Draco's daughter | Harry Potter

Chapter 4 - Trapped

Narrator's POV

The next day, Juliana was released from the hospital and was free to go home, but under deep supervision. The doctors, healers and nurses were unable to figure out what happened. Hence, they simply declared it as a concussion or a lead to an uncanny disease.

Draco and Lucius knew that wasn't the case but they didn't tell Juliana a thing about the Horcruxes since it would petrify her and keep her subdued. After all, she was just a nine-year-old who didn't know what this problem would lead her life to.

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy! I want to go to the bookstore!" Julianna exclaimed as the last and final series of my favourite Potion's book has been released today. "Relax, Julie. We will go there once we finish eating," Draco said, trying not to sound like an austere parent so he wouldn't ruin the look of ecstasy on her daughter's face.

They were sitting at the dining table, finishing their lunches and Lucius just stared at Juliana with bewilderment. Isn't the dark lord dead? How could there be an 8th horcrux?
A million questions erupted in his head while he ate his lunch and stared at Draco's daughter. Neither Scorpius or Narcissa or anyone knew about this — it was just between Lucius and Draco because their theory is yet to be confirmed. They all left the dining table awkwardly, without a word.

They both admitted that sometimes their
death eater mark would prickle and burn slightly, but they didn't think it was a big deal? Was this a hint? A clue that the dark lord is still alive? Both seemed to be bewildered and daunted by this gibbous theory Draco had. Lucius seemed to acting like he didn't know what was going on either or did he? Ah, there's my queue to leave!

Juliana POV:

As I fluttered by eyes opened, the first thing that I could see was a stone - the sybollum; one of the most powerful, magical stone that was created by the most incongruous and unscrupulous wizard after Voldemort - McLawgen Sinistar. The stone killed people in the most ghastly and bloodcurdling way you could ever imagine. The stone would rip off your skin, letting them boil during the process, burn your whole hair and scalp, dissect your eyes and rip of your organs until you do as what the current owner demands. But why was I here? And why have I never seen this room before? I thought I have been to every secret passages in this castle trying to hid from grandfather whenever he was going to yell at me- but i don't remember ever seeing this one.

Then suddenly, out of the blue, a shadow appears in. I couldn't make out his or her face since it was dark and a cloak to cover his/her's head. My heart started beating so quickly. I had no wand yet and there was no point in screaming since I already sensed that silence spell around this room - I was going to die. Wait, what about daddy? And Scorpius too! I haven't gotten a chance to say goodbye to them.

The person stepped closer and closer to me. As he walked closer, I could make out that it was a guy. His steps were echoing the whole entire room and my heart felt as if it was going to burst. He looked at me straight in the eyes, his eyes glowed red for a second and returned to normal.

As the clock slid back, I could see who it was and I couldn't believe that it was him. It was...it was..

(A/N: dun dun dun dun...who is it?! Heyyo! It's been over a month since I uploaded because I am very busy with schoolwork and studying, which is consuming 6 - 10 hours of my weekdays after school, so yes, I do apologise for this all. Hopefully, I can make up for it by uploading another chapter this weekend. Bye!)
