Chapter Seven – His Return
The year at Hogwarts had passed quickly and it was almost time for the final attack and for Lord Voldemort to rise once again. The twins were in their charms lesson with Professor Flitwick when a glowing ball of light holding a message to the whole school floated into the classroom. "It is with great regret that Headmaster Dumbledore has been forced to step down from his position as headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All students are to assemble in the Great Hall for the meeting of the new headmaster." The twins smiled knowing that their father had done well. "Well now students, we will pick up on this next lesson. Now off to the Great Hall." The little goblin said dismissing his class.
Passing the courtyard, Felix saw his ex-headmaster standing in the middle arguing his point across to the minister for magic, and by the looks of things he wasn't getting anywhere. "I'm telling you Cornelius, I only did it to protect is when the dark lord returns which we all know the will." Dumbledore looked deflated. "He is not back Albus. Stop trying to put it into the students minds that he is. Having you away from the students is the safest way to protect them from your crackpot stories. Now leave." Before leaving he cast his eyes over to Felix. "This is all your bloody fault. You and your bloody family. Harry if you had just ignored it none of this would have happened now look at what you've done. You've doomed us all." It wasn't until Draco grabbed his brothers arm that Felix noticed he was actually about to crucio him. "Don't do it Fe, it's not worth it." Turning around he started to walk away when out of the blue a stinging hex hit him straight in the back. Felix saw red turning around he could see Dumbledore running towards him arms stretched as if to grab him. Pulling his wand away from Draco he cast a spell causing the old coot top wither in pain on the floor as a bunch of Aurors bound him up and escorted him to Azkaban.
After sincere apologies by Fudge. The boys were now sat in the Great Hall awaiting the announcement they've been waiting for. "Students, may I have your attention? As you are all now aware Albus Dumbledore has been relieved of his position of Headmaster of Hogwarts. We have now found a new suitable Head of the school and my come as a bit of a shock. We wanted someone who was caring with the drive to give you guys the best education you could ask for. Seeing as she's a mother herself and that her children are at the school now it wouldn't surprise me if you get what we would want for you. Now would you please welcome your new Headmistress of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry Mrs Narcissa Malfoy." The boys faces dropped to the floor when they saw their mother stand up at the all too familiar podium. "Thank you very much for that lovely welcome minister…" As Narcissa spoke the twins sat there with their voices lowered and started talking about the attack. "Mums gonna' be an amazing help towards this" Said Draco excitedly. "Uncle Tom is going to be so happy when he finds out." Felix replied equally as happy.
That night, after dinner the boys started to head to their dorm when they were stopped by the all too familiar voice of their father. "Draco. Felix. Come this way please boys I have something to show you." The boys followed their father into a part of the castle they had never been before. "This corridor will lead us to our new home here at Hogwarts. Your mother and I have made the decision to move here and use the manor as a summer home." Lucius looked rather excited to say the least when he announced that the castle was now also their new home, Draco too in fact. However, Felix was not so pleased. He had spent most of his life locked in a cupboard under the stairs as a boy he wasn't. When he came to Hogwarts he thought his life was going to be better. And it was. But only when he found out who he really was. Now he was going to have to live in the same place that he once called home as Harry Potter and he was sure it wasn't going to be as fun as it was back then. "Come boys. I'll show you to your rooms." As they approached a portrait of a strange looking man their father spoke the password 'Malfoy Lucius'. The password was different for each member of the family. It was the Malfoy name followed by their first name. At this Felix giggled. "What's so funny?" Draco asked, realising that Felix was pointing at him. "Your name dad, is it the full name?" Lucius replied with a simple yes and that started Felix laughing even more. "You are so saying the password everytime we go in together Draco. Imagine other students faces if they heard you go up to the portrait and say 'Malfoy Draconis'" This time it was Lucius that started laughing at the sour look that Draco gave the other blonde.
They walked through the portrait and into a stunning living room. It was ten times bigger than the one at the manor and was much more lavish. There was a green leather sofa that looked like it could fit a hundred people on it, a large back arm chair with the fathers favourite firewhisky on the table next it. A beautiful black marble fireplace with a roaring green fire in it and the portrait of the Malfoy family above it. The room was stunning. "Now boys. You can access most of the rooms in this wing from in this room or just down the corridor over there…" The blonde man said as he pointed over to the corner of the room "Your bedrooms are down there. They should have your names on the door as well as the slytherin crest. At the end of that hall there is a door that leads you to a staircase. They will take you to the chamber." Once their dad had finished the tour of the apartment he told the boys to get ready as the final attack will be happening any minute now. The plan was all in place.
The boys once ready went back to the slytherin dorms waiting to hear the alarm sound which only went off when the students were in danger. The plan was as follows. Using the help of their mother, Lord Voldemort would set Tylin loose on the second floor on the strict orders to only attack muggleborns, then the twins would take the Slytherins out of the hall and into the courtyard where they would meet their uncle, whilst out their Tom would cast the dark mark above Hogwarts before he leaves, leaving the wizarding world in turmoil.
The boys had been waiting in the common room for a few hours now when the alarm sounded. In a panic the rest of the students headed up to the hall whilst the Slytherins headed towards the courtyard. "Any idea who Tylin attacked Fe?" asked Blaise. To be honest, Felix had absolutely no idea who the snake had attacked however he did hope it wasn't someone he knew. Stepping out into the courtyard Voldemort stood there with his faithful followers next to him laughing as the rest of the school turned up. "You fool's seriously thought I wouldn't return? You thought you would be safe? You thought you could put your faith into a senile old fool that has filled your minds with crack pot storys of how I was the bad one?" Well you are wrong. "This is what happens when you breed with a muggle" Voldemort pointed at the dead body of a small muggleborn boy he knew to be Colin Creevey. "They are a danger to this world and I am here to save it. Who's with me?" At that more than three quarters of the school moved onto the side of Voldemort including may teachers Felix wouldn't have even thought to have been on the dark side. "Professor McGonagall why are you on this side?" A young Ravenclaw asked and she explained that she knew of Dumbledore's crack pot theories and knew nothing good would come from it. "Good Good" Said Tom as he pointed his wand to the sky. "Morsmordre." And with that the dark mark appeared above Hogwarts.
The Death Eaters left leaving a school filled with excitant and fear. The crowds in the courtyard dissipated and soon Felix was left looking at the cold lifeless body of Colin Creevey thinking all of this could have been avoided if he had stayed Harry Potter.
Appologies guys about it being late been real busy at work at the moment. So there we go the attack has happened and he has risen to power again. We will be going into the summer holidays next chapter and finding out a bit more of the feeling Felix has.
