CHAPTER 54-Locket

(Ophelia's POV)
Things were finally normal between me and Draco. I also decided to stay at the Malfoy Manor for the summer. That just gave me déjà vu...

Magically my trunks appeared in my room a few hours later.

It was around midnight when there was a soft rap at the door and Draco quietly walks in

"Hey" he whispers

"Hi" I smile

"Do you mind if I?" he asks pointing to the empty part on my bed. I chuckle and make room

"You want to make a blanket fort?" he whispers as he hugs me by my waist

"Really?" I laugh

"Just saying. It could be like old times. Building a blanket fort and talking all night" he explains

"Tomorrow" I chuckle

"Fine" he grins

"I love you" he whispers as I drift off to sleep

- - - -

"Phelia. Phelia wake up" someone whispers in my ear

"Whaaat" I groan

"Wake up" Draco continues to whisper

"What's wrong?" I ask as I rub my eyes. He doesn't say anything, he just slightly nods towards the door. Narcissa was standing there will a huge smile on her face

"Oh my god. Uh...hi Mrs.Malfoy" I chuckle

Now that I realize it, I was in a tank top and Draco was shirtless. She must think...

"So, since when has this been going on" she smirks

"A while now, mum" Draco chuckles

"I'll uh...I'll go put a shirt on or something" he mumbles leaving the room

But Narcissa stays in place smirking at me. I know where Draco gets it.

If I'm being honest, Narcissa looks glowing, almost...happier now that Lucius isn't here.

"Why are you smiling at me like that?" I chuckle

"Oh nothing" she sighs

"Ok, whatever you think happened didn't happen" I explain

"I know" she simply answers and walks away. Draco walks back in, with a shirt on this time.

"Alright, we have to talk about...the task" he sighs

"How are we going to do this?" I ask

"Actually I have an idea, last term Montague had told me he had been stuck in this cabinet. He sort of transported out of Hogwarts to Borgin and Burke's" Draco explains

"Borgin and Burke's? Isn't that in Knockturn Alley?" I ask, he simply nods

"I'm pretty sure the other one was in the room of requirement. You know the one where Chang said that Potter was teaching in" he explains

"Right. Do you know how to get inside the Room of Requirements without blowing it up like Umbitch?" I ask

"No, but I'll figure out a way" he mumbles

"You mean we'll figure out a way?" I correct him

"Right, we will " he chuckles

We mostly stay in my room, considering there's a bunch of Death Eaters roaming the manor. We thought it was best.

Today I woke up and Draco wasn't next to me. I checked his room and asked Narcissa. She just said he went to go grab something.

"Hey," he said once he returned

"Where'd you go?" I ask. I was sitting by the window

"Went down to Diagon Alley," he says

"Diagon Alley? You didn't go look at the cabinet by yourself did you?" I ask

"No, of course not. I had to get something" he says as he sits down across from me

"What did you get?" I ask

"You can't know...yet," he says

"What, why not?" I exclaim

"Cause it's a surprise" he smirks

"Please?"

"No"

"Pleaaaasssse!"

"No"

"You're so frustrating" I cross my arms

"But you love me" he grins

"True" I chuckle

"Can I at least get I hint?" I ask

"No"

"When can I know what it is?" I ask

"Soon"

"Can I have a date?"

"No, now stop asking questions"

"Fine" I roll my eyes

- - - -

Today was my birthday. Like always it wasn't a big deal. But knowing Draco, he was going to make it a big deal.

"I got you something," he says

"Is it what you went to Diagon Alley for?" I ask

"Yep" he smirks as he reaches under the bed

"It was under the bed the whole time?" I ask

"Duh" he rolls his eyes as he shakes the little box

"Now shut up and take it" he mimics himself  as he hands me the small box

I open it and inside was a beautiful silver locket, and inside a picture of him as if he was looking up at me and engraved 'From: Blondie'

"I thought since you call me Blondie, I'd engrave it in the necklace" he chuckles

"I love it," I say as I stare at the locket

"And now, I'll be right next to your heart at all times. Besides when we're together, I can look at myself anytime I want" he adds

"Oh, so humble" I scoff

"If you don't like it I could return it" he mumbles

"Draco, you don't have to, I really do love it" I kiss him

"Are you sure?"

"Duh" I laugh

It had been a couple of weeks and it was finally the start of July. Narcissa took us to go look at the vanishing cabinet down in Knockturn Alley.

Diagon Alley looked abandoned and run down. Definitely not how I remember it looking in the second year. Yet there was one shop that stood out.

A huge orange shop and I gigantic red-haired man in the front. The Weasley's of course. I looked in from the window, Potter, Granger, and Weasley were looking around. And of course, Fred and George shouting about their newest products. But there was another boy, a tall brown-haired boy. Eliott

"Step up! Step up!" he shouts

"We've got Fainting Fancies, Nose-bleed Nougat, and just in time for school Puking Pastilles!" the twins announce

Quickly we walk away from the bright coloured store and walk towards the dark alley, I couldn't help feel like we were being followed.

We walk into the dark shop and there were already Death Eaters waiting for us.

"Is that it?" I whisper pointing at the large cabinet.

"Think so" he replies

He softly touches the cabinet, feeling the grooves of the intricate features before reaching for the handle.

"This is the one" he whispers
