-Malfoy Manor-
18:11, 30 June 2024Draco and I had executed my plan perfectly. The dark side are blaming it on muggles, and the other side thinks it was the Dark Lord. Unfortunately though I haven't been in contact with him since, it was too risky. I spent some times practicing and perfecting my powers. I could now control every inch of smoke and electricity in my body. Pretty cool, if you ask me.
Now I was on my way back to Bronte's, I was tired of being alone.
"Hello Dear. I was wondering when you'd next appear at my door, how have you been?"
"Oh so much has happened. So much."
"I heard the news about Dumbledore. Was never really a fan of him, but sad nevertheless. "
I nod, before telling how about Draco and how he was tasked to do it but eventually Snape stepped in.
"You poor kids." She hands me a drink, sitting down next to me. "All that in a space of seven months?"
I exhale, "It was.. well still is awful."
"Have you seen him since?"
"Yeah we had a little day out, which was nice but also weeks ago and oh, I also at the start of summer stupidly decidedtovisitthemanorduringameetingwiththedarklord."
"You did what?"
"I was mad... at what-"
"Call him Tom dear."
"okay, I was mad at Tom, for what he put Draco through and I also needed my wand. So I barged in, during a meeting about my Harry's whereabouts, might of done a bit of back-talk and tried to threaten him but was stopped."
"Foolish but I can't say I wouldn't have done similar."
"I don't think he knows about my powers... but the Malfoys and Bellatrix, and Greyback do. Is that bad? I tried my hardest not to use them just in case."
"Very wise of you. I doubt he'd make the link straight away but let's not risk it." She winks. "How are your powers?"
"Good, i've been practicing, before I came here." I smile before showing her a few of my trick.
"Amazing Jade, truly amazing. Now one more question, aren't you suppose to be dead?"
"Yes." I grin. "But I had nothing to do with that, just a great coincidence. I can lay low, figure my powers out, and all that. Do you think I can stay here?"
"I don't see why not..... don't you want to be out there destroy Tom's Horcruxes."
"Nah, I think Harry's got that sorted. Honestly If I wasn't dead, I'd go back to Hogwarts."
"Does Harry know the truth though?"
"No, we haven't spoken since Dumbledore died and even then we didn't really speak."
"Oh dear, this isn't going to be that smooth is it?"
"Not my fault Harry's ego is too big."
"You two." She shakes her head.
"Can't he just do it? Like am I that important to his death?"
"You have to be the one Jade... the one who physically kills him. It's fate."
"Brilliant."
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
"He doesn't know what he's doing, does he?" Ron asks Hermione.
"None of us do."
"You know... I bet Jade did... What? that girl barely shared her plans yet they always worked out perfectly."
"You don't think she's actually dead, do you? I mean, come on this is Jade! She's powerful and smart. It doesn't make any sense."
"No, it doesn't... let's just hope no one else ends up like her."
....
The lights in the tent go off and Ron finishes Harry's sentence, "The swords was stolen.... Yeah, Im still here." He turns the lights back on. "but you two carry on. Don't let me spoil the fun."
"What's wrong?" Harry asks.
"Wrong? Nothing's wrong. Not according to you, anyway."
"Look, if you've got something to say ,don't be shy. Spit it out."
"Alright, I'll spit it out. But don't expect me to be grateful just because now there's another damn thing we've got to find."
"I thought you knew what you signed up for."
"Yeah, I thought I did too"
"Well, then, i'm sorry, but I don't quite understand." Harry gets up from the table. "What part of this isn't living up to your expectations?"
"I just thought after all this time we would have actually achieved something. I thought you knew what you were doing. I thought Dumbledore would have told you something worthwhile. I thought you had a plan."
"I told you everything Dumbledore told me. And, in case you haven't noticed, we have found a horcrux already." He points at the necklace on Ron's neck.
"Yeah, and we're about as close to getting rid of it as we are to finding the rest of them, aren't we?"
"Ron, please take the horcrux off. You wouldn't be saying all this if you weren't wearing it all day." Hermione begs.
"Do you want to know why I listen to that radio every night, do you? To make sure I don't hear Ginny's name or Fred or George or Mum."
"What, you think Im not listening too?! You don't think I know how this feels-
"You don't know how this feels! Your parents are dead. Jade is dead. You have no family." Ron yells and Harry runs at him.
