Chapitre 79: Veritaserum.
"So how did you get the Dragon blood?" Elanor asked as they settled in their new hiding spot.
"None of your concern," Draco said taking a bunch of food and woods out of his suitcase as he started a fire with his wand. "Want some?" he said handing over some cooked meat that he just heated up.
Elanor nodded and grabbed a piece of meat. "So how did you arrive here?"
"Long story short, I was attacked and I escaped with the man you killed and I arrived here." Draco casually said.
"Hmph! If you don't want to say it then don't and the man you came here with was already dead." Elanor snorted, "So where are you going?"
"Umbra forest, you know the place?" Draco asked.
"It's my kin- I mean my home," Elanor said.
"Really?" Draco asked with a bit of hope in his eyes. Seeing the sudden enthusiasm of Draco, Elanor nodded hurriedly.
"Yeah, why are you heading there?"
"I need to meet a friend." Draco said quickly taking out a map, "How well do you know the forest?"
"Very well."
"How many wizards settlements are there?" Draco asked ready to note any important information.
"Wizards?" Elanor laughed, "There are no wizards in there, only vampires."
Draco looked at her in surprise, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I know the place very well." Elanor said, "Ever since I was young, I wanted to travel to different place but my father wouldn't allow me to step foot outside the forest so I hung around the forest. I know every shortcut and way there, so believe me...there isn't any wizard settlement there-- In fact, you are the first young wizard, I have seen. Since only some old wizards visit our place from time to time."
Draco nodded, noting down the facts. "So are there any abandoned places far away from your settlements?"
"Abandoned places?" Elanor asked tilting her head, "There are 2, but why do you need them?"
"2... Can you lead me there?" Draco said.
"Can you tell me why first?"
"You know I saved you from those Veela's right, so consider you not asking anything back a part of a new deal." Draco said making Elanor pout.
"Fine! I won't ask you." Elanor said, "One of the old abandoned building is our old mansion and the other one is an old farmhouse."
"How far apart are they?"
"Not too far away from each other." Elanor said, "It will take us more than a day if we want to reach the place, so it's better if we take some rest."
"More than a day?" Draco frowned slightly, "We can use brooms, Since you know the way, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Brooms?"
"Flying brooms haven't you heard of it?"
"Oh, you mean like flying carpets." Elanor said, "I at least know that."
Draco shook his head weirdly taking out two sleeping bags from his suitcase, "We will move out tomorrow morning."
Elanor nodded taking one of the sleeping bags, she flipped it around not knowing how to use it. Draco rolled his eyes and taught her how and she snuggled inside the bag cozily. "It's really comfortable." she said.
"It is."
"Are all wizard items like that?"
"Yes."
"How brilliant," Elanor said appreciating the sleeping bag. "You could take it anywhere you want and still sleep properly."
Draco looked weirdly at her wondering if something was wrong with her head, "Elanor, how old are you?"
"Don't you know that it's rude to ask a lady's age." Elanor said, "But I will tell you if you tell me yours."
"I am 12."
"Really?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Nothing, it's just that my guess wasn't that far off." Elanor laughed, "I am 17 by the way."
"I see." Draco nodded, he too guessed her age was similar to that since they age like humans and aren't immortals like, in myths, so it wasn't hard to guess. "What are you doing in this forest by the way? and why are those veela's chasing you so badly?"
"I wanted to complete a deal that was held a long time ago." Elanor said vaguely, "And I came here in this forest to complete that deal."
"Just a deal?"
"Hey, no questions remember."
"Che, I wonder how you came here." Draco said, "Considering how childish you are, I am surprised you manage to come so far away from your home."
"Who are you calling childish?" Elanor snorted, "Do you think I wouldn't kill you?"
"I believe you will." Draco said, "Which surprises me even more considering how you are so open about killing, I am surprised you can still act so cu-- naive."
"You were about to say cute right?" Eleanor grinned.
"No, I wasn't."
"Hahaha... It's really funny considering you were the one said it." Elanor laughed, "Maybe it's because you grew up differently, for me killing isn't a new thing, My siblings tell me that I am slightly naive as well since I tend to do stupid things for stupid reasons. Do you have any siblings?"
"I have two actually." Draco said smiling, "They are twins. How many do you have?"
"I have twins in my family as well." Elanor said, "I have around 40."
Draco nearly choked when he heard her, "40? isn't that a little too much?"
"Is it?" Elanor asked naively.
Draco remembering that she was an alien didn't say anything back.
"Hey tell me about the wizarding community, I want to know more," Elanor asked.
"We can talk all day tomorrow since I am guessing there isn't going to be anything fun to do in the journey." Draco said, "Go to sleep."
Elanor pouted not getting her answers as she stared at Draco who was trying to sleep, 'What makes you so special?' She thought. She remembered everything that happened today and can't help but feel complicated in her heart, He saved her both times when she thought that she was going to die. He always appeared out of nowhere saving her. She never felt like this before, especially for someone so much younger than her. She wanted to tell him everything and wanted to know everything about him as well. She shook her head, 'It's just a deal and you will be free of it.' she thought trying to sleep as well.
Draco was, on the other hand, considering other things, 'Looks like the potions don't work too well on vampires but at least I can tell she didn't lie to me.' Early on Draco had mixed Veritaserum with the dragon blood to know her intentions, and due to the correct timing, she didn't figure it out and drank the blood right away.
If Elanor were to listen to Draco's thought right now, she would be very angry.
--------------------------------------------
Next morning both of them woke up and after some quick breakfast, they quickly headed out. At first, she was having slight trouble with the broom but she quickly got the hang of it.
"This is really fun." She said,
"You can keep it if you want to." Draco lazily said, keeping his head in his book trying to learn a useful spell.
"Really?" Elanor asked with her red eye's shining brightly, he pales and lean figure and her beautiful face made her almost irresistible to most men. Draco tried to ignore her hiding his face behind his book. "You can take it, but you need to help me with something."
"I knew you wouldn't give it to me out of kindness." Elanor snorted, "What do you want?"
"A bit of help." Draco said, "You see, I have an enemy waiting for me down at the Umbra forest and I can really use an extra hand."
After finding out last night that her intentions weren't bad, Draco decides to ask for help since she knew the in and out of the forest as it was home, having her with him would be really useful.
"Really?"
Draco looked at her with an annoyed expression, "Well, who is it?" She asked taking him a bit seriously.
"The one who gave me all these scars." Draco said with a hint of rage in his voice.
Elanor looked at him, "It's really impossible since no wizards are allowed without any permission inside the forest."
Draco was shocked by the information but shook his head, "This is the only clue I have and from what I know he wants to lure me in there. There is someone powerful with him as well so maybe he got in with force."
Elanor looked deeply at Draco as she secretly sent a bat flying with a letter attached in its feet away to the direction they were heading at.
