Dramione: The Seer
Chapter One: The Vision
Carefully watching over the triplets at the funeral was one of the hardest things I had ever had to do. I heard the triplets let out huge sobs as they watched their mother be brought down the isle in a casket. I was awake for nights just thinking about the lovely mother of my children. No one in the family ate or slept we all just sat in front of the television on the couch and daydreamed about our time with Hermione. No one moved. One day while thinking I stood up and said firmly "you will go to school today and eat something and you will enjoy yourselves with soccer after school! I don't want to see you home until dark. Do you understand me?" The triplets glanced up at me in awe as they quickly scurried off to their rooms to get dressed in their uniforms. I heard them start laughing when they came running down the stairs as Damon tried to trip Elizabeth. That was when I realized that Hermione had been gone for over a year and that we all had to move on.
As my kids walked up the street I say a huge grin on their faces and smiled at the thought of my kids being happy. But for how long my mind questioned? I left my kids home with the one man I trusted most of all, Remus Lupin as I went off to work for the first time since Hermione had run off with my children that dreadful afternoon six years ago. When I walked home I heard the door of my house open and Remus yell out that Cassandra had fainted. I darted to the house where I saw my eldest daughter on the cold wooden floor. I ran up to her with a cold cloth in my hand and carefully set it on her head as her eyes started to flutter open. She looked at me with tear filled eyes and say "I saw you dead daddy I saw you killed by Voldemort how are you here if I saw you die?"
I looked at her as I realized instantly that my daughter had the gift of sight and could see the future. I knew that Hermione was a seer and that I was not very shocked to hear this but scared because I knew that she might be able to live though them because of her age and her not being mentally compatible with the strength of her visions. I felt my eyes start to go misty as I stared at her. I took her up into my arms and said it was going to be alright as I ascended the stairs to her room. As soon as her head hit the pillow she was out cold in a deep sleep. I heard the door open and heard Remus ask if she was alright. I explained that we were the only ones who could know that Cassandra was a Seer.
Remus looked at me shocked and I noticed one tear fall down his cheek as he realized she might not live through the visions. I gave Cassandra a kiss on the forehead and left so I could put the other to bed. When I woke up the next morning I saw Damon in Cassandra's room shaking her violently for she would not wake. He was crying and trying to wake his sister. We both could not hear a heart beat. I ran over to my potions cupboard and grabbed an elixir which as soon as it touched her lips started her heart. She woke with a start as her brother ambushed her with hugs and kissed. Elizabeth and Damon refused to go to school so they could stay with their sister all day. I unfortunately had to go to work because if I did not we would loss the house and everything and Lupin had to go to teach at Hogwarts.
Chapter Two: The Kidnapping
As Cassandra grew she went to Hogwarts and was sorted into the Ravenclaw house. Elizabeth into Slytherin and Damon was sorted into Gryffindor. I was so proud of them but I was so nervous when it came to my eldest because she still had no idea about her gift and she had not had another vision since that night. What she told me rang in my head again. "I saw you dead daddy I saw you killed by Voldemort." I wiped away a stray tear as I heard the door bell ring. At the door I saw someone I wanted to see the least. In front of me stood my older brother Jesse. He asked what was wrong as he saw tears falling down my cheek. I told him everything since Hermione's death. He looked at me in awe and caught me as I started to collapse to the floor. He carried most of my weight back to the couch and asked if Luke knew.
I told him I doubt it and then it dawned on Jesse as he saw the girls' clothes on the floor. "Draco where are the kids?" Jesse asked. I told him that they were at school and I also explained to Jesse that Cassandra was a Seer and asked if he could keep an eye on her. I froze with fear as I was told by my brother that he had not seen the triplets for a week or two. Then Cassandra's voice spoke in my mind "Daddy help us… Voldemort had one of my ex-best friends kidnap us when we went to Hogsmead two weeks ago. Please daddy help us. Damon is horribly injured from trying to protect us. Help! " I collapsed to the floor as an image of my children played across my mine.
"Draco!" What's wrong come on lets get you to the hospital. "NO! Jesse! My kids are in danger we have to rescue them now." I darted for my coat then only to late realized it was a portkey and I landed right next to my son. I unbound his hands and we worked on the girls' hands. I told them to get back to my coat as I saw Voldemort canter out of the corner. They dashed for the coat and that was when I saw them disappear everyone except Damon who stood behind me and watched my back. I yelled at Damon for not listening and he only screamed back by saying "I'm your son, I lost my mother and there was nothing I could do I'm not leaving here without fight with you. I'm not losing you too; you heard Cassandra's vision last year."
