Finding Draco Malfoy
Chapter fourteen
From the darkness cometh
Morning broke over headquarters filling the rooms with hazy light, clouds obscured the rising sun, rain was steadily falling pattering barely audibly on the window panes. Hermione was curled up in the library on a window seat staring unblinkingly in to the gloomy street. Behind her shuffling and muffled groans echoed through the large room. One hundred and ten men and woman lay injured behind her, the product of the Demon and his wrath. Below her Malfoy, Lestrange, Pettigrew and a few lesser Death Eaters were imprisoned, she dearly wanted to hurt them, the way they had hurt these people. Yet she waited, waited for a word from Harry, because after this last and greatest deceit Dumbledore was not, in her mind, their leader, no he was no more a grand leader than Pettigrew was. A silent sob escaped her delicate mouth and she felt her body shake violently.
A warm sure hand landed on her shoulder and squeezed.
“Why are you crying?” Blaise asked is a low voice, his breath was hot against her ear and it made Hermione shiver.
“It all seems so hopeless.” She managed to reply looking steadfastly forward. “If Albus can betray us, how can we win?” Blaise’s hand tightened for a moment and then retreated.
“We can trust Harry, you must know that, he will not mislead us, he will not betray us. There is hope Hermione, and… I promise that I will be by your side until the end.” Hermione turned slowly and stared in to Blaise’s eyes, they were alight with an emotion she dared not name.
“You mean by our sides, fighting with the light of course.” She commented, not daring to hope that he could have meant to put such a romantic connotation behind his words.
Blaise brought his hands to her face and held her fast. “No Hermione, I meant what I said, I will be by your side until the end, if you fight so too will I, and if you flee… I shall flee as well. I… don’t you see what I am trying to say? Can’t you understand how I feel for you?” Blaise finished pleading with Hermione.
“I can’t say that I do know how you feel Blaise, why don’t you tell me.” Hermione replied tears in her eyes. A slightly strangled sound issued from the mans throat as he pulled Hermione to him and kissed her passionately.
It felt like hours but Hermione was sure it was moments; the feeling of his lips on hers told her everything she needed to know about how he felt. Blaise was tender and passionate, he kissed her as if she was precious, held her as if she would break. Suddenly his lips here gone and she was blinking in the morning light. Blaise stared at her for a long moment, and Hermione’s stomach sank slowly, had she been wrong?
“I love you!” He exclaimed, still keeping his voice low in the crowded room.
Hermione smile and ran one delicate hand down the side of Blaise’s face, she smiled brightly. “Oh Blaise, I love you as well.” She whispered and let her head fall on to his chest.

Albus sighed tiredly, he had made a grievous mistake in not telling Harry which demon they were dealing with. It had put th entire order in danger, he saw that now, and knew that there would be consequences. Liam had already had his say, the blond was sure this would fracture the Order, taking with it what hope they had left of saving riddles soul and the human race. But Albus did not agree, he had if anything united the Order, not in any way he had planned but because of the fierce and trustworthy guidance Harry had given in their time of need. Harry and his core of friends had orchestrated a maneuver the likes of which Albus himself could not have fathomed and had done it with minimal casualties. He just worried that he no longer had a place in this new Order.

Liam stalked the front parlor, death was something he had seen all too often in his millennia on earth, but the depravity that he had seen the previous night made it clear to him that they were dealing with Lucifer even before he had spoken with the immortal scourge. Many years ago as his mother lay dying she had confided a great secret to Liam, one he kept even from the other Nephilim, his father was Michael the hammer of the Lord. It was for the love of this father that his mother had raised him to be pious and hate demons, to hunt them when possible. Lucifer was the greatest of his father’s enemies, a blight on the Lord’s household. This was his chance to win favor with the Lord, as well as Michael whom he had never seen.
Liam was irate with Albus, the old man had acted rashly, and had created enemies where once there were friends, Liam feared that the order would distrust him as well and that did not bode well for the war effort. These mortals had no hope of stopping Lucifer without him.
“Oh holy Lord Father of my Father and of all creation, give me the strength of spirit to endure their scorn, Strength of will to persevere, and most of all strength of faith, to always turn to you in times of need.” He prayed aloud falling to his knees.

