Chapter 15: Breaking Dragon
Mat walked into Dragon's room, that was still connected to Harry's suite of room. "Are you ready to be introduced into the Ravenclaw rooms?" Mat asked, helping Dragon with his trunk.
"I guess, I just hope they like me." Dragon levitated his trunk to float behind them, before taking Mat's hand in his.
"Babe, we need to discuss something after we get you settled in and introduced to my friends." Mat noticed the quizzical look Dragon gave him. "What didn't you think I had any friends?"
"You know you could have invited them to the Manor once in a while, we could have brought them to America with us."
"Snidget." Mat said, opening the portrait for the both of them.
"Oh Mat! You're back! How are you, oh it's so good to see you!" Arora said, getting up and running towards Mat before throwing her arms around him in a loose hug. "We were all so worried! I mean who else would keep the Ravenclaw IQ up?"
"I'm great, I'll be perfectly fine soon, but from what happened to now, I haven't been better. Everyone, I would like you to meet our newest Ravenclaw and my boyfriend Dragon Malfoy, I'd like you all to treat him with the same respect you show me and everyone else." Mat took Dragon's hand and led him up to their room. Inside an extra bed was added next to Mat's, Dragon placed his trunk at the end of it placing odd things here and there on his bedside table. Once Mat was done showing him where everything was, he pulled Dragon onto his bed and wrapped his arms around him.
"I love you." Dragon said kissing him.
"I love you too, and this is why what I have to say and do to you is going to be torturous to me. Dragon, since we've been together, no matter how many times you've tried to do things, you've held back from me. I haven't seen you cry, I haven't seen you laugh, smile, you've been cold as ice, and hard asstone, even when you kiss me, when you tell me you love me. It's like you're just saying these things and that I'm not enough for you. I don't know how to get through to you, I don't know how to show you that it's okay to feel, it's okay to let everything go, it's perfectly fine to break down once in a while. It's not a weakness, no one will think you are weak, no one will try to hurt you because of it. I definitely won't hurt you because of it." Mat said, taking Dragon's face in his hands. "If I was to jump out the window and fall the 200 feet to the bottom, and die, I want to know that you would at least shed one tear for me."
"I would."
"Saying you will and doing it are two different things." Mat got up, opened the window, moved back and ran towards it. He was halfway out the window when he was pulled back in, falling ontop of Draogn.
"Are you INSANE! What did you want to prove me right or something? What is your problem!" Dragon yelled, looking up at Mat.
"Chill, ever since you tried to throw yourself out of the Astronomy Tower, Dumbledore placed wards that make the person bounce back to where they came from."
"That wasn't funny!"
"Well at least I know you can feel scared, that's what you are feeling right now Dragon, you feel scared because you were afriad you were going to lose me! I'm not going anywhere, I am not going to leave you, please trust me. This is the same problem your parents have, and I'm going to beat it before it beats us." Mat took Dragon's hand and led him over to a pensive, he placed both of their hands inside having them fall in. "This belonged to your grandfather, James is letting me borrow these memories so they better work before I have to tell you the big news."
"What are these memories?" Dragon asked, turning towards Mat, whom he was currently mad at.
"The time he went missing. This starts from right after he left Kelly's house, up until he came back the day before Christmas." Mat said as the memories started playing.
"What will it be mate?" The bartender asked, standing infront of James. The pub itself looked like the Hogshead, but it was obviously muggle.
"Scotch on the rocks, and a bottle of Whiskey." James said, putting his money down on the table.
"That bad huh? Want to talk about it?" James just shook his head. "Maybe in a little while then." After five hours of drinking, James started to get friendly.
"Hey Baldy! Whose you looking at? You start with me something? Take outside it with you." James said pointing towards the door.
"Sir I don't think that's a good idea." The bartender said, looking between James and the biker.
"It be fine." James said, waving the bartender off. "I just did his mom last night!" James didn't understand what he was saying, but he had heard it in a movie once, between two guys joking.
"That's it mate!" The biker pulled James outside and started to punch him. The whole time, Dragon looked on unemotional, even as James was cut across the arm. His wand lay in his pocket totally forgotten.
"Hey you arse that hurt!" James looked at the cut before disappearing.
"Are you kidding me! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!" Dragon yelled, "He just apparated infront of a Muggle."
"An intoxicated Muggle, he'll wake up tomorrow thinking it was all some horrible dream." Mat said as the memory changed. James was currently in an Army surplus shop, buying a swiss army knife. He quickly went outside and across the street to some run down hotel. Once inside his room, which looked more like the shrieking shack then anything, James pulled out the knife and started cutting any and all exposed flesh.