Tears flooded my eyes as I realized this was what Cassandra saw last year. I feared for my son's life for he was only twelve years old and had never even lived yet. That's when I spoke up and told Voldemort a very important question; "You can kill me if you leave my family alone and let my son leave here untouched." I heard Damon scream as Voldemort took him by the arm and apparated him back to the house. I looked up as I saw darkness start to fall over me slowly. I awoke in a damp room on the concrete floor. I knew I would never see my family again but I also knew my brother would take care of them.
When I looked around I saw a young girl about my age and I realized the young girl. I never thought I would see this girl again but there six feet away from me was Hermione Jean Granger holding my son Nikolie James Malfoy. I stared in disbelief as I took hold of them. Both of them I thought to be dead but were clearly alive but just barely. They were sick and freezing. I took out my wand and conjured up two coats to try and warm them. They both explained how Voldemort had used the resurrection stone on them to bring them back to life because they had an important job to do.
Chapter Three: The Confusion
I was questioning this statement because I could not believe that Voldemort would bring back the very people he killed to begin with. Just as I was thinking that I saw one other person come in and walk through the cellar doors. There in front of me stood another person who was buried six feet under sold ground in Godrics Hollow Cemetery, "Gellert, How?" I stared at him in awe then I thought resurrection stone. He came over to me and kicked me with full force in the stomach screaming "this is what you get for killing me you jerk!"
I don't remember anything after that but I remember waking up to me in my bed at my house with my family sitting around me sleeping. I wondered how I got home but I never questioned it because I was with the very family I thought I would never see again. I started to get up but someone stopped me quickly. I looked into the bloodshot eyes of my son Damon. He looked at me with concern in his eyes as he helped me up and carried most of my weight to the bathroom. He gave me a quick hug and helped me back to bed.
I read one of my favorite books, The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, while everyone slept silently in their chairs. One of the first things I noticed was that Cassandra was the first one up because she nearly had a heart attack when she saw me reading my book. She woke up everyone in the room when they heard her scream her high- pitched obnoxious scream. I was bombarded with hugs and kisses from everyone. One thing I noticed was Damon and Jesse trying to usher everyone away so I could breathe then Jesse came over and gave me a hug and said "Welcome back we lost you for a minute there, we found you outside an ally on 5th Street."
Walking down the stairs had become a difficulty in its own and then the thought came to me I'm going to have to climb back up those stairs later. I decided to sleep on the couch for the following nights because it was easier and I feared the trip up almost having tumbled down the stairs one or twice already. I went to work five days later after sneaking out of the house from the watchful eye of my family. Our routines started to go back to normal after Christmas break which the kids had spent at school catching up on all of the academic homework and class work they had missed.
I stayed with my brother for a while to try and wash away the memory of seeing Hermione and Nikolie again. The memory just kept returning and I would constantly cry myself to sleep knowing the mother of my children was still out there. I would have dinner ready for myself and Jesse every night but no one ate anything for fear of Voldemort finding me and the family. Jesse tried to comfort me but it never worked. One day when I left and went to work I saw a pair of deatheaters on the corner of the street starting to follow me.
I started running as fast as I could but tripped and stumbled right to the feet of Gellert who laughed at me pitiful attempt to escape the deatheaters. I tried to crawl back but was kicked in the back by the two deatheaters who had apparently walked up closely to me. My vision went blurry as I saw my brother run up to be with his wand pointed at the deatheaters while trying to help me. When I was brought back to the house I saw my daughter Elizabeth in the fireplace who had used magic to come home. She looked petrified as she saw me hunched over then got over the shock and ran over to help Jesse to carry me in.
Chapter Four: Time with My Daughters
"Dad! What happened to you?" Elizabeth asked worriedly. Jesse replied by saying "Your father was attacked by deatheaters outside and I got to him in the nick of time." She rushed into my arms and gave me a huge hug as she started to cry. I asked her what happened and she said "Daddy, I have almost lost you so many times I don't want to lose you. You have to be more careful, I already lost mum, and I can't lose you too." I gave her a kiss and carried her to bed as she looked whiter then a ghost and threatened to faint. She awoke three days later and could hardly walk. She had had a fever of over 100º and was considerably weak. When she woke I was right there by her side.
