The Forbidden Boy

Chapter 23

Out of breath, Luna, Hermione and I made it to the order of Phoenix. Shivers run down my spine as we walked in. The cold air, didn't help much either. Hermione used a spell to see if anyone was there.

"We're alone." She said sadly as she walked in front of us. Luna and I looked at each other as we followed. My mind wondered off to Draco and his safety. If anything happen to him, I don't know what I would do. I need to find a way to contact him. Surprisingly I found an owl by the window and toke advantage. I quickly wrote a letter asking how he is and making sure to be as secretive of my location as possible, as now I am a main target to Voldemort. I made a separate letter for Harry as well. I asked Luna and Hermione if they as well wanted to make a letter before I sent off the owl, both of them shook their head no.

"Take this to the malfoy manor but please don't be loud." I prayed as I patted the owl and gave it some treats. With that, she was off into the cold December wind. I sat down on the floor joining them as they were talking strategies.

"When can we see them again?" I blurted out. Hermione gave me a sad look as Luna put her hand on my knee.

"I'm not sure unfortunately. Could be months." Hermione sighed. " But if all goes to plan, it might be shorter. She said. I nodded in response. We arranged our sleeping arrangements last. As that sleeping was never our priority.

"Okay, so here is how we are going to do this. Right now, we are gonna meet Ron and Harry at this camp point where the first horcux is." Hermione went on. This made me smile. " Every time we find one we have to find a way to destroy them. We will start tomorrow. We should meet up with them within a week if we are consistent with our pace." She stated. Luna gave her an encouraging look. After that, we took some rest and slept through the night.
~~~~~~~~
It was now the next day, which means day one of a long awaited journey to defeat the dark lord.
I quickly got up, checking to see if the owl came back with any sort of letters. To my surprise, she did. I opened the window and she plotted two letters on the floor.

Hey Estella,
I miss you darlin. I will see you again soon, don't you worry about that. Now, Harry is fine, Ron was kept being questioned about Hermione and sometimes tortured. Trust me, I tried to rescue them. But I couldn't. They are currently locked in the cellar, and I try to sneak them some food from time to time and anything else they need. I'm only doing this for you, if it was up to me, I would let them rot, but I know how badly you care for these fools so I try my best. Anyways, I hope you are doing well. No one is searching for you guys yet.
I honestly don't know if we should continue sending in letters as this was risky enough. But I knew you needed this so I will allow it just this once. Just know we are all safe and sound, and if you need reassurance, just read this letter all over again as I don't know when the next time we could send letters.
I love you, Draco

Estella let out a shaky sigh as she felt a bunch of weight left off her shoulders. She heard something feel on the ground. She quickly picked it up and saw it was a picture of all of them together with a note that read 'Incase you miss us'. Ella let out a small chuckle as she kept the picture safe in her pocket as well as the letter. She decided to not write back as this was all she needed for now. She opened the other letter which was from Harry.

Hey sis,
I'm doing the best I can to get me and Ron out. Surprisingly, that little boyfriend of yours isn't so bad after all. Although he has to have two faces, once for us and one for his family, he's not bad.
Ron and I are managing, so you can tell Hermione to quit worrying about Ron, because I know she is.
I miss you. Please hurry to the tent, I wanna see you again. I will try to grab Draco and bring him with us, just give us some time. I love you, and so does Ron.
Oh and Ron says hi I guess. Anyways, it's time for me to go, I can hear Bellatrix up the straits.
Be safe and don't do anything stupid.
With love, Harry.

Ella let out a small chuckle with a tear rolling down her check. Like dracos letter, she sealed it down and hid it in her pocket as she packed up her belongings and met the other two by the door.

"Do we have everything?" Hermione asked. Luna and I both shake our head yes, as we walked out.
~~~~~~~~~~
It didn't take long till we reached out first destination. I looked around the forest as I placed down my bag. I let out a sigh as I saw the tent already lit. Once it clicked in my head, I raced down towards it in hopes that Draco,Harry and Ron are inside.

"Harry? Ron? Draco?" I whispered as I got closer.

"Ella? Ella! In here!" Harry screamed. I started crying. I ran right inside not carrying about how my stuff is outside. I jumped on him and gave him the biggest hug in my life. My eyes met Draco and I cried even harder. I let go of off Harry and ran towards him. Our lips crashed into one an other as sparks jumped onto our skin. It almost felt electrifying. I missed his touch so much that I forgot how to act. I pulled him into a hug as my arms are by his waist as he cupped my checks as we kissed.

"As much as I love this reunion, do you really have to snog my sister right in front of me?" Harry announced. Draco and I let out a laugh.

"Oh piss off Pottah." Draco sneered. "Your lucky I didn't let you die in there." Draco finished smugly.

Harry rolled his eyes as he went outside with Ron to greet Hermione and Luna.

"Oh I missed you." I cried as I finished crying. Draco wiped my tears away from my face as he gave me one more kiss.

"I missed you more. I hope you understand why I couldn't write you more." He asked sadly. I nodded
letting him know I understood.

"Malfoy, nice to see you again." Hermione said as she walked in with Luna, Harry and Ron.

"As to you." He said in agreement.

"Right, so we will start the search tomorrow. For now let's get some rest." Mione said. We all obligated as we chose the bunks we wanted.
Hermione and Luna shared one while Luna was on the top and she sleeping on the bottom on, Draco and I shared a bunk, while he was on top and I chose the bottom one. While Harry and Ron shared a bunk.

With all the excitement rushing through me, it was impossible to catch some sleep. I got out of bed and decided to walk around the tent, but no where far as having the fear of being caught by a snatchers was too much to bare.
Eventually, tiredness swept over me and I made my way back to the tent, smiling at myself as I saw Draco passed out on the bed above mine, listening to his soft snores. With that, I shut my eyes and fell to sleep.
