Draco knew that he was being paranoid, but he just had to do it. He let the gloves fall into the darkness around him closed his eyes and relaxed; concentrating.
3rd Person P.O.V.
Draco didn't know if it'll work it had been a while since he last did it -specifically his first quest, but we don't talk about that- he didn't even know if he could do it again, but he tried. He concentrated at the memories of the chamber in his dreams and waited, he felt a familiar tug and he relaxed into the darkness...
Draco stumbled forward until he gained back his valence, he looked around and saw that he was in a familiar darkness, 'did I do it?' He questioned he grabbed his wand from his pocket and casted 'lumos' lighting the area. In the light Draco could see the familiar skeletons and snake skin he grown accustomed to. He stepped into the hall and walked close where he has seen Not-Ginny come into the chamber before, he disabled his spell and unglamoroued himself. He waited. And waited until he felt the small rumble of the door opening and there he saw Not-Ginny-Tom in all his wicket glory. He blended into the shadows and his eyes locked into the book Tom had, he wasn't sure what to do since he only thought he found a pattern in Tom's attacks, but he can't go back now. This could be the only chance to make sure Fred's and George's sister could be safe, he made a promise after all.
Draco held in his breath as Tom made his way close to him, closer, and closer, and closer... When Tom was a few inches away, Draco acted fast he leaped into Tom and snatched the book away from him as he was caught off guard. He ran like an Olympian runner; muting the screech of outrage from Tom. When a spell nearly hit him, he started thinking of his dorm -another spell almost hit him- he began closing into the wall. He close his eyes and—
Draco fell face flat on the floor with a loud 'SMACK!' He stood up and looked around him in alarm, death grip on the book. He calmed around when he realized he was in the bathroom, he did it. He got the book, maybe he was able to stop Tom from hurting Ginny. He sighed in relief and casted 'Tempus' it was 3:46 in the morning, Draco groaned he surly won't be able to go to sleep now. "Whoo, another day of no sleep!" He muttered with fake excitement, he sighed and went to get his uniform he was already in the bathroom he might as well get ready.
oOo
Draco. Suffered. The. Whole. Day. He felt like Thanatos himself came to him , dragged him all the way to the underworld and yeeted him into the River Styx. Guess his sleep deprivation finally caught up to him. Draco went to his next class; Charms with Hufflepuffs. He sighed in relief as he sat in his desk, Hufflepuffs were more quiet than the Gryffindors and at the moment their were Draco's favorite house that wasn't his own. Professor Flitwick came in closing the door behind him, he walked in front of his desk covered in books and started talking role call.
After his name was called everything went mute, he saw the professor talking but couldn't make a word of what he was saying.
Draco closed his eyes for a bit and opened them, he glanced around his classmates and noticed they took their books out. He copied their actions and asked his seat mate, Theodore for the page number, his eyes looked on Theodore's lips as they were moving, but he had no idea what they said. He thanked him anyway and waited until Theo turned his book; glancing at the page number he stopped on. Once he had his book on the right page he zoned out, he glanced at the book and tried to read what was in front of him. The words on the page were fine but he couldn't make any of the words in there, like he had forgotten how to read.
Draco concentrated on the words that were slowly becoming blurry "-raco? -co? DRACO!" He jolted upwards and turned to Theodore, "It's your turn to read!" He whispered/hissed. Draco nodded and looked at his page to see where they left on, he glanced around and saw everyone looking at him. "Please stand up to read the chapter, Mr. Malfoy," Draco heard Professor Flitwick say, eyebrow raised at him. He nodded and continued reading "Um... the Accio charm-Also Known As the Summoning Charm, Incantation: Ak-Key-Oh-Effect: Summons an objects from a distance-" Draco paused taking a small breath"- Aguamenti: Also Known As: Water-Making Spell- Light: Icy Blue-Effect: Conjures water-" he felt dizzy, he didn't noticed the look of concern he got from Theo "-Alohomora-Incantation: Al-Loh-Ha-More-Ah-Light: Invisible, blue, yellow, or purple-Effect: Unlocks doors and windows-Creator: Ancient African Sorcerer; first brought to Britain by Eldon Elsrickle in early 1600s-" he felt something pass his lips and fell into the paper. He glanced down eyes unfocused as he saw two blurry dotes of crimson read on the bottom of his textbook. He gulped and continued reading, "Anti-Alohomora Charm: Incantation: Al-Loh-Ha-Mor-Ah-...Light: Invisible, blue, yellow, or purple-Effect: A-an anti-Unlocking spell, a-acts as a co-counter-charm to-" he stopped as his head felt as if it exploded his mouth felt dry as the words in the textbook blurred. He felt his hands shake terribly as his eyes rolled back, he fell backwards he barely heard the shouts coming from the class. He felt his body being shaken by unknown hands faint yelling coming from on top of him as tried to blink back the blurry ness in his sight, he felt his eyelids slowly close and his eyes rolled back then everything went black.