She managed a weak smile when she saw my face. "What happened to you sweetheart?" I asked her. "I have been so over worked in school, I came home so I could relax a couple of days. I had over five essays do and it had to be at least three parchments full. I could not handle all of the work daddy." "What subjects are you taking honey?" I questioned her. She replied "Potions, Defense against the dark arts, Charms, Transfiguration, Herbology, History of Magic, Astronomy, Flying, Care of Magical Creatures, and Divination." "That's way too many classes hon, what are you doing taking all of those classes in your first year?"
She ignored my question as she stared right past me and into the eyes of her brother who gaped at her. "What happened to you sis?" He asked showing no hit of any feeling but his eyes showed concern and sorrow, his eyes bloodshot. "Damon what happened? What is it son?" I asked with panic in my voice. "Cassandra she… she…" his voice faltered. "What happened with Cassandra?" I got up and took Damon by his shouldered. "Her visions they have really taken a toll on her dad, she has been unconscious for twenty-five days. Charlie Weasley found her almost dead coming out of the Ravenclaw common room."
When I got to the door I realized I left Elizabeth in bed a rushed back over to her about ready to apologize but before I could she interrupted me by saying "Go she might not make it, go dad I will have Uncle Jesse bring me once I've gotten dressed." I left kissing her on the cheek as she started to get up and go into the bathroom. When I arrived at the Hospital wing I saw Charlie Weasley sitting next to her pleading with her motionless body to wake up.
I rushed up and asked him how she was he told me she was just barely hanging on to life. I felt tears flooding over my cheeks. I then heard Charlie say something I never heard anyone else say in my life to my daughter, he said "Cassandra please wake up baby, I love you and I can't live without you here with me, wake up please." I started to see her eyes starting to open and her arms flinch. I called for the nurse and she almost ran over when she heard Cassandra start talking to Charlie and us.
I wiped away my tears as fresh ones moved in. She asked how long she had been unconscious and Damon and I answered in unison "twenty-five days." She started to freak out and try and get out of bed because of all the homework she had missed. Just then we heard the double doors open and someone gasp. I turned around in horror to see Hermione standing in the doorway in total shock. In her arms she held Nikolie and behind her stood Ginny. She rushed over to her daughter and kissed Cassandra on the cheek. Damon stood in place shaken down to his very core.
Chapter Five: Reunion with Their Mum
"Mum…?" Damon stared in shock. "Now, who is this handsome young man?" Hermione asked jokingly. "Come give your mum a hug or are you to old for hugs now?" Hermione asked. "Never for you mum. I love you so much." Damon replied. Right then and there I knew what I had to do I got down on one knew and proposed to her once again. The first time I proposed she died slightly after to I repurposed and she said yes.
As we walked the corridors we talked about everyone and everything that had been going on for the past year. Then it dawned on Hermione "Where's Elizabeth?" Right when she said that we saw Elizabeth come running up the stairs with the largest smile in the world on her face. She ran right to Hermione and almost knocked her off her feet. The reunion between Hermione and the kids was magnificent to see.
Hermione came home with us along with Nikolie to visit his half brother and sisters. Nikolie was now five and just starting normal school in the city. He got along with everyone just fine and sat in Elizabeth's lap the whole time just laughing and playing with his siblings.
Hermione and I left the children alone in the dining room for a little while, while we went off to talk privately about He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named (Voldemort). "Hermione how did you escape from Voldemort?" "The dummy forgot to put the protection spell on the dungeon to prevent anyone from using magic to get out. You would think a wizard that strong would think to put a simple charm on the place."
I left it to that for fear of Hermione getting suspicious when I glanced down through on her left arm I saw something I would have never had suspected from my beautiful fiancé. On her arm was The Dark Mark, Voldemort's Mark. I quickly looked away from her to hide the torture on my face from Hermione. I started to see my vision go fuzzy and clear up as I wiped the tears from my eyes.
"Dra, what's wrong babe? Why are you crying?" I just got up and left she then looked down and noticed the mark was showing she quickly got up ready to explain everything but I held up my hand warning her not to even bother. "Get out Hermione, I never want to see you again. You lied to the entire family and you're just not welcomed here anymore." It pained me to say that because the kids had just gotten their mother back and now I find that out.
