Chapter 10: Meeting the 'real' Draco Malfoy and showing true anger
Anne was standing up top the Astronomy Tower Sunday night waiting for the young Slytherin to make an appearance. She didn't find the fact that he was late surprising, because he shows up late to everything. She began to hum, but soon she was (A/N: do I even have to say it any more? She a Song elf…crap I never explained that, don't worry I will) singing again.
"I am so high. I can hear heaven.
I am so high. I can hear heaven.
Oh but heaven, no heaven don't hear me.
And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.
Someone told me love will all save us.
But how can that be, look what love gave us.
A world full of killing, and blood-spilling
that won't never came.
And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.
Now that the world isn't ending, its love that I'm sending to you.
It isn't the love of a hero, and that's why I fear it won't do.
And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.
And they're watching us
(Watching Us)
and they're watching us
(Watching Us)
as we all fly away.yeahaahh...ooouuhh
And they're watching us
(Watching Us)
and they're watching us
(Watching Us)
as we all fly away.yeahaahh...ooouuhh
And they're watching us
(Watching Us)
and they're watching us
(Watching Us)
as we all fly away.yeahaahh...ooouuhh"
A voice behind her brought her back to reality.
" Why are you always singing?" Draco asked, now standing behind her.
" It comes with the territory of being a song elf. Once again I have some gift/curse that no one else in my family has and so again I am made unique."
Draco was still staring at her. " What does a song elf do?"
" Let me see, how do I explain this. Song elves have very special gifts. We have to have music in our lives, or we die. Having the music there helps us be able to help anyone, whither it be to fight, heal or just bring out of the darkness. But when you add my 'gift' of the seer, it now makes me able to place a song with the vision. The problem? I can't control what the song will be. Half the songs I don't I even know and the worst part? I can't control the visions. The only way I can control any memory that I get is through meditating. It centers me. But lately my powers have been growing and we don't know what gifts I will receive next. Me and my brother Finbar are trying to figure out what happened that day at the lake with you." Anne looked at him, and oddly enough, he wasn't looking at her like she was a freak.
" Why are you telling me all this? I could easily take this information to my father and…" Draco's voice faded off.
" I am telling you because I want you to trust me enough so you cant help me decipher your memories that are flooding my mind, so it wouldn't make sense if I wanted your trust if I didn't give you mine and telling you that means I trust you. By the way, you won't tell you father because you can't stand him and you're not evil. Just broken and if you let me, I can help fit the pieces back in. I will be a friend and I mean a real friend." Anne was now leaning with her back against the edge of the roof and was staring at the blonde haired boy.
" Your right. I won't tell my father. Thank you, Anne." He was now standing next to her, staring out at the lake.
" For what?" Anne asked, watching the stars blink.
" For being honest with me, for being a true friend. Yes, I think I can do the whole friend thing with you, but of course not in public." Draco smirked at her.
" But of course. Never thought any different." Anne and Draco now fell silent and the minutes passed until Anne sat up and stared at him.
" Draco, I need to clear up a memory that I got from you. It is completely blurry and I can't tell what's going on. I'm not going to hurt you, but I need to look into your mind. I wont invade any memory you don't want me too." Anne was now moving to sit down on the ground.
" Ok. I trust you."
" Well, the sit down in front of me and open your mind."
Draco did as she asked and looked at her.
" Now, keep your breathing even and try not to break eye contact, ok?" Draco nodded. " Ok then."
Anne stared in Draco's piercing gray eyes and fell into his mind.
Unknown to both students, they had an audience, with many silent bodyguards kept them from discovery.
((IN Draco's Head))
Anne stood not upon a pillar overlooking Draco's memories, but was a part of them. A shadow that could watch without disturbing the memories.
She watched as Draco played with his mother at a very young age and knew love, but it was brief. His father officially came into his life at six years of age and now, no love or happiness was known to the child.
" Narcissa He has been lacking in training. You failed me woman." A smack was heard and a thump and Draco could do nothing. His father frightened him.
" I am sorry. I just thought that maybe I could love as a mother should love and care for her son."
" Your job was to produce an heir, nothing more, nothing less. Know that he is old enough to be trained, he will become the warrior he is destined to be." With that his father got up and dragged Draco away from his mother, who silently begged to help him. But she just turned away and for the first time in his life, Draco knew betrayal.
Now he was older, eight most likely and he was listening as his father ranted and instructed on ' How To Be A Malfoy' and for the last three weeks, he hadn't seen his mother or sun for that matter.
He was eavesdropping on his parents in the den, listening as they argued about him.
