Dragon's Promise

Chapter 28

EDITED

Harry's P.O.V

We were still in the living room waiting for Oliver to send back a patronus. It was 10:00 in the morning. 

"I haven't heard anything from Scorpius in a while. Do you think he's okay?" Draco asked from beside me. 

"Maybe he fell asleep?" I suggested and he shook his head. 

"No. He hasn't been able to sleep for more than an hour at a time since Albus disappeared." It was true. I was worried about him. I stood up. "I'm gonna go check on him. I'll be right back." I said and headed upstairs. 

I knocked on the door to his room. No answer. 

"Scorp? You okay in there?" I called. Still no answer. I put my hand on the knob and turned it. The door clicked open. Wait. I thought I put wards up. I stepped inside and looked around. Scorpius was gone. 

"Son of a bitch!" I cursed and went back downstairs. 

"Scorpius is gone. Somehow he broke the wards and escaped out the window." I said and Draco jumped up. "Come on. He probably went to Ginny's." He reasoned and we grabbed our coats. Damn it Scorpius. 

Scorpius' P.O.V

I had done it. Turns out the bond comes with perks. I was strong enough to counter the wards and escape on my broom. I flew over the country side until I saw the Wood house. I took a swift nosedive and landed on the roof. Albus was here. I could feel it. I opened the sunroof and slipped inside. I had done this countless times but I knew Ginny wasn't stupid, Albus was being kept in the basement. Where nobody would go. I tried going slow but soon found myself running.

"Who's there?" Ginny called but I kept running. I reached the basement and looked around. At first glance I didn't see anything but when I looked again I saw a door in the corner of the room. I bolted over and tried to open it. It was locked. 

"Alohamora!" I said with a flick of my wand. 

Nothing. 

"Scorpius! Stop it! You just broke into somebody's house!" It was my dad. I whirled around. 

"Not just somebody, dad! My boyfriend's kidnapper! She took my mate!" I screamed. I noticed that I had started to glow red and let my anger flow through me. 

"What does he mean mate?" I heard Ginny whisper to my papa. 

"They have a bond like ours exept-" He stopped short when he saw my hands pressed against the door, red cracks appearing throughout it. I concentrated harder and the door turned to ashes at my feet.

"Albus?" I called. No answer. I stepped into the tiny damp room. I spotted a lump laying on the floor in the corner and ran to it's side. 

"Albus? Wake up Al! Wake up!" I yelled. He didn't move or open his eyes. I carefully picked him up bridal style and carried him out of the room, my blood boiling with rage. 

"What did you do to him." I growled. It wasn't a question. 

"I-I he- he had water but-" Ginny stammered, backing away from me. I felt my eyes heat up and felt a burning by my shoulder blades. I let out a scream of rage and saw Ginny's skin turn red and start to smoke. She screamed in pain and fell to the floor. 

"YOU HURT MY MATE!" I shouted. I watched as her skin turned black and then looked away. She didn't deserve to die. She deserved to suffer. I heard Aunt Hermione take Ginny to St. Mungos but I knew they wouldn't be able to heal the wounds by magic. That's not how it works with phoenix burns. 

"Scorpius. You- uh- you have wings..." My dad pointed out. 

"Yes and I plan to use them. I'm taking Albus home." I said, my voice a steely calm. They called after me but I'd already burned a hole straight through the house and into the sky. 

I flew all the way home and landed softly on the porch, using wandless magic to open the door, I stepped inside and carefully set Albus on our bed. I lay beside him, my head on his chest, listening to his heart beat.

"Albus wake up. Please. I love you." One of my tears fell on his face and started to glow. I sniffed and watched as it faded into his skin and healed his wounds. 'Phoenix tears can heal'. Albus slowly opened his eyes and I sobbed in relief. 

"Albus! Oh thank Merlin you're awake!" I made to kiss him but he jerked away, fear in his eyes. 

"G-get away f-from m-me! D-don't hurt me a-again!" He yelled. His stutter was back. 

"I never hurt you Al, I promise. I won't hurt you." I said quietly, slowly moving towards him. He wimpered and curled against the edge of the bed leaning on the wall. 

"You c-came every d-day. B-beat m-me and s-starved m-me." He whispered into his knees. 

"No. That was your mother, Ginny. She must've used a picture of me so that you associate me with hurt and pain." I said softly, sitting back with tears filling my eyes. 

"J-just stay away!" He yelled and I got off the bed, walking to the closet and opening it so that he could get fresh clothes if he wanted but also grabbing one of his sweaters for me. 

"I love you Albus. I hope that one day you'll remember that." I whispered and walked out of the room. My own mate thought that I had tortured him. Ginny was going to suffer for this. Big time.

Muahahahaha! You all probably hate me rn... woops :/ I'm assuming you hate me enough not to vote so I'm still not gonna ask. Ya'll are still reading?! THANKS!