...
The next morning Hermione and Harry apparate to a new spot, with out Ron.
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
"Morning, what's going on in that head of yours?" Bronte asks as I sit down for Breakfast.
"I need to help. I feel like a terrible person. I've been hiding out here for months while people are out risking their lives or dying . I need to find Harry, and explain everything."
She sighs, "You're right. The longer you wait around here, the longer this will go on for."
"I don't even know where they'll be, or how they'll react."
"Well you better start sooner rather then later."
"Yeah...yeah, good idea. It'll be fine. It'll all work out." I try to convince myself.
"Of course it will dear, now stop procrastinating and go find that boy." She pushes me out the door. "Oh, and stay safe. No more fake deaths or real deaths!"
"Yes m'am." I salute before aparating.
...
I've been searching for hours, still no sign of the Golden trio. I decide it's best to take a break before I hurt myself from all this aparating. Im about to sit down when I hear something, I turn to face Scabior, a death eater. "Hello, beautiful. I thought you were dead."
"Surprise." I grin, stepping back but knock into another Death Eater
"We got one more stop before the Ministry." He grabs me and we disaparate. I look around and see no other than the golden trio, no way.
They start to run, "Well don't just stand there. Snatch'em" I hear Scabior yell.
I get dragged through the forest, and eventually we join the others, who've been caught.
The death eater pushes me to someone else, I look up it's Greyback, "Aww can't I have someone else please." I moan, everyone snaps the head in my direction. The three of them look shocked.
But Ron get distracted as Hermione gets grabbed "Don't touch her!" he yells. Thankfully this causes Greyback to drop me and go control Ron.
"Your boyfriend'll get much worse then that... if he doesn't learn to behave himself." Scabior walks up to us,"What happened to you ugly?" He looks at Harry. "No, not you." he points at Greyback and I sniffle a laugh, the death Eater holding me tightens his grip. "Relax. I was just laughing." I tell him
"What's your name?" Scabior asks Harry.
"Dudley. Vernon Dudley." Harry replies as they take his wand off him.
"And you, my lovely." He goes over to Hermione. "What do they call you?"
"Penelope Clearwater, half-blood."
He then comes over to me, I cringe as he strokes my face, "Recognise any of these people, Darling?" I shake my head.
"There's no Vernon Dudley on here." A death eater calls out.
"Did you hear that, ugly? The list says you're lying. How come you don't want us to know who you are?"
"The list's wrong. I told you who I am." Harry replies, Scabior leaves me and goes over to him.
"Change of plan. We're not taking this lot to the Ministry."
...
We ended up outside Malfoy Manor, I relax slightly. Scabior holds Harry as I walk next to Hermione, "Give me your wand."
"What?" She looks at me confused.
"Your wand... you jinxed Harry, they'll find out." I hold mine out, and she hesitantly swaps wands Just before Bellatrix appears on the other side of the gate. Scabior pushes Harry up and shows her the scar.
"Get Draco." I hear her whisper, and my heart flutters slightly. It's been months.
As the other get dragged into one of the main rooms, Scabior pulls me to the side. "What are you doing?" I glare at him.
"Well while they're occupied with your brother, I thought we'd have a little alone time, how's that sound darling?"
I gag as his face practically touches mine, he runs his knife across my jaw as his other hand roams my body. He's about to make his was under my top when I grab his wrists and a bolt of electricity rushes through me. I watch as Scabior screams out in pain, the knife cuts my lip in the process.
"Oh you don't wan't to mess with me" I yell loud enough in hopes everyone would here me, before walking away from him.
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
"Well?" Bellatrix asks, holding Harry by the head.
"I can't be sure."
"Draco, look, closely, son." Lucius whispers. "If we are the ones to hand Potter over to the Dark Lord, everything would be forgiven. All would be as it was, you understand?
"Now we won't be forgetting who actually caught him." Greyback grunts, "Isn't that right Scabior?" Everyone looks around, "Scabior?"
A scream echoes through the Manor, ""Oh you don't want to mess with me!"
"Hold still. Get back here, you will be sorry you little bitch."
The door slams open and everyone looks up in shock.
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
As I open the door my eyes land on Draco. I feel Scabior approach behind me.
"Sorry about her, she's a runner." He grabs my wrists.
