Truths...
Lucius Malfoy came as soon as he could to Hogwarts the next week. He was greeted by his only son, Draco.
"Where is this teacher that is giving you trouble boy?" Mr. Malfoy snarled as he walked along side his son.
"Down in the dungeon... she teaches Dracology."
Mr. Malfoy turned a shade whiter when he heard the word Dracology... then he looked at his son, "Lead me to the teacher boy!"
Ms. ShadowLight was grading papers when she heard the knock on the door, she glanced up and smiled, hissing a bit... "Come in, Lucius... come in Draco." Her eyes glistened as she looked down and put the parchments away.
Lucius walked in, and almost froze in his tracks when he saw Zalana ShadowLight sitting behind the desk. "Professor..." He said in his normal demanding tone.
"Call me Zalana, Lucius..." She smiled at him, "Draco, would you give us a moment in privacy?"
Although Draco didn't like the idea, and felt the uneasiness his father shown, he left the room and let the door pull to behind him. There in the hallway he ran into Harry Potter.
"What do you want Potter?" He snarled.
"Well, for one, I know how you can hear what they are saying, without being seen..." Harry began.
"Like I need your help..."
"I am offering my assistance... Draco, no need to be enemies when you are at stake for being expelled."
Draco shuddered. "I could be EXPELLED?" He thought for a moment... "What is it you want?"
"All I want for you to do is leave Ron and Hermione alone for the rest of the school year..."
Malfoy thought about that for a few minutes... "For the rest of the school year..." He said outloud.
"Yes, and in return... I will let you borrow my invisiblity cloak..."
"I knew you had something like that Potter..." Draco snarled at him. "But, it's a deal."
"I must say Lucius... that you did surprise me when you did name the child Draco, like you promised..." ShadowLight stood up and walked over to Lucius.
"I do try to keep my promises, Zalana." He said softly as she walked towards him.
"And what does he know about his mother?" She stood a foot away from Mr. Malfoy now.
"As little as possible... I assure you, he thinks she is dead."
That seemed to piss ShadowLight off, "DEAD? Dead! How dare you Lucius... I know that our pact was not to let the boy know several things, not to lead him to think that his mother was DEAD!"
Draco and Harry were over in a corner, covered in the invisiblity cloak, taking in all of the arguement. Draco looked at Harry and made a questionable look on his face.
"Zalana, I assure you that I will talk to Draco, he is a really nice boy."
"You raised him with no respect for dragons, Lucius... wasn't that too part of the pact?"
Lucius began to sweat a little. "Yes, but he shows no interest in such things as that."
ShadowLight almost roared, "NO INTEREST???" She raised her hand up to strike Lucius, and in that moment, Draco threw back the invisiblity cloak and ran up to stop them.
"Don't you DARE hit my father, you bitch!" Draco snarled. Zalana withdrew and looked at Lucius. "This is how you raised the boy?"
Mr. Malfoy took ahold of his son's shoulders and sighed. "Draco, that is no way to talk to your mother..."
