Sorry this is another short chapter. This was necessary before the big battle. I promise George will be back soon. I don't own Harry Potter
Chapter 25 What's Going On?
Ever since the Harry mishap, my father has taken me to these places. It wasn't until one night we got a signal that Harry was at the manor. We left immediately and when we got there Harry had escaped. My father was so furious, but I calmed him down and he put the Malfoys under house arrest. He then turned to me and asked me to go to Hogwarts with him. We flew to the school together and we were met by Snape. "Severus, show my daughter the new Hogwarts, I have something to do." I looked at him wondering why he would make me come if he wasn't going to be with me. Snape nodded and took my arm. We walked through the school and I just couldn't believe my eyes. Kids from every house except Slytherin completely injured. "My Lady it is an honor." I looked at the Carrows. How did I not see this. I acknowledged them and turned to Snape. "Severus bring me to the Headmaster's office. There is something we must discuss." He nodded and I turned to the Carows. "Now off with you." They bowed again and went off.
We go to the Head Masters office. "So is the sword in their possession?" Snape looked at me. "Yes." I sighed. "Good. At least they have some defenses against his possessions." I looked at Dumbledores portrait. He was sleeping, making me wish he was just that. Sleeping and not in a marble coffin dead. "You think they will succeed?" Snape asked me. "I believe they will, but that's just because I don't want to be on this side anymore." I looked out of the window of the office and saw a red flash. "Isn't that where Dumbledore is buried?" Snape looked and did not seemed pleased. "This is bad." Was all Snape said until there was a knock on the door. "My Lady your father calls you." I nodded and walked out of the room. When I got to him he seemed happier than I've ever seen him yet. "I've got it." I looked at him. "Got what?" He smiled and showed me Dumbledore's wand. "The wand that will help me finally destroy the boy. Now lets go back to the manor." I nodded and we flew off.
Things seemed well for a few weeks. My father constantly practiced with his wand and nothing seemed wrong. Well until my father came into my room taking my hand and Disapperating to Gringotts. We got there and they told my father the Lestrange's vault was broken into by Harry. In a rage my father started killing everyone. "FATHER!" I screamed he looked at me pointing the wand at me. He looked at me and calmed down. "Go back to the manor." I hesitated. "NOW!" I nodded and disapperated, but before I did I saw the sword of Gryffindor in the hands of a Goblin that lay dead on the floor. Once home I sent a message to Fred and Molly. Both warning them and not to reply back to me. I thought about the sword and wondered how Harry and them lost it to him. Something now was going to happen and they don't have the sword to destroy my father's souls. I then thought of Draco and I rushed downstairs and saw the Malfoys talking amongst themselves. I pointed at Draco and ushered him to follow me. I brought him to my room. "Draco whatever is going to happen I want you to stay safe." He looked at me "Safe, I thought you-" "I never stopped caring for you. If I did my father would've killed you already." He nodded. "Don't speak of this with anyone." He left my room and I waited for my father's return.
I thought about Harry and knew he'd be on his way to Hogsmead. I just stayed in my room hoping Aberforth finds him. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I turned and saw Cissy. She seemed distraught. "What is it?" "I know my cousin. She was not someone who would do things for the Dark Lord, and yet you do. There has to be something you're behind." I looked at her. "Just thank that I do have a power to keep my father from killing people if I wanted to." She seemed shocked and left the room. A few hours went by and then another knock on the door. I opened it. "War." Was all Draco said before I grabbed my wand and grabbing him by the arm Disapperating.
We were on a hillside just as my father finished his speech and Snape was there. I looked at him and looked at the protected school. "What is going on? Draco came to me and all he said was-" "War, my darling, war. It has come down to this." I looked at Hogwarts and sadness seemed to take over. The minutes passed and suddenly my father said "Begin." and everyone started casting spells at the defense of Hogwarts. Once gone it began.
