Hidden Thoughts of a Serpent
Chapter 3
January 3rd
Kylie came back a few hours later, she had a bag. I looked at her, "What's the bag for?"
She smirked, "How would you like it if I moved in?"
"I wouldn't like it." I said, taking her bag from her and throwing it on my couch, "I'd love it." She wrapped her arms around my neck and we collapsed into my armchair, her lips pressing into mine, she slipped her tongue into my mouth, and I slipped mine into hers.
She broke away, "That's never going to get old." She said, not moving from my lap.
"Come on, let's put your stuff in my room." I said, picking up her bag for her.
The two of us walked towards my, now our, bedroom, "But won't your darling Mum get mad?" She asked, smiling as we entered the room.
"Honestly, do I look like I care?"
I set her bag down on my bed, opening it to help her unpack. She pulled me down onto the bed, "We can do that later." She said, smirking.
She pressed her lips into mine and I allowed her to slip her tongue into my mouth, as she allowed me to do the same. I felt my hand wandering her back underneath her shirt. Her skin was so smooth, I wanted to sit there for hours. She began to peel off my shirt, and I continued to kiss her.
As I went to peel off her shirt, we heard voices, instantly stopping. Me, shirtless, and Kylie with half of her buttons undone. "Who is that?" She asked, nervously buttoning her shirt.
"I can't tell from here." I replied, putting my finger to her lips.
We slowly crept out of the bedroom, wands at ready.
"I wonder if he got the Prophet yet." It was Blaise.
I heard no reply.
Then Blaise spoke again, "Of course you wouldn't know, you haven't talked to him since 6th year, too ashamed of him are you?" He spat, "What brings you here now?"
"Is he talking to himself?" Kylie whispered to me.
"I don't think so." I replied, entering my living room with Kylie's hand in my pocket, "Crabbe?"
He looked at me, "Hi Draco." (A/N: I always pictured Crabbe as the smarter one, so he has the ability to speak. P)
"What are you two doing here?" I looked at Crabbe, "And since when are you without Goyle." I said the two words like they were vulgar.
Blaise handed me the prophet.
Another Azkaban Break-Out
First it was Sirius Black, and we thought things were wrong. We knew this was true two years later when a mass break-out occurred. And now Lucius Malfoy has freed himself. He was seen the night before reading what seemed to be a letter from his wife. He was gone the next morning.
None of the signs show forced break out, and none of the guards remember seeing him leave. Quite a few people have their own ideas on what happened. Head Guard, Bradley Ebert, had his own opinion, "Malfoy's not a dumb guy." He commented in an interview the day of the break-out, "He could've easily broken out of the cell, and taken one of our wands to fix the damage and erase our memories."
"Wonderful." I muttered, not wanting to read anymore.
Blaise encouraged me to keep reading, "And then, there's more."
The only thing different about the cell from when Lucius was last seen in it, is that carved in the wall are the words, 'He has betrayed me for the last time.' No one has any idea what these words mean. But enemies of Lucius Malfoy beware, he is armed, dangerous, and obviously looking for someone. Guards are looking for him as you read.
"Let's recap," Kylie retorted, "There's a letter from Narcissa on January 2nd, the day after she finds me and Draco asleep in Draco's childhood room."
"Father breaks out the next day after reading it." I added, "And now, we fear for our lives."
"I'm not in any trouble whatsoever." Blaise retorted, "You're the ones who had a little too much fun in your old bedroom."
"Nothing happened." Kylie spat. "You have such a one-track mind!"
Crabbe looked at Kylie, "Wait, who are you?"
"Kylie Daniels." She quipped, before turning to me, "And what the hell are we going to do now?"
"I honestly don't know." I said, sighing.
"Death Eater Draco doesn't have a plan?" Crabbe asked, a smirk crossing his fat lips.
My eyes narrowed into slits, "Have another cupcake." I snapped.
Crabbe flushed red and apparated away.
"Why the hell was he here Blaise?" I asked, anger flooding my tone.
Blaise shrugged, "I don't know, I didn't even know he knew where you lived."
"Apparently he did, and now we have bigger issues to deal with than lard ass." I said, staring at the fire, "I should really get to the ministry. Be right back." I apparated and I appeared in Rufus Scrimegour's office.
"Mr. Malfoy?" He looked at me, "What are you doing here when your father's on the loose?"
"Sir, I'm the reason he broke out. And I need your help." I said, looking at him.
The Minister raised an eyebrow, "And what would that help consist of?"