oOo
Draco heard faint whispering from beside him, he tried to make up some of the words that were being said but only managed to make up, 'fainted in class' and 'caused by exhaustion' and 'lack of nutrition' before he blocked it out and went back to sleep. The second time he heard whispering he tried to open his eyes and tell whoever was talking to shut up, as his head was killing him. He slowly opened his eyes and squinted at the light on top of him, he waited until his eyes got adjusted to the light to look around him, he saw the pure white sheets and the silver cart besides him, 'Is this the infirmary?' He noticed the person the person- well people that where talking besides him, he squinted at them and was able to make up Markus, Lucas, Blaise, and Theodore sitting in some chairs by his side talking to each other. Draco slowly got up from the bed into a sitting position, he looked at his hands and noticed they were paler than what he made himself seem, they almost matched the sheet covering him. He slowly touched his cheek and noticed his mask was missing he almost went to a panic when he remembered that he left it in his dorm. He stayed in that position for a bit and looked at his friends, Theo glanced at him and then at the others then snapped his head back at him. "Draco you're awake!" He exclaimed startling the others and making them look at Draco.
Draco kind off smiled at them but gave up and just nodded at them. Lucas stood up and hugged him carefully slowly making him lay back down, "Do you have any idea how worried we were?! We completely freaked out when we heard you fainted in class, but we freaked out even more when Mrs. Pomfrey said you fainted because of exhaustion!?" Lucas exclaimed almost yelling at Draco, his loud voice making Draco wince and look away. Markus noticed his wince and patted Lucas a bit as a 'calm-down' Lucas sighed and sat back in his chair. Draco sighed and turned his head completely to is friends once he did his friends turned quiet looking at him in slight surprise then confusion. Draco furrowed his eyebrows why were they looking at him like that?
Then it occurred to him, eyes widen in horror, 'the glamour!' He thought and sat up quickly his hands covering his left eye. His silver eye looking at the pure white hair in his for-head in horror. They saw him out his glamour, how many people saw him without the glamour!? Draco started hyperventilating, what if someone mentioned this to Lucius and Narcissa? He'll be asked too many questions and then he'll have to explain why he glamoured himself and people might make the connection of him not being their son and- and- Draco felt himself being hugged he tensed as he felt another pair of arms around him, two bodies pressed against his and slowly shook forwards and backwards. One of the arms hugging him caressed his hair as the other made small circles in his back. "I need you to breath with me alright, Draco?" Lucas asked, Draco nodded slightly and took a small quick breath and let it out. "Okay just like that now do it some more," Draco nodded and breathed in and out, in and out, in and out, in and out. Slowly his breath came back to normal and he relaxed in both the bodies that were hugging him.
He slowly let his arms down and let them stay limp in his lap, after a while in that position both Lucas and Markus let him go. "You good now?" Lucas asked, uncertain that Draco would answer. "Y-yeah, yeah, I'm... good now I guess... just sorry if I freaked out on you like that... yeah, that must've been weird..," he trailed off his gaze not meeting their looks of concern. Draco sighed and pulled his hair back, "Man that was weird, did I miss anything? Cause the only thing I remember is fainting in class.. how long was I out anyways?" He asked looking at his friends. "Not that long actually, it's barely lunchtime right now. We snuck out from the great hall to come see you," Blaise said from his right, Draco nodded and looked at the chair on his left, his book bag was there. He moved and grabbed it looking inside it. He shuffled through it and saw that Tom's journal was still there, 'good,' he thought. He closed his book bag and placed it back in its place. "So what now-" He was cut off when the curtain dividers opened to reveal Mrs. Pomfrey caring a silver tray. A look of surprise in her face when she saw his dorm mates with him, or maybe it was because he was awake?
