Chapter Six
Unforgivable
Draco Malfoy walked down the stairs, a rat Animagus in his palm. He pounded on the Twin's room, Luna stuck her head out.
"Yes Draco?" she asked smiling in that irritatingly dreamy way. Draco couldn't hold back his sneer.
"Gather everyone we need to have a meeting in the kitchen, now." He jerked his head in the direction of the stairs just for good measure. She nodded, eyes wide and innocent looking. It's a wonder the girl wasn't sorted into Hufflepuff. Briskly now he started downstairs again, an angry Weasley stopped him at the last step. For a moment he let their height difference, so obvious with him a step above, be known. His smirked turned to that of a smug grin when he noticed Weasley's ears turn red. Too bad he had never notice that little tidbit when they were at Hogwarts.
"We have a meeting in the kitchen, pronto." His voice was commanding and even he could admit it a bit domineering. One of the perks of being born into the Malfoy line, he supposed. Ron said nothing only nodded his head, a bit stiffly. Draco watched him go, for a moment something nagged at his conscience, pushing him to do something but he didn't know what. He ignored it and continued towards the kitchen.
He found Blaise all ready there, cutting an apple into thick wedges. Draco was for a moment rendered speechless, he never thought he would see Blaise doing house work, not without a wand in hand. He shook himself mentally and placed the petrified rat on counter. Blasie stiffened with disgust.
"Do you have to put that there?" he shook his head.
"I do. We have a meeting in a few minutes, about that." He gestured vaguely at the rat.
"Well its unsanitary." Blaise sniffed. Draco shook his head.
"How did I ever miss that you were a ponce?" Outraged eyes turned to his, he smiled in response, letting his friend know that he meant no offence. Blasie visibly deflated.
"I never thought I was, but now that I think about it I never liked it as much as I should have with the girls. I always felt like something was missing."
"You know that the Weasley girl thinks I'm gay? Or did anyway. I told her I was bisexual." Blaise nodded thoughtfully.
"I guess that's a good explanation as any, I would have said you were I'll-settle-for-anything-that-moves." Draco clipped him on the head, enjoying the carefree attitude they both at adopted. Soon they wouldn't be able to continue.
"I resent that! I never had a Hufflepuff, or a Gryffindor." He added thoughtfully, thinking that perhaps that last wouldn't be true for much longer.
"Liar, what about Bones? She was a Hufflepuff if I recall." Draco grinned and shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, I forgot about one or two." A snort came from just outside the room at Fred and Ginny walked in. Fred grinned widely, flicked out a tongue to taste his top lip, and made a grab for Blaise.
"Back off Gryffindor. I'm not in the mood." Blaise placed himself as far as he could from Fred who pouted. Draco was again reminded just how feminine his friend was.
"You know you want me." Fred struck a ridiculous pose, Blasie laughed along with Draco but Ginny ignored him.
"Its good to know that all your conquests were so engraved in your brain." She leaned close to him and whispered so only he could hear. "I will not be another notch on your bed post."
"You want to be." He whispered back. She glared at him, he smirked.
"Would you two stop with the foreplay all ready? I don't want to see my sister like that." Ron walked into the room, one hand clinging to Millicent. "Luna's going to stay with my parents, George will be down in a minute." He added to Draco.
"You don't know what you are talking about." Ginny said a dangerous edge to her voice.
"Sure, okay. Where's Harry? And Snape?" Draco shrugged.
"Severus said ten minutes."
"What is this about anyway? Are the Death Eaters attacking us again?" Ginny asked.
"Well I can't say that they've actually stopped attacking us, just that so far they've been unsuccessful. Severus found a rat Animagus." He gestured towards the rat and was very surprised at the malice Ron and Ginny directed at it.
"Kill the bastard." Ron said, mirroring Harry's earlier comments. Ginny shook her head in full agreement. Fred and George only vaguely glared, their heads together whispering to each other.
"Well… we have to first see what information he has. Do you know Pettigrew?" he didn't know how they would know but if Harry had known then…
"I'd say so. Bastard lived with us for quite a few years." To say that he was shocked would have been an understatement.
"You lived with that?" Millicent said disgust present in every syllable. Ron glanced at her, pure hatred for the rat threading through his every movement.
"If we had known that it was Pettigrew he would have been dead years ago."
"Well should we wake him, I think its been more then ten minutes. Hasn't it?" Blasie asked, one eyebrow raised, eagerly waiting for the interrogation.
"I don't know if Snape said we should wait…" Millicent said but stopped when her fellow Slytherins and four Weasley's turned a glare on her. "Fine whatever, invoke Snapes wrath! I don't care." She plopped down at the kitchen table, secretly she was just as eager to find out what he knew, she just really didn't want to piss of Snape.
"There's a good girl. Now we should get something to restrain him, in human form." He glanced thoughtfully at the rat for a moment. "Perhaps a spell to keep him in human form would be useful too. Do any of you know one?" he looked around the room, everyone shook their heads at him. He frowned.