"Say your goodbyes and then get out Hermione go." I said heartbroken. "Dr-" "Save it Hermione I don't have time for your pointless explanations that will only hurt the family more." I interrupted her. "Hay kids, I need to tell you something. I can't live here anymore, I'm sorry babies but I'm leaving and you can't come with me." Hermione said choking back sobs. "Mum! What are you doing we just got you back why are you leaving us again? Does it have anything to do with The Dark Mark because if it does we don't care we just care that you're her with us like a real mother." Damon said on the verge of crying.
I was about to break I could feel it; my heart was breaking as I watched my kids being separated from their mother once again. "Mommy please stay with us we can't live without you, you're our mother and we love you." Elizabeth pleaded with her mum. "Mum please I'm begging you to stay with us. We can't and we won't live without you, we refuse to." Cassandra finally spoke up and you could see in her eyes she was anything but joking.
Chapter Six: An Unexpected Event
Damon spoke up when his mother and I left the house. "We have to do something to make dad regret his decisions tonight. Who's with me?" "We are!" Elizabeth and Cassandra answered in unison. "Okay good now I have a plan." When I walked into the house I saw my kids huddled up in the corner arms on shoulders whispering to each other. When I went to my room I locked my door and collapsed to the floor sobbing silently to myself. I suddenly felt woozy then I heard a scream from down stairs, I got up to see what happened but blacked out.
When I awoke my children were sitting around me on the floor. The door had been broken down and panic was on everyone's face. It was clear that Cassandra had had a vision. When they saw me starting to come to they called Jesse in from outside the room. By the looks of it he looked like he had been sitting outside the door crying because his cheeks were wet and his eyes were bloodshot.
"How are you brother?" Jesse asked fear taking over him from something that had happened other then me. On his face he now wore a long gash across his right eye that ran down his cheek and reached the tip of his lip. As I was looking around I saw everyone's faces. Damon now had his right arm pressed against his chest. Elizabeth hid her face from my view as if ashamed of looking at me, and Cassandra had a sprained ankle and her arm gashed.
"What happened to everyone? Elizabeth look at me right now!" I demanded. Elizabeth turned her face toward me and I saw her face. Elizabeth had gashes all down her face and was bleeding dramatically. She started crying as she saw the pain in my eyes. She got up and ran crying from the room. "Jesse what happened to everyone?" I asked "We were attacked by deatheaters while you were unconscious. Cassandra saw the vision of them hurting you and she rushed right outside with Damon and Elizabeth. They never told me anything, the way I found out was I heard them scream when Cassandra got hurt. They all continued to fight for you until the end though."
I tried getting up but everyone stopped me. I ignored their pleas for me to stay still and got to my feet. I carried each of Cassandra to bed while Damon went to his room. I told Jesse to wait for me in the hall then went to cheek up on Elizabeth. I knocked on the door and then slowly opened it. "Baby? Are you alright?" As I walked in I saw my little girl crying in the bathroom washing her arms and trying to leave her face alone. I walked over to her and had her sit on the rim of the tub while I took a wet cloth and carefully washed her face to get rid of the blood.
As I washed off her face she cried silently to herself and when I finished I took her into a bear hug. When I left the room I saw Jesse on the hallway floor with his head in his knees. "Jesse are you alright?" I asked my brother sincerely. "It's all my fault Draco I let you down I am suppose to help you watch the kids I am the uncle and I failed you and the kids, I'm so sorry." I took my brother into my arms and hugged him. I got up and went into my daughters' room and asked them to come out for a minute then went to Damon's room and asked him to come out for a minute.
"Kids I have a question, is it your uncle's fault you got hurt today?" The kids all answered no in unison. Then each one walked up and hugged their uncle telling him face to face it was not his fault. Jesse stood up and hugged them back after finally stop crying. I was so proud of my children today because they fought for what they believed in.
Chapter Seven: The Meetings
When the kids when to school I would go to work and then come home and go to bed. Jesse was worried sick about me because I never talked anymore. I was tired with life because everything bad seemed to happen to our family. One day I got an owl from Hogwarts and it explained that all my kids had missed almost all their classes in the past month. I hung up the phone and called Damon's cell phone. "Hello, who's this?" Damon answered. "Damon it's your father I was wondering if you could come home for a minute with your sisters?" I asked my son. "Sure dad we will be home-" the line cut off and Damon finished the sentence in person as he walked up and hugged me.
