Chapter 12
She walked quickly through the castle with anticipation. She held the vile that Snape had just given her tightly in her hand. She reached the dungeons and knocked on the door.
"Come in, Hermione," said the voice.
She entered the room, "How did you know it was me?" she asked as she shut the door behind her.
"Instinct," replied Draco and he winked at her.
A small huff was heard from the corner of the room, "How sweet, a Malfoy flirting with a Muggle," Billy Flint emerged from the dark side of the room.
"You shut your mouth and come sit down," Draco glared at Billy who didn't move, "Now, or we can take this punishment up with the Ministry!"
Billy hesitated and walked over to the table in front of Draco and plopped down into the chair. He glared at Draco and over at Hermione.
Draco rolled his eyes and looked over at Hermione, "Did he give it to you?"
Her eyes didn't leave Billy's, "Yes, right here," and she handed Draco the vile.
"Right then, Mr. Flint, do you know what this is?"
"Do I look like I give a – "
"Watch your mouth boy," Draco set the vile on his desk, "Your actions yesterday towards Professor Granger and Mrs. Potter were very uncalled for. As you know, the Headmistress has given us permission to decide your punishment. We came up with one and that is where this vile comes along. Now," he picked up the vile, "it is my understanding that you believe that I betrayed your brother along with others you may think were friends."
Billy stood up, "My brother did nothing wrong, he wouldn't. Yes he was a Death Eater, but, but he never killed anyone, he told me. He just watched and," he stopped. He looked from Hermione to Draco and then down to the vile, "You are going to tell me everything. Tthat is my punishment, isn't it? It's veritaserum in that vile, right?" Draco nodded at Billy, "Well, I don't need to hear it. I want to keep my memory of my brother the way I choose. My memory is he was a decent wizard who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He did what they made him do," he stopped and turned towards the door.
Draco grabbed his wand and stopped Billy. He guided him back to the chair and binded him with silver ropes from his wand.
"This is a punishment, Mr. Flint. I am not going to just let you walk out with out receiving your punishment," and Draco walked over to Billy and looked him square in the eye, "Your brother was a monster and I am going to tell you everything."
Draco walked over and grabbed the vile. He looked down at Billy, "It's time you knew the whole truth. Everything I know about your brother. Everything I saw him do to innocent people," at that, he tilted the vile into his mouth and drank the liquid inside. He moved over and sat at his desk looking Billy straight in the eye. He didn't say anything. He felt a twinge in his stomach and felt the effects start.
"Draco, go ahead and tell Billy the truth about Marcus Flint," Hermione sat in the chair next to Billy.
"Very well, Billy, let's start with the beginning, for it happened in this very castle. He was here to watch the final match between Gryffindor and Slytherin. We had lost and he found me walking towards the dungeons. He pulled me aside...."
"Malfoy, you did a decent job out there, not good, but decent."
"Well, thanks Flint, thanks for that bit of support."
"Anytime, look, I didn't really come to lend support to the team, I came to speak with you about You-Know-Who."
"What about him Marcus?"
"I need to tell you first, I have joined them, I am Death Eater."
"I know you are Flint, my father has already informed me."
"Yes well, it was your father that told me to speak with you. He felt it would be better coming from me."
"Did he? Well, what is it."
"Graduation is approaching, you will be out of school and we would like you to become one of us. Join our army. Join us in making the wizarding world pure again."
"I , plan to Marcus."
Draco went on from there, telling of his induction as a Death Eater. How the whole time he was a spy for the Order, but keeping his secret from the followers of Voldemort. He explained all the tortures and killings of muggles and muggle-borns in detail, many of which were by the hands of Marcus Flint.
"I watched your brother perform countless of curses on innocent people just walking down the street. I heard their cries of pain. I still here them in my sleep. I watched him kill a muggle infant in its crib. We sneaked into a closet. We listened as her parents found her the next morning. We heard them crying and screaming. All he did was laugh and enjoy every moment of it. Then jumped out and proceeded to kill them."
