84 Who are you?

"Those flames again." Victoria said, seeing the fire rose up from the window. "Father, is that what I think it is?"

"Yes, Dragon flame." Mordred nodded, he was more than familiar with Dragons as they were their source of food sometimes. Mordred himself had fought many Dragons before but not one of them felt close to following orders, Mordred wondered why the Dragon was helping Draco and why wasn't he releasing the Dragon fully but he finally knew why. The Dragon was still small to be used to its full extent. The more he knew about Draco the more he found him interesting, far interesting than any other human he had met before.

-------------------------------------

A moment later the man showed up with Pius, Theodore, and the remaining three wizards. The two awaken people looked at the burnt place in shock, even Pius's face was dark and Draco was nowhere to be seen. They looked at the dead bodies which were their friends before but now they couldn't even be recognized properly. They turned back and looked at Pius,

"That kid is insane." One of them said, "I quit."

"Me too." The other man said, "You can take back all the money you gave me."

"You can quit but you have to quit the knowledge I gave you as well," Pius said arrogantly, "I showed you the true taste of power, and you're telling me that you want to give it all away, he is a 12-year-old kid for Merlin's sake."

"But he isn't that simple." The man shook his head, "He killed everyone in a matter of seconds now all you have left is two people under the imperius curse, one is a kid and the other is an auror similar to the ones that the kid has killed several times before. I read rumors about him being a dark lord but now I know for sure that he is one."

"Yeah, I am sorry, I give up as well." The man said, "You have knowledge about all these spells and formations, so I am sure that you have a spell to erase the memories of all the knowledge you gave us."

"Yes, with your power I am sure you can defeat him alone."

"Idiots." Pius said, "Quitting in the final moment, the kid's already injured and most of his cards are already out in the open, and you are still scared."

The two men stayed silent and didn't say anything sill to wanting to quit.

"Voldemort made it seem much easier..." Pius mumbled, "Expelliramus--Go and kill them." He said to the auror who was under the Imperius curse as he threw the wands of those guys far away.

The two of them looked afraid as the auror chanted, "Avada Kedavra."

Afraid, one of the men quickly pushed the other in front as he died on impact of the curse, the man rushed towards the auror trying to fight for his life, but since the other man was under the Imperius curse he kept fighting like a robot who didn't feel pain.

Suddenly out of nowhere, Draco's voice came out as he jumped from behind the couch, "Confundo."

*Boom* The explosion sounded out as the two people who were fighting were suddenly sent out of the mansion through the wall only to be ripped apart by Fluffy who was still down there.

Pius grinned at Draco, "There you are."

"Expelliramus." Draco chanted but Pius who was completely fine dodged the curse without any problem. Draco who was extremely tired panted.

"You are more interesting than I thought." Pius said, "For bearing only power, you certainly got more knowledgable in no time, guess I am the only one with the disadvantage."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't remember so it's pointless to tell you." Pius said launching a spell as Draco barely dodged it, with his injured leg he wasn't able to move around easily and not to mention he was extremely tired as the past couple of days he has been fighting and traveling with not much proper time to heal.

Draco was panting heavily, all these things were getting more and more confusing, 'What knowledge is he talking about?' Draco thought, Pius according to what he knew from the books shouldn't be so manipulative as he could have gotten out of Voldemort's hand easily, if this was the case and the thing he said just before kept bugging Draco, 'How the hell does he know how Voldemort does his work, he wasn't a death eater nor was he in the order of Pheonix to know how Voldemort worked.'

"What are you thinking, dear Draco?" Pius asked grinning madly. "Ah! look at your face full of scars, I am sure your friends and parents will be shocked when they see you again, maybe they will be happy that you fought bravely or they will be disgusted by your face. Humans right? So difficult to understand them."

"Who are you?"

"Smart!" Pius said launching another spell as he tied up Draco in a rope. His wand fell down. "Interesting suitcase you have got there but where is it?"

Pius searched around but he couldn't find anything, "Did you lose it?" He asked Draco who was struggling to get out of the rope.

"Who are you?" Draco asked again, "You aren't Pius but you don't seem to be under the curse as well."

"Oh! Believe me when I say that you will know soon." Pius said pointing his wand towards Theodore, "But first tell me where your suitcase is or your friend here dies. Don't worry I just want a quick look."

Draco gritted his teeth angrily, "Do you think I won't hunt you down and kill you?"

"I believe so." Pius said, "Now quick." He said waving his wand as Theodore fell on the ground screaming in pain.

"Stop!" Draco yelled, "It's underneath the cushion."

Pius smiled happily, "See it wasn't that hard was it."

He said walking towards the sofa but as soon as he picked it up, the murtlap jumped towards Pius, as it bit his nose. Pius struggled to get the murtlap out pushing it away only to be left with a scraped bleeding nose, The murtlap quickly bit his hand as it was trying to escape from him causing his wand to drop. As soon as the wand was released from his hand, the grip on the rope loosened and Draco quickly got out of it. "Accio" He chanted getting Pius's wand.

Now it was Draco turn to bind Pius as he tied him up in a similar way struggling to stand up, he said, "You are clever I admit that but you overthink simple things."

"I tend to do that sometimes." Pius said without a trace of worry in his voice, "I try to have a bit of faith in humanity but it always turns out to be disappointing."

"Diffindo-" Draco said cutting one of Pius' fingers off. Pius yelled in pain but the disgusting smile on his face didn't waver. "Who are you?"

"What are you going to do next? Chop my arm off?" Pius grinned.

But to his surprise Draco grinned as well launching several severing charms, again and again, bit by bit slicing Pius's arm completely as he kept yelling in pain.

"Like me have you lost it as well." Pius asked in tears. The pain was driving him nuts.

"Who are you?" Draco asked again but he didn't get any response, as Draco tried to cast another charm, Theodore suddenly jumped at him pushing him away.

'Shit.' Draco thought as had completely forgotten about Theodore, still being under Pius's control.

"No." Pius yelled but he crazily shook his head once again, he looked at them sweating, shaking his head again and again "Trash him Theodore-- Get out!-- Don't kill him but you can do whatever you want."
