I Don't Own Harry Potter

Chapter 7


Summer came and left, as was autumn. It was in the cold months of October that Severus, Lucius and Draco were visited by an unexpected couple.

"What are you doing here?" Severus asked as he stared at the red-head in front of him.

"I am here to see the little prince…Marcus would not allow me to come by myself, so he came with me." The visitor replied. Before Severus could reply, Draco ran passed him.

"Abigail…I've missed you!" Draco smiled as he hugged the Vampire around the neck.

"I've missed you too Little Prince." Abigail replied. "Have you been treating your father well?" Draco nodded.

"Very…Are you and Marcus going to stay here long?" Draco asked.

"It depends on what your fathers have to say…I must say our arrival was unexpected to them." Marcus replied evenly.

"Oh." Draco's smile fell a little. He then turned towards Severus and gave a slight pout. "Papa…"

"We will have to ask your Father…Come inside you two…just know that if either of you try anything…" Severus threatened.

"We know." Marcus growled. "Abigail…"

"Yes, yes of course…Little Prince I have so much to tell you about our travels." Abigail stated as she led Draco inside and the two of them started to converse with one another. Marcus and Severus were left in the door way.

"Into the Kitchen," Severus stated evenly as he motioned for the Vampire to follow him. As he got tea out for the both of them he asked. "What are you doing here?"

"Abigail wanted to see Draconis." Marcus replied. "I could not, in proper mind, let her come into a Wizards dwelling without proper protection."

"Why is she interested in Draco?" Severus asked as he emphasized Draco's name. It annoyed him that these Vampires were using Draco's full name.

"Abigail feels that Draconis has potential for change. She would not elaborate on what she meant by that. All I know is that after we arrived back to our manor and had taken care of the surviving members of our Coven, she insisted that we return for a visit." Marcus replied. "We have no intention of harming any of you…but I feel that Abigail has taken Draconis on as a successor…or an heir." Severus slammed his cup onto the table.

"Draco will not become a Vampire." He growled. "If that is your intention then leave this place at once."

"That is not Abigail's intention…or so I am led to believe…I…"

"Marcus…you should not discuss what you do not understand." A voice interrupted.

"Abigail!" Marcus stated as he turned towards her. Draco was in her arms, resting his head on her shoulder watching them with his silver eyes. A smile hit his lips as he saw Severus. Straightening up he jumped out of Abigail's embrace and moved towards his papa.

"Papa…Abigail wants to become my teacher…she wants to teach me all about Vampire and everything she knows about other creatures…just think, I could become a Nargles expert and maybe one day convince them to stop steeling my socks.

"Draco, I've already told you…" Severus was cut off by Abigail.

"Severus Snape, I wish to help you educate the little Prince…I know you have seen it too, the potential for greatness." Abigail stated. "I want nothing more than to have a hand in his teaching."

"For what reason?" Severus asked.

"I would rather discuss that when your mate has arrived."

"Lucius is not my mate." Severus replied with a faint blush.

"Papa…" Draco asked as he leaned over to whisper in Severus's ear. "What does it mean to be a person's mate?" For once in his life, Severus was speechless.

"Well, Dragon…Abigail…"

"It's the same as saying spouse…like how Marcus is my mate. It is someone who will love you unconditionally…that is not your parent." Abigail replied.

"Can you have more than one?" Draco asked. "And where can I find one? Do you get one at the shopping center…or at a school? Father told me he met Papa at school."

"They can be anywhere young Draconis." Marcus stated. "They can be your neighbor or end up being your best friend…but you only have one…sometimes people go years, and even lifetimes without finding their mate. You can only ever hope to be lucky to find yours; and when you do, you must protect them with everything you have."

"I think I understand…so then Papa is Father's mate." Draco stated as his forehead creased as he concentrated on his thoughts. Suddenly he smile and looked up at his papa. "I'm glad papa is mated with Father…I'm glad Papa is loved by someone besides me…cause I'll be really sad if Papa was left unloved if I was gone." This statement caused everyone to pause as they looked at Draco.

"Draco…your aren't going anywhere…"Severus stated as he pulled Draco closer to him. It terrified him to think about losing Draco forever.

"Little Prince…you will forever have us backing you, and protecting you." Abigail stated. Everyone suddenly heard the door open and close. They all turned towards the doorway to see Lucius Malfoy enter the kitchen. Looking straight at Severus he simply asked.

"Severus, why are there two Vampires in our Kitchen?"


After Severus and Abigail had put Draco to bed, the two of them entered the kitchen where Marcus and Lucius were talking.

"Now, Lady Abigail, why won't you be so kind as to inform me about the reason why you want to tutor Draco?" Lucius asked as he stared at the Vampires with all the composure of the Pureblood he was.

