Chapter 20- Draco's Win, Lucius's Loss

Hawk woke the next morning a little dazed. She had had the most wonderful dream. Draco had proposed to her and they were getting married as soon as school ended. As she got out of bed she felt something on her left finger. When she looked down she saw her ring the she remembered that her dream was what had really happened last night.

She got up and put on her robe. 'I wonder if my fiancé is up yet. I'll just go find out, it's still early, I don't think anyone will be up yet.' And with that thought Hawk snuck out into the hallway and into Draco's room.

When she got there she found that Draco wasn't there. His bed was made and there were two notes on it. They were folded with writing on them. One said "Everyone" and one said, "Hawk". She opened the "Everyone" note first.

-----Everyone Note-----

Everyone,

I'm sorry to leave without saying goodbye. Don't worry about me and Mom, don't start running around cleaning, I'll be fine and the last time you did that, well the house was so clean you could ice skate without the skates.
Again don't worry about me and I will see you back a school guys.

Draco

-----Draco's Room---

Hawk was stunned. 'Where could he be?' She then remembered that there was another letter. She opened the one addressed to her.

-----Hawk's Letter----

My Darling Hawk,

Do not worry about me. I'll be fine. I'm going to settle things once and for all with my father. I love you and I don't want to see you hurt so I'm going to make sure that he will never bug us. I will see you at school. I will meet you in Dumbledore's office after classes the first day back. I
love you Hawk. Always have always will, see you soon honey.

Your Draco

-----Draco's Room-----

Hawk was in tears. What did he mean? She couldn't stand it any longer. She ran out of Draco's room to show everyone the notes. Maybe they would know what to do.

----Diagon Alley----

Draco was waiting for his ex-father to arrive so he could end this for good. He was pacing by the entrance when he finally saw him. His blonde- white hair pulled back into a ponytail, his green robes billowing out behind him, and his silver/black cane that hide his wand under his arm.

'What a shame, he came so dressed up, too bad his nice clothes will get all dirty with blood, his blood,' though Draco as he sneered at the older man.

"Well Draco, have you reconsidered you rash and stupid decision?" asked Lucius Malfoy.

"If you mean my most intelligent and long awaited decision of proposing to Hawk, no I haven't reconsidered and I never will. I love her and will do anything for her. Including getting rid of the thorn I have had in my side ever since I was born. I am not here to make small talk with you Mr. Malfoy, I'm here to destroy you," declared Draco as he pulled out his wand.

"And how, pray tell are you going to do that? You have not yet graduated from Hogwarts and you do not become of age until after you graduate. You can't use your magic outside of Hogwarts until you are of age or graduate, so how are you going to destroy me?" asked an amused Lucius.

"Easy, for you see, I don't have to rely on my magic to destroy you. All I need is one thing, a dementor," said Draco. This made Lucius go pale for a second before he could regain his composure.

"And how will you get one here without putting yourself in danger, dear Draco?"

"Simple, all I need is this..EXPECTO PATRONUM!" and with that came his very own Patronus and it was a hawk. "I got Harry to teach me the Patronus Curse a while back. When it turned out to be a hawk, I knew that I had to make Hawk mine. Now goodbye Mr. Malfoy, I will never have to deal with you again," at that, Draco's hawk perched on his shoulder and a dementor came out from behind him.

The dementor went over to Lucius and pulled back its hood. It was preparing to give Lucius its kiss, and in doing that, the dementor would rid Lucius of his soul and take his body to Azkaban. Lucius pulled out his wand and tried to produce his own Patronus, something he had never been able to do.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM" but is was no use, the dementor came down and delivered his kiss to Lucius, thus ridding the world of the last Death Eater and Draco of his no account father. The dementor took Lucius' body away and Draco's Patronus disappeared into the wind. He had finally won against his father.

He walked away satisfied. Now he had to get to Hogwarts to meet Hawk, finish off the year and marry Hawk. This is going to be the best year of his life. Now he had to make sure that everything went his way so it would be the best year of his life. He went to the Floo Network center so that he would make his rendezvous with Hawk with time to spare but stopped by the flower shop and got his fiancée a bouquet for red and white roses to make up for the scare he must of given her. 'I hope she isn't too worried. Well these should help,' thought Draco as he stepped into the green fire that would transport him to Dumbledore's office and his love.

A.N.- Okay, so Lucius is now gone and Draco has to finish off his school year before he can marry Hawk and he has to make sure nothing goes wrong.
Well, thank you for being patient with me and I'll try to get the next
chapter up soon. Choa readers!!!!!!!!!!!
