Chapter 10

"Lucius Malfoy is on his way." Dumbledore looked up from the stack of papers he was reading at the sound of Snape's voice. "It seems that someone from my house sent him a letter saying his son was gone."

"Well, Severus we all knew we would have to deal with him sooner or later."

"Headmaster... he has a Dementor with him."



Harry was zooming around the air on his broom. Viper had convinced him to get outside and show her why every boy in his dorm had a broom.

"See Viper!" He yelled in excitement. "Flying is fun!"

"I know that Harry." She watched him amused by his antics. "But I still don't see why you need a broom." Harry swerved in midair and came floating down to Viper's seat on top of Hagrid's hut.

"How would you fly without one?" Harry looked at her quizzically.

"Like this." Viper stood up and stretched her arms out. She crouched into the hut before springing into the air the momentum of her passage had Harry's hair whipping around his face. When she hit the peak of her jump huge leathery black wings sprung from her back. With a snapping sound they opened like twin parachutes and she shot upward. Harry shot after her in his broom barely being able to keep up.

"That was so awesome!" Viper turned around spinning gracefully until she hit the ground with a light thump. The wings melted into her back until there was no sign that they ever existed.

"Harry Potter! Out playing while someone from your school has been kidnapped? How very unhero like of you." Harry and Viper both spun to face the direction the voice was coming from. Harry knew the man on sight.

Then he froze when he noticed the shape behind him. 'Oh please let that Dementor be a trick.' He knew it wasn't a trick though because he felt it suck in all the happiness from before. Viper on the other hand was staring at the Dementor as if she would like to play with it.

"What is your pet's name?" She called out to Lucius. Lucius looked at her with scorn.

"He is not my pet you idiot. He is a Dementor and he is going to help me take away that useless headmaster." Lucius talked as if he were speaking to a five year old. Harry made a move to run up and hit him but Viper caught him with an arm pulling him close.

"Let me deal with this." She whispered into his ear. Harry nodded imperceptibly and she felt him relax. She walked up closer to Lucius until they were only about a foot apart.

"You must be Lucius Malfoy." He inclined his head to show that she was right. "In that case." Viper grabbed him by the shoulders, forced him to follow her into a kneeling position, held him down and latched herself onto his neck tearing into the delicate skin there. Harry stood dumbstruck. Viper stood back up wiping the blood from her mouth.

"Thanks I needed that."

"Vampire!" Lucius gasped his neck trickling blood from two pinpricks.

"Hardly, besides even if I was a vampire I could find people who tasted much better than you." Lucius lost consciousness at that point. The Dementor started towards Viper taking it's hood off as it went. Viper looked it up and down.

"Wow, you are ugly when you are angry." The Dementor made a hissing sound from between it's horrible lips. "Oh no sugar not on the first date." Viper jumped up and landed a spin kick right on the Dementor's lips knocking it down for a second.

"Kebab!" Out from the forbidden forest a 6 foot tall obviously male skeleton lumbered out towards them. It held a huge broadsword and had scraps of clothing on it as if someone had tried to make it seem human.

It's eyes glowed an eerie green. Harry stumbled backwards when the skeleton came close to him but he was ignored completely as he tromped by en route to the Dementor.

"Kill it." Viper said calmly before reaching down and slinging Lucius Malfoy over her shoulder. "Then go back to the forest." She looked over at Harry.

"Come on darling, I have a present for Dumbledore." Numbly Harry stood up and followed her all the while hearing the thin screams of the Dementor as the skeleton methodically cut it to pieces.



"Candy Apples!" Usually saying the comical passwords for Dumbledore's office brought a smile to his face, unfortunately this was not one of those times. Viper followed Harry into Dumbledore's inner sanctum and dropped Lucius unceremoniously into one of the chairs.

"You have an interesting way of dealing with Dementors Viper. Do you have them in your world?" Dumbledore turned from his view at the window and folded his hands over his stomach.

"No, but we do have specters. Which are kind of like those things that you have." She nodded out the window. Lucius moaned and all eyes looked to him.

"We had better get him to the medical wing." Dumbledore lead the way with Viper telling him what she had done.

"Now that I have blood from a family member in me I can trace Draco."

"Let's just hope this works." Dumbledore sighed. "Or this might spell disaster."


Draco awoke once again to complete darkness. 'I wonder what woke me up this time.' He heard it again, cloth rustling against stone.

"Who is there?" Draco called into the darkness.

"Ah our princely guest is awake." Draco cringed as he heard the tenor voice. "It is time for you to tell us where Viper is."

"I don't know any Viper, so you can just let me go." Draco got the courage to sneer.

"Oh, good. You are trying to protect her. That will make this much more fun."

"Too bad I am always such a killjoy." A familiar female voice stunned the whole room. 'That is the one who kept talking to me in my mind!' Draco lost the content of the information as the voices started talking in a language that he never had the chance to learn.

Viper followed the blood link between her and Draco. Over plains, cities and oceans she flew. She was too high for anyone on the ground to see her and too fast for planes to realize what they saw. She felt him getting closer as she landed on a little wooded island with a mountain on the northeast corner of it.

She checked her weapons one last time before plunging into the forest to the forbidding mountain. It didn't take her long to find the entrance since the person who chose it had been planning on her finding it. Down a dark tunnel that sloped ever downwards she began to hear voices.

She turned to the left wall and ran her hand over some rocks trying to find the switch. The door slid open and showed her a rather lurid view. The room was draped in red cotton, a large bed stood in the middle of the farthest wall. It was the only furniture in the room. On the bed lay a boy naked and chained to the wall behind the bed. In front of the bed stood a figure, one she knew well.

"Oh, good. You are trying to protect her. That will make this much more fun." She saw the effect of Uasi's voice on the boy she knew she had to intervene.

"Too bad I am always such a killjoy." Uasi spun around and glared at the one he once loved with his yellow green eyes.

"You always ruin my fun!" He switched to Dark Elvish to make sure his bait couldn't understand him. Viper stuck out her tongue at him.

"That is what I am good for." Uasi launched himself at Viper dodged at the last second pulling out a wicked looking dagger.

"Oh you want to play like that?" Uasi taunted drawing his sword. "There was a time when you would play with your hands instead." He lunged towards the bed. He never made it even halfway. Uasi staggered back as Viper's dagger lodged itself into his heart.

Black blood flowed freely over his tunic and onto the floor. He looked up at Viper in disbelief, her face was unreadable. He could feel the darkness in her.

"I never wanted to kill you Uasi. You should have known me better than to try and kill an innocent." There was more sorrow than he expected in her voice. He knew he had to get back to her and find out why the High Deagron would send him after her, his own best friend, and then he knew no more.

A/N: Don't worry this story is no where near done! Unless you want it to be...in that case I can always stop here.
