The Cursed One

Fear

I was happy.
I was happy in the morning, at night, evening...... every moment I spent as Harry's girlfriend. I always used to imagine how it would be when I will finally be his girlfriend but this was something else.... It was pure happiness...

Of course the school had completely made whole gossip newspaper about this but still we didn't care.... we both were happy that was good enough. Ron and Hermione were very supportive and I was very happy to have them by my side. Harry is really sweet and it was like a dream.... a dream I was scared would end soon so I held onto it without letting it go. 

We are all packing to go home and that's been on my mind all this time. I was not ready to go home. I was happy here. I wasn't ready to go to Malfoy Manor because I knew something was waiting for me there. Whenever Harry asked what was wrong, I put on a smile and said everything was fine but it was not. I was scared. I was scared my happiness is going to end too soon.
The train ride was full of bickering as Ron and Hermione flirted in their own strange way and me and Harry just enjoyed the moment as we sat with each other.
It was calm before the storm.
------------------------------
I reached the Manor and just then I knew, my fears were true. He was there. The Manor was envoloped in a darkness I can't describe. I could almost smell death. And the worst part was that I wasn't feeling scared anymore. It actually felt like home.

I entered the mansion and just then a voice boomed
"Ah............ my dear Thana..."

I knew that voice. I knew it too well. It was the voice that took over whenever I lost control.

I took a long breath and turned around. He was in the meeting room sitting in the chair of the head of the family, as the other death eaters sat on both of his sides. To my surprise I saw Snape. He was looking at me too. I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I was feeling nauseous. I was disgusted at the fact that Snape stood with him. Snape was a traitor all along.

I hear footsteps behind and it was Draco. He went pale at the sight of them. I turned my head back to the table to see the Dark Lord looking at Draco now.
"And Draco Malfoy..... Ah, this is pleasant." He said smiling "why don't you two join me here?"
I felt sick. I couldn't help the disgust that came rushing through me.
"I would rather jump of a cliff." I said mustering up all the courage I had left in my body. My life was dear to me and that's why I was afraid but I was Thana... Which meant death..... So even if I was afraid, I wouldn't show it even if I had to die.
Before he could say anything suddenly I heard
"You filthy bitch!"

It was my own mother. She stood up and walked towards me and stood at a distance as if challenging me.

I looked over at her as my heart started beating faster and faster and my blood started boiling. Adrenaline had completely fuelled my body and my anger clouded my vision. My eyes tinted red. I drew my wand out and said
"Not as filthy as you anyways, you murderous bitch!". I heard people gasp and whisper.

Before I knew, a red spell was flying at me. I pointed my wand and yelled "PROTEGO!" as fast as I could covering my face from harm with my wand hand before the spell hit me. I was knocked off my feet and I fell backwards from the force of my spell.

Our spells hit each other with blinding light. Mine completely melted my mother's red spell and proceeded like a sheild as it hit her, it completely knocked her off her feet sending her flying and she hit against the wall. As my spell ended, the whole meeting room shook and the chandelier started swinging dangerously. I was on the floor too. I heard many gasps. One of them were mine. I felt my eyes widen and the adrenaline drain. I quickly stood up as I finally came to my senses. I felt my heart almost explode when I understood what I had just done.

I looked at the table and saw that the Dark Lord was smiling. He stands up and walks towards me. Fearing another attack, I clutched my wand tighter as I felt it warmth against my palm.
"Oh no no dear.... I mean no harm to you...." As he walked towards me. I was trembling inside. If he takes his wand, I was dead for sure. He stood beside me and suddenly kept his hand on my shoulder as I stayed rooted. I had ascended. He lightly pushed me towards the table. I walked towards table on my own because I knew if I didn't, I was going to be a dead body. I was already in a bad situation and I didn't want to worsen it more.

My eyes darted to Bellatrix who was now being completely ignored as she was taken away by elves. I stood in front of the table completely emotion less because I had completely shut off as everyone just stared at me with wide eyes.
"This is my daughter Thana." He said at everyone as they stared at me harder in awe as if I was some trophy they wanted badly.

"Do you still think she is not qualified to be my heir?"