"I bet Snape does though." The blond nodded.
"Okay I'll go get him, see if he knows a spell to help, you guys just… I don't… stay here." He started up the stairs. When he reached the attic door he heard the two arguing. Of course.
"I don't have to justify myself to a spoilt-"
"You are just angry bitter-"
"Child who wouldn't know true bravery if it bit him on the ass!
"Old man who can't even pretend to tolerate anyone!" He heard no more arguing after that and figured it was safe to enter. He was wrong. His ex-Head of House was devouring Harry Potter, whose hands were gripping the other man's arse.
"Harry, Severus we… er… have a ... bloody hell we'll take care of it you guys just… just." He stammered before trying to get as far from the active couple as he could. Luna stuck her head out of the room.
"Do you need my help with something, Draco?" she asked, her smile was knowing and amused. Draco frowned. What was it with this girl? Did she bloody know everything?
"Well…don't go to the attic anytime soon." He was debating asking her about the Animagus spell when she smiled again.
"Oh, I know. I'd have warned you but I didn't know you were going up there." Merlin, he was right the girl must have the Sight.
"I could hear them arguing from down here." She smiled at him, dreamily of course. So not a Seer, but he still had a nagging suspicion of the girl.
"Do you know a spell that could keep an Animagi from changing?" she frowned at him.
"I don't think there is one. You'll just have to tie him up or something." How did she know about that? Merlin she was confusing. He chose to ignore it for the moment, nodded his head and started back down the stairs. As he walked into the kitchen it was obvious the group had some major animosity toward each other. Ginny glared at the floor, her face pick, Blaise was smacking his hands against his thigh, a nervous gesture he had seen the boy do many times before, as Fred made wildly inappropriate innuendos with his hands. Ron and Millicent kept sending each other looks of longing and puppy love. George seemed to be the only one not affected by anything, he was staring at the rat.
"So, Snape's busy… er… with Harry. So we'll just have to do this ourselves." Millicent looked like she wanted to protest but the others looked willing and some eager. "All right so we'll have to keep him from escaping into his rat form. A binding spell that reacts to the changing size will work." I think he added to himself. They gathered around ht rat, now lying on the table eyes wild, he looked like he was about to cry.
"Okay, so I know the spell to get him to his human side. And the binding spell…" George nodded his head, wand all ready out and pointing.
"Then you go first, see if this is going to work properly." George mumbled and a long rope flew out of his wand like a snake and wrapped around the rat tying him to a chair.
"Good, okay then my turn." He pointed his wand and pictured the rat's human form. Peter glared at the fearfully from his position on the chair. Draco didn't give him a chance to say a word he pointed his wand again.
"Legilimens." He forced himself easily through the blocks the rat had put up. Flashes of Hogwarts, a man who must be Harry's father and his cousin Sirius, changing with three others, racing towards the Forbidden Forest. Pettigrew's clumsy attempts with a girl, he didn't know who it was. Then attacking his friend, yelling on the street, cutting off his finger and racing away… at the burrow… Draco stopped and almost retched. He glared hatefully at the rat, then turned his eyes to the Weasley children an intense look on his face.
"Oh Merlin, I'm sorry."
Peter's Memories
The rat sneaked away from his cage, carefully changing into his human form. He started down at the sleeping boy his mouth set in a wide grin. This was almost too perfect to believe. He had been free from the Dark Lord, for years now, no one suspected a thing about his treachery and he was here. Mrs. Weasley always remembered to feed him, gave him special treats even, but the best part were all these beautiful children.
For years he had suppressed his urges, knowing that if he acted on them he would be caught. He was forced to be content with photographs and watching the first and second years. Now though there was no way anyone could suspect him. With a bit of wandless magic, becoming an Animagus helped wizards perform small amounts of magic with out the use of a wand, he pushed the boy into a deep sleep. He hastily ripped open his pants, already achingly hard. Leaning on the bed he pulled the blankets of the boy while casting a quick silencing charm, not very powerful but enough, on the room.
This boy had loved him for years, petting him telling him all his secrets. How much he loved his family but knew they never liked him. How much he wanted to be appreciated. Tonight he would show Percy Weasley how much he appreciated him. He ripped the pajama bottoms off, groaning at the pale flesh that was revealed to him. Finally he would be able to release all his urges, to be fully spent. He tied the nine year old to the bed and lifted the spell. The boy's eyes widen fearfully, he started to sob.
"Who are you? Mum! Dad! Charlie! Bill!" he spread the boys legs, he was shaking wildly. "MUM!"
"Shush… Percy I just wanted you to know how much I loved you… how wonderfully clever you are, how beautiful." He entered the boy with a swift thrust.
"Mum!"
Kitchen
"You disgusting, worthless piece of trash, how could you!" Surprising everyone in the room he launched himself at the shaking man tied to the chair.
