Chapter 9- Memories Have Been Revealed
Kiara woke perhaps 5 hours later. It was now starting to become dark. She stretched. She got off the bed, and stretched some more. She felt fine now. Madam Pomfrey came in.
"I feel much better." Kiara told her.
"We better hope so. Run along." She said. Kiara walked out the door. She was walking through the halls, heading for the Gryffindor tower.
"Hey!" She heard Ron yell. She stopped and waited for him.
"Hi." She said, smiling.
"Are you feeling better?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, much better." Kiara replied.
"Did Hermione tell you that the Quidditch game is cancelled?" Ron asked.
"WHAT?" Kiara cried out, angry.
"Professor Dumbledore said because of the recent events taking place at the school, the game against Slytherin is post-poned until after the holidays." Ron said.
"Because of me!" Kiara said, frowning.
"Actually, probably just because of the ball, and Christmas coming up and everything. And possibly because of you." Ron said truthfully. They continued to the common room to find Harry and Hermione there. They were snuggling awfully close together. Ron snickered. Kiara held back a laugh.
"Oh hi!" Harry said, flushing. Hermione was too.
"Feeling better?" She asked. Kiara nodded. Then the conversation proceeded by Harry whining about Quidditch being cancelled, which didnt help Kiara's guilty feelings go away. It was really late by the time the four of them had stopped talking, so they all fell asleep on the couches.
**
Harry woke up, rubbed his eyes, and put on his glasses. Hermione had her head on his shoulder. He glanced around, and remembered they all fell asleep in the common room. He checked his watch. There was only 10 minutes until Potions started!
"You guys! 10 minutes until potions!" Harry yelled at them. They all woke up really quick, getting ready in record time.
"But Snape's room is on the other side of the school, and we have 5 minutes left!" Ron whined. Hermione gasped.
"I learned a spell to make us go really fast, or normal, or super slow!" She exclaimed. She cast the fast spell on them, and they got down to potions in 4 minutes. Then she cast the normal speed on them. They entered the room, and ran to desks, but they didnt make it soon enough. Snape was in the middle of starting the day's lesson. Kiara plopped herself next to Hermione. She felt someone staring at her, and she glanced across from their table at Malfoy's. He was looking at her.
Then he mouthed the words, "Are you feeling okay?" Kiara nodded, and flashed him a grin. He gave his trademark smirk, and went back to writing notes.
"Ah. How nice of the four of you to join us." Snape said, glaring. "Your late."
"But Professor...only by a minute!" Hermione protested.
"Do not interupt me, you silly girl. 5 points from Gryffindor. Each." Snape concluded. Harry and Ron gave him death glares, Kiara sighed angrily, and Hermione got really worried looking. Snape continued with the notes for everyone to be copying down. Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown kept glaring at the four of them, as if it was their fault that Snape gave them so many notes.
At the last 20 minutes of class, Snape ended the notes. Everyone leaned back, and sighed, massaging their wrists and fingers from writing cramps. "As you all know, the Yule Ball will be next week, December 20th. That is the last day before your Christmas vacation. Most of your teachers will go easy on giving you all homework, but do not expect that from me." Snape said, glaring.
After glares from most of the class, everyone began talking about Christmas, and the Ball. Snape sighed, and let them have their fun talking.
"Oh I cant wait till the ball and Christmas! I am going home, with my mother and father! What about you Parvati?" Lavender said loudly to her best friend, who was only a few feet from her, yet she was talking as if she was yards away. Hermione rolled her eyes. There were two things she couldnt stand: Lavender's loudness, and Lavender's immaturity. Harry knew this, too.
He jumped in. "Lavender, can you quiet down a bit?" He asked.
"Well, excuse me! I just was having a conversation! Anyway, I dont expect many plans for YOU four, am I right?" She asked. Usually she wasnt this mean. She probably just was still ticked off about all the notes.
"Actually, Harry and me are already going to the ball together!" Hermione said, defending him. She blushed immediatly. He flushed a bit, too.
"Really? That is SO cute!" Lavender said in a high pitched squeal, completely forgetting about being rude.