"I'll do it again" I warn, trying to move against his grip.
"Don't touch her." I look up as Draco calls out, no longer paying attention to Harry.
"I thought she was dead?" Bellatrix looks up.
"What is she doing here?" Narcissa asks.
"Nope, not dead. Picked her up just before that lot, as I said she's a runner. Just went to get her-"
"Liar." I kick his shin and he points his wand at my neck. "Do it i dare you."
He pushes me to the floor, "Crucio!"
I smile, looking over at Draco who just shakes his head. The others either looked confused or concerned.
I stand up, dusting my hands. "Right, my turn."
"That won't be necessary Jade. " Lucius comes over leading me away.
"No fun. " I grumble
"Draco, come over." Bellatrix whisper to Draco, getting his attention again. "Now, if this isn't who we think it is, Draco, and we call him, he'll kill us all. We need to be absolutely sure."
"What's wrong with his face?" Draco asks.
"Yes, what is wrong with his face?"
"He came to us like that." Scabior states. "Something he picked up in the forest, I reckon."
"Or ran into a stinging jinx. Was it you, dearie?" Bellatrix points her wand at Hermione. "Give me her wand, we'll see what her last spell was."
Narcissa goes over to Draco, leaving Harry on the floor and they walk back over. "Hey" I smile but Lucius holds his arm out, "Not now."
"No? Who else- Jade! " Bellatrix yells. "Your wand." I hand it to her. "Got you!" She laughs. "Thought you could protect your brother-What is that? Where'd you get that from?" she gets distracted, looking at a Snatcher with the sword.
"It was in her bag when we searched her. Reckon it's mine now." .
Bellatrix starts to attack all the snatchers, Narcissa point her wand at Ron and Hermione, while holding my arm, to keep me still.
"Are you mad?" Scabior yells out, I laugh watching Bellatrix attack him. "Go! Get out!" She screams. "Cissy... Put the boys in the cellar! I want to have a little conversation with this one." She grabs Hermione. No. "Girl to girl!"
As Narcissa grabs the boys im left standing in the hall unattended, when I feel someone hold my hand. I jump slightly, looking behind me but it was just Draco. He looks ahead but pulls me against his chest.
"That sword is meant to be in my vault at Gringotts." Bellatrix hisses kneeling over Hermione who's laid on the floor, crying "How did you get it? What else did you and your friends take from my vault?!" She yells. I step forward but Draco's grip tightens around my waist.
"I didn't take anything. Please. I didn't take anything!" Hermione cries.
"I don't believe it." Bellatrix whisper and Hermione starts screaming.
"Draco I have to-" I try to get out of his grip.
"Please, Please!" Hermione screams.
"Stop!" I yell "Bellatrix, stop! She didn't take it.""
"Shut up!" Bella points her wand at me.
"I took it."
She walks over to me, ripping me out of Draco's grasp. "How did you get it?"
"With ease. " I smirk, and she slaps me just as Griphook is brought up from the cellar. Clearly not believing me, she pushes me back to Draco and goes to interrogate the goblin.
Draco spins me around so im looking at him, he runs his finger across my lips as he inspects the rest of my face. "Are you hurt?" He whispers and I shake my head. Draco smiles slightly, and is about to lean down when Ron and Harry run upstairs.
"Like hell...Expelliarmus!"
Draco lets go of me, turning his attention to Harry. I watch as they all fire spells at each until Bellatrix yells out, "Stop." She has a knife against Hermione's throat. "Drop your wands. I said, drop 'em.... pick them up, Draco, now!"
I watch Draco scramble to get them before discreetly handing me mine. "Well, well, well. Look what we have here. It's Harry Potter. He's all bright and shiny and new again, just in time for the Dark Lord. Call him. Call him!"
Lucius lift up his sleeve. I look over at Draco who looks terrified. I step closer to him as the sound of squeaking can be heard from above, and we all look up. It was Dobby, he was unscrewing the chandelier. It eventually drops on to Bellatrix, causing her to push Hermione away and then chaos unfolds. While Ron grabs Hermione, Harry snatches the wands off Draco. Bellatrix is yelling at Dobby and Harry watches me cautiously. I ignore him, going over to Draco, I grab his facing pressing my lips against him. "Trust me?" Draco nods. "Good." I grab his arm and disaparate.