She quickly smiled at him, "I'm glad you're awake, Mr. Malfoy. I must say you gave everyone quite the scare." She placed the silver tray on his lap, the tray had a plate filled with a chicken leg, mashed potato, and some peas on the side. A cup of what appears pumpkin juice at the side of the plate. "Uh, thank you Mrs. Pomfrey," he said poking some of the chicken. She just nodded and looked at his friends with a frown, "May I ask what you boys are doing here? You're supposed to be in the great hall eating!" She scolded them as they blushed a bit, embarrassed of being scolded by someone that wasn't their mothers.
"In our defense we just came to visit, Drake over here and scold him for not taking care of himself, so if you should be scolding anyone it should be him," Lucas defended arms raised. Mrs. Pomfrey just raised her eyebrow at them and crosse her arms, "What makes you think I wasn't going to talk to, Mr. Malfoy? But anyhow that doesn't gives you any permission to skip your own meals!"
Draco sweat dropped at the cry's of outrage from his friends, "I mean if you want we could share some of the food from my tray.." he stopped as Mrs. Pomfrey looked at him with a shilling glare. "Oh no, you will not be sharing your food to anyone, Mr. Malfoy! The lack of nutrients and rest is what caused you to faint in the first place! So no, you won't share your meal and your friends will go and eat their own meal with everyone else at the great hall!" She said pointing at the door, "Now up you go you all need to eat, the last thing I want is more students fainting in their classes!" Draco's friends sighed and left wordlessly as they knew that an angry Mrs. Pomfrey was a scary Mrs. Pomfrey and they sure didn't want any house points taken from them. As soon as they left Mrs. Pomfrey smiled at him, "I'll let you eat now if you need anything please ring the bell next to you, and I'll be alerted immediately." Draco nodded and started eating, mostly the mashed potatoes the chicken tasted dry.
As he was eating Draco glanced at the door and then around the infirmary noticing that Mrs. Pomfrey left him completely alone, 'wow' he thought, 'I'm surprised the others didn't wait for her to leave to come back but whatever.' Just as he was going to eat a spoonful of mashed potatoes, Draco saw two people rush in and come directly at him. Their mash of ginger hair giving their identities away, "Fred, George, nice seeing you here." He said with an eyebrow raised up. The twins panted for a bit and them smiled at him, "Well we overheard some Slytherins-"
"Talking about visiting you at the infirmary-"
"So we got curious and followed them-"
"But Mrs.Pomfrey almost caught us so-"
""We stayed low and came here. Are you alright what happen?"" Both twins said in unison. Draco raised a hand placed his tray at the side of him and grabbed his book bag. He shuffled through it and grabbed the journal, "I was able to get the book from Ginny last night, I guess the magic I used caused me some drain in my energy than what I thought it would. Don't worry I feel fine now." He said waving the book at them.
Fred and George looked at him in surprise, "you really did it?" Fred asked mouth slightly agape in awe, Draco nodded his head then looked at them seriously. "Even if I have the book now you should still keep an eye on your sister, she had the book- well journal- for a while so whatever was possessing her could still be with her," he said fully aware he didn't mentioned Tom. He had a feeling he should keep that information to himself. Both twins nodded and thanked him again for helping their sister, "Hey what's up with your hair and eyes?" George asked after taking a good look at his pranking buddy. Draco stayed silent and muttered, "I don't want to talk about it." Both twins nodded in understand meant and left the topic, after a while they started talking and Draco just gave the twins pranking ideas that they could do, the twins taking notes and laughing at some dumb pranks.
Draco was just about to give them his last prank idea when Mrs. Pomfrey came back in followed by Professor McGonagall and his 'godfather.' They stayed still with wife eyes looking at each other, "Shit..." Draco muttered as the adults looked at them in surprise. "I-it's not what it looks like!" George stuttered, the adults looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Draco used this distraction as a way to sneak in the journal back to his book bag. Draco faked a sneer, "Don't you dare think that they came here because they wanted to see me, I bet they just came here to torment me with their stupid pranks while you were gone. I'll never lower myself to befriends blood traitors!" Draco glared at them and looked at the twins hoping they'll catch on, they looked at him in understanding and faked a smirk. "Well Fred looks like they catches us," George said looking at his twin. "Nah George they haven't catch us yet!" Fred exclaimed getting something from his pocket and throwing it at the floor, "SMOKE BOMB!" He yelled and a white cloud of smoke filled the infirmary and once it cleared the twins were gone.
