Chapter 5
3 days passed and they found the walk spot when Draco got captured, they rested but a bear attacked Narcissa, Draco was still stuck in his werewolf form for an unknown reason but suspected it was the reason for whatever they put in him when he was passed out. Narcissa screamed as the bear lunged at her and bit her arm, her arm was bleeding from the elbow to the hand. Draco lunged at the bear, and bit his scruff, the bear loosened up by his grip by relaxing and dropped. The bear flung Draco and ran out in a panic from defeatment. Draco ran up to his mother worried, his form somehow shrunk as he was worried. Narcissa remembered what the liquid did and if Draco was worried or anxious his form would shrink until it’s at adult hand length. Cissa told him how he could stay in his smaller form, Cissa ripped some of her dress off to cover the wound from bleeding more.
As she rested Draco focused on keeping his smaller form when he wasn’t stressed or anxious. After some hours he got the hang of it and Cissa was fine enough to keep walking now. Draco remembered the path from the spot when he got captured, which they were at right now. Cissa soon heard someone’s voice. It was Lucius and Voldemort, Draco helped Narcissa run by supporting her arm. They eventually reached their house and Cissa knocked on the door and Harry opened it, when he saw Draco he fell into tears, he saw Cissa’s arm and Lucius catching up. When they got in the house, they casted a spell to make it look like they were in a different forest so Lucius would be confused, which he was, he eventually ran back thinking it was a dead end. Narcissa explained Draco’s situation while he was sleeping. Hermione, Pansy, and Blaise, who were very smart when it came to this were thinking with ideas.
“Why not we use Harry’s invisibility cloak and invade the Malfoy Manner and find whatever they put in him, take a sample and try to find an antidote” Hermione suggested, “and what if we got captured, bloody hell, then we’d have to find the way home and we don’t even know how to find the Manner” Blaise said, “Ay, your talking to the person who helped Harry and Ron, they wouldn’t be alive from first year if she didn’t join them” Pansy explained, Luna opened the door “Guys lets go to the Malfoy Manner and try to find an antidote!” Luna said jumping up and down, Hermione smacked her face, while Pansy was trying to hold back her laugh and Blaise just stared at her with annoyance. “Did I ruin something?” Luna asked politely, “No you didn’t!” they all said, “I guess we will go with Mione’s idea” Pansy commented, and Blaise sighed loud enough to wake up the dead “Fine! But don’t blame me if you die!” Blaise exited the room annoyed.
They explained to Cissa and Draco what their plan was and Cissa made a map that would show them the way when they asked where to go, it would show them the path with some light exiting the map and showing them where to go. After packing and asking Harry for the cloak for the mission they finally were halfway there after following the map. “You got the cloak?” Blaise whispered anxiously “Right with me” Hermione took it out, “Lets go, we need to help our friend” Mione commented. They were covered under the cloak and went in from the exploded wall. In Draco’s cell they saw a muzzle and a shock collar on the ground. They all looked at each other practically saying “that’s why he has all those scars...” they kept walking till they found the potion room. They searched and found the liquid, they took a large sample and quickly exited, making sure they didn’t trip or expose themselves.
When they arrived home, they figured out how to make a sample, they also took the syringe they had. After telling Draco the good news they put the antidote in him when he fell asleep so he wouldn’t feel anything. It worked but when he transformed back it was painful because all the pain from the shock collar and everything else affected his human form, in his werewolf form he could take it more than his human form. After calming him down Harry ran up to him and hugged him, “Harry! You’re chocking me!” he squirmed “sorry!!” Harry sad a bit sad, Harry looked at Draco’s neck and saw a line that looked like some spikes, going in a circle on the top and bottom, “What’s on your neck?” he asked, Draco though his mom told him about it, “They put a shock collar on me…” he muttered loud enough for only Harry to hear, his expression turned from worried to shocked, “Where’s my mom?” Draco asked, “Ginny and Luna to her to the medical room at Hogwarts to get her arm fixed” he explained looking down at the floor, “Can I go see her?” Draco asked, he nodded his head and wondered if Draco was still scared of what people would think about his appearance, but at a time like this he probably wouldn’t Harry decided.
When they arrived, the students at the courtyard looked at Draco, but instead of fear, they looked worried as of how long he was gone, it was sort of sweet, since Draco was there for a year as him being afraid of himself, getting kidnapped, escaping, and resting. One of Draco’s old friends ran up and hugged him “Hi Elijah” Draco said his head still facing the infirmary, Elijah never was afraid of him, but he was unsure of how he would act before he left. “Why are you looking at the infirmary?” he asked, “my moms in there” Draco said his ears slowly dropping. Elijah nodded “sorry” he muttered. Soon nurse Mary came out with Narcissa, her arm was wrapped in bandages and some blood stains but overall, it was good.
Draco ran up to her and gave her a hug, he cried a bit as he was scared something would happen. “Hon, can you let go” Cissa spoke a little raspy from her injury, Draco let go and Cissa looked at Harry and Luna, “No hug from you two?” she teased, Luna was staring in space and snapped back, Harry was embarrassed but saw her as a mother, so he went and hugged her. Elijah came “Yo Dray-” he didn’t finish as he saw the wholesome moment and just appreciated it, he left and Nurse Mary helped Cissa to their house to rest, she told Cissa that it might take at least a month to heal from the injury, but it won’t mess up anything. Draco went back to school as he wanted to be safe because he suspected staying at the cloaked house wouldn’t hold for long, and if his mother got captured at least he could save her.
“Welcome new and old students” Professor McGonagall spoke politely “An old student has returned to us, and you all have probably guessed who, but as before, treat everyone the same, even if they have… a unique appearance” she eyed Draco, “You are dismissed” everyone walked out but she told the Golden and Emerald trio to stay, including Luna and Ginny. “I have brought it to my attention you will all need to share a dorm for safety, we have cast a spell on an abandoned room to make the door led to your house. Now, you are dismissed” they all left as someone led them to their dorm. McGonagall spoke to Snape and Dumbledore “Snape I bet he’s with Hermione” Dumbledore argued “No you old man, it with Draco!!” he exclaimed, “Both of you shut up.” McGonagall yowled “Snape is right, he wins the bet. Give him your money Albus” She rolled her eyes, Dumbledore growled as he handed the money to him, Snape smirked and left the room.