Narcissa stood just outside of the kitchen; the doors to the cellar were just beyond that door, and after that, the room that held her husband. Lucius had been handpicked by her mother to be her husband, he had been charming, witty and most importantly rich. Narcissa had never loved him, not in the way her parents had loved one another, she had to many morals to love a man who so enjoyed the suffering of others. But he had given her a son and for that Narcissa had at least liked him.
Now after everything he had done against them, after all of the sacred traditions of pureblood society that he had broken, she held nothing but distain for her husband. Narcissa had always clung to tradition as a means to protect herself and any children she might bare from the world around them, she would be treated rightly because of her status with her peers and because of her ability as well as willingness to bear and heir, by her husband. But Lucius had thrown aside the old ways when it suited him, he had scarred their child emotionally and physically, he had beaten her near to death and he had done it all on the word of a halfblood.
It was disgraceful for the head of the Malfoy family to act in such a way. Now he was within her reach, she longed to strangle the life from him with her own hands to bring the name of the Malfoy back in to polite society with the assent of her son as the head of the family.
“Narcissa, you only need to have him removed from the family for his crimes, the magic will suffice, murder is… less advisable.” Severus’s stern voice commented from behind her.
“But it is so much less satisfying that way Severus, I was humiliated, degraded, and Draco… it does not bare thinking about what Lucius did to him.” She replied icily steadfastly staring at the closed door, her had hovered mere inches from the handle.
“I will not stop you if this is the path you have chosen Cissy, but I would request you allow me to profess my undying adoration for you before you decide to throw your life away for this piece of trash.” Severus choked outstanding stock still a few feet from her.
Narcissa blinked and turned slowly to look at Severus, her face was flush with color, her heart began to beat a thousand miles a minute. “S-Severus?” she whispered.
“Narcissa, I know you are a married woman and this may be impertinent of me but you must know that I have come to love you, in the way a man loves a beautiful, talented, loving, strong, and virtues woman. Were you not tied to that monster in the cellar I would fall to my knees here and now to propose a proper courtship and marriage for I cannot imagine living my life without you.” Here he paused slightly and seemed to consider his next words. “I know I have not much to recommend me as a husband for I am an unattractive figure with substantially less wealth than the Malfoy family, but I love you with such an enduring passion that I felt I had to express it to you lest you felt there was nothing left to live for. Albeit my love is not so much to steak a life on.” He finished looking at her pleadingly.
Narcissa gawked at the proud man standing before her pouring his heart out… for her. This was unexpected although not wholly unwanted. She stroked a piece of blond hair behind her ear, a nervous habit acquired in childhood, and nibbled one lip. Here before her was everything she had ever wanted as a child, a kind wonderful man offering her his love, his respect and his hand. Narcissa was dumbstruck and although she could see the look of defeat making it’s way on to Severus’s face she could not speak for her joy was so great she was sure she would have wept with overwhelming emotion, and ladies just did not do that.
“I am sorry if I have offended my Lady,” Severus whispered turning to leave the room.
“I wish to know you better Severus; so that when the day comes and I am free of Lucius we may be wed.” Narcissa called in the steadiest voice she could muster.
Severus turned immediately, a broad grin on his face. “Truly Narcissa?” he breathed in relief.
Narcissa felt a large smile split her face and nodded demurely. “Truly Severus”

Draco smiled as the sun rose, Harry was asleep across the room on one of the vacated hospital cots, Draco lay a few cots down he had not been able to seep that night even after all of the ministry workers had been moved down stairs, or set up in the attic for observation. Arthur Weasley was fast asleep on the cot directly to the left of Harry and Draco could hear the faint sound of snoring echoing from him, Poppy was hopeful that he would make a full recovery. The blond medic had volunteered to stay up here with the critical care witches and wizards, and Harry refused to leave Arthur until Molly could come and sit with him.
Draco cast a quick tempus and groaned, that should be any time now, the thought remembering the last time Molly Weasley had been in the makeshift hospital. He just hoped she was quieter this time, these people really needed to sleep.
Harry was shifting in his sleep and Draco glanced back at him, the brunette was stunning even in sleep, his dark hair brushed his pale neck and forehead, it made him look innocent. Draco knew that the moment those green eyes opened that illusion would be shattered; Harry was becoming a war hardened man, Draco saw less and less of the boy he had known at Hogwarts in Harry every day. And yet this did not take away from Harry’s beauty, in Draco’s eyes every experience only made Harry more beautiful, more feral.
Noise from just beyond the attic door startled Draco in to a sitting position, Poppy popped her head in and told him Molly was coming to sit with Arthur and she would like Draco and Harry to go down stairs and eat. Draco nodded and turned to wake Harry, but those green eyes were already open, blaring with a barely concealed fire. Harry nodded at Draco and stood stretching, Draco joined him and together the two of them headed down to the kitchen.

Ron stood stock still on the second floor balcony; he could not have just heard what he thought he heard. Tears came to his blue eyes and he hurriedly pushed them away, his life felt like it was crumbling around him. Severus was in love with Mrs. Malfoy… Ron supposed it made sense; she was a beautiful, intelligent woman. Ron fell to his knees with a great release of breath; he leaned against the banister bars and sobbed quietly.
BR
Harry walked down the dimly lit stairs with Draco by his side, the blond seemed to be lost in thought, Harry smiled at the contemplative look on the others face. The night had been hard but it seemed that with the sunrise Harry’s spirits had risen.
Draco stopped abruptly causing Harry to lose sight of him momentarily, looking down the stairs Harry tried to see what had so upset the other man,
Ron sat weeping on the next landing; starting Harry took the steps two at a time until he could kneel next to his distraught friend.
“I don’t want to talk about it mate.” Ron whispered, letting Harry help him up.
“Alright...” Harry replied taking a step back. “Well then let’s go get some food.” Harry said slowly, turning and heading down the last staircase, with Draco and Ron following.

Far below the melodrama of number 12 Lucius paced on the small dark cellar, he was livid, he had lost his heir, wife, wand, and finally his freedom, and it was all taken by these mudbloods, and blood traitors. Didn’t they know who he was, what his status a pureblood entitled him to? This was unacceptable, trapped in this cesspool with the dregs of humanity. How could Narcissa put her husband and sister through this hell, he turned and kneeled next to the still unconscious Bellatrix.
“It’s okay Bella our lord will come and save us.” He whispered. “And then my treacherous wife will no longer be a problem.”
BR
Lucifer seethed inside of his mortal body, the feeble man that inhabited this form with him was trying to break free once again. Lucifer did have to admit that Tom had more spirit than most of these sniveling mortals. The demon felt another headache coming on, sometimes he wished he hadn’t picked a mortal that was quite this strong, but he already had a following, it had been convenient at the time, and now all of his work would be wasted if he picked another host. Stalking off in to the night the demon sighed and looked towards the nearby town, maybe exterminating some of these rodents would help ease his distress.