"Well that was interesting," Mrs, Pomfrey said, looking at the spot the twins were with amusement. "Yes, very interesting," his 'godfather' said in his usual drawl voice. "Anyways," Draco started, "May I ask why you've come here for?"
Professor McGonagall nodded and stepped forward, "we're here to discuss about what happen today, Mr. Malfoy." Draco nodded and glanced at his 'godfather' in question. "We tried to contact your parents, but they didn't answer any idea why?" His 'godfather' asked even if he was already aware of Draco's relationship with his 'parents.' "They sent me a letter saying that they were needed somewhere outside of Britain, and that they might be gone for a while," Draco lied looking at his 'godfather's eyes. "Is that so... well I suppose Minerva could ask me anything she want then as I'm your godfather," Snape said looking at McGonagall who had a face full of surprise at the revelation. She quickly got a hold of herself and kept a poker face, "Very good follow me then Severus." His 'godfather' nodded and followed her out Mrs. Pomfrey following them. Draco sighed in relief once they left and later back on the bed, closing his eyes.
oOo
Days passed since Draco fainted in class and in those days the Hufflepuffs that were in class when he fainted basically adopted him for a while. His friends constantly teased him for being 'babied' by Hufflepuffs but a simple glare and a creepy smile made them think twice about teasing Draco in general. With that matter aside this day has been boring so far, so Draco decided to go visit Myrtle as he hadn't visit her in a while. After classes Draco carefully made his way to the girls bathroom and locked the door to the bathrooms - just to make sure someone doesn't come in and for safety measures he putted a charm that alerted him if the door was unlocked- as he made his way to the last stall he knocked on the door.
The door opened immediately as Myrtle floated close to Draco, "Hi Myrtle." Draco managed to say as he was squished to death by Myrtle. "Draco, I missed you so much! It's nice seeing you here again, it's been a while since you last visited me," she said letting Draco go. Draco smiled sheepishly, "Sorry I was a quite busy, but I'm here now besides you had the Granger girl here right?" He ask and saw Myrtle frown.
"No you were right Draco, she didn't talk to me much when she came in just stayed to make sure the potion was alright. Other than that she always left me alone, but we did talk once in a while so I guess it's okay," she happily nurtured at the end. Draco frowned as his ghostly friend 'friend' did what he suspected she would do. "I thought she talked to you more seeing as you're a Ravenclaw, but I just thought she didn't talk to you often seeing as she got petrified by the basilisk," Draco said sitting down on the dried part of the stalls floor. "Wow, I didn't know she got petrified poor her," Myrtle muttered floating slightly as she sat down with Draco.
"Well do you have any news on the person behind all these attacks?" Draco asked Myrtle. She hesitantly nodded, " I heard someone hissing at the bathroom a couple of days ago, I thought it was the basilisk so I hid in the bathroom stalls. But when I looked outside the stall there was only a person there hissing at one of the mirrors, it was dark so I couldn't see their face and I didn't want to go out and get a good look of them. Other than that I haven't noticed anything else that was odd."
Draco eyes narrowed as he heard about this 'mysterious' person hissing, his eyes widen in realization, "Myrtle, did the persons hissing sounded as a snake hissing?" He asked, Myrtle nodded after recalling that night, "I think it was." Draco nodded and opened the bathroom stall. "Where are you going?" Myrtle asked.
"Just going to check something out don't worry about it," Draco said getting close to the nearest mirror. Draco knows what kind of sounds a snake did so he could persónate the sounds he heard Tom make in his dreams. Now all he had to do is guess where he has to hiss at. Draco hesitantly hissed at the mirror, "What are you doing?" Myrtle asked with her eyebrow raised at him. Draco deadpanned at her still looking at the mirror, "Seeing if I can imitate whatever the hell the person was doing here by hissing at the mirror, what else do you think I'm doing?" Myrtle rolled her eyes and Draco continued hissing at the mirror, "Okay so if the mirror ain't it then... what is it..." he trailed of ass his eyes focused at snake decoration. "You got to be kidding me," He deadpanned, "As if you couldn't be more obvious, Tom." Draco muttered rolling his eyes as he started hissing at the snake. As he was...hissing, Draco felt the charm he placed on the door activate. He quickly ran into the stall and locked the door, Myrtle looked at him in confusion. 'Someone's coming,' He mouthed as the bathroom door opened.
