Draco became nervous, he gripped his sword tightly. He tried to remember what he could from the book he read, as he readied his stance.
The man grinned and started rushing towards him, he took a huge leap and swung his swords at him.
“Mistress is this really necessary?” One of the girls asked.
“He seems to be from a foreign country and right now we are in the midst of war, so we can’t foolishly trust anyone.” Abilene said
“But he is just a little boy!” The other girl said looking back.
“Do you really believe a normal young boy with a sword can enter into the Abyssal without even a single scratch on him.” Abiliene said.
Both of the girls became silent, they themselves knew how horrific can getting through the first part of the Abyssal can be, so they didn’t say anything further and just turned their heads to look back at what was happening.
The man grinned and started rushing towards him, he took a huge leap and swung his swords at Draco. Draco hurriedly tried to block the attack with his sword but he was sent flying back, crashing on the wall of the cave. Draco trying to bear the pain, coughed some blood.
“You talk big but you really got nothing kid.” The man said slowly walking towards Draco, “Even if it was luck, I do commend you on the fact that you were able to block my strike.”
“You piece of shit!” A voice sounded out but it wasn’t Draco’s.
The man stopped in his track feeling the cold chilly air around him, Abilene turned back feeling a cold chill on her spine.
Draco’s hair was changing as it kept growing longer till it stopped after reaching more than shoulder length, the sword in his hand, started getting larger as well and was shining differently.
The man sensed danger as he stepped back a little.
Draco slowly stood up, the whole air around him was completely different as if he was a completely different person. He looked at the man with anger filled eyes as if he was going to tear him apart any second and pointed his sword at him.
“You filthy Mongrel. How dare you touch me?” Draco said with a voice filled with arrogance and rage.
The man tried to calm down as he readied himself for a fight.
Draco unexpectedly quickly dashed over and swung his swords at him, the man barely managed to block the attack with his sword but he was slightly pushed away by the force. Before he could even counter-attack, Draco was already throwing barrage of attacks at him.
Even though Draco’s attack was more random and unskilled, the man was still having a hard time blocking his attack. Within a blink of an eye, the man had several cuts in his body with his armor seriously dented in some place. Draco who still looked like a wild animal, wasn’t stopping his attack, suddenly Draco felt a bit of pain in his back. He looked back to see Abadan with his sword stabbing him in his back, grinning at him.
Abadan was first surprised to see Draco going crazy but after calming down he cleverly went behind him and stabbed him, in hopes that this crazy kid would stop. Seeing Draco finally stopping he grinned,
“No matter how crazy you act, you are still a kid.” Abadan said.
Draco stood still for sometime as he turned his head back to Abadan and said, “You piece of shit! Do you think I will let you kill me every fucking time!”
Draco stabbed the man in front of him with his sword right through his brains as he ran forward making the sword slip out from his back, He turned around to look at Abadan and jumped at him. Abadan unlike the previous guy was more ready to face Draco who keep attacking without caring for any wounds in his body.
Abadan felt scared, for the first time in his life he felt scared of a kid.
Abilene seeing the situation quickly took out a staff and started chanting some sort of mantra, and shot couple of fireballs at Draco but to her surprise Draco kicked Abadan in his face as he turned back and absorbed all the attacks in his sword,
“You bitch, do you think you can kill me.” Draco roared throwing the attacks back her from the sword.
“Impossible.” Abilene muttered, A enchanted sword that could absorb and throw attacks were extremely rare, as far as she knew only 8 treasures similar to that existed.
Abilene tried to cast a shield spell but the speed of attack was too fast, The two girls at her side quickly went over and took the shot for their mistress. The fireball attack was very powerful as it managed to blast off all their inner organs out. Abilene in shock quickly went over to her maids as she tried to heal them with magic.
On the other side, Draco who launched the attack didn’t even bother to look back and kept fighting Abadan. Abadan who was trying hardest to counter-attack was shocked by the noise of the explosion to find his companions now dead but before he could say anything the whole world seemed upside down. Abadan got confused as he tried to look back only to see his headless body slouching on the ground, soon his vision started to turn blurry and it was nothing but darkness now.
Draco turned over and walked slowly dragging one of his foot towards the Abilene, the whole adrenaline rush was ending and the pain was starting to take over.
Abilene looked at Draco with anger clearly written on her face.
“Draco Black, I will remember that name.” She said quickly taking out a red parchment and poof! she was gone.
Draco sighed in relief as he started to gain control of his body back and slowly everything turned blurry and it was dark again.
Draco woke up back in his bed sweating and breathing heavily. He looked at the Gryffindor’s sword in his hand which had returned to normal again. Draco calmed down after drinking some water and went inside his suitcase.
“What the hell was that!” Draco said to himself, “I wasn’t myself anymore.”
