"Will you follow me to destroy those who have wronged all of us? We will slaughter them all in the name of our Lord. Now pledge your wands to me as you did to him years ago. Swear your loyalty to me and I will give you your freedom once again." Bellatrix yelled at the top of the Azkaban with Lucien standing by her side. Her laugh spread through the walls of the prison echoing into the night. Half of the walls were broken and thunders stroke around the island reflecting the full image of Bellatrix insanity. Every deatheater that was out stared at her and her big eyes stared back at them as she pointed to Lucien to bring someone out. Lucien rolled his eyes and brought out a middle-aged man with long silver her.

"Before you I bring the traitor, Lucius Malfoy." She screamed as she glared at her brother-in-low. His eyes spread in terror as he saw her. She was supposed to be dead. And yet here she is, right in front of his eyes. "He defected the battle of Hogwarts and let our Lord to die. His wife saved the boy who killed him. And his son is on the side of the Order now." She ran down to him getting her face inch away from his. "You were always a worthless worm. And you turned my sister into one too." Her words were quiet and she talked slowly. Lucius still looked at her.

"How... how are you here?" he managed to pronounce.

"To complicated to explain in vain. It's not like you'll live to tell the tale." Lucien tightened the grip on Malfoy's hair.

"Bellatrix..." he tried to scream her name but was not able to. She turned to him again and when their eyes met he knew exactly what she was going to do. And not just to him. "Don't-"

"Avada Kedavra!"

It was over. Empty eyes stared at the raging sky and it was all over. Bellatrix stared at her victim with a sadistic glee. She then ran back at the spot she used to yell from before.

"You can join me or end up like a traitor." She hissed. The first one to apparate in front of her was no other but Antonin Dolohov. He knelt down and she pointed her hand for him to get up and he came to stand behind her. After him there came Yaxley, then Alecto Carrow. There they were standing three surviving deatheaters and their new leader. The others just kept coming after one another and Lucien's smirk widen as he watched them. The only thing possible to hear through the storm was Bellatrix and her laugh.

It's been almost three weeks and there still couldn't get a single clue on where is Deucalion. They kept searching and nothing. There was one more thing left to do. The group was preparing to go to Beacon Hills. Stiles, Lydia, Ginny, Luna and Blaise. Group of five. All of them were in the Slytherin common room. Rebekah offered Ginny a glass of whisky that Ginny declined, so she drank it instead. Soon the Golden trio joined them.

"Ok guys, I need all of you to come back ok?" Harry was really nervous.

"They are going to be fine, Harry." Ron assured him and then hugged his sister.

"Zabini, don't forget to practice the Patronus charm. Ginny make sure he does." Harry hugged both Ginny and Luna, and gave another strict glance to Blaise. For the last three weeks Ginny was teaching Blaise and Draco how to cast a Patronus. Well she was teaching Blaise since Draco came there just once and said that it was stupid and that he wouldn't do it. Blaise was getting better at it. He is really close to casting a full-body patronus.

"Take care, guys. I'm going to miss you." Hermione hugged her friends. And she shook Blaise's hand which Harry and Ron did after her. In next ten minutes Draco came too.

"Try to come back, Zabini or I'm trapped here, alone." Draco smirked and his friend laughed.

"Oh don't worry about me so much." Blaise rolled his eyes in amusement. Draco then turned to Ginny and Luna.

"Weaslette. Loony. Safe trip." He bowed mockingly and sat down. Ginny ignored him and Luna smiled.

"Well time to go." Stiles got up from his seat and he put his arm around Lydia's shoulders. She smiled at him and two of them waved goodbye and left. The rest three followed right behind. They walked out of the castle and went into the woods.

"You need to prepare yourself for apparition. It will make you dizzy and sick and you might even get an injury. So at least prepare your mind for it." Ginny explained. "One of you will go with Blaise since he is really good at this and the other one will go with me and Luna."

Three girls were the first to leave. Stiles on the other hand fainted before they could leave. Blaise manage to wake him up after few moments.

"I just really can't stand this." Stiles felt sick again.

"Hell, no. We have to go Stiles stay with me." Blaise slapped him so that he could stay awake. Stiles took a deep breath looking at the sky.

"That's kind of morbid." He said staring at the black raven flying towards castle. Blaise ignored it and used a chance to apparate. And so they were gone too.

Not long after they left Hermione found her way to the library. She had some alone time and she planned on using it right. She took her muggle book. It had Dostoyevsky written on its top. She opened it and continued reading. She had few minutes of silence when the black bird rushed through the window breaking the glass. It just fell on the ground with a piece of glass stabbed deep into its flesh. Hermione felt nauseous watching the scene. It wasn't until she got up that she noticed that the bird was carrying something. She untied the little letter that was around bird's leg. She then realized that there was a phial tied to the letter. The moment she opened the letter her face lost all its color. Gripping the phial strong in her hand Hermione ran out of library and went straight to the dungeons.

"Where is Malfoy?" She asked before even looking who was in the Slytherin common room. There were Rebekah, Katherine and Kol, drinking. Shocker. All of them turned to her.

"Last I saw him he went to find Bonnie so he can practice with her." Kol said refilling his glass. "Care to join us?" he smiled. But she didn't even notice any of that and she left. "Well that was rude." Kol nagged.

Hermione kept running around looking for Draco and she finally found him in the Great Hall with Bonnie, Davina and Kai. He was trying his best to get a grip on this new magic thing he was practicing but it just wasn't going so well. Davina was the first one to spot her.

"Hermione," she smiled but it faded the moment she saw Hermione's face. "What's wrong?" The rest of them turned around to see her.

"I'm sorry, no time to explain now Davina. Malfoy, can I talk to you?" Draco stared at her with shock. What could she possibly want to talk about with him? He put on his emotionless mask and just flatly answered with another question.

