A/n- I own the Draten's.
Chapter 20: Temptations, Lies, and Courage
"Crutacius!" Lucius roared. Kiara fell to the ground, rolling in the pain.
Now she knew how Draco had felt only moments before.
"Ugh. I do hope my Lord arrives soon. I grow quite annoyed by you two." Lucius said, rolling his eyes.
**
Seamus, Dean, and Neville ran up to the Gargoyle statue. They knew it was the way to Dumbledore's office, but they didnt know the password.
"Hogwarts!" Cried out Dean. The gargoyle remained still.
"Albus!" Seamus said. Yet the gargoyle didnt budge.
"Headmaster!" Dean tried again.
"Muggle?" Seamus guessed.
"Food!" Neville blurted out. They turned to look at him.
"Food? FOOD? Golly, Neville! You expect someone as powerful as Dumbledore to have a password with a food name in it?" Dean asked.
"...Well,...you never know." Neville said, his round face turning pink.
"Golly! Sure, I bet it has been like a candy name all along! Perhaps Lemon Drop! Honestly, Neville!" Seamus exclaimed.
"Hey, what about Cochroach Cluster?" Dean asked, laughing.
"Or chocolate frog?!" Seamus said, doubling over. They heard movement, and the gargoyle had moved, revealing spiral stairs.
"It was chocolate frog?" Dean asked in awe. Neville grinned. For once food was the answer.
The three of them ran up the stairs, and knocked on Dumbledore's door.
"Yes?" Professor Dumbledore asked, opening the door slightly.
"Harry--"
"Ron--"
"and Hermione--"
"They are helping--"
"Malfoy--"
"and Kiara!--"
The three of them said, all interrupting each other.
"Ah. I know." Professor Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling. They were about to ask how he knew, but then he opened the door the rest of the way.
Snape was sitting in the office.
"Join us." Dumbledore said, letting them in, and then closed the door.
**
"According to the map, its just Kiara, Lucius, and Malfoy out there." Ron said, glancing at it.
"It seems Voldemort hasnt arrived." Harry said. They were currently outside, on their way to Hogsmeade. Specifically, they were a little past the Whomping Willow.
They heard a rustling drawing nearer to them. All four of them grabbed their wands, and pointed them in the direction of the rustling. Hagrid emerged from a group of trees of to their left, and he was dragging a tree.
"Wha' are yer four doin' ou' this late?" Hagrid asked, looking suspicious.
"Er...Kiara and Malfoy are gone...because the curse..." Harry muttered.
"Oh no! Does Dumbledore know?" Hagrid asked.
"We send Seamus, Dean, and Neville to tell him, and Snape went, too." Hermione said.
"Well then, wha' are yer doin' ou' here?" He asked, glancing at their guilty expressions.
"We..." Ron started.
"Don' tell em yer goin' to save them?" Hagrid said, watching them nod, "Yer need ter stop bein' the school heroes!"
"Hagrid, we dont have much time! For all we know they could be dead! If you want them to live, LET US GO!" Harry exclaimed.
Hagrid hesitated. "I don' like sayin' this, but go. Be careful. I don' wan' any of yer to go near you-know-who. Jus' ge' Kiara and Malfoy, and ge' ou' of there. And Hermione and Colin, stay away from you-know-who more than the others do....he hates muggle-borns almos' as much as he hates Harry." Hagrid said, as they ran off. He started making his way up to the school.
**
The pain continued throughout Kiara's body. She heard Draco yelling, and his father cursing. Within moment, the pain subsided. Kiara sat up, blinking. She saw Lucius crawling on the ground, reaching for his wand. Draco grabbed it before Lucius could.
"How will this look, to your master? A fully grown powerful man, beaten by his teenage son." Draco said, smirking. Kiara shuddered a bit. Lucius and Draco shared the same smirk.
"I would say it would give me a higher liking towards you, and a much lower one towards your father." Said a high pitched, screechy, airey voice. Kiara froze. She felt a chill shoot up her spine. The voice had come from directly behind her. Draco and Lucius looked at the voice's owner. Draco had a very large look of fear on his face, and he stumbled backwards in fear. Lucius arose, grabbed his wand, and wiped at his robes.
"How nice to see you, my Lord." Lucius said, smirking. Draco glanced at Kiara and their eyes met. Draco's expression seemed to be telling her, 'move! run! hide!'. But her expression replied, 'Im too scared to move.'
"Dont warm up to me. I saw you beaten temporarily by that boy." Voldemort said.
"Well, my Lord, if you had arrived a few moments later, you would have seen me overpowering the boy, and...winning." Lucius said quickly. He began to sweat.
"Whatever you say Lucius. And I expect this to be...ahh.....the newest Draten...and the last." Voldemort said. Kiara stood, and backed up, then she turned to face him. She nearly screamed. He looked like a snake in the form of man.
"Yess...I amm.." Kiara mumbled, her voice shaking from fear. Draco moved closer towards her slowly, so Voldemort wouldnt notice.
