A/N: I got my reviews and I'm back with another chapter. Hooray people! I'm really sorry about the long break!
Disclaimer: Harry Potter is a dream I'd wish to say was mine, but quite obviously, I can't.
Draco's head turned so fast, he was surprised it had not flown right off his neck. The sight he beheld choked him with fear. The night was dark and the sky behind was black. There were no stars and yet, the man in front of him was gleaming white.
His thin lips were so colorless, they seemed translucent and right now, those thin strips of flesh were twisted into an evil sneer. "Severus, severus."
"My lord…" Bellatrix breathed in spite of herself as the face of Voldermort reflected on her black irises.
"A touching reunion, no doubt, but I'm afraid it has to continue elsewhere. Perhaps somewhere more heavenly, "The dark lord sneered.
"You've had your time with my wife, its time she comes back with me." Came Severus' voice from nowhere, croaky and brittle.
"I see you follow your vows, Severus…till death do us apart…THEN DEATH IT SHALL BE!" roared Voldermort, his wand rising, its point glowing green.
Bellatrix sat, torn. Her dilemma rendered her motionless as her clenched at the ground below her. Draco's hands however, moved on their own reflexes; "CRUCIO!" thundered Draco, wrenching himself to his feet, ready to defend his family.
Voldermort had not been expecting this and he did not have enough time to react. His back arched and he was thrown off his feet. But all it took was a second for him to recover. "Practice makes perfect all spells except when you face The Dark Lord…" he said, before directing his next few words to Severus who was watching in a semi-groggy state. "I'd have your son dead, but it seems he wants to die a more painful death…"
"No, not Draco…not my son…take me…" Severus muttered, his mind demanding that he pull himself up while his legs refused to. His mind was in no fit condition for wandless magic.
Tears were forming in the crevices of his eyes.
"CRUCIO!" Voldermort yelled, his wand pointing steadily at Draco.
Draco felt his body tensing up against the pain before the spell even hit him and when it did hit him, he could feel his tattered body thrashing in pain. Surely this much pain could not leave him alive? Would it not be better to die? He could hear his bloodcurdling screams rip the night air apart, but he could not remember having opened his mouth. And suddenly the pain ended.
He came to, coughing and spluttering, his body a heap of messy limps. He looked at his mother, still frozen to the spot, a maniacal glint in her eyes. "Mother…" he trailed his voice.
But the next Crucio hit him again, his body coursing with pain again.
Severus watched as Draco's eyes rolled back into his head and his head lolled back. He willed his mind to obedience and concentrated hard, apparating himself right on Voldermort's neck.
His fingers fisted over them, but no sooner had he done so, his fingers began burning. The pain was spreading through his bones as if his bones had been replaced with fiery iron rods to burn him from within his flesh. And yet, he held onto his ex-master. "Run, Draco!" he yelled to the blonde boy still staring at his father.
Draco's legs rooted to the spot. He refused to run-not with his family in the clutches of the Dark Lord.
"Serpentina!" Voldermort yelled, but before Draco could even try to deflect the spell, a mess of wild, tangled hair flew in front of Draco's face and he felt himself being flung to the floor.
Draco raised his head to see his mother, writing on the ground, her body being crushed by a huge snake. "Run, Draco!" She choked out, while still thrashing around. "Save yourself, Son!"
"Please..." Severus' voice pleaded from the dark shadows behind Voldermort and finally, Draco's legs picked his being up.
He ran, for dear life, but not before Voldermort caught him with a sectumsera.
Draco could feel a gash ripping its way through his skin, but on and on he ran, hoping he would live to return and save his family…if they were not dead by then…
A/N: Done, done, done! Please tell me how it is!:)
