Chapter 13: Revelations

"Your parents are not the people you think they are." said Draco, looking at me sadly. "During the days when the Dark Lord governed our cities and his followers bred fear in the hearts of Dumbledore and his kind, us witches and wizards of the dark side had the advantage in everything. The world was ours for the taking and no one could stand in the Dark Lord's way. Once he wanted something, he would get it and not a soul in the world was foolish enough to stand in his way. One day, however, he discovered that a young girl was to be born in a small town, just a little south of Scotland and this girl would have powers even he himself could not dream of obtaining."

"That girl was me?" I asked in awe.

"Exactly." said Draco, smoothing my hair lightly as I sat in his lap. "The Dark Lord became very curious as to who this young girl could be. Your mother made a great effort to protect you and to wipe out all traces that led to you during her pregnancy but the Dark Lord knew how to find you. By the time he did, you had just been born. The woman that gave birth to you, your biological mother, was too weak to defend you when He came along so capturing you was an easy task. In fact, your mother had already passed away just minutes before his arrival. You were only a few hours old when you were robbed of the only family you had and taken away to live a whole other life than the one you would have, if the Lord had not discovered you and the powers you possess."

"This means that... my parents now.... are not my real parents?" I said hesitantly. This, out of all the lies I had discovered until now, was the hardest to believe; almost impossible.

"Yes. The people you currently call 'mother' and 'father' are not your biological parents." he admitted. "Your true father was never found and your mother did not live long after you were born. She had no legal papers either so no one could find her true identity."

"But how did I end up in the family I''m with now?" I asked.

"The Dark Lord knew that you were born to be the strongest and most talented witch of all time so he had to find you a family that would be able to give you the appropriate care and attention you needed." he continued. " Luckily for him, he had prepared Armando and Olivia Driggador for such an addition to their family. Just three years earlier, an accident had taken the life of their five-month-old daughter and the Lord came to them with a replacement for their loss; an offer they could not turn down. They accepted to keep you as their own, to treat you like the daughter they had lost, maybe even better and, in return, the Lord offered them lifetime of gold and a protection for them as well as for you. This protection, however, would only last until the process of rebirth took place."

"What does that mean?" I asked him.

"Well..." he began " Remember what happened between us last night?"

"Of course I do." I exclaimed. "What I don't understand is what this has to do with this whole story."

"It has everything to do with the story." said Draco. "The process of 'rebirth' starts the moment you mate with a male whose child you will bare. It's a sort of 'rebirth' for your powers because they are copied into your spawn and they develop along with it."

"Does this mean I'm pregnant?" I asked, staring at Draco in shock but he just chuckled and went back to patting my head.

"No, absolutely not." he said, smiling slightly at the shock displayed on my face. "It's the first time our world encounters a phenomenon such as yourself so there is no way to be entirely sure of the outcome of a night like the one we had. We are a thousand percent sure about one thing, though, and it is that if you were pregnant with my child, you would be in a coma."

"Why?" I questioned.

"Because the child would be so powerful you would not stand to be conscious during the period of time in which it grows inside of you. Plus, you are still very, very young for this kind of phenomenon to take place inside of your body. Not to mention that I am far from being an ideal father." he added with a smirk.

"You keep calling it a phenomenon." I noted.

"That's because it is one." he replied. "In any case, you don't look like you'll go into coma any time soon so it's definite that you are not pregnant."

"What a relief." I muttered sarcastically. Draco chuckled lightly and the sound made me smile. "What do we do now?"

"Well, the 'rebirth' has started, which means that the protection the Dark Lord has been providing your family with until now has been broken and abandoned." he said. "This also means that I am now your official protector and I will stay that until you decide to mate with another wizard."

"I would never do that!" I cried in horror, sitting up and looking him straight in the eyes. "You know I wouldn't."

"Of course I do." he said, looking at me, a gentle smile decorating his soft lips. How appealing they became when we were alone. "It is your choice, though. You could chose another. I was originally chosen for this task but you still have the choice to take whomever you like—" I cut him off with a kiss and only pulled back with great effort after knowing for sure that he would speak no more.

"I love you, Draco Malfoy." I told him, looking him in the eyes again. "No one will ever take that away from us and that is a promise."

Draco looked into my eyes, seeing the seriousness in them. I wanted him to know how true what I said was; I wanted him to believe me just as entirely as I believed him; I wanted him to stay with me and I knew I would never chose anyone over him, no matter who this 'anyone' was. My feelings for him were pure and true and I knew he could tell it wasn't a lie. I felt the intensity of yesterday's emotions crawling back into me as each one of us saw the other's soul through the other's eyes. His were an irresistible pale blue, almost gray. As we sat face to face it was as if the soft cushions under us were screaming words that we could not ignore. The temptation to take him in my arms like I had done the night before grew strong, but I simply could not hurt him this way again tonight. He kissed my forehead and got off the bed as my eyes fluttered slightly, threatening to close from tire. Draco realized that I was about to fall asleep and set me comfortably into my bed as I gave in to the overwhelming pressure of my dreams.