Draco stopped and stared at Billy who had tears in his eyes and shaking his head, "I don't believe you."
"It's the truth Billy, you know it," he released him from his restraints, but he did not move. He put his head in his hands and cried. Draco looked over at Hermione who was in tears, "Are you okay?"
"Monsters, they were all monsters," she stood up and walked to a corner of the room. "So, what is your view of your brother now Mr. Flint?"
Billy looked up at Draco with tears down his face, "My brother was only doing what he had to so Voldemort wouldn't kill him."
Draco smirked and stood from his chair. He walked over to Billy and stood, staring at him, "You have just heard the whole story, and you don't believe me?"
Billy nodded.
"Okay," he looked at Hermione, "you may want to leave for this, it's...it's about your parents."
She looked at him, "No, it's alright, I want to hear it. I need to hear it."
Draco sighed and sat in the chair next to Billy, "The Death Eaters became suspicious that there was a spy among them. Snape was never expected so their targets were myself and your brother. My father cleared my name and Marcus was desperate. He was of course not a spy but they didn't know that. So, to prove himself, he captured two muggles and brought them to Malfoy Manor. I heard this was happening and notified the Order straight away. I stood there, knowing soon enough the Order was to show up. He brought them in. They were unconscious as he led them in with his wand. He landed them in front of my father who was to determine who the spy was.
"Very good Mr. Flint, very good indeed. You have retrieved the two most protected muggles against us."
Hermione gasped in the corner, "My, my parents? Malfoy?" She looked at Draco who nodded. She began to shake and sat in the chair next to her.
Draco looked back at Billy, "Your brother performed countless curses on the Granger's."
"Haven't they had enough?"
"Draco, my boy, enough is not enough until they are dead!"
Hermione began to sob.
"Then the doors burst open. Arthur Weasley, Nymphadora Tonks, Alastor Moody, Remus Lupin, Harry Potter, Kingsley Shockbolt and Ron Weasley entered the room. I moved quickly towards the Grangers and blocked them from anymore curses. My father saw me.."
"What are you doing boy? Get out of the way!"
"No father, I won't let you kill them!"
"Your brother lunged at me and we began to fight. Not with our wands but our fists. He stood quickly as did I and then a green flash of light and your brother was on the floor. Shockbolt killed him. I lunged back to the Granger's. I looked at them, they were dead. There was," Draco stopped. He looked over at Hermione who was crying harder then ever.
Draco sighed and looked back at Billy, "I am done. If I can't convince you then no one can. Get the hell out of my sight."
Billy did not hesitate, he stood and ran out of the room.
Draco sighed and moved over to Hermione, "I'm sorry, I had to tell him."
She stood quickly, "NO! Don't apologize please!" she turned and leaned her back against the wall. She fell to the floor and began to sob again.
He stared at her as she sat there crying. He didn't know what to do, what to say. She lost her mother. She lost her father. How do you console someone that lost their parents? He thought back to that night he watched his father killed by Arthur Weasley. But he was happy when his father died. Lucius Malfoy was the cause of all the Draco's troubles and rejections from real friendships. His mother, well, his mother was not much of the "nurturing" type. She was too afraid of her husband to be a loving mother. "Don't treat him like a baby Narcissa. He is a Malfoy, he can handle a few scrapes and bruises." But Hermione, she was a good, decent human being that didn't deserve to be in this much pain. He felt bad for mentioning that night. He wished more than anything that he could take it back, but it was too late. Her memories of loosing her parents were back fresh in her mind.
"Hermione, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up," he forced the words to come out of his now dry mouth. He sat next to her and put his arm around her shoulders.
She looked up at him, tears filling her eyes and streaming down her face. His heart wrenched to see her like this. He wanted nothing more than to take all the pain away from her. He wanted to protect her from all harm. He wanted to do everything in his power to keep her happy.
"Draco...." she began to speak but was cut off by Draco gently taking her face in his hands and kissing her softly on her lips.
OKAY, I hope that wasn't confusing to read. It was tricky going back and forth like that. 13 coming soon!!