"I need my fire disconnected from the floo network, and I need an anti-apparation jinx placed on my home." I said, looking into the Minister's eyes.
"Why should I help you?" He asked me, looking at me. "Give me one good reason."
I swallowed a gulp of air, "Because I can be of great use to you in catching Lucius Malfoy."
"Really now?"
"Who knows him better than his own family?" I asked, answering his question with a question.
"If you swear to assist in capturing your father, then I'll help you." Mr. Scrimegour said, extending his hand, "Deal?"
I shook the Minister's hand, "Deal."
"It'll be done as soon as possible."
"Thank you Minister." I apparated back to a few feet from my house, walking onto my property and into my home.
Blaise and Kylie were inside, "What'd you do?"
"Disconnected myself from the Floo Network," I began, and turned to Blaise, "And made sure that people can't apparate to my home."
"How am I supposed to get here then!" Blaise asked, "You just shot my two transportation methods."
"Go a few feet away. And walk." I retorted.
"But that ruins the point of apparition." He whined.
"Too bad!" I exclaimed, and then turned to Kylie, "Don't worry Honey." I said, wrapping my arms around her reassuringly, "Everything's going to be okay."
I heard a knock on my door minutes later. "Wonder who that is." I walked over to my door and looked through the peephole thingy. I saw my cousin, Cayden. I opened the door a crack, "Is it just you? Or are your darling parents with you?"
"God damn it Draco. Open the door and let me in." She spat. She was 22, and a little on the scary side. So I opened the door and after she walked in, I shut and locked it.
As soon as she was in she smacked me upside the head, "Um, ow?" I looked at her, "What was that for?"
"For pissing off your mom, my mom, your dad, and my dad." She exclaimed, "And leaving me to take all their anger."
"Dad saw you?" I asked, "You didn't tell him where I was did you?"
She looked at me, "Yes oh favorite cousin. I told him exactly where you were." She smacked me again, "You dipshit, of course not!"
"Come on Cay." I muttered, glaring at her, "You've killed enough of my brain cells in my 19 years as is." I sighed as we entered the my living room, "So, what's Aunt Bella's latest plan in the making?"
"Getting you back home." Cayden bluntly retorted, "Along with my dad, and Aunt Cissy, and Uncle Lucius."
"Big surprise there." I muttered, Kylie looked at me, so I introduced Kylie, "Kylie, this is my cousin Cayden. Cayden, this is Kylie."
"Nice to meet you." Kylie said, smiling.
Cayden looked at me, "So she's why Aunt Cissy hates you?"
I smiled, kissing Kylie, "The one and only." She replied for me.
"Look, Draco, I probably shouldn't tell you this right now, but I heard your dad talking, and I heard him say something about Polyjuice Potions." Cayden said, looking at me, "Just a minor warning."
"I'm the definition of screwed right now." I muttered, sinking into the couch.
Kylie smirked, "Draco..."
"What Kylie?"
"Your mom has never gotten here without apparition or floo powder." She said, smirking.
I looked at her, "So they don't know exactly where it was." I looked at Cayden, "You're the only one who knows exactly where I live."
"Great." She said, waving her finger in fake enthusiasm, "Look Drakey, the chances of me getting dosed by Veritaserum are very high." She said, honestly, "And if they do find out, you can't blame me."
"I wouldn't blame you." I said, looking at my cousin as Kylie was in my lap, "Our parents are 4 Death Eaters. They always have a cauldron of Veritaserum going. No matter what."
"And it's no fun when it backfires at all." Cayden cringed, I cringed as well, between the two of us, we'd experienced more Veritaserum-gone-bad than the average Death Eater, and they had lived longer.
And it was all the fault of distrusting parents, the kind of parents that have a deathly obsession with controlling every move that you make.
January 4th
When I woke up, I had my arm around Kylie, I looked under the blanket, and my pants were still on. That was a good sign. In a way.
I slowly got up, trying not to disturb Kylie, and walked into the kitchen. There was an owl on the table, staring at me, with a letter attached to its leg. I didn't recognize the owl at all. I took off the letter and sent the owl on its way. I walked into the living room and saw Cayden sleeping on my couch.
"So she did fall asleep here." The three of us, and Blaise, had gotten pretty drunk. And speaking of which, I wandered around my apartment, looking for Blaise. I hoped he hadn't tried going home. I opened the door to my office, and Blaise was passed out in my desk chair. I shook my head, holding back a laugh.
