So here's my first attempt at a chapter fic.

This story starts a few days after the Battle of Hogwarts.

Hope you enjoy it.


Chapter 1: The Boy Who Lived

Harry knew he'd been stupid to think the trouble would end with Voldemort's death. Just because a leader dies it doesn't mean all their followers die with them. The Malfoys were still alive but their belief in the cause was gone, they had betrayed Voldemort before his death. This however, was not so for all Death Eaters. And something about that didn't sit right with Harry. He had to see for himself what was happening at Malfoy Manor, it was a feeling he just couldn't shake. One that told him any remaining Death Eaters would return to their former headquarters. Whether for refuge or revenge, he needed to be there.

Harry arrived in time to see four Death Eaters enter the house. By the time he'd snuck up to the door he could hear fighting inside. Unable to resist the sound of battle Harry raced inside. By the time he found the room where the sounds were coming from bodies already lay on the floor. Narcissa Malfoy was face down, her head on an angle that meant she could only be dead. Blood pooled around both her, and a Death Eater with glassy, staring eyes that had fallen close to her. Lucius was on his knees, wand in one hand while his other hand tried to stop his belly from spilling onto the cold, stone floor. Blood was starting to drip from his hand and pink, squishy intestines were escaping between his fingers.

"Avada Kedavra" he spat through a mouthful of blood and green light shot at the Death Eaters chest knocking him back; dead and Lucius slumped to the ground. Only seconds had passed since Harry had entered the room. He ducked as a hex flew at him. Malfoy and another Death Eater were duelling on the other side of the room. The hex that had nearly hit Harry seemed to be a misplaced one. Malfoy threw another one which struck the Death Eater in the shoulder. The Death Eater retaliated, the curse hitting Malfoy in the lower arm, scalding his flesh and causing him to drop his wand. Malfoy dodged another hex. Harry pointed his wand at Malfoy's attacker and fired a spell which hit the Death Eater too late to stop the spell he had throw at Malfoy but in time to throw his aim off just enough. The spell hit Malfoy's leg and Harry heard the bone shatter from across the room. The Death Eater spun around to face Harry and raised his wand. Harry was quicker than the injured Death Eater, "Crucio" he bellowed. The Death Eaters expression changed from hatred to agony while Harry held his wand firm. The Death Eater screamed and kept screaming.

"Finish it Potter!" he heard Malfoy shout at him. "Kill him".

Harry had come here to do just that but he now found it impossible to utter those words.

"Avada Kedavra," the green light Harry had seen too many times already shot from Malfoy's wand, hitting the Death Eater and plunging the room into silence, except for the ragged breathing of Malfoy. Looking around the room Harry could only count five bodies; the Malfoys and three Death Eaters, the fourth Death Eater was gone. Harry went to the boy who was on the ground trying not to pass out from pain and blood loss. He knelt down next to Malfoy so he could examine the wound on his leg. White chucks of bone glistened at him through the blood and torn muscle, just above Malfoy's knee.

"You know…" said Harry as he summoned a dead Death Eaters cloak to him. He ripped it into strips and tied it tightly above the wound to stop the bleeding and Malfoy winced each time Harry pulled the cloth tighter.

"Know what Potter?" Malfoy asked through gritted teeth, attempting to distract himself from the pain.

"That this is the third time I've saved your miserable…" Harry pulled the cloth a final time, hoping it would hurt "…life this week. Maybe I should take you with me to save myself the trouble of rescuing you again later on."


AN: Ok so I know that was harsh and I just want everyone to know I don't have anything against the Malfoys. I only torture them because I love them.

Anyway hope you liked it and please review if you want to know what happens…..
