Promise

Chapter 24

Two weeks later:

The entire school is  sadness and mourned. Professor Sprout cries at the very thought of Dumbledore, and she is not the only one. 

Now everything will change at Hogwarts.

So far, there is a big haos here related to the tragedy that happened, so the teachers decided to take a 2-week break, during which they were to establish a new organization of the school. 

You have no option to come back to your home, since it was a return to certain death, Voldemort just waited for you to enter your home. So this idea was out. 

Another idea was to go to Hermione's Muggle family, but you had to protect yourself and they couldn't protect you because they didn't know any spells. Ultimately, you were supposed to go to Ron, but he goes with his family to England because their father has a lot to do in the Ministry of Magic. So you have only one option left, Draco's house. 

Of course, it was risky, but you had no other option, and you knew he and his parents would keep you safe. So you have decided. You brought your last luggage to the Gryffindor common room and said goodbye to your friends. 

When you left the dormitory, Draco was already waiting for you in front of entrance.

- 'Ready?', he asked.

And you nodded in agreement. 

Draco took your heaviest suitcases and you and the rest of the students left school. 

You waved goodbye to Hagrid, who was wiping his tears as he waved back.

Even though you were only leaving for two weeks, you had the feeling it was eternity, after all you just arrived after the Christmas break. You rode the train, sat with Draco in one compartment and watched nature come alive, it was the beginning of spring, your favorite season.

- 'Why do you like spring so much?', Draco asked while he was playing with your hair.
- 'Because that's when nature comes to life. We can enjoy the first rays of the sun, the first flowers bloom and the animals appear on the meadows. The day is getting longer and we are also filled with a new spring life and the joy of beautiful landscapes. Spring is a really beautiful time of the year.'
-' I like winter the most.', he said, still playing with your hair.

You felt his cold hands touch your neck.

-'Why?', you asked. 

Draco thought for a moment and replied.

- 'In winter it gets dark quickly and I can lie with you under one blanket by the fireplace and read our favorite poems.  Just like we did on Christmas. ' 

You turned to face him and kissed him subtly on the cheek, resting your head on his shoulder. 

Suddenly the train came to a halt and all the lights went out. 

You grabbed Draco's hand tightly.

- 'Relax, I guess some kids are making jokes.'

He said it just to calm you down, but you saw that he got upset too. 

You touched the window, which started to cover a layer of ice.

Allison's pov: 

I felt my lungs breathe cold air and my fingers lose their pinkish color.

- 'Dementors.' I said.

And in the same moment I saw a black figure outside the door which violently opened the door and flew into the center of our compartment. 

I was nervously searching for my wand, but couldn't find it anywhere. Apparently it fell somewhere while braking.
