The next few days went by quietly without any further disturbance, but then everything changed. It was a warm Friday in spring, the students were all sitting at dinner, as suddenly there was a shatter of glass breaking and someone landed in the middle of the great hall, the hooded figure stood up straight, he had a one-slit mask with a skulls face on, his eyes were glowing in a dark blue color and he held a huge Tantoknife in his hand, „i´m here for a certain person, where is Draco Malfoy", the masked man said in a scary voice. In a matter of seconds every person was standing, wands pointing at the man, „okay, i knew it wouldn´t be easy", the man said, „but i would have rather avoided this", he sighed, suddenly the man had vanished, „now give me Draco Malfoy", came the mans voice, all heads turned towards the voice, all eyes widened in horror, they saw the man standing behind a boy from Hufflepuff, the boy was pale from fear, the man´s knife at his throat, „please stop", came Draco´s voice and he stepped forward, the man slowly lowered the knife and let go of the boy, 'sorry kid', whispered the man into the boys ear, there was a long silence, „those bastards, they are going to pay for fooling me", the man hissed in a voice that wasn´t human, his eyes glowing brighter, showing his anger, the man looked straight at Draco, the man started slowly walking towards the boy, suddenly Harry was in front of Draco, „if you want him you have to get past me first", he said, „your eyes show not fear , they show anger", the man said, pushing Harry to the side, „Draco Malfoy, i am sorry, but i can´t kill you, i don´t do kids", with that the man let the knife fall in front of Draco, then the man turned and started walking away, as he got ready to jump out of the window, he felt a small hand on his arm and he looked down, he looked into the eyes of Draco, „my ex-parents have sent you", he said, the man nodded, „they did tell me to kill their son, they didn´t tell me that he was still a child, i have one rule: children should live, and i stand to that rule", the man said, „but if they find out that you haven´t killed me they´ll send someone else", Draco said, the man was silent for a moment, then his glowing eyes became smile wrinkles, „well, there is a way to make them think you are dead", the man said.
„How", came Harry´s voice, „you seem to be Draco´s protector", the man said, Harry only nodded, „please help us", he said, the man was silent for a few minutes he looked in all directions then he smiled, „i think i could help you out, you seem to be a person worth protecting, so i shall use my technique on you that will not only save your life but also give you a new life", the man said, Draco let go of the man and stepped back, the man returned to the middle of the hall, everyone was still pointing their wands at him, „i´m not surprised that you all don´t trust me, i can´t blame you, i´m a demon, but also demons can have a heart, especially if that demon, like me, was once a human, i sold my soul to Lucifer, but instead he took my body", by now everyone was staring at the man, „yes, i am Lucifer the lord from hell", he said, everyone gasped, „okay, i am not anymore, i chose to live in the human world, to have my eyes on certain people, but i still have power and i still rule hell", the man said, „but now to the real situation", he said, the man reached in his cloak and took out a vial with a red glowing liquid. Lucifer opened the vial and drank two sips of the liquid, then he shuddered, „yuck... now i remember WHY i only do this when it´s necessary", he said, he put the vial back in his cloak, „you should all move", he said, but nobody moved, but as the man stared at the people they backed away, but kept their wands ready, „i hate this part", he said, the man suddenly clutched his stomach and crouched down growing in pain, then he looked up to the ceiling he moved his mask away from his mouth and opened his it, everybody gasped as a hand suddenly came out of the man´s mouth, then a second, then a head appeared, it was the same man, „like i said, i hate this part", said the man, who was coming out of the mouth, soon there were two men, one standing looking around, the other one gasping, „next time, make it less painful, you asshole", the man on the floor said, „oh shut it", the other one said, „shall we get on with it", asked the second man, „geez, give a old man a break", the other said, but then sighed and got up, „okay i can rest later", said the man, then he pulled a second vial out of his cloak this time the liquid was a light blue color, he handed it to his clone, the clone drank the liquid, „aaahhhh wonderful taste", then he turned to look at Draco and suddenly red beams came out of his eyes hitting Draco, the people raised their wands, „wait", the man said raising a hand and the people stopped, they watched as the red beams seemed to scan Draco´s body, after two seconds the beams stopped and Draco stood unharmed, the clone smiled, „you´ll love this part, i won´t it´s very painful", the clone said, he stood very still, then he groaned and everybody watched as the clone got smaller and younger, „why is it that the first part has to be the most painful one", the clone whined his voice becoming higher with each word until it was a small boy´s voice, the clone stopped shrinking, then his clothes glowed and turned into the Slitherins robes, the glowing eyes disappeared, then the clone took off the mask and everybody gasped in surprise, „hello, i am Draco Malfoy", the former clone said, smiling, „wow", was the only word that was heard, „this is so wired", the real Draco said, „yep", his clone said, „but hey i won´t be here for much longer", the clone said, „i´m sorry that you have to die in my place", Draco said, his clone laughed, „don´t be, remember: i´m a demon, i am already dead", he said, „yeah i know, but it´s still sad", Draco said, „this is how i fake peoples deaths, there is no other way", the demon said, „it´s time", it said turning to the fake Draco, „let´s get it over with so that i can finally get on with my sleep until you call me again", the fake Draco said, the demon picked up his Tantoknife from the floor, and the fake Draco lay himself on the floor, the demon knelt next to the boy, putting the knife