Falling for the Enemy: Draco Malfoy Love Story

Chapter 17 - The meeting.

"Who killed him?" My lord hissed at myself, Draco, Severus, Bellatrix, Fenrir, Rowle and a few others. Myself as Snape raised our hands at the same time.

"How could you both kill him when I ordered Draco" - he shoved his wand in Draco face causing him to stumble back - "to kill him. However, I am pleased that you both showed your loyalty. You will be rewarded."

We both nodded, he pointed us to the door but stopped Draco. I knew he was going to be punished. I gave him a weak smile before leaving. His mother was waiting outside for us, when we didn't see Draco she fell into my arms crying. I soothed her and took her into the kitchen at sat at the table away from the sounds of Draco's screams.

"I can't believe you killed Dumbledore. How thankful i am of you for saving Draco's soul. You really are perfect for him Casey. I'm glad that something has become of you." Cissy told me. I started crying as well and we both comforted each other until Draco emerged from the room and into the kitchen looking very weak.

"Let's take you up to rest Drake, I'll order a house elf to bring some healing and replenishing potion. You need sleep, or a hot bubble bath." I said whilst hugging him. I let go of him so Cissy could engulf him into a hug and guide him up the stairs. I ran a bath whilst shouting the house elf - Missy - to get the potions. Suddenly my mark stated burning.

"He wants me. I have to. Cissy, take care of him." I said whilst walking down to the meeting room. I opens the door to find Voldemort sitting at the head of the table.

"Ah, Casey. Please sit here" - he indicated to a seat just next to him - "we have things to..discuss."

"I know your my father, My Lord". He looked at me with sorrow, but a second after he put on a blank face.

"I am assuming Dumbledore told you? Hm, I thought he would. Well, it is up to you if you regard me as a father. If you want to carry on as if I am not your father then we will speak no more of it, I will still look out for you though." He spoke but I interrupted.

"I would like people to know. I would like to regard you as a father. If that is okay with you?" I asked him. He nodded in reply then sighed.

"From the minute I branded you, I wanted to tell you the truth but I could not. I was not sure how you would take it. I did not kill your mother, she was killed by her husband then I killed him." I laughed at him and he smirked. "He found out about me being the father of you and he was determined to kill me, so I did what I had to do." He looked at me.

"I need no explanation, as long as you want me as a daughter. As you know, I didn't want Draco to kill Dumbledore because I have fallen in love with the boy. So I sent the spell at the headmaster at the same time as Snape." He touched my shoulder as I finished speaking.

"That is a very noble thing to do. I am angry that Draco did not do it, however I knew that he wouldn't be able to. I never expected you to step up, I applaud your bravery. In a few weeks at the meeting, we will tell everyone of our family relations. You can tell Draco when you go back to him, is that okay?" He questioned me.

I nodded and hugged him. He stayed stiff for a second but soon relaxed into a hug. I left him and went back to Draco's room. He was in the bath as I could hear him snoring away. I chuckled and let him sleep for about 2 hours whilst i sorted out his room.

"Draco? It's 1am, you have to get out of the bath and into bed before you shrivel into a prune." I spoke from behind the door. I heard him release the water and he emerged from the door wearing just boxers.

"Sleep with me tonight? I need you around." He spoke looking desperate. I slipped my clothes off and put one of his tops and boxers on before slipping into bed.

"Thank you for tonight, i don't know where I would be without you. I love you Casey Wirrall." He whispered in my ear as we cuddled together.

I turned to face him and whispered "i think you mean Casey Riddle." He looked so confused so i retold the entire story to him in about 5 minutes.

"Wow! I was not expecting that." I laughed at him before drifting into a nice sleep.

*IN THE MEETING*

We were all sat around the big table. There must of been about 40 of us. However there was 1 seat that was empty and that was Snape's. The meeting was supposed to start at 9 and it was now 10:30. The door suddenly opened and Severus swooped in.

"Ah Severus, I was beginning to think you'd lost your way. You bring news I hope?" My father hissed.

"They will move him Saturday next at nightfall." He replied.

"I've heard different My Lord. Dawlish the auror let slip that the Potter boy would not be moved until the 30th of this month, a day before he turns 17." Yaxley interrupted.

"This is a false trail. The auror office no longer play part in the protection of Harry Potter. Those closest to him believe we have infiltrated the ministry." Snape said at quite a louder volume.

My father looked suspicious and focused his eyes to the other end of the table. "What say you Pius?"

"One hears many things My Lord, whether the truth among them is not clear". Pius replied. My father let out at laugh.

"Ha, spoken like a true politician." He turned to Snape. "Where will he b taken, the boy?"

"To a house of one of the Order members. I am assured it will have the best protection where it will be impossible to attack." Snape replied.

Bellatrix who was sitting next to me spoke up. "My Lord, I want to be the one to fulfil the task, I want to kill the boy." Then a screech from one of the prisoners caused my father to shout at Wormtail.

"Bellatrix, as inspiring as I find your bloodlust, I must be the one to kill the boy." - she cowers back in her seat and nodded - "however, I face a complication. It seems that mine and Harry's wand share the same cores, it is like our wands are brothers. This means I cannot kill him, but just injure. This means I require someone else's wand." He spoke as he walked around the table.

"Come. Surely one of you would like the offer?" He said whilst getting closer to me and the Malfoy's. "How about you, Lucius?" He spoke.

"My lord?" Lucius quivered.

"My lord" - Father mocked - "I require your wand." So Lucius took out his wand from his cane and my father carried on speaking. "Do I detect Elm?" Lucius nodded. "And the core?" My father asked.

"Dragon-heart string." Lucius replied. My father repeated it.

"We also have another announcement to make. This has been kept a secret for 17 years, but it is time you all knew. I have a daughter. And my daughter is Casey Wirrall. He said whilst standing behind me. "She should be treated with respect, and make sure she is protected on EVERY mission she is put on."

"You are dismissed. Except Draco, Severus and Casey" He hissed before sitting back down.

"Father? What is it?" I questioned him after he rest left.

"Severus will be headmaster of Hogwarts. You and Draco will both go back as students, as there will be also be the Carrows who will be teachers there and in charge of punishment. So far, we have been able to lift the law on the Unforgivable Curses not being able to be used. Therefore, as punishment in the school, the spells will be used, except the killing curse."

"So we will be attending our seventh year My Lord?" Draco asked.

"Yes young Draco, you will arrive a week earlier with Severus. Any questions?" He asked us. We shook our heads and gestured us to go.

Brilliant, another year at Hogwarts, another year being hated by the Gryffindors. At least I won't be in trouble due to the Carrows.
