A Weasley Named Malfoy

[Revelations]

Pitch Black. She couldn't see, she couldn't breath, she couldn't move. She was suffocating, as though something was held against her mouth and she couldn't take in oxygen, her movements were as if she was in water, weighted down by heavy clothes.

And then beyond the filmy clouds pressed over her eyes, she couldn't make out a figure. A pale figure, startling white in her black den.

"Come back to me… come back," a low hissing voice.

"NO! You can never have her!" he was holding onto a little pink bundle with vivid red hair. It tossed fussily in his embrace.

"Sss-she will come back to me, whether you like it or not… Sss-she-sss mine!"

"NO!"


"SHE'S MINE!" Ginny sat upright in bed, shaking and soaked in sweat.

"Huh?" Harry gave a strangled gasp beside her and shot up too, "What is it?" he stared at her form in the dark, outlined by the moon, "bad dream?"

"Yeah," she looked out he window. The moon seemed to leer down at her, a full moon was coming.

"Go back to sleep, it was only a dream…" he pulled her back gently onto the pillows and cuddled up under her arm, resting his head on her chest.

He was soon fast asleep, his breathing slow and even. But Ginny didn't sleep. The dream had greatly disturbed her. She stared at the portentous moon, there was something about the way it smiled down at her that gave her a feeling of foreboding.


An owl crossed the moon's rays and circled back down to her window, landing gracefully on the sill and tapped on the window.

Ginny slipped out of Harry's embrace and crossed to the window. She slid the catch and a warm breeze floated in, the owl riding in on it and landing on the table, giving a soft hoot.

"Watcha' got for me?" she held out her arm and the owl flew to her. She untied the letter off the owl and turned it over, noticing the Hogwarts crest imbedding in the wax. What could Dumbledore want at this time of night?

She looked to Harry, sleeping peacefully; maybe she shouldn't wake him. She gave the owl a pat and sent it on it's way, closing the window behind it and padded to the opposite side of the room to the glass sliding door that lead to the balcony over looking the lake in Wandseye. The white curtains danced serenely in the breeze. She settled herself down onto one of the chairs and carefully opened the letter.

Her eyes zoomed back and forth on the page as she read, widening. She sat there for a moment, gazing at the letter, wrapped in her thoughts. Then she made up her mind and got up swiftly, closing the balcony door and slipping back into the room. She pulled open a couple of drawers and threw on some clothes, magically doing her hair as she searched for a parchment and quill, on which she scribbled a note and left it on the table. She slid out of the door once more, stealing quietly down the steps that lead to the second floor. She entered a room, grabbing handful of floo powder from on the table and threw it into the fire.

"Dumbledore's office," the flames turned green, and she was gone.

***

"Wake up Wolf!" a sharp voice was at his ear, someone shaking him awake, "Wake up!"

"Go away," he mumbled. He was having particularly good dream about flying with a certain red head.


"Wolf wake up this instant!" he felt a sharp slap on the back of his head.

"What the!" he made to slap the person back, but luckily stopped himself in time; Professor McGonagall was standing over him.

"What is it" you old hag… he though.

"The Head Master wishes to see you. You better get up there right away,"

Wolf felt a surge of guilt rise up and the feeling of being caught was inevitable.

He rolled over in bed, shaking on a shirt. The rest of the boys had waken up at the sound and were now watching him curiously. He could hear their whispers. He didn't care, but he couldn't bring himself to look at them either as he followed McGonagall out the door. The walk to Dumbledore's office never seemed so short, or so quite; his footsteps were like laughter, mocking him. Dread rose in him as he ascended the spiraling stair case to the great oak door that lead to the Head Master himself.

The door creaked open and he was ushered inside to find none other than Ginny.

"Aunt Ginny?" She was sitting stiffly on a chair in front of Dumbledore's desk. Wolf knew what this was about. Ginny was here because Serena was gone. He was here because he was in trouble. Ginny didn't answer him.

"Please, sit down Wolf," Dumbledore was seated behind his desk as usual, a contemplative look etched don his worm face, this eyes still twinkling like youth none the less.

