Chapter 23

Dilemma

Was he sleeping? He really didn't know. He felt cold all over. His head was in tremendous pain. He had felt this pain before… He was sure he had.

"Crucio…"

His body was suddenly wrapped in excruciating pain, worse than he had been feeling. Blood was flowing out of his mouth. He was crying with tears of blood.

"You're helpless. You'll always be helpless. You disgrace me!" He's sick of his voice. He's sick of HIM.

He slowly looked up to the face of his father. Lucius Malfoy.

"Get up! I never raised you a wimp!" He bellowed, his voice shaking his insides.

Draco tried to get up, but the pain held him down.

"See? You can't even get up! You're as useless as your mother!"

Draco suddenly felt his rage swoon down in him. He struggled to stand up and stare his father down.

"I don't care what you think." He said. He had never answered his father before. "I don't want to be as cold as you are."

He watched his father's eyes grow wide as ever, as if seeing death himself.

"Who told you to speak?" Lucius pointed his wand at him, shooting him with another curse. Draco staggered to the ground, biting his lip in pain. "Did I tell you to speak?"

He couldn't scream. In his mind, he was screaming, but he couldn't identify if he was actually screaming or not. It didn't seem to matter. He just wanted to escape.

"Stop this!" A voice suddenly interjected.

Draco couldn't see who it was. But he was thoroughly startled to hear it. It was Harry Potter's voice.

"This is all nonsense! Why do you have to do this to him!" He was screaming. Draco could sense he was tired. He was tied in chains around him. He was held captive.

"Shut up, you fool!" Lucius roared and muttered an Imperius curse on him. He was merciless. "You have nothing to do with this."

Don't touch the boy. A voice spoke. It didn't sound like human. It was something else. I will be the one to deal with the boy.

Being released from the curse, Harry gasped and staggered.

Draco just watched them in silence.

"Po…" Draco tried to speak. The curse was eating him slowly. "Potter… Save yourself…"

Harry stared at Draco, fear present in his green emerald eyes. He watched as his most hated enemy bid him to save his own life. He stared at the face of his enemy, pleading him to leave him and escape.

Harry shook his head. "I can't…"

"Go!" Draco insisted. "Before I, myself, take your life…"

Lucius and his companion laughed at them. It was all like a show for them.

"That is just so sad." Lucius laughed. Draco glared at him and fought off the curse. He tried to grab the knife beside him and held it.

"I'll fight…" He stuttered. "I'll fight the destiny you both wrote…"

Lucius stared at him, amused. "You're going to kill me, son?"

Draco held the knife. He just stared at his father.

"You can't kill me, my dear child. Not you." He laughed. He stepped closer to him and knelt down before him. "I am out of your reach."

Draco raised his arms, his energy draining out. "I can't kill you." He said. "But I can kill myself!"

No.

Plunging the knife into his own heart, Lucius' companion raised his hand and took the knife from him, slipping it away from Draco.

Draco staggered to the floor, hopeless. "No… No!"

The man stood up from his throne and stared down on him. His eyes were red. Vile red. And his hands were of rotten bones.

You must not die, my child. He muttered. He must. He pointed towards Harry, and glanced at him.

Lucius frowned. "But, my lord, the boy is useless. He must die too."

No, he must not. He is the key.

"He cannot be the key! He's helpless!"

The man suddenly dug his hand into Lucius heart. Lucius stared at his Lord, terrified.

Voldemort smiled at him and pulled his heart. He watched Lucius drop dead and laughed, feeling his heart pumping in his deadly palms.

No one must interrupt my plans. He said, his voice pure of evil.

Draco stared at his dead father, lying beside him.

His blood draining out of his chest, Voldemort knelt down beside him and held him.

Be healed. You are of use to me. He said. The curse was suddenly lifted off his body. His wounds were suddenly gone.

Draco staggered away from him. He knew what he was thinking.

You must obey me, boy, or you will die too.

Draco shook his head. He turned to Harry and gazed at his blood soaked face. "I won't! Kill me instead!"

He just laughed and muttered a spell on Draco. Now, my child.

Draco seemed to stop breathing.

Kill him.

Draco suddenly stood up from where he was sitting and walked to Harry.

Harry stared at Draco in horror. "Malfoy… What are you doing!"

Draco stared at him. His eyes were blank. He wasn't Draco. He wasn't himself.

Kill him! Now!

Draco suddenly raised his blade and plunged it in Harry's chest.

It was poisoned.

Harry couldn't escape from the strike, being tied in chains. He just stared at Draco, a tear slipping down his cheek. "Why did you do this?" He asked him. But Draco didn't answer.

Voldemort just smiled. A man belongs where he belongs on the first place. And He belongs to me. He was sneering at him. I may not come near you, but I could kill you with him. He flew towards Draco and caressed his cold cheek. He is my key.

Draco tried to scream, but the spell trapped him in his own body. He couldn't move on his free will.

But then, before they knew it, Harry Potter suddenly screamed, summoning his whole power, flashing a very bright light before them.

And by that, Draco fell to the ground, unconscious, free of the spell, free of Voldemort.

Harry Potter stood amidst them all, everything evil destroyed. The Lord of Evil destroyed. And victory beside him.

He fell to the ground and lay down, holding his wound on his chest. He turned to Draco and smiled.

"Let's go home my brother. It's all over…" Harry muttered. "Come with me and join us…"

The voices echoed in his head. Join us… Join us… Join us…

But then, someone was calling him. Someone was holding him back. He watched as Harry stood up and walked away. He stayed behind and stayed with the voice, calling him, crying out to him.

"Draco! Draco! You asshole! Breath!"
