A window on the past
"Where am I? "Ron muttered, looking around.
"kind of idiot, do not you dare make me another joke like that, you understand me? "
Harry's voice pierced the eardrums with violence, coming to reverberate between the walls of his head. "But what? "
" Ron, you have fallen by at least a hundred feet! "Said Ginny.
"perilously close to the stands, I might add. 'Said the voice of Minerva McGonagall.
"Pro ... Professor. "
" What the hell happened to you, Ron? "The red
pulled up from the pillow. He had never seen Harry so upset. He seemed almost afraid of him. "I'm afraid you'll need you to tell me, Harry, because I do not remember anything. "
" It is not possible " said Hermione, as if he might be willing to make fun of her at such a time!
"Ron, you were watching Hedwig, when suddenly you have launched a heartrending cry, and you have fallen out of scope. And I ... "Harry stifled a sob," ... I was not able to stop. "
Now you're beginning to understand what Harry was feeling. Now I began to remember. They were not pleasant memories.
Harry's lips quivered as if about to cry. Ron had seen it only once: in the same infirmary after the Triwizard Tournament ... after the death of Cedric.
At the end of the fifth year after the death of Sirius, Harry had spent much time alone on the shores of the lake. Ron imagined, hoped that in those times Harry had managed to cry. Now I hope above all that we no longer see anyone crying for him.
"If you were dead again, I ..." Ron
had a faint smile. Dead again. Already, in a sense, for his friends Ron was dead, just before their capture. Immobilized by Lucius Malfoy and other Death Eaters who had caught Harry and Ginny had seen the light beam to reach Ron Green in the chest. Without the slightest possibility that he missed. Not to mention Hermione, who was bound by thick ropes and pulled him by the head of the expedition, assistesse helpless because the death of his best friend.
"I'm fine, guys. "
Harry's face was beaded with sweat, green eyes narrow slit. Hedwige holding his arm, and ferocious-looking Madam Pomfrey, Ron realized that the average-sorceress was not exactly happy about this.
Now yes, I remember, remember the anxiety with which Hedwige had joined him in flight, remembered with ever greater clarity the message I sent him mentally. The white snowy owl jumped on the blankets over the knees of Ron. "We still have time? "Asked Ron.
Hedwige had sad eyes, but made a motion that Ron played for yes.
"Weasley, there are things you need to explain to us all," said Dean.
"Not now, Professor. We must now warn my father. "
" Arthur? What happened? "
" Put it this way, we hope not yet happened. "
teacher and former pupil looked at each other, then the witch came infirmary at a fast pace.
"Now you tell us what's happening? "Ginny insisted. "Dad is in danger ...? "
" You communicate with Hedwig "Harry interrupted, turning to Ron," from what? "
" I guess I could do since I was a phoenix, but I never wanted to ... And 'Hedwige was talking to me, Harry. Today, for the first time. "
" Your father is in danger? "
" It's not my father, Harry. "
" Malfoy, no! "
Bill entered the cell just in time to see the trail of particles, the powder blue, evaporate in the last rays of sunset. "Help me ... to bring it up! "Cried the jailer. "A medium-magician, soon! "
The man went out in a hurry from the cell, while Bill was beginning to give mouth to mouth on the face of the prisoner cyanotic. The last of the Malfoys. Desperate, he saw that evil was not physical, it was not at all a virus Muggle ... as degenerative and debilitating symptoms could mislead anyone.
was breathing atmosphere that now, to convince him of the presence of something else. It was the fresh memory of that powder blue evening now become part of the air out of the cell window.
"Draco ... Draco. "
" Mr. Weasley, is changing. "He had reached the mid-
magician. "This is not a physical illness," the words of Bill chased hasty, "the diagnosis was sba ... what do you want to do with that stick? "
" I want to ask an end to your annoying intrusion "said the voice, irritated. She was a woman, the one that was de-transforming in front of him.
"This guy is going to died ..."
"It happens to anyone you care to disobey my orders. Usually those who violate my command immediately starts to regret it bitterly. There are few naughty puppies who survive ... after the young Weasley, that escaped me, there were no others. "
" Ginny? ... You are ... "had to control himself, not afraid to show it actually felt to be. He did not want to feel that being to have actually most of the benefit. "What Have You Done jailer? "He snarled.
was not even a woman ... to be precise, when Bill thought he saw her smile baring white teeth. The amber-colored skin, her eyes were dark, two deep wells of darkness, loaded according to the ancient tradition of the Egyptian pharaohs.
was a demon.
"Get out of here, boy. You are not among those who prefer to collect. Your power lies in knowledge more than anything else, even if it is a lot. I prefer the power instinctively, as one that got me out of the Veil. "
" It was you who cast the spell on my sister and Hermione Granger. "The demon
pulled back the hood of the coat black Eaters. "In this ugly thing, only to blame the guy we have here. E 'was he to be discovered by his father while trying to help them. Curious, you know? He really wants to help, but will not have much time to do it. "
" Leave it to life. Let it be cured. "
" What would I do? No, my plans are drawn up perfectly for decades, even centuries. If you want to have a part in them, will agree that you submit to me, as he consciously decided not to do. "The hand of the woman pointed to the sunburned face of Draco, now dead.
Think, he told himself frantically Bill. What would Dumbledore? How to contact as soon as someone who could help him and Malfoy?
"I do not ever subdue a demon" he replied, trying to gain time.