"An innocent, a fucking innocent boy! You ruined his life, I'll bet."
"I don't know… wh…what are you talking about?" Pettigrew strained the ropes trying to push himself as far away from the angry Malfoy as possible. Draco grabbed the back of his head, fingers wrapped painfully around his graying hair and pushed his face into the table with such force that Pettigrew passed out.
"Well that was an interesting sight, care to explain why you did not wait for me?" Draco whirled around and gave Severus his best Malfoy glare.
"Sorry we didn't wait for you to finish with Potter!" Two spots of color appeared high on Severus' cheekbones. He said nothing.
"What did you find out, Draco?" the tentative voice came from Ginny, he allowed himself to soften slightly.
"I need to speak with you Severus." He ignored the hurt look on Ginny's face and instead focused on the stewing man in front on him, Severus nodded and walked into the hallway.
"He raped them, Severus. Percy, Ron… Ginny." Severus looked only mildly surprised.
"Well I assume that means you entered his mind?"
"How can you be so calm about this? He forced three innocent children none even Hogwarts age to have sex with him." Draco was shaking with fury.
"Did he Obliviate them afterwards?" His voice was strained, but otherwise no emotion played at all.
"I don't… he did. It was all there, I just didn't watch everything." Severus nodded.
"Well then should they even be told?" he raised on eyebrow. "It is obvious they do not remember, maybe this is a memory they don't want back."
"It just seems wrong not to tell them." Draco placed a hand on the wall.
"Perhaps, but we really have enough to worry about. If after this is done and you wish still wish to give their memories back… I shall return your then." Draco barely had enough time to gasp before Snape raised his wand.
"Obliviate!"
"Do you think that's wise, Snape?" Arthur Weasley stood at the top of the stairs, Luna behind him an unreadable expression her pale face.
"I do, its best if he doesn't know anything, the same as your children. No one should have those memories." Severus glared, daring the man to say anything.
"Ah, well we shall see. We shall see." He turned to Luna. "I must be going, please watch after my Molly, thank you."
"Ms. Lovegood has been filing me in on what is going on here." He shifted his gaze to Severus. "Is it true?" To his surprise the normally stoic man blushed. "Well I see that at least part of what she told me is. You and Harry then?" Arthur was an easy going man, he held no qualms with anyone, except the Malfoys, he only mildly looked concerned.
"I don't… it is a mistake. The boy is too young I know." Arthur was surprised that the man was even speaking to him like this.
"Preposterous, the boy is of age. If he wishes to keep up this relationship, then go for it. You have done nothing wrong." Severus didn't say anything.
"Severus? Severus, something is wrong I know it. Where am I? What's going on?" They turned to the blond boy; he looked at Arthur with suspicion.
"Draco what are you going on about? I did not… damn it. What's the last thing you remember?" Draco looked puzzled.
"Sleeping at the Manor." Severus pounded his fist into the wall.
"Bloody Hell I don't need this too!" Draco and Arthur only watched.
"Fine, fine… Draco you are in the Weasley home," he dared the blond to interrupt him, Draco said nothing. "Your soul mate is Ginny Weasley." He sputtered.
"What? How?"
"Think boy, what would bring you in the middle of the night to house of you soul mate?" Understanding flared in his eyes.
"Oh. Of course."
"Yes, well we have work to do." Together they walked into the kitchen. Ron who had been practically hanging on Millicent jumped to his feet as his father entered, his face flushed. The rest of the Weasley children raced over to their father.
"So mum will be the last then?" George asked, while wrapping an arm around his sister, Fred wrapped his around Ron.
"I suppose she will." Loud jeering suddenly erupted from the Death Eaters outside. The group inside turned toward a window, not noticing Harry and Draco both creeping toward the unconscious man tied to a chair. The two boys had a silent conversation until Harry lost his patience and held his wand to Draco's neck. Draco glared but gestured to get on with it.
"Do you think something important happening outside?" Ginny asked. Severus rolled his eyes muttering about idiot Gryffindors. Unfortunately for him the twins heard and with an indigent huff they spelled his robes red and gold. Severus was livid, he rounded on them fully intending to hex the twins to the South Africa when he spotted Draco and Harry sneaking out of the room, with Pettigrew trailing after them.
"Jut what do you think you are doing? We need to question him?" he was thoroughly confused when Draco sneered at him.
"Fuck you Severus. I already found everything we need from him. He cast the spell, intending for everyone's worst enemy to enter. However he thought of Harry not his worst enemy. And the rat didn't even say the right incantation so the spell backfired, and hear we are enjoying our fucking soul mates. You betrayed me, arsehole." Harry pointed his wand and Pettigrew vanished along with Harry a moment later.
"Damn it Harry!" Draco yelled as he hurriedly rushed up the stairs Severus and Arthur at his heels.
"Avada Kedavra!"