"Lucius…the little Prince…Draco…is an amazing child." Abigail stated. "I thought that the first moment I met him…but I didn't think much of it until I received word from a sister of mine in Albania…she hold much sway in what is said in concern to the Russian covens. She informed me that the Dark Lord Voldemort is still very much alive."

"Impossible!" Severus stated.

"No!" Lucius exclaimed. Both Severus's and Lucius's eyes widened at this piece of evidence.

"It's true…he is still weak…but he is alive." Abigail stated. "He will rise again, and it will only be a matter of years. But that is only part of the reason I want to teach your son." Abigail looked at them. "With the downfall of the Dark Lord, the Ministry of Magic has turned against all Dark Creatures…I'm sure you might have noticed. But the noose that was around our neck has tightened all the more; now that the Dark Lord has fallen…the Ministry is looking for any reason to kill our kind. Many have already fallen by their hands in what they deemed to be 'self-defense'. What the Aurors fail to mention is that many of these Vampire that they have slain where nothing more than Vampires trying to protect their young or mate. Yet these atrocities are only the tip of the iceberg. Werewolves, Centaurs, Veelas, Elves, and banshees have all been targeted as well, we have been deemed 'sub-human'. Did you know that a whole tribe of Elves were massacred not three months ago in southern Scotland? My Coven came to their aid, and managed to rescue twenty Elven Children. We ripped them away from their dying parents before the Ministries dogs realized they were there. Many of the parents who were dying start to cry their thanks to us as we protected them and brought them back to our manor…" Abigail paused for a moment as blood fell from her eyes. Lucius conjured up a box of tissues as both wizards listened to her.

"How many…how many were in the village?" Severus asked.

"About a hundred…we got all the children…but none of the parents made it…currently they are being taken care of at our coven, as they will be for the next year…our coven is doing everything to help them with their grief…We have members looking for other tribes to warn them. If things don't settle down in a year, then we will ask them to join our coven, as none of the tribes will be safe for them." Marcus answered as he gripped Abigail's hand.

"What does this have to do with Draco?" Lucius asked.

"There are people in this world who have an affinity for Dark Creatures…Draco has it…just as you do Lucius." Abigail stated. She looked at him. "Unfortunately it was never cultured enough when you were a child…so it's faint…but in the second raising of Voldemort, there will have to be change." Abigail looked at the men around her and took a deep breath. "There will be those who side with the Dark Lord and his ideals of cleansing the Wizarding World of the non-magical kind. There will be the Ministries, or rather Albus Dumbledore, as he is the one that pulls the strings behind the ministries, and his ideals of equality between the human population and things will continue as it has." Abigail paused for a moment. "Then there will have to be us…the Third side…the one that wants equality between everyone…When the second battle comes, we will need a wizard who can communicate both with the Creatures of the magical world and with the Wizards."

"So in other words, you want to model my son into a weapon you can use in the new war?" Lucius asked. "You will have to do it over my dead body."

"No! I do not want the Little Prince to become a weapon…I want him to…I don't know just yet, but he is our only chance for change…He is the only one." Abigail replied.

"What about Harry Potter?" Severus sneered.

"He can't do it…he's already underneath Dumbledore's thumb, even if he hasn't gone to that Wizarding School." Abigail replied. "We need Draco."

"NO!" Lucius replied.

"Father…I want to help." A voice called out. All heads turned towards the door where there stood Draco Malfoy. Tears were streaming down his eyes.

"No!" Lucius replied. "I forbid you from helping…I don't want you to become involved in a war that we were able to get you out of."

"I want to help." Draco replied. "Father…if neither side does anything to help those who are suffering, then what do you think is going to happen. At the rate things are going, more and more people are going to die because of stupid fear…Humans are a horrid creature who harms everyone…I have the ability to help people and I want too…Please Father…think about those Children…If I was one of them, I don't know what I would do…"

"Draco…" Lucius replied. He couldn't help but think that his son was so wise. "If that is what you want to do…but" Lucius looked at Abigail. "If at any moment, you want to back out, you no longer want to be a part of this, then you can get out…you can't hold him to this Lady Abigail. If he wants out, then Draco can get out."

"Agreed," Abigail stated as she let out a breath of air. "Agreed."

"There is still that other matter to discuss Abigail." Marcus replied. "With the Dark Lord returning, our side will be weak. We were not around during the last war, therefore we have no connections that we can call upon at a moment notice should there be an attack."

"No…that is why I was hoping that either you Lucius or you Severus knew Wizards who would side with us."

