"Sorry, Father." Draco apologized since all this could have been stopped if he had listened to Lucius that day in Gringotts but he was too busy trying to run away."It doesn"t matter now." Lucius said shaking his head as they got inside the Ministry"s cars and flew away towards the hotel with Theodore"s and the others. "You might have listened to me if I didn"t order you around previously trying to cage you in. In this, we are both at fault."
Draco didn"t say anything as he looked outside the car window.
"Make sure to thank the families who supported us during this." Lucius reminded Draco.
"Okay." Draco nodded, he was really happy with all the pure-blood families who came to his rescue in the time of need.
"So how are you feeling?" Lucius asked.
"I am fine, the potion surprisingly healed everything even my old scars."
"I am not talking about that." Lucius said, "I am talking about your emotional state since you kill--"
"I am quite fine actually." Draco said sighing, "At first, I felt extremely guilty when the first commotion happened as those blood were in my hand as well, but soon I had to kill with my own hands. Later, I began convincing myself that it was necessary since it was either me or them and before I knew it, I killed even more. I may be numb to say at the very least."
Lucius nodded, he knew that his son was different from him, he wasn"t a dark wizard and he had normal human emotions. He didn"t want his son to kill so early on as well and was quite worried about what will happen from now on.
"Sigh! There are a few things you want to know--" Lucius said as he began explaining what happened in his absence.

Back in the hotel room, Draco after a quick bath was sitting on his bed with the letter in his hand.
Dear Draco or should I say fellow transmigrator,
Shocked, are you? Well, I know you are even if you lie that you aren"t. If you are reading this then I am guessing you somehow survived the blast so first, let me introduce myself, I am Ryan Adams. My real name is... well it doesn"t matter in this world. I am a half-blood. I am sure you are totally confused about what"s going on so let me explain it to you.
Let me start from the very beginning after we died due to the accident, Wait! Do you even remember how you died? Well, let"s keep that suspense for you. If I reveal everything in this letter it wouldn"t be fun anymore.
Anyway, after we died we met this light called Mora, who controlled the s.p.a.ce. He then explained about our past, why we were there and why we will be sent back to our original world, yes this is our original world, surprising right? In between all this, we were given two choices, one was to choose knowledge and the other was Power, and me being me quickly picked knowledge and you being too slow got Power by default. Through Knowledge, I remembered everything about our Past lives, all these different spells, potion formulae and even things you don"t remember but it turns out knowledge isn"t everything. Oh, how wrong was I. It turns out the most important thing is Power, which you contain my dear Draco.
I have all this knowledge but I can"t use it to its full extent and you have all the power but you don"t have the required knowledge to use them fully, funny right? Due to me having more advantage than you, I got the worst fate possible, my parents weren"t that rich and I was born 3 years before the original story starts and to make things even worse, I am not even in Hogwarts but Durmstrang whereas you due to only having power you got the best fate among us, being born as Draco Malfoy, the d.i.c.k character, rich parents and everything.
When I first arrived here, I was disappointed with everything the only thing I liked was that I was more powerful than you will ever be, or at least I thought that was the case. In this school, other than this Victor Krum from the movies, I didn"t know about anyone else in Durmstrang, I begged my parents to send me to Hogwarts but everything was already set and no matter what I did, I was still sent to Durmstrang, that"s when I found you. Out of nowhere in the newspaper I saw your face, a potion genius they called you, I wonder if I show them my talent, what will they call me? Maybe a G.o.d? Anyway moving on, With your lack of knowledge I was sure that I will find you sooner or later but this was too easy than I imagined, as you showed yourself to me and slowly I began realizing something, I was lied and betrayed all along.
You see, I realized that with Power you can slowly learn knowledge and progress but with Knowledge gaining power is very very hard, not impossible but difficult, especially when my legs don"t work. Yes, they don"t. I am like that weirdo from those x-men movies, the baldie, I am all so knowledgeable but I can"t do s.h.i.t on my own. I then became extremely jealous of you, the more I saw you on the news the more I got irritated and angry, but then... something hit me. I could play you on my fingers all along.
I quickly calculated all the things you could do with your power since even though you lack the knowledge you still have the memories of your previous life. I came to three different conclusions and planned things carefully and slowly, and within a year I was ready. I tricked Pius into becoming my p.a.w.n controlling him completely, its a nice spell you know, it"s pretty handy if you ask me. Back on the topic, I then started a riot against you, you see... you becoming a Black was one of the few things I concluded that you would do. Pretty typical if you ask me. So I started manipulating people and slowly I managed to gather a small ma.s.s to protest against you, I admit some of them had to be put under the curse but it still worked. Then came the Romania part, speaking to Dragons a handy skill isn"t it? I can do the same too, so I already had my men ready to trap you in Romania, but then came the unexpected parts.
I didn"t think your friend will be present there, in fact, I thought you will be clever enough to keep these things to yourself, so that was a mistake on my part, I guess. Due to this, you managed to escape from my traps and then came the other unexpected part, the vampires, I don"t know how you did it, but you managed to turn them completely against me so you managed to dodge my other traps as well and went straight ahead into the mansion.
You are probably asking, why do all this right? and you also probably have a lot of question you want to ask me, so why don"t you come to meet me. This year come visit me in Durmstrang, if you don"t, I will come for you dear Draco and I a.s.sure you things wouldn"t be as simple as before. This time I neither harmed your friends nor touched your family but the next time I am not sure that I will be able to control myself.
I can answer so many of your questions, your wand, your death, and even your purpose so don"t hesitate too much. Don"t worry, I won"t harm you.
Your other half,
Ryan Adams.
The letter burned into ashes as soon as he finished reading it. Draco frowned as he quickly took out a paper and a note and started writing down all the main points he could remember from the letter.
"Other half..." Draco tried putting all the clues together but was still left with all these unanswered questions. Draco never believed in transmigration before until he came here so people other than him being transmigrated wasn"t too much of shock to him, in his previous life he was a worse than average guy, so he wasn"t a chosen one or something like that, so a fellow transmigrator could be understood. But the part about Mora, wand, other part left him very confused, about how he knew them and what purpose was he talking about.
