Disclamer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters in the book

Chapter 1

He woke up in his bed scared....he thought he had herd his mother scream....other scream...."Mother!" he said in a whisper, rushed out of the bed and downstairs.

"Lucius, please leave Draco alone, let him be happy, I beg you!" Narcissa said desperatly at his feet.

"Shut up bitch!" he said as she kicked her, sending him far through the floor "he's going to be happy serving the Dark Lord, now for you...I don't think you'll be useful from now on so...." He pointed his wand at her, Draco's heart started beating faster, "Stop it!" he shouted, Lucius looked at him and the Malfoy's usual grim appeared on his face.

"Very good Draco, I'm glad you'll cooperate, come here" Draco hesitated "Come on Draco, you don't want to see your Mother get hurt now, do you?" Draco had to put away his fears and walked to where his father was. "Crabbe" said Lucius "Grab the boy". Crabbe went near Draco and grabbed him by the shoulders, Draco din't fight, he thought it would be better that way.

"My dear Narcissa, you were a good wife, and for that I'll make it quick and painless" Draco wasn't able to think when..."Avada Kedavra" a green light went from the wand to his Mother's body, when it touched her she inmediatly feel to the floor and laid there motionless.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Draco screamed.

"Draco! Draco! Calm down! It's OK it was juts a nightmare" said Tonks hugging the boy, he was sweating and his faced was full of fear, pain and anger. He rested his head on his hands, and then got up of the bed and lokked himself in the mirror, he had changed his eyes where darker and full of pain, his face whiter and he looked older, his hair had grown....he looked like his father....he couldn't stand it....it seemed like Tonks knew what he was thinking cause she said "What do you think if we cut you're hair tomorrow? Something that can say 'I'm Draco Malfoy, just me, nobody else'"

Draco looked at her and nodded, she liked her more everyday, she treated him like her brother, she took care of him, but not out of pity, but out of love, tender love of a sister. Tonks had told Draco some time ago that her mother had kept in contact with her and Andromeda, and that she had asked if they could take care of Draco, if anything happened to her. Tonks took the job, and there he was.

The girl got up of the bed and went to hug him "Go to sleep now Draco. I promise everything will be better from now on". Draco smiled and said "Thank you". "For what are you thanking me" she said looking at him "the only one you have to thank is God for letting us find you in time." Then she kissed him in the forehead and went out of the room. Draco remembered what happened that night after his father had killed Mother. He was still trapped in Crabbe's arms he tried to free himself but couldn't, his father was laughing, "Let him go" he said with a laugh "This will be the last time he cries, Death Eater's don't cry" he was freed and he runned to where his mother's body was lying, he lifted her up and hugged her, and that's when he heard an explosion caused by and Auror's spell that hitted the door.

"Aurors!" said his father "Let's get out of here!" then he looked at him "We'll meet each other again, Draco" and they where gone. Then the Aurors came and took care of him, and now he was living with Tonks, in her little and home-like house.

He got himself into the bed again and tried not to think on his mother, but he couldn't, he fell asleep.

He woke up in his bed scared....he thought he had herd his mother scream....other scream...."Mother!" he said in a whisper, rushed out of the bed and downstairs.

"Lucius, please leave Draco alone, let him be happy, I beg you!" Narcissa said desperatly at his feet.

"Shut up bitch!" he said as she kicked her, sending him far through the floor "he's going to be happy serving the Dark Lord, now for you...I don't think you'll be useful from now on so...." He pointed his wand at her, Draco's heart started beating faster...."Calm down!, I'm here now" he looked at the hand that was on his shoulder, and then her face, her beautiful brown-greenish eyes her long hair, her white dress, he turned around and hugged her. "I was starting to miss you!".

When Draco woke up with a smile in his face because she had dreamt about her again, he remember the first time that this had happened. It had been like two weeks after his father was sent to Askaban. He and his mother discovered that Lucius had had them under the Imperius Curse from long ago. This meant that his true self was starting to act freely, and have it's own dreams and opinions, he really didn't know what to do with all this, and he felt that he had to be strong for his mother, because she was very weak, and so he kept everything inside. As a natural reaction of his brain every night he had nightmares, until she appeared.

