The Voice From The Forest
Draco ignored the curious stares aimed in his direction as he made his way to Severus’s classroom. Bursting through the door he looked around for the only person who had always been there for him. He was the only person who he could always go to.
“Mr. Malfoy is everything okay?” Professor Slughorn turned to him with concern and Draco collapsed on the floor in uncontrollable sobs.
Severus was dead. Now he had no one. He had nothing! Wiping his tears with the sleeve of his robe he looked away. Pushing himself off the floor he looked away from Slughorn who gave him a concerned glance.
Giving the older man an apologetic look he walked out of class room. His feet moved on their own as he walked passed people a couple who might have called to him but he didn’t notice. The sun hid behind clouds and he made his way towards the edge of the forest.
Hello
A voice rang out to him. Deep and warm from the depths of the forbidden forest. His heart raced in his chest and he found his mind fogging up. He legs moved on their own and soon he was making his way towards the depths of the forest. He’d always been scared of the forest ever since he and Potter had been attacked by something on their first year.
Still he couldn’t stop himself and soon he felt branches scratch at his skin the deeper he got into the forest. His brain told him to stop but he couldn’t.
Come closer!
I can’t wait to see you.
Let me help you.
The voice rang in his head filling him with warmth in his chest and he ran faster and faster. Stumbling through rocks and dead logs. He ignored the ripping of his clean robes and he made his way into the deepest darkest parts of the forest.
Finally he reached a clearing. He heard hissing sound all around him and he felt as if someone were watching him. Looked down on the ground his skin shivered as he spotted dozens of spiders all around him.
Instantly he pulled out his wand in fear. He’d heard rumors of giant spiders living deep within the forest.
“There’s no need for that.” He turned to a young man smiling at him. Dressed in long dark silk robes he seemed to float off the ground as he made his way towards Draco.
“I could sense you’re pain all the way from here. You’re agony, you sense of loss.”
Who are you Thought Draco.
The young man gave him a smile before holding out a pale hand. Seemingly about to read Draco’s mind.
“Hello, my name is Kisei.”
What do you want from me?
”All I want is to help you. To ease the pain you feel inside.” The young man stood in front of Draco hunger in his dark brown eyes. “Just say the word and I take all your pain. I will ease your suffering.”
“Yes.” The young man smiled a smile that both frightened and enchanted Draco. He gripped Draco’s arms and leaned forwards placing a kiss on Draco’s lips.
