Magyk: Darkness and Light

Chapter 10

They lay on the ground a little daze for a while before straightening and sitting up. Their eyes looked around to find out they were in an unfamiliar place. A gravelly voice breaking the silence making the little boys turned their heads towards the hooded figure that still holding the walking stick, the figure floating in front of them like it has no feet at all. Meanwhile, a man whose named was Gellert still standing at the same place beside the creature but his eyes bored into the little boys. The hooded figure raised the walking stick to cast 'Mirrio' as a giant mirror floating in front of them. A light flashes brightly in the mirror so Tom and Draco have to raise both arms to cover their eyes and slowly dropped their arms when the light faded from the mirror. They saw an image of a blonde hair boy that could be around the age of four hide under his blanket, his head was bowed, limbs were bend and drawn up to the torso as he was trembling like a leaf. The noise of small sobs could be heard coming out from the boy who still the same position like a foetal position. He shrieked as his father pulled away the blanket from him and dragged out from the bed and went down to the stairs into the basement. The sound of curse spells could be heard from the basement room. " That would teaches you not to be weak, boy", said the father with soft voice but don't be mistaken by that gentle tone because he was angry when he was calm. He looked down at his son who was whimpering in pain. " I regretted not to banish you immediately before you were born. I didn't expect to have a weak and yet you humiliated me in front of the guests. You didn't deserved the title of Malfoy heir in this house. If I heard any of your negative progress next time, you'll bored the consequence, son ", he stopped talking and walked away from the room leaving the bleeding child alone. The image faded from the mirror leaving the distraught Draco who still stared at the mirror. He clenching his fists, struggling for control. " Your past became your biggest fear, Draco Malfoy". The hooded figure whispered closely to Draco's ear as he shivered by it's cool breath. He felt himself being moved to another place and then saw his father was standing in front of him. His father grinned evilly while pointed his wand to cast a spell ' Crucio' but Draco quickly called ' Glacio' to freeze his father. He turned his head left and right seeking for an escape. He spotted a dim red light could be seen emanating the giant door was framed in Stygian iron,with black and silver colour. Draco immediately get out from the darkness as soon as the door opened itself for him. He heard the sound of someone groaning in pain where it comes from Tom. The sight of Tom was grabbed on his face by the hooded figure was terrifying. Tom was getting weaker as his magic was drained away from his core. He felt helpless and scared of being dead. Draco closed his eyes and become invisible from everyone as he tiptoeing behind the hooded figure as he lifted the walking stick to point it toward the owner with 'Glacio' spell. It froze the hooded figure and he quickly grabbed Tom by his waist. Gellert and he creature appeared from the darkness when they were alerted by the sudden violence of magic called them. As they running after the duo but failed to catch them when they emerged from the place mysteriously. Tom and Draco popped out in the middle of the living room where Hermione was fast asleep in the sofa. The duo looked at each other and kneeling in front of the sofa facing Hermione. Tom shakes her shoulder softly. Her eyelids slowly opened as she saw two pairs of eyes blinking owlishly at her. Her eyes widened and cried happily. Before the boy could say anything, she hugged them tightly until the three of of them stumbling on the floor. She sniffles quietly into their shoulders and they felt the shirts were soaked by her tears. " Where have you been all day long? I was worried", she said with hoarse voice and pulled away from the embrace to wipe her tears. Tom and Draco started their story about a long journey to find some foods and the evil wizards kidnapping them to the darkest place they'd never seen before. Hermione was quite during the conversation as her brain formed a million question after hearing the events. They ate in silence as they thought still disturbed about what was happened today. It was unusual for Hermione not to lecture them over the stolen foods.
