Chapter Nine

Pieces Of a Dream”

Sitting in the Headmaster’s office I continued telling Dumbledore what my father had told me, all the while I was thinking of all the ways I was going to torture Longbottom, and paid him back for all the pain he caused. How could this have happened?

“Mr. Malfoy are you even listening to me?”

“How could we, how did we let this happen, have we learned nothing! I mean Harry always told me that had someone; anyone paid attention to Riddle back when he was a student here, or if even you yourself had seen what he was becoming the whole dark lord, He who must not be named thing would have never had the opportunity and yet here we are in the middle of another war and the hero of this saga who we labeled traitor, was the one who was betrayed.”

“Mr. Malfoy!”

“No! What does that say of your vaunted all knowing, all seeing powers?”

“The prophecy…”

“Oh please, when I was a student it was believed that Longbottom was the “Chosen One” that he was the “Savior” of the Wizarding World and now he’s the one who tore it apart!”

“Professor Malfoy! I will remind you whom you are speaking to and I will also remind you of your part in this drama.”

“My part?”

“Indeed, Harry was in Gryffindor as was Neville, both of them had much in common and a relationship between them would have been ideal, obviously Neville held stronger feelings for Harry, unfortunately you were the one Harry had romantic leanings for and as you earlier stated of Voldomort had I stepped in or even attempted to do something we wouldn’t be here now and perhaps all of this could have been avoided. I would say it was to your better fortune that I did not interfere and you Draco benefited from the time with Harry and was able to know a part of him that no one else could ever know. Now to the information you provided, what evidence do you have to prove what you have said is true?”

“Father will have whatever is needed soon, as for our work as spies?”

“Of course, your family and you are more then welcome to take residence at Hogwarts, I mean Severus has already been here for quite some time, Hogwarts welcomes all in need.”

“What of you Headmaster, do you welcome all those in need?”

“If I didn’t the Malfoy line would have ended a long time ago. Good day professor.”

Walking back towards the dungeons I remembered suddenly that I had a class of students that would be waiting for me. Casting a Tempus spell I saw that I was already twenty minutes behind, something no Malfoy participated in, of course we did enjoy making an entrance but since I had taken the post as the DADA professor I was always in the classroom before any students arrived. Picking up speed I tried not to look like I was running through the halls as if I was once again a first year having gotten lost going to class. Reaching my class room I stopped in front of the door and smoothed my robes and hair as I caught my breath. Entering I quickly walked to the front of the room.

“I apologize for my tardiness, I appreciate that you all remained while I was detained.”

Pushing everything else to the back of my mind I focused on the students and the material they would need to know, considering that this was maybe one of the most vital course for them to have. I mean Defense Against the Dark Arts was not just a course, it was survival during this war and I was heartily tired of hearing of the increasing death toll caused by a self hating mad man. Class continued and I completed the rest of my day and my classes on auto pilot. Leaving the dungeons I headed to dinner in the Great Hall wondering if maybe I should just go back to my suite and remain there till tomorrow, but again that was something Malfoy’s did not do avoid the truth even if we didn’t like it.

Entering the hall I walked to the head table and took my place, as soon as I was settled a plate appeared before me and I stared at the food. Reaching for the cup of hot tea, I sipped at it trying to force my body to feel hunger to at least want to sample what was there. It seemed that the only part of me that was active was my mind remembering today and everything I had learned. Hearing noise and laughter I looked around and realized the students had arrived, looking at the tables I didn’t see the rambunctious students, the scene in front of my eyes was of earlier times of yesterday’s gone and the laughter that was shared. I could see it all so clearly, when he was here with me and all that I had left was pieces of dreams we created. I could remember our very first date, kiss the first time he said I love you and I told him the same. I remembered the laughter shared, the times we fought over our conflicting views only to make up passionately. The discussion of the future and what we wanted from each other, our hopes and dreams.

“Draco? Draco! Professor Malfoy?”

Blinking away the memories I blinked back the sting in my eyes as well. Turning to face who had spoken my name I looked into my godfather’s eyes.

“We will talk after dinner yes, alone in your chambers?”

Nodding I looked back at the still full plate, waiting for dinner to come to an end. Wishing it was already over.

“Maybe both of you should excuse yourselves early and go have your conversation.”

“Yes, thank you Headmaster, come Draco.”