" He can't take the mark! Why would he? Voldemort is gone! There is no reason to make our son take the mark if there is no Dark Lord to follow!" His mother yelled at his father.
" He will take the mark when he is old enough."
His father's cold voice sent chills down his spine, but he shook himself, pulled hi head up and walked into the den with such confidence that you couldn't tell he was scared out of his mind.
" Father I do not want to take the mark. I will not become someone's servant. I won't become you." He had stopped in front of the desk where his father sat and spoke with ice in each word.
His father glared at him darkly and stood. Inside, Draco flinched.
" You will learn respect, boy." His father moved quickly, grabbing Draco under the arms and dragged him out of the room. Draco's eyes held such fear as his mother silently wept as she watched her son being lead off to be beaten.'
Anne broke eye contact and at once a song rose from within her as the memories played over and over.
"In the land of dirt and plaster
lies an army of a thousand nowhere kids
losing ground and falling faster
into a life that no one should have to live
We are the people that you hate
we are the bastards that you created
A generation with no place
a generation of all your sons and daughters
Behind the fake family image
behind the smile of a thousand moms and dads
inside the cage that we've been given
i see an image of the future that we don't have
We are the people that you hate
we are the bastards that you created
A generation with no place
a generation of all your sons and
We are the people that you hate
the fucking bastards that you created
a generation with no place
a generation of all your sons and daughters
And what did you expect ... a perfect child
raised by TV sets ... abandoned every mile
we never get respect ... never a fair trial
no one gives a shit ... as long as we smile
We are the people that you hate
we are the bastards that you created
A generation with no place
a generation of all your sons and
We are the people that you hate
the fucking bastards that you created
a generation with no place
a generation of all your sons and daughters"
Draco was enthralled in the music that he didn't notice that one of the shadows had moved out was on pins and needles, waiting until he was needed. Another song broke from within her as she watched the beatings and they reminded her of Harry's.
"Broken home, all alone
Broken home, all alone
I can't seem to fight these feelings
I'm caught in the middle of this
And my wounds are not healing
I'm stuck in between my parents
I wish I had someone to talk to
Someone I could confide in
I just want to know the truth
I just want to know the truth
Want to know the truth!
Broken home
all alone
I know my mother loves me
but does my father even care?
If I'm sad or angry
You were never ever there
When I needed you
I hope you regret what you did
I think I know the truth
Your father did the same to you
Did the same to you!
I'm crying day and night now
what is wrong with me?
I cannot fight now
I feel like a weak link
crying day and night now
what is wrong with me?
I cannot fight now
I feel like a weak link
(Push it back inside)
(Push it back inside)
(Push it back inside)
(Push it back inside)
A weak link
Broken home, all alone
It feels bad to be alone
Crying by yourself living in a broken home
How could I tell it?
So all y'all could feel it
Depression strikes hard just like my old earth would tell it
To me, her son, she told me I'm the one
Pain bottled up, 'bout to blow like a gun
Stories that I tell
Are nonfiction
And you can't take it back cuz it's already done
BROKEN HOME! BROKEN HOOOOME!
Can't seem to fight these feelings
Caught in the middle of this
my wounds are not healing
Stuck in between my parents
BROKEN HOME! BROKEN HOOOOME!"
She sat rigid and her eyes were closed. Draco was worried. Did he do something? But soon her eyes opened and she looked ok.
" Well, I'd say those are cleared up. It official, I am now going to be there for you. What your father did to you is wrong. The man is twisted and you need to get you and your mother out of there. If she doesn't leave willingly leave, spell her. Because I see a grave shadow over you two and I fear he will use her against you." Anne was now standing and helped him up.
" I will remember that and thank you again, Anne." Draco turned to leave, but Anne grabbed his arm and turned him back to her. He looked confused, but she pulled him into a hug. He hesitated but soon was hugging back.
" Remember, Draco, I'm here. So if ever you just need to talk, send me word. Friends are there for friends." Anne whispered into his ear.
" Again, thank you. I better get back before Filch and his blasted cat catch Me." he turned and left the tower. Anne looked up directly at Maggie and nodded her head. At once, Maggie faded into the shadows to help 'escort' Draco safely back to the dungeons.
Anne turned back towards the edge and felt arms come around her. She sank into Conor's arms and released the tension that had built up from the memory.
" What's wrong, Anne?" Finbar asked, moving from the shadows, along with Drak and Jamie.
" I have never seen such coldness towards a child. Yes, Vernon beat Harry, but Lucius was just purely cold. I would rather have Vernon then Lucius." Anne was shacking and Conor wrapped his arms around her tighter.