Wolf sat down, his quit rising.

"You were found at 11 o'clock not 4 hours ago, out of bed on the school grounds next to the forbidden forest with you broom after a loud explosion went off directly above you. You claimed that you did not set off the explosion and when your wand was checked, your story was confirmed, and you were sent to bed after receiving a months worth of detention for abusing your Prefects privileges," Wolf cringed, did he have to go over this again. There was twinkle in Dumbledore's knowing eyes that made Wolf's anger flare.

"But just an hour or so ago, Serena, Mrs. Potter's daughter, was discovered to have disappeared, presumably out of bed as well,"

Wolf wanted to reply, but the sinking feeling in his stomach wouldn't let him. He wanted not to be guilty and not to know what happened to her; she ran away… because of him. He wanted not to have gone digging around her past ; he was finding it a dangerous thing.

"Did you by chance see her? Or meet up with her?" Dumbledore's eyes were questioning, alert at even this time of night.

"Yes, I did," he choked out, he found himself replying without his consent.

"What happened?"

Wolf didn't know where to begin. There was a heavy silence in the room.

"What did you say, Wolf?" questioned Ginny, pleadingly. Again he didn't speak, "Please tell us Wolf, she could be in danger-" her voice broke, "I don't know if I could go through that again-"

"Quite right," Dumbledore added, "please tell us. It is of the utmost urgency,"

After a few silent moments, Wolf began his shaking recollection, "Before school started, I caught Serena in the tree house writing in a dairy with the words 'Malfoy' across it, as well as a picture of a 7th year Slytherin boy, signed 'Draco M.'"

He heard Ginny shudder at this, but he couldn't bring himself to look at her, thinking that he was causing her all her pain.

"I became curious, I wanted to know who 'Draco Malfoy' was, after I had learned that the two names went together. I wanted to know why him?" Wolf stopped himself before he added, 'and not me,' turning this into a question. He felt the heat rising in his face.

"She became angry with me when I confronted her and asked her about it. So I dropped it, thought still curious nonetheless. It came up again when the Slytherin 4th years vandalized our common room. There was an enormous dragon magically painted on one wall with the words, The Dragon was Here… across it. Serena's reaction was fear. Later that day I overheard the Slytherin's talking about it, referring to their uncle as the 'The Dragon' and Draco Malfoy,"

Things were starting to fall into place in Wolf's mind, "I came to think that maybe Serena was related to Malfoy some how. But that made ms suspicious Malfoy was related to the Slytherin twins, and he didn't go to Hogwarts anymore, so he must be older, which made me worried."

Wolf started to pace the room, speaking faster now, "Again, later I found there was an incident in Potions with Serena, a visitor named Malikye. After I had Potions that day, I confronted him. He tried to strike a deal with me; information of Serena in exchange for money. What did he want with Serena?" Wolf was starting to talk more to himself now rather than Dumbledore and Ginny, "Why did he want to know? I asked him, and he grew angry, threatening me. He must be connected to Serena s well. Three key players in this messed up riddle," Wolf had completely forgotten there were others in the room.

Dumbledore cleared his throat, and Wolf realized he was rambling, "I got away from Malikye eventually. He would disappear for a few weeks then show up again and question me about her, but I didn't tell him anything. I thought maybe he would try and hurt Serena, so I went to go check on her one night. I found her trying to get out of the common room through the window. I followed her and asked her what was wrong and she exploded on me and flew away. She sent up red sparks…" he trailed off, "That's what happened,"

Silence.

"She's running away-" Ginny doubled over, thinking hard, "You can't run away from memories-" she added, whispering.

Wolf was finding Ginny's behavior odd. Memories? Ginny obviously knew what was wrong with Serena.

But she wasn't talking to him, rather to herself, "He's not going to try and hurt her… Has Malikye talked to Serena yet?" She looked sharply at him.

"I- I don't know,"

"If that was just enough to throw her off balance… that sick bastard. He's playing with her mind, he only needed to show himself to throw her of balance- memories-" she looked at Dumbledore, "He's going to try and lead her to Draco,"

"Draco? I thought Draco was dead?