"Are you serious?!" Ron asked, amazed. Kiara grinned for them.
"What about you two? Going to the ball with anyone? Going home for Christmas?" Parvati asked Ron and Kiara.
"Mum always likes me staying here, since she usually goes to visit Bill and Charlie." Ron mumbled.
"I dont have anywhere to go for Christmas." Kiara said.
"Why?" Parvati asked, raising and eyebrow.
"My parents are dead.." Kiara trailed off. Its not that she was sad about it, she hardly remembered them. Its just that she felt....odd talking about it.
"Oh, Im sorry. I never knew." Parvati said, giving a reassuring smile, "What about the ball?" She asked.
"I...dont think Im going." Kiara mumbled, "Im only a third year."
"And I might ask Padma again..." Ron mumbled.
"Oh, she would like that. She didnt have much fun, but she liked you afterwards." Parvati said.
"Are you excited to be here for Christmas?" Lavender asked. She was looking at Kiara. Kiara's mind filled with thoughts. Such as, will she live for Christmas, or if the prophecy is true, and so on. Kiara glanced from Lavender to Parvati, who both were awaiting an answer. Harry, Hermione, and Ron all glanced at Kiara, knowing she didnt know how to answer.
"She isnt sure." Ron mumbled quickly.
"I didnt ask you Ron! I asked her!" Lavender said. "Well, are you excited to be here for Christmas?" Lavender repeated, asking louder and slower, as if Kiara hadnt heard her. Kiara didnt know what to say. She felt herself trembling from nervousness. She felt her eyes water for a second or two. "Hello?!" Lavender said louder.
"I WILL BE DEAD FOR CHRISTMAS!" Kiara yelled, crying, and running out of the potions room. The class stared blankly after her. Harry, Hermione, and Ron scrambled up, and started to the door.
"STAY!" Bellowed Snape. They turned around.
"But--" Hermoine began.
"I have had enough of your backtalk! Stay here!" Snape yelled, glaring. "Malfoy, come with me please, the rest of you class, stay in your seats, and keep quiet!" Snape concluded. Malfoy and Snape left the room.
**
'WHY?!' Kiara screamed in her mind as she ran through the dungeons. 'Why are people so nosy?' She kept asking herself, and 'Why did I scream that in front of the class? Now they ALL know!' She tripped from running in the dark, cold tunnels. She lifted her knees to her chin, and cried. She curled her arms around them. She leaned against the cold, stone, wall. All of a sudden, a blinding flash filled the tunnels, and it forced her to close her eyes it was so bright. She sat there a moment, and soon after she could hear voices. One of them sounded remarkably like Snape's. She opened her eyes, and saw light in the tunnels. Not the blinding one she had just seen, but light from lanterns hanging above her.
"We dont have lanterns down here..." Kiara mumbled quietly. She stood up, and brushed at her robes, and wiped her face.
The voices came closer.
"Lucius....what exactly are you talking about?" Snape asked. 'Lucius?!' Kiara thought. The two men came into view. In fact, it was Snape...but his hair was much shorter. Still black and greasy, but up to his ears. And he looked about 20 years younger. Then she saw who she assumed, Lucius. His hair was slighly longer than Draco's but still plastered to his head. He looked an awful lot like Draco. They were walking down the tunnels. Kiara froze. They would see her any second. But they walked right past her. In fact, Lucius's hand went right through her. Thats when she realized this must be a vision. But how is she seeing it? She followed Lucius and Snape.
"The girl that likes me...Draten is her name. Makenzie. She told me Dumbledore told her that she and I will die Christmas day,...unless we take some stupid anidote." Lucius continued.
"Wait, why you as well?" Snape asked.
"Severus...I am in love with her! True, my father told me its disgusting to show emotion, but I cant help it. She loves me too, and we can feel each other's heart ache!" Lucius said. They trotted up the spiral staircase. Kiara followed a few feet behind.
"So....what will happen if you guys dont take the antidote?" Snape asked.
