The Dragon

Part 9

The ball was in 2 weeks and the next task was coming up after that and you still hadn't figured it out yet. You had opened the egg a few nights before but all it did was make a screeching sound. So you didn't open it after that because you did not want to hear that noise again. Today there was a trip to Hogsmeade and you were going to go with Harry, Ron and Hermoine like usual.

You were walking around with Hermoine looking into shop windows as you passed you had already gotten butter beer, but you had finished it when you were still talking to Harry and Ron. You and Hermoine were talking about the ball and what your dresses looked like, you didn't tell her that you were going with Draco but she said that Krum asked her to the ball and she said yes. Of course you didn't like Krum but as long as Hermoine was happy you didn't care. "So y/n, who are you going to the ball with. I told you who I was going with but you never said who you were going with." You didn't really want to say because all of your friends hate the guy. "Um" Hermoine was looking at you but you were just staring at the ground. "Come on I won't be mad." You sigh and say, "Draco" You looked up at her and her eyes are so wide you thought they would pop out of their sockets. "What?!" "You said you wouldn't be mad!" She's not wide eyed anymore and she stopped looking at you. "You didn't tell anyone else did you?" "Only Cedric but that's because he asked me to the ball and I had to say no." She sighs, "You know Harry's going to be mad." You look at her, "Do you think I care what he thinks?" She's looking at you again. "I know you don't." She sounds disappointed. You didn't talk the rest of the time, but why does she care? You don't care that she's going with Krum and you don't like him. Why can't she accept that your going with Draco.

You were in the Gryffindor common room finishing up an essay for transfiguration when Harry and Ron come barging in with Hermoine behind them. "YOUR GOING TO THE BALL WITH MALFOY!?" Harry's yells. "Be quiet then I'll answer." He's standing in front of you and your still writing your essay. "Are you?" You look up at him, "Yes and I don't see why this effects you, so why are you making it a big deal?" He sighs and looks away. "No matter what you say I'm going with him." You look back down at your essay and continue writing. "Whatever" Harry says as he walks up to his dorm, Ron follows Harry but Hermoine sits down next to you. "So your not mad at me for telling them?" You look at her and then back down to your essay, "No, they would've found out somehow. I guess this is better than them yelling at me at the ball." She sighs, "Yeah." You both just sat there in silence for a few minutes while you worked on your essay. "I'm going to go to bed now" you say as you pick up your things. "I guess I will to." Hermoine says and you two go up to your dorms.

It's around midnight and you can't sleep and apparently Harry can't either because he just barges into your dorm and pushes a daily prophet into you hands, "Read it!" He sounds very urgent so you look at the front cover and there's a picture of your father. As you read it says that he's been found giving information to death eaters that supposedly were cleared, "They have to have the wrong person, my dad died years ago from deatheaters!" You look up at him and he looks worried. "Y/n that looks exactly like your dad." "BUT HOW?!? How?" "Idk y/n" he walks out after that leaving you confused and alone.

THINGS ARE HAPPENING!!!