"Dead? Dead?" she gave a short laugh, "Perhaps… but I don't think so. She's running from memories," she turned to Wolf, "she's running from you,"

"Me?"

"Dumbledore we need to alert the ministry,"

"Indeed," he stood up.

"Come Wolf, I think you've had enough excitement for one night," Professor McGonagall who had stayed silent thought the whole thing was now pushing him to the door.

"No!" he turned around, "what's happening? Is Serena in danger?

Ginny spun around in an obvious rage that she was try8ing not to show, "In more than you know,"

***

Wolf was shut into his dormitory, and he went into a rage. All these questions were building up, all these unanswered questions. Serena was in danger, and he was the cause of it, he set her off, and now he was locked in his room. And now Draco Malfoy might be alive? And Malikye was connected to them both?

"AAHHH!!" he slammed his fist into his bed stand, throwing it aside, breathing hard. It slammed against the wall, and there were yells from around the room as the boys woke up.

"What the fuck is you problem!" Erik yelled at him from his bed, throwing the bed hangings aside.

But Wolf couldn't answer, he was too angry, instead, he swiped at the posts on Derrik's bed and they split in two. Wolf's temper was out of control, his wolf side showing so close to the full moon.

Wolf threw a trunk at Aaron who ducked in time, "Wolf!"

He threw a punch at Aaron and then all the Quads had jumped on him, pinning him down, but they could barely keep him in check.

"What-" Daren yelled, struggling with Wolf, and pinning him with his knee to his chest, "the Hell-" more struggling, "is you 'effing," the rest of the boys pinned his arms and legs down, "problem!"

"You! Everything!" Wolf snarled, both his arms breaking free and were now around Daren's neck, shoving him out of the way. The three other Quads threw themselves on him; their combined weight kept him from struggling much.

"Okay," Daren stood up, angry, "Talk,"

"FUCK YOU ALL!" the other two boys, Harrison and Rashad had come over and were now standing over his as well.

"Temper, temper Mr. Wolfie," Rashad knelt down next to him, "what seems to be the problem?"

Wolf didn't answer right away, still struggling under Erik, Aaron, and Derrik.

"Aunt Ginny! Serena's run away! And it's all my fault!" he yelled, the three boys were thrown off for a for a brief moment as Wolf flailed around, but they had flung themselves back on him again.

"What?"

"What's wrong with Serena? What about Aunt Ginny? What's you fault?"

"Everything!" Wolf could feel water behind his eyes and his strength leaving him. He stopped struggling, panting.

"All better?" Rashad bent over him, asking in a mocking voice.

"Go'ta hell," he mumbled.

Not until you tell us why you've gone wolf on us," Harrison smirked.

"It's all my fault. Serena's run away and's in danger, Aunt Gin is pissed at me, my prefect privileges might be stripped-"

Rashad whistled.

"Serena? In danger?"

"Aunt Gin says memories are coming back to haunt her,"

"Shit man, no wonder you're a mess. You never bring up the past with Aunt Gin or Serena or Harry,"

"Why not?" Wolf had stopped struggling completely, staring up at the rest of the boys, who had formed a tight circle around his fallen body.

"Bad past. Even Grandmum and Granddad are touchy about it, but as far as I know, even they don't know what happened to the years Aunt Gin disappeared,"

"She was taken by death eaters,"

"What?" Wolf was staring at Erik from the ground, the rest of the boys staring across wolf.

"In her 6th, when the War started, she was taken by death eaters."

"What's that got to do with Serena?"

"Haven't you ever wondered who her father was?" There was a silence as it dawned on them, "she was abducted in her 6th and then Harry finds her years later with a child-"

"Her father's a- a-"

"Yes," Erik whispered urgently.

"Her father's a deatheater!"

"No!"

"Come now!"

"Aunt Ginny?!"

Shouts arose, but Wolf stayed quiet, things started to fall into place, like pieces of a puzzle.

