Chapter 3.
Severed limbs...
Draco's eyes were wide-open fear clutching him, chocking him.
He had to escape.
Draco tasted a liquid dripping down his throat; he wanted to gag as the stench of blood seeped into him. The shadow glared at Draco with its blood red eyes.
"I've got a present for you" whispered the shadow smiling; it lifted one hand, in it, Draco saw a head, her expression of pure terror still imprinted on her face.
Draco gasped for air as blood dripped from the head making a small puddle of the crimson liquid on the ground, the shadow began to laugh, and its laughter was high pitched and sounded as if it was hysterical.
Slowly the image started to fade and was replaced by three worried adults.
"Draco!?" gasped Snape coming to his side.
"S-Snape" whispered Draco still shivering, "it looked so real" he murmured as sweat trickled down his face.
"What?" asked Dumbledore.
"Th-The Shadow!" gasped Draco "Mother!"
"What did you see?" asked Snape.
"Find out if Narcissa's Ok!" gasped Draco getting the full effects of the potion.
Snape looked confused, "The Shadow?" he asked.
Draco's eyes widened, "Don't let me sleep!" he wailed "He'll be waiting... waiting for me" cried Draco.
Snape didn't move as Draco fainted and watched as the boy's head lolled to the side in weakness, tears still dripping down Draco's pale features.
"What was that about?" asked Dumbledore.
"Dumbledore may I speak to you in private after we get him into the Sick Wing?"
"Of course" nodded Dumbledore as Madam Pomfry levitated the stretcher holding Draco.
Snape pulled the sheet over Draco as he shivered uncontrollably, either from fear or the cold.
"Could you get him a thicker blanket please?" he asked Madam Pomfry, almost sighing.
"Of course" said Madam Pomfry grabbing one.
Snape put it over Draco hoping it would stop his shivering but it didn't.
"Severus? Let's have that chat," said Dumbledore waiting at the door.
Dumbledore and Snape found a privet place and Snape started.
"He-who-must-not-be-named used to enter the minds of traitors, in a form of a red eyed shadow. The shadow would sometimes show the future. Like the death of a loved one, or the death of yourself if you didn't make the right decision".
Dumbledore absorbed the information,
"Do you think Draco is supposed to replace his father when he dies?" he asked suddenly clicking to the explanation.
"Maybe? But I'm quite shocked that he would enter such a young ones mind, it's almost too stupid for him" said Snape his brow furrowing
"Why?" Dumbledore asked confused.
"Didn't you see Draco's reaction? He wasn't ready for what he saw," growled the potions professor.
"Why did you let him go back to sleep then?" asked Dumbledore.
"The Tranquille Anima should keep him out for now, but without it Draco is helpless"
Dumbledore sighed as he looked through his half-mooned glasses and said
"Then we shall protect him!"
