I Just Wanted to be Free

1.Summer

Hello currently, I'm still at the Malfoys. All summer I have either been lecture by Lucious about my friends continues sending letters to me.  Even Snape lecture me a few times.

I'm currently having one of my lessons with Snape. Since I was little and able to walk, talk, and read Uncle Snape has been teaching. It's part of the reason why I am ahead in Potions. He also teaches me in DADA that's why I know more spells and how to do them already.

We had a talk about Harry. I was curious about why he is hard on him but then at the same time, he protected him from Quirell. He said it was for the Dark Lord. These lessons have been more fun because now that I have my own wand, I can actually go against him.

"1, 2, 3" he said. I turned.

"Expelliarmus." Knocked his wand out of his hand.

"Accio." He calls for his wand.

"Depulso." I send away "Accio." Then call it to me. I grab his wand. "I guess I win." I hold his wand up.

"Very well done Eliza, I see you have been practicing." I hand him his wand back.

"It's because I have a great teacher." I smile. He just gives me a stern look.

"Okay, this will be our last lesson. I have to return to Hogwarts to prepare for the classes."

"I still can't believe that they didn't give you DADA position." I picked up the newspaper "This guy just looks more like a show than a professor."

"Well whatever happens you will still do well in his class." I roll my eyes because I know where this is going "And stay out of trouble."

"Yes, Uncle Snape."

"Have you decided to join the school orchestra and choir?" Over the summer I received a letter from professor Flitwick inviting me to join the orchestra and choir. I'm pretty sure after hearing about my incident with the harp is why he is inviting me.

"I don't know. I don't want to disappoint my mother. She was the star. What if I play horrible and when she wakes up she is embarrassed."

"Your mother was talented and it runs in your blood. You'll do fine. Plus I have heard you practicing all summer. I think you made your choice." I look up at him because I just got caught. "And I heard you have a nice voice too."

"How?" Snape then walks out and leaves. How would he know? I have never sung for anyone that wasn't my mother, well only one other person but they wouldn't have said anything.

"Eliza!" I hear Narcissa calling me. I walk out the room and into the living room.

"Yes, Narcissa?" She then hands me my letter. It was from Hogwarts. It was just the materials I am going to be needing for the school year. I go back to my room where I see Mesme. He has a letter in his beak. I grab it. It was a letter from Ron.

"Hi, Ej.
George, Fred, and I are going to visit Harry. All summer he hasn't replied back to us and you know how his guardians are. Would you like to join us? Hope to hear back from you soon.
-R.W."

"Eliza!" Lucious is calling. I head downstairs.

"Yes, Lucious," I said, a bit annoyed.

"The New Year will be starting soon."

"Wow, I didn't realize it." He is trying to hold his cool.

"Anyways, so under the school, Salazar Slytherin built a chamber which holds something deep inside. Your job will be to find its location and then release whatever is inside. Then you will find a way to put the blame on Harry Potter."

"I am not going to release something dangerous when I don't even know what it is."

"You will do as you're told!" Lucious and I just stare at each "Or else." I back down.

"Fine."

"Very well. It's time." I look at him.

"It's not even my birthday yet."

"The Lord has made an appearance. You must be ready for his return."

"No," two of his death eaters grabbed me and led me down. They restrained me.

It will be over soon. "Crucio."

"Ahh!!" they continue and continue.

"You have gotten stronger. She is holding much longer than usual." Death eater Goyle says.
"We should test the other one at full force." Death eater Crabb suggested.

"Not yet," Lucious stoops him "we will keep that one as usual." I go down on my knees feeling weak. I hear some squeaking and I look around. I see a rat, it looks vaguely familiar. They finally let me go.

I'm back in my room. I remember the letter that Ron sent. I replied saying 'Good luck and apologized that I can't be there'. I then send Mesme back out.

Two days later I received a letter from Ron. He told me everything about their rescue mission on saving Harry. Everything that had happened. I felt sadness. All
in the summer he didn't receive a single one of their letters. They locked his windows up. I felt terrible for Harry.

He is in a similar situation as I am just minus the cursing. I decided to write them a letter.

"Ron good job on saving Harry from that. I hope he is better now. Well, he must be since he is with your family. Please wish him a Happy Birthday from me.
-E.S.L.J.B"

I send Mesme with the letter. I go downstairs to have breakfast. Having a quiet meal. "Eliza tomorrow we will be going to retrieve your supplies," Lucious informs me.

I gasp. "Lucious Malfoy is going down to were muggles and traitors will be, will it rain today."

"Eliza enough with your insulants." He slammed down his newspaper.

"I'm done with breakfast I'll be in my cell if you need me." I left the table and went up. I stopped before I can enter my room. Turn to see Draco.

"What do you want Malfoy?"

"Why do you get him upset? What will happen if he loses his temper?"

"It's not your concern." I go into my room and close the door behind. Ever since the incident back at Hogwarts with Dracos two goons, I haven't spoken a word to him. I spend the rest of the day in my room. Dobby brought me lunch and dinner. Just wait two more weeks till I'll return to Hogwarts.
