Merry Christmas! Sorry for the late upload but the reason is, my x-mas present to you guys (the people who read my stories) is that I'm more or less uploading a chapter on each of my fanfics. Inspiration came in the form of YouTube (I don't own it)
So have fun and review at the end!
I don't own a thing but the title means You're Not Dean
Chapter 8
Vos es non Dean
Time is like eternity, it goes on and on. My mind is whirring like a clock does, never sleeping and never stopping. In less than three hours everything is going to change. Draco swallowed hard lying on his bed, Dean had been tossing and turning trying to get comfy, but the creaks from the bed were only making the atmosphere even tenser than it already was. "Do you remember what to do?" Draco asked into the darkness.
After a brief moment's silence. "The moment I've got my wand I blast my way out of here." Dean replied giving up the illusion of being asleep.
"And we run as fast as we can." Draco replied. Draco let out a sigh. He was about to say something else when a sudden bang from downstairs made the boys jump up. "Quiet!" Muffled noises followed by a loud scream. "Mother!" Draco whispered, he felt his heart stop on fear alone. He heard a series of muffled voices. Dean sprung up from the bed. "Don't!" He whispered. "Not yet!"
If his father was back three hours early then that could mean one thing. Someone's snitched. Well this makes things even tighter for the plan. Reaching under the bed he grabbed the small strip of bedding containing their small supply of dry food. Dean grabbed a piece of wood he had broken off. It still contained the nails that had been hammered into it. He held it firmly in his hands.
The sound of muffled noises was close to driving anyone mad. Don't think just do. Don't hesitate, don't look back... Draco repeated the mantra deep in his skull. He could feel his palms feel damp and sweaty. And just concentrate.
Dean was slowly getting up off the bed. Just escape. Once you've found your route just go for it. Don't think just concentrate on two things: getting your wand back and leaving this hell hole. He tightened his grip even more on the plank of wood.
"Has he made his mind up?" Lucius's voice rang loud and clear. Draco swallowed down the lump in his throat. He heard a muffled reply. "You don't know? Out of my way! This is how you get the job done!"
Even in the darkness Dean and Draco met each other's gaze. "Now!" Draco whispered. Knowing how his father's mid worked. He would have grabbed his mother, to show her what a fool she was, who in turn had their wands. He took a deep breath as he watched Dean's outline go behind the door.
But instead they heard a different noise. The sound of a whimpering man. Dean pressed himself against the door in hopes to hear something. "I-I-I've told you everything!" Dean's eyebrows rose with surprise. It was Ollivander! "Please! Don't! NO!" A series of screams was heard throughout the Malfoy Manor.
"You lied to us! You lied Ollivander!"
"NO! I beg you! No!" There came a series of screams. Dean stayed where he was. Everything was uncertain now. "The boy knows! Your son knows! H-he took Dumbledore's wand! He has control over it!" Dean glanced quickly towards Draco.
"Bring him! Lenny!" Dean stayed behind the door. It was now or never. The footsteps matched Dean's heartbeat, thud, thud, thud... Dean raised the plank high up in the air. Draco moved off the bed, the quilt from his own bed was wound into a thin strap.
Lenny opened the door. Everything happened all at once, Dean brought down the plank of wood on Lenny's skull, Draco leapt on Lenny's head, using the strip of bedding as a rope, he tied it round Lenny's neck, Dean carried on whacking Lenny's head, blood splattered everywhere. All the while Draco kept his grip on Lenny's neck, he tried not to imagine what the man's face looked like.
The shuddering stopped and Dean finally stopped whacking Lenny's skull. The man's blood was everywhere. They didn't have time to admire their work. "LENNY!" Lucius's voice rang loudly, the man was clearly annoyed. Dean and Draco looked at each other.
"Grab his wand and put his robe on!" Draco ordered. Dean quickly tore the blood soaked robes off the dead man's body; the wand was easy to find it was attached to his belt along with a large purse. Dean stuffed that in the robe pocket and grabbed Draco's arm. "Follow my lead." Draco muttered to him.
Dean swallowed hard as he dragged/took Draco down the flight of cramped stairs. He could feel the blood soaking into his clothes, he felt queasy at the thought that he was wearing a robe that belonged to a man he had just killed. With the help of Draco. They went into a large parlour where they were met with several other Death Eaters. Lucius had his back turned from them, his body facing the fire. Ollivander was on the floor, he was completely shaken. "Draco. This man says that you know how to master the Elder Wand."
"I already have a wand." Draco replied calmly. "I don't need another one. Let alone master a wand I have never heard about." Dean kept his head down the moment Lucius's back turned.
