Back to Magic- Chapter 4

Chapter 4- The Right First Step

After running for what seemed like days, they came to rest in a dark cave. Exhausted, stinky, and covered in mud, blood and bruises. The two unlikely people smoothed out a patch of soft dirt to curl up and take a quick nap. They dare not use magic, for they may be tracked down like dogs. If they were found, by either side, they would truly die. The older of the two had killed th only man who ever trusted him.

And the younger man, not even considered an adult, had not fulfilled the one task given him. Therefore, this young man had no will to live. In his mind he has been dead ever since he has gotten his task. It was not a matter of if he was going to die, but when. For him, his time had come. His father is a disgrace, his mother is most likely dead, and he was as good as dead. He knew that his name, that of which use to strike fear into the listeners, would mean nothing in the future. He was the last of his line.

Now, all that the young blonde boy longed to do was take a long warm shower. He longed to be safe at home back in the days when his father took care of everything. Now he was stuck in a dark damp cave with his treacherous teacher who had doomed him to a short existence.

The dark older man spoe, "You are pathetic, not even dead yet and acting as if you are."

It was if the older man had read his thoughts. "Professor, I did not know you were a legitimens," said the young boy.

"Draco, let me tell you this. One can not be a good spy without knowing how to read as well as hide their thoughts," said Snape with his nose stuck up in the air. "I am going to give you a crash course in Occulemcy. It will help you learn that the Dark Lord is not the way to go. Hopefully you are a ounce better then Potter at Occlemency," Snape snapped at Draco.

"Of course, I am better..." That young blonde boy knew that in reality he could not go to the Dark Lord. This was his only chance to give his name a good standing. He did not have to like the people he was working with but it was the best for him and his future. "For I am, Draco Malfoy!"

Unwilling, Draco had been placed on the same side as his school rival. But that did not matter, what mattered was his name. And for this reason the Malfoy name will have honor and pride attached to it connotation instead of fear and pompousness.

Snape shouts "Legitimen."

And the lesson begins.
