Chapter 28
Draco had the hairs and the small cauldron and Kila had the candles and the sulphuric weed root needed for the potion. The cloak covered them so none of the teachers or the remaining students could see them or follow them. It was hard and slow moving under the cloak and it slipped down once and Kila s feet were revealed but luckily for them nobody was around to see it. When they reached the forest they decided they had better go in it a little for the trees would shield them from view of the lit up castle behind them. The ground was wet and muddy from the rain the net before and she white she hadn't worn her white trainers. They stopped after walking for 10 minutes Draco saying it was dangerous.
"But when I came in following you I didn't see anything that looked dangerous" Kila said.
"Well I could sense the dangerous things and I stayed away from them to keep you safe" Draco said.
"Oh that was nice"
"I only did that so I could kill you myself"
"Well at least I'm still alive," She said weakly. The little clearing was dark but the candles once lit would give them enough light to work by. She started to lie out the candles around the empty cauldron and as she went Draco lit them with matches. Kila had read somewhere that some very powerful vampires could make fire at will and she wondered if Draco would be able to do that one day. She supposed he could already fly. When the candles were all lit she sat down cross-legged on the floor, the cauldron in front of her and made a fire with her wand on the wood underneath the wood. She uncorked the bottle of sulphuric weed root she had taken from the student store cupboard and poured in the whole thing so as not to waste any. When the weed root had warmed up Draco added the hairs from Xander's head insisting they were most defiantly his and not Crabbe or Goyle's. The mixture turned black like the hair and let off choking black smoke.
"Do you have the knife?" Kila asked. Draco slipped a knife out of his pocket and handed it to Kila. It looked like it was made of silver with the handle encrusted with rubies and engraved with Draco's full name. Draco Edward Malfoy. Kila laughed not because the name was funny it was because Draco had never mentioned anything about his middle name and she didn't think it had even existed.
"Its not funny. Don't you dare tell anyone" Draco snarled.
"I know its not funny its just that you never told me you had a middle name. I think it suits you. Really" She said when he gave her a nasty look." Lets just got on with this"
She handed him back the knife and he stared at her his eyebrows raised.
"What" She said," You don't want me to do it"
"I thought you make like to seeing as though I made you hysteric" He said. She snorted.
"You didn't make me hysterical. I had never had to deal with anything like that before of course"
"Whatever just make the cut" He said and handed her back the knife and held out his hand. She hesitated for a moment thinking about the pain it might cause him and then slashed the knife across his palm while he gasped in pain softly. The blood dripped from the cut instantly and it glistened on the floor. Draco held his hand over the boiling weed root and as soon as the blood hit the mixture it hissed loudly and let off blood red thick sickly smelling smoke. Draco sat quietly concentrating on healing his hand while Kila said the spell 3 times calmly and slowly. She didn't feel calm inside for in a few seconds she would be with two bloodthirsty vampires in the forbidden forest. A small part didn't trust Draco but would he come through for Dumbledore in the end and stay faithful to him? She honestly didn't know.
As she finished saying the magical words there was a swirl of grey smoke and a blast of air and then Xander was sat on the floor breathing heavily his fangs long and his eyes wild. He immedaitly jumped at Kila knocking her backwards on to the floor. Draco jumped up and pulled off Xander and punched him in the face. Xander fell to the floor his lip bleeding and he lapped up the blood.
"How did you do it? How did you bring me here?" he demanded.
"The call" Kila said as Draco helped her up from the floor.
"But the blood."
"Your blood is in me. The hairs I got from your bed" Draco explained.
"You called me to talk about Dumbledore. He is heavily guarded and you cannot get to him. There will be nothing left but a frail old man when me and my father have finished with him."
"Well yes I did want to speak to you about Dumbledore and I wanted to torture you until I found this" Draco pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket" From your records. I learnt that the only reason they let you into this school is because your mother was human"
"What?! That isn't true!" Shouted Xander jumping up and snatching the paper from Draco. He scanned the paper and then his mouth hung open showing more of his sharp teeth.
"No..no this cant be possible" he stuttered.
"I take it daddy dearest didn't tell you about your human family?" Asked Draco. Xander was shaking his head franticly denying the truth to himself. The look in Xander's eyes and his fangs made her think that there couldn't possible be any human in him what so ever. Maybe Draco was making it up. Xander seemed to be thinking along the same lines as she was.
"My father he would have.he would have told me about this if it were true. Your lying and now I will kill you and her"
"If I was lying why does your heart faintly beat?" Draco asked and that made Xander stop shaking." Mine does not beat for I am not human for you only gave me your vampire blood not your human blood for I was already human and my body had no use for it"
Xander thought about this.
"He will pay. My father will pay for not telling me the truth. He is after Dumbledore's power and if he gets it we are all dead. My human family will be dead. I will ask him about my mother make him tell me who she is and-"
He was cut off for he had disappeared in the whirl of smoke like the smoke he had arrived with.
"What happened to him?" Kila asked once the smoke had cleared.
"I think daddy dearest called to him"