"Stop it! Grandpa stop doing this to yourself!" Dragon yelled at James, but didn't shed a tear.
"Dragon, it's okay to cry. You're upset and it's okay to cry."
"No! It's not." Dragon said, continuing to watch James cut himself. The memory quickly changed once more. James was still in the same hotel, obviously three sheets to the wind on booze again. This time James was standing infront of the bathroom mirror, he took the knife out of his pocket and placed the thin metal onto his face before bringing it down. Seventeen times he cut his face in various places and ways, and each time he let a lone tear fall, knowing he couldn't stop himself, he was addicted to the pain.
"James, they're gone, you're too far gone to be of help to anyone. You've already ran out of money, you haven't been sober once since you killed your step-daughter. Your wife sold you out, sold your son out, you are the reason your relationship with Lily ended. It's all my fault, I failed my family. " James said, placing the knife on the far left side of his throat. "There is nothing I can do for anyone anymore, I died, and I will never be able to fit back into society too much has changed." James quickly ran the blade across his throat, grabbing it with his left hand, the bright red liquid seeping through his fingers and over the top of his hand, while dripping out the bottom. He quickly collapsed onto the floor.
"NO Grandpa! I need you, please, I need you." Dragon said breaking down into tears, falling onto his knees and craddling his head in his hands.
"James it's time to get yourself help. Dragon needs you, Harry needs you, your family needs you. Where..To...Go?" James' breathing was now becoming uneven. "Remi." James grabbed his wand, and apparated to Remus' office.
"I want to go back now! Please, I can't see anymore." Dragon said, looking up at Mat with tear filled miserable eyes. Mat took his hand and pulled him out of the memory and back into the bedroom. Dragon sat on his bed away from Mat, crying.
"Dragon, I know it hurts, but I have one more thing to say. Earlier tonight, Chastity and I snuck over to Azkaban to talk to Draco, your brother said that he was innocent, that Draco was kept captive at Crabbe Manor, and that Oliver was involved. Oh babe, the memories you have of your father raping you, hurting you when you were younger, they're all fake. Oliver implanted them three months ago when the abuse really all started. Your father has been locked up and under a very powerful Imperious curse for three months. You weren't hit by Draco, you were hit by Crabbe and Oliver, they also were the ones that harrased you. Draco's been in Azkaban innocent and the only reason he hasn't done anything is because Oliver threatened to kill you and your siblings, and Harry. He's been turtoring Draco with stories about them having sex, about how good it felt taking you. Your parents are also not divorced, Harry forgot to inital the divorce papers. When we went tonight to tell Harry about Draco, Oliver had found the papers and because Harry moved to try Draco for his actions, Oliver punched Harry. Don't worry though, your dad is all fixed up and Oliver is locked up somewhere in the dungeons, Severus won't say where though. Draco loves you Dragon, he told me so himself, he stayed in Azkaban to keep you safe, and he's happy for us. He's happy that we're together, I have to ask you the hardest thing in the world right now, Dragon you have to testify for your father, not against him. If you testify against him, the fake memories you have will be used to hurt your father instead of helping him. I don't know what type of memory charm they used, and it could be a permanent charm, but please believe me."
"Believe you! BELIEVE YOU! I'm crying, I'm angry, I'm upset, I'm confused, and all I know is that you broke me! You have me so hurt and confused right now because you BROKE ME! Now fix it damn it! Make me me again!" Dragon said, getting up off the bed.
"I can't fix it Dragon, and I wouldn't even if I could. You need to be broken, you need to feel and I know it hurts right now, but I swear to you it gets better. You just need to cry everything out."
"NO! I'm sick of crying, I feel like I could cry for days right now, and I'm not allowed to, I'm not suppose to! It's what a Malfoy doesn't, he doesn't cry, it's a weakness. NOW FIX IT!"
"It is not a weakness, your father has cried, your dad has cried, hell even Oliver cried when he met his children for the first time, everyone cries. It's fine to cry." Dragon had had enough, he picked his wand up and pointed it at Mat.
"FIX ME OR DIE! Make it stop or die Mat, what's the choice going to be?"
"You wouldn't hurt me, I know you better then that Dragon. You want to kill me be my guest, but I can not and will not fix you. Look me in the eyes and tell me that you are seriously going to kill me, tell me that you won't seriously live to regret it after you perform the killing curse on me. You're a murderer right, that's what you do is kill people who deserve it right? Well then, I really must have been one hell of a threat to you if you're ready to off me. Go ahead SAY IT!"
