"Lumos" Harry's thought spell

Intentions Are Not Always Good

Pansy knelt down beside him until their eyes were level. Harry noticed her eyes were glinting madly and he couldn't help the tremor that wracked his body.
"I suppose you want to know why I'm doing this."
"The thought did occur to me, for a brief moment." Harry said, "And how you got Eddie involved."
"Easy actually. Eddie's parents were Death Eaters. He wasn't quite ready to follow in their footsteps...until The Dark Lord brought his sister before Him. She was a squib, you see, and He ordered Eddie's father to kill her to prove his allegiance. Mr Carmichael balked, of course. So He told Eddie's mother to kill the both of them. She refused him as well. Eddie offered to do it in their stead but the Dark Lord refused, offering the job to Lucius instead. Lucius didn't hesitate of course and Eddie vowed to get revenge on Lucius for taking what should have been his Rite of Passage to the Dark. Lucius went into hiding before Eddie got the chance. So Eddie came to me and asked for my help. I had my own plans for revenge on The Malfoys – Draco, for one, and Narcissa especially, since it was she who canceled the marriage contract between our two families, at Draco's request. She should have realized then that it is very unwise to refuse a Parkinson." Her voice took on a darker and dreamy edge and she reached out to stroke Harry's hair. It made his skin crawl and he resisted the urge to flinch. "I killed her, you know. Lured her out of Malfoy Manor and pushed her off the cliffs behind them. And I couldn't have Eddie messing up my plans so I killed him too. Since I was already a wanted criminal, it was easy to use him for Polyjuice ingredients."
"How long?"
"Since term started."
"You won't get away with this, you know. People will be looking for me."
"Your precious Draco, I assume? I'm counting on it, Potter." And with that, she grabbed his face between her hands and forcefully kissed him. He felt himself gag when her tongue shoved its way into his mouth and in a fit of rage, he bit down hard on the offending muscle. Pansy screeched in pain and pulled back sharply. He was pleased to note he had done some damage, if the blood oozing from her lips was any indication. She retaliated by slapping him hard, knocking his glasses off his face, her sharp nails leaving furrows in his cheek.
"Bastard!"
"Bitch!" he replied in kind. She spat in his face, turning to leave the room.
"You can fucking rot for all I care, Potter! By the end of tonight, Draco will be dead and you will take the blame for it!" And with that parting shot, she was gone.
Shite! Harry exclaimed. He'd forgotten Pansy had access to Polyjuice. She must have stolen some loose strands when she was petting my head like some bloody pet! He could only pray to any God or Goddess listening that his dad had the wards on their rooms tuned into his magical signature. He tried, once more, to use his magic to set himself free and once again nothing happened. He looked closely at the bands and noticed the Runes of Suppression straight off.
Good thing Remus had me read those Ancient Runes books. Now to figure out which one she used. There is at least fifteen hundred of them to go through. I'll just start with the A's and work my way up.
He began the arduous task of trying to set himself free. His Draco was in serious danger.

Sorry this chapter is a short one. I'm building up the suspense and anticipation. Can you see my evil grin?