"Hay son, how has classes be lately?" I asked innocently. "Alright why dad did the teachers call or something?" Damon replied. "Kids sit down please and listen closely." Everyone sat down on the couch and I sat in the chair opposite them. "I got an owl today saying you have missed your classes for the past month and are failing. Would you like to explain this to me now?" Cassandra's voice spoke up against the others "It's nothing daddy please may I get back to class?" "NO Cassandra Ann Malfoy you will listen to me now along with you two!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"Dad what has gotten into you? Why are you so mad at us? It's not like you care about us we can see it in the way you look at us you never wanted us only mom did and then you kicked her out." I stared in shock as Cassandra scream right back in my face. "GET OUT NOW CASSANDRA GET OUT AND NEVER COME BACK. I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU IN MY LIFE AGAIN!" I screamed. She got up and turned around before she slammed the door shut. "I'll go live with mom then." She said with tears in her eyes.
Damon and Elizabeth had never seen me blow up like that before and it showed on their faces. Jesse ran into the living room and right after Cassandra after he heard me scream. Damon and Elizabeth got up right after and ran after their sister. I collapsed onto the ground and sobbed deeply into my hands. I got up took a handful of floo powder and steeped into the fireplace and shouted "Hermione Granger's house!" I suddenly stood in the middle of Hermione's living room.
Hermione looked up from her book and looked stunned to see me. We heard a knock at the door. I whispered to Hermione to follow me for a minute and she did, she yelled from the kitchen she would be right there. I told her all about Cassandra and my conversation and she agreed with me. She cantered over to the door and answered it already knowing who it was.
There conversation went the same way ours did but without the your not apart of this family anymore bit. I cried when I heard what nasty things the kids had to say about me behind my back. The only one who never said anything was Damon and Jesse. That night the guys came home to me and my daughters stayed with Hermione. I never felt so bad in my life knowing that my family hates me.
That was one of the main reasons I decided to go antagonize Voldemort and get myself killed. I knew the guys would try and stop me so I knew I would never tell them. First thing in the morning I got dressed and left without a word good bye. I found a portkey that took me to Voldemort and I was slowly kicked to death by Gellert. Right on the verge of death though the kicking stopped and I blacked out.
Chapter Eight: The Awakening and A Fresh Start
Don't ask why the kicking stopped but when I awoke I had an idea why. My daughters stood over me facing out with their wands pointed at on my left and Cassandra to my right. I just lied there as I heard a raspy voice say "He came to me not the other way around." And then Cassandra replied in a harsh tone "I don't care if he came here of his own free will or not he is my father and you don't mess with him unless you want to mess with the whole family." That's when I saw everyone else in the corner ready to help out if needed hiding behind a crate.
"Back down girls it's alright." I said standing up to face the source of the noise. Five yards away from me stood Voldemort with his pet snake Nigini ready to pounce to protect her master. "Well, well, well look who's finally awake. Took you long enough Draco!" Gellert replied reclining on the chair behind his master. "Why don't you say that to my face Gellert?" I spat at him as we stood nose to nose now. Gellert backed down after I stared him down for about three minutes.
That's when I heard Voldemort speak up, "Callie come out here baby." A little girl about seven walked out from behind the chair. "Draco met Callie, Callie met Draco. You're going home with the nice man today to live with him for six months." Voldemort demanded Callie. "Yes daddy" she squealed in terror. As she ran over to hide behind me, I stood up straight and spoke my mind to Voldemort, "Who are you to boss this little girl around like she's your slave. It's not right and she should be treated better then this." After I said this I ushered everyone out of the building and then went home with the little girl following closely at my heal.
When we walked through the threshold I noticed the small little girl had tears running down her flushed cheeks from the cold winter snow outside. "Callie, this is my family, my daughters: Cassandra and Elizabeth, my son: Damon, and my brother, Jesse." I said to her in a kind tone. "Where's my room?" Callie asked me in a hushed tone. "You will be staying in Damon's room because the girls already share a small bedroom. Damon would you show Callie to her room?" I asked Damon politely.
