Chapter Seven – The Room of Hidden Things
Draco managed to find Leo before he was pulled after the three Slytherins. The older twin shook his head as he realized who Blaise, Crabbe, and Goyle were following. He knew that things would've been different if Leo hadn't stepped in. He would've been the one with the two dunderheads following him as he chased after Harry Potter and more than likely would've been hoping to retrieve his wand. At the same time, he knew, just knew that he didn't have the ability to kill another person. He may have the ability to completely mask his emotions, but they were still there. He couldn't be certain the same thing could be said for Blaise Zabini. His mother was a bloody black widow after all, and he was willing to do anything for power. He may even go as far as attempt to kill Harry Potter.
He tried to clear away those thoughts as they ran into the room with his brother. The two of them were well acquainted with the Room of Hidden Things after the year before. However, locating two different groups of people within such a vast room was a different story. The twins continued to run toward all of the commotion, however, they were not prepared for what they found. Harry Potter had something silver wrapped around his wrist as Crabbe lost control of the Fiendfyre spell coming out of his wand. Goyle and Blaise were busy climbing a tall pile of junk and Harry, Ron, and Hermione were running away. Draco couldn't think of anything else, but saving their only hope from a horrible fire death. He didn't even think as he transformed into his Dragon form and mentally shouted at his twin. Get on my back you idiot. We need to save the others including Blaise and Goyle. I'm afraid that Crabbe will end up dead from his own stupidity.
Leo hopped on his back as he took to the air that was quickly filling with smoke. He was lucky that dragons were fire breathers and thus had fire, as well as, magic resistant skin. He found the three and quickly landed before them as Leo shouted, "Get on Draco's back. We need to rescue Blaise and Goyle and high tail it out of here before we end up burnt to a crisp."
The other three didn't ask any of the questions that seemed to run through their mind, as they quickly climbed on the back of the familiar dragon, though the version before them was without the added glamours. As Draco took off, Hermione managed to ask, "So, Draco Malfoy is a dragon Animagus? I guess that's quite fitting."
Leo nodded, "We'll both register after the war is over."
Draco hovered near the mountain of odd things where Blaise and Goyle held on for dear life. Leo looked over at Harry and Hermione, "Will the two of you help me get them on Draco's back?"
The two nodded as Ron made a comment about not forgiving any of them if they died saving the gits. Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes and mentally command Draco as soon as the two were on his back. We need to get to the door as fast as your flight will allow. I understand you're one of the slower dragons, however, you should be fast enough to get us to safety."
Of course Leo, you know I would roll my eyes right now if I could in this form. Draco's scathing tone cut through Leo's mind. They made it through the door as the flames engulfed the room, the six of them jumped off of Draco's back before he quickly transformed back into his version of Leo. They all watched as the silver thing hooked to Harry's wrist broke apart and crumbled on the floor.
Hermione gasped, "I forgot about Fiendfyre. It just seemed so unlikely of a way to kill one of them."
Leo noticed as Harry grabbed his forehead. They all waited with baited breath to hear what he saw. Harry exclaimed, "He's in the shrieking shack. He's requesting Snape's presence. We need to get out there."
Draco turned toward Leo and quickly pulled out his wallet. He summoned the antidote and handed it to Leo, "Take this with you and follow them in your other form. I will go and protect Dora. Nothing will happen to our cousin. I think you're form is better than mine to hide under their cloak."
Leo simply placed the vial in his pocket before transforming and running up to the other three as Harry threw his invisibility cloak over all of them. Draco took off in his Gryffindor robes toward the towers where he figured Remus and Dora would be. The Death Eaters were still overflowing the area and he had to duel his way toward his cousin. He didn't know how he knew where she was, but something was pulling him in the right direction. It was as if the twin connection extended to other family bonds. He could feel his parents outside of Hogwarts and hoped that they would make it through this as well. He didn't know how he felt about his father, but he surely wanted his mother to survive.
He managed to make it to his cousin and her husband in time to see Dolovoh hit Remus with a killing curse. He gritted his teeth when he saw his horrible aunt Bella dueling with his cousin. He pulled his wand determined not to let the bitch have his best family member. He quickly hit her with a Sectumsempra while her back was turned before claiming her wand with the disarming spell for which Potter was known. He quickly remembered being turned into a ferret for trying to hex Potter when his back was turned; however, he was happy that he hadn't learned his lesson. His insane aunt wouldn't have suspected someone firing something at her from behind. He quickly grabbed Dora and dragged her from the fight because he could tell she was in shock when she saw her husband's lifeless body. He transformed into his dragon form and placed her on his back as he chased after the now fleeing Dolovoh. His anger filled him as he let go his fire catching the fleeing man in fire.
