The Malfoy Manor
I couldn't see anything but I knew where I was brought to
I didn't have to see the giant Manor for it to be known to me where I wasBlaise walked me through a barrier and then I could fully see the building
It was late at night when I was being brought in, a day before the full moon but even with the moon almost at its peak the manor wasn't illuminatedIt was almost completely dark, they did a great job defending it with spells I could feel the barrier attack my skin when I was dragged through
The only reason I wasn't electrocuted was because Blaise held my arm
"You cut your hair I see" he said looking at my face, I refused to look back "I liked your long hair better"
Good thing I cut it shortWe walked side by side until we reached the front door, I didn't know what I would be greeted with. The wedding wasn't for a few weeks according to the paper but I was going to see first hand if it was a lie or not
Blaise opened the door, the paper lied
I could see house elves rushing around decorating last minute pieces
A white wedding this was not, black lace covered tables, black cake flew passed us carried by an over worked elf. I saw guest walking through, paying us no mind, covered in all black.
If I had to guess the only color that would be added was Pansy's wedding dressThe inside was as dark as I expected truly
There were pictures scattered throughout the hall that he dragged me through, Draco was in each of them but he didn't smile
Not in any of them, even when he was a little boy his face was pure sorrow
I let myself wonder what happened to him growing up
I felt like a failure of a friend for not knowing how depressing his home life looked
Was that why he invited me over every year...he wanted me safe but he was so lonely here
My family had hardly any photos, but the ones we did have we were happy in
I wonder if he suffered from abuse like I did...he just didn't vocalize itBlaise dragged me down flights of stairs, no one stopped him
I shouldn't be surprised, I'm sure I look the opposite of a wedding guest
Covered in dirt and in an outfit that screamed worker not formal"Where is my dragon" I demanded as he continued our journey to below the surface
It was freezing cold here, for a few more hours I would suffer from my own extreme cold
At least then the full moon's curse would heat my body up"Your dragon is going to be the part of his gift, we will kill it and then send off her skin for clothing and whatever else they make dragons out of. Only the most elite have dragon laced pieces, Draco will be one of those now. I would be more worried about yourself truly"
"I'm not"
I have to find Cor before they hurt her"You should be"
Blaise threw me into a dungeon and then walked inside with me
"You almost got me expelled from school, now who holds a grudge five years later? Me"
He kicked my side
I pushed off the ground and went to hit him but he used his wand to bind my hands behind my back
I felt for my wand, it was still inside my pants where I placed it
As long as I had that I could find my dragon and leaveI let him beat into me, the weaker he thought I was the better
He kicked me, shoved me into the wall, smashed my head against the floor whatever he felt like doing
By the time he closed the gate I was in a pile of my own blood
I pushed myself off of the ground and leaned against the wall"Until tomorrow" he said winking at me "oh there needs to be a window in here, the moon needs a way to creep in"
He used his wand to make a window out of a spot in the wall, it wasn't big enough to do much damage but I felt like if I stood under the light I would start to burn
He walked back inside my cage and used his wand to tie my hands up, he placed me directly under the moonlight
"Much better" he pulled my face towards his own "I hope the moonlight kills you honestly. You remember what I said? I would be the one to kill you. After Draco sees you all bruised and beaten I will come back to end your life. I want the moonlight to curse you once more before I do that of course. I can't imagine how painful it is to be burned alive" he shoved my head into the wall"Fuck you" I said spitting blood onto his face
"Still as feisty as ever, I hope you don't think Draco will rescue you. He doesn't think about you ever, he has Pansy you should see how happy the couple is"
I tried not letting his words hurt me, but they did. I wanted Draco happy that's what I told myself but deep down I wanted him with me more
"When I showed him the paper with your name he didn't even bait an eye at it. He read it and scoffed about how they wrote of his wedding like he was some sort of trash celebrity. You mean nothing to him"
"Why did you bring me here then?"
"So he can see how bad you've fallen, I'm going to offer him the kill and if he doesn't take it your mine"
"How kind of you, I didn't think you liked each other enough to give gifts"
He smirked
"I hate him with everything I am. I'm actually hoping seeing you brings him despair but I know it won't. I want to see your dragon burn him alive but I play nice to get what I want. I always get what I want"
Memories of what Draco said years ago when he warned me about Blaise entered my mind
Be careful with him, he always gets what he wantsBlaise slammed my door shut, leaving me on the cold now wet floor in the bottom of the Malfoy Manor
