Dragon's Promise

Chapter 37

EDITED

Scorpius' P.O.V

Albus had explained what was going on because of the bond and I'm not sure I felt any better knowing. 

"You mean between the two of us I'm the female?!"

"Yeah, I guess so..."

"Why am I the female?"

"I don't know..."

"Am I going to start laying eggs now?"

"Not according to Hermione."

"Well good! 'Cause that would be embarrassing and awkward."

I couldn't even imagine how uncomfortable that would be. I shivered and Albus laughed. I stuck my tongue out at him and pouted but he stopped me with a slow kiss on the lips. When we pulled away I smiled and Albus smiled back... for a moment and then it faded into a frown. He was looking behind me. I turned around and there stood the one person I least wanted to see. 

"Hello Scorpius. Albus. Did you miss me?" 

I glared at her. She had dyed her hair so it was brown that faded into dark royal blue. She was wearing red skinny jeans and a plain black t-shirt. Combat boots were laced on her feet and there was a dagger strapped to her left calf and a strap for her wand on her right thigh. 

"No. We didn't." I growled and she raised her eyebrows. She started to walk forwards but Albus stopped her. "Delaney don't. We can help you." He said slowly, raising his hands in surrender. Delaney laughed and smirked. 

"Oh- ha- no you can't. I don't want your help. You see, this world is boring. Little countries all alone but I can fix that! And I will... I'm going to be a queen. In fact, I'm going to be the queen." She had gone mad! She must've, I mean I knew her well enough to know that she would never do something like this.

"You've been gone for two weeks and now you come back? Why? Dementors are swooping around the grounds and they keep coming back. The whole tournament has been put off and you just leave?!" I yell and she simpers. "So you did miss me! Awww how sweet... and about the dementors... they make very obedient pets don't you think?" She twirls and spreads her arms, "With an army of them and an army of wizards I can do anything. This is your chance Scorpius. You too Al. Join me and we can rule the world. Don't join me and- well, I'll still rule the world but you probably won't live to see it..." She pouted and then grinned. I looked over to Albus who looked hurt.

"All of this is you? Delaney, you don't have to do this. We will help you!" Albus pleaded and she rolled her eyes, flicking her wand out to the side. Sparks flew from the tip. That means that even the wand knew she was mentally unstable. "Are you joining or not? I'm getting bored of this talk." 

I sighed and took Albus' hand. 

"No."

"What do you mean no?!" She cackled.

"We won't join you." Her expression darkened and she raised an eyebrow. "Very well. I won't kill you now... I also came here to get something I'd forgotten. Accio coat!" A brown trench coat flew from the girls dormitories and into her hand. She slipped it on and put her wand into it's strap. 

"See you! I have to deal with a certain someone named Daniel... I may be 'dark' as you like to call it but he used an unforgivable curse and only those with my permission can use those." She grinned and twirled her finger in the air, causing her to burst into silver mist and disappear. Albus gaped at the spot where Delaney had stood. A small slip of paper floated down from that spot and I carefully picked it up.

'P.S Nobody calls me that anymore, my name is Ilumina.'

Ilumina's P.O.V

I sighed as I watched Daniel. He was cowering in the corner of the Horned Serpent common room. Coward. It's really a shame that they didn't join me. Oh well, it will make this that much more fun. I waltzed over to Daniel and smiled. 

"Don't be afraid Danny boy! This will only hurt a little- actually you know what? This will hurt a lot!" His eyes widened and he pushed himself harder against the wall. I held out my hand and his head slammed against the wall before being dragged up the wall where he floated, choking. 

"Ugh- legh- me- go." He spat. 

"Nah... I'd rather see you suffer. Sectumsemphra!" I felt my wand heat up on my leg and warmth spread up through my body to my arm and my hand. Gashes appeared on his chest and blood leaked through his shirt and he soon passed out. I dropped him to the floor and wiped my hands on my pants. 

I walked over to the window and opened it. Swinging my legs over the edge I dropped to the grass. The Horned Serpent common room was on ground level so I watched the reactions of the students when they walked in on Daniel's cold, broken body. Screams echoed through the room and teachers rushed in. 

"Accio broomstick." I said quietly, holding out my hand while still watching the goings on in the common room and catching the broomstick when it came. It was the newest model. Not that I had bought it, no. I stole it. I hopped on and pushed off the ground, feeling the wind in my hair. I let out a laugh. I felt powerful. And that feeling would only grow with each day.

Plot twist! I figured it would be boring to have her just be misunderstood so here we are! I am having way to much fun with this killing part. Writing people killing other people is oddly fun... oh well, that's just the psychopath in me talking. :)
