Filling The Emptiness - Prologue
"The News"
Draco Malfoy knew that his parents were hiding something from him. He had known this ever since he was young, when he had spotted his father tapping his wand on the wall and seeing the wall open up to a small passage where his father took down a basket of food and blankets deep into the dungeons. At the time, Draco was only five years old, and was a curious boy so he followed his father down the corridor and stopped when he heard hushed whispers. He couldn't hear what they said, but they sounded anxious and afraid. He could pick out his father's voice and two unknown voices, one male, one female. He heard the female start to cry and his father and the other male try to console her, so he went back up the passage and to his room, confused this.
Now Draco was fifteen years old and a fifth year at Hogwarts, and he sat at the Slytherin House Table, watching his black eagle owl soar toward him through the Great Hall. Draco felt that this owl was bringing bad news. He could sense it, almost as an instinct, and when the owl landed and stuck out his leg for Draco to take the note, Draco warily reached out for the piece of parchment, unfolding it slowly and carefully. The note was short, but he could easily recognize his father's tidy script. He took a deep breath before starting to read.
Dear Draco,
I haven't got much time, but I have so much to explain. I wish I had told you sooner, but I couldn't bring myself to. Listen to me; Lily and James Potter are alive. Your mother and I are not on the Dark Side and have been working with Severus Snape as spies. Voldemort has found out about this and he also knows that he did not successfully kill the Potters. He is after us, so we are now in hiding with them, but I cannot tell you where. Headmaster Dumbledore knows of the situation as well, and, seeing Voldemort is most likely after you also, you will be tutored privately outside of Hogwarts in the hideout of Mr. Remus Lupin. Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger will be with you also. Lupin knows where we are hiding and will bring the four of you to us when he thinks it is safe. All of this will be explained in due time, for now you will just have to trust me.
~Father
Draco felt his hands start to tremble uncontrollably, and he got up from his seat. He walked over to the Gryffindor Table. Stopping near Harry, Hermione, and Ron, he said, "Potter. Weasley. Granger. Follow me, now."
The trio seemed to know something was not right, so they stood up and followed him silently out of the hall.
Up and down the Hogwarts corridors they went, until they reached a painting of a large fruit bowl. Draco heard gasps of surprise from the three behind him when he tickled the pear in the fruit bowl, and the portrait swung open. He raised an eyebrow at them, and then followed the corridor into the kitchens, where they could talk without being disturbed.
As Draco sat down at a table, gesturing for the other three to sit down, he started to speak, without the usual malice, but in a blank tone.
"I got a letter from my father this morning," Draco said.
Three pairs of eyes stared at him, urging him along.
Draco couldn't even speak. He yanked the letter out of his pocket and thrust it towards the three teenagers opposite him. Hermione warily pulled it to her and started to read, Harry and Ron looking over her shoulder.
Ron was first to finish, and jumped up, slammed his fist on the table, and started to scream furiously.
"YOU EXPECT US TO BELIEVE THIS SHIT?! YOUR PROBABLY JUST TRYING TO LURE HARRY AWAY FROM HOGWARTS SO YOU AND YOUR DEATH EATER FATHER CAN FEED HIM TO VOLDEMORT!!!"
"Ron, calm down!" Hermione exclaimed, pulling Ron back into a sitting position, Ron wiping away spit from his mouth and glaring evilly at Draco.
Harry had just finished reading the letter, and was now staring at Draco, a look of mixed confusion and intrigue upon his tanned features. "Are you. serious?" Harry asked. "It's all true?"
Draco looked at him and nodded solemnly. "I knew they were hiding something from me, I've known a long time. I just never knew it would be something this big and important. Something that puts me and the three of you in lots of danger." Draco looked upwards and got a faraway look in his eyes, as he sat there, thinking about what exactly was going on.
"Harry! You can't believe this git! He's a sneaky Slytherin, it's all a trap!" Ron tried to convince Harry. But it wasn't working.
"Ron, I know it seems a little bit farfetched, but I believe him. It's just. something is telling me that this is true. And Ron, you have no idea what it's like to live without parents, and if mine are alive, I want to find them."
Ron sighed. "Alright, Harry, I'm with you. I still don't trust him - " Ron was cut off by Draco's voice.
"And you have a right not to. But if Dumbledore knows, then it's obviously true. Why don't we go ask him about it?" Draco said.
"I think that's a great idea," Hermione put in. "If it's not true, then we know that Malfoy and his father are up to something and we can protect you from it," she added softly to Ron and Harry.
"Ok," Harry and Ron said in unison to Hermione, as they got up from the table and followed Draco out of the kitchens and to Dumbledore's office.
