Second chance; Second life

Later that day, Draco was leaving the entrance hall. Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle were with him, and Blaise was yammering about something. Draco rolled his eyes, yawning widely, when there was a loud bang. The front doors flew open, revealing a wizard.

‘Voldemort,’ Draco thought instantly. The man had on a long black cloak with a hood, hiding his face. When he lifted that, however, fear like no other gripped Draco’s heart. Lucius Malfoy’s grey eyes, harsh and cold swept over the students in the entrance hall. He drew his wand, and everyone began to back away. Kay saw him, and her heart hardened. His eyes swept over her, before finding the platinum head of his son.

‘Draco, come here.’ His voice was clipped, and as cold as ice. Draco swallowed hard, but found the courage to step forwards.

‘Yes?’ his own voice was hard too. Kay began to push her forwards.

‘You’re coming with me.’

‘I don’t think so.’ Draco drew his own wand, and Lucius laughed. ‘Do you honestly think that I’d go anywhere in your company?’ Lucius raised his eyebrows.

‘You will, Draco. You know I will make you.’ Snape hurried forwards.

‘Draco, return to your dormitory at once.’

‘Well, well. Severus,’ Lucius practically purred. ‘Step aside. Draco must return home at once.’

‘The Manor is not my home,’ replied Draco. Lucius looked at him.

‘Then where is?’ Kay reached him, and threaded her fingers into his.

‘With me.’ Lucius turned his gaze onto hers, and was slightly shocked by the absolute hatred shining there.

‘Do I know you?’ Kay laughed, her grip on Draco’s hands tightening.

‘No, but you knew my Mother. Quite well, actually. Well, if you call ‘quite well’ killing her.’

‘I’ve killed a lot of people’s mothers.’

‘You’d remember mine.’ He raised his eyebrows. ‘She died the day you destroyed Draco.’ He opened his mouth, and then froze.

‘You’re Diane Faurd’s daughter. Mikayla Jordon, isn’t it?’

‘Don’t you dare say her name,’ warned Draco.

‘Step aside Severus. Both of these are coming with me.’ Snape looked into Lucius’ eyes. Here it was. The choice he knew he’d have to make. He drew his wand, knowing he would never touch Lucius again.

‘No.’ Lucius was shocked. He took a step back, blinking like a rabbit caught in some headlamps.

‘No?’

‘No.’ Lucius’ expression became deadly.

‘Then I shall say goodbye. Avada Kedavra!’ screams echoed as the green light streamed towards Severus, when it met a flash of white, and disappeared. ‘What the…?’ Lucius began to ask, seeing Kay’s hand outstretched. ‘Wandless magic that can devour that spell?’ she smiled slightly.

‘What can I say? I just love practising.’ He hissed angrily, and sent another spell streaming at Snape. She pushed him out of the way, and it hit the floor. ‘Run!’ she shouted to people, pushing them out of the way. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Neville pulled out their wands and stepped forwards as the others moved behind statues and up the stairs. Snape sent a Stunning spell at Lucius, but he reflected it. Ginny sent a Stunning spell at him too, but he deflected it. She fell to the floor as it hit her.

‘Ginny!’ Ron screamed, and moved towards her, when Lucius struck once more.

‘Petrificus Totalus.’ Ron fell to the floor.

‘Finite Incantatum,’ screamed Hermione. ‘Envirate.’

‘You didn’t think I came alone, did you?’ Lucius said to Draco. Three men moved in. Macnair, Nott and Rodolphus Lestrange entered; their wands out.

‘Stupefy,’ Macnair called, and Ginny dodged, having just woken up from Hermione’s counter curse. Ron moved forwards, duelling with Rodolphus as Harry battled off Nott. Hermione aimed a Stunning spell at Macnair, who dodged, and sealed the Great Hall, as Dumbledore and McGonagall hurried towards them. Lucius approached Draco, when Kay sent a spell at him. Draco and Kay duelled with him eagerly, but his spells were fast, and he dodged and blocked with the speed of a young man.

‘Harry!’ Hermione screamed, who ducked the killing spell. Ginny was struck from behind, and fell forwards, without a sound.

‘Ginny!’ Ron screamed. Kay turned, leaving Draco to battle his Father as she stunned Nott. Harry ran forwards to Draco’s aid, and Lucius laughed.

‘Look Draco, Potter is helping you. Have you sunk so low that you have to fraternise with Mudbloods?’ Draco felt fury rise in him.

‘It’s better than having anything to do with a murderer.’

‘Rapist too, apparently,’ Lucius reminded him. ‘I can’t believe you Draco. Has the girl cast a love spell on you?’ Draco froze, and Harry pushed him out of the way of a Stunning spell.

‘Harry! Ron screamed, dodging a curse from Macnair, pointing at Snape, who was falling form the top of the stairs. Harry moved and caught Snape, who had a gash the length of his arm. He laid him down gently.

‘Professor?’ Rodolphus jumped, and landed before Harry.

‘Come on then Potter. Let’s you and me have a go.’ Harry dodged.

‘Hermione, check on Snape,’ he called, and she obediently moved forwards, when a spell was obliterated before her. She froze, seeing Kay and Nott moving at incredible speeds, both full of concentration. She dodged the pair, and moved to Snape.

‘Face it Draco, you’re at her beck and call.’ Lucius grabbed Draco’s arm, swinging him around, and pressing it into his back. Draco was now watching Kay and Nott battle furiously. Ginny and Neville were on the floor, barely breathing. Hermione was bent over a dying Snape, and Ron was clutching his legs in agony, dragging himself towards his sister as Harry tried to fight of Rodolphus. Macnair lay on the floor, unmoving except for his shallow breaths. Draco swallowed heavily. ‘But she’s going to die,’ Lucius hissed. ‘I will personally bathe in her blood.’ Harry shouted in surprise as Rodolphus sent a spell under his defences. He flew back against the wall, struggling for breathe. Hermione stood, and managed to stun Rodolphus, before running to Harry’s side. Kay continued her fight with Nott. ‘How will you feel, Draco, when I slit her throat?’ Lucius whispered quietly, his wand pointing at Kay.

‘No,’ murmured Draco.

‘Will you cry? Will you scream? Will you declare revenge? Or will you just crumble?’ Draco struggled hard, but Lucius twisted his arm once more. There was a crack as it broke, and Draco bit his lip to prevent his scream of pain, knowing it would distract Kay. ‘Well? I guess we should find out. Crucio.’

‘Kay!’ Draco called at the exact same moment, she turned, and screamed in pain as the spell hit her. Lucius laughed happily as she writhed on the floor, leaving Nott free to rush at Hermione and Harry. But Draco only saw Kay’s eyes rolling in pain. He found strength to throw his Father of, and step in the path of the spell. He screamed for a moment as the agony reached him, before Lucius lifted his wand. The doors flew open and Dumbledore sent a Stunning spell at Nott. Lucius reached out, and grabbed a hand. Lifting the body it belonged to, and disappearing into the night. Draco curled up, his head ringing in pain. Darkness closed in around him. Before he felt horror grip him. His Father had Kay!
