Chapter 3 leaving
He sat up, forgetting where he was. He looked around and saw the familiar drapes of his bedroom in the manor, green and silver, just like at school... but something was different. Someone was there. He looked like someone he knew but couldn't tell who it was
"Who are you?" The person turned around and he caught a flash of smiling emerald green eyes...
Then he woke up and looked around for someone who wasn't there. 'Damn Potter. Now you're annoying me in my dreams too. I can't get away from you even in my dreams. Get the fuck out of my head!!!'
Harry Potter had been the bane of his existence since he half defeated the Dark Lord 15 years before, but since he had been at Hogwarts Harry Fucking Potter and the 'Golden Trio' had upstaged him every year, and that was a big deal for his Father, who would cast the Cruciatus curse just because Potter would get the better of him.
Draco didn't believe in everything that Voldemort did, but he hated Potter with a vehemence only rivalled by Potters hatred for Lucius and Voldemort.
He lay back down to go to sleep when there was a knock at the door. "Draco get up... there is someone here to see you."
"Yes Father," 'Fuck I didn't notice what time it was.' He looked at the clock 'Fuck, its 8:30 already. Damned Potter ruining my beauty sleep and making me late.'
He got up and dressed into black robes to see the thing itself, Voldemort.
"Ah, there you are Draco, I wasss ssstarting to think that you weren't coming. Now, ssstraight to bussinessss... you will become a Death Eater, yesss?"
Draco nodded, "Yes Sir."
"Good. Lucius assssured me that you would be asss loyal asss he. Isss that true?"
Draco nodded again "Yes my Lord."
"Good, I would like you to ssstart for me when you go back to Hogwartsss, although you won't be a Death Eater till you're 17. It iss a good thing to have more ssspiesss in the muggle loving foolsss domain. Do you agree?"
"Yes, my Lord."
"You may go for now Draco but any information you have for me, give to your father. He will make sssure I get it."
"Of course, my Lord." And with that Draco turned and walked from the room with as much dignity as he could muster.
Although he would not admit it to anyone, he was terrified of Voldemort and he knew that no one talks out of turn in front of him or any Death Eater. And you never tell anyone, except someone like Dumbledore or Harry 'Golden Boy' Potter, that you will never be a Death Eater and would rather work with the Order of the Phoenix.
He knew he would have to tell Dumbledore that he can't stay at the Manor for much longer without someone getting suspicious as to why he cringes when he hears the muggles being tortured as he passes the dungeon.
He went back to his room and took out his potions book. He knew he was good at potions and didn't need the book but he liked to double check the facts as he did his homework. He didn't want people thinking Snape was soft on him just because he was Snapes Godson. He spent the day in his room doing all his homework before it was time for his dinner which was a silent affair between Draco and his parents. Draco watched as his father beat the house elves for the slightest thing wrong about his dinner and as his mother looked sadly at her dinner for reasons Draco had never found out. He guessed his father beat her like he did Draco when he did something wrong or if Lucius was feeling particularly vindictive some days.
Like today.
"So, Draco," he said in a deceptively calm voice. "Have you been practising the spells you were taught to aid our Master?"
"Yes, Father." He hadn't because he didn't like to torture, maim, kill or manipulate people using magic.
"Show me." He looked around "Blinky!" he yelled for the house elf he hated the most.
"Yes Master," she appeared almost instantly. "How can Blinky help Master?"
"Draco," He invited him. He looked at the elf trying to keep his mask of coldness and cruelty up whilst looking like he enjoyed what he was doing.
"Crucio!" He said with as little feeling as he could manage.
The elf started screaming as if she were dieing, until Draco lifted the curse off and looked at his father grinning evilly.
"That was OK Draco but I don't think you've been practicing well enough. Crucio!"
Draco felt like there were flames coursing through his body like knives whilst giants were squeezing his bones. He couldn't scream and show weakness in front of his father because he knew it would get worse. It felt like forever but his father finally released the curse's hold on him.
"I suggest you practice a bit more from now on, Draco. I will test you later."
"Of course, Father." He said trying not to let his feelings show themselves in his voice. Draco knew he had to get away and that the only way out was too seek sanctuary from Dumbledore. It was the last chance he had before going back to Hogwarts to get away from his father because Lucius had a fancy meeting to go to at Bellatrix Lestranges hideout.
Draco went back to his room to study before he beg...no asked Dumbledore to let him stay somewhere safe. He would never beg anyone for anything. He may not agree with anything his father did or said but he still had the pride his father had taught him.
He was a patient person and he waited, quietly reading his charms essay while he waited.
Finally the clock struck twelve and Dumbledore, punctual as ever, appeared in the fire.
"Ah, Draco, it looks like you want to ask me something." There was a twinkle in his eye.
"How do you – no never mind I don't want to know, but yes I need to ask you to take me away from here. People are getting suspicious and Lucius is the most suspicious of my training in the Unforgivables because I never hurt any of the elves very bad and have never killed one.
"He thinks I'm holding back and is punishing me more frequently as if he is trying to beat the part of me that doesn't want to do this out."
"I see. You do know that there is only one safe place you can go right now, don't you?"
"Yes, I know that the only safe place is Number 12 and yes, I know who will be there in a few days but it is safer somewhere overrun with Weasleys and the Golden Trio than here with my Father, Voldemort and lots of Death Eaters, wouldn't you agree?"
"Yes, I'm afraid I would but leave in 10 minutes with your school things and some clothes so I can go and talk to them first, OK?"
"That is perfect. Thank you Professor. I don't know how I would've survived this long without telling someone from the Order everything. Someone who would actually believe me."
"Draco, you've been giving us good information for the last year without anyone finding out about you. Not even Severus. You're an excellent actor, but I think you acted too well around Harry, Hermione and Ron. You may have to give them some time to get used to the idea."
"I know. I think I will have to as well."
"Yes, well I should be getting to Number twelve to let them know you're coming. Don't forget... wait ten minutes."
And with that, Dumbledore disappeared from the fire. Draco couldn't believe it. Ten minutes and he would be gone from the Hell Hole he had lived and been tortured in forever.
He went around the room looking for anything he could live without. He grabbed his trunk with his schoolbooks, quills, ink and parchment and school robes in it, then placed some of his better robes and muggle clothes in. he may have been leaving the Manor but he still had some decorum. He grabbed his Nimbus 2001 and stood in front of the fire and waited for exactly ten minutes from the time Dumbledore had left and flooed to Number Twelve Grimmauld Place.and on to the reviwers
