His Goddaughter,His Darling

Modesty

Next saturday came quicker than expected.I transported myself to Hog's Head.Everybody was already there.I was slightly late."Ula?Y-You came?"I sighed."I was there Harry.I didn't witness a lot but I saw Cedric die.That's enough for me."He sighed in relief."We need a teacher.A proper teacher.One who has had real experience defending themselves before."I cut her off."Believe me.Harry's defense is kind of a luck."She dismissed me and continued.One of the boys spoke up."Why?""Why?!Because you-know-who is back you tosspot!"He talked back."So he says."Granger didn't sat back."So Dumbledore says.""So Dumbledore says because he says.The point is...where is the proof?"Then the guy next to Ginny spoke up."If Potter could tell us more about how Diggory got killed..."He stood up."I'm not going to talk about Cedric,so if that's why you're here,you might as well clear out now."He started whispering with Hermione.

"Is it true you can produce a patronus charm?"Luna asked."Yes.I've seen it."Said Granger as an answer."What is it?Your animal?Your patronus?"Harry turned to me."A deer."I smiled."That's cute.Mine was a fish I think.I was little I don't really remember."Dean looked at us both."Blimey guys.I didn't know you two could do that."I rolled my eyes."I don't know why Harry didn't tell you guys he could but no one asked so it's normal that you don't know Dean."Then Neville spoke up."And he killed the Basilisk."I scoffed and talked in parsel-tongue with Harry."You're going to form an army like the ministry is guessing won't you?"He looked at me wide eyed."You know Parsel-tongue?"I smirked."My mother taught me.She can't talk but she knows how to teach."Ron got between the conversation."You know parseltongue?"I turned to redhead Weasley."I do.What are you gonna do Weasley?"

He dismissed and continued."Third year he faught off about 100 dementors at once."Granger spoke up."And last year he really did fight off you-know-who in the flesh."Harry cut her off."Wait.Look it all sounds great when you say it like that,but the truth is,mostly that was just luck like Ula said.I didn't know what I was doing half the time,I nearly always had help."Hermione had enough."He's just being modest."I intervened."He's not.He's not being modest.If I was the one in his place then that would be modesty.He's just...speaking his truth."Harry continued."Facing this stuff in real life is not like school.In school if you make a mistake,you can just try again tomorrow;but out there...when you're seconds away from being murdered or watching a friend die right before your eyes...besides me and Ula...you don't know what that's like."He sat down.

"You're right Harry.We don't.That's why you need your help."She turned to me."Your help too if you want to."Then she turned to all of us."Because if we're going to have any chance of beating ...Voldemort..."She couldn't continue.Then they all started writing their names on the paper named under 'Dumbledore's army'.If Harry knew I was a Death Eater...or that both of my parents were one once upon a time...he never would've called me here.The whole line was over and it was down to a couple of us."I won't tell about this to Umbridge or the other students...but I can't join.I'm a prefect guys.So are you two,Ron and Hermione.I can't."I flicked my wand and came back to my room.I was welcomed by Draco."You went there?"I nodded."I had to.I had to know what was going."He sighed."Why?Why do you have to go there?"I sighed."They will make you a Death Eater because of your father.You know that.Right?"

He rolled his eyes."So what?It can't be that bad as people say.They don't even know what a Death Eater is Ula."I scoffed."It's not that easy!Both of my birth parents were a Death Eater.I know what it is like to be one!My mother told me everything!Can't you see it?!I've been kidnapped!I've been used!I've been tortured and abused!It's not that simple!I had to grow up fast to understand what was happening!If Narcissa was also like your father then you would've understood!You are so lucky to have a way out! I don't have that!Snape was pardoned!My mother was pardoned!There is no guarantee I will be!"

        "Do you don't want me to carry my family's legacy?!"I sighed."Being a Death Eater is not a legacy."I said in a soft and low voice."Listen to me.When you take that mark there is no turning back.You do understand that right?"He rolled his eyes."I don't want to fight you."Then he left.I can't believe him.I wrote to Voldemort about the DA and everything."Talk to him.He doesn't know.If he knew I'm sure he would've understood."I turned to Asmodeus."Not today.He needs to calm down.He needs to understand it himself."I gave my hand and he wrapped himself around me."I don't know what would I do without you."I raised my arm and kissed his tiny head."Now off you go.Arsenio is not back yet and I need an owl.""Use Draco's owl.Good conversation starter."I rolled my eyes."If you insist.One condition.You're coming with me."

     I knocked on Draco's door and Goyle answered as his roommate."Lopez.""Where is Malfoy?"He narrowed his eyes."I thought you two were on patrol."I shook my head."He must've went out on his own accord.Thanks."I was going to leave but he grabbed my arm."Do you hear a snake hissing?"I looked around and acted clueless."I don't. I'm going to let you be."I left and went up to the Astronomy tower.He was there as I suspected.Asmodeus got out behind my neck and went to my hand."Can we talk?"He turned around."I told you I didn't want to fight you.""That's not why I'm here Draco.I have to send something to my mother but my owl is not back from the last letter.And Asmodeus thought I should ask for your owl.You don't have to."He sighed."It's in my bedroom.Just tell Goyle and he'll let you in."He turned back to outside and I just stood there."Draco I meant no harm.You know that.I'm just looking out for you."He turned to me and raised his hand for me to come to him.I stepped forward and got his hand.He placed my hand around his back and got his arm around me."I know.It's something for him to decide for me.There isn't much I can do if he wishes me to be one of his soldiers."What really stung was that he...was right.
