To Live with Deciete or to Die with Honor
Chapter 2: An Unexpected Feeling
"I need you to kill..."
"Dumbledore"
A shock of fear ran through me and it was very understandable. Now, I do not like Dumbledork in any way, but to kill him off, that was an incredable feet and I could also understand very clearly why The Dark Lord didn't wish to do it himself. Dumbledore was the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world, and The Dark Lord was terrified of him, even if he didn't like to advertise it. But what was this other feeling that was dwelling with in me? Was that...what was it, I know there is fear, but not...sympathy...for Dumbledore, never. No. Not going to happen.
His cool, depictable voice, entered my head and filled my thoughts, ' Mr. Malfoy, I've arrived, and what is this?'I quickly attempted to shut him out, with the power that Professor Snape provided me with. I pushed using what mental strength I had left from the shock. He was incredably powerful, and he made my experience no where near endurable, I was sure my face was twisted in pain. And as I continued the battle in my head, Snape materialized from inside the crowd of Death Eaters, coming to my side.
"Now, with all due respect, my Lord, Mr. Malfoy has extesive Potions homework due tomorrow, isn't that right Mr. Malfoy?" I could feel the Dark Lord slip out of me, ' Dont worry I will be back...' and as he left it felt as if a 1000 pounds had been taken off my body. So it was with a heavily relieved smile that I waited to thank Professor Snape after we left the house...shack...building.
"Yes, Snape, always concerned with school work, I suppose it is getting late, I do need my beauty sleep, you are all dismissed."
Out of the silence and black, " Thank you Lord!" then they all took bows so that there was a 90 degree angle between their torsos and the floor. Then filed out, talking to each other, quietly at first then the noise got louder until I reached the door, with the sweet stench of wetdirt and clean air filling my lungs, so satisfying, and the silence of the ever going night still fresh.
Back at Hogwarts, and not a word had been said between the Professor and I. He knew that the Dark Lord had been in my mind, and I knew he was upset that I had let my guard down, letting him in. And it isnt like I liked it either. I mean I was being stupid and that is hard for me to accept, because, hello! I. am. Draco Malfoy. I don't make mistakes, I dont screw up like some simpleton! I have standards that I have to stay up with. This was unexceptable. I must work harder at keeping even the Dark Lord out. I must.
The grass was cool and the sky was pitch black with inklings of stars off in a far distance that was unattainable even by the wizarding world. But something told me that we never would, never in a million years. Some things are better left alone. The castle was as grey and drawl as usual, and thecandles that were still lit, shone and flickered as bodies passed them, too tired to carry on, or maybe just afraid to wake the other people in their dorms.
Entering the castle with a kind of silence that was crying out for noise, some, anything, but we made it through the stone building without making a sound, untilI reached the portrait of the Prefects Dorm.
"Password?" The pompous man said in a large and loud tone.
"shh!keep it down! they'll hear you!" I wispered trying to make him keep his bloody voice down other wise everyone will wake up and I will have to depend on Professor Snape to get me out of another jam. Not a chance.
"Well I never!" He quieted his voice slightly. "Password!" he rudelydemanded of me.
"yes...um..Pumpkin Juice" And as he continued to murmur to himself and opened, I stepped in careful to make sure no one saw me, then quickly ran up the deep red staircase up to my dorm, across the hall from the 3 other boyprefects. I quickly opened my door, and shut it, quietly,gently setting my back against it and sliding down with a sigh. I looked up from my shoes, and saw a sight that I had become accoustomed to. A dark room, with the outline of a single bed, a bedside table, and an open wardrobe that clothes scattered from one side to the next. I smiled slightly at the sight of home, more home then my actual home.
Taking my robe off , letting it fall to the floor, and next unbuttoning my dress shirt, and tearing off the tie around my neck. Next I snapped my belt offalso allowing my pants to fall to the floor, kicking them off my tired feet. I slowly made it to my bed, letting myself fall down onto my bed and alowing sleep to capitvate my now aged mind.
