Chapter 26 :
I could feel the strong pull of gravitational force, pulling me down to the penseive. Everything around me was revolving, black mist was covering my vision. It felt like an endless fall in that small bowl (penseive). Finally, the black mist cleared itself and I found myself in a dark room. I could hear someone's voice.... A beautiful sound of a female....
"Lucius, I'm scared. I'm scared for our family. I hate the way he looks at me. Please, Lucius I want to get away from this place, from him. I can't let him touch me, I'm married to you, you are my soulmate. I would die than let him touch me." pleaded Narissca. Tears were flowing down her cheeks like heavy rains pouring down from the darkest clouds, an expression of hurt and fear was evident on her beautiful face.
"Cissy, I.......I.......We have to obey him, you know...." Lucius said, not meeting her eyes.
"How could you Lucius! Can't you see, he has put you down and insulted you many times! He doesn't even consider you in his inner circle, you are no more his most valuable person. Parkinson has taken your position now! How could you risk our family into this mess!!!! He is evil, cruel, a monster!!! He intends to put me into his bed!!!!! Lucius!!!!!!! Does my dignity means nothing to you ???????" said Narissca, who was crying out loud.
Lucius didn't dare to look into her eyes. Shame was registered on his face. He felt pathetic, a big loser and a puppet to The Dark Lord. "You mean alot to me, Cissy" he said and left the room.
Narissca was crying her heart out loud. Hermione gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. She felt horrible for her. No woman should deserve this. No one should harm a woman's dignity!!
Suddenly she was covered with the black mist, which pulled her into another memory.
Now she was in the dining room of The Malfoys. There were nearly 30 Death Eaters and The Dark Lord himself. Bellatrix sat to the left of The Dark Lord. She remembered few faces of the Death Eaters whom she faced last year in the Department of Mysteries. Her gaze then fell upon Draco. He was looking very pale and devasted, his eyes could tell the sorrow hidden behind them. She then spotted Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson and Theo Nott, who were her classmates. All of them, except for Pansy looked very pale, fear was marked upon their faces, they sat rigid, looking at their hands. And then she heard The Dark Lord speak for the first time.His eyes was dark green in colour, his body was pale white, he was flashing his yellow teeth and smiling devilishly. His eyes were focused on one person- the most beautiful, in the entire room. None other than Narissca Malfoy. She was intensely looking down at her hand, particularly her ring finger. The Dark Lord then cleared his voice and said the most frightening thing she has ever heard!!!
"Draco has to kill Dumbledore ", as soon as Hermione heard this, she went numb. She looked at Draco and his parents, who were shocked to death. She then saw Narissca Malfoy getting up from her seat and speaking against the Dark Lord, to protect her son. The consequence of speaking against him, made Hermione shiver. Nearly 10 Cruciatus Curse were shot to the bravest women she has know till date. She was writhering in pain, a puddle of blood could be seen around her body. She glanced at Draco and Lucius, who looked very shattered and ashamed. Their eyes were filled with tears, but everyone was numb. Only her screams of torture and pain could be heard.
Hermione could no longer see the torture that The Malfoys were facing.
She felt great admiration for this women, infront of her. She gave her enough reasons to fight for the loved ones. She was an epitome of the bravest and courageous woman she has ever seen or heard in books.Suddenly she found herself infront of Prof Dumbledore...............
