บท 187: Reunion
Draco without wasting any further time went straight towards Ryan's room. Hoping the holder would be there. A holder is a specific jewel used to hold magic, which can be used to power incredibly large and powerful runes. Though Draco had never done any huge rune such as this, he had still studied a lot about ruins and this was his best guess.
No matter how ancient the ruin is, it would still require something to power it and hold the power it collects. Draco, as he was rushing suddenly heard some sounds coming from Ryan's room, as careful as he was Draco was a bit afraid. Maybe the image of a werewolf chasing you down is not the most pleasant memory especially considering he was powerless without magic. Taking deep breaths trying to calm himself down, Draco took out a few exploding potion bottles he had refilled from earlier as he slowly went in for whatever was inside.
Opening the door he looked around to find nothing but then he suddenly heard some whispers coming in from behind the closet. Without warning, he was about to throw the bottles at it but then two people jumped out of it with their hands raised looking a bit panicked.
"Draco it's us!"
To Draco's surprise, it was someone who he hadn't expected to see here. Pansy and Hermione had somehow gotten in Durnmstrang. Draco, though he wanted to rush to them he couldn't let his guard down, not sure if it was another trap of some sort.
"Show me some proof!"
"What's gotten into you, you idiot!" Pansy said as saw the caution in Draco's eyes she had never seen before.
"It's us Draco." Hermione said, "Do you not remember us?"
"I know it's you two but I still need to make sure that it's really you two... I know it doesn't make sense but give me something" Draco said frustratedly not knowing how to explain himself.
Pansy and Hermione looked at one another as Pansy took out a familiar thing from her pocket. A snitch he had given her for Christmas. The snitch came flying towards him as he caught it mid-air. The snitch as he inspected it had the familiar marking D.B . on it which he was sure was unique. He looked at the two of them as his eyes widened further.
"What are you two doing here?" He asked as he was engulfed in a hug by the two girls.
Draco who had missed them for a while now didn't hold back as he hugged the two girls tightly, one in each arm.
"We were worried sick!" Pansy said calming down after a while, "Just as Christmas was over we got the news about a new dark lord in rising as everyone went in a panic frenzy. Then there was this news about Sirius Black escaping and the minister stepping down..."
"Shh!" Draco silenced her as he couldn't completely understand the massive amount of surprising news he was getting. "Calm down and explain to me from the very beginning."
"So two weeks ago, there was an attack on one of the ministry bases and words got around that A new dark lord was rising. Though people were hesitant to believe it at first due to the who thing that happened just during our summer break but the information was leaked that the one behind Pius was the new dark lord himself." Hermione calmly explained, "Then just as things couldn't go crazier, aurors started to go missing and more information relayed over as how the enemy had taken over Durmstrang and their next target was Hogwarts itself. Though Dumbledore assured all the people nothing of that sort would be taking place he still wouldn't disclose any information on you. And just a week ago, the minister was resigned from his seat as the news of Sirius Black escaping leaked as well."
"So Fudge just resigned?"
"Not only that but he... died." Pansy said, "The aurors doubt that he had broken an unbreakable curse and that caused his death but no one knows who to."
"I see... and this 'dark lord' has he shown himself?" Draco asked curiously as he had already begun to put two and two together.
"No, but with so many attacks going around everyone is sure that he's around. Even my father believes so." Pansy said, "Also we tried to contact your parents but we just can't figure out where they are right now."
"They are safe," Draco said resting assured as he thought about how even he had forgotten about it till now and couldn't remember where his own house was. 'Good job father!' He praised Lucious secretly as he looked back at Hermione and Pansy. "So why are you here... though I don't like that man, I am certain he would protect his student from the outside force at least."
"Idiot! As Hermione already said, as soon as we heard that Durmstarng was taken over by enemies we were worried about you, then came the Sirius thing. I mean you took what was supposed to be his so other than Potter I was sure that he would be looking out to hunt you." Pansy said, "I hate to admit it but I ran away from home to find you but then I found Hermione who was doing the same so we gathered together."
"Umm... how did you two get here then."
"I've been learning to drive though it had been a hassle." Pansy said with a smirk shaking the keys in her hand, "You didn't think I was going to let you go after what happened in summer."
"Hermione, I know Pansy could be a bit crazy but you should've been the understanding one." Draco said ignoring Pansy who looked as if she was going to throw a fuss, "It's dangerous here and you running away from home... wouldn't your parents be worried."
"I didn't run away from home... I just got off the train when I saw Pansy." Hermione awkwardly said, "I am sure they don't know and besides the rumors in the train were too scary..."
"Sigh! We will talk about this later but how did you even find this place." Draco said, "It's supposed to be untraceable."
"I was telling her the same thing." Hermione said, "But we saw the school as we were flying above it and apparently we can't use magic here."
"Yeah! That's a long story." Draco said, "How long have you two been here?"
"We just got here as we were checking in the rooms then Hermione found this crystal and we heard you come in. Thinking it was enemy we hid and you know the rest of the story."
"What Crystal?"
"This one." Hermione took out a shining yellow crystal from her pouch. Though not much it was still emitting its light as Draco eye's widened.
"Bloody hell! Good job Hermione." Draco said taking the crystal from her hand and without warning, he directly smashed it on the ground, breaking it into pieces as the shine from it leaked out.
"That was uncalled for," Pansy said sarcastically but Draco wasn't listening as he tried to do his own thing with his wand.
"What's wrong, Draco?" Hermione asked.
"I don't understand this was supposed to work." Draco said flicking his wand but nothing happened, he was still magicless as before and no amount mana he was producing was working. Just as he was thinking what was going on the door suddenly opened...