I went back into the kitchen and sat at one of the many chairs at the table, I tore open the envelope, and I recognized the handwriting immediately.
Draco,
Avoiding me are you? That's not going to work for long son. We, your mother, your aunt, your uncle, and I, all know that Cayden is with you. And the moment she gets back here, we'll know exactly where you are. And you'll be brought back to your senses and married to Pansy in no time.
And about this Daniels girl, who is she? Exactly. I heard the bullshit story you told your mother about meeting her at a café. But I don't believe you. She's probably some 2 knut whore that you picked up off the street. Hence reason you ruined your mother's evening by losing yourself to her in your childhood bedroom.
And I've also heard about your little mishap. I heard that you were barely punished, and that your mother took the blame. Well son, just wait until we meet again. The Dark Lord is beyond disappointment with you, and is straight out angry. And he has gladly given me the permission to punish you as I see fit.
-Lucius
I glared at the paper, crumpling it and wailing it at the wall. Cayden woke up moments later, coming in, "You okay bud?" She sat down next to me.
"Why don't you read your lovely uncle's letter?" I asked, pointing to the ball on the floor.
Cayden did just that, she picked up the letter, uncrumpled it and read it. As soon as she finished she set it on the table, "We saw it coming." She set, sighing.
"It's the disaster of being a Malfoy or a Lestrange." I muttered, as Kylie and Blaise entered the kitchen.
"What's up Drakey?" Kylie asked, sitting on the other side of me.
Blaise looked at me with a raised eyebrow, leaning against the wall.
"The moment Cay goes home, I'm busted."
"Actually," Cayden said, looking at me, "I can just not drink anything they offer me. Seeing as I know what they're plotting."
I shrugged, "Cay, how often does that little plan work?" I asked, we had both tried that multiple times to keep the other out of trouble, for example, when Cayden got expelled from Hogwarts in her 6th year. "They just force it down our throats anyway."
"Where'd you hear this?" Blaise asked, looking at me.
"That piece of paper." I said, pointing to the letter in front of Blaise.
My best friend shook his head, "That's fucked up." He stretched, "And so is my back. Damn Draco, you need to get a better chair."
"There was a couch in there." I said, smirking.
"Shut up."
Lisa entered my apartment, quickly pulling me into a very friendly hug. "Oh my gosh Draco! Are you okay? Has he found you yet?" She let go.
"I'm fine Lisa." I said, "For now anyway."
"What?" She asked, our eyes locking for a brief moment.
"My dad wrote me a rather threatening letter. And the moment my cousin," I pointed to Cayden, "Gets home, they're going to dose her with Veritaserum, resulting in me getting busted, and getting the shit beat out of me for three different things."
Cayden shook her head, "Not sleeping with Pansy, not succeeding in your task, and not sleeping with Kylie even though everyone thinks you did."
I looked at Kylie, "For your own protection Kylie, leave with Blaise and Lisa." I said, looking at the one woman I truly loved, "I'd rather nothing happen to you."
"Draco, I can't leave you when he's coming here."
"You don't know my dad Honey." I said, "He's the Dark Lord's right hand man, he can be quite vicious when he's pissed off."
"You're telling me." Cayden muttered under her breath.
"Kylie, if you love me, you'll go with Blaise and Lisa." I said, holding onto her hand.
Blaise looked at Lisa, and Lisa looked at Blaise. Then everyone turned to Cayden, except me, I was staring at my feet.
Cayden looked at me, "You know, the later I leave, the less pain he can cause."
I laughed, "The later you leave the later he'll cause me all sorts of pain." I muttered.
I turned to Blaise, "Come here." He walked over to me, "What's up Draco?"
I waved my wand at his ear, "Fucking serpents." I muttered as I waved my wand.
"What the hell?" Blaise asked, as I was finished.
"Whenever I say 'fucking serpents'--,"
We were interrupted by an annoying beep from Blaise's ear, "Ow. You force me to lose my hearing?"
"No. It'll beep 10 times, telling you that I'm in trouble and need you to get your buddies at the Magical Law Enforcement Squad." I said, "I promised Scrimegour I'd help. And if getting the shit beat out of me is what I got to do. Then it's what I got to do."
The four of them looked at me, "Draco." Kylie looked at me, "I love you."
"I love you too Kylie..." They left. And I knew within one or two hours my father would be here. Yay me. That was sarcasm. A lot of sarcasm.
I hope you guys liked it.
I'd like to thank my inexistent reviewers. You guys rock!
Chapter 4 will be up tonight or tomorrow!
