Enemies and a Meeting
It has been three days since Harry's interview and today was the court date. Fear gripped my stomach, as I got ready. I pulled on a black pant business suit and pulled my hair into a bun. I walked out of my room as I pulled my shawl around my face.
As I walked down the hall I could see Snape going out of his room as well. When he saw that I was coming he paused and waited for me. A smile came to my lips as I came to his side.
When I saw the solemn look on his face again I thought of my fear. I did not think that Harry was ready to see our uncle. I truly did not think even I was ready to see that man. I knew I hated him more then I even hated my father. I did not know if I would be able to control my anger when I saw him.
Snape seemed to notice my mood and turned to me making us stop down the hall from Dumbledore's office. "What is the matter?" he asked staring into my eyes. He seemed to realize over the summer that I showed all my emotions in my eyes. So he always stared into mine. But every time I looked into his eyes I felt a pull in the back of my mind that I never truly understood so I always looked away.
"I do not think I am ready to see that man. I do not even think Harry is ready to see him. Too much can go wrong today. And I am sure that something is going to happen. But I do not know what", I said slowly turning toward him. He smiled.
My heart seemed to stop when I saw that smile. It was the first time I ever seen him smile before. Suddenly I realized that I would do anything to see that smile again.
"Do not worry. Everything will be fine. Nothing can happen. I will there with you even it doses. So don't even worry." He said humor clearly in his voice. I glared playfully at him. Nodding I agreed with him. "Your right I am probably just worried about Harry but who isn't. We better hurry, we are about to be late."
He nodded and we started down to the office where we were to meet everyone before we flooed to the Court House. As we came to the door I saw Harry coming around the corner with Ron and Hermione at his side.
Harry was paler than normal. Fear clearly showing in his face. Anger tugged at my heart seeing that fear. I could tell that the same feeling came over Snape as well for he seemed to stiffen when he saw Harry.
"You ready Harry?" I asked softly to him when he came next to me. A sad smile went across at my dumb question. Of course he was not ready. Why would he be ready to see a man who beat him and other things?
Just when I was about to bend over and hug him the office door opened. Dumbledore smiled at Harry as we made our way into the office.
As we walked into the office I felt pain swim threw my left forearm. "No not now" I whispered as I clutched my shoulder. I turned to Snape and he to was holding his arm. Harry noticed my actions and turned to me.
"You can't go now Delvasa. Not when I need you " Harry said his voice pleading me to stay. I quickly reached out and pulled Harry in an embrace. As I hugged him I whispered in ear. "I will be there Harry."
When everyone had flooed to the Court House I pulled Snape close to me. Calling the shadows around us I yelled "Riddle Mansion".
When I opened my eyes again we were standing in the middle of a huge ballroom. All the furniture on the sides were covered with white covers, dust all over them. I tightened my grip on Snape's arm as I looked around. My father was sitting in the middle of the room in his throne.
His eyes were glaring at me with something in them. It was a look I had never seen before. Slowly he reached a finger up and curled it to him. With a final squeeze to Snape's hands I walked to my father.
I could not guess why he had called this meeting but all I knew was that only the inner circle had been called. I knew at once that it had to be very important for him to only the call the circle today.
When I came to in front of him I kneeled before him. "Father you called", I said politely not wanting his wrath apon me. I heard him sigh. " Daughter stand you again are the reason why we called this meeting."
I froze. I knew that I was not going to like what ever the reason was. Taking in a deep I stood up and stared into those demon red eyes.
"My lord what is the reason?" I asked not even looking at the people behind me. I put all I could into my eyes making it clear to my father that he was all that I was paying attention to.
"We have some complaints from some of the death eaters that Christmas is to long of a time for them to wait. So I called this meeting of the inner circle to have the time reduced. I believe that Old Hallows Eve will do well for them. You shall come with your chosen to the masquerade ball on the 31st that will be held at the Malfoy's. Do you agree?" He said his voice heavy with anger as if daring me to disagree. I knew at once someone forced him to make this decision.
Then my mind stopped how could someone force Voldermont to do anything. Suddenly I realized that he was now afraid of some of his men. A smile came across my face at the thought. Once again I thanked myself for the shawl.
"What ever the dark lord believes is right I shall do. I am only a servant to your will" I said and bowed. Then I heard a sneer come from behind me. I turned and saw Lucius. Draco stood to his right. When I took a closer look at him I could see that he had a black eyes and a bloody lip.
Quickly I bowed to my father and walked over to Lucius. Anger flowing burning threw my eyes. Never had I ever seen Draco with bruises or bleeding, even though I heard him talk about it I could never do anything. Now I could have his father's heart if I wanted it.
When I was inches from Lucius I could see the fear in his eyes. " What have you done with my godson?" I hissed at him my voice hollow. A shiver went threw him when he heard my voice. He looked at Draco and glared at him.
"I punished him. That is all. I have a right to hit him. He is my child", he hissed back, bravery clear in his voice. I sneered at him " Really? Did you know that if I do not bare a child that, Draco would be the heir."
