Taming of a Dragon

Chapter Eight:



The night was dark and cold. The rain that had threatened the earth earlier that day had held off, but now it seemed to be coming with full force. Lightening crashed though the night sky giving the area an eery blue ting to it for a matter of seconds then everything went back to the blackness it was. Thunder roared loudly in the night sky, then there was another flash of light. The surroundings were dark, and to anyone who had never been there before would have gotten lost in a matter of seconds. Fog was starting to roll in, and it now became even harder to see. A woman ran as fast as she could. She didn't know where she was going but her heart told her she was going in the right direction. She ran into the woods, almost tripping on a root that lay above the ground. She hugged the tree for support hoping it would be enough. Looking behind her, she couldn't see a thing. Fear over took her body and she wanted to collapse onto the ground. But a strong set of hands grabbed her. One part wrapped around her waist and the other around her mouth. Every muscle in her body scream, for her to run away. Run away and never look back. But the strong arm around her wouldn't let go.

"Belle, relax." The man said. Belle recognized the voice. "Your husband sent me." He said slowly letting go of her mouth. She still wanted to scream, but knew in the back of her mind she shouldn't. She turned and looked at the man.

"Remus." She breathed, almost a sigh of relief.

"Shh." He silenced her with a look. There was another flash of lightening as Belle could see everything around her for a moment. He looked back to the field she had just ran through with fear. More fear then when Remus had held her, and she didn't know who it was.

Crossing the fog filled field, where hooded men in black clocks. It didn't even look like they were walking toward the two hidden on the edge of the forest. It looked like they were floating. The hooded figures kept moving closer and closer. They all seemed to move at least a step behind one that walked in the middle. Belle gript Remus tightly as they continued to move closer. That was a crash of thunder, so loud and hard it felt like the earth had moved, then rain pour down.

"God, Remus." She muttered quietly.

"I know Belle. Just stay calm. They won't notice us." He tried to assure, but his voice came out in a tremble. The men had stopped walking twenty feet from where the edge of the forest started. The man in the middle removed his hood and started to laugh, but the laugh sounded more like a cackle. Then the rain came down harder. Each drop felt like a nail being pounded into Belle's skin. Remus watched as, the now unhooded man motioned with one hand and another came forward.

"Fetch her." The man said.

"Yes, my Lord." Was all he said then with a single motion of his own hand three other men came forward, and started walking toward the forest. Belle breathed in deeply as they moved closer, and closer to where she and Remus were hiding.

"Come, now Belle." She heard a familiar voice beckon. She couldn't resist looking out from behind the tree where she hid to see the pale skin of a man she once knew.

"Severus." Remus hissed, to himself. But that was enough for him to be heard. Another flash of lightening and Severus Snape stood in front of both people.

"Lupin. I should have known, you'd be here to help her." He sneered in disgust at the sight of Remus.

"Yes, well anything for a friend." He replied pleasantly while pulling his wand out from under his robes.

"Such a shame, your friend couldn't be here to witness this act himself." Snape chuckled to himself. "Isn't that right Isobella? Your own husband can't protect you, so he sends his pitiful friends to do it." Belle wanted to scream at him, but Remus was holding her back.

"Belle, calm your self. He wants you to over react, so you become more venerable and will act on impulse." Remus whispered into her ear. Belle immediately regained her composure, and grabbed her own wand and pointed right at Snape.

"Oh, please. Do you honestly think, two wizards are going to stop the Dark Lord?" He laughed to himself, giving the two, enough time to grabbed their wands. "Now make it easy," He said. "And just walk with me." Remus gave Belle a nudge instructing her to do as she was requested. Belle hesitated for a moment but then started to walk. The three of them walked out of the forest and into the torrential down pour that was mostly being blocked by the abundance of trees in the forest. Soon they were surrounded everywhere by Death-Eaters. The circled around the twosome, with hungry cold eyes. Remus recognized a few of them but didn't say anything.

"You realize the only reason why I'm letting you control me like this is because I have a child to think about!" Belle yelled out in anger. Remus grabbed her by the wrists and held her back while she wanted to kick and scream her way back to her daughter.

"Yes and you wouldn't want to endanger her life would you?" The Dark Lord spoke out for the first time. Belle looked at Remus with fear in her eyes.

"She's at a friend's house." Was all he said then when back to forming a plain to get them out of the predicament they were in.

"Is that what you really think?" The Dark Lord said with a cruel smile.

Beth looked at Remus then back to the Lord. "No." Was all she could get out of her mouth. Everything else got stuck in her throat.

"She quite the character, Isobella." The Dark Lord said with a smile as one of his men brought Belle's daughter out in his arms.

"Missy!" She said quietly afraid that she might scare the girl. The man carrying her put her down and Missy stumbled, when her small feet touched the ground. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, just as the rain started to let up. Belle looked heart broken, as she saw her child in a Disney night dress, which was now wet from being out in the cold rain, look dazedly around the area.

"You monster! She a child!" Belle screamed out. Remus had to restrain her from attacking everyone around. " A four-year-old little girl!" She continued to scream hysterically. The Dark Lord muttered a binding smell, and Belle's body fell limp.

