Chereads / The Third Dark Lord / Chapter 10 - Brothers

Chapter 10 - Brothers

After the exciting Potions class, the days at school passed in a monotonous and repetitive way. Dantalion has decided to contract in specific disciplines, portions, sorcery and transfiguration are his focus, astronomy class, herbology and Flight, are superficial for him, on Defense Against the Dark Arts, he will decide after the first class.

As for OWL and NEWT, he thinks about it when the time comes, Dantalion is only sure of one thing at the moment, one thing he is sure of is that to protect his family he must have enough strength to defeat the Dark Lord!

In Slytherin if you are strong, you are admired by the members of the house, and the most important thing is to have a good relationship with the students, when doing their homework, many times the freshmen came to Dantalion to clarify doubts, and he didn't hesitate to help , but his homework was only loaned to Draco.

At the same time as becoming popular in Slytherin, Dantalion will also be challenged by some people, for example, a little lioness from Grigino. Hermione seems to have figured out that the biggest obstacle to becoming the best of the fledglings was the Slytherin boy, so she was determined to overcome him, not only answering questions in class, but also observing how he learned so quickly, like this, whenever Dantalion went to the library, he watched what he read, however he soon realized that it was useless.

As for friends, Dantalion walked with Daphene, Tracey and Blasio Zambine, the four started doing their homework together, after a while they started to eat together and soon formed the Slytherin quartet.

Flying classes started on Thursday, along with Gryffindor, the teacher responsible for the course was Mrs. Rolanda Hooch, she had short gray hair and a pair of yellow eyes, which was very reminiscent of an eagle, after everyone took the brooms, she spoke loudly "Okay, as soon as I whistle, you must carefully kick the ground, hold the broom firmly, lift a few meters and then lean slightly forward, vertically, one turn and return to the ground, listen for the whistle, three, Two, ...."

However, Neville was very nervous, so he didn't wait for Mrs. Hooch then kicked the ground hard and flew at speed upwards. "Come back boy!" the teacher screamed, but Neville kept climbing, reaching 20 feet, Neville looked down at the ground below with a horrified face, gasping and feeling that his strength was gone, he started to slide off the broom.

Dantalion used the levitation spell on Neville's clothes, letting him slow down in time, landing safely, the broom however continued to rise and then flew slowly towards the forbidden forest.

The teacher bent down and looked at Neville, her face as pale as the boy's, she turned and said to the other students "I'm sending you to the nurse's office for an exam, none of you can move! Put the brooms back where they belong, and Slytherin plus twenty points for helping a student, congratulations Mr. Malfoy, come on Mr. Longbottom."

After Mrs. Hooch and Neville left, Draco picked up the memory ball lying on the grass, he lifted the ball and said "You could see his face, maybe if the fat guy had pressed that he would remember how to fly!"

"Give it to me Malfoy" Harry said, everyone stopped talking and took in the situation.

Draco smirked "I'll put it down and let Longbottom get it, in a tree how about??"

"Give it to me!" yelled Harry, but Draco jumped onto his broom and took off, flying up to a height where he yelled, "Come and get Potter!"

Harry picked up his broom "No" Hermione said "Mrs. Hooch told us not to move, you're going to cause trouble for all of us" Harry ignored her, he mounted his broom and pushed himself hard, air blew through his hair and his cloak billowed out behind him, he heard a subdued ecstasy in his heart and he figured he found something he liked, Harry sped towards Draco.

"Neville's ball is flying!" said one of the students, the ball that was previously in Draco's hand flew to Dantalion's hand "Who is Neville's roommate? Can you help me return this to him?"

Ron stood up angrily "I am, Harry and I are" Dantalion threw the cake to Ron who didn't expect the Slytherin to really return it, failing to react to it in time the cake almost fell again but the boy managed to hold it in a hurry, the Slytherins nearby started to laugh at Ron, who turned red.

Dantalion ignored the commotion and looked at the two people who were still in the air and said indifferently "Down"

Professor McGonagall approached, she deducted ten points from both houses, and sent the students back to the castle. Unlike the original book, Harry missed out on becoming the youngest Quidditch player in Hogwarts history.

Dantalion waited for his brother and the two looked at each other, understanding that the youngest wanted to talk Draco followed him, the two reached the Slytherin common room, seeing that there were students studying, talking and playing, the twins went to Draco's room, closing the door, the conversation began.

"why did you help them?" said Draco stressed.

"You are the future Lord Malfoy! You must act like it! You know that the Longbottoms are members of the sacred 28, on top of that Neville is the only heir of the family" Dantalion said seriously "Draco you must grow up, this family you can be rich, have status, but without contacts or social circle we have no influence, you got it?"

"I see, I was just stressed, but you are my brother, we shouldn't have disagreements in front of others!" Draco looked seriously at the youngest.

"You're right, I won't meddle in your affairs again, but if it's something that reflects on the family or the prestige of the Malfoy name I will," he said, looking fixedly at his older brother.

" Sure, you always have to be the perfect one! You don't want to spoil your image!" Draco said angrily.

"Draco" sighing Dantalion approached his brother "my image doesn't matter to me, your image and that of the family is what matters to me, no matter what you do, I as your brother will be there to help you, clean up the mess or defend you! We were born together, we live together and nothing will get in the way of that!" putting his arm on Draco's shoulder and looking into his eyes the boy said seriously "You will be Lord Malfoy and I will be Minister Malfoy!"

Draco's eyes widened "Minister Malfoy..." Looking at his brother and remembering his capabilities, the brother nodded "So that's your ambition... does father know?"

" No, I decided recently" sighing, Dantalion walks away and sits on the bed " Are we clear then? " Darco approaches, hugs his brother " Yes".
