~*Aww thank you all soooo much for the lovely comments!!~
Lucius sound found out that Draco wasn't as unskilled in sword fighting as he
believed, he blocked every blow he threw at his son with ease but yet Lucius did the same
to Draco. How long they parried and advanced no one had an idea, the sound of steal
against steal echoed in the white stone room and the heavier breathing of Lucius due to
his age could be heard every once in a while.
Lucius starting to feel a little panicked but not showing it pretended to go for his
sword arm but as Draco went to block his sword he took a swing at Draco's other arm
leaving a large gash on his wrist. Draco's eyes widened and he dared not show pain in
front of Lucius, with more speed then he knew he could he began to attack his father
much more aggressively then before.
"Ahh son this is rather impressive..don't think you can beat me do you? Who trained
fighting in all aspects with Lord Voldermort...he's very disappointed in you, he thought
so much more of you then..well this.." he gestured to the Weasley's with his other hand,
Ginny watched them with horror.
Draco thrust his sword at the man before him with lightening speed.
"You think I care? Besides if you call me "son" again their wont be much left of you for
Lord Voldermort to be impressed with anymore.." he threatened keeping up with every
move his father made, the screeching of steel against steel made the spectators wince but
not blink. They knew this was between Draco and Lucius but they wanted to help.
"Who will raise you IF you kill me?...your pathetic mother is dead...all your relatives hate
you, the Weasley's couldn't afford to keep you under their roof and Potters got no place
to go either...all the Slytherin's despise you because of that slut of a girlfriend you keep
defending.." he laughed, as he laughed Draco, in anger, threw his sword against his
fathers sword hand slicing his pale fingers with a sickening noise. As the sword clattered
to the ground Draco kicked it across the room far from Lucius's grasp. The sound of the
blood from Lucius's sliced fingers collecting in a pool below him sounded like heavy
rain.
Draco pressed the sharp edge of his sword against his fathers neck letting a small
amount of blood trickle down his neck.
"On your knees..." he said coldly. For the first time in his life Draco saw intense fear in
his "fathers" eyes...for once Draco was in control. Lucius slowly fell to his knees, the
blood from his hand soaking his robes.
"I know if I don't kill you now I will regret it for the rest of my life..and you will cause
more harm.." Draco started.
"Draco please!" Lucius said, sounding more like a coward then ever before, Draco cut
him off with his cold stare.
"Shut up...all my life all you've done is try and scare me into joining you and
Voldermort..well no more...Arthur Weasley may have given his family his fur..but you
father did not give me your hideous scales.." with that he thrust the sword into his fathers
chest, Lucius's eyes widened and he coughed trying to get air, but as Draco removed the
sword from his chest it shone red in the light, Lucius then fell to the floor dead. Draco
looked away as the blood began to spread through the room, he threw the sword onto the
floor and went to Mr. Weasley. Ginny ran over to him throwing her arms around him then
checking her father pulse.
"He's alive!!" She said ecstatic that her father had a chance now.
"What are we going to do about the rest of the Death Eaters though?" Harry asked
helping Ron lift up his father draping one of his arms on each of their shoulders.
"We're going out the other door...Hopefully there's enough of us with wands to take them
down by surprise.." Draco said quietly, he couldn't believe he just killed someone..though
it was the most hated man he knew (and that was mainly by himself) he still took
someone life. Their was no sense of regret in Draco's head, just shock that someone
could drive him as far as to kill someone but if he didn't kill Lucius...all his friends would
be dead now.
~*Hogwarts*~
Draco sat beneath the tree by the lake, the same tree Ginny had been crying under,
the same tree where she'd experienced the red hot pain of the dragon scale necklace, but
he sat there alone watching the sunset.
It had been two weeks since he'd taken his fathers life, and now the seasons we're
rapidly changing, in small wafts his breath turned to steam in the chilly air and already the
Lake steamed into the cold. The leaves were getting crisp and were falling even as he sat
on the cold grass, Draco wanted winter to come, anything that reminded him of fall was
horrible.
As he sat watching the sky change from pale blue, to misty purple and a light pink
he reflected on everything that had already happened to him, and the school year wasn't
even close to being over yet.
He'd fallen in love with someone he'd never thought possible, risked everything
to be with her, then was tricked to believe that she had cheated on him by his Mother
using a polyjuice potion and one of his fathers drones. Then he'd been unreasonably cruel
to the girl of his dreams, not noticed when she got kidnaped, with the help of two other
people he'd never thought he would team up with he'd saved her entire family...then he'd
killed the man he knew to be his father for so many years. After leaving his mansion
they'd hexed only a couple more Death Eaters and managed to get to the local village
without anymore problems, as quickly as they could they got an owl to Dumbledore who
sent for them to take a train back to Hogwarts.
Even though he was basically done thinking over the events in the recent weeks,
his train of thoughts reached a dead end as he felt someone sit beside him closely. He
looked over and smiled to see Ginny, looking normal as ever looking him back in the
eyes.
"I never really thought of you as the romantic watch-the-sunset type of guy.." she said
letting him drape his arm around her shoulder. He watched her smiling still letting
himself play with a strand of her silky red hair.
"People can surprise you...you've all people should know that.." he said, his eyes caught
her fingering the dragon scale necklace happily.
"I know I already have but Draco I have to thank you for saving me..and my entire family
again...I'll probably be thanking you for every day of my life.." she said looking away
from him briefly watching the sun sink down on the horizon.
"That among other things.." he laughed quietly, Ginny laughed hitting him in the leg
gently.
"But you know I'd do anything for you Ginny...if I had to I'd do it again.." he said
stroking her cheek with the back of his hand.
"Hmm..I think I'll remember this sunset forever.." Ginny whispered. Draco raised an
eyebrow.
"Why's that?" he asked.
"Because it's the one where the Weasel admitted that she would always be in love with
the dragon.." She smiled, Draco smiled before he kissed her like he wanted to for so
long. As the moon rose up into the sky Draco silently agreed that that was the sunset was
the one he'd remember forever.
~*Yes unfortunately this means...its over! I know *tear* my labor of love is finished..if you want a sequal
(i dont know why u would but hey u ppl are reading this which is WAY more then i expected) tell me..
Now a thank you to all my beloved commenters!