"You have never heard about the Elder Wand? Never?" Lucius's face was face to face with Draco's. They shared the same Malfoy eyes. They looked alike yet they were complete opposites. "Are you sure Draco?"
Draco paused. "Beedle and Bard?" He asked. "The fairytale book?"
"Yes!" Lucius clapped. "Yes!" Draco stared at Ollivander who was fighting the urge to faint. "Did you defeat Dumbledore?"
"No. Snape did." Draco replied slowly. "Snape duelled him, Snape defeated him." Lucius let out a strange noise that resembled a dog's bark.
"Crucio." Draco waited for the pain but instead he saw Ollivander twirl and groan under the torture curse. "Send a message to Snape!" He yelled. "Get him here!" A man nodded and Disapparated into nothing; leaving five death eaters in the room with Draco and Dean.
Draco stood immobile; he couldn't see if Dean was ok, all he could do was watch Ollivander wet himself under the fear and pain of this torture.
Dean swallowed hard as he carefully eyed up each Death Eater, among this lot was Narcissa. But which one she was he couldn't tell. They were all wearing hoods. "Now as we wait for Snape. Draco, will you join us or must I kill you and your friend?" The boys simultaneously tensed up.
"You should know the answer by now." Draco replied. He kept his stand as his father threw back his head and laughed like a witch.
"Are you sure about that? You could save your dearest mama!" Draco watched as the man called his father grabbed a Death Eater close to Dean. Lucius pressed his wand against his wife's body. "Time to decide! I'm done waiting!"
Dean grabbed Lenny's wand slowly pointed it carefully towards Lucius. "Expelliarmus!" Lucius's wand flew out into the air and landed at Dean's feet. Silence reined the room as they watched Lucius to the wand to Dean.
Draco punched his father sending him backwards. "Stupefy!" A shrill voice rang out. Draco dodged the spell and charged towards the window with Dean using a shield charm to block the spells.
"GET HIM!" Draco grabbed a chair and flung it across the window. Dean passed him his wand.
"Sorry Lucius." Draco smirked. "You can't catch me." And with that he leapt outside the window. He ignored the sharp pain in his left arm, his hands grazed against the broken shards. Dean followed him, the shield charm still up.
"Run." Dean said. "We've got a bunch of angry stunned Death Eaters who are going to be pretty pissed when they come round." He noticed Draco's pained expression. "You ok?"
Draco turned to Dean. "We're free. C'mon." They dashed down the street the fresh air filled their lungs with each sharp intake, adrenaline pumped through their legs. They paused for a small breath by a park a mile away.
"Where to?" Dean asked. Draco thought to where Hermione would be. "London." Dean raised an eyebrow.
"We'll never make it through the Leaky Cauldron before they attack us."
"Where do your folks live?" Draco asked. Dean looked around the park.
"Well, where the hell are we?"
"Near Epson. Two hours from London." Draco took off his cloak and let out a small moan, the grey shirt he had been wearing was a damp colour on the left sleeve. "Great." He let out a moan as he yanked out the shard of glass causing the problem. He felt the blood seep out even more.
"They live in Leeds, up in the North." Dean said sheepishly. Draco let out a soft moan.
"If we had a broom we'd be there in less than a few hours." He sat down on the curb. "Tell you what, we'll go to London, grab ourselves some brooms and head to your parents place."
Seems like a decent plan. Dean nodded. "Let's go. Quickly!" Draco pulled his cloak back on and the pair carried on running.
Instead of running on the street like before, they took the path that led down the park and into a back alley that in turn led to a large field, they carried on running, despite the sweat and the blisters they got and despite the stitches they carried on running.
It was towards the early dawn that they stopped to sleep. They had reached a small ditch shielded by a very large bridge. It was murky and cold but they managed thanks to magic. "Shame I can't use my wand to bring us some food." Draco said as they sat down.
Dean laid his head weakly on the ground. They had just been running and despite the bread they had saved they needed to keep on saving it. They had drunk water from the streams but it just made them realize how hungry they both were. They managed to find some berries but not many and not enough to stop the hunger. They had been on the run for several days now and their bodies were on the verge of exhaustion. As Draco tried to snuggle in the ditch thanks to the small blanket they had stolen from a farm. He ignored the blisters on his feet that were throbbing and the pain in his arm.
It was still dark when Draco woke up to something pointy in his neck. "Dean." He moaned his eyes still firmly shut. The sharp object poked him again. "Dean." He turned but found that he had fallen onto something hard. This woke him up. He opened his eyes and found himself looking into a pair of sharp gleaming green eyes. "You're not Dean." Draco said slowly.
Yes Dean and Draco has escaped the clutches of Lucius! Seeing as it's a Christmas Chapter the poll is now closed and results will be in the new year along with a new poll ^^
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!
