Chapter 4 Reading

"Good morning Draco" I say, I walk into Draco's room, 12 midday is late enough for him too sleep, even if it is the middle of his holidays, I receive a grown and I rub his hair, "actually its more like good afternoon Draco." He drags himself out of bed. "It's chilly outside so please wear a warm robe and a scarf." Draco looks shocked yes Draco Lucius Malfoy I do care about you. He stairs at my odd clothes, today I wore a thick Green robe, and a blue scarf. I don't always wear black.

"Good morning my lord." Draco says, he says I smile and I help him up and I pass him some green robes, it will be warm enough, I turn and leave.

I walk outside and I appear to the hill, where my death eaters are all waiting.

"My Death eaters, as you has notice Lucius is not here, can you please tell me where he is?" I ask, Snape stood forward.

"My lord, I am sorry to say that Lucius and Narcissa have been found dead, the ministry have the place surrounded, they have came to the conclusion that Narcissa has killed Lucius and than killed herself." Snape said I nod, how stupid they are, they honestly believe Narcissa would leave her son all alone, she thought Draco was dead….

"I see, and what of their son, did Narcissa kill him too?" I say, Snape looks up in actual concern.

"They have not found the child yet, they think he may have ran into a hidden part of the manor, but his school trunk was gone, and another trunk." Snape said, I smile.

"Very well, continue playing a game of stealth, and we will kill the quack of a headmaster, and take over this country and soon all of them." I laugh, and some of my more trusted death eaters do as well. "Be gone," I say and they all leave, only snape remained behind.

"My Lord do you know where Draco is?" Snape asked, he must be very brave… or very stupid. I look at Snape; he could not tell Dumbledore he is not the secret keeper.

"Yes," I say, "Lucius Malfoy beat his son, and now he is dead, and Draco is safer than he has in his fourteen years." I say, I turn to leave than I say, "I will be raising Drac, I mean Draco as my own son, he wont be returning to Hogwarts this year, unless I change my mind which is not likely, he will need a capable Potions teacher, are you interested?" I ask, Sev looks at me in shock it was too much for him to handle.

He was either thinking 'I wonder if he was the one who killed the Malfoys,' or 'WHAT THE HELL.'

"Yes my lord." He replies still in a state of shock. I nod, and I once more show of my apparition skills and go to Draco's large oak door,

"Are you decent?" I ask, I didn't want to scare Draco anymore, I had to ask his permission and if he is ok with for everything, from eating eggs, to going in his room until he felt safe, I didn't hear a reply but I heard an stuttering he was scared.

"MY LORD." It was Draco but he was panicking, I go in, the door was locked so I break it down, Nagini was on the ground, and Draco was on his bed, fully dressed with his broom in one hand and wand in the other (I have put a bind on his wand when he aims it at Nagini ,) waving it around. "Shoo"

"Massssster the little one won't let me see him." Nagini says, in snake words.

"He is just shocked." I say in the words only Nagini can understand. "Draco you know this is Nagini, she wont hurt you, but I believe she is frightened by that broom so please come down." I say, slowly ever so slowly Draco came down I take his broom from him, he is too young for wand less magic. "Nagini can understand English, and she means you no harm, anyway you slept all morning and it is time for Lunch, or in your case brunch." I smile, Draco looks at me surprised, and like Snape he will be probably thinking two things. 'Why is he being so nice to me,' or 'WHAT THE HELL?'

I led Draco and Nagini down to the dinning room, he sat at the other end and I ate, and Draco ate every inch of the food he was given, and Nagini ate her meal, meat cuts.

"Nice snake please don't eat me." Draco says, I laugh,

"Littlllleeee one is very funny's." Nagini says, yes Draco Malfoy is adorable; I will enjoy the day I bring him out of the dark and into my circle, the death eaters will be jealous of course, I have finally after much searching chosen my heir, a boy with pure blood back to year dot.

I may be a half-breed, but my Slythern blood over turns any muggle blood.

Draco's POV

After the very uneasy 'brunch' I was led out into a large library looking area, I could see piles upon piles of books, it makes Hogwarts look like a look like a low class book store, Voldermort my captor raised his wand to me, I back off. He laughed.

"I only want to summon you some books, that I think you will like as you would have noticed, your wand wont work on Nagini, it is only to protect her." he say, he summons a large pile of books that danced off their shelves and landed near an arm chair "If you want you can do some reading, why I am at work, just meetings, very boring really." He stopped, I think he meant it to be a joke, but I found nothing funny about it. I wonder if he planned to kill my father and mother.

