Any further comment that Tracey was about to make was interrupted when the door slowly creaked open, and a hooded figure slid in.
'Useless Mudblood!'
'She has no friends, what a loser!'
'How did you even get into Gryffindor?'
'You will never amount to anything!'
'Second place again, what a loser.'
'Why don't you just kill yourself and save us all the annoyance?'
Hermione curled into a ball with a silent sob, noticing that the others were doing much the same. It was like a living nightmare, her insides slowly freezing as her mind began to recycle the worst memories of her life over and over again in a vicious cycle.
The creature closed in, reaching out for them.
Luna whimpered in the corner, while Ginny clung desperately to her. Tracey had reached for her Wand, but had already halted in fear. Finally, Daphne and the remaining girl were trying to hold onto each other for some small amount of support.
Skeletal fingers were inches from her now, preparing to do Merlin-knew-what to her when a male voice interrupted it, "My my, that isn't very nice. Why don't you leave them alone hm?"
The monster turned and glided back from the room and into the hallway, the horrific feelings subsiding slightly as the Magic was focused on a new target.
From her spot on the cushions Hermione could just make out the darkness that filled the newcomer's eyes as the demon turned to face him. Anger rippled across his normally happy features as his voice seemed to fill existence itself, "Youdare!? " And then the darkness came. An ocean of pure shadow and power fell over the girls, drowning them in a sea of one man's presence. The bushy-haired head tilted just a bit more for a better view, drawn in like a moth to a flame.
Even in his fury the boy was breathtakingly beautiful.
The bookworm managed to open her eyes just a crack, to watch as Harry Potter faced down the demon, and to her shock the entity withdrew as the boy advanced slowly towards it. A few steps and it was backed into a corner, almost clawing at the wall to escape a mere child.
" Bow" It was not a suggestion, not a question or comment… it was a command. An order given by a King to those who served him, an instruction that could not be ignored.
Despite her soul screaming to follow his will the the girl managed to still herself, and watched on in shock as the Dementor obeyed, and bent down onto one knee, its head dropped in supplication, before the hero.
Harry took another step forward, before reaching out and grabbing the monster's head, focusing its attention onto his own face. "They are mine, tell your kind that should any of them so much as touch what is mine I shall exterminate you from existence. Do you understand? " Amazingly it seemed to nod, before being tossed back onto the ground like a helpless prisoner.
"Get out."
The Dementor fled faster than a professional Golden Snitch. A moment passed before glowing emerald-green eyes turned towards the six girls who still lay prone. "You are all okay?"
"Y-y-y"
He nodded as if in understanding, before turning only to find the rest of his followers in the hallway, bowed down much like the Dementor had been moments prior.
"My Lord…"
For the second time in her recollection Harry Potter almost seemed… annoyed to the bookworm as he stalked past the other Slytherins and down from the corridor he had originated from.
...
"My Lord that was…" Draco's statement finished less than a second later when a hand wrapped around his collar, and threw him into the wall.
" What " Harry growled out, mere inches away from the Malfoy heir's face, "did I say about referring to me like that in public?"
"I-I-I… b-but my Lord they already…"
He was pulled back, before slammed into the wall again, cracking it and earning a cry of pain from the boy. "Does it look like I care about your opinions or excuses Draco?"
"N-no my Lord, a thousand apologies I…" he was released, falling to the ground in a crumpled mess the moment the words left his lips.
The raven-haired teen retook his seat, utterly ignoring the blonde as he tapped his fingers on his knee in thought. "Very unexpected… but I do believe I can use this…" Harry muttered, as he began to go through calculations in his head, plans created and discarded faster than any human could ever hope to do.
"My Lord is there anything I can help with?" Pansy purred as she sat down next to him, not even bothering to hide the desire in her eyes for the teen.
"Hm? Oh yes we were in the middle of something weren't we… well we will just have to continue later Pansy my dear, the mood has been ruined a bit I am afraid."
Although her smile fell slightly the lust did not waiver from her expression as the Parkinson heiress nodded in reluctance.
"I suppose I will need one of you to do something for me though."
"Anything my Lord! Please allow me to redeem myself."
The boy nodded towards his 'second in command' "Very well Draco, I do believe it is time to begin revealing my presence to the world… which means that like those who came before me I am going to need an inner circle…"
