3. When an answer leads to ten more questions
~~~~~~Somewhere~~~~~~
"DRACO!" cried out a raven-haired man, as he woke up and sat on the bed.
"Well, I see you're wide wake!" said a female voice that was sat in front of him
"Who are you? Where am I? Why am I here? What do you want with me?..."
For the first time since he woke up, the man was looking at his surroundings while asking the questions to the girl. He was sat on a four- poster bed with red curtains and red blankets made of velvet so red that looked like blood, just like the curtains. The room was decorated in black wood with golden angels paintings and sculptures and golden angels' faces paintings and sculptures. A true gothic room, just like the decoration used in gothic churches, just without the statues and paintings of saints.
"Which question do you want me to answer first, Mr. Potter?" interrupted the woman.
"Err... Who are you?" asked the man
"Very well, my name is Nil Bluenile." answered the woman. She was shorter than he, brunette, with blue-green eyes with yellow dots that gave her the appearance of a wolf, not a dangerous one, but a respectable wolf; still, she looked like a very young woman, almost a teenager, a very beautiful teenager.
"How long have I slept?"
"Two days; it is 9:18 in the evening." Answered Nil looking at him directly in the eye for the first time.
"Where am I?" asked Harry uncomfortably.
" You are in the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Light."
Nil was still looking directly at him, as if searching his soul, what made Harry extremely uncomfortable with the whole situation.
" The what?!"
" The Brotherhood of Light." Nil answered very calmly.
"Why am I here?"
"Because you are a very important piece in our fight against a very dangerous group called 'Bringers of Purification'"
"And you want me to fight them for you, right?"
"Wrong. We want you to help us against them."
"I refuse."
"What would be a pity." Replied Nil calmly
"Why?" Harry was very uncomfortable with that situation; he didn't trust that woman a single bit.
"Someone out there would be really disappointed if he some day, by chance, found out that you refused to resume your life beside him." Answered Nil examining her nails.
"What do you mean?"
"Harry, you are officially dead; for everyone out there, you died in your battle against Voldemort, so, there's someone who would love if you came out of this battle miraculously alive; back from the dead. The Brotherhood is offering you this chance." Answered Nil looking back at him.
Anger was boiling inside Harry, but he decided to listen to what the girl named Nil had to say.
"What if I decide to refuse?" Harry asked suspiciously
"Well, we can't keep you inside here forever, so, we'll give you a name, an address, an entire life, but, what if you decide to show at the doorsteps of your beloved dragon saying that you are Harry Potter, that you've survived the battle, when he was at your funeral. Tell me Harry, what will he say?
Now Harry was understanding what that woman called Nil was talking about; she was talking about Draco; but... what if she was lying?
"How can you prove me that you're not lying?"
" I can't. I just can show you what we do, how we fight, which methods we use, and then, you decide if you join us or not. Of course, if you decide not to join us, we'll have to erase your memory about this place and this conversation." Answered Nil seriously.
"Pretty fair." Said Harry.
"Shall we go, then?" asked Nil
"Yes." answered Harry
"Well, there are clothes on that chair, as soon as you are finished, meet me outside this room." Said Nil getting up and exiting the room.
As soon as Harry was finished, he went outside the room where he found Nil waiting for him, and they began to walk through many corridors.
They walked in silence along many beautiful corridors, mostly decorated in a gothic way, but yet, extremely beautiful.
When they reached a double door at the end of one of the corridors, Nil spoke:
"Harry, I must ask you not to make any decisions as soon as you enter this room because what you are about to see inside there goes against all your beliefs."
"OK, I won't" he assured her.
Harry was expecting anything inside that room except what he saw.
"YOU!!!!" was the only thing that Harry could say when he saw what he saw.
"That's why I asked you not to make any conclusions before we explain everything." said Nil calmly entering the room.
"But they..."
"Pretended that were fighting against the side of light, performed a false killing curse, unburied you and brought you here" interrupted Nil
"WHAT???!!!" asked Harry astonished
It wasn't for nothing that Harry was so surprised; inside the room were no other than Lucius Malfoy and Tom Riddle themselves, talking calmly to each other, sitting on two of the sofas in the room facing each other.
" Do you want ME to believe that THEY were PRETENDING they were fighting against the side of light?" asked Harry incredulously.
" Your being alive should be enough proof of that Mr. Potter" calmly answered Tom Riddle, who was sat on one of the sofas in the room, that looked like a private library.