Footsteps could be heard as the person outside came closer and closer to were Draco was hiding, Draco pressed himself on the bathroom stall desperate to not be noticed at all costs as the person stopped close were he hid. Draco's heart thumped I hid chest as he waited for the person outside to make some sort of sound when he heard it, the person outside started to hiss. Draco's ryes widen Tom was just one tiny stall away from Draco and if he decided to come into the stalls like the creep that he is, Draco will become a dead Draco and that's something he wants to avoid. After Tom's hissing stopped, Draco tried to peep a little through the tiny space in the stall careful not to be noticed as he saw a part of the wall open to revel a túnel. 'Is that were the chamber of secrets is hidden? In the girls bathroom, seriously Salazar why couldn't it be somewhere more personal not something that makes you look like a pedophile Jesus fucking Christ,' Draco shook his head he couldn't be distracted now, Tom was there and he was STILL using Ginny's body!
Draco waited until the chamber fort closed, he couldn't go there alone since it'll basically walking to an enemy territory, so Draco should maybe at least bring someone with him... like a teacher... Draco carefully slipped out of his stall and outside the bathroom he had to find his 'godfather.' As Draco went out he felt as he was being watched, he ignored it and kept walking.
Some time lasted and Draco couldn't find his 'godfather' the only person he ran into was Lockhart and he was packing furiously fast. Draco stopped by the classroom door, "What the fuck are you doing?" He deadpanned and almost smiled at the look of pure horror that crossed Lockhart's face. "I-i just need to leave?" Lockhart said stumbling over his words. Draco rolled his eyes, "You gotta get better at lying you know with the all whole I steel information from other travelers and make it my own,' kind of bullshit you got going on, so I'll let you go if you tell me where the fuck is Professor Snape." Draco snapped as he glared at Lockhart making him flinch in return and say where Snape was located, "You finally made yourself useful," Draco muttered speed walking to where the teachers lunchroom was.
When he got there Draco slammed the door open startling everyone inside the room. He glanced around and found his 'godfather' he came in and grabbed his arm, "Don't question if something happen," he said out loud as he dragged his 'godfather' by his sleeve. "Lockhart is packing, and I need your assistance with something," he said speed walking to the first floors girls bathroom. Once he was able to force his 'godfather' to go in the girls bathroom he was meet with the chambers door being wide open. "Shit," he muttered. "What in Merlins beard is that-" "No, time for questions go tell Dumbledore to send anyone don't question it and just go we don't have enough time!" He cut his 'godfather' off and pushed him out the bathroom making sure he started running to where he assumed Dumbledore was.
He turned back around and almost ran into Myrtle, "Who open the chamber what happen while I was gone!" He asked her. She started crying softly, "Harry, Ron, and some teacher came in and went to the chamber, I told them how to open it since they mentioned their friend going missing. I told them to get in because I wanted some friends even if they came out as ghosts," she whispered, Draco patted her arm lightly. "It's okay, but know I have to go their so stay here and don't let anyone else come in!" He said as he ran into the whole on the bathroom and ran in sliding down the slide like whole. Once he made it to the bottom he saw a whole on the wall and a panicking Weasley with a knocked out teacher at his side, he took noticed that Potter wasn't with him and cursed.
Draco hid far away he couldn't be seen by Weasley, he needed to pass by him unnoticed and unrecognizable. Draco unglamored himself and secured his mask on, he slipped of his gloves and placed them on his pocket, in a moment of hesitation he took of his tie and robe placing them on the floor, 'I'll get them later,' he thought. Draco closed his eyes and concentrated, he could do this he had done it before so he took a deep breath and felt himself dissolved.
oOo
Draco let out a small 'oof' as he stumbled forwards, he glanced around the chamber and noticed Potter along with someone -Tom- and someone that was laying on the floor, 'Ginny,' Draco thought. He came here to get Potter out of here but now he had to properly save his friends sister. Draco walked close to them by the shadows blending into the darkness he took out his wand and kneeled down once he was at a hearing level with Potter and Tom.
