Love Conquers All

Chapter Six: Obituaries

The next day the first thing that came to Harry's mind was those terrible nightmares. He wanted to tell someone about it but he just can't. Tom Tyrell gave him a note when he was about to go out of the Common Room.

Potter,

The Dark Lord will talk to us tonight at 11pm

He kept the note after reading it and went in the Great Hall.

That night, Tom and Harry went in the Room of Requirement, used a portkey and soon they arrived in the Riddle House.

"Tonight, I am planning to kill a few people that are useless to us" Voldemort told them of his plans.

"It might go out in the news and it might surprise you," He continued. Tom a.k.a. Draco is having a strange feeling about Voldemort's plan of killing or attacking someone tonight.

The two of them left the room, Peter was outside waiting for them.

"Come and follow me," He said leading them into a library filled with old, battered and shattered books.

With their curiosity, Harry and Draco did follow Peter in the Library.

"What do you want?" Harry asked.

"I must talk to you" Peter replied.

"You're talking to me already and I think there's nothing to talk about"

"It's about the Dark Lord's plans!!"

"WE already know that!"

"Do you know who he's going to kill?"

"No"

"I can tell you"

"Do you mean that you are going to betray the Dark Lord by telling us that?" Draco added.

"Yes"

"You're going to be killed" Harry said.

"It doesn't matter to me, Harry. I have regretted the day I have betrayed your parents. I am willing to die so that I can repay my debts to you"

Harry prepared to leave.

"He will kill the Dursleys!!! And he will also kill Draco's mother and aunt"

"That's…a lie!" Harry stopped.

"I am not lying"

"We had a deal. He said he wouldn't harm any of the people who are related to me"

"Is that the reason why you joined us?" Draco looked at Harry.

"The potion he gave to you was a mind control potion"

"If it was a mind control potion how come I am not being controlled right now?"

"That's because he's looking for the perfect time to control you"

"That's not true!" Harry left.

"Tell me, Pettigrew are you lying or not?" Draco asked him.

"I am not"

"Look, I love my mother and if you're just joking about the Dark Lord killing her tonight I'll make sure you'll be dead" Draco pointed his wand.

"You must help, Harry" Peter shoved the wand away.

"You must help him in defeating the Dark Lord and save the people he loves" He continued.

"Very well then, if the things you said are real I will help Potter and if they are not…I will go back here and kill you"

"There's no use on that, for I may not see the sun rise"

Draco left.

"If one day he will be controlled, let him drink this potion that I stole from the Dark Lord" Peter went after Draco and gave him a small bottle.

Another day came and there were no news of dead people and whatsoever.

"Pettigrew was lying last night," Harry muttered to Tom at breakfast.

"But what if the Minister doesn't want it to appear in the newspaper?" Tom asked. Harry didn't reply.

Friday came so fast; Ron was reading the Daily Prophet.

"Hang on, aren't these Malfoy's aunt, and mother?" Ron showed Hermione the Obituary page of the paper.

"You're right…they're dead. It says here Malfoy killed them"

"That ferret's bloody mental, I couldn't believe he'll have the guts to kill his own mother"

"Oh no!"

"What? What's wrong with you Hermione?"

"The Dursleys are dead too, Lupin's badly wounded, 3 Aurors died and 24 other muggles died"

"Serves them right those Dursleys but I don't think those Aurors and the other Muggles deserve to die"

"Ron! Don't say that!"

"The Dursleys were rude to Harry"

"But they're Harry's only living relative, how'd you think Harry will react when he'll know that they died"

"Dunno…Nothing?"

Harry came and sat near them, Hermione slowly gave Harry the paper. Harry read it and did nothing but stare at its black and white pages. He passed the paper to Tom Tyrell.

Hermione noticed that Tom looked badly affected.

"That's Weird"

"What's weird?"

"Look at Tom, he looks badly affected with the news"

"Who wouldn't be, Hermione? You-Know-Who could kill loads of people…you don't know that maybe you're next"

"You have a point but still---never mind"

Harry was walking around the school. Half of what Pettigrew told them last night was true but he wasn't quite sure if the mind control potion was true or not. He does not know why but a fragment of pain was in his heart when he knew that the Dursleys are dead. Sure, they were rude, mean to him and didn't treat him well but at least they still accepted him and he was a bit grateful for that but they're dead. Harry has nothing to do anymore but make sure Ron and Hermione are not next.
