Harry asked
"I know. This.....is bigger than all of us."
"Can i read them?"
"No."
The scene changed once more, this time, i was talking to Dumbledore.
"Have you planned out this year, Rose?"
"I'll do it tonight."
"Another matter. On behalf, of Draco Malfoy. Could you-" he flipped his hands back and forth
"Change his mind? Like....his perspective?"
"His mind could be changed and it wouldn't fracture anything."
"I understand, Sir. Goodnight."
The scene dissolved again, this time when i was talking to mom and dad a few years ago, when i was about nine.
"Rose! That's not funny, you scared me!" My mom said
"Crucio!" I giggled "i can't believe Harry kills Voldemort! Mom, these books are wonderful!"
"You know those characters aren't real, right Rose?" My dad asked me "those people.....who were they....last name starts with an M?"
"The Malfoy's!" I giggled "my favorite character, Draco, daddy! And Mr. Lupin!"
My mom and dad shared the longing look i had been so confused by, but now i know what it meant.
The family faded once more, and i was brought back to reality. I was sitting on the floor of the tent in the present, panting slightly. My vision was a bit blurred, but it slowly came back to me. Occulumens felt terrible, i wouldn't wish it on many people.
"Favorite, huh?" Draco chuckled
"Hush! I didn't know this world existed! And now you know how i knew all that! In my world, there were a series of books that explained all of your lives! That's how i knew everything!"
"Well......wow."
"Same reaction as everyone else." I said, rolling my eyes. "Now you understand?"
"Yeah."
Silence settled upon us, and you could hear the crickets chirping outside. It was close to ten at night, by the moon's posisition. After everything that happened today, it's been really long and tiring. Nerve-wracking too.
"You should get some sleep. You have to be tired." I said to Draco.
"A bit. Why don't you join me?"
"What?"
"Well, there's a bed. You need sleep too, join me."
"Alright." I glanced at his arm again, wich was completly fine. It looked as it usually did.
"It feels fine, if that's what your wondering. It doesn't hurt that bad..."
"Still.....i am sorry i splinched you....i-"
In a split second, he had crossed the room and slammed his lips on mine. This kiss was different than the others. Hungry and demanding. We had been holding it in for so long.... His arms wrapped around my waist bringing me closer, and i tangled mine in his blond hair. His tounge glided across my bottom lip, and i spread my lips letting his tounge mingle with mine. Breaking away for air, he moved his lips to my neck, where he sucked and nibbled on the skin. I tilted my head back a bit and moaned as he sucked beneath my jaw line.
"I've missed you....i hated seeing you locked down there..." Draco said.
"I missed you too. We're here, together now, don't worry."
"I love you."
"I love you too. Goodnight, Draco."
We climbed into bed and his arms wraooed around my waist, scootching me closer, his head on mine.
Well, now, he knew my secret. There wasn't anything he didn't know about me now.
Except one thing.
One, very, important thing.
