Chapter nine: Nightmare after nightmare

"Who was in charge of killing Regulus Black?" asked Voldemort.

"Lestrange brothers" answered one from Death Eaters.

"Dumbledore has them now and Bellatrix is dead now. Idiots. Did someone talked to Narcissa Malfoy?" Voldemort asked.

"Not yet my master. Too many Ministry officials is dancing around Malfoys Manor," answered Peter Pettigrew.

"One of you will go there and try to convince her to join our side. Give her two chances, if she doesn't agree after you go there for third time you will bring her and her son to me. Dismissed" said Voldemort.

The Death Eaters left and Voldemort turned towards Nagini "You can change back Kate"

The snake shrugged and became a woman. She was old, her hairs were red but here and there greying, her eyes were green and almond shape.

"What you want from me my master?" she asked.

"You know about old Verascez prophecy?"

She nodded.

"Mirzam Verascez is alive. I thought that Azkaban would destroy her, but it didn't. She is Verascez. The heir of Verascez family"

"What you want from me to do to her my master?"

"Verascez line should end on her"

"She give a birth to a son master"

"So she found other heir of Slytherin? Who is the father of that boy?"

"Sirius Black. Blacks heir"

"Curios, curios. She couldn't give birth to a son if Black wasn't the heir of Slytherin and we know that he wasn't. So Verascez father has to be a heir of Slytherin"

"No one knows about her my master. From the gossip I knew she was left on Blacks doorstep when she was a child. No one knows who her parents were, maybe her mother just picked that name because she heard about Mirzam Verascez somewhere. Maybe her name has nothing to do with her heritage my master"

"Maybe. She would be very valuable on our side. She is pretty powerful. She was one of three people who duelled with me and were alive after this"

"She duelled with you my master?"

"She did. During first war. I cornered her in dark alley around Easters in 1980. She was horrified. Oh yes, she was. But I never saw that kind of determination in anyone, like she didn't want to die, like she has a reason to live. She told that we will meet once again and that time it would be my last time. Bitch. She is hiding something, something very valuable. Not a possession, but knowledge. I tried to use Legilimency on her but her mind was like high guarded castle, I couldn't even enter this. She would be a wonderful heir of my. If I ever wanted to have an offspring I would be glad to have Mirzam Verascez as a daughter. Oh yes"

Voldemort turned around and he didn't saw that the witch flinched.

"I don't need her know. Maybe later when she will be an easy target. She will live. I will give her time to spend with her husband and when they will be happy I will get her and I will kill her"

"Why you didn't use Imperious Curse on her my master?"

"She is immune Kate. She is not a mudblood, no mudblood could be immune of Imperious Curse. I will get her and I will kill her, Black would be easy target after this and if something would happen to him his brother would come back and I will get my revenge. No one refused Lord Voldemort and get himself out of this"

Miles away Raven Black woke up with a cry "MUM!"

Mirzam was on her son side immediately "I know Raven. I saw him too. I'm guessing that I will not come back to Aurors this time" she tried to calm him down.

"Mum" Raven buried his head in his mothers chest "Don't leave me"

Mirzam tightened her arms around her son "I will not, I promise Raven"

After Raven calmed down a bit he asked, "Did you duelled with Voldemort? Few months before I was born"

"Yes. Voldemort was right. I have a reason to live. You" she said and she hugged him tightly.

"I love you mum," Raven mumbled.

"And I love you too Raven" she replied kissing his head.

Raven get down at the breakfast around nine. Everyone save his parents and uncle weren't there. His father and uncle were engrossed in a discussion.

"I can't believe him. He wants Narcissa and her son to live here," said Regulus.

"He finally goes mad. Cissy Malfoy in this house. I can't believe it," said Sirius.

Raven raised his head. Draco Malfoy. Here. In this house. 'It has something to do with mum' he thought. He glanced at his mother who was making pancakes, she turned around, glanced at him and nodded.

"Guilty as charged, for once" he heard her voice in his head.

"Mum? What are you doing in my head?" he asked her in his head.

"Sorry. Mencymagus habit. I used Legilimency on Dumbledore this morning when I came to him to tell what had happened" she replied in his head.

"Sirius. Move your lazy bum and get maple syrup," she said at laud.

"It's on the table. When I get that person who suggested Dumbledore to brought Cissy here I would kill that person with my bare hands" Sirius muttered.

"You would kill me? And I thought that you loved me" Mirzam said.

Sirius stared at Mirzam like she get a second head "You suggested Dumbledore to brought Cissy here?" he chocked.

"Yes"

"And here I was thinking that my wife loves me" he muttered.

"Oh, I love you Sirius, but you has to learn that the fact that if someone was in Slytherin don't mean that this person is evil. And Cissy was always very nice"

"If you compare her to Bella, she was" Sirius muttered.

Raven snorted. It was wonderful to see his parents like that.

"Cissy and her son will arrive here this afternoon. Sirius, no matter how Dracon will be acting I want you to not blow up the house," said Mirzam.

"I don't know," he said.

Mirzam left the pancakes and marched to him. She bent down and kissed Sirius on the check.

Sirius face brightened and he mumbled, "I will try"

Regulus laughed "She wrapped you around her little finger. You are under her thumb Siri"

"You two has to act the same way," she said.

"I love you as a sister Mirz, but I can't promise you that I will not try to defend my territory" said Regulus.