"I have one, but she will be difficult to contact…Molly Weasley…she is a supported for Dumbledore, but I believe that with the right persuasion we could convince her to join our side. She has several children, and will want to do everything in her power to protect them…there is also Minerva McGonagall, but I would hold off with her, she is the deputy headmistress of Hogwarts, Dumbledore's right hand woman." Severus stated.

"Andromeda Tonks…her husband is a muggle, and she was my sister-in-law…she was a part of the Black family and because of that knows discrimination first hand. She will fight. So will Augusta Longbottom; I can't think she is too pleased with either side of the war after what they did to her son." Lucius stated. Abigail nodded. "Only Three then…"

"Those are the ones for certain…I believe that there might be a way to increase that number." Severus stated. "In a few years, I'll be going to Hogwarts to teach Potions, I am certain there are several among Dumbledore's ranks just looking for a third option. I will try to find them."

"I see…hopefully we will have support for when the second War comes around." Abigail then slumped into her seat. "To think we have just finished the first War…and already we are preparing for the Second."

"Because in actuality it was never really over; this time there will just be new players on the field." Marcus stated. "Powerful player." He looked over at Draco, clad in his pajamas closed his eyes. He really hoped Abigail knew what she was doing, bring Wizards into their side.

As Severus watched on, he couldn't help but hope that everything would turn out well in the end.


Thus began Draco's extra lessons. While he still attended his muggle school, he spent the rest of his time either being taught by Severus or talking with Abigail. He began to learn more and more. The following Christmas brought Andromeda, Ted and Nymphadora Tonks to their small home. It also brought Augusta and Neville Longbottom into the house. It was then that they were introduced to Abigail and Marcus. Who filled them in on the true atrocities that the Ministry was doing.

"Lady Abigail…"Tonks started.

"Yes Nymphadora?" Abigail asked. Tonks hair flashed red.

"Don't call me Nymphadora!" Tonks growled as Abigail looked at her in shock before her face broke out in a grin.

"Forgive me Nymph." Abigail stated. "What was your question?"

"I would like to join you." Tonks stated. "I still have a year at Hogwarts…and I'm on the track to enter Aurors Training." Tonks paused and looked at Abigail. "So I don't doubt that it would be real easy for Dumbledore to include me into the Order of the Phoenix, when the time arises…I could be a spy for you…I mean, I can keep an eye on Dumbledore's movement within the Order and I can also start looking for people who might…you know, not be as loyal to Dumbledore as Dumbledore might believe." Tonks replied. Abigail paused for a moment, as she contemplated this piece of information.

"Alright…it would help our cause…but I want you to be careful Nymph…I don't want such a pretty girl like you to get hurt." Abigail stated.

"One last question…why are you calling me Nymph…"Tonks asked.

"Because that is what you remind me of." Abigail stated leaving the stunned Witch standing there.


Of all the Adults, Augusta was the easiest to gain onto their side. She wanted retribution for what had happened to her son and daughter-in-law. She would not stand for her grandson, for Neville to be used in the same way they were. Andromeda wasn't that much harder as she had witnessed firsthand just how hard it was to be a part of a family with a negative last name, she couldn't help but think how bad it would be to not even be human and have to live in the current world. The stories about the Elves were what pushed both Women over any remaining feeling against this movement. With news that the situation wasn't improving, and that for the most part it wasn't worsening, Andromeda went as far as to offer to come visit Abigail's coven to help them with the twenty Elven Children who had come to remain within the coven.

Abigail had to admit, that while their side was still small, there was a lot of hope in her vision. She looked over at Draco. Already at eight, he was showing signs of a leader. He was shaping up to be exactly what she had hoped he would become. He was turning into an intelligent young man who saw what was happening and knew it was wrong. He was gaining an ability to argue his point, and make it to the point where he could get other people to believe his point. The only fault that she could see was his lack of companions. The only person his age she saw him communicate with was Neville, and no one else. She feared that this would lead him to become insecure in himself. While he was sturdy with his principles when it came to himself, he was a shy child. After several weeks of discussions, she taught him that the best way to unnerve your opponent was to smile at them. To give them a pleasant smile and they would come crumbling at your feet. She had shown him the power of simply giving a smile as they were walking along the park and had seen an ice-cream vendor. With a simple smile, and a little flitting, she had gotten them both free ice-creams. She noticed Draco giving a shy smile at Andromeda as he asked her about her life. She was more than pleased when Andromeda lowered her defenses and started telling him stories of her past. Abigail sent a look over at Severus and knew he knew. Severus had been watching over both her and Draco, and knew that in the end, it might only be Lucius, Severus and herself who ever truly figure out when Draco was truly smiling, and when he was putting up a mask.


Hope you like.