"Haven't I already told you," Draco heard Tom say quietly, "that killing Mudbloods doesn't matter to me any more? For many months now, my new target has been — you." Draco froze a bit as Tom came close to Potter his grip on his wand tightened. "How is it that a baby with no extraordinary magical talent was able to defeat the greatest wizard of all time. How did you escape with nothing but a scar when Lord Voldemort's powers were destroyed!" Tom said pointing his wand at Potter. Draco stayed still if he saw Tom try and attack Potter them he'll interrupt but for now Draco wanted to hear what Tom was saying. "Why do you care how I escaped, Voldemort was off at your time," Potter said staring at Tom straight in the eyes.
"Voldemort," Tom said softly, "is my past, present, and future, Harry Potter," Tom turned around and started writing something in air. T-O-M M-A-R-V-O-L-O R-I-D-D-L-E and he moved his wand, and Draco saw the letters move around until they finally stopped. I A-M L-O-R-D V-O-L-D-E-M-O-R-T Draco stared at the words in shock and turned sharply at Tom when he turned around to face Potter once again. Potter started at Tom in confusion, "You-you're the heir of Slytherin, but I thought Malfoy was— you're- you're Voldemort," Potter stuttered out. Tom got close to him, and Draco got up his hiding spot making sure to stay in the shadows. "You didn't think I was going to keep my filthy muggle fathers name- no, I fashioned myself a new name and it'll remind you wizards everywhere will one day fear to speak. When I became the greatest sorcerer in the world!" Tom exclaimed. "Albus Dumbledore, is the greatest sorcerer in the world!" Potter yelled he sounded mad. "Dumbledore's been driven out of this castle by the mear memory of me," Tom said getting close to Potter. Draco stood up and carefully made his way close to one of the snake statues around making sure to not step in any puddles.
"He'll never be gone! Not as long as there those who remains a loyal to him!" Potter yelled and both him and Tom gave a stare down when the sounds of what sounded close to an eagle was heard. Draco glanced at the side of the chamber to see a Phoenix, Dumbledore's known Phoenix, "Fawks," Potter whispered smiling. The phoenix came and let go of something that he had been carrying with him, Potter caught it and unfolded it revealing the sorting hat. "So this is what Dumbledore sends his great defender? A song bird and an old hat," Tom mocked, Draco made up his mind this was the time he could reveal himself. He slowly made his way to them, "Actually Dumbledore send me to help his 'great defender,'" Draco said bowing mockingly at Tom's way. "But I think we had already met, right Tim?" Tom glared at Draco as he made his way closer and closer to Potter, until he was at his side, wand out and pointing it straight at Tom. Tom turned back at the old man like statue behind him and started hissing like he had before on many of Draco's dreams. "Annseackssd sssalissste," Tom hissed and the statues mouth opened and their the basilisk slithered out. Tom turned to Draco and Potter, "Lets match the power of Lord Voldemort heir of Salazar Slytherin against an the famous, Harry Potter. Might as well take Dumbledore's guard dog along with him."
When the basilisk slithered out Potter started running alongside Draco. Draco searched his pocket for a familiar doble ring and put in on twisting it. The silver ring immediately turned into a black and silver dagger, Draco stopped when he heard Potter trip and fall and quickly slashed at the basilisks eye. When he was going to slash the other one Hawks appeared and started slashing at the other basilisks eye Draco didn't slash. Draco took this moment to help Potter up, "NOO! You may have blinded the basilisks, but he can still hear you!" Tom yelled. Both guys started walking backwards as the basilisk started waving around in pain when one of them stepped on something that made a 'crack' sound. The basilisk stopped and looked straight at them, Draco took this sign and grabbed Potter's wrist, pulling him away from the attack of the basilisk and started running dogging the basilisk when it attacked and to one of the tunnels in the chamber.