"Keep, that up and I won't even let you hold her." The Dark Lord commanded. Belle tried to look up at him, but with the body bind on her, she couldn't even move.

"Bring the girl to me." He said with full command. The Death- Eater, picked Missy back up off the ground and brought her over to his Lord. He held her out to the Lord like you would a rag-doll. He had his hands under her arms and her legs hung loosely. The Lord took Missy in his arms and smiled at the small four-year-old.

"So your Missy." He said with a smile, trying not to scar the girl. At least not yet. Missy nodded her head. "I bet you'd like to see your mother." He continued. "Would you like that?" Missy again just nodded her head. "Do you not speak?" He questioned. Missy looked at the ground and said quietly.

"My Mommy said 'Never talk to strangers'."

"Oh she did, did she? Well I'm not a stranger. I'm an old friend of you mothers." He said as he put the girl back down on the ground. Missy's feet touched the ground and she slipt underneath the wetness of the grass.

"Severus. Take Missy to her mother." The Lord commanded. Snape moved quickly over to Missy and forcefully took her hand. Snape almost dragged the child over to where Remus held Belle, who was still under the spell.

"Mommy!" Missy said, letting go of Snape's hand and running over to her mother.

"My baby." She said as tears fell down her cheek. "Don't be scared Missy. Okay?"

"I'm not scared." Missy said giving her mother a hug, but not receiving on in return. Missy looked confused at how her mother didn't hug her.

"Please! Let my hold, my child!" She cried out, making Missy jump a little. The Dark Lord looked amused with her face as she begged to him. But with a wave of his hand Belle fell to the wet ground in a hep. She didn't even think she just held out her arms, and Missy came running into them.

"Oh my baby girl." She cried while picking Missy up and holding her tight.

"Severus. Retrieve the girl." The Lord yelled. Snape walked over to Belle and pried Missy from her arms with such force that Belle fell backwards onto Remus. Snape brought Missy back over to the Lord and he looked at the child and smiled cruelly.

"Snape!" He commanded once again. "Throw the child into the air!" He said. Snape looked worried for a moment then hid it quickly. He picked Missy up, from under her arms. He hesitated for a moment but then started to swing his arms. Soon he let go of Missy and she went flying up into the air. Twenty feet or so. The Dark Lord starting saying the words to an unforgivable curse, as voices cried out 'No'.





Missy awoke screaming. "No!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Sweat fell from her forehead as she sat up in the bed still screaming. She wanted to run, but her legs wouldn't move. She trashed like a wild animal at the table beside her. Sending the vase with light blue 'Snuggle' flowers in them, flying to the ground breaking into a million tiny pieces. Missy was kicking and screaming trying to get out of the bed when Madam Pomfrey came rushing into the room. She had been treating students for Hagrid's class for burns and lacerations. Madam Pomfrey, reached the bed just as Missy sent another object flying to the floor. Madam Pomfrey tried to grab a hold of Missy's flaring arms, she couldn't keep her grip. Whatever had woken Missy out of her unconsciousness had also given her unbelievable strength to fight. The nurse tried to calm her down by use of spells but, they didn't seem to have any effect on her body. She would slow down for a moment or two, but then she'd be right back fighting to get out of them bed. Madam Pomfrey tried to use all her body weight to hold Missy down in the bed while she sent someone for help but Missy sent the nurse flying out of the curtains that had been hiding Missy's bed. Madam Pomfrey got off the floor and limply tried to get out of them room but was stopped but someone running in.

"What the hell is going on here?" He asked.

"Oh Ron! Thank goodness. Missy just woke up and is screaming insanities about everyone. She's trying to get out of the bed, but I had put restraints on her legs yester day." Madam Pomfrey tried to explain. Ron looked at her, and saw the panic in her eyes.

"Had Missy really lost it?" He thought to himself, but then quickly diminished the thought and ran back into the room he had come from.

"Harry, Seamus. Missy out of control!" He yelled at two of the boys. Half the room turned to look at him. They had all been there the day Missy had fallen during class over a week ago. Both Seamus and Harry jumped off the bed's they had been occupying and ran with Ron into the other infirmary where the screams that Ron had left the main infirmary to investigate got louder.

"Bloody hell." Harry said as the sound got louder. "She screams like a blood Banshee."

"Yeah." Seamus agreed. "And I thought Hermione was loud." The three boys snickered at the comment but then stopped when they heard yet another crashing sound come from behind them.

"What the hell?" Ron mouthed as they turned to see Missy had broken the straps that had restrained her legs.

"Uh . . . maybe . . . I should . . . um . . . go." Seamus stuttered out.

"I agree. Go get Hagrid." Harry said not taking his eyes of what Missy was doing. "He'll know who to get." He said as he watched as Missy through another vase across the room. Seamus ran out of the room to find Hagrid, leaving Ron and Harry to deal with Missy.

"What you think we ought to do?" Ron asked looking at his fearless leader of a best friend.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I don't now maybe it because you beating You-Know-Who, a few times'." Ron said with a half smile remembering some of his friend's encounters with the Dark Lord.

