Filling The Emptiness - Part I
"Explanations"
With Hermione leading the way, the four went through the Hogwarts corridors and to the statue of the gargoyle.
"Ok, Dumbledore always names his passwords the names of Muggle candy," Harry said. "How about. Snickers?"
"Skittles?" Hermione offered.
"Peanut M&M's," Draco said with finality.
The gargoyle sprung to the side, opening up to a winding staircase. Draco went first, Harry next, and Ron and Hermione in the rear, talking in hushed voices to each other. At the top of the staircase there was a door, slightly ajar. Draco knocked his hand on it, softly, and he heard the gentle voice of the Headmaster calling them in.
They each took a seat in a chair in front of Dumbledore's desk. He regarded them quizzically and said, "What seems to be the problem?"
Draco, who was holding the letter in his hand, pushed it across the desk and toward Dumbledore.
"Is this some sort of a hoax? Or is it the real thing?" Draco asked, showing real curiosity.
Dumbledore's eyes skimmed through the letter, and then he focused them on the four teenagers in front of him.
"This," Dumbledore began, "Is no hoax. This is the real thing, and I have known about it ever since the night Lily and James were supposedly dead. I remember what happened as if it were just yesterday."
IIt was a dark night, it was raining out and every so often, a clap of thunder could be heard, a flash of lightning could be seen. Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, Narcissa, Severus, Arabella, and Lucius were sitting in the Potter's living room, Lily with baby Harry on her lap, playing cards.
The eight of them had been best friends for a very long time, ever since their first year at Hogwarts. But since Narcissa, Lucius, and Severus were in Slytherin, they were forced to pretend to hate each other, be cruel to each other, and play mean pranks on each other.
When they had all graduated from Hogwarts, Narcissa, Lucius, and Severus were planning on spying for me, and were going to become Death Eaters. The remaining five begged them to stay, but they said it was something they were going to have to do.
When James and Lily got married, Narcissa was the Maid of Honor, Arabella was one of the bridesmaids, Lucius, Severus, and Remus were the ushers, and Sirius was the best man. When Harry was born, they were all in the waiting room, pacing nervously, waiting for the news.
Now, they all sat around the table, playing cards, and trying to act like it was a normal night.
As the clock struck 8:00, Lucius said, "Lily, James, and Harry will need to take the potion now. Lord Voldemort knows nothing of it; we did the research in private. The potion will prevent you from being killed by Avada Kedavra, but you must pretend that it had killed you, do you understand?"
James nodded, and Lily held Harry tighter in her arms, but nodded anyway. Severus produced the potion from a pocket in his robes, and handed it to James. "Just take the potion, and it will last for a good four hours, seeing as we only know Voldemort will come some time between 9:00 and midnight."
James drank the potion, then handed it to Lily, who tipped Harry's head back and poured a little of it in his mouth before drinking some herself.
"I'm sorry, James, Lily, but we are going to have to leave you now," Sirius said, one hour later.
"Lucius and Narcissa will hide you at the manor until it is time to tell Harry that you two have lived. Harry will go to your sister and her family," Remus said to Lily.
"Petunia? She hates him, you can't leave my baby with her!" Lily exclaimed, tears threatening to pour out of her eyes.
"But we have to, Lil, it's the only option," Narcissa told her. "Lucius and I will hide in the bushes then come in and get you as soon as we are sure Voldemort is gone, ok?"
Lily and James nodded again, and Harry made a gurgling noise.
"And I'll be watching Harry for you both when he comes to Hogwarts, because I'll be teaching there," said Severus, trying to console his friends.
Lily started to cry as she hugged all her friends, telling them how much she would miss them all. Then she pulled out a small pocket knife and said to them all, "Even if we never see each other again, we will always be with each other." She motioned for them to stand in a circle. "I'm going to hand around the knife, slit your palms and then pass the knife along. When we are all done, we are going to place our hands together and think of all the good times we have had, alright?"
Everyone nodded, taking deep breathes now and then, each of them fighting the tears they wanted so badly to cry. When they all had slits in their hands, they put them together, thinking of good times.
Lily thought about the day she became James' girlfriend, James thought about the day he and Lily got married, Sirius thought about when he and Remus first got together, Remus thought about how his friends hadn't left him when he told them he was a werewolf, Arabella thought about when she and Severus had to do a potions report together which led them to dating and finally marriage, Severus thought of Arabella and her wonderful smile and bright eyes, Lucius thought about the day on the train that they first met, all instantly clicking, and Narcissa thought about the baby shower her friends had thrown when she found out she was pregnant with her son, who was at the present time at the manor being taken care of by the house elves.
After at least a minute, they lifted their heads and Lily started to cry all over again, telling all her friends again how much she would miss them. Sirius, Remus, Arabella, and Severus were the first to leave, promising that they would see them again someday.
