Chapter fifteen: Dark kings
Parvati glared at the girl across from her with the utmost hatred, to which the girl returned in full. Parvati's hair coiled like a serpent ready to strike while the girl was holding a black fire ball in her hands. They had been going at it for the entire night in the hidden courtyard. Varies slashes in the ground as well as patches of charred grass, the surrounding oak trees in no better condition. Parvati herself sporting a bruised and bleeding leg and torn clothing. Her enemy having a gleaming crimson slash on her chest, her clothing in an even worse state. The girl sneered looking at the girl as the dawn broke over the horizon.
"The lord is mine bitch." The girl snapped throwing the fire ball at Parvati who side stepped and lashed out with several vines of hair. The girl awaiting the attack vanished in black flames behind Parvati who just as well was waiting for the attack slashing at her with several more vines. The girl throwing up a wall of fire in protection, having the magical enchanted hair slam into the wall uselessly. Had the hair not been enchanted it would have long since burned to a crisp during the all out brawl.
"I told you before slut." Parvati raged taking a different attempt in attacking and drove several cords of hair into the ground silently. "He is mine." And with that her hair ripped through the ground and wrapped around the girls arms and legs. The girl looking back with a sick gleam as she opened her mouth wide, a black flame visible inside. While Parvati could easily rip the girl apart, it wouldn't be before she was engulfed in flames and vise versa. Which is when Harry jogged into the clearing during his morning run. His eyes locking on the girls in shock, while the girls looked back at him in lust.
"Just what the hell do you two think you are doing?" Harry snapped glaring at the girls. They had interrupted his morning workouts with their fighting and he was none to pleased with that. His magic snapping out around him, causing the wards surrounding the house to react to his magic and turning the sky above into a fiery blaze. The look of lust quickly turned into one of fear, Parvati dropping the girl, and the girl closing her mouth quickly to exhaust the flames.
"Nothing master." Parvati explained in a quick panicked voice. "We were just testing each other in case we needed to defend you." Parvati said in a haste casting a look at the girl and hoping she would catch on. The girl wasn't a disappointment, much to Parvati's and her relief.
"You can never be to careful my lord." She said in a sweet voice, and Harry only snorted. He could easily sense the lie in their words but he dismissed it. Whatever problems they had they would need to settle it on their own.
"Well, stop testing each other and get back to the castle. Draco is looking for you two, and tell him to send Hermione to my chambers in an hour." Harry said jogging past the girls though not before noticing the evil gleam that flashed in their eyes at the thought of Hermione in his chambers. Which was his desired effect. He could have easily met Hermione in the library or anywhere else of his choosing, but the look in their eyes was just too good to pass up. Harry chuckled to himself lightly as he disappeared into the woods, leaving behind two females that were glaring at each other.
Draco leaned back in the warm leather throne with a smile. His gray eyes looking across the hall to the second throne that furnished the room with a knowing glance. Unlike his own throne the one across from him was made out of black marble and with silver runes engraving the back of it. Why Harry had chose this look was beyond him, but he was right in his own words. Draco mused resting his head on his hand as he recalled the meeting they shared just before his run.
FLASH BACK.
Harry had awoken to find another bed cross from his own with Draco sitting on it with a dazed expression. Harry raising an eyebrow and pulling himself upright to look at his cousin, who seemed to snap out of his stupor with the sudden movement. Harry yawning slightly before waving in greeting, Draco dully returning the gesture with a nod of his head. Though even before Draco could speak Harry could see the question brewing in his eyes.
"Where do we go from here?" Draco said in a serious manner. "I won't bow to you cousin. I will help you in any way that I can, but I could never bow to you, or anyone for that manner." Draco declared deciding to get his view across before anything thing else would continue. And to his shock Harry only laughed in return.
"I never expected you to bow to me." He said in a dismissive tone. "But to take care of your side of the coin." This being Draco's turn to snort.
"My side of the coin? And what might that be?" He drawled.
"Simple, we were both shaped in a certain manner." Harry explained off handily. "Whereas I hold more power and a deeper need to battle, you hold more style and a richer need to over rule. Quite simply, my heart belongs on the bloody battle field and yours in a controlled court room. Which makes us a perfect combination and gives us what no other forces as and will make us succeed where all others fail." Harry said ruffling his hair while Draco cottoned on and supplied his own continuation.
"Voldemort as the power to rule but not the public standing or the economic standing. Dumbledore as the public standing but lacks power and money." Draco mused looking at his cousin in a new light.
"And Fudge as the money, but not the public or the power. You would need all three to take over." Harry said. "Whereas I have the power and the public standing, you hold the money and the manner needed to control it. So you take the world economically and I'll over throw it militarily. Your side of the coin." Harry explained smirking.
"So then, what will that make us? Draco mused. "What do you call people that have the love of the masses, the power of armies, and economic power to crush the world in their palms?"
"What we were destined to be." Harry said yawning and making his way to the door. " Kings.'
END FLASH BACK
Draco smirked to himself while looking across the hall, though he was soon ripped from his muses as two figures marched their way into the hall. His gray eyes locking on the girls he had summoned for, and sat straight up to look down at them. Both females in question staring up at him.
"I have a way to please your master."
Still brushing his teeth Harry wrapped his towel around his waist as he made his way out of the bathroom. The towel covering his head blocking the view of the girl that sat on his bed, which is why he was startled when her voice broke the silence of the room.
"Who are you?" The shaken voice of Hermione reached his ears causing him to nearly choke on the toothbrush from shock. Sending him to the floor sputtering and choking.
"Geez Hermione. Kill me why don't you." Harry managed through rasped breath throwing down his head towel to wipe up the spit and toothpaste he flung to the floor. Hermione's voice once again sending him to the floor though this time from its high pitched scream.
"HARRY!" She said flinging herself to him and hugging him. "I am so scared, I got kidnapped by this giant brute and Pansy last night. Then I wake up with Parvati and some other girl hitting me. Then Draco strolls in saying his cousin wanted to see me. I don't know who he is, but we need to get out of here before he shows up. We need to tell Dumbledore that there is something big happening." Though the laugh from Harry wasn't what Hermione was expecting.
"Draco's cousin is already here Hermione." Harry drawled picking himself up from the floor and casting Hermione aside. "And if you would be so kind as to not touch me. I just took a bath and I don't need a filthy mudblood getting me dirty again." Harry snapped glaring at the girl who was slowly paling. Her lips quivering as she looked into the dark gleam in Harry's eyes.
"Merlin help us."
Hey there,
Well I've decided to go with the first one. And sorry it took so long to update, I was working on the plot for "From Eagle and Serpent" ( shameless plug for another story. ) Anyways I hope this chapter hope to clear up where Draco comes into the plot. Until later then.
