His Goddaughter,His Darling

You Can't

                I went downstairs to see him sitting at the table in the dining hall.He saw me and he was furious."Finally."I sat down."Why are we going to Dumbledore's tomb?I'm not trying to offend you I'm just curious."He sighed."If you must know-""Yes I must know."I chuckled to softened the mood and it worked.He didn't look furious."Remember the story that your mother read to you before you went to bed?"I sighed."The three brothers one?"He nodded."How much of it do you remember?"I thought about it and I barely remember it."Only thing I remember is that there is three brothers and then there is an idiot dude.At least that's what I used to call him.""Then listen to me carefully."And he got ready to tell me the story.

                 "Three brothers, travelling along a lonely, winding road at twilight reached a deep treacherous river where anyone who attempted to swim or wade would drown. Learned in the magical arts, the brothers with their and proceed to cross.Halfway through the bridge, a hooded figure stood before them. The figure was the enraged spirit of , cheated of his due. Death cunningly pretended to congratulate them and proceeds to award them with gifts of their own choosing.The eldest brother, a combative man, asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence. Death granted his wish by fashioning the from a branch of a nearby elder tree standing on the banks of the river. The second brother, an arrogant man, chose to further humiliate death, and asked for the power to recall the deceased from the grave. Death granted his wish by crafting the from a stone picked from the riverbank. The third and youngest brother, who was the most humble and wise, did not trust Death and asked for something to enable him to go forth without Death being able to follow. A reluctant Death, most unwillingly, handed over a part his own.The three brothers took their prizes and soon went on their separate ways.The eldest brother travelled to a village where a whom he had quarrelled lived. He sought out a and fought the wizard using the wand, instantly killing the latter.Leaving his enemy dead upon the floor, the eldest brother walked to an inn not far from the duelling site and spent the night there. Taken by his conscience and lust of the Elder Wand's power, the eldest brother boasted of this wand gifted by Death and his own invincibility.That very night, a killed the eldest brother. The unknown murderous wizard crept to the inn as the eldest brother slept, drunk from . The wizard slit the oldest brother's throat for good measure and stole the wand. That was when Death took the first brother.The second brother returned to his home where he lived alone. Turning the stone thrice in his hand the figure of the he had once hoped to marry, before her untimely death, appeared at once before him, much to his delight. Yet she was sad and cold, separated from him as by a veil. Though she had returned to the mortal world, she did not truly belong there and suffered. Finally, the second brother, driven mad with hopeless longing, committed suicide by hanging from his house' balcony so as truly to join her. That was when Death took the second brother for his own.Death searched for the youngest brother as years passed but never succeeded. It was only when the third brother reached a great age, he took off the Cloak of Invisibility and gave it to his son. Greeting Death as an old friend, they departed this life as equals."

         The invisibility cloak.If he learns that we had it and let it go he'll kill us both.Harry better be hiding that thing."This still doesn't quite make sense nor does it explain why we're going to a deadman's tomb."He sighed."The Elder Wand was in Dumbledore's posession.I need it.""Ok.Then we got the Elder Wand part.What about the ressurection stone?What happened to it?"He got furious and stood up."Is it that bad?""That stone is the stone on my family ring.And my family ring was one of my horcruxes."I scoffed."Was one of my horcruxes?""Stupid Dumbledore destroyed it.I thought you would've felt it."I shook my head."No.I mean I felt the diary and the locket but I didn't feel the ring."He sighed.Then I heard a scream."Draco."I stood up and I was running away."Where do you think you're going?!""We talked!"

          I ran upstairs.Draco was panting on the bed.I rushed over."It's over.It's just a nightmare.A dumb nightmare."He hugged my waist and buried his face into my chest."It felt so real!"I kissed his head."I know.Nightmares could do that.But it's not real.They're not real.I'm here.You're in your room.Everything is ok."He was sweating cold.I broke the hug and made him look at me."You got me.I got you."I kissed his forehead and hugged him again.I saw him watching us."Leave him.He's your weakness.You are more loyal to him than you are loyal to me Ula.That is unforgivable."I sighed."I can't.I can't leave him.Even if he leaves me.So take him from me but I'll still love him.Take me from him?I'll still love him.Breaking us up won't change anything,father.So just leave us be.It doesn't cause you any harm."

          "I don't like that a servent of mine's boy got your heart.Believe me when I tell you that if he is still alive...he's alive because of you.If it wasn't for you I would've killed him the second he failed to kill Dumbledore."I sighed."Thank you.For not killing him.Because believe it or not...he's my strength more than he is my weakness.If it wasn't for him...I don't think I would be alive either."He gasped and vanished.Our connection was broken and I gave my full attention to Draco."Do you want to talk about your nightmare?"He shook his head."Do you want me to know about your nightmare?"He nodded."Ok."He shook his head."No it's not ok."He got my hands.

            "Ula you were there.And...he was telling you how he used you for your power.And that now he had no use for you-He killed you!"I sighed."But I'm here.And I'm alive.""How can I know he's not going to come in and kill you now?"He got his hand on my cheek and through my hair.I closed my eyes to feel the warmth of his hand more."You can't."I opened my eyes."I,however,don't think he'll touch us anymore.We uhm...we talked a little.""He listens to you?"I scoffed."He has to.I'm his weapon.His most trusted person.Literally the only person he likes no matter what.I'm his goddaughter.He vowed to protect me when I was born.However he did not vow to not hurt me himself.Hence the torture curses and killing the people I love."

              "You know I'd rather die then live without you."I nodded."I know.You know I feel the same way about you.Right?"He nodded and kissed my forehead."I know."I got scared and I had to have him because it felt like it was going to be the last time I'll ever see him.In the morning I got out of bed and got ready to leave.As I was about to leave I went to Narcissa's and Lucius' bedroom.I knocked on the door and they let me in."I'm leaving."They both turned to me in shock and worry.Even Lucius.