"I just told you! We will both die! She said all Dratens fall in love with Malfoys...and all Malfoys fall in love with Dratens. There is no way to escape it!" Lucius said. His stern look turned into a happy smile. It was creepy. Snape followed his gaze,...as did Kiara. It landed upon a girl, skinny, somewhat tall, with waist-length brown hair, and bright green eyes.
"Mum!" Kiara exclaimed. This was her Mum at a younger age...perhaps in her 7th year.
"Hi Lucius! Hello Severus." Her Mum, Makenzie said, running down the hall. She hugged Lucius.
"Hello Mazie..." Lucius said. She smiled, aprooving her nickname. Snape nodded to her.
"So, have you told Severus? Its fine with me, to tell your best friends...have you told Crabbe and Goyle as well?" Makenzie asked. Lucius nodded, blushing from embarassment slightly.
"Have you told..erm..your friends?" Lucius asked.
"Yes. But not Peter....he has a good heart, but a large mouth.." Makenzie said, smiling.
"Your friends with THEM?" Snape asked, spitting out the last word.
"Yes. Im sorry if they are your foes...but Sirius, James, and Remus are my best friends." Makenzie said.
"What about Weasley?" Lucius asked, spitting out the name.
"Yes...Arthur knows as well..." Makenzie said, sighing.
"Arthur? WEASLEY?" Kiara yelled. Then she forgot, no one could hear her.
"Well...are we going to take the antidote?" Lucius asked, looking worried.
"Yes. But after we take it...you wont love me. I will not love you, perhaps lust...you will go back to your evil ways...we will remember..of course..." Makenzie mumbled, sighing.
"Its too bad that our feelings are fake..."Lucius said.
"Fake?" Snape asked, at the same time Kiara asked.
"Well...the curse runs through our families...we know we cant avoid these feelings....we still feel them, but in a way they are fake." Lucius said.
"Im sorry to hear that." Snape mumbled.
"And I will die....all Draten girls die 5 to 10 years after graduating from Hogwarts. I will marry someone else, have a daughter...and Voldemort will kill us." Makenzie said.
"But he is just now coming into power..." Snape said, smirking. Lucius gave a quick smirk as well.
"Yes, and if he still is in power, or out, he will still find a way to kill me." Makenzie said.
The three (four) of them stood there silent.
"Severus, I am betting 10 million galleons that you and Lucius, Crabbe and Goyle..will end up being Death eaters. After all, most Slytherin do." Makenzie started to say.
"And...?" Snape asked.
"Well...if you dont become one...my daughter will make it here some day....I want you to watch over her...especially every Christmas holiday that she is here. Can you do that?" Makenzie asked. Snape nodded.
"And she can not ask me....for I will have my son here....its been made permanent that all Malfoys will have boys, all Dratens will have girls..." Lucius said.
"I have already asked Sirius, James, Arthur, and Remus." Makenzie said.
"How are you sure they will all be living, including me?" Snape asked.
"Im not. Im just praying somehow, someway, you all are able to check up on her, even if it means sending owls to Dumbledore. I have asked him as well." Makenzie said.
"...Mum?" Kiara asked. She wished so much she could hear her. She felt violent shaking, and the vision dissappeared completely, and Kiara felt the cold, damp tunnels again. She opened her eyes. She saw Snape, as he is now, and Draco, both holding up their lit up wands.
"Are you awake now?" Malfoy asked her, helping her up.
"How long was I sleeping?" Kiara asked. She assumed she fell asleep.
"You passed out. Only for 5 minutes." Snape barked.
"Oh." Kiara mumbled.
"I brought Malfoy, and came here to tell you to be safe this Christmas holiday. I heard you scream your going to die...the curse. I know about it..of course." Snape said.
"I know. When I was just passed out..I had a vision...of the day Lucius Malfoy was telling you that he loved my mother...and when my mother made you promise to watch over me every Christmas." Kiara said.
"Ah. I know. I gave you that message as me and Mr. Malfoy came here to get you." Snape said.
"Why havent you watched over me until now?" Kiara asked.