" Harry you'd better sit down." Said Nil leading him to a nearby sofa.
" Harry, I know it's pretty hard for you to believe us, specially after what you have been through; I ask you to make your decisions only after you've heard what we have to say, OK?" asked Nil, sitting down across from Harry, with a very light tone of insecurity in her voice, that was unnoticed by Harry.
Eyeing her suspiciously, Harry nodded.
"The Brotherhood of Light is a very ancient group that fights against any kind of Dark Arts, no matter if it's in a battlefield or inside government institutions. You may think that we are as intolerable as any Dark Lord because of that but we aren't because our policy is that anyone may learn the Dark Arts, as long as it's not used to harm anyone. Am I making myself clear?" Asked Nil
"Yes, you are." Harry wasn't liking this but he thought it was better to hear what they had to say.
"Very well, I know you don't like this and you don't trust us but I can assure you that if you think that Voldemort was bad, you don't want to find out about the Bringers. To give you an idea of what the Brotherhood had to do to protect some people you need to know that none of the people you heard that was killed by Voldemort was indeed killed, except those ones that Tom couldn't reach before one of the Bringers, the memory of the peoples that Voldemort supposedly killed was either erased or they were kept here until Voldemort's defeat took place, and it was done just to ensure their safety. The news that it was a spell used to increase Lord Voldemort's power was spread so, everyone you thought was dead is, indeed alive; even your parents..."
"What!!! You mean that I've lived away from them just because you decided that it would be good? I..." Now Harry was really pissed; he would have continued if he wasn't interrupted by Tom.
" Could you please calm down, Potter. The Brotherhood saved them. The Bringers of Purification wanted them dead and they would have succeeded if someone here hadn't agreed to play bad guy. Now tell me, how would you prefer them? Dead or alive?"
Harry was fuming but remained quiet and waited for Nil to continue.
"As I was saying Harry, your parents were kept here, but not against their will; we explained everything to them, and they thought it would be better if they remained here helping us instead of taking the chance we offered them to have a new name, a new life. They thought it would be safer for everyone they cared, specially you, and don't you think they didn't know what happened to you all those years." Nil then glanced at Lucius, who shook his head almost imperceptibly, but Harry noticed that. He was going to ask what was that all about when Nil spoke again:
" This is all we may tell you for now. If there is the chance that you might join us, then we will tell you more, but for now you need to rest and think about our proposal." Nil then waved her hand and a young girl entered the room.
"Christa, could you take Mr. Potter back to his chambers?" asked Lucius.
"Yes, sir" answered the girl named Christa.
Harry stood up and followed the girl named Christa, a thin young girl who had long brown hair, violet eyes and seemed to be no older than 14 years old. As soon as they were out of the room, Harry started a conversation with Christa.
"Has it been a long time since you joined them?"
"Yes, I was thirteen when I joined the Brotherhood."
"What happened?"
"My parents were killed before Tom could fake our death, I am a muggle born you know so when Tom arrived I was the only one there in my house. They didn't kill me because I wasn't home, I had gone out with my friends. Tom asked me if I wanted the chance to have my revenge, I answered yes and he introduced me Lucius, we had a kind of chat and I was brought here, where I was trained."
Harry found it easy to extract information from her so he thought that maybe he could find out more about this Brotherhood.
"How old are you now?"
"I'm 17, I'll be starting my 7th year at Hogwarts."
"Wow, you go to Hogwarts? In which house are you?"
" Hufflepuff."
"How long have you known Nil?"
"I met her on my second week here, she came to pick me to go to Diagon Alley as she also was going there to pick her things."
"She also went to Hogwarts? In which house?"
"Slytherin, in your year."
"My year? Wow, I never noticed her."
"She likes it this way, she was 'Hogwarts invisible'." He never noticed her opening the door for him and his stepping inside the room until she spoke: "Well here you are, Harry, sleep tight." And with that, she was gone.
After she was gone Harry realized that he didn't get the chance to ask about the Brotherhood and make it seem casual.
"Fuck!" He said falling on the bed. .
.

AN2: Next chapter there will be some answers not only on why the Brotherhood needs Harry but also about one of the characters' occupation, but there won't be any Draco/Harry, sorry guys. I guess that next chapter is important for you to understand the plot, but I couldn't write it with Harry, as he will be discovering those information along the fic, but don't worry, next chapter will be good, so stay tuned. And don't forget to review.