"You killed my father," I say lamely, it just slipped out, I didn't mean to say it, would he be mad?

"I admit, I did." He said he never spoke a word, about his 'guilt', "but Draco I did not kill your mother." He had the nerve to deny that he killed my mother, the house elf and the dark lord both said that 'The dark lord killed my father, and my Mother died because of suicide', well she didn't die on her own did she?

"You're a liar and I know you killed my Mother," I say, than I realise I am insulting the man who made me an orphan.

I hate him.

"Draco you are wrong, I want to tell you but first I need you to calm down," he said. I was fuming, he put his arms on my shoulder, "Draco, I understand why you are scared but I will tell you what REALLY happened," he said he tried to relax me by rubbing my shoulders. How dare he, did he think I would simply serve him, because he is rubbing my shoulders.

"No you're a murderer, that's what was your down fall in the first place, what's wrong? Mum sacrificed her self for me, so you killed her and kidnapped me, because you cant kill me?" I yell, Voldermort shook his head.

"I cant talk to you when you are all worked up, like I said before I am not forcing you to stay, but you are staying unless you find someone to take care of you, or you turn seventeen what ever comes first." He hissed something in snake language and that big dirty snake came and slithered up next to the chair, "Nagini will stay with you, you can stay in here, I am scared you will hurt your self, I will tell you what happened when you CALM DOWN." He is sounded like a father now, not mine, mine only cared when he sober than he was sorry, he sounded worried… concerned almost.

"I AM calm." I yell, I am past being in trouble and I am nearly past forgiveness and I know it.

"Draco, I will leave you here for a while, if you are hungry call an elf to get you something to eat and drink, bathroom is over there, you can try to run away but Nagini will stop you, also on that note I am scared you will hurt your self so I will take your wand from you." Voldermort says, he held out a gloved hand… the red eyes stair at me.

Lord Voldermort has lost his snake like looks and has regained his youthful looks, he looked the right age for my father… not how ever old he is.

I didn't want to give him my wand I wanted to keep it. But I was scared, I knew I did wrong and maybe if I just gave him my wand he was just kill me quick.

Unless of course Mother had really, scarified her self to save me.

"Now you are being a good boy, I will tell you what happened. I did Kill your Father for reasons of my own, and your Mother saw his dead body and your Necklace in my hand with blood over it and killed her self." He held up my Malfoy necklace that he gave back to me earlier "I was going to let you and Narcissa live so you can be a family," Voldermort says, I want to cry, but I couldn't I was too scared; all I wanted to do was hit him, and kick him, but I couldn't I was terrified. "Draco, please say anything." He says.

"You're a liar, my Mother would never leave me." I say, I was confident she wouldn't kill her self and leave me all alone.

"Draco, your Mother thought you dead my boy but now I am here to care for you." Voldermort says he kissed my brow, "and I will care for you," I say nothing, he sighed. The dark lord can feel, emotions?

Impossible I must be dreaming.

I felt like I was swimming in a circle. I felt sick; my Mother thought I was dead, she didn't know that I was asleep; this is all my Fathers fault. Or my Grandfathers, he should have never joined the dark lord.

"Ok," I say, he smiles and kisses my cheek.

"I have to go," Voldermort says, "I am keeping the fact I have you as my future Apprentice secret,"

"Future Apprentice," I stutter, did I blink and miss a lot of things.

"Yes, I already said I will train you, but I don't want to tell my Death eaters about you just yet…" Voldermort said. I nod,

"Yes Sire," I say, he kisses my cheek once more. And he left, the great dirty snake stayed with me.

"Please don't eat me," I say, the snake only moved closer to my knee. I sat on the armchair and the snake went on my lap, I patted the girl snake.

I pull a book it was a novel, about a giant who was in love with a Witch, but was too shy to say anything.

Nagini licked my face; I was scared she was not hugging me, but tasting me. I read the book silently, I was happy that the giant big snake did not squeeze me she licked my brow.

I didn't know how long I sat there, I read the entire novel and I rub my hair, I felt a hand on my shoulder,
"So you favour fantasy novels, not that a giant would be able to talk to the witch, Giants mostly speak there own tongues, only some speak English little one," Voldermort stood next to me, I smile but it was not in happiness. "Come my boy, I think you should have a slight break, so my child what do you think of Nagini." He sat next to me. Nagini lay on his knee, I smile I doubt very much that the snake has not the taste of flesh.

"Hasn't she have the taste of flesh," I ask, Voldermort laughs,

"She only does, if she is told too." Voldermort stopped "She would not hurt you."

I only wish I could believe him.
