Chapter-12
Sacrifice to spare him the pain Part II
"I need to speak to you about some things. I need to know whether you will help me or whether I have to seek help elsewhere." I mutter, my hands in my pockets. I know that he has already caught upon it. He is a very intelligent man and now he knows that I won't back off. He will have to help me because no-one else is powerful enough, except perhaps McGonagal and Dumbledore.
After staring at me for a couple of minutes, he whirls around, murmuring, "Come inside." I do. I walk inside and settle down on his couch. He sits upon the other one just across me.
"I want polyjuice potion and I need to learn memory modification charms." I murmur and he looks at me again.
"I can't let you do this." He hisses at me and I get up, "I will seek help from Dumbledore then."
"NO! You won't meet that manipulative old man." He hisses again, "Sit down."
I don't. He presses gently, "Sit down. I will help you."
I sit down and look at him.
"Why are you doing this for him? I am sure that he is just like his father, arrogant and a spoiled bully."
"He is not." I mutter and he breathes deeply before replying, "Nevertheless, you are my godson. I can't let you do this Draco."
"You will if you want to protect me. I have already decided," I reply decisively, making my stand clear to him.
"Why?" He asks, his eyes curious and helpless.
I try to find an answer. I don't know why I am doing this. I want to speed up everything. i don't want him to be forced to fight. He is still innocent and new to this world. It's like a ray of hope to him. Muggle world has given him nothing but pain and misery. I want him to enjoy this world. I don't want being a wizard to be a curse on him like it sometimes seems to me. Unlike him, I am not innocent. I lost the little innocence that I had when one day, Nott's father came to my room after the dinner and tried to undress me. Luckily mother had followed him. I was taught Cruciatus that very day. Dad taught me and he apologized for what had happened. I want to spare him the harsh realities of this world. I want him to be happy.
It's better if I do it, better for him. I don't care about anyone else, except Severus perhaps.
"I don't know." I say and he looks sadly at me. His eyes are understanding and I wonder why he understands me so well. But I don't ask him. I don't want to pry.
"I understand. I will help you. If you are hurt, come straight to me, no matter how late it is. I will wait for you. I will protect you and I will keep your secret safe with me, not because I want this. I know that you won't back off and will get hurt if you are alone. That's the only reason Draco. You have always been quite adamant. Merlin knows why you care about that rude boy. I despise him."
I don't answer him. He despises Severus too. I can only hope that they will understand each other one day.
A few minutes later, he gets up and gives the polyjuice potion to me. He teaches me mind altering charms too. He tells me what memories I need to give to Weasley and Granger.
"Are you going to tell me what I need to know or do I have to spy on Quirrel. I know for a fact that he has been wandering around the damned corridor." I snap at him and he sighs audibly, "Quirrel is after the Sorcerer's stone. As you are aware, it is used for immortality. The man is hiding something under his turban. I heard him talking to someone yesterday. The other voice belonged to the dark Lord. I don't know how this is possible. If we want to save the brat, we need to-"
"I need to. You are not coming with me." I say, as a matter of fact.
"I am coming with you to destroy it." He says and I snap at him, "You can't always help me. This mightn't be the only time. I need to fight by myself and learn."
He stares at me in frustration. He knows that if he argues back, I won't come to him for help. Finally, he nods and speaks up,"I will deactivate all the puzzles guarding the stone but I can't remove Fluffy without raising suspicions. But if you keep on playing the harp, it will keep on sleeping. Beyond that, it will be easy. Go in and cast the incantation on the stone. Destroy it. Then come back. We will deal with Quirrel after that. A manticore is guarding the stone. It will ask you a question, a difficult question. If you answer it correctly, it will show you the way towards the stone."
"Okay." I say and stand up. I am about to leave when Severus stops me. I turn around but he stares mutely at me. His eyes are almost desperate when he walks towards me and takes me in his arms, mumbling, "I am proud of you."
Within seconds, he is gone and I am left staring at the closed door of his bedroom wondering what had just happened.
I know that I should go to sleep but I want to get this over with. So I walk inside my room, polyjuice potion in my hand. Honestly speaking, I am terrified. It's beyond midnight and I am tired but I must do this.
I divide the potion in two parts. In one I drop my hair and in the other, I drop Harry's hair that I had plucked off when we were playing. Mine turns light orange and his turns silver. I place both the bottles inside my pocket and walk outside.
Quietly I walk towards the Gryffindor tower. Just outside the portrait of the fat lady who is sleeping, I drink Harry's potion. A few moments later, I feel myself changing. the sensation is really very weird but I ignore and murmur, "Lion." The fat lady yawns and opens the door.
I walk in and find Granger sitting in front of the fire, fast asleep, a book in her hand. Very quietly I walk towards him and whisper, "Hermione."
She wakes and looks at me, confused. I don't give her any chance to speak. Before she can say anything, I cast the mind-altering spell on her and modify her memories. She goes to sleep again, thanks to my sleeping spell and I walk towards Harry's dorms.