"Avada KEVADR..Dr..D." Dragon dropped his wand and fell to the ground in heavy, body wretching, sobs.
"Shh, it's alright. I'm here, everything will be okay. No one will hurt you I swear, it's all over, it will soon be all over. We just have to get through the trial and it will be all over." Mat said, pulling Dragon close to him and rubbing soft comforting circles in his back.
"Please don't leave me, I didn't mean...I wasn't going to kill you, please believe me. I could never kill you." Dragon said, crying into Mat's shoulder.
"I know babe, I know. You're just hurting right now, it's okay to hurt. It's okay to cry. Shh. I know."

Severus: Well, as you can see, Kime and Dragon have both decided to skip out on this chapter. This chapter was a little too personal for both of them. I know there will be questions about why Kime and Dragon skipped out on this chapter, and why this chapter is here to begin with, so I'm going to explain it to the best of my ability as I am neither one of them. Kime has been raised as you can tell by the chapter as your typical "Malfoy", any emotion at all is considered a weakness. You had to act happy through everything, and the one time she thought it was okay to cry (The murder of her friend and the reveal that her other friend was one of the murderers), her mother told her to get over it that day. It happened and there was no reason to cry over it. So Kime constructed walls, and until very recently no one has been able to get through them. Some attempted to get through them and they got through the top layers, but to penetrate them, to get that close to her was and even today sometimes is an impossible task. However, the infamous Andrew ended up breaking Kime last week, and break she did! Parts of the conversation that Dragon and Mat had after the pensive trip where taken word for word from their conversation. The threat itself was from another person the Andrew had broke, but Kime did threaten to beat him to a bloody pulp and shove a sword up his arse for hurting her. Dragon skipped out one because he just broke and is now crying and two because he's currently trying to prepare himself for Draco's Trial. On another note, Kime has created 3 Harry Potter quizzes, two of them anyone can do all they have to do is include their email address in their review (Rememeber to leave spaces between each letter), and she will email you the quiz and the directions. The third one she has yet to put in email format because she created it on Power point (As is one of the other quizzes), if you have powerpoint and would like to take the quiz that way, include that in your email also. Quiz 1 (Email and Powerpoint) is called So You Think You Know Harry Potter and is I believe books 1-4, Quiz 2 is called So You Think You Know Harry Potter the Ulitmate Quiz and quizzes you through the books, movies, games, candies, and other various materials. The last quiz is called Vertiserum (Powerpoint only right now), and includes books 1-6.

Mat: Thanks, A LOT of people have been complaining about the Draco is good, Draco is bad thing and I will REVEAL and only here this once, that this year will be THE LAST year of the Draco is good Draco is bad thing. Chapter 16 is currently in the works and will be a long chapter, after chapter 16, Kime might take a short break from the story for a while just to get her thoughts together. I mean you have to let her have some break right? She's been writing this story non-stop since she started, I mean if you don't believe me, go back and look at the last date Twisted 1 was updated, the first day Twisted 2 was started and the last day it was updated and then when this story was posted. She's been plowing through this series and just needs a little break.
Heather: I'm glad you liked the informative chapter. Yes you did and we're all proud of you! lol. Hmm, what are you majoring in? lol. Ok yes men suck! lol. Kime did say there were two gold diggers, but she just loves confusing you people, and well...it's Kime, what do you expect? Yes I've seen the movie and the play Chicago, I hope the cute guy is a good dancer.
Bitcake: Oliver: Hey I was eating that! Sev: Yes I heard, Kime was trying to tell me last night. Quite funny her talking in a voice barely above a whisper, she lost it last night at work. Chastity: Oh, but I should have known and that will come up in the trail :). You have to remember, Mat, Draco, and I had a whole conversation that you were told of but not aware of what was talked about. Yes I'm sure Mat is glad the tube of lube was no where near his bum also. Sev: Fills in for Kime Glasscock is the last name of her "Family" Wink wink, nudge nudge She understands why you left her on AIM, and is cool with it, she had homework to get done anyway. Michael: I haven't met my new brother yet memeber? I was busy wit Mat! We sneaky... Harry: I can strangle her all I want! Mat: Thank you, Dragon would be here but he sort of disappeared with Kime. Where they went Acts like Spongebob, waving arms wildly in the air No one knows...
Sarahamanda: Well then, have fun babysitting next week lol. Glad you enjoyed the chapter.
