Lifeless Body

Chapter 19 :

At Malfoy Manor :

"Oh dear beautiful, come to me..." The Dark Lord's blue eyes gleamed with excitement. The woman standing infront of him, had caught his eyes for a long time now and he will finally have her tonight, to himself.

She was standing there, shivering and scared that if she defies the Dark Lord, the consequences this time would be worse than before...

Flashback:

"Draco has to kill Dumbledore! And if he fails in his task, the consequences will be death." The Dark Lord hissed.

Draco went rigid, fear was gripping him from within yet no emotions could be seen on his face. He just stood there, emotionless.

Lucius and Narissca Malfoy went deadly pale as soon as they heard the monster commanding their son with the most deadliest task and it's deadly consequences, which even the Dark Lord couldn't accompanish before. And now, their only son was put under the death threat by none other than Voldemort.

There was no point to oppose what the Dark Lord said, but this didn't frighten the brave and selfless mother who loved her child with all her heart. So much that she would rather die in her son's place, than let her son get his hands dirty.

She stood up and faced the devil. "He is my only child, who is barely 16 years old! How can he kill Dumbledore- the greatest wizard of all the time, when you couldn't! Please have some mercy on my son!"

Every other death eater in the room gasped at her outburst. Nobody dared to speak to the Lord in such a way.

That was the last thing that she spoke thereafter, her vision went blurred. "No one can defy me-THE DARK LORD, you little scum! How dare you speak to me in this manner! Crucio, Crucio, Crucio.... !!" the Dark Lord hissed, his serpent eyes were flashing red in anger.

Narissca was withering in pain and her loud screams were echoing in all the corners of the manor.

Nearly 10 Cruciatus Curse were shot on her back to back.
Her entire body looked lifeless.

Draco Malfoy couldn't believe what he saw...his lovely and dearest mother was tortured by Voldemort in front of all the death eaters and on top of that in his own house! She was Lady Malfoy and he was stripping her down to such a low level.

He wanted to kill this Monster infront of him, but he felt his father's firm hand on his shoulder. And for the first time in his life, he has never hated anyone more than he hated his father today.

But even Lucius Malfoy went pale. Draco didn't look at him to know his reaction. He only thought that his father was still bloody loyal to Voldemort. He only thought about how he sold his wife, his son, his manor and himself to this monster.

But in reality, Lucius loved his family. Narissca was his soul mate, every curse on her could be felt by him.

It was all his fault

He knew, he is solely responsible to get his family into this mess. Narissca screams were killing every inch of heart.

He vowed to himself, that now he will keep his family safe from the clutches of Voldemort. And he'll do anything to defeat the Beast standing infront of him. Even if it means, going to the Light side.

The Order was the only hope left for him.

End of flashback:

Narissca's eyes were bloodshot with tears, she looked pale lying on the sheets like a limp doll.

Voldemort's gaze drifted again to the woman whose pale features made him feel both proud and powerful.

Just as he was about to make a move towards her, he was interrupted by Bellatrix Lestrange. She was envious of her sister- she wished that Dark Lord would look her the way he looks at her beautiful sister. She wanted to be his Lady!

"My Lord, someone has broken into the vault!" Bellatrix whispered in his ear.

Dark Lord shot her a murderous look "Who dare broke in? Is my Cup safe?"

"It's stolen, My Lord." she answered.

"Noooooooooooooooooooo " The Dark Lord screamed in rage.

( It was then Harry's scar started paining)

At the Vault:

"The cup of Helga Hufflepuff was missing!
Someone knows about the Horcrux!
It's impossible! Who will steal it ??"
Voldemort thought to himself.

He killed all the guards in rage.
And went back to the manor, only to find the lifeless body of Narissca Malfoy.