Draco turned and ran into a dead end the basilisk slithered in their tunnel and both guys pressed themselves at the metal bars. As the basilisk came close Potter leaned down and grabbed a rock, he threw it and the basilisk followed the noice the rock made. They waited until it slithered completely out and ran threw the tunnels back to where Tom and Ginny were. Potter immediately went to Ginny and Draco pointed his wand at Tom, he pocked him in the chest with his wand and made him give them some space. "It doesn't matter if you're not completely alive I can still hurt you," Draco growled as he slashed his dagger at Tom. Tom dogged, "Yes Potter, the process is nearly complete in a few minutes Ginny Weasley will be dead, and I will cease to be a memory Lord Voldemort will return very much alive," Tom said ignoring Draco as he stopped dogging, Draco stopped attacking. "Ginny...," Draco heard Potter whisper.
Soon a big BOOM was heard and there the basilisk emerged from the ground screeching. Draco tightened his grip on his wand he casted a banishing charm at the basilisk making it hit the statue behind it, plopping a bit to the ground. Potter rushed forward to the basilisk at its moment of weakness his hand caring a silver sword. 'Where the hell did he get that sword?' Draco questioned but soon was hitter with a blast. Draco fell by the force and looked up to see Tom, wand out. "You might hurt me, but it doesn't mean I can't hurt you," Tom mocked. Draco rushed to get up and was nearly gutted with another spell, "Oh, so that's how you wanna okay huh?" Draco muttered and casted Babublious charm, shooting lighting straight at Tom. Tom digger and at that moment Draco hears Potter grunt and turned to see him. He saw Potter was able to get the basilisk with the sword but hit hurt by one of the basilisk tooth in return. 'Shit a basilisks bite is poisonous!' Draco dogged a spell sent by Tom and casted a Bewitched sleep spell at Potter. 'It's better if he doesn't feel the pain for now,' Draco dogged spell after spell send by Tom gettin closet and closet until he slashed at him with his dagger. Tom grunted and Draco ran to Potter pressing his hand on his wound as he pulled out the basilisks tooth, he stopped when he noticed Fawks fly towards him, landing over Potter and started to cry. 'Phoenixes tears help cure anything,' Draco remembered. 'Now the question is how did Tom posses Ginny if I had the journal? Unless he was able to stay for all the time Ginny had the journal in her possession.' Draco concluded, 'So, if I were to destroy the journal will it get rid of Tom for good?' He questioned and glanced over the basilisk tooth.
Draco's hand quickly made their way to his pocket and pulled a small sized journal. Draco enlarges it to its normal size and grabbed the basilisk fang, "Stop!" He heard Tom y'all behind him, he ignored him and stabbed the fang to the journal, blood poring out of the 'wound.' Once he did he heard a scream of agony behind him, he turned around and saw Tom with a whole on his chest; screaming. He pulled the fang out and stabbed the journal again and again each time Tom's body had a new whole in it, Draco didn't stop until Tom completely exploded into pure golden dust.
Draco sighed in relief when his eyes turned to Ginny. Was she alright now or was he too late? He glanced at Potter and checked his pulse, alive, he went up to Ginny and chew led her pulse he waited for a bit until he felt the faint pulse he sighed in relief, alive as well. Draco stood up and looked at the basilisk fang he had, he might as well take some of them, he doesn't know if he'll ever be back to the chamber, so Draco ripped some of the basilisks fangs and placed them in his pocket carefully. Draco then went back to Ginny and looked at her "I don't want her remembering any of this..," he whispered and then an idea came to him, what if she didn't remember ever being possessed..? Draco closed his eyes and casted a spell he hadn't done in a while, 'Obliviate!' He placed his wand, dagger, and holed journal in his pocket as well and carries the unconscious Potter bridal style. Draco turned to Fawks, "You will not tell anyone about this not even Dumbledore alright, Fawks?" Draco said the the Phoenix to see him nodding, "Good." Draco placed Potter on one of his shoulders he was quite skinny, so he didn't weight that much, the thought of why he weighted so little unsettled Draco, so he ignored it and placed Ginny on his other shoulder.
Draco passed Weasley and the unconscious Lockhart, "Harry, Ginny!" He exclaimed as he saw them both unconscious on Draco's shoulders. "Wait who are you what did you do to them!?" Weasley questioned, "I didn't do anything I just tried to help them and now that I'm here make yourself helpful and help me carry Lockhart back, we don't need others to know about this place!" He deadpanned and rushed forward. "Wait for me!" Weasley said as he dragged Lockhart behind him. Draco stopped and looked back letting Weasley catch up to him. "Thanks for helping my sister and Harry and sorry if I offended you by exclaiming that you were practically evil," Weasley said looking at his shoes as he walked with Draco.
