Chapter 12: To rule the world
Slowly we strode back to our room and made up a plan to steal back our wands. Oddly as it seems, Draco did somehow manage to bring his Firebolt without anyone noticing. He burst through the door to our room and ran to the closet, rummaging through while mumbling, " Where did I put it?" Abruptly he stopped his searching and turned around to face me. In his hands he held a tiny depict of a broomstick.
I was caught dumbstruck. " H-how did you make your broom small?" I managed to croak out from my amazement. He stood from the floor and walked towards me whilst my gaze still on the tiny broom.
" Mum and Dad had gotten me this for my last birthday. During my free time I attained to put one spell on this broom to make it shrink whenever I wanted it to," he uttered.
" Have I ever told you, Draco, that you're brilliant?" I asked and kissed him straight on the lips. He pushed back on my lips whilst wrapping an arm around my waist. We walked closer to the bed and he pulled me onto of him as he plopped on the bed. Still kissing, he stroked my hair with his free hand that wasn't embraced with my waist. I moaned, trying to tell him to stop and finally he let the kiss go.
" Draco, we should probably go get our wands back, don't you think?" I asked while playing with a piece of his hair.
" You're right, we should," he answered and I got off him. At a steady pace we walked back to our parents' bedrooms, closely standing by the Malfoy's chamber. Waiting, we watched a light turn off in the room and we quietly reached for the doorknob to see if it was locked.
Fortunately, the door let us through and we crept inside the dark room. A loud snore was heard from behind me and I was startled but I came back to my senses as Draco reached for my hand while giving it a small squeeze. He led me through the darkness and stopped suddenly causing me to stumble to the floor.
I lay motionlessly on the ground ready for the light to turn on, but all I heard was a loud noise of a snore that told me that Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy were still asleep. Relieved I thought about the consequence of my stumbling if the two people on the bed woke up. Draco's hand was searching for mine and when he found me he snatched my hand while pulling me off the floor.
" Be more quiet!" he hissed softly enough for me to hear. Letting go of my hand, he instead put an arm around my waist and once again led me through the darkness. I reached out my hand, feeling for any sign of a dresser or a doorknob of a closet. After a few more slow paces, I felt an object brush against my hand and I refrained from walking.
" I found something!" I quietly whispered in his ear, at least I think it was his ear. He turned my body with his arm towards the object and also searched for it with his hands. I felt around the object and found a handle of some kind. I grasped the handle and pulled towards me to open it. "Accio Wand!" I whispered into the compartment and held my hand out. With great force a thin object flew into my open hand and I briskly grabbed a hold of it.
"Accio Wand!" Draco copied. Even though it was dark, I heard the wand fly into his palm and he quickly led me toward the door. We made it through the darkness, out the door, and managed to not disturb the sleeping people.
Draco reached into his pocket and brought out the tiny broomstick. He raised his wand and mumbled, " Undos Spellos!" The tiny broom abruptly changed into a normal sized broomstick and Draco mounted it.
" Draco, have I ever mentioned to you that I don't….don't like heights?" I asked transfixed at the broom.
" You won't need to worry. Just as long as you hold on, then nothing will happen!" he said with a smirk and patted the stick behind him, motioning for me to sit. I reluctantly mounted it just as he kicked off the boat's ledge. I briskly wrapped my arms around his waist and held on for dear life. I closed my eyes as the cold air emitted through us when we soared through the sky.
" Jessica, open your eyes."
" No, I will not!"
" Do it."
" No."
" Jessica." He almost sounded like my mother when she used that tone with me. I hesitantly opened an eye and glanced below me. The dark blue ocean lay a few feet from my feet and I screeched. Abruptly I held tight on to Draco, who was giggling at my scream.
"It's not that bad," he told me. I raised my resting head from his shoulder and gazed once again below me. Maybe he was right. It wasn't all that bad. My eyes slowly began to grow tired and I found myself falling asleep on his shoulder. The night air was cool, though, but I still felt its calm serenity.
We finally came upon land and began to descend slowly to the ground. The sun crept from the east and brightly showed us the Malfoy Mansion. I noticed that the house actually seemed quite creepy in a way as we reached the land. Our house was next door looking gloomy as well. I slid off the broom sheepishly and walked to the front door with Draco at my side.
He took out his wand and while pointing at the knobs on the door, he muttered, " Realisa Spello!" At the command, the doors opened and we climbed in between them to be met with not only dust and darkness, but surprising guests that didn't look at all like house-elves.
" How nice of you two to join us?" said a voice from behind the darkness of the hall. The hall wasn't fully dark, for there was a small window that let a small bit of light shine through. I jumped and wrapped my arms around Draco's firm body. His breathing was immeasurable. Draco wrapped his arms around me as well and we heard the heels of pairs of feet hit the floorboards. Out of the darkness came not one, but four people: our parents. Lucius was the leader and held out his wand at us and yelled, " Accio wand!" Immediately, Draco's wand flew from his hand into his father's.
" Leave us alone!" Draco yelled holding me closer to him. Lucius began to chuckle while the rest mocked.
" But why should we leave you two alone?" he asked chuckling more.
" We know of your plans and we don't agree at all with it!" Draco's voice sounded a bit afraid.
" My son, it's for the best. You should know. We need to live out our name. Don't you see? You can have the power of the world in your hands, my son!" the chuckles now seemed hysterical.
" You only want it for yourself!" Draco yelled his voice becoming hoarse.
" But Draco, you are the reign of Lord Voldemort! Together you and I can rule the world with everyone at our feet! And look at yourself, Draco," he began to move closer to us, " You have a beautiful wife who will worship the ground you stand in." Lucius touched my face with the tip of his fingers, outlining my cheekbone. I briskly moved my face from his hands and covered it in Draco's shoulder. Lucius snickered. " Draco, wouldn't it be wonderful to have the power?"
" NO! YOU LIAR!" Draco snapped and let me go. He stomped on Lucius' feet, grabbed me by the waist, and began to run down the hall, away from Lucius. I tried my best to run with his every pace.
With a faraway yelp, Lucius stammered, " GET THEM, YOU IDIOTS!" My mother, father, Narcissa, and Lucius were behind us, yelling counter curses. Draco hovered above me as I ran with a hunch, so the spells wouldn't knock me down. Farther we ran and we reached the doors to the outside. Oddly enough, the doors were open and without any time to ponder on the reason, Draco and I emerged right outside without stopping.
The woods became closer as we ran and I heard the distinct sound of the small pond's waterfall. A rock stood in front of us and before I knew it, Draco pushed me to the ground. I fell on top of him and as I was about to protest, voices rang through the air. " Where'd they go?" it was my father's voice.
" Check over there!" Narissca's voice answered. Footsteps hitting grass came closer to the rock we lay behind and I began to feel sweat on my forehead. I lay my head on Draco's rising chest and heard his fast heartbeat; he was also afraid. The movements suddenly stopped. I slowly rotated my head to look up and saw the outline of my father's face scouring down at me.
" 'Ello," He sneered. Abruptly Draco lifted me off him, and grabbed my hand. He set off with a run from my father while my father screamed, " I'VE FOUND THEM, LUCUIS!"
We ran farther into the distance to try to avoid the spells that were thrown upon us. Suddenly Draco let go of my hand and gave me a hard push when I began to lose my breath.
" RUN, JESSICA!" he bellowed. I ran as fast as possible, but was stopped when I heard a cry of pain utter through the cold night air. I turned fast and saw Draco's limp body fall to the ground. It was the last thing I saw that night.