"We will come back for you," said Narcissa.
"We promise," Lucius added.
"Thanks you guys, we owe you our lives," James said, shaking Lucius' hand then pulling him into a hug.
"Yeah, thank you so much for doing this for us," said Lily, giving Narcissa a hug.
James and Lily switched places and Lily kissed Lucius' cheek and James kissed Narcissa's, then pulling them into hugs.
Noise heard outside disrupted their reunion, and Narcissa and Lucius waved, then apparated to the huge garden outside Godric's Hollow, to wait until Voldemort had gone.
Lily and James continued to play cards, acting as if nothing would happen. But of course, it did.
The windows started to rattle and the door was slammed open, revealing Lord Voldemort, clad in black, wand raised.
"Lily! Take Harry and run!" James shouted, before Voldemort hissed,
"Avada Kedavra!" and James fell to the floor, dead, or so Voldemort thought.
Lily was next; she was running through the house, trying, but not trying to escape Voldemort. She pleaded and pleaded for Voldemort to take her, not Harry, so he did, and Lily heard the words before Voldemort said them.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Lily fell to the floor, still holding Harry in her arms. Voldemort advanced on Harry, pointing his wand at him, and said the two words, quick and simple.
"Avada Kedavra."
But it didn't work. The curse backfired, hitting Voldemort square in the chest. He writhed in pain, but did not die. He backed out of the front door, clutching his chest, saying to the house, "I'll get you Harry Potter. I will." And with a swish of his cloak, he was gone.
Running as fast as they could into the house, Lucius and Narcissa ran to James and Lily's sides.
"James! Are you ok?" Lucius said to James.
"I'm fine, Lucius, is Lily?" James answered.
"I'm not sure, Narcissa went to her. NARCISSA?! Is Lily ok?!" Lucius called to Narcissa, who was in the kitchen with Lily.
"She's fine, Lucius, how's James?" Narcissa answered.
"He's fine as well. And Harry? How's he?" Lucius called back.
"Harry's doing great, except for this hideous scar on his forehead, in the shape of a lightning bolt," Narcissa said, sighing.
"Alright, let's get you guys out of here and to the manor. Hagrid is coming, he'll take Harry," Lucius said, helping James up.
Just as they were coming out of the door, Hagrid showed up on the doorstep, looking grave.
"I'm real sorry fer doing this to ya, Lily, James. But it's fer the best," Hagrid said, reassuringly, as he took Harry from Lily's outstretched arms. "I hope ter see ya again soon, now take care."
When Hagrid was gone, Lily, James, Narcissa, and Lucius apparated to Malfoy Manor, and Lucius and Narcissa showed James and Lily an area of the dungeons that had a fireplace and double bed set up. There was also a bookshelf filled with books and an owl was perched in a cage in the center of the room.
"Enjoy your stay you two, Narcissa or I will be down once every morning with food, and on Saturdays we will bring new bed sheets. I wish you could stay upstairs with us but it would be too hard." Lucius said.
And with that, they walked out of the room, closing the door behind them./I
"I remember how sad Hagrid was when he brought Harry to the Dursley's, and he couldn't stand the fact that you would have to grow up with Muggles who didn't even like you," Dumbledore concluded, looking at Harry with sympathy.
Hermione was openly crying by this time, and Ron was holding her. Draco looked intrigued by the whole issue, and Harry looked enraged.
"WHY WASN'T I TOLD THAT MY PARENTS WERE ALIVE??!! DON'T I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW??!!" he exclaimed.
"Harry, calm down!" Dumbledore said. "It just wouldn't have been safe."
Harry was breathing deeply as he backed into his chair again, and put his head in his hands.
"You four will be going to Professor Lupin's hideout tomorrow, I would suggest packing your bags and getting ready to go," Dumbledore informed them.
They nodded, and stood up to leave, and after bidding Dumbledore good bye, they walked out.
Draco walked alone back to the Slytherin Common Room, contemplating his life. His parents had lied to him, kept the Potter's in the dungeons of the house he lived in, and he hadn't known at all.
***
When Draco had finished packing for the following day, he curled up in his bed, and, thankful for having his own room, he cried. Draco Malfoy cried. And not just soft sobs, but loud cries of anguish. And the worst part of it was, he knew why he was crying. It was not because his parents had lied to him, or because he was going to have to spend a long while with Potter, Weasley, and Granger. But it was because he felt an attraction unlike any other toward Potter. A strong attraction, one of lust and desire, one he had been denying for a long time. But now it was time to face reality, and realize that he, Draco Malfoy, was in love with Harry Potter.
A/N: I understand that the characters may seem a bit OoC, but it will all work out. Things may seem unexplained, that will be explained in different chapters. Thanks to my reviewers, Anonymous, Diana Malfoy, Mandy, and Lyrics Angel. Again, please review!
Luv and peace,
