Malfoy Neighbors

Invasion of the Manner-Year 6 chapter 6

After lunch, you let Draco go do what ever it was he was doing because of the mark on his arm. You went to your common room and found Sam, who was reading the evening Prophet. You sat down on the couch next to her.

"Have you read this?" She asked and handed you the paper.

"No," you answered accepting it. "What's going on?

"They didn't find anything." Sam said. You looked at her confused. "Read." She told you and pointed at the artical. You lifted the paper and read.

'This second search of the Death Eater's residence does not seem to have yielded any results. Arthur Weasley of the Office of the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Proactive Objects said that his team had been acting upon a confidential tip-off.' You looked at Sam when you were finished reading.

"I don't think Draco's read this yet either." You said. "I'm sure he will be fearius when he does." You looked into the fire.

"I wonder who gave the tip-off." Sam said, more to herself than anyone else.

"I don't know." You layed the paper down on the coffee table and stood up. "I'll talk to Draco about in the morning. I'm tired so I'm off to bed." You said finishing in a yawn. You said goodnight to Sam and went to bed.

The next morning, you sat down next to Draco at the Slytherin table. You got the normal annoyed look from Perkinson and her friends, but as for the other Slytherins that were always around Draco, they ignored the fact that you were in Hufflepuff and welcomed you as if you were a fellow Slytherin. You handed Draco the paper you read last night, which you had grabbed on your way out of the common room.

"What's this?" Draco asked, taking the paper.

"I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you haven't read the paper lately." You told him, pointing at the article. Draco read it to himself. You watched as his expression change from confusion to anger. "I don't mean to anger you but I thought you should know."

"How dear them!" Draco said. "Who do they think they are?" Draco stood and droped the paper on the table before storming off.

"What did he just read?" Theodore Nott asked you.

"He has evey right to be angery." You said as you handed Nott the paper. You fallowed after Draco and caught up with him the corridor.

"They had no right!" Draco snapped, as he kept walking.

"I agree with you, Draco. Don't snap at me. I didn't tell Author Weasley to go looking for anything." You snapped back.

"I know." Draco said more calmly. "I bet he just wanted to search the manner again." He said in his normal drawl.

"They didn't find anything." You reminded him.

"Of course they didn't." Draco truned the corner and down the stairs to the dungeons. "They took it all last time."

"Well, in any case," you tried to speak, but Draco kept talking.

"If they only knew what The Dark Lord is doing..." he started. You grabbed his hand and pulled him into an empty class room.

"What the hell Draco!" You whisper yelled at him. "You can't go around talking like that in the corridors."

"I don't care!" Draco snapped and left the room.

"Where are you going?" You asked as you continued fallowing him.

"My common room." Draco answered annoyed.

"Draco, don't be angry with me." You said. Draco kept walking his fast pace. You fallowed in silence until he got to the Slytherin common room.

"Anguis" he said to the stone wall. The wall opened up and you fallowed him inside.

"I know you're upset..." you started saying when Draco flipped around to face you.

"Of course I'm upset! They had no right! They invaded my home!" Draco's temper rose while he spoke.

"I know." You said softly. "It's my ..." Draco truned back away and headed up to his dorm. You fallowed him. "Draco. I understand how you feel."

"No, you don't." Draco snapped plopping on his bed and laying down.

"Draco? I live there too." You said slowly. Draco sat up. "My room is right next to yours." You sat beside him. "They invaded my home too." You pointed out. Draco didn't say anything but seem to calm down. You rested your head on his shoulder and staired at the wall in silence.

"I want to know who gave Weasley the tip-off?" Draco said after a few minutes.

"Why? It won't solve any thing." You looked at Draco. "Just forget about it."

"Yeah, I'm not doing that." Draco said looking back at you. "Who every it was is gonna pay for it."

"Draco, it's not worth it." You tried to resin with him. "You're just angery and you have every right to be. But don't let it get to you." You layed your head back on his shoulder and sliped your hand into his. "They didn't find anything. So, let the Ministry waste their time and man power searching for something that's there."

"I'm still angry!" Draco said underhis breath.

"I know you are. I am too." You replied calmly. "Come on, let's go back down stairs. I'm sure your friends are confused." You sat up. Draco looked at you puzzled. "You just stormed off with out saying a single word to any of them." Draco nodded in agreement and the two of you rejoined the rest of the school in the Great Hall. Draco sat down the his friends and you joined Sam at the Hufflepuff table.

"Well, Draco reacted just as I thought he would." You said, sitting across from Sam. "He was livid."

"I saw you chase after him." Sam said looking up from her plate. "Is he gonna be ok?" You looked at her with surprise. "What?"

"I didn't think you cared if he's ok or not?" You said confused.

"I don't, I care about you. Of he's not ok, it makes you sad." She explained. You smiled and shook your head.
