Chapter 12: Freeing Draco, Part 2
His mind reeling with what to do, he was startled when his shoulder was hit by a hand. Looking towards it, he realised it was His Master, alerting him to the fact that Draco was tucked into Severus' arms.
"We're almost there!" came the voice of a glee-filled Rodolphus not far from them. At that moment Lucius knew they only had to turn the corner and... but they never appeared. Instead, two thumps came from their direction.
Who?
Lucius' silent question was soon answered as a blonde girl appeared in front of them. He had no idea who she was, but his senses recognised her.
"Ah, I knew you were here, Lord Malfoy. When I saw those two leave the party to come down here, I just had to help," she said, her voice sure. "We'd better get out of here. Probably others are waiting for them to take Draco to the party," she finished, looking at the motionless rescue party.
"Who are you?" Lord Potter asked, his eyes narrowing at the girl. "How did you know we were here?"
"You don't recognise me? Aw, I'm hurt Potter. I'm Daphne Greengrass. On how I knew, I'm an elf. I could sense Lord Malfoy. But no time for chit-chat now, we'd better get out of here," there was urgency in her voice that made everyone move towards where they came from.
"You do know that I will question you under Veritaserum when we get to Headquarters," Lord Potter assured her.
"Of course. I wouldn't go with you otherwise, as that would prove you a fool," she smiled at him.
Lucius concentrated on getting to the portal as fast as their feet would carry them. Draco seemed to weight nothing in Severus' arms as the man ran with him. The blond was afraid that his son was gone further than they could bring him back. He was awake, but just stared off into space like a lifeless doll.
Soon they were in front of the place where the door disappeared and Lucius cut his palm once again to put it against the wall. The opening became visible and the little group rushed through it. They heaved a sigh of relief and proceeded on their way more calmly. No one said a word and their way back through the tunnel and then the forest was uneventful. The Death Eaters had probably not discovered Draco's escape until the time they Apparated back to Grimmauld Place.
However, the silence was broken as they arrived to safety.
"Snape, take Draco to his room and see what you can do for him. I expect a full report once you are done," the Lord started to issue his orders. "Lucius, go to the Potion Lab in the basement and get the Veritaserum. Miss Greengrass, follow me," he concluded, motioning for her to follow him.
Lucius went down and got the bottle of clear liquid labelled as 'Veritaserum' in Severus' neat handwriting. Beforehand he noted that His Master went to the sitting-room with Miss Greengrass, and followed them there. Lord Potter was situated in his favourite arm-chair and in front of him Daphne Greengrass was calmly sitting on a sofa, lightly smiling at the frowning Leader. Her hand was resting in her lap among the folds of her expensive robes. For a second her eyes meet Lucius' and he desperately tried to convey to her not to reveal just how she could sense him in the Manor. She appeared to understand him as the corner of her lips quirked up a little bit. Still, the blond man would not let relief fill him until the interrogation was over.
"Here is the potion you requested, My Lord," Lucius said, holding out the bottle and bowing for His Master. He took it without even looking at the blond man and stood up to go before the young woman.
"Hold out your tongue," he commanded.
She did as was told and Master Potter let three drops fall on her tongue. Afterwards, he sat back down and for a second or two contemplated Daphne Greengrass.
"Are you a Death Eater?" came his first question.
"No. As I am female, my parents managed to convince Voldemort that I would not be of much use to him other than bearing pure-blooded children for my future husband. The truth was, my father thinks me embarrassingly weak. My mother supports that idea to keep me away from whatever plans he would otherwise have for me," she stated. Lucius nodded a bit at the information. Many traditional families thought the female children to not be of much use.
"Hmm. Just how strong are you magically?" Lord Potter went on.
"Very. My mother is part elf. Her real mother, not the one who ended up raising her was a full blooded elf. However, she was banished from her home after she delivered my mother. My grandfather just wanted elven blood in the family, but not an actual elf," she explained, gesturing smoothly along with her story. "The funny thing is, elven traits are dominant and will continue to dominate over the human traits for many generations to come even without the the inclusion of another elf into the family. Of course as you probably know, elves are strongly magical creatures and are always very powerful," she concluded.
His Master seemed to think the provided information through for a few minutes, until he asked his next question.
"Does your father know about you and your mother being elves? Also, if you are an elf, where are your pointed ears?" he said, looking straight at her round ears made visible by her hair being tucked behind her ears.
She smiled widely then, it clearly being very easy for her to talk about such things. Lucius wondered when His Lord would get back to asking about Voldemort.
