Chapter 3:
Darkness was everywhere, no matter how far I ran or fast I ran I couldn't get away. I twisted around to see if there was anything that could help me escape but alas nothing was there. "Help! Is anyone there?" I yelled as I spun around again. Suddenly a blast of life washed over me like a wave, holding my hand over my eyes as the light blinded me, the sound of laughter rang out. Slowly squinting in the light I saw figures dancing around; little figures about the size of…children. Slowly I pulled my hand away from my eyes and stood up straight, there they were. Two small children, dancing and playing around with one another, slowly I walked closer to them quietly as I could. One was a boy with shaggy Brown hair and dark almost black eyes and slightly tanned skin; he could be older than eight years old. The other one was a little girl with long dirty blonde hair and bright blue green eyes and fair skin; she couldn't have been older than four. They looked so happy as they played there, I looked around to see if anyone else was around but no one was there.
Suddenly a long snap rang out threw the air, the children froze and looked in my direction and fear welled up in me as I thought they were gonna run away. But they looked at me and smiled and can over to me, "Mommy!" they cried as they hugged my legs. I looked down at them stunned as they looked up at me with big smiles; a small smile crawled over my face as I placed my hands on the back of their heads and kneeled down in front of them. "Hi little ones." I said quietly as I petted their heads gently, "Mommy where have you been?" asked the little girl as she looked at me with pouty eyes. I didn't know why she was calling me mommy but I didn't have the heart to tell her otherwise, "I've been away." I said gently. "When will you come back to us mommy?" the boy asked. I looked at him and gently pushed his hair out of his eyes, "I don't know but I'll do my best to come back as soon as I can, ok?" I told him gently as they both looked at me with big eyes and jumped in to hug me. "Please don't leave us again mommy! We'll be better, we promise!" they both cried as the clutched me desperately. I hugged them to me as close as I could, "You two listen ok? You two are amazing kids and you don't need to be any better and I want to stay as long as I can but I have to go." I whispered to them as I kissed their heads as I held them close to me as everything went bright.
Gasping I sprung up in my bed, looking around quickly I noticed I was back in the dungeon at Hogwarts. Sighing I moved to sit on the edge of the bed and let my head hang down, 'what was that dream? Were those mine? Were those my children?' I wondered, 'they were so beautiful; I would love for them to be mine.' I thought with a small smile as I remembered them and their smiles. Sighing (I've been doing that a lot lately) I got up and grabbed my clothes from the end of the bed and headed to the bathroom, and luckily for me, everyone else was still asleep.
After freshening up and getting dressed I headed down to the common room which was empty except for Pansy, which to no surprise was drawling again. "Hey Pans, what are you drawling today?" I asked as I flopped down beside her. She was quiet for a while, seeming to ignore me as the only movement she made was the sketch of her pencil. Looking at her with my stone mask, I seemed not to care but to be impatiently waiting for an answer but on the inside I was nervous. Was she mad at me? Did she finally get tired of pretending that she was my friend? What was going on inside her head? Were some of the thousands of questions running through my mind, "Draco, I have a very serious question for you and I want to know the truthful answer it?" She stated as she continued to draw, I swallow my heart that had suddenly leaped into my throat before I nodded. "The question is…do you hate me and Blaise?" she asked painfully as she put down her pencil and just stared at the pencil, "I mean we've been friends forever and you just seem to be tired of us in every possible way and we love you Dray. I know we're supposed to be heartless, evil, vile people but that's not how me and Blaise are. We share everything with you and you…you're a locked box. So I need to know now because I will not be a pawn, not for you, not for my parents and not for you-know-who." She stated truthfully as she turned to look at me with such fire in her eyes, such passion that I could be burn by the intensity. "Pansy, I want us to be friends. To be close that nothing could break us apart but you see…"I began to say but fear stopped me. I wanted to tell her, oh god I did. Ever since I found out about this hell that I would be thrown into, I've wanted to tell an outsider but what if she takes back that entire thing she just said? What if she's disgusted?