"I have. If you remember back to your first and second year..I know you saw me lurking around during Christmas....think back." Snape said. And Kiara did. She remembered her first year, not knowing really anyone....she was slight friends with Dennis Creevy....and she got all scared, seeing Snape watching her so intently....then she remembered her second year...the year of the Triwizard Tournament, it seemed nearly half the professors were around....worrying about Harry mainly...but they kept eyes on her as well.
"So...is it true?" Kiara asked.
"Is what?" Snape asked.
"Lucius Malfoy and my Mum were in love." Kiara said. Snape nodded. Draco gasped.
"But my Father would NEVER love!" He exclaimed.
"You do." Snape said.
"But wait...werent you a death eater? Did you remember the promise? Why didnt you tell Voldemort to kill me when he had the chance?" Kiara asked, full of so many more questions.
"I was a death eater. Then I quit, and became a spy for Dumbledore. Lucius hated me after that, and I hated him. Crabbe and Goyle followed his ways...he always was their leader...in a sense..I remembered the promise after I was a death eater...when Albus accepted me to be a teacher here...he remembered as well..and told me to watch for the son of Malfoy, and the daughter of Draten. Voldemort did not want to kill you. He wanted more death. He wanted you to live out the curse." Snape said quietly.
"I had a vision of when my Mum died....she begged me to end it." Kiara said.
"End it? You mean...end US?" Draco asked, confused.
"Makenzie tried. She couldnt let Lucius die as well. She had too big of a heart. So they took the antidote, and I watched as she still loved him, and he treated her awful. I felt somewhat sorry, but not much, since those days were the final days before I was a death eater." Snape said.
"....Who is Remus?" Kiara asked.
"Why?" Snape asked, scowling.
"In the vision....my Mum's best friends were Sirius Black...Im assuming James Potter...and Arthur Weasley. Who was Remus?" Kiara asked.
"Remus Lupin. He was a teacher here two years ago. He was a warewolf. He taught here when Sirius Black was on the loose." Snape said.
"Mr. Weasley?" Draco asked.
"Yes. Arthur liked Makenzie...a lot. But she liked him as a friend." Snape said.
"Like me and Ron?" Kiara asked.
"What do you mean?" Snape asked.
"Well...Ron likes me...but I dont like him like that....I mean...I know Im going to fall in love with Draco..." Kiara trailed off.
Malfoy grabbed her hand.
"And Pansy likes me...but I know Im going to fall in love with Kiara." He said.
"But if you take the antidote...you two wont love each other. And if you dont, you two will die. Thats the problem your mother and your father faced." Snape said. They sighed.
"Lets get back to class, they probably are going wild. And Kiara....be safe over the next few days. I dont like breaking promises....and in a sense..me and Dumbledore are the closest things to family you have." Snape said, walking off. Kiara and Malfoy exchanged glances. Then they followed.
A/n- OOOH FREAKY! Wow. I didnt expect it to be like this. I think each chapter I improve. Yes I know, this one was HORRIBLY long, at least compared to the rest. Do you guys think it was okay? Like the vision? Did I make it work, so it DID in fact tie in with the real story? And I even suprised myself, making Snape somewhat nice. Well, you know the drill. Review for the next chapter!
Kiara woke perhaps 5 hours later. It was now starting to become dark. She stretched. She got off the bed, and stretched some more. She felt fine now. Madam Pomfrey came in.

"But if you take the antidote...you two wont love each other. And if you dont, you two will die. Thats the problem your mother and your father faced." Snape said. They sighed.
"Lets get back to class, they probably are going wild. And Kiara....be safe over the next few days. I dont like breaking promises....and in a sense..me and Dumbledore are the closest things to family you have." Snape said, walking off. Kiara and Malfoy exchanged glances. Then they followed.
A/n- OOOH FREAKY! Wow. I didnt expect it to be like this. I think each chapter I improve. Yes I know, this one was HORRIBLY long, at least compared to the rest. Do you guys think it was okay? Like the vision? Did I make it work, so it DID in fact tie in with the real story? And I even suprised myself, making Snape somewhat nice. Well, you know the drill. Review for the next chapter!
