Darkness and quietness surrounded
me, nothing was beneath my feet to support me, and I was floating in mid air.
But I was not afraid, I was ready to face whatever that was going to happen to
me, I deserve it, after all. I waited and waited for something horrible to
happen, I did not know what was I expecting, a dementor to suck out my soul? A
jet of green light to end my live? Then in the dark I saw something green
moving slowly towards me, as it drew closer, I could make out what it is. It
worse than a dementor or a jet of green light, it was, it was…him…
He
stop five feet in front of me, his emerald green eyes stared straight into my
blue ones. I wanted more than anything to look away from them, but I couldn't,
as though they had hypnotized me. I stared back in to them, however, I saw not
hatred, as I expected. But instead, I saw forgiveness, though I could never
forgive myself.
"Draco,"
he said in soft and far-away voice, he had never addressed me in my first name
before, "A heart full of faith would make a wish come true." I was confused, why
would he come just to tell me that? " I'm not dead, because of you. Help me…"
But you are dead, I tried to tell him that but my throat wouldn't allow me. He
started to move away, "A heart full of faith would make a wish come true. A
heart full of faith…" He repeated it over and over again until his image and
his voice disappeared in the darkness. Suddenly the darkness vanished, bright
light shone through my eyelids.
I
slowly open my eyes and found myself in the hospital wing. I closed my eyes
again and tried to recall what had happened, "A heart full of faith would make
a wish come true…" his voice echoed in my mind.
After
a great deal of fusses about how I shouldn't have stayed in the rain, Madam
Pomfrey finally agreed to let me go. I walked toward the back of Hagrids cabin,
where his grave lay. I paused at pumpkin patch, to see his friends sulking at
his grave. I watched them leave, they maybe painful, but at least none of them
feel guilty. I sighed and quietly approached his grave. There were lots of
thing I want to say, but all that came out was "What can I do? It's too late,
I, I killed y…" I stop abruptly as a beautiful red bird landed on his
gravestone. It raised its head and started to sing, the sound was soft and
lovely, it gave me hope and faith…
"
I'm not dead, because of you. Help me…""A heart full of faith would make a wish
come true." I wish, I wish time could fly back awards and I could have said no
to father… but it is impossible…of course, I was being stupid, you are dead and
there is nothing I can do. Yet, yet the phoenix song told me that there is.
Why
was I such a coward, why couldn't I have said no to my father, why was afraid
of dying myself…Then it hit me. I held on to the phoenix's tail, with a blur of
scarlet and gold, I was transferred into a dark room. The Dark Lord sat in an
armchair, his red eyes widened, as he looked me, I shuddered. The phoenix began
to sing once more, filling my heart with faith.
"I
came to seek revenge for Harry Potter." I said, "Let's duel." I stared firmly
into those cold eyes.
"Duel?"
he laughed mirthlessly "but it is you killed him. And I shall just kill you for
your disloyalty."
"Go
ahead, then." I said as the phoenix song became more beautiful than ever. , I
felt a sharp, horrible pain struck my forehead, I saw a flash of green lights
through my closed eyes, and the cold, cruel, and high-pitched laughter rang in
my ears.
Then,
I sat alone in the Slytherin common room, the room was quite, except for the
steady snores that came from the boy's dormitory. Around midnight, the fire in
the fireplace suddenly turned emerald green, father's face popped out of
nowhere.
"Son,"
he said, though he rarely called me son, "tomorrow, provoke Potter, and trick
him into going to the forbidden forest at midnight, understand?"
"No!"
I said sharply.
"Do
it!" he snarled, "It's his life or yours!" he threatened.
"Take
mine then!" I bellowed.
With
another blur of scarlet and gold, I found my self in the back of Hagrid's
cabin. There, where his grave had been, stood a skinny boy with messy black
hair and a pair of emerald green eyes full of forgiveness, the pair of eye that
I would never forget. I smiled for perhaps the first time of my entire life,
through my tear blurred vision, I saw him smiling back…