"So think that because I've taken him down several times that qualifies me to deal with a hormonal teenaged girl, who doesn't seem to be to happy." Harry said with a serious face. "Man, I'd rather fight You-Know-Who, then with her right now." Ron tried no to laugh at his best friend's joke, but then he thought for a second. And came to the conclusion that he agreed with Harry. Teenaged girls are scarier then Lord Voldemort, when mad. Ron was so deep in thought he hadn't noticed what Missy was doing in the room, until he heard the crashing or something on the floor. He looked over to see Missy throwing a mirror onto the ground as it broke into a million pieces, reflecting Missy's angry face.

"Well that defiantly seven years' bad luck." Harry mumbled to himself.

"Seven years of what?" Ron replied looking totally confused. Harry was about to explain when someone interrupted him.

"Would someone please shut her up?!" The angry voice boomed. They turned to see the tall Malfoy standing there, looking annoyed.

"You wanna do it?" Ron stubbornly said back to him.

"Gladly!" Malfoy shot back at him, then strode toward Missy. She looked at him and he looked at her. Missy grabbed a potion from the cabinet on the wall and through it with such force at Draco that it would have left a nice big bruise right smack dab in the centre of his head. Malfoy ducked to the ground and the potions smashed onto the floor ten feet from where Ron and Harry were standing. The pink liquid spread on the floor, making it so Ron and Harry would not dare, cross not knowing what the potion was on the floor.

"All right, I've had enough of this." Malfoy growled at Missy who was screaming at him to keep away. He took a few swift steps toward her, then before she knew it he had thrown her over his broad shoulders and started walking toward her bed. Missy was kicking and beating on his back trying to get free of his grip, but couldn't seem to manage it. He held her in such a position that it would take the jaws of life just to free here.

"PUT ME DOWN, YOU CRETIN!" She screamed out and beat him on the back. Malfoy snickered at what she had just called him "So true, so true." He thought to himself. Missy was so angry at that she did the next best thing that could come to her mind. She lowered her face to his mid back more to the side of where his hips started, and bit down into his flesh. Not hard enough so it would start to bleed. Just enough to make him jump and leave teeth marks. Malfoy screamed in surprise, tossing Missy onto the nearest bed and jumping around grabbing at where she had just taken a bite out him.

"Fuck she just bit me!" He screamed out in frustration. He wasn't paying attention to where or what Missy was doing. She had mounted herself on the bed and was reading to spring when Malfoy's back was to her. Not realizing what was about to happen Malfoy cursed under his breath a little more. He turned and glared at Ron and Harry, who could see what Missy was about to do and were trying to warn him, but it was too late. Missy had leapt onto his back and now held him in a choker hold. Malfoy swung around and around trying to knock her off, but she held on tight. Arms around his neck she didn't know what she was doing so she squeezed tighter, and Malfoy's face started to turn blue. Just then Hagrid and the care taker Filch came storming into the room to see a blue-faced Malfoy starting to look very dizzy and ready to pass out. Professor McGonnagall was hot on their tail with an angry looking Snape beside her. Snape stormed forward, right though the spilt potion and directly toward Malfoy. Hagrid fallowed in suit. Missy saw Hagrid coming toward her, and started to grow a little less frightened but then she saw him. The man who tormented her dream. Snape. Snape was shouting something at her, while waving his wand. Missy felt as if someone was ripping her arms from her sockets, as she was forcefully charmed to let got of Malfoy. Her arms let go of the hold she held on him and she fell to the ground scurrying into the corner like a mouse trapped by a cat. Draco had stumbled to the ground trying to catch his breath. He sat on his inner thighs and legs, hands resting on the ground breathing deeply for a moment or so. The colour was coming back to his cheeks and his breathing was becoming more normal. Snape bent down to the ground to take with him.

"Are you all right?" He asked sounded as if he cared just a little bit.

"I'm fine." Malfoy mumbled. Snape glared at Missy, who was hiding in a ball in the corner.

"Two-hundred points from Gryffindor." He growled as he moved closer to her. As Snape to a few steps closer to Missy she became to shake violently. Not like she had last week, this was a more uncontrollable scared shake.

"S-s-s-Stay aw-away from mu-mu me." She stuttered out as he came closer to her. Her eyes filled with fear, hatred, anger and tears. Just as Snape lowered himself down to her eye level, another party entered the room, helping a very shaken up Madam Pomfrey.

"Professor Snape, I suggest that you step back from her." Dumbledore called out as he helped Madam into a chair to relax her. Snape only did as he was requested, because it was the Head Master of the school. He turned his back on Missy just enough for to grab a shard of glass from the floor and lunged at Snape. The shard of glass cut through his black robes and into his skin. Snape cried out in pain, as Missy dug the piece of glass further into his spine. Without a word Hagrid stepped out from where he was and grabbed Missy around the waist.

"Put me down!" She howled, as he carried her over to Dumbledore.

"Thank you Hagrid." He said with a soft smile directed at both Missy and Hagrid. "Now Madam Pomfrey will see to the injured. When everyone is taken care of, would you please come to my office." He reached down and took a hold of Missy's hand and started to lead her away from the Hospital wing and down a few corridors.