"Too bad ... the lessons you have suffered under my offspring do not have much use. Again, I want to let you in life, do not worry. But do not try to interfere again with my plans, that relate to this guy and the other young wizards, or will be worse for you. "The attention of the demon
moved for a moment on the cobalt blue sky that stretched out of prison. Then he went back to Bill. "Do not oppose me, or there will be no knowledge of my past world that can help you. "
But Bill had gathered to itself all the concentration possible, and in that split second looked at the body of Draco. He managed to transfigure it only because the boy did not resist, being now entirely absent from the reality around them.
Referring to the last bit of energy, also tried another spell. There could dematerialize outside the prison ministry, but in other rooms of the same building. And a couple of floors above the maximum monitoring arm were located the offices of the best Aurors in circulation.
was a huge risk, that he was running. If he could throw off that demon - and this was a miracle - it would have meant formally become an accomplice to escape. Feeling drained of power and its vital force, crouched over the body of Malfoy and mentally formulated the spell.
The Auror who had to reluctantly accept the young and the lifeless body that his arms around her, she had the presence of mind to magically seal his office, shortly after acknowledging both.
Then, Mad-Eye Moody gave up the idea of enjoying his beer-butter before coming to Hogwarts, the s and sent immediately. Os to the castle and the study of the minister in person.
His son Bill was back in a whirlwind of trouble.
The team specializes in Aurora had gone straight into the action with a skill and a commendable sense of timing, had to admit the demon. Too bad they did not reckon with the possible complexity of his plan.
had waited for centuries, and really would not have started now to risk failure for a bit 'of impulsivity. He had to do was too important.
be calm, the demon had gone out from the buildings of the Ministry before they could be blocked all the escape routes. Now he knew where to find the body which housed his favorite food. The excitement accelerates its steps. It seemed already to feel the open window on the past, and the energy reach to support it in its task. The
really poor, but happy, she had left behind.
The promise of a better future.
The discovery of betrayal.
Slavery: an endless hell.
The escape and subsequent capture. The sweet
cruelty of the new master. The
ransom.
Prophecy.
mission.
The prophecy was fulfilled at last, now that the magicians expected for so long we were facing the world.
This latest food was particularly challenging because it was more like an exchange. That was decisive for the success of the plan.
The demon knew that he would soon meet him his fair-haired puppy. He knew and in a sense would since that time with even more trepidation.
'See you again soon' he whispered, and came in front of the Leaky Cauldron. It would
enjoyed the terror of those eyes, his attempt to escape, his resignation. Then, the dish would have gone to feed more importantly, his friends. And the son of the traitor he could not do nothing but watch.
We'll see ...
Draco grabbed my arm with a rattle of the mid-magician who was raised from the floor, like a shipwrecked sailor just come ashore, it sinks into the fingers claw, with the last shreds of their forces. Drenched in sweat, his gray eyes opened wide, full of tears.
We will meet again soon, my puppy ...
Help me! "- Tried to scream but could not utter a word. Could hardly take a breath to the next.
The man who had raised dragged him next to another human body, panting. Then he watched both his patients. "Here are the red ferret and worship."
Draco slowly returned to life by putting fire to a visual spectacle is not just pleasing to the eye magic Alastor Moody.
Less than five minutes later, he was in front of Arthur Weasley, his wife, Minerva McGonagall and the entire team ESA. Hogwarts Half Ministry and half in an office no bigger than a cube five feet by five.
At worst there seemed to be no end.
Mrs. Weasley's hand is stretched out on his forehead. Draco was paralyzed for that gesture. Amazing things happen that he could not easy to accept, so all at once.
"It 's filled, Minister" was saying in a voice that came from the corridor outside the studio. Your child has helped an inmate escape. "Escape ...
" I will not override justice, Mr. Judge. If my child has to stand trial, it will. There has never avoided its responsibilities. The fact remains that quell'evasione saved two lives. "The Judge
McHayden is purple. "By whom? From what? There is no evidence that what he says his son William to be true. "
" Fanny warned me, Mr. Judge. "
Draco shut his eyes in disbelief. Ronald Weasley was staring at him, but without any trace of hatred. It was not limited to this. "The phoenix of Professor Dumbledore, just her. His song ... "
" She raves, Mr Weasley. And it is natural that wants to defend his brother. "
" Judge Ronald Weasley says if you have been advised by Professor Dumbledore's phoenix ran the risk that these two guys in that cell, then we must believe him. The evidence will prove this. "
" Professor McGonagall, I hope that you will not be obstinate to follow the example of dell'irruenza Dumbledore. "
" Dumbledore, with its vehemence, has reported for years, the risk posed by the magician who has destroyed almost a year ago. He fought that mage sacrificing himself for her. "He breathed deeply, as if to say everything to start over, the blindness of fools did not really end.
Draco met with sadness and determined the expression strangely supportive of Ronald Weasley, then the more skeptical of Harry Potter. Scarface had not said anything. Beside him, Hermione Granger stroked the feathers of white Snowy Owl baby survived. He was pale, but when he met the eyes of Draco smiled slightly, despite the agonizing tension of the moment.
"Well, if you want to arrest me go ahead 'said Bill Weasley. "But first make sure that investigations can begin as soon as possible. That demon must be stopped. "
" The Judiciary of the wizarding world knows how to do his duty, Mr Weasley, even without its stresses. "The last thing
Draco was thinking, that was beginning to understand less and less of what was happening around him. Then, he sank again into the void of the disease in the prison of oblivion wanted by her mistress.