His is the second one and I enter inside. The first thing which I do is to wake Ron up and alter his memories before putting him to a deep sleep as well.
Once this is done, I open Harry's curtains. He blinks his eyes open and stares at me.
"Don't scream. I am Draco. I have polyjuiced into you. Come with me to my room. I need to show something to you. I have found everything out and we need to destroy it right now. I need your help."
He stares some more before nodding and covering himself with his cloak.
I hate myself for lying to him but this has to be done.
We walk towards my dorms silently. Just before the door, he takes off his cloak and I cover myself with it.
I stay quiet until we enter my dorms and settle on my bed.
Once there, he looks at me before asking, "What is it?"
"Here, have some juice first. You must be thirsty." I say and accio my sleeping potion from my bag. I use it when nightmares don't let me sleep which is quite often.
"Where did you get it?" He asks me and takes the small vial from my hand.
"My elf gave some bottles to me. Drink it quickly. I will tell you everything after that." I lie and he nods before opening the bottle and drinking the potion. I stare at him, knowing that I have betrayed him. Even if it's for his own good, this is betrayal and it will hurt him when I return back, if I do return.
The empty bottle drops from his hand on the bed and he looks at me, his eyes dizzy.
"What was this Draco?" He asks me and I reply softly, "A sleeping potion."
"Why" He asks and I reply, "I just want to spare you the pain. I am sorry,"
But his eyes are closed and he falls on my bed. I wonder if he heard me. There is no time to ponder about this so I get up and cover the cloak around me.
It has to be easy. The puzzles have been deactivated and the dog will keep on sleeping.
It is easy that is till I reach the last chamber. Severus has done a good job and I am relieved until- until I enter the chamber and see Quirrel standing in front of Manticore. It seems that he is arguing with it.
How stupid can the man be really, arguing with a Manticore. I take my wand out of my sleeves and walk towards him. I am just about to cast the first curse when the professor whirls around and casts, "Expelliarmus."
"Protego." I yell.
"Stupefy."
"Protego."
"Expelliarmus."
"Protego."
Then comes the worst curse, worse of them all, "Cruciooooooo." The wand drops from my hands and I scream in pain.
"Potter." The professor mutters after walking towards me. I am on my knees on the floor, trying to gather my breath.
"Cruciiiioooooo." He yells again. I moan. Tears stream down my eyes and I think that he would never stop. But then he does and when I look up, he is talking to himself.
"But master, you are still weak." He stutters.
"I am strong enough for this. Remove your turban." A voice hisses and I shudder.
Then he turns around and unwraps the turban and I stare and stare, trying to understand what I am seeing.
All the while, the manticore is just sitting on the floor, looking at me with curious eyes. My head is hurting and my eyes are stinging. My lips are bleeding. My entire body hurts. Cruciatus has to be the most painful curse. It isn't the dark lord's favorite curse for nothing.
"Harry Potter. Hello. I am Lord Voldemort." The grotesque face whispers and I want to vomit all over the floor.
"This is what you have reduced me to. This grotesque being... but no more. I want the stone. With it, I will be able to procure a body and Lord Voldemort will rise again."
"No." I whisper and the professor casts the bloody curse again and again until I have lost count.
Then something strange happens. The manticore finally gets up and walks towards us.
"Bring the stone." The professor hisses and I shake my aching head. My face is drenched with tears but I try to focus on the manticore who is walking slowly in our direction.
"You have turned me into this Harry Potter. You snatched my body away and I will have it now. BRING THE STONE."
"Nughh- no." I stammer out, unable to speak. I am shaking like a leaf.
It happens in a blur. A slash of the manticore's tail and the professor is dead. The weird face which belongs to Voldemort screams and vanishes right in front of my eyes. It is almost funny except that I am feeling dizzy and it pains so much but I have to stay awake. I have to destroy the bloody stone. Otherwise Voldemort would come back and I can't let it happen, not when Harry is still so vulnerable.
"I - I want to destroy the stone." I murmur and the manticore walks towards me, looking at me with intelligent eyes.
"Answer honestly." It murmurs before continuing, "What is it that you desire most in your life?"
It should be easy to answer, shouldn't it? Except it isn't. A few months ago, I could have said ' to become a potions master' but today I just- I just desire to be with Harry. I don't understand the meaning of this and I don't know why I want this but I do so I whisper in a pained voice, "Harry."
The manticore looks at me and whispers in a melodious voice, "Good."
A beautiful stone appears in front of me. I stare at it. Such a small thing. I shake my head to gather my thoughts. I must remember the incantation. The cruciatus curse has muddled my head. I will have to ask father to cast it on me in the coming holidays. I should be able to tolerate it for a longer period of time. Merlin knows that it's the favorite curse of bloody death eaters and Voldemort.
Somewhere in the haze of mind Severus's clear voice echoes and I cast the incantation.
The stone starts burning and finally, I close my eyes, unable to keep them open any longer.
"Don't worry, little dragon. I will ensure that you reach where you want to be. Go to sleep. You have done quite enough for a night."
I lose my consciousness, wondering how she knew that I am not Harry.