"Come here child.." Hissed Voldemort.
"No." Kiara said quickly, gulping.
"Bring her to me..." Voldemort hissed to a short, plump, man, standing near him.
"Yes sir." Squeaked the man. He strutted over to her, and grabbed her arm. Draco lunged at the man.
"Leave her be." Draco said, glaring, and gritting his teeth. The fat man glanced at Voldemort, as if he needed instructions on what to do.
"Wormtail! You heard my orders!" Voldemort said, glaring with his red eyes. Wormtail seized Kiara around the arm, and began to yank. Draco, again, pushed at him.
"And you heard mine!" Draco bellowed. He stood in front of Kiara, defending her from Wormtail. Wormtail whimpered a bit, and pathetically looked at Voldemort.
"Why cant you follow a simple order?!" Voldemort asked, rolling his eyes, "Lucius, do something, dont just stand there."
Lucius pointed his wand at Kiara's back. Afterall, he had been standing behind them. "Imperio!" He called out. It struck Kiara, and she felt....light. She felt as if she was walking in air.
-walk to Voldemort- A voice said inside her head. Kiara nodded, and began to walk. Draco grabbed her arm.
"Fight it!" He yelled desperatly.
-push him away and continue your walk- The voice retorted. Kiara shoved Draco off of her, and continued. Kiara snapped out of it when Voldemort seized her around the neck, with his scaly hand. He lifted her off the ground. Kiara swung desperatly, hoping to fall.
"You could join me." Voldemort hissed to Draco.
"Why would I join you?" Draco spit out.
"You could be more powerful than your father...you could make him pay for never being there for you..." Voldemort hissed. Lucius gulped.
Draco hesitated. It would be nice hurting his father...
"You think of being powerful....Now,dont think of it..,become it.." Voldemort said.
"NEVER! I will NEVER join you, even if Im forced to, I wont!" Draco said, glaring.
"Very well. But look at what Im holding. You supposedly love her. Your willing to give up being powerful....over her?" Voldemort said.
"Im willing to die over her." Draco said sternly.
"Then so it shall be." Voldemort retorted.
**
Snape, Dumbledore, Seamus, Dean, and Neville ran down the hall. Dumbledore and Snape could simply apparate to where Voldemort was, but they didnt quite know where. They went on for about ten minutes, when Mystina (A/n- remember? Snape's woman!) walked in front of them.
"Mysty! Why are you out so late?" Snape asked quickly.
"I saw you not there Severus. I came to find you." She said, smirking deeply.
"Severus.." Dumbledore mumbled.
"Sorry Mystina, but we are in a very large hurry." Snape said to her.
"I know." Mystina replied, not moving.
"So....can you move please?" Snape asked.
"Severus,...we have known each other for a long time." Mystina said, ignoring his question. She started pacing back and forth through the narrow tunnel. Seamus glanced behind him. There was no other path to the main hall. And this Mystina girl was blocking the only way.
"Miss Valeth, if you would mind, moving?" Dumbledore asked calmly. Mystina continued pacing. To the right two steps, then to the left two steps.
"And Dumbledore. You were Headmaster here when me and Severus were students." Mystina continued.
"Yes, thats true. Now, if you mind..?" Dumbledore asked again.
"I despised your perfect, good ways." Mystina said, glaring at Dumbledore.
"Thats no way to talk to him!" Neville exclaimed.
"Shut up pudge-boy." Mystina said, glaring at him. Neville looked near tears. She put her arm out, so it completely blocked the way out. Her sleeve fell down a bit, and revealed the Dark Mark.
"You have a Dark Mark!" Seamus exclaimed.
"Its good to see you have a brain, unlike this Pillsberry Doughboy Junior." Mystina said, rolling her eyes.
"Mystina." Snape said sharply, glaring at her. Neville looked up at Snape. In a form, it was Snape defending Neville.
"You know, its people like Dumbledore that deserve to die first. The muggle-lovers, or the keepers of what is good." Mystina said, continuing to ignore them.
"Might I ask why you think of me in that way?" Dumbledore asked, remaining calm.
"All TRUE Slytherin think of you that way. Severus, that brings me to my point. Why did you change?" Mystina asked, getting emotional.
"...I found a great man that as worth serving for, rather than a serpent who never really cares about his followers." Snape said.
"But we made a pact. You, me and Lucius. Your the only one who backed out." Mystina said. Snape took a step foward and hugged Mystina.
"You should back out too." Snape whispered to her. They kissed, and Seamus, Dean, and Neville almost gagged.
"Ahem. Erm. Would you mind...refraining from that at this moment?" Dumbledore said, interrupting them. Snape turned red in the face, Mystina's kept pale. They backed away.
"You were wrong. He cares. And I will always stay true to him, and serve him, My Lord, My King, Voldemort." Mystina replied to him.
"So, your still a deatheater?" Dean asked.
"Of course I would be. Severus over here, he quit." Mystina replied, glaring.
"You used to be a deatheater?" Seamus asked.