"I'm sure that you will manage" she replied and patted his back.

"Same here mum," said Raven.

Narcissa and Draco Malfoy arrived on Grimmauld Place 12 earlier than Mirzam thought. It was hour after Mirzam talked to her husband, son and brother-in-law. Narcissa when she saw Mirzam totally broke down, launched herself at Mirzam and started crying on her shoulder.

"Raven, show Draco his room. First on your right, on the third floor" said Mirzam.

"Yes mum" Raven replied.

Raven went upstairs and Draco followed him. They stopped before the door and Raven pressed the handle. The door didn't reacted. Raven pulled out his wand and muttered "Alohomora"

The doors opened and they came inside into completely dark room. Raven who was first jousted on something and fall on the floor.

"Lumos" Draco muttered and when room was illuminated by light he helped Raven stand up.

"Thanks" said Raven.

"You didn't used that room?" asked Draco.

"Nope. Mum wanted to clean this before lunch but you arrived earlier than she thought" Raven replied.

"My mum didn't want to stay in our old house any moment longer after professor Dumbledore came to us. She took her family jewellery and money, which came across her dowry. We left the house as we stand. We didn't even brought our clothes," said Draco quietly.

"I'm sure that we would find something for you two. If you don't have a problems with walking in muggle clothes?" said Raven.

Draco shocked his head "I don't have any"

'That was unexpected' Raven thought. "Don't think that I'm carping but what had happened?"

Draco turned to him "After my father went to Azkaban I thought that my mother would be crushed, but she wasn't, she was happy because of this. She told me that she never loved him and that her family made her to marry my father because she never wanted to marry him. He played up with her, he beat her. She want a divorce with him and I understand her, I want to stay with her" Draco looked crushed, it was obvious that he loved her.

"Everything will be all right. You are both here now and nobody will hurt you" said Raven. 'Hey from where did that came from?' Raven thought.

"Can I ask you about something?"

"Yes" Raven replied.

"When you are eating lunch?"

"We should get down in fifteen minutes. Today we are eating earlier," said Raven glancing at his watch.

"Could you bring me some clothes? I don't want to stay in this one," asked Draco.

"Okay I will be back in few minutes" said Raven and left the room.

'Weird, weird, weird. Friendly Draco Malfoy, that was unexpected' Raven thought when he tried to find a pair of jeans and his old jumper.

They get downstairs after twenty minutes. Draco in Raven's old clothes. They found Andromeda and Ted bickering about something, Dora and Remus engrossed in a discussion, Rowan talking with Sirius and Regulus, Thabit and Kyle joking about something and Mirzam comforting still crying Narcissa.

"Good that you are here. Lunch is ready. Cissy you want some red wine?" Mirzam asked.

"Yes, thank you Mirzam. You are good person and a good friend. Thank you" Narcissa mumbled.

Andromeda stopped bickering with her husband and handed her sister a goblet of wine. Rowan together with Dora handed her a plate.

The atmosphere during the lunch was dull; girls sat down around Narcissa and try to comfort her. Regulus, Sirius, Remus and Ted tried to keep a proper conversation, tried but failed miserably. Thabit and Kyle tried to talk with Draco, but he was a bit afraid of that. Raven didn't talk at all.

"What you think about werewolves?" Thabit asked Draco suddenly.

That brought some kind of attention from everybody. Draco stared at Thabit, Kyle was ready to hide under the table, Sirius chocked with his wine, Regulus dropped his fork, Remus dropped his goblet of wine, Ted stopped drinking his wine and girls turned towards Thabit.

"What? I'm trying to keep conversation," said Thabit.

"Some of them are nice. But I like to stay far away from them during the full moon" Draco replied.

"Told you so" Thabit turned to Kyle.

Kyle was pale as ghost.

"You are a werewolf?" asked Draco.

Kyle hesitated for a moment then nodded.

"I don't have problems with that. What? Mum told me that she went to Hogwart with one" said Draco.

At this Remus paled.

"You knew?" he asked Narcissa.

She nodded and coughed something what sounded like Snape.

"So now everything is clear. You are coming to Hogwart?" Draco asked Kyle.

"Yep. First year" Kyle answered.

The atmosphere after this was better and rest of the dinner passed nicely. Narcissa finally stopped crying and offered her help with cleaning the dishes. Draco offered helping with laundry and after the dinner two Blacks, two Lupins and one Malfoy – soon to be Black as Narcissa said found themselves in the laundry. Draco was in better mood and started joking with Thabit and Kyle. Rowan and Raven still feel uncomfortable around him.

"We still see old Draco Malfoy," said Rowan when she and Raven were hanging fresh clothes at the attic.

"Do you think that we should give him a chance?" asked Raven and caught falling sheet.

"We are starting a new life, we should make friends with more people, I think we should Raven, he deserves it" said Rowan taking clothes peg from the basket.

"Sorry that I interrupt but could one of you tell me if it was supposed to be pink?" asked Draco and peeked out from the door showing them a sheet, which always was yellow.

"What happened to this?" Rowan asked.

"I think that when I turned around this two little demons added something to this," answered Draco looking at the sheet.

"Sounds like this two" Raven laughed.

"If I ever have a brother I wished he was like them" said Draco.

"Image what could happen at Hogwart. This year will be a disaster," Rowan giggled.

"Oh yes" two boys nodded.