Like the previous dream, everything felt like a movie to Draco but this time it was completely different. Previously he had control of his own body until towards the end when the bandit stabbed him, but this time it happened early on. Draco felt as if someone had taken control of his body and was controlling him, without him noticing. Draco felt power for the first time in his life, the power which coursed through his veins giving him unlimited strength. It felt amazing at the same time he felt scared, scared that he wasn’t himself anymore as he kept losing his emotions.
Draco went over and threw the sword back in the room and walked out. Today he will return back to Hogwarts, so he needed to get ready.
“What happened Draco?” Narcissa asked looking at Draco strangely.
“What is it?” Draco asked, “Did I get a pimple on my face or something?”
“No, its your hair.” Narcissa said walking over, “It’s way too long than yesterday.”
Draco finally realizing, looked at himself in the mirror with shock, his hair was longer than before and similar to the one he had in his dream.
“Maybe my magic went out of control.” Draco said, “I had a nightmare today, which could be the cause.”
“Are you okay?” Narcissa asked
“I am fine.” Draco replied reassuring her with a smile. Narcissa nodded and didn’t ask any question since growing hair and other stuff happening out of control wasn’t a new topic in the wizarding community, especially to young wizards.
“Do you want to cut it?” Narcissa asked. Draco thought for a second and nodded. “Let’s got to Diagon Alley then.”
After a couple of hours of preparation, Draco was ready to board the train back to Hogwarts. Like before Draco and his friends sat on the same compartment back to Hogwarts. This time Hermione, Cho and a few Slytherin students weren’t around to be seen so Draco concluded that they took yesterday’s train. After hours of riding they finally came back to Hogwarts, since Draco wasn’t feeling too well he went straight to the bed without attending dinner.
Next Morning Draco woke up lazily, he looked around to find Theodore wasn’t in his bed. Draco went over and quickly took a shower and went outside, the Common room was filled with the first year students discussing somethings. Draco walked over towards his friends and sat on the couch.
“What’s going on?” He asked.
“Oh! Draco you are finally awake.” Millicient said. “We were all discussing today’s newspaper.”
“Things are getting weirder and weirder.” Daphne said snorting, “First they call you a dark lord and now they are doing the same to Potter as well.”
“Oh! What happened?” Draco asked curiously.
“Look!” Pansy said passing the newspaper to Draco,
Draco quickly read over the article, the article focused on speculating how Harry survived the night of the attack, claiming only powerful dark wizards can survive the killing curse and Harry being a powerful one at that. It was similar to Draco’s yesterdays news but it was more fictional this time and again the writer was none other than Rita Skeeter.
“I am surprised people actually believe her.” Draco said putting the newspaper on the table.
“Yeah! yesterday on the dinner table everyone was kind of keeping a distance from Potter.” Pansy said, “And everyone was whispering weird rumors about you as well, especially those filthy mud bloods who were claiming that you threatened them before.”
Draco went over and started caressing Pansy’s hair. “It’s only weird rumors, no need to get so angry.”
“But those blood-traitors and mud bloods were joining their hands, throwing insults at you.” Daphne said pouting.
Draco sighed and reached over Daphne with another hand and started caressing her hair too.
Everyone was looking at them weirdly, Theodore rolled his eyes, “It was none other than those Hufflepuff guys.”
“I see.” Draco said snorting, “People really try to kick you when you are down.”
“What are we going to do about it?” Pansy asked smirking, yesterday if it wasn’t for Theodore she would have really punched those guys.
“We will see.” Draco said, “Right now, I am in a delicate place. One wrong move and I will fall deeper into the suspicion of being the next dark lord.”
“Exactly.” Theodore said, “And the more suspicion against you means more eyes on you as well, which will be kind of a bother.”
Draco nodded.
“So do we just let them go?” Blaise asked.
“No! we can get them anytime we want, but it should be in a place where no one else sees us.” Draco said.
“How about that place, with the mirror.” Daphne suggested.
Draco shook his head, “I tried to go to that room again but couldn’t find it.” Draco said honestly, Since Draco was interested in The Room of Requirement he tried to search for it again but couldn’t have the room come out.
“What do you mean?” Theodore asked. “The room just disappeared?”
“I think so.” Draco said, “Remember Cho told us that she had never been in this room before?”
Everyone nodded. “I think the room appears and disappears on its own and that day someone had opened it for us.”
“Someone? Who?” Pansy asked
Draco shrugged his shoulders, “Maybe I am reading too much into it, but it was opened there by someone. Maybe they had something to do with the mirror or they wanted us to go in there.”
Draco knew the room of requirement showed up whenever someone wanted something but that day they were just strolling around, Draco was sure that no one was looking for a place to hide.
“What are you talking about?” Blaise and Millicient asked.
“Oh you guys weren’t there, right?” Daphne asked and started explaining the situation to them.
