Chapter 3: Behind the Door
The frightened house elf entered Draco's quarters as quietly as possible. Draco, sensitive to sound, noticed there was someone in the room, and turned around smiling. The sight that met him caused him to frown.
"What do you want, you pustule slime bag? I told you to stay with Sorceress Gen."
"M.Master " the house elf quivered, "Sorceress Gen would like to have a word with you. She requests your presence in the dungeon."
"What the bloody hell does she want? I gave her the patients."
"Master, don't be angry with Flo, she is only the messenger. However, Master, if I might say."
"Well out with it!"
"Master, she has found the door, and has asked many questions that Flo is not permitted to answer."
"Thanks for the heads up. Don't worry about her, I will take care of it."
"As you wish, Master."
As Flo turned to leave, she caught sight of an evil smirk on her Master's face. It unnerved her, but all she could do was wonder what new evil her Master was planning.
Malfoy walked into the next room where Blaise was seated.
"My friend, it is time!"
"Malfoy, have you gone off the deep end? Sorceress Genevieve is here, and you want to move along in your plans for world domination?"
"I love the fact that you question my authority, Blaise. However, the answer is yes. We begin to make our move today, using only tactics the Dark Lord used. Now go, and begin the work while I attend to some minor business."
With that the two men parted ways and Draco went off to the dungeon. He figured she had already tried to open the door to save the poor man's life, but unluckily for her, she would learn that his life was far from saving.
He burst through the door.
"Darling, you called for me."
"I'm sorry, I called for the Master of the manor, NOT some pervert that calls me dear."
"Oh, I must be mistaken. Now, what is it that you want?"
"Like you don't already know! I know the elf told you she was too scared to tell me what was behind this door, so I sent her to you. Now, tell me, who is behind this door?"
"He is my prisoner, an evil that needs to die. Don't worry about him; the world is better off this way. Heal the soldiers, they need your help."
"Please let me heal him, I don't care how evil he is!"
"You are an angel, you know that. You really want to heal the most evil man in the world?"
"What are you talking about? The most evil man in the world is the Dark Lord, you can't tell me you have him locked behind this door."
"Well yes, my dear, that is exactly what I am saying. All of the men that you treated were my soldiers, each one helped me bring down the Dark Lord."
"Then, why do you treat these heroes like prisoners of war? More importantly, why doesn't the ministry take the Dark Lord, and destroy him?"
"Because the ministry doesn't know I have him, and I plan to keep it that way until he is dead."
"Draco, I can't believe it. I never thought that you wanted to bring down the Dark Lord."
"Again, you have not been listening to me, darling."
"Yes, I have, but I just couldn't believe that you were the Lord of such a dark manor. However, now I see it's because you are housing the Dark Lord. So, in a way, he does reside here."
"ARG!"
"What?"
"Your still not listening, are you? It's you Gen; it has always been you. You have made me into the man I am. I am no longer evil, I am back of the side of good."
"You can't be back, at least no to me. You sent me to hell and back! If it weren't for you, I would still have my family! I would have rather died than live to loose everything dear to me!"
"You mean you would have rather died that night?"
"Yes."
"I would have never killed you, ever. Even before we went out, I was drawn to you. Genevieve, darling, I love you, and I always have."
Loud hacking and coughing could be heard coming from behind the door.
"Let me at least take the coughing away, I can't bear to hear it!"
"Sorry dear, but he must stay behind that door. Even though he is dying he still has the power to kill us. Now, would you like some dinner? You must be starving after all the healing you did."
"Well, I am hungry. Do I have to eat with Pansy? She is just a little too grotesque to have to eat with."
"A beauty spell backfired on her. I don't want to look at her either. So, let's not eat with her. Follow me."
With that, Draco walked Gen into the elaborate and colorful dinning room, which just happened to be set for two.
