Inescapable | Drarry + Bleville ✔︎

Chapter 27

Draco's POV:

Madame Pomfrey, sadly enough, healed him quickly and he was able to go home that day for the holidays. Snape even told him he didn't have a choice and that he had to finish his assignment after his father had a chat with him. Whenever his father wanted to "chat" it was never good. He was frightened but forced himself to forget about it. If he wanted to survive it all, he couldn't show or feel fear. It simply wasn't an option.

So him and Blaise sat alone together in a lone compartment, as silent as they can be. He could tell they both didn't want to be doing this.

"I hope they feed you." Draco says quietly.

Blaise looks up at him in silence for a bit, "I hope you're safe." He responds quietly.

"I will be." Draco says, not sure about that himself.

"Hey, if nothing else I'll feed myself. I do it all the time." Blaise smirks a bit, but it quickly fades away. They both sigh and Draco leans back in the seat.

Draco hears voices outside the compartment and watches Harry, Ron, and Hermione pass by. Not so far behind was Neville and Hannah. He glances at Blaise who watches them. He notices Blaise and Neville catch sight of each other, which makes Neville stop for a second. Hannah seems to sneer at Blaise behind him, but follows Neville closely.

Draco looks at Blaise, who is now staring at the floor. He gets up and closes the compartment door, casts muffliato and sits back down. "Everything will be ok," He says, not only to Blaise, but himself as well.

"The thing is... I'm happy for them truly. I finally can look at them without feeling jealousy, but now I also feel... I don't know, pain? I can't explain it. But I'm happy for them." Blaise says.

"It's normal to feel heartache. Don't feel so bad about it. You only felt jealousy because well... Neville's never dated literally anyone until now. Again, it's completely understandable why it's so hard for you." Draco says.

"I wish I could go back to the days where I didn't like anyone." Blaise says, "Where I just went through my days not caring for anyone and being the worst person ever. I still had problems, especially with my mother, but it was much easier."

"Yeah... I second that. Nothing is easy anymore. Sometimes I wish I was a kid again... Back then my father didn't care too much about what I did, but then I turned into a teenager and now it seems like he hates me. Not that he seemed to care before, but at least before he never paid attention to me. Now all he does is watch everything I do and yell at me all the time. Sometimes worse... Will it only get worse from here?"

Blaise shrugs, "I hope not. I don't know if I could take anything worse than this."

"Me either..." Draco says, remembering that it is worse, and he can barely take it.

After a long train ride, they finally are able to get on the ground. He was hoping to see his mother, or maybe no one at all. Sadly, he came face to face with his father. He grabs his arm and drags him away from the train.

They go right into Diagon Alley and into a floo network. His father grabs the powder and says very clearly, and quite eerily, "Malfoy Manor."

They show up in the dining room and without even a second to relax, his father drags him to his office and pushes him into a chair.

"You utter disgrace!" His father shouts at him. He holds back the tears and the urge to cover his ears like a little child. "You think I wouldn't know?!" His heartbeat increases. He can't be talking about Harry. "How dare you try to escape this!" He relaxes a bit. "Do you even want to be a part of this family?! Huh?! If you try to go to the good side I will kill you." His father says, gritting his teeth and leaning towards Draco threateningly.