He was in one of his nightmares and then he woke up, but he wasn't on his bed, he was in a dark cold room, so dark that he couldn't see what was 2 inches away but he could see his whole body. He was sitting on the floor, with his arms around his knees, and then he heard a voice. "It's a woman" he thought, and he saw her; she was in a white dress, so white that she looked like an angel, and had long brown hair; her skin was as white as her dress, and when she laid her beautiful brown-greenish eyes upon him he felt something warm filling him from inside to outside. Then she smiled. "Hi" she said "I guess you're new". He didn't know what she meant by this but he didn't dare to ask. Since then he dreamed about her three or four times a week, they started a beautiful friendship through the dreams. She was often singing he could hear the songs in her mind, this had made Draco listen to music, muggle and wizard music, and he had started playing guitar, he was pretty good, with this he scaped from his problems. When his mother was murdered he dreamed about her more often, almost every night, she prevented his nightmares.

He had figured out a theory that explained her appearance in his dreams; she was his conscience that was helping him to figure out who he was and fight his ghosts.

After thinking about all this stuff he got out of the bed and went to take a shower. Downstairs Tonks listened to him; she was impressed of how he had changed. From a spoiled child, with an ego the size of the Everest and worse manners than those of a dog he had became a mature, calmed young man, and it was pleasant to be with him.

"Good Morning Draco!" she said when she heard him running through the stairs, "Hi" he said with a smile on his face when he reached the kitchen.

"Are you ready for cutting your hair", he nodded. And she took out the sissors casted a spell and let it do the work, directing it with her mind. When Draco lokked again in the mirror he was surprised of how the hair could change a person. His hair was a bit shorter, untidier and spiky. "Thanks" he said, she smiled, he was directing himself upstairs when Tonks said "Draco I promise you that we will catch your father again, and this time he won't be able to scape, cause she won't have Belatrix to help him, we'll catch her too" Draco just nodded and went upstairs.

Tonks sighted "I hope we can do it quickly"

"Why do you appear in my dreams?" Draco asked touching her face.She smiled and....

Suddenly he heard a scream...He run into the kitchen to find Tonks on the floor screaming in pain and the responsible was Belatrix Lestrange. Next to her stood his father laughing.

"Stop!" Draco screamed.

"Draco, what a nice surprise, come with us, we came for you, we're going away from this country for a while".

"I won't go with you" Draco responded.

"You won't?...are you sure? Imperius!"

The curse had been used on him so many times that the effect was immediate. He heard a voice inside him, but it sounded like his father's. "Draco, get up! get up an grab your wand! Very well Draco! Now let's go out, to the muggle London!" He had a vague idea of what he was doing. "Kill Draco, Kill!" He didn't see anything, but he heard his own voice say "Avada Kedavra!"

What? Was he killing somebody?...Laughter..."They are laughing" he thought...."Now we've got to go for Dumbledore's niece"

...That was the last thing he heard....

He felt his body falling through darkness, quicker and quicker every second. He opened his eyes to find himself in a bed, not his bed; he looked around...Was he in a hospital? The nurse opening the door responded his question "Mr. Malfoy, what a pleasure to see you awake, just in time to receive your visitors. I'll tell them that they can come in". He had no time to respond, she was gone already. He waited for a minute or two, then the door opened again, and the headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore entered the room, followed by his ex-teacher of Defense Against The Dark Arts Remus Lupin and the eccentric Mad-Eye Moody.

"Mr. Malfoy" said Dumbledore. He was talking excessively serious. "We have some news for you". Draco nodded and the old man proceeded. "You've been unconscious for a day; the shock your brain received because of being victim, once more, of the Imperius curse was too big. I must also inform you about what you did in that state, but I must remind you that you couldn't, by any chance, have control upon your acts. Mr.Malfoy", as he said this his face became more serious , "you attacked your aunt Nymphadora Tonks and injured her badly and" he paused "...and....you killed a muggle with one of the unforgivable curses..."

"Avada Kedavra...", Draco whispered. No one could see a single expression on his face, nothing on his outside could tell the world how he was feeling, and how could it, when even himself didn't know.

"Yes Mr. Malfoy" responded Dumbledore, Moody interrupted "But you've got nothing to worry about, kid. The law stipulates that if a person that's under the Imperius curse kills or injures or steals he can't be punished because he isn't aware of his acts"

"Oh! what a relief" thought Draco. "I've killed someone innocent and injured badly the one person that has accepted me as I am and received me as her own son, but I should not worry because I ain't going to be punished?" Even as he thought this he just responded by nodding; the people on his room kept talking, but he wasn't listening..."How's Tonks?" he asked

Lupin was the one who answered now. "Nymphadora is fine, she's just feeling pain from the recently cured broken bones and has a headache, but she has been conscious for a few hours...Well...I think we should go..." They kept talking but for Draco the words were just sounds out of shape. He then suddenly noticed that they had left...he tried to sleep, maybe his conscience would help him.
