Melody's POV:
"MELODY! MELODY! M-E-L-O-D-Y!"
I snap my eyes open and glance at my clock, it's half seven in the morning for Christ's sake and I had only just returned from my encounter with that man and Rodolphus!
"Melody Riddle you get your arse down here NOW!" my father bellowed again.
With a sigh I slipped out of Draco's arms with out waking him and then I quickly kissed him and stomped out of the room and down the stairs into the gallery below where my father was stood impatiently tapping his foot. I was shattered, my hair was a complete state and I was in a very bad mood, so was my father by the looks of things, well this was going to be an interesting show down, I was in no mood for games.
Without even a single word, my father grabbed me roughly and dragged me from the gallery and into the corridor with my scowling still ringing in his ears. Then he dragged me for at least 5 minutes until we landed noisily outside my mother's and Rodolphus's private annex. My father banged violently on the door.
No less than a second later did Rodolphus answer half dressed and obviously still half a sleep.
"Master!" he yawned and bowed deeply.
"Shut up Lestrange and fetch Bellatrix!" spat my father, instantly he obeyed and my mother appeared at the door, looking like a mirror image of me, her hair was also everywhere as she was also NOT impressed at being woken.
"Well Melody†you now may explain to your mother and me where exactly you have been for the past" my father looked at his watch, "seven hours."
"Father what on earth are you talking about?" I snapped. He glared at me.
"After Draco and you had finished in the garden we expected you both to come back to the reception room but you didn't. I have been up half the night looking for you both! For Christ sake Melody anything could have happened to you!" he roared almost manically.
"I-I was in bed." I said glancing sideways to my mother who – by the look on her face knew exactly where I was.
"IN BED! And where was Draco?" he asked.
"I-In bed." I said again.
"YOUR LYING TO ME MELODY! DRACO IS NOT IN HIS ROOM, LUCIUS HAS CHECKED!" he bellowed. Was my father being particularly slow today or something?
"I-I know he was with me." I said my cheeks going a violent shade of red.
"What in bed?" asked my father the situation still not dawning on him yet. I nodded. "And what were you DOING?" he asked,
CHRIST ALMIGHTY! Was he being slow on purpose? Or was he being a typical father and embarrassing me? I just looked at him, well what did he expect? A full account? Then it hit him, the idiot I swear, how slow can you get?
My father was obviously in a state of fatherly shock – his little girl and all that, so Rodolphus bent down and hissed,
"Get out of here quick Melody before he explodes, Bella and I will take care of him, and also not a WORD to your father about beforeâ€go quickly."
So I slipped silently back down the corridor, yearning to see Draco again. What on EARTH is my father on at all! Waking me up in the middle of the night (well very early in the morning), and asking idiotic questions! I mean COME ON! I arrived back in my room to find a very anxious – (and extremely gorgeous) Draco waiting for me.
"Melody! Where have you been?" he asked and pulled me towards him, I twined my arms around his neck giggling,
"Where you worried about me Draco?" I asked softly in his ear. He laughed also kissing my neck romantically,
"What do you think?" he whispered huskily turning me to golden syrup, but suddenly I heard footsteps outside on the landing, and a shadow flickered underneath the door. Draco and I frowned at each other, the atmosphere in the room had dropped, I started to shiver and frost formed on my lips. Ice coated the walls and windows – it was like the whole world was freezing. Then a huge cloud of mist appeared in the room glowing eerily, I reached out a hand to touch to it†Instantly there was a blinding flash of white light and I was thrown from the room and into his waiting arms. There was an other flash and I found myself in my father's dungeon, where he keeps his capturers for torture and so forth.
I looked up and gazed into his huge round angelic eyes, I found that I couldn't breath.
He held me close to his chest and closed his eyes; his hair which flowed freely around his shoulders was silver and shined like moonlight. Around his neck he wore a key on a silver chain. His lips and eye lashes were covered in a thin layer of frost and his skin was as white as snow. I began to cry, I had no idea why but I suddenly felt a deep ache in my chest that made me want to weep.
"Dry your eyes"
I looked up at him; he had a voice that sounded like the murmur of the waves and the chiming of a thousand silver bells.
"Who are you?" I asked again this time I knew that he would answer me,
He smiled at me,
"I don't really need to answer that question do I?" He whispered and then he wiped my tears away with his hand. I jumped at first, thinking that his touch would be ice cold, but it wasn't. It felt as though he had captured the last desperate rays of sunlight in his presence, - this sunlight warmed his eyes, making a smile reach into my heart.
I leant towards him, feeling his breath on my face and attempted to kiss him, but he placed a finger on my lips and whispered,
"Your heart has been claimed by another,"
He was right of course. And this made a fire burst to life inside of me, I had been rejected and I didn't like it one bit, so I tried to pull away from him, but his hold was strong.
"Why are you so angry with me?" he whispered. I didn't answer, I didn't know myself, and it just hurt.
"What are you doing here?" I said demanding an answer. "You don't belong hereâ€you'reâ€you're†I KNOW WHO YOU ARE! OH MY GOD!" I screamed and that's when he got angry.
"Melody, Melody, MELODY!"
I opened my eyes and saw Draco staring worriedly down at me,
"What happened?" I asked croakily.
"You fainted sweet heart, are you alright?" asked Draco,
"Did you see it? DID YOU? The mist and the light and I was thrown into the dungeons, it was HIM Draco, it was HIM!"
"What in God's name are you talking about? What mist? What light? Melody you just returned from your father and fainted, I think you were dreaming"
"I WASN'T, OH MY GOD DRACO YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME!"
"I think I will take you to your father"
"NO! Draco I am telling the truth! It was†it was†I have GOT to show you, COME ON!" I screamed and dragged him up, I had no idea where I was going, but I did have one clueâ€Silver glass. "Look for silver glass." That's what Rodolphus told me. Then it clicked, I knew where silver glass wasâ€I skidded to a halt.
"Come on we are going to Hogwart's." I said to Draco,
"What! Hogwart's? Why?" he asked bemused.
"Draco, remember when Harry got the philosophers Stone form the mirror of Erised? Well that mirror was made of silver glass, and then we will be able to kill him!"
"Who? Kill who? Shouldn't we get your father to come to, and at least some deatheaters?"
"Draco please, use you brain, do you REALLY think that they are going to let father and an army of deatheaters into Hogwart's? Do you know what? Just forget itâ€I will go myself." I said and appariated into what I hoped would be my Grandfather's study.
Tom's POV;
"My Lord! MY LORD!" I heard hurried footsteps and my study door burst open, Draco tumbled in,
"Draco! What's the matter?" I say aghast springing up. "Where is my daughter?"
"She's gone to Hogwart's, to find the mirror of Erised, and kill the person behind it, I couldn't stop her. Who is she talking about Tom? Who is she trying to kill?"
I just looked at Draco, She had gone to try and KILL him, and he was already DEAD! OH MY GOD! SHE was going to die; even I am scared of him! I ran my hand through my hair thinking rapidly, an invasion of Hogwart'sâ€noâ€I need something discreetâ€I will have to open my diary again, maybe then we have a chance, and my former self called get to Melody in twice the time†I can't believe she has done this
"Draco do you have ANY idea how much danger she's in? Do you know who lurks behind that mirror waiting for her? And waiting to destroy the last heir of slytherin?"
"No My lord" he said croakily,
"Godric Gryffindor, that's who, I have killed him once, and now I need to wipe him from the face of the earth once and for all, other wise she will die†God help us all, my dynasty will be ruined and everything will fall"
Author's note; there you go, its Godric Gryffindor, I will update soon, to unlock Melody's fate, hehehehehehehehe.