" Well, what do we have here?" Came a new voice from behind them and they all spun around. Who else but Albus Dumbledore was standing there, looking at the strange group.
" What do you want Dumbledore?" Anne asked, going into full-blown leader mode. She kinda looked like Liadan. Well, that explains why Liadan wanted her for an heir.
" Well, I wished to discuss those extra classes with Me." he said simply, moving forward. Conor tightened his grip and the others closed in.
" I told you no, old man. I don't trust you. You could have stopped my grandfather from forcing the mark on Severus, but no. You wanted a spy. WHY MY FATHER? HE AND MOTHER WERE PERFECT AND BECAUSE IT WOULD RUIN YOUR PLANS, THEY COULDN'T BE TOGETHER? WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO DECIED THAT?" Anne was now out of Conor's arms, but they were still holding her back. She was capable of murder.
" DO YOU REALLY BELIVE THAT I COULDN'T SEE YOUR HAND IN ALL OF WHAT HAPPENED? YOU'RE A FOOLISH OLD MAN! AND YOU KNEW JAMES POTTER HAD AN ANGER PROBLEM. DID YOU KNOW HE HIT MOM? THAT IS WHY I AM HERE. SO YOUR PLANS WERE FOILED. OR WERE THEY? YOU WANTED MY BROTHER AND I FOR WEAPONS.BUT GUESS WHAT? THIS IS ONE GIRL YOU WILL NOT HAVE AT YOUR SIDE." She was breathing heavy and now as angry songs were pushing from her as she glared at the Headmaster.
"I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
Oh, superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, these men of power
Are losing control by the hour
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is a land of confusion
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
In the wake of this madness, as I held you tight
So long ago
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to"
But the songs wouldn't stop. Why should they? She has all this anger built up ever since she learned what the old man had done and what he didn't do.
"Don't know who to trust
no surprise
everyone feels so far away from me
heavy thoughts sift through dust
and the lies
trying not to break
but I'm so tired of this deceit
every time i try to make myself
get back up on my feet
all i ever think about is this
all the tiring time between
and how
trying to put my trust in you
just takes so much out of me
i take everything from the inside
and throw it all away
cause i swear / for the last time
i won't trust myself with you
tension is building inside
steadily
everyone feels so far away from me
heavy thoughts forcing their way
out of me
i won't trust myself with you
i won't waste myself on you
waste myself on you
you"
It seemed her anger knew no bounds, for her she was radiating heat and no one could hold her back, but she didn't advance towards the old man, but still held him where he was standing with her glare.
"Can you feel that?
Oh, shit.
OOH WAH AH AH AH!
OOH WAH AH AH AH!
OHH OHH!
OHH OHH!
OHH OHH!
Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel
will you give in to me?
It seems what's left of my human side
is slowly changing... in me
Will you give in to me?
Looking at my own reflection,
when suddenly it changes,
Violently it changes!
OH! No, there is no turning back now
you've woken up the demon... in me!
Get up, come on get down with the sickness!
Get up, come on get down with the sickness!
Get up, come on get down with the sickness!
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me!
Get up, come on get down with the sickness!
You mother get up
Come on get down with the sickness!
You fucker get up
Come on get down with the sickness!
Madness is the gift that has been given to me...
I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
don't try to deny what you feel
Will you give in to me?
It seems that all that was good has died
and is decaying in me
Will you give in to me?
It seems you're having some trouble
in dealing with these changes!
Living with these changes!
OH! Now the world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon... in me!
Get up, come on get down with the sickness!
Get up, come on get down with the sickness!
Get up, come on get down with the sickness!
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness!
You mother get up
Come on get down with the sickness!
You fucker get up
Come on get down with the sickness!
Madness is the gift that has been given to me...
breathing
and when I dream
and when I dream
and when I dream
and when I dream!
No mommy, don't do it again
Don't do it again
I'll be a good boy
I'll be a good boy, I promise
No mommy don't hit me Oh-oohh
Why did you have to hit me like that mommy?
Don't do it! You're hurting me Oh-oohh!
Why did you have to be such a bitch?
Why don't you,
why don't you fuck off and die?
Why can't you just fuck off and die?
Why can't you just leave here and die?
Never stick your hand in my face again bitch
FUCK YOU!
I don't need this shit
you stupid sadistic abusive fucking whore
would you like to see how it feels mommy?
Here it comes, get ready to die!
OHH WAH AH AH AH!
Get up, come on get down with the sickness!
Get up, come on get down with the sickness!
Get up, come on get down with the sickness!
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness!
You mother get up
Come on get down with the sickness!
You fucker get up
Come on get down with the sickness!
Madness has now come over me!"
