CHAPTER 58-Supper Party

(Ophelia's POV)
When I heard what happened to Katie I couldn't believe it. She could've died, and it would've been my fault.

"Phelia, you know it's not your fault," Draco says

"But it is my fault, Draco! It was my idea to go and get the cursed necklace. She could be dead right now and it would be my fault. Not ours, not yours, it's my fault" I sob

"Listen, we'll figure this out," he says

"And what if we don't? What if we don't figure this out, Draco? What's going to happen to us?" I ask

"He'll kill us" he mumbles

"Exactly. God, and what are we going to tell Blaise and Pansy?" I say, burying my face in my hands

"We could always try another plan" he suggests

"Yeah, and more innocent people could die," I indicate

"How about the poison plan? We could go to The Three Broomsticks next time we go to Hogsmeade, see if we could lace some sort of drink with poison?" he says

"Alright, that could work. We could Imperio Madam Rosmerta and make her give it to someone" I sigh

"Slughorn possibly, he's always at The Three Broomsticks. He could give it to Dumbledore for Christmas, he'll take a sip and he'd be dead" he adds

"Let's just hope no one almost dies this time," I mumble

Draco and I had a meeting that same day. Professor Snape had permitted us to use the Hogsmeade station to go back and forth.

It was around midnight so Draco and I were both drowsy from not sleeping. Now that I mentioned it, I have barely slept since we got to Hogwarts. I could tell Draco hasn't slept much either. We both looked sort of...ill. The bags under my eyes were getting darker every week.

I lay my head on his shoulder and he had his cold fingers interlocked with mine

"You nervous?" he softly asks

"Yeah, you?" I ask

"A bit," he says, I look up at him

"Yeah, no I'm terrified" he chuckles, I could tell when he was nervous. He usually would let out a laugh because of how nervous he'd be.

A couple of hours later we arrived at the Malfoy Manor. It was looking more run-down and abandoned than the first time I saw it.

"Ready?" I ask

"No" he chuckles

We knock on the door and a Death Eater named Fenrir Greyback opens the door

"Malfoy, Mendoza" he says in his deep voice, sending chills down my spine. Quickly we walk in and go to the dining room, where the meetings were being held

"Ah, Ophelia, Draco. I was worried you had forgotten" The Dark Lord says as we enter the room and sit at the table. Draco made me sit in between him and Narcissa. He didn't want the other Death Eaters next to me.
