Through the Darkness | Draco Malfoy

"Sit." Snape pushed a chair in front of her.

Aries slowly took a seat and stared into his eyes. "I'm sure I did many wrong things but you'll have to get used to it." she spoke truthfully.

Snape scoffed at the statement, his wand raised towards her forehead. "Just like your father."

"What does my father got to do with this?" she asked.

"Everything. Your father was the stupidest man I have ever seen. Lazy, reckless, arrogant, he's the reason nobody is safe here, and you still insist on saving him. Where is he?" Snape asked.

"Huh?"

"I asked, where is he?"

"How should I know?" she snapped.

He grabbed her chin and forced her to look up into his eyes. "I think I made myself clear about that, where is he?"

"I told you, I don't know."

"You know exactly where he is," Snape sneered, "you've been lying ever since you came here. And if you don't start cooperating, he will pay for all this."

She sighed and looked down at her lap.

"Think about everyone's safety, someone might die if you don't answer this question." he tried convincing her.

"He's—"

Suddenly, she can hear a howl coming from outside, it made her raise her head and turn it toward where the sound came from, exactly like a dog.

She turned her head back to Snape, who had a slight smile on his face. "What's wrong? you heard something?"

She knew her father was calling her, but the fact that Snape is here, she was put in a dangerous situation.

"I..." she slowly stood up. "Oh god." she turned into a dog and quickly got herself out of his office.

She left the school and went towards the sound, and where it came from was the Whomping Willow, her father mentioned he will be there to kill Wormtail.

Before she can reach the willow, Snape casted a spell from afar, causing her to turn back as a human and start rolling down a small hill.

She rolled around until she landed on the ground with a loud thud. When she finally calmed down, she stood up and noticed she has an enormous wound on her leg; blood was seeping through her skin and clothes.

She looked to her right and saw Snape standing there. "That hurt!" she cried.

He didn't answer and pointed his wand to her leg.

"No! Stop! don't kill me!" she whimpered. She watched as his hand moved slowly down her leg, she started to shake.

When his hand stopped, she felt something warm on her leg. Looking down at her leg and seeing the wound has gone away. Her leg wasn't injured anymore.

"Why— why did you heal my leg?" she asked.

"It doesn't matter now, what matters now is you're helping me finish this job." he grabbed her by the robe, on her feet and took her to the willow. "Now since this willow was planted by your father and his stupid friends, I'm sure it won't mind letting you inside." He let her go.

"And what if it hits me?!" she asked.

"Then we'll have two problems instead of one." he answered.

"I'll report you for harassment if that happens." she said, stepping toward the tree.

"Oh please, you'd be dead." he crossed his arms.

"How the hell is he a teacher..." she mumbled to herself and looked up at the willow. "Um... am supposed to speak for it or something?"