Following my godfather, I kept my head low not wanting to see or hear the noise of now or then. Knowing that all I had to look forward to was more restless nights and more broken dreams of what our lives were whispers of the life we created. I could see it clearly when he was with me, the photographs I kept hidden after he was taken from me. The damage I had done to our suite the night he was arrested. The times I had taken Dreamless Sleep only to wake up reaching and he was never there, or the months after he was gone always seeing him just around the corner, or thinking I heard him calling for me. Everyone around me had thought I was loosing my mind and frankly I agreed with them. I mean for two years I feared our rooms, I feared the memories, finally Severus had taken a hand in saving my sanity and had me moved from the rooms and I repeated the last year of my schooling having failed everything. Severus had actually gone as far as staying with me, making sure that I did nothing foolish, he toke me on insanely long walks all over the castle and the grounds, often just remaining silent, or letting me rant, rave or even cry if that was what I was inclined to do. My godfather had saved my life then and he was doing it again.

“Your father told me what has happened, he told me of Longbottom’s betrayal and to think it was all over being rejected by Potter. I always knew Potter was trouble, that he would cause this world’s down fall.”

Reacting to his words, I had him against the door with my wand at his throat before I even realized what I was doing.

“Unless you intend to use that stick against me, I suggest you let me go and put it away, I believe I taught you better. Never pull your wand unless you intend to use it!”

Watching him straightening his robes, I shook my head and turned away from him.

“I can’t believe you still hold such animosity towards Harry, after all this time. Hell he hasn’t even been here to defend himself.”

“The past is just that the past and I gave up any grudge against Potter over his father and what those fools did to me so long ago.”

“Then why did you say such a hateful thing?”

“I may have forgiven the past, what I can’t forgive is all the pain Potter has caused you, I can never forgive seeing you fall apart due to Potter’s stupidity. I was against your relationship with that foolish Gryffindor from the beginning but he made you happy and who was I to gain say your happiness. Look where it has led and for that I can never forgive.”

“He’s innocent!”

“Really, then why did he not take the serum those many years ago, what did he have to hide? He may be innocent of betrayal and it is possible he never murdered anyone but why did he refuse when approached, why be arrested, imprisoned for these seven years, what was so important that he nearly destroyed you to protect. I watched you destruct slowly and painfully for two years before you regained your senses.”

“And what has Harry suffered, he has been in Azkaban.”

“He is not my godson; he is not the one I see as a son, for that is what you are to me. You may not biologically be mine but you are my son in spirit and I will hate him for eternity for what he did to you.”

“What of us, we were so quick to believe in his guilt did any of us even bothered to look it why he refused, why this happened even now we stand here and berate him. No one myself included stood for him, no we quickly condemned him for what? What led us to this place, when did we become so jaded that we sacrifice our soldiers. Are we no better then those sycophants who parrot “It’s all for the greater good, that the needs of the many out weight the needs of the few” When did innocence become something to be proved!”

“We did only what we could at the time, the choices made were necessary; we are all that stands for the light, the good.”

“And who stood for Harry? No we say we made the right choice for the greater good but in my eyes we were no better then that snake bastard!”

“Draco!”

“No Severus! We were wrong; we failed when we let it happen. We were supposed to stand up for Harry, we were supposed to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves, and we’re the guilty ones here.”

“Draco?”

“Enough, I’m tired all I want to do is take some dreamless sleep and forget everything. Please go Severus.”

Absolutely not! You can take the potion but I will remain here tonight.”

“I’m not suicidal; no Malfoy would be so base.”

“Really? I seem to remember a time when you spoke of taking your own life as something to be desired.”

“I may have self destructed before and I apologize for making you care for me, but take heart I have no intention of hiding or running away from the truth and reality. I will face whatever happens. I owe Harry that much.”

“And what do you owe yourself Draco?”

“We can return to analyzing and soul searching tomorrow right now I just want to sleep and not wake up reaching for him.”

“Very well, I will get the potion you get ready for bed.”

“Thank you, for everything even calling me your son.”

Alright I am going to close it there can anyone guess were Draco’s line about “We were supposed to stand up for Harry…… etc came from, even though I paraphrased again does anyone know where it comes from? Cookies to whoever guessed right I give you a hint Demi Moore played in this movie. Also again please note I only own my story the lines and lyrics I borrowed are not mine they are the property of their creators and I am grateful that we can use them.