"That was a long time ago. Why exactly are you saying all of this at this particular moment, Mysty?" Snape asked.
"Because I want to...." Mystina mumbled.
"Or another reason. A quite obvious one, that we all seemed to ignore." Dumbledore said.
"And what reason is that?" Mystina asked.
"Your stalling us. So your master can injure the children further than he has." Dumbledore said. Mystina grinned.
"Well. It took you long enough. I must be off!" Mystina exclaimed, apparating.
"Professor Dumbledore, apparate after her!" Neville exclaimed immediatly.
"Im afraid I cant. I dont know where Draco and Kiara are." Dumbledore said.
"Maybe Potter and his wonder team know." Snape suggested.
"Actually....they told us to tell Dumbledore they left to save Kiara and Malfoy. So we dont know where they are either." Dean said.
"They went too?" Snape asked furiously.
"Then we must find our own way there. May God be with them now." Dumbledore whispered, looking worried.
**
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Colin kept a fast walking pace. There was silence for quite some time, until they heard a scream. The three of them broke out into a fast run, but Colin stumbled behind them.
"Colin, keep up!" Ron exclaimed, as he ran faster from adrenaline. They could see the roof of the Shriek Shack coming into view as they ran up the hill. Harry fell over, clutching his head tightly.
"It burns!" Harry muttered. Hermione grabbed the map, and saw five dots now, by the Shriek Shack. There was Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Kiara Draten, Peter Pettigrew, and Tom Riddle's dots.
"Harry! Theres a dot that says Tom Riddle!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Then thats Voldemort!" Harry mumbled, standing back up. Mystina apparated behind them. But she pointed her wand at herself, and whispered, "Camoflaugia", and she turned 100% camoflauge. Camoflaugia is a very complex spell, and its a rarity for any wizard or witch to successfully cast it.
"Wait, but this doesnt make sense." Hermione said, continuing to stare at the map.
"Whats wrong with it?" Colin asked.
"Well, its only us four here, but it says someone else is behind us..." Hermione mumbled. All four of them turned their head quickly, but there was no one.
"What name does it say?" Harry asked, walking over.
"...Mystina Valeth....does that sound familiar to you?" Hermione read.
"....Thats that girl that was hanging all over Snape. But why would she be out here? Plus, why cant we see her?" Ron asked.
"Who knows? Maybe she has an invisibility cloak....or maybe the map is going wierd or something." Harry said.
"But...theres a list of wizards and witches who own an invisibility cloak in "The Unseen Eye"! And she is NOT listed as one!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Am I listed?" Harry asked. Hermione nodded.
"Honestly, Hermione! All you do IS read!" Ron exclaimed.
"Lets just concentrate on helping them..." Colin muttered, shivering from the cold.
"Yeah." Harry agreed. They began to continue, but there was a noise behind them. They all turned around again, yet, no one was there.
"Huh? But...oh...what?" Hermione said, looking at the map. Ron walked over and glanced at it.
"Lets see...the dot of Mystina Valeth is coming towards us, much faster..." Ron muttered, glancing around.
"But there is nobody!" Colin exclaimed. Then, it was so odd, it seemed like the scenary around them, grabbed Hermione. She screamed, and the camoflauge came off.
"Yes, I am that lady that was hanging all over Snape." Mystina said, smirking.
"Let go! Why did you scare me like that? You were camoflauge?" Hermione said quickly, trying to get out of Mystina's grasp.
"Yes. I was camoflauge. I will let go in a minute, Im gunna take you somewhere. You three...follow." Mystina said with a smirk. They nodded, and followed her. Hermione still had the map clutched in her hands, and she noticed that Mystina was leading them right to Voldemort. She glanced at Harry, who glanced back. She tried mouthing it, without Mystina noticing.
"Please stop, Miss Granger." Mystina said, yanking Hermione along. They got to the top of the hill, and slowly, five people came into view. They could see Lucius and Wormtail standing off to the side, watching Draco getting ready to duke it out with someone. That someone was holding Kiara by the neck.
"Voldemort..." Harry whispered. He glanced at them.
"Thank you Myssstina." Voldemort hissed. She walked over by him.
" I did my orders, my Lord." Mystina replied.
"Ssssso. If it isssnt the great Harry Potter, and his muggle-loving friend, and his two mudblood freindss." Voldemort said, snickering. They gulped.
A/n- CLIFFY! Sorry again for it. But ummmmm, yeah. This one was beginning to get quite long. Theres still a few more chapters, amazingly. I dont think Im writing so well with huge actions scenes, IM A FAILURE! lol. But, if ya wanna know what happens, plz review! Yeah, I promise I am making a Prequel to this. It will have Makenzie and Lucius in luv, and it will have more of a backstory of Mystina. So plz be faithful, and read that as well. This story is so much fun, its almost done, only a bit more. Once its done, I will have the first chapter of the prequel up. Once the prequel is done, I promise I will make a sequel to this. The only reason why Im making the prequel first, is so it makes more sense. Okay, I will shut up now!!
