Chapter 10:
- Normal POV –
Severus quickly reached his room in the dungeons and threw some floo powder into the fireplace. He reached the Malfoy Manor shortly, stepping out gracefully and raised an eyebrow at Lucius Malfoy who was currently reading a book on a couch.
"Relaxing?" Severus asked Lucius with a smirk on his face. It was not every day that one saw a Malfoy letting his guard down, being so relaxed.
Lucius shot out of his seat when he heard Severus's voice and quickly regained his composure.
"My lord," Lucius said, bowing slightly, raising an eyebrow, curious of the reason behind Severus's trip.
Severus nodded and sat down when Lucius hurriedly invited him to. He sighed and looked at Lucius, aware of the bad news he was about to break would cause Lucius to react badly, so he decided to have a calming draught on hand, just in case. After all, it would be bad if Lucius stormed into Hogwarts now and revealed everything they had worked hard to protect in a fit of anger.
"I'm afraid I'm not on a social visit today. I am here to bring you some bad news. I am sorry to say that your son, Draco has been knocked down by Ron Weasley during flying lessons. I cannot pry into his mind for information currently as he is protected by Dumbledore and to pry in would take sufficient effort to let Dumbledore notice what I am doing and suspect my motives. But I promise you we would get revenge," Severus said to the man who was looking angrier by the second.
If Lucius was not a Malfoy, Severus would have bet that he would run out charging to Hogwarts immediately. Severus sighed and handed the potion he had in his hands to Lucius, who looked at it, raising an eyebrow. "Calming draught," he said with a drawl and nodded when Lucius downed it in seconds.
"Remember, there is nothing much we can do now but make their lives hell but the real revenge has to be pushed back. I do not want you to go ruining all the things we have done so far just because you do not feel happy," Severus said, reminding Lucius with a hint of threat in it.
Lucius nodded , having a pretty bad feeling now. It must be pretty terrible for Severus to threaten him in this way as Severus did not usually do that. It was Voldemort's job to do that while Severus just sat there and looked calm.
"Draco is in the hospital wing now," Severus said, composed, bracing himself for that shout that was sure to come.
Just as he thought, Lucius did not fail to disappoint him. He kicked out a big fuss before one glare from Severus shut him up and wear back the Malfoy mask that he had promptly abandoned in favour of complaining.
Severus sighed and dragged Lucius to the fireplace and flooed both of them back to Hogwarts. There were some issues that they needed to take care of.
Severus and Lucius walked swiftly and angrily down the corridors of Hogwarts, towards the hospital wing, where Draco is situated. They calmed down slightly when they noticed their sons lying on the bed, next to each other, looking better than they were when Severus first left Hogwarts to find Lucius.
Madam Pomfrey then bustled over. "Draco is alright for now. He has one broken leg and arm but it is nothing serious and he is well on his way to recovery. However, you were lucky that he was brought here on time or he would have a pronounced limp forever if it was just a little later. I don't get why Mr Weasley would do such a thing," she muttered and trailed off, looking quite angry.
In the short time Draco and Harry had been in the hospital wing, both of them have already captured her heart and made her sympathize with them. They were both from the house of Slytherin which makes them a perfect target for Gryffindor attacks since Gryffindor do not think twice before acting.
Also, Dumbledore do not seem to want to do anything about this kind of things which makes her pity the two boys even more. Madam Pomfrey could sense the deep bond between the two boys and their unwillingness to leave one another, so she decided to combine their beds together and allow them to rest without any interruptions.
Severus and Lucius looked at each other and raised their eyebrow when they noticed her anger with Ron Weasley. This was a matter worth looking into as they have always thought she was with the head master. If not, she could be a valuable asset to the dark side with her skills in healing.
They nodded at her, waiting for her to finish her diagnosis of Draco and left heading to the head master's office. Severus then muttered the password and both of them stepped into the office. Their eyes flashed red with anger when they noticed that Ron Weasley was in the room with the
headmaster and was apparently, getting praised for what he was doing.
"What is going on here?" Lucius asked, angry.
To be continued…
Sorry for late reply. I am writing this when there are 5 tests the next week so I would like to say, I tried my best! This is just a chapter of random drabble cause I am experiencing some writer's block!
I would like to clear up some stuff to make this story much, much clearer cause some of you are quite confused about the things.
Firstly, Severus Snape is known as Alexander Smith but for convenience sake and so as to ensure that everyone knows who I am referring to, he will be known as Severus Snape unless Dumbledore calls him. Lucius wears a glamour when he appears as Samuel Jones but as everyone knows that Lucius is the father of Draco, there is no need for him to wear the glamour.
Review and make my day!