The man was definitely and idiot as he ran around fanning the flames. Draco continued looking for the enemy's army and deciding to let them die in flames. He caught sight of the horrible werewolf Greyback and fired more flame, and clawing at him. He didn't know where his control came from but he managed not to hit one of the fighters of light. He managed to pick off a few more before the Death Eaters started to disapparate from the scene, as they seemed quite afraid.
Leo followed the others in his lion form and soon they were witnessing the horrible attack on Severus Snape. Soon silver memories were flowing from the man's every orifice and he was begging with Harry to take them. Harry quickly collected a vial of memories with Hermione's help and quickly followed the dying man's request for him to look at him. Leo acted quickly before their godfather slipped away and forced the antidote down the man's throat. He rested his wand on the man's chest and started casting the healing spell Snape had used on Draco the previous year. He didn't even notice that the other three had quickly retreated from the dilapidated building. With the antidote running through the man's system, the healing magic was able to close the wounds.
He didn't say anything as the wizard closed his eyes and quickly apparated him to St. Mungo's. The healers had managed to wade through the Death Eater storm, as Voldemort wasn't stupid enough to take out the people that could heal his followers. The people in the lobby sneered at him as he approached. He yelled in contempt, "This man is a bloody hero. He only killed Dumbledore because it was a dying man's last wish and because it would strengthen his cover. He was a bloody spy for the light you imbisols and the only reason why Harry Potter will win is because of this man here. Now get off your bloody high horses and help this man."
One of the healers in his billowing green robes looked properly admonished and quickly got a bed for Snape, "You know he was my head of house at Hogwarts. I really did wonder if what they were saying about him was correct. He seemed to be too good of a man to do what they said he did, you know."
Leo raised an eyebrow recognizing the man before him, "Pucey, I never thought you would become a healer."
"Malfoy, is that you?" Healer Pucey gasped.
"Yes, but I'm not Draco. I happen to be his twin Leo. It's a long story, don't ask. Look, I've got to get back to my family at Hogwarts. Please take care of him."
Pucey nodded, "Don't worry I will treat him the way a hero deserves."
Leo ran back to the lobby before turning on the spot and landing in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. He was shocked at the scene before him. Neville was holding the sword of Gryffindor and Harry was busy announcing that Severus was Dumbledore's man while dueling the darkest wizard of all time. As the sun began to shone through the partially destroyed walls of the Great Hall. Leo listened as Harry explained who was the true owner of the wand the dark lord coveted, and the snake eyed man's red eyes shone with intense hatred as he cast the killing curse at the same time that Harry fired the disarming spell with Leo's old wand. Time seemed to slow and speed up at the same time, as Leo witnessed the scene from both his and Draco's eyes. Then it was all over and the walking corpse of the man broke apart and was no more. Leo let out a long sigh as his mother found him in the great hall and pulled him into a hug. Draco approached them still in his Leo disguise.
Leo looked over at his father's twitching form as Draco approached, "Draco, do you think that it's time we remove father's charm? I mean you're the oldest after all. I really think it should be left up to you."
Draco scowled, "I saw what you went through while father's master occupied our manor with his followers. You were forced to torture individuals at that snake bastard's behest. It really was below a Malfoy to ever have to bow down to a wizard of lesser stature."
"Father couldn't protect us because he has been without a wand since shortly before Harry's birthday last summer. How could he protect us? Mother was the strong one in that relationship anyway."
Lucius looked back and forth between the two boys, "How about you just tell me why there are two of you and why you're both referring to us as your bloody parents?"
Leo picked up his wand and pointed it at Lucius canceling the memory charm, "There now you'll remember me and that you tried to kill me when I was still just a baby you bastard. You really are a horrible father and look how you protected our family. You chose to follow a Megalomaniac Half-blood preaching pureblood superiority when all he wanted was power."
Draco crossed his arms, "Yes well don't expect him to love you now that he remembers. I swear that man is incapable of tender feelings."
"I don't know Draco, he seemed pretty regretful of his actions while he was sitting in Azkaban. He begged me for forgiveness. Mind you this was after we had switched places and he thought I was you. Oh well we might as well wait here to find out what will happen to this family. Oh Severus is recovering at St. Mungo's."
Draco nodded, "Good, I wasn't able to save Lupin in time but I got that bitch before she could get cousin Dora."
"That's much better than little Teddy growing up as an orphan. At least he will have his mother, however, I am sad to see that kind werewolf go. I really was happy when I heard those two were married. Teddy will need someone to teach him how to control his metamorphic abilities after all. It's such a rare gift and Dora would be best to teach him."
A/N: Okay so this is what I was able to write. I'm sorry that it's been a while but I've lost inspiration for this story. I do still know how this will end, but I'm debating to whether or not I should write their repeat year at Hogwarts or if I should just end it.