"It's fine just don't mention I was here and grab the robe and the tie that are on the ground, please," Draco said as they passed his discarded robes, luckily Draco made sure that only the black part of the robe showed so that his house color along his tie were hidden. Weasley nodded and grabbed his things. "One more thing when we get out, you must not say anything to your sister. I know that she deserves to know what happened to her, but she's too young to experience this kind of stuff. You as her older brother must feel protective over her and you surly don't want her remembering something as traumatic as this right?" He said glancing at Weasley. Weasley frowned but then nodded in understanding, "Good make sure your friend doesn't tell her either too."
After getting out of the chamber and watching the door close Draco placed Potter and Ginny down on the bathrooms floor and grabbed his robes from Weasley, "I have to leave remember what you promised." Draco said as he made his way to the door. "Wait!" Weasley shouted stoping Draco from leaving. "What's your name?" Weasley asked. Draco smiled and turned to him, "My name is Felix, but I like to go by Fe." And with that Draco left Weasley alone.
oOo
After a few days Draco heard that Potter woke up, and he was not going to lie that he was quite relieved that he did wake up. After explaining what happened to the twins -leaving most details out of course- Draco left and started to pack his things. Christmas break started and he sure as hell wasn't staying here. No, he Iris Messaged Annabeth and decided that he was going to go with Thalia, Percy, Grover, and her to go get some Demi- Gods that were spotted on a Military school. Draco wasn't gonna lie, he was quite excited of his next 'quest.'
Draco placed all of his things in his bags and left his dormitory. In the great hall there were a lot of parents that came to pick up their children for Christmas, Draco was going to get going when he heard his name being called. "Draconis!" He heard Lucius hiss when he saw him, Draco rolled his eyes and made his way to his 'father.' "Wow? I'm surprised that you came here Lucius what's up?" He said. "Don't talk like that in front of me young man!" Lucius hissed frowning at Draco. "Sheesh, since when did you start to care of how I talked? You certainly haven't cared of how am I got years. Stop acting like you even care about me because we both know that's bullshit," Draco hissed and turned around to leave. Lucius followed him, "Draconis come back here!" Lucius called out to him when he got trapped by bodies of people making him lose Draco. "Where are you going, Draconis!?" Lucius exclaimed. "Somewhere called non of your business if you need me call the Blackeley's good bye old man!" Draco deadpanned at Lucius and passed by Dobby. He noticed Dobby had a sock and immediately understood, "Dobby, come here" he called out and Dobby made his way to Draco. He kneeled down, "Do you want to be a free elf, Dobby?" Draco asked, Dobby nodded hesitantly. "Alright then give me the sock," Draco said extending his hand and letting Dobby place the sock in it. "You sir Dobby shall now be pronounced a free elf. I hope you keep thyself safe on thou journeys," Draco narrated as he gave Dobby back his sock. Dobby's eyes sparkled, "Master has given Dobby a sock, Dobby's free elf now!" Dobby exclaimed, Draco smiled sadly and nodded. "Yes, thou are it was wonderful having thou with me by thy side, thank thou for all thee service goodbye now," Draco said and left the great hall before anyone could see what he did.
Aaaaaaannnnnddd done! Wow that took a while to write but at least I'm now at PJ's third book now. Now you guys could ask me any questions you might have of what happened in this chapter or just Draco in general. (Just so you know Ron agreed to not say anything to Ginny since he cares about her a lot, and if I had a younger sibling and they went through some traumatic experience. I would never try to tell them something of it if they don't remember and will most likely try to get them to forget that experience even happened so don't get mad at me!)
Now do you guys liked the Hufflepuff/Slytherin friendship I wrote here? I hope you do anyways thanks for reading and hope to see you in the next chapter!
Now onto some comments!
Done-With-People123: yes, I'm alright it was just a joke (a slightly dark joke my bad :P) Yes, I might add Neville and Luna into Draco's little friend group. Now to Viktor Krump I have some ideas of what to do with them, but will see, will see. ;3
-D.