to his throat, „wait", came Harry´s and Draco´s voices, the Draco on the floor and the demon turned their heads, „i wanted to say thanks, but i can´t bare watching you get „killed", will i ever see you again", asked Draco, the Draco on the floor and the demon exchanged looks and both smiled, „yes, this Tantoknife will hold his soul, every one of my „victims" has a knife like this, when i slit his throat his soul will get sucked inside and you can call him when ever you want, for example if you need help by defending off enemies", the demon said and Draco on the floor nodded, „okay, you all should close your eyes or turn away, you don´t whant to see this", the Draco on the floor said, but everybody shook their heads, „fine", the demon said, then he cut the throat of the boy, „okay, know a proof picture for the bastards", the demon said and took a photo of the „dead" boy, „okay, time for you to go into the knife", it said, the head of Draco number 2 turned with a smile, „see you soon, Draco number one", it said, „yeah", Draco said, and watched as his clone turned into a white mist and oozed into the knife, after the mist had subsided a symbol appeared on the knife, it looked like this: „DP" and the demon put the knife into it´s sheath and handed it to Draco, „here, keep it safe, this belongs to you, if you need your clone, just say: „DP, i need you!", then he´ll appear and help you and your friends, he is very powerful, so you have a great asset, and he only responses to your voice", Lucifer said, Draco took the knife, „thanks, for everything", he said, looking sad at the knife, „don´t look sad, why don´t you see if it works", the demon said, „DP, i need you", Draco said, suddenly the knife glowed and a white mist came oozing out, forming a small body, and soon there stood Draco number two, healthy with no cut throat, „you wish", he said, „i...i...i only wanted to see you again and say thanks again", Draco said, „oh it´s nothing, at least you have a twin brother now, i´m looking forward to spend some time with my new family just like you Draco, don´t worry i´ll be always by your side as long as you have the knife with you, and you still have Harry and the whole school as protectors, but the one who is the most powerful protector isn´t me, it´s someone else", Draco 2 said, „who", Draco asked, „have a guess", said Draco number two looking at Harry and smiling, „oh", said Draco, „you are well protected, and know if you will excuse me i need my beauty sleep", Draco number two said turning into smoke and oozing back into the knife, „geez, know i have two Draco´s to watch after", Harry moaned, „aww, come on Harry, it´s not that bad", Draco said, „Draco you are my brother now i have twin brothers, i don´t mind it at all i love both of you, and like your clone said, i have some power that i rather not show anyone, but if i have to i will", Harry said, Draco looked at the knife and fastened it on his belt, „suits you brother", Harry said, Draco smiled then both boys hugged happily, then they turned to the demon, „thanks, i owe you a lot, for helping us", Harry said, the demon smiled, „no you don´t, just take care of your brothers", it said, „believe me i will", Harry said, „good, now if you´d please excuse me, oh and don´t worry i´ll be watching over you both", the demon said, then a wall of flames erupted and with one last nod the demon started walking towards the wall of fire, „oi, hang on a minute", Dumbledoor said, Lucifer turned, his eyes glowing, Dumbledoor pointed to the glass on the floor and then to the broken window, the demon laughed, „of course, i should fix that", it said, the demon reached into it´s cloak and pulled out a staff with a silver snakes head on it, then he pointed the staff towards the peaces of glass, „thank goodness i still know a few spells i have learned in my youth here at this place", it said, „fixius", the glas on the floor moved and set themselves together, then Lucifer pointed his staff at the window and in a matter of seconds the window was fixed, he looked over at Dumbledoor and saw a surprised and questioning look on his face, the demon smiled under his mask, „yes headmaster, i was one of you students, i was a Slitherin, i think you also know who i was when i was still human", the demon said, Dumbledoor looked at the demon in disbelieve, „no it can´t be, Mathew Slitherin", the headmaster said, „long time since i´ve heard my human name", Lucifer said smiling, everyone in the great hall held their breaths, „i was the great, great grandson of Salazar Slitherin, my great great grandfather helped build this place as you all know", he said, „i remember that one day you had vanished you were not older than Draco", Dumbledoor said, „yes, like i said, i made a deal with Lucifer, and because i was a child, i can´t and will not kill children", he said, „i should be heading back to my world, i have work to do", Lucifer turned and walked towards the fire, before stepping in he had a last look around, „damn it, i really missed this place", he said sighing, he turned towards Harry and send him a message via mind link, great Slither from me, Harry nodded, „farewell everybody and sorry again, Dumbledoor keep these people safe, i am a bad person but also i have a heart and soul, even if it´s black, i care for people i like, oh and a warning, Voldemort is coming back, i don´t know where he is", Lucifer said, „if you need my assistance, call for me", Dumbledoor looked sad, „okay, but how will you know if i need your help", he asked, the demon smiled, he opened his cloak, „Mathew Slitherin", it called, to everyone's surprise a nine year old boy walked out of the cloak, „hello headmaster", the boy said, „Mathew", Dumbledoor said, „this is my youngest self he is my eyes and ears, if anything happens i´ll know and i´ll be here in a matter of seconds", Lucifer said, the young Mathew walked up to the headmaster and stood by his side, he also had a blue glowing in his eyes, „ok, farewell for know", Lucifer said, he nodded one last time to the headmaster, then the demon stepped into the flames, the flames sunk into the floor and the demon was gone, „well what a night", Dumbledoor said, lowering his wand and all others did the same and everyone looked at the small boy standing next to Dumbledoor.