I got so lost in my worries, I failed to notice her putting her stuff down and wrapping her arms around me and pulling me into a close embrace, as siblings would do for another. "I already Dray, I heard my parents talking about it. That's how I found out you are a bearer and I'm not disgusted by you, but I am disgusted by what they're doing to you. I have no desire to follow that man and I will not let this happen to you without a fight, with you wanting me to or not. Even if you reject me Dray, I still see you as a brother. I know I made passes at you but I realized least year that I loved you in a different way, not as a lover but as a brother. Please Dray let us help you, I can't speak for Blaise but I will do everything I can to help you. I know you're not made of the stone you pretend to be made out of, please Dray be yourself with us and trust us." She whispered in my ear with such strength and courage and love as she held me close. Never had anyone ever said anything like that to me, "That goes for me as well Dray." Came a deep voice, we turned to see Blaise standing a few feet away from us. He slowly walked over and sat behind me on the couch and wrapped his arms around the both of us. "You two are my family as well, and like Pansy, I have no desire to join that crazy ass power hungry nut job. And I will not let him hurt you Dray. You're my little bro and well get you out of this somehow." He pledged as he pulled us both to him and I couldn't stop myself, I cried. For the first time since my return home from first year, I cried and clutched on to the both of them. I couldn't believe it; I wasn't alone as I thought I was. I have two people who see me as family and I didn't even know it but I couldn't put them in danger.
'To mess with the Dark Lord is dangerous and I can't let them get themselves hurt or worse killed' I thought as a shiver of fear ran up my spine as I thought of all the stories I heard of his torturing to his followers. 'I have to protect them.' I thought as a bit of courage ran threw me, 'yes I will protect them.' I thought of not only Pansy but the two children from my dream.
It took us a little while to get sorted about but luckily we got it done before anyone else came down. We put our mask back into place and hid ourselves in the far corner of our minds as we sat comfortable on the couch as the other members of Slytherin came down and joined us as we waited for our House head. Silence surrounded us all as we waited, we all had secrets and we didn't trust anyone else in our house with them or maybe it was fear. We've been shown by almost all of our parents that they cannot be trust so why should the kids we go to school with be trusted either. Soon the door opened and in swept the one and only Professor Severus Snape. "Ok students as you know this is the beginning of a new year and I will not put up with stupidity that I know you're all capable of doing. You are a house; you will take care of each other even though you don't trust each other. I'm not asking you to be best buddies and go skipping threw the halls; I just want you to help out your fellow members when they are in need. That said also stay out of trouble! If you're going to something stupid like play a prank or get into a fight, I expect you to be smart enough not get caught or get yourself out of it or take the punishment without any whining. I do so hate whiners." He sighed annoyed as he dropped a stack of paper on the table and waved his wand with the other, sending each of us a piece. "These are your classes for the week and I suggest if you don't know where they are, I'd ask for help or you can be stupid and walk around and be late for class and lose them house points which I'm sure will not get you in good graces with your fellow house mates. Now I suggest you move it or you'll be waiting till lunch to fill your stomachs." He demised us as he swept from the room as he entered and all of us filed out as well to get a bit of grub before class.
We all walked in silence to the Great hall and Pansy, Blaise and I lagged behind the others but tell the truth we should have been closer cause as we turned a corner we came face to face with the golden trio. "Well well if it isn't the ferret face, porky the pig and everyone's favorite man whore."Sneered Weasley as he crossed his arms as he stood as tall as could which toward over both me and Pansy but he was about even with Blaise. "Um excuse me Weasel King, I don't know what mammoth ass dick you got shoved up your ass but unless you want me to fix you a world of pain you'd leave me and my friends here alone before I really lose my temper." Growled Blaise as he stood face to face with Weasley and didn't back down. I looked at the two of them and it seemed a fight was gonna happen no matter the what and the other two of the Golden trio looked confused at Weasley's actions and an amazing thing happened, he looked at me.
