It was painful when she forced me to look at her. "I'll reward you if you watch me wizard," she said. I wanted to ask when did she not punish but I held my tongue. I had doubt of whatever reward she was offering yet I didn't want to disobey her. You disobey you get punished very brutally. She came over to Dolores side she flinched as the mistress touched her gently on the cheek.
"I know why you hate 'muggles' Dolores. Your father abandoned you and your mother for one and you haven't forgiven him since," stated the Sister. Dolores was speechless for a moment. I had the same look when I was taken. She told me the fact of why I really hated them. Draco, I filled your head with hateful thoughts from early childhood and it was very selfish of me. I'll get to that point later on.
Umbridge screamed as her body began to change. Her skin and bones began to reshape itself into a grotesque giant frog. It was disgusting but watched the whole transformation just like the Sister wanted me to do. Umbridge whimpered as they put a collar around her thick neck and dragged her for her eternal punishment. "Good boy," she said patting my head like a dog.
"You can stand up now," she said, her tone a command not a suggestion. It really hurt to move but I knew it would hurt worse if I disobey her. With effort I slowly stood up. As I got to my feet I felt warmth engulf me. It was the kind of warmth that wraps you in a blanket after walking in the cold. I was puzzled by this, why do I feel comfort when I'm in a place of constant unrest? It became more troubling once I lifted my head.
I wasn't in the labyrinth anymore but back at the Manor. The sun was shiny though the windows and the breeze was just right for a spring day. I walked to the window looking outside, it was so beautiful. It was the first time I ever appreciated what I had yet it was mild to what came next.
"Lucius," called a familiar voice. I turned slowly to that voice thinking it was all in my head yet she was there standing a foot away from me. She was wearing all white. "Narcissa," I called her name softly almost close to tears in fact. I went to her kissing her like I've never kissed before.
"I thought you were gone forever," I said between kisses. She lead me to the bedroom. It was wonderful, I felt like I was in heaven but sadly it wasn't real. After I made love to her several I fell asleep. It was the first peaceful sleep I've had in a while but once I woke up I personally wished I hadn't.
I was no longer in the Manor, I was in a room decorated in red velvet smelling strongly of cinnamon. I turned to the other side of the bed then got out of it in horror. The woman in bed with me wasn't Narcissa, it was her. I'll admit she looked pretty in her human form but I knew what she looked like underneath. "You tricked me!" I shouted. The Sister didn't wake up in surprise. She only turned and looked at me.
"I gave you a reward like I promised."
"No….That wasn't a reward. That was a cruel trick to amuse you!" She got out of bed with her humanity peeling away to reveal what she truly was. Instantly I regretted my outburst.
"You should be thankful that I gave you some peace of mind but clearly you don't appreciate my hospitality!" she snapped taking one of the carving knives from her belt. I knew in an instant what she was going to do and I was already dreading it.
"No…please, not that. Anything but that!" I pleaded literally on my knees. She showed me no mercy.
"You know I can't do that wizard," she smiled making me look up at her then she began skinning me alive. While I was in indescribable I heard her say, "Pity you were such a good lover."