"What do you want, Granger?"

"I want to talk to you so get up and get out." She hissed through her teeth and he felt like hexing her out but when he looked at her longer he was able to see fear deep in her eyes. He got up with a concern look and went over to her. "What is wrong?"

She took in a deep breath and both of them left the room. The moment they were alone she turned towards him handing him the letter. He took it with a confused expression and started to read. He clenched his jaw and his eyes darkened.

"Where did you get this?" he said quietly through his teeth.

"Black raven break through the window in the library. Piece of glass stuck in it and it's dead up there. Letter was tied around bird's leg. Alongside this." She handed him the phial. He looked at it. There was no inscription on it so it probably wasn't a potion. "I think those are memories." She continued when he just kept staring at it.

"Did you watch it?"

"No."

"Let's go then." He turned and she just stood behind. "What are you waiting for, Granger?"

"It's sent for you and I am pretty sure I shouldn't see it." She said firmly.

"You found it so you're coming with me and I'll watch it." He rolled his eyes and walked on. Few seconds later Hermione went after him.

"That was really evil." Stiles said after he was done throwing up. Blaise laughed as Stiles came closer.

"Oh come on. Stop complaining it wasn't that bad. And we have to find the girls." Both of them walked through the woods they landed in. It was a very familiar one to Stiles. He looked around trying to find out where exactly are they compared to Derek's house. The painful cry got them running and before they knew it the found Ginny, Luna and Lydia who was covered in blood. Stiles ran down to her.

"She got it while we apparated. She couldn't handle it." Ginny explained while getting out some potion out of her bag. Stiles looked for the source of bleeding when he saw a big cut over her abdomen. At the sight of the bleeding wound he almost fainted but he somehow managed to held up and take her hand.

"Hold her. This I going to sting." Ginny said as she opened the bottle of Dittany. She started to pour it over Lydia's cut and the grip she made on Stiles's hand almost broke his bones. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she bit her lips trying not to yell.

"Lydia, stay with me. You're going to be ok, it's almost over." He glanced at the wound that looked like it was put on fire. It was literally smoking. He felt his eyes shut, but he shook his head before turning to Lydia again. Her eyes were closed as she sobbed in pain. It was finally over but that didn't mean that pain was gone or that it will be gone any time soon.

"We need to find your friend really fast so that we can make her some healing potions." Ginny said getting up and stepping away from them. "We will try to find his house and you just make sure she walks slowly." She then turned and gave Luna and Blaise a sing to leave. Three of them left and Stiles just kept staring at Lydia holding her hand like he was never planning to leave it. She opened her eyes. Everything hurt but somehow she tried to lift up. Stiles helped her leaning her on his chest as he sat down next to her. He caressed her cheek brushing of her tears. In a blink of an eye their lips collided. A simple kiss making both of them feel like the world around them stopped. As they parted she placed her head on his chest and closed her eyes and his arms wrapped around her bringing her closer.

"You didn't faint." She said.

"And leave you? No way." He smiled as he planted a kiss on top of her head.

"Time to get in, Stiles." A familiar male voice appeared form behind and Stiles turned his head to see the tall, dark posture with glowing blue eyes belonging to none other than Derek Hale.

Draco raised his head from the Pensieve. He kept staring into the water as black strings rose up and filled the phial again. He swallowed his gasp struggling to focus on even standing on his feet. Managing to find last piece of strength in himself he moved away from the Pensieve to sit down on the steps in the Headmaster's chamber. Hermione looked at him with caution. The water was starting to dry on his face and Hermione came closer to him trying not to make too much sound.

"Malfoy?" Nothing. He just stared blankly at the floor. Hermione knelt in front of him trying to meet his gaze. There was no emotion on his face and he looked through her.

"Malfoy?" she tried again. And he lifted his head up to look at her. He blinked few times fast and just kept looking at her. "What did you see?" she asked slowly like she was talking to a toddler.

"Memories." He finally managed to say. It was low voice and barely perceptible. He started biting his lower lip and tapping his leg against the floor. "Bellatrix's memories."

Hermione felt shivers come down her spine, and her face change in an instant second. Draco didn't notice it at all. He just stared blankly in her eyes. His eyes were wide and empty and looked really beautiful under the candle light in the darkened room. Hermione didn't know what to do or what Draco saw.

"Malfoy, what did you see?" she asked again and he just kept biting his lip and tapping his leg. She moved closer to him and placed her hand over his. "Draco, what did you see?" she said gently. Her hand held a grip on his as he tried to find the words.

"She killed my father. He is dead. I saw her memories from few nights ago. He is dead and she is coming for my mum." He said not removing his eyes from her even once. She didn't know what to say. Her eyes were filled with horror as she watched him looking like this. She lifted up to her knees and let her arms find the way around his shoulders. "I'm sorry." was all she said.

Draco didn't feel a single thing at the moment. He didn't think he didn't breathe. He just stayed the same position he was until Hermione pulled back looking at him with concern. "How are you feeling?"

"Fucking amazing." He said flatly before shaking his head a bit. "You can look at it if you want. Everyone has to see it anyways. You might as well be the first."

Hermione got up and slowly walked over to the Pensieve. When she saw it she lifted her head up fast and took a few deep breaths. When she turned around she saw Draco still in the same place with the same look on his face. His father was strict, cruel and never really showed that he cared about him, but he was still his father. And it was bloody hard. Hermione find her way next to him and sat down.

"I am sorry." She said once again.

"You didn't do anything, so there is no need to apologize."

"It wasn't an apology."

There were sitting in silence now. Draco didn't feel like leaving and Hermione didn't want to leave him alone. So they just stayed there until at some point Draco spoke.

"Thank you."