"Draco Malfoy is realted to the Twins, the Twin's are realted to death eaters, Malfoy is a datheater, Serena's father is a death eater," he jumped up, "Serena's father is Draco Malfoy!" he pushed past the groups and started to pace, waving his arms around, "that's why all the secrecy! That's why the picture and the diary, that's why the gray eyes! Why didn't I see it before!"

The Quad's stood dumbfounded, "wait, isn't Malfoy-"

"Yeah, that wizard whose house burned down, the rich guy,"

"A couple of years ago. His whole family died… he died,"

"He might not be dead!" Wolf added, but no one heard him.

"That's why Serena's rich!"

"What?"

"If Draco Malfoy is Serena's father, she inherits the money… that's why she's got estates everywhere! And, remember we got into one of the closed of rooms, it was full of dark objects-"

"Malfoy's famous in Slytherin! He went to school with Uncle Harry, and Aunt Ginny, and Uncle Ron, and Aunt Hermione-"

"She's running away! And Malikye is going to be sure that she runs into Malfoy-"

"Malikye?"

"what does he have anything to do with it?"

"I have to find her! She's in dagner!"

"Not without us!"

"We can't all go! That's too many!"

They argued, not hearing the crashing sound from below. And then, the door burst open and a flood of red head's came in.

"What's going on?" asked Gail, "You'll wake up the entire castle!"

"Where are we all going?" Fay was always ready to join her brothers in a new plot of pandemonium.

"What happened?" Elizabeth had wandered in.

"Serena's gone!"

"Gone?!"

"Her father's a death eater!"

"What?"

"SHUT UP!" Wolf jumped onto a trunk, "Do you want all the castle to know?" he glared at them, "and besides, if she's in Gryffindor, she can't be all that bad," his gaze was savage. Then he jumped down, pacing around the room. People were gathering around the door, peering in and wondering what was going on, why the room was in chaos.

Wolf looked like he was about to throw something again, "We'll take care of it," Erik lead the Quads to the door.

"Harrison, Rasahd, get out," Wolf spit.

"Hey! We live here!"

"GET OUT!"

"See, this is why he's Quidditch captain," Faye called after their retreating backs.

"I need a Weasley family meeting,"

"You're not a Weasley!" Theo held his head up high, "You can't call us to order when you want!"

"As your captain you will do as I say! Besides, I-" he cut himself short, he couldn't say he was the cause of it all.

"So what's it? Shoot,"

"Serena's run away. Ginny's pissed at me because she's in danger,"

There was a knock at the door, "You have 5 seconds to open this door, or I will deduct points!" Xandra called through the door, "one, two, three-"

"Get her in here,"

"four, fi-"

Aaron pulled the door open, "We'll be needing you, thanks," Xandra was pulled in and the door shut again.

"What the devil is wrong with you all! It's 4 am!"

"It's also the prefect time to have a Weasley family meeting, won't you agree?

"Quite so, Mr. Weasley,"

"Why thank you, Mr. Weasley,"

"Never a problem, Mr.-"

"Shut up all of you! Were in the middle of a Strawberry splat!"

"As Oldest, I think-"

Daren clamed a hand over Xandra's mouth, "I don't think so, continue Master Wolf,"

"Mmmmrrhmm!" Xandra yelled.

"As Mr. Wolf, he commands you, shut up-" Erik said to her.

"You can't hold her hostage! She's Head Girl!" Gail had one into a panic.

"We're not holding her as Head Girl, we're holding her as our cousin!"

"Let her go! Or you'll be in trouble," Gail had tried to pry his grip form his sister's mouth.

"Mr. Weasley, if you will contain Miss Weasley," Aaron picked up Gail and flipped her upside own.

"Put me down!" she screeched, the blood rushing to her head and slowing her down.

"You can scream all you want, but you're not going anywhere, and you also won't hear what Mr. Wolf has to say,"

"Enough!" he jumped onto the window seat. As he held up his arms, outlined by the light of the moon through the window, he looked regal, and they all quieted.

"Serena's gone missing," he put down his arms, "so what are we going to do?"

I finally updated… I know you all very much hate me for leaving you for a month…

Also, I know I haven't updated the list of characters, that will be done soon…
