Destiny of the Chosen Four
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter (Is it really necessary to write this?) Chapter 3: A pitiful Draco?
"Alright, here we are," announced Mrs. Weasley. The familiar and somewhat comforting sight of Diagon Alley, bustling with lots of witches and wizards greeted everyone. "Alright, lets get your books first," said Mrs. Weasley, before steering them to the direction Flourish and Blotts.
Harry felt very 'at home', watching the twin's gleeful expression upon discovering a trick pen (after writing for a min, the ink quirts out uncontrollably, but then disappears after awhile), and Hermione and Ginny both engrossed in books, ' Guide to Potions Making: Advanced' (Typical of her) and 'Tips for Wand Malfunctions' respectively. Ron was snug with a copy of the Quidditch Weekly. After paying for the books, they were just about to make their way out, when the door swung open -
And in stepped Lucius and Draco Malfoy.
"There goes a perfectly good afternoon out of the window," muttered Ron sarcastically. Almost everyone stiffened in alertness, with good knowledge that nothing good ever happens when the Malfoys are present. Lucius glared, then with a sly smirk greeted them. " Molly Weasley, what a surprise to see you here, and full of new books too," and with that, walked off into the shop.
Mrs. Weasley paled slightly, with a constricted voice, told them to move on. Ginny, sensing her mother's uneasiness, held her hand tightly for reassurance. That got a smile from her. Just as they moved out, Harry turned around for one last look.
Draco Malfoy, the school bully of Hogwarts, his nemesis, was looking at them with what seemed like envious and sad look? Malfoy, looking like that? Just as Harry was pondering over that, something surprised him even more. ' Sorr-' Draco closed his mouth, his gaze hardened, and turned away swiftly. As he turned, Harry caught a startling glimpse of Draco's arms under his velvet dark cloak.
His pale, unblemished skin was covered with several dark big bruises.
Harry was shocked, but quickly recovered his senses and went out to join the rest of them. But what he didn't notice was the furious expression of the senior Malfoy at his son. "I-I am sorr-ry, Father..please I won't do it again, I p-promise!!" Draco pleaded, though he knew what was to come. Lucius simply took out his wand, cast a silencing spell around his son and him. "Crucio," came the reply.
He screamed in great agony, but no one could hear.
********
Millions of questions were coursing through his brain, almost causing him a severe migraine. " Are you alright, Harry?" Hermione asked him, concern etched all over her face. " Yah, after coming out of Flourish and Blotts, you look kind of pale. What took you so long to come out? Did Malfoy hex you? I'll get him!" Ron said angrily. "No, I'm fine.. Listen, I need to talk to you guys. Privately. It's kind of bizarre, you'll never believe it." Harry replied. Three heads, after all, are better than one.
Ron and Hermione turned and looked at each, having identical expressions on both their faces. 'Ok then, we'll talk on the school train."
*********
The next day, the trio was seated at their usual compartment. "Okay, spill it. What's the unbelievable news that you were going to tell us?" Ron was first to break the ice. Harry began relating what he discovered about Draco yesterday. Ron looked smug. Hermione looked skeptical. "Are you sure your eyes weren't playing tricks on you?" Hermione asked. "No, I'm real sure. The strange thing is the bruises. All I know, Malfoy isn't the easy type to get hurt. He's too smart and sly to get hex by magic.maybe it physical." Harry thought out loud. "But Harry-" Hermione stooped in mid sentence.
The shiny blond hair and green and white attire wasn't hard to miss. Draco Malfoy was standing at their doorway.
