I woke up with a sudden start as Hermione's worried face loomed over me. I sat up dazed, what the hell was going on? I turned my gaze towards the rest of the tent, drowning out Hermione's instructions. I'll listen to her later, everyone was running around, George, Ginny and Fred running out of the tent. Harry holding up a tired looking Ron who kept tripping over his feet. Before I knew it, I was on my own feet and grabbing my wand under my pillow.
Okay Dray, what spells do you remember? Racking my brain for jinxes and hexes that would temporarily stun any death eaters. I knew exactly what was happening, and what was going on. I remember Father and the poor family of muggle born wizards and of course the Dark Mark. I spared a quick glance to Harry who had finally got Ron to fully wake up and grabbed Hermione's hand, we needed to get out of here.
The woods, we ended up at the woods and eventually, Harry and I got seperated from both Hermione and Ron; whom I'm hoping had actually found the Twins and Ginny. Arthur, Bill, Charlie and Percy were out trying to tame the chaos. Trying to defeat any more dark wizards that were trying to do more harm than good.
Hexes, Jinx, anything would do… okay so intrusus; an anti intruder jinx. Iaculat; able to blow multiple offensive blasts. I couldn't think of any spells to hurt right now, all I knew was the three unforgivables.
"Dray!" Harry shook me, I turned back to him, "I-I think I lost my wand…" he what? I sighed and rubbed my forehead. Of course he loses his wand, that complete and utter- okay… okay… calm down Dray.
"It's fine I have my wand, where do you think you lost it?" I asked.
"Um…. I-I don't, I don't, I don't know… I think- I think I left it back at the tent- tent -tent." he finished. I widened my eyes, he was terrified. I grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into my body, letting him calm down. Feeling his beating heart run down and slow into its natural pulse as he sighed and leaned further into me. I sighed, I knew exactly what was going to happen and who was going to do it. I looked back at Harry and intertwined our fingers together.
"Let's just leave the chaos, try to find the others alright?" I pulled Harry through the woods with me. Trekking up the logs, climbing through different nature obstacles and almost screamed when I walked into a spider web. "Stupid second year…" I mumbled as I flicked the puny spider away. Harry stopped me in the middle of walking, before I could say anything a huge wave of green spread over us. I looked at the sky and there it was the Dark Mark.
A symbol of all the hatred Death Eater's had towards muggles and muggleborns, all the hatred towards humans. Yeah that's right, humans, wizards, weird people who transform into wolves during the full moons… pretty sure they're called something. The Dark Lor- Tom Riddle, knows what he's getting into, my father did and does now. So they better be ready, because I'm not not going to back down. I tightened my hand on my wand, staring coldly at the Dark Mark. I turned and gazed at my arm, where it used to be brandished, my Dark Mark. The hairs on my neck stood up and for a moment it was as if I could feel the searing pain of the Dark Mark on my arm again. Danger!
"Get down!" I pulled Harry down as blasts and heavy curses were aimed at us by what I'm guessing were Aurors. "Protego!" I shouted, waving my wand around and creating a little dome-like shield around both Harry and I. "Stop! Stop!" I shouted, they wouldn't listen and Harry wasn't doing to well.
"Wait! Wait! That's Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, stop it!" the voice of Arthur Weasley commanded, almost all the curses and hexes flying over our heads had died down. I pulled Harry up with me and glared at the nearest auror.
"Who did it?" Barty Crouch demanded, he grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled me forward.
"Dray!"
"Watch what you do Mr Crouch. Wouldn't want Junior to slip up to the Ministry now, do we?" I whispered the last part and felt complete and utter Slytherin satisfaction when the man paled. "Do we?" I said louder. The man coughed and shook his head. I shoved him off me and brushed myself off. "If you think we're the ones that conjured up the Dark Mark then you're highly mistaken. This is Harry Potter you're talking about," I said, motioning to Harry. Who looked at me as if he saw a ghost, I quirked an eyebrow but shook it off. He's probably still scared. "Could you imagine the uproar the Wizarding community would have, if they thought you'd been suspecting Harry Potter. The saviour of the Wizarding War and Muggles. Don't be daft." I sneered and shook my head.
"Nothing stops that from suggesting it was you that performed the spell." I turned and glared towards the voice of the Auror who said the comment. He was lanky and arms that could compete with a gorilla. I sneered and cocked my head to the direction that the Dark Mark came from. A skinny auror with shaggy blonde hair and fidgety fingers went over to check it out.
"Yes, please by all means suspect that it was me who performed the spell. Draco Malfoy ofcourse. A cursed name that my father owns, a name that linked towards Death Eater kind. Draco Malfoy, the boy who ran away from his Father and home. Draco Malfoy, the boy who gave up his mother to his Father and ran like a coward. Draco Malfoy, the boy was supposed to be sorted into Slytherin but the Sorting Hat chose Gryffindor. Draco Malfoy, the boy who's dating Harry Potter. Draco Malfoy, the boy who'll give up his life to protect the people he loves." I was now in front of the man. His burly arms clenching against his sides as he looked down at me. "The boy who never had a choice. The boy who never had the life he wanted. The boy who never got what he wanted. The boy who grew up in a messed up family. The boy who's going to expose a Death Eater right now, isn't that right? Harrison Glowwirthm!" I pulled his arm and ripped his sleeve revealing the faint Dark Mark. Gasps were heard from everyone and I was pulled away as everyone tried to grab Harrison.
"Boys leave," Arthur pushed us away. He gave Harry his wand back, where did he find that? I looked at Harry and shrugged. We intertwined our hands and ran through thick grassed, leapt over big logs and ducked away from low branches. Before making it into a clearing, finding the rest of the Weasleys and Hermione back at the tent. Hermione was the first to see us.
"Dray! Prongs!" she screamed and ran towards us. I hid behind Harry as she came and tackled us to the ground, "I thought you guys were dead! Don't ever do that! Completely gone! No traces left! What were you thinking? You could have died, you could have run into some Death Eaters!" she screamed and cried. Ron came and patted our backs.
"She's been worrying for forever. Oi, Griffin? They're alright, a little shaken up aren't you Prongs, but fine!" he reassured. I nodded and looked at Harry who was ghostly white, I swung an arm around his shoulders and pulled him closer to me. I turned back to the others and smiled reassuringly.
"So what happened?" Ron asked as we all separated from the rest of the group. Fred and George were also with us.
"Harry lost his wand. Winky found it." I squinted trying to remember what Potter had told me last time. "Harrison Glowwirthm, was a Death Eater in disguise. I went and outed him, I remember him from the Manor and all that- that's not the point what the point is. Well, Winky was the one who created the Death Eater spell and sent it up into the sky, this caused many of the Death Eater's to apparate away. They just phonies, people who don't actually want the Dark Lord to come back but they do want to show that they are back. This is confusing, they're scared of the Dark Lord but they don't want to show it. Gat it? Who cares, anyway I have bigger issues to face. When Winky was told to say who asked her to perform the spell, she said it was Barty Crouch. Of course Mr Crouch fired her and all… she's going to have a hard time getting some work, oh and-"
"That's horrible!"
"Griffin, you can talk about your S.P.E.W. movement later. What we really need to talk about is the Dark Mark. It's a lot more important than Winky's fate… for now." I looked at the others and it became a silent agreement. Focus on the task.