It seemed that at last she had calmed down for the last song faded out and Dumbledore moved to talk as another voice stopped him.
"Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding
This is my last resort
Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding
Do you even care if I die bleeding
Would it be wrong, would it be right?
If I took my life tonight, chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight and I'm contemplating suicide
Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
I never realized I was spread too thin
Till it was too late and I was empty within
Hungry, feeding on chaos and living in sin
Downward spiral, where do I begin
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself and no love for another
Searching to find a love upon a higher level
Finding nothing but questions and devils
Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing's alright, nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
I can't go on living this way
Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding
Would it be wrong, would it be right?
If I took my life tonight, chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight and I'm contemplating suicide
Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothings alright, nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
Nothings alright, nothing is fine
Cant go on, living this way
Nothings alright"
The heat subsided and she was silent, but her eyes were still boring into Dumbledore's skull.
At last he found his voice.
" My dear, I do not know who told that I knew what was going to happen to Severus, but I am afraid they were lying to you." He said coolly.
Jamie gasped and had to put his fist into his mouth to keep him from laughing. It was the same for the others; even Finbar was having difficulty not laughing.
Jamie looked up at Dumbledore.
" Hey old man, did you write your will? Cause you just signed your death warrant." Jamie was watching Anne and saw that she made no move to kill the old man, but her word sure did hold murder behind them.
" Don't you dare tell me that my mother lied to me. Liadan never lied. You are walking a very fine line her Dumbledore and you're about to fall over into the shark tank. If you ever speak of my mother again, I will kill you. Her name is too great for you lips." She spoke so coldly that even Dumbledore shivered.
She walked passed him, a sneer that looked just like Severus's was on her lips as she pulled Conor behind her. Jamie and Maggie walked out and were laughing at him.
Finbar and Drak were the last to leave. Finbar stood in front of the old man and glared at him.
" You're on no legs with her and I wouldn't try to reason with her. There is a reason Lady Liadan made Anne the leader before she died. Anne is stubborn and fights for what she believes in and protects those most precious to her. You will get nowhere with her, so stop or you will be seeing us again. She is the one person here at the school that will not follow blindly and she may already have followers. I wouldn't doubt it, she is a leader." Finbar now left with Drak following behind, leaving Dumbledore with much to think about.
Anne was sitting by the window, running over the memories of Draco. But now, she was concentrating on Lucius and Narcissa.
" The bastard needs to be taught a lesson." Anne said, her words slightly echoing in the empty common room.
She began to sing lightly, again paying no heed as someone walked in and stood in the doorway that lead to the dormitories.
"Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.
Cover up with make up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.
Do you feel like a man?
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend; one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down.
I see the way you go
And say your right again,
Say your right again
Heed my lecture
Do you feel like a man?
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend; one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down a new life she has.
Do you feel like a man?
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the grown?
Well I'll tell you my friend; one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
One day she will tell you that she has had enough
It's coming round again.
Do you feel like a man?
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the grown?
Well I'll tell you my friend; one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..
Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough.."
" Anne are you ok?" Harry asked, sitting next to her, wrapping an arm around her. " Yah. I'm fine. Just not looking forward to tomorrow. I don't want Conor to leave, but he and the others are needed at home. So I must let them go. The welfare of my home and family is worth him leaving." Anne's eyes were betraying her and tears were falling as she leaned into Harry.
" What am I to you? Chop liver?" Harry smirked.
" No, just not my fiancé. But there is Christmas. Your welcome to come, Harry, it's always beautiful at the holiday season. That is, unless your going to the Weasley's?" Anne turned to him.
" I would love to go. If I get to meet the family that protected my sis all these years, then even better." Harry laughed and hugged her.
" Oh you'll meet them alright. They will interrogated you and poke and prod you, but they will love you as I do." Anne stood and pecked his cheek before heading to bed.
Anne was wrapped in Conor's arms in the entrance hall and refused to let him go. She had hugged the others before moving to Conor and was nowbeing held with the same fierceness. It seemed Monday hadcome to quick.
" I love you Anne and remember the gift that Aunt Rachael gave you. That necklace will lead youright to me." Conor whispered into her ear.
" I know. Be quite, Conor. I just want to stand here for a while. Have your warm imprinted on me." Anne whispered into his chest. He smiled and held her tighter.
All to soon, Finbar was calling her.
" Anne, baby we gotta go so we can get back before dusk." He was gentle. He knew this was hard for her.
" Ok. You guys be safe. I love you all." She wasn't crying. But her voice was breaking.
She watched them leave and turned away as the doors closed.
((A/N: ok wow this is long. Hope you like it.!))