"Of course my father was never informed. He would not have married my mother otherwise. We may be magical, but we are not fully human. About my appearance, there is such a thing as a 'natural glamour'. It hides the ears and dulls the eye colour to a more human trait. I have had it on since I was five. Before that, my mother applied a glamour on me every day. It's much easier this way as I only have to concentrate on putting it on or taking it off, not between," she informed him.
"Drop it," his voice was firm and let no room for argument.
Daphne complied with her usual grace. She just looked him straight in the eye and her ears suddenly changed to a bit longer, elegantly pointed ones. Her eyes boring into the emerald greens of the wizard became the vivid blue colour of the sky on a summer day. Lucius just smiled at how much more beautiful she became.
"Good," Potter applauded her. "I would prefer that you keep your true form at all times. Now, I have just one more question."
Just one? Lucius couldn't help but let the awaited relief flood him. Though he was also frowning a bit at the shortness of the interrogation. He was afraid that His Lord was not being thorough enough.
"Why did you decide to join me, Daphne?" he asked.
The blond man was nervous again. He hoped that none of her reasons included anything of his secret. He anxiously waited for her answer.
"I've wanted to join you for some time," she began. "I never bought into the insane propaganda that those purists have been sprouting. All that inbreeding is just not smart. I knew you were powerful from the minute I spotted you while we were waiting to be sorted in first year. I have been just waiting for you to actually do something with that power," she waved her hand, dismissing the notion that he may never have done so. "I was worried a bit that under Dumbledore's thumb you would just become another one of his puppets and blindly go along with everything that controlling man came up with. In the end, however, he died and you took the leadership role. Ever since then I have been looking for an opportunity such as the one tonight. When it presented itself, I took it with both hands," she declared. "Now I am ready to follow you in this war and I'm sure I will be of much use to you."
Potter just nodded. He stood up and looked at Lucius, who had not moved from beside his arm-chair.
"Lucius, please take Daphne to one of the free bedrooms and make sure that she is comfortable. After that you may retire to your room. Daphne, good night," he finished, turning to her at the end of his string of orders and swept out of the room.
Malfoy silently lead the young woman up to the bedroom just opposite from him, right next to the one that had been prepared for his son. It was a simple space with dark-wood furniture and light green textures. She looked around briefly and then turned to him.
"He doesn't know, does he?" it wasn't really a question, more like a statement.
"No, and I intend to keep it that way," Lucius made sure that his voice rang strong.
"Do not worry. Still, he is your Master. You really should inform him of what you are," she said, raising a delicate eye-brow.
"When the time is right for it, I will," he assured her. "Now I will let you rest. Good night." He left her and went into his room.
Once there, he stood in the middle, but knew that he would not be able to sleep. His Lord had told him to go to his room after taking care of Daphne, but he could not rest knowing his son was in the house, injured. Therefore he quickly showered and changed, then left his private sanctuary to enter Draco's room. He found Severus sitting on a chair next to his bed, observing the sleeping young man. Lucius really looked at his son for the first time since the rescue. He was pale. Much more pale than was natural for him. There were bruises around his lips and on his neck. The father could not see further because of the blanket, but was tempted to uncover him in order to further observe the condition of his son. However, he knew that may not be wise and therefore settled to asking Severus.
"How is he?" his voice shook in a very un-Malfoy like manner.
"Dreadful, my friend," Lucius could hear that the other man was distraught over the state of his godson. "His bones have been broken and mended in his arms and legs a couple of times. He suffered a concussion that was not treated about a month ago. There have also been other smaller injuries done to his body like bites and scratches. However, the worse damage was done to his privates. His cock must have been tortured with something that would cause it to inflame a couple of times. And his rectum ... well, he has been used, Lucius," he chocked. "I dare not say how many times he must have been raped and split apart. The situation there took most of my wand-work. Repairing tissue and the rest. I just hope I made it all right again," he finished, burying his face in his hands.
"Go to sleep, Severus," he said, putting a hand on the other man's shoulder. "I will stay here with him."
"Very well. But first I'll deliver my report to Potter." He stood up and headed out the room. He knew that he could not argue with a father who had just recovered his son and he needed to go anyway.
Lucius took the chair the Potion Master had vacated and just stared at the sleeping angel that his Draco was. His delicate pointed features were the same, but the colour of his skin was no longer the perfect milky white, but rather a sickly almost yellowish. His hair was so long, the ends split and thin, a testament to all he had suffered the past year. He recalled the empty eyes he had seen staring out of that face earlier and sent a silent prayer up to the Gods that his bright spirit had not been irrevocably broken.
