Chapter 3 : Codra Lamyof Fatalis

--------------------------------------

"Draco, what do you add to the Draught of Living Death to turn it into the Draught of Awakening?" Pansy was asking.

"Draught of Awakening? Honestly Pansy, don't you pay attention during classes?" Malfoy snapped back.

"Please, Malfoy, puh-lease?"

"Okay, I give up. You add a ---"

"Forget it, Malfoy."

The cold voice of Professor Snape was heard.

"Don't disclose the secrets of potion-making to somebody who doesn't listen in classes."

"Yes, Professor Snape."

"But it's okay with Pansy, since she's in Slytherin."

"Yes Professor. Anyway Pansy, you'll have to add ground lungwort and the roots of a rose plant, soaked in a mixture of ground bezoar and boiling water."

Snape left the common room and started down the stairs.

"Thanks Malfoy." Pansy said. "Anyway, were you born with a birthmark?"

"No, Pansy, I don't have any."

"But if that's the case, what's that silverish mark on your arm?"

"Huh? Hey, there is a mark! What is this thing? It looks like a snake. Perhaps I'm taking after my father. Maybe it's part of the Dark Mark!"

"Dark Mark? It doesn't look so... but never mind. Anyway Malfoy, want to come to the library with me? I'm meeting my friends."

"Okay, so long as we don't meet with that mudblood Hermione."

The Brothers of Fate are predestined to meet in a academy of magickal and occult studies, as is stated in the Book of Fate. The brothers, Ryhar Topret Fatalis and Codra Lamyof Fatalis, bear the Mark of Fatalus. Ryhar bears a stag while Codra bears a snake.

The mark of Fatalus is silver in colour. The brothers shall discover their link in their 15th year.

"Look at this, Malfoy." Pansy leant over to Draco.

She pointed at the paragraph she was reading, and said, "That silver mark on your arm. could it be related to this in anyway?"

"Me? One of the Brothers of Fate? Rubbish, absolutely. Forget it Pansy, who'll be my brother of Fate then? Crabbe? Goyle?" came the cold reply from Draco.

Suddenly, Draco noticed something.

"Wait a minute. Don't tell me that this rubbish states that my Brother of Fate is. Harry?"