Suddenly all movement stopped and all was quiet. Lucius stopped breathing and I could smell his fear. I moved closer so that I could whisper into his ear. "I can smell your fear, Lucius. And it is intoxicating." I whispered into his ear my lips brushing his ear.
He began to sweat and I could hear his heart beat. My fangs pushed threw my lips at the sound. His fear was causing the demon in me to wake. I felt my eye bleed into their demon ones.
At the sight on my eyes his fell to his knees begging me to spare him. For there were few who ever seen my eyes and lived. I turned to my father lust for his blood clearly in my eyes.
My father smiled to me and nodded. A cruel laugh escaped my lips and tears of fear began to fall from Lucius face. "From now one Draco shall be in my care. I will train him in the Dark Arts and Severus Snape will be his teacher as well. And Lucius you get to find out how it feels to have your blood on fire", I said my voice inhumanly deep and cold. Every death eater and my father shivered at my voice.
I turned my attention back to Lucius and pulled my hand above his face. "Blood to Fire", I said softly as I pulled my power into my hands. I pushed the power into his blood and his screams filled the air.
Blood to Fire was more painful than Crucio. His blood would turn to fire and burn threw his body. Blood would soon leak from his eyes and mouth. When that happens it will be only a matter of time before his heart would burst.
It is one the most pain full ways to die. There was only one more way and that was the Shadow of the Dragon Curse. And I had only used it when I was really working from my father and when I enjoyed killing people. But I had never used it since then for it was far too cruel for even me. I still had nightmares of the others I used the curse on.
When the screams from him were truly unbearable I turned to him to see that blood began to leak from his eyes and mouth. I could not stop the laugh that bubbled from my throat at the sight of his pain. I curled my fist and called my power back.
He curled into a ball when I pulled my curse back and began to weep. To see this sight it sickened me. "Never have I ever seen such a disgusting display of weakness, Lucius. I hope that your punishment will teach you a lesson. And for that sickening display I pull you out of the inner circle" my father said as he walked up to me with a satisfied look on his face.
I bowed to my father as he came. With a final look at Lucius I pulled Draco to my side and turned to my father. "My Lord, I must beg you for me to be able to leave. I was pulled away just when Potter was about to go to court. He is starting to trust me. I must leave so that I am able to be there to show my support" I said softly my head lowered not looking into my father's eyes.
I felt him press into my mind looking for something. Quickly I threw up my mental walls and showed him pictures that I wanted him to see. He seemed to not find anything so he left. "You may leave. I allow you to take Draco and raise him," he said to me and turned to the rest of the inner circle, "I hope by this display today that you all have learned never to cross my daughter. She is a powerful witch and a great prize to be won. So you may leave until the next meeting". With bows everyone began to disapparte. Just when I was about to leave I felt a bony hand curl around my shoulder.
Quickly I turned to see my father's face inches from mine. He pulled closer where I could smell the scent of blood on his breath. "I will send you letter back for that letter you sent me. I believe you are giving me to many orders my daughter. I believe next time we meet I will make sure you understand who is in charge", he said as he pulled my shawl up.
I froze fear for what he was about to do. He stopped when he revealed my lips. Quickly he crushed his lips on to mine. His lips pressing to mine so hard that blood began to slide down my chin. He shoved his snake like tongue into my mouth not even asking for entrance. He did not leave one part on my mouth untouched. When he pulled his tongue out he licked some of the blood from my lips.
With a smile his mouth covered with my blood he disapparated. When I was sure that he was gone I ran outside and threw up. Shacking with disgust I cleaned myself up and tried to stop shacking. When I was sure that I would never stop shacking a felt a strong pair of arms pull me into them.
From his scent I knew that it was Snape. It seemed that just the smell of him was able to calm me. I hung onto him as if he was my lifeline until I was sure that I was calm. When all the fear was gone I felt a sting of pain I had forgotten to heal my lips.
I pushed my thoughts from the feeling of Snape's strong arms around me and into healing my lips. When the pain was gone and I knew that me lips were healed I took in a large breath and stepped away from Snape. " Thank you." I said as I looked into his eyes.
A small smile went across his face as he looked down at me. Again a flutter went threw my heart. "Anytime you need me I told you I would be there." He said but when he saw Draco coming toward us he normal scowl went across his face. I smiled at him for it.
When Draco was next to us he smiled at me. "Thank you for what you did" he said truly thankful. I laughed at him, "I should be thanking you. I knew you could have healed those cuts. You gave me a reason to take you and punish your father. It could have gone bad but it didn't. Well if you two are ready I believe we need to go to court". And with that I called the shadow around us and yelled "Ministry of Magic Court House".
(That's it for that chapter. I know I told ya'll that I was going to put in the court scene in but I felt that scene should be it's own chapter. Plus I am not done with that scene and I am done with this one and it has been to long since my last update. So deal with it!! Well the next chapter in the court scene. So please review and please no flames. Love ya'll
