Chapter four: The task
"It is HERMIONE GRANGER!" shouted Lucius.
Upon hearing this, Draco stepped forward and said," Are you actually talking about that mudblood!"
When Draco saw his father, he was shocked to see him soaked in blood and limping. It must've been Voldemort. Only he could've done this much damage thought Draco.
"Lord Voldemort is highly unpleased," said father to son. "It seems that the child of destiny, the one I was appointed to kill is…,"
"You mean it's NOT Harry Potter? It's actually that mudblood Granger?" asked Draco.
"Draco. We need to talk. 17 years ago, about the time when you were born, the two strongest death eaters, Mark and Tanya Willard, the REAL parents of Hermione Granger decided to have a child and defect from Lord Voldemort. This is unacceptable. They were executed by Lord Voldemort himself. I was assigned to kill the child. I failed. This is the reason why I'm, URGGH" after letting out a sickening groan, slumped to the floor, unconscious.
"Father? FATHER!" said Draco, wondering whether to save his abusive father or not.
Abusive or not, a father is still a father. Later, in the Malfoy's mansion's master bedroom, Lucius wakes up, a few hours after collapsing.
"ELF! Summon Draco to me now!" Lucius said to his personal house elf. In two minutes, the elf had Draco brought to his fathers room.
"Draco, since I have failed to kill her as a child, I have been appointed the task of killing her or luring her to our side. Of course the latter is better. But as you can see, I am in no condition o do so, her being in Hogwarts and being the daughter of the strongest married couple ever. So I am appointing you Draco, being in her year and, as the head boy, will share a dorm with her, the task of making her, love you and then snatch her to our side. Be DISCREET! Do not form an attachment to her, as it is a deal breaker. Remember who you serve. BE LOYAL TO THE DARK SIDE!"
Draco, being the pushover that he was, never ever saying no to his father, obviously said," yes father."
After saying so though, thought to himself shit! What have I put myself into?
