Description
Draco let out an irritated sigh as he sat on his bed in the Slytherin boy's dormitories. He had been told to go put his things in the Slytherin dormitories and stay there until someone came to talk to him by Dumbledore after Lupin had dragged him up to the old wizard's office and he had been given an accurate explanation of what he had done and what the consequences of the situation were.

His cousin had been called into the office and was greatly surprised by what her ex-boyfriend had explained to her about what Draco had done.

She had tried to talk to him but he just looked away and told her to 'Sod off' which she wasn't to pleased about and had grabbed him by the front of his robes and pushed him up against the wall and told him that he was not to insult her or be so rude towards her.

Draco had didn't listen to her though as he told her that he wished he were dead instead of being here with people who didn't care about him, only 'pretended' to.

Nymphadora had been stunned to hear this and she had let go of him and backed away from him, looked at Lupin who nodded as if confirming something, but Draco didn't know what he was implying but his metamorphagus cousin had shook her head as a tear came from her eye and she covered her mouth and silently but quickly hurried out of the room, seeming quite upset.

Draco scoffed and that was when Dumbledore had told him to go to the dormitories and that someone would be up in a bit to talk to him.

So now Draco found himself alone up in the dormitories sitting on his bed.

He was so confused, he had a feeling that he had done something horrible, and now something bad was going to happen to him. Something not very pleasant.

Draco looked at his night stand and looked at the drawer with a sudden surprised look, he remembered the two potions of Wolfsbane that professor Snape had made him before he had heard the professor's argument with Potter's godfather.

He suddenly got an idea as he thought of a way to 'cure' himself of this vile sickness/curse that had ruined his life.

Perhaps if he rid himself of the problem, his father would take him back and allow him to move back into the manor and he would be able to get his father to love him or be proud of him, if that was at all possible for his father to love and show kind emotion towards his son.

He started to think of what he could do to try and fix this, he finely got a 'perfect' plan that he had no doubt at all that it would work.

He then got a piece of paper and a quill and ink then started to write out his plan to try and plan out if he was sure it would work.

'Brilliant! It's simple! Werewolves are vulnerable to the Silver element, and the Wolfsbane potion helped control werewolves on a full moon transformation, if I mixed a few ingredients together it is sure to fix this cruel curse on my life.' Draco thought to himself with a wide smirk on his face.

He thought of what he could mix with the Wolfsbane potion until finely he realized what he would need.

'Powdered Silver and...Blood-Replenishing potion.' Draco concluded finely, then a frown came upon his face as he realized he wasn't sure if he had any silver powder at the moment, he searched through the drawer some more and his eyes rested on a jar he recognized and he smirked.

"I guess I do..." Draco whispered.

He looked down as he tried to think of a place where no one would be at the moment, then he thought of someplace, figuring that no one would be up there at the moment since it was the first day back at Hogwarts upon getting back from the holidays.

Draco picked up the two potions and the jar of silver powder and opened the door before walking out of the room and down the hall, silently walking to the Astronomy Tower.

When he got up there he closed the door behind him and sat down on the ground where he pulled the container of silver out of the pocket he had hidden them in his robes then placed the Wolfsbane potion and the ground beside him.

Draco uncorked the Wolfsbane potion and then poured some of the Blood-Replenishing potion into it.

Then he opened the container of Silver Dust and measured three-fourths of the container and put it into the mixed potion.

He smirked to himself as he thought of how his life would be after this curse was lifted, he would finely be happy again.

Draco put the vial to his mouth and quickly downed the potion, once he was done drinking the potion he sat there for a little while wondering if it had worked until finely he jerked forward in vomited out blood.

He felt a horrible aching and burning pain inside his chest and stomach as the potion started to tear apart his body from the inside.

He tried to scream but his throat had become hoarse and it hurt to swallow or talk, he collapsed to his hands and knees still vomiting up blood he collapsed completely, lying on the ground blood leaking from his slightly open mouth and nose.

'Merlin...what the bloody hell is happening? This should have worked!' Draco's mind screamed in panic as his body shook violently and small gurgling noises came from the back of his throat, and the young Malfoy lay there, bleeding, dying, alone.

~Hogwarts (Hallways)~

Nymphadora walked the hallway with a quick stride, Remus, Severus, and herself had been sent to look for her cousin, who wasn't in the Slytherin boy's dormitories when Snape had gone up to talk to him, even though they all knew Draco wouldn't be to happy with the head of the Slytherin house's presence in the same room as him.

However they all felt he was the best person who could get to Draco, even if it took a lot of effort to get him to cooperate.

Adrian Pucey, Terence Higgs, Marcus Flint, and Lucian Bole had explained that they had seen their friend leave the common room about an hour ago.

Snape had told the headmaster of Draco's disappearance and the old wizard had reacted calmly by asking her and the two men who had a strong dislike of each other to search for him and make sure he was okay.

So now she was walking the hallway looking for him, as she came across the doorway and stairs of the Astronomy Tower she stopped for a second and stared at the dark flight of stairs, she doubted that her cousin would go up there but with a shrug of her shoulders she decided she'd look just in case.

So she walked up the stairs quietly and finely came to the door of the room that had the ledge with an open window where one could just look out and see the beautiful view of the castle grounds.

The door to that room however was closed, she became curious and put her ear to the door when she thought she heard something from inside, it sounded like choked coughing and sputtering.

Tonks frowned and tried to open the door only to find that the door was locked.

When she heard a sob followed by a small hiccup and her eyes widened as she realized what was behind the door.

She knew just by the person's crying that it was her cousin, only Draco could make those soft miserable hiccups when he cried.

Pulling her wand out of her out of her back pocket she pointed it at the lock on the door.

"Alohomora." she whispered quietly and the door clicked as it unlocked itself, then she pushed the thick, heavy wooden, door open and walked into the room only to meet a gruesome sight that horrified her.

There was Draco lying on his stomach blood blood all over his face especially around his mouth and under his nose, his body was shaking so violently she thought he was having some sort of seizure.

She hurried over and kneeled beside him and picked up the potion vial beside him that was labeled with the word Wolfsbane, then she picked up the container beside the empty vial and gasped in horror as she saw silver dust inside it, and that there was hardly any left in it and it looked like it could hold one full cup of the shredded element.

"Draco...cous you didn't..." She whispered, but Draco didn't answer instead he spat up more blood and continued to convulse harshly.

Nymphadora looked to the door when she heard footsteps echoing through the room, from on the stone floor by through the doorway, she saw Snape standing there with a confused look on his face since he couldn't see who she was kneeling by.

"Snape...he mixed Wolfsbane, Shredded Silver pieces, and I think Blood-Replenishing potion together...I think he drank it too. He's dying! Do something!" She cried.

"HE WHAT!!!" Snape yelled in both anger and fear before quickly walking over to Draco and getting on his knees to look at him.

Draco's eyes set to focus on Snape and he let out a loud miserable moan.

"Shh...it'll be okay Draco..." Severus said quietly.
