CHAPTER 65-Potter

(Ophelia's POV)
It had been confirmed, Draco and I weren't returning to Hogwarts this year, and Blaise, Eliott, and Pansy have no idea.

We all finally turned seventeen, meaning we were of age. The only birthday present we got was a meeting with the Dark Lord. Fun.

The school year had started a while ago yet Draco and I were stuck here. In Malfoy Manor, with a bunch of Death Eaters, and our fathers, and of course the Dark Lord.

I couldn't say that Blaise Pansy and Eliott were having the time of their lives either. Turns out Snape's headmaster now and the Carrows teach Defense Against the Dark Arts and Muggle Studies. Or as known now as Dark Arts and Why Muggles are Scum

We wanted to get in contact with our friends, but we couldn't. The Ministry has been taken over. There was no way we could send a letter without it getting interfered with by the Ministry.

All we wanted to do explain everything to them. All we wanted to do was see their faces again and hug them.

During Christmas break, we could hear screams coming from downstairs. Meaning, there were new prisoners in the basement. We weren't allowed down there. There were three guys and two girls. I could tell.

Today, Narcissa told us to come downstairs. We thought there was a meeting. I was shocked to see some familiar people.

Weasley and Granger were on the side being held by some Snatchers. Bellatrix was holding someone else, their eye was swollen, most likely from a stinging jinx. Yet he had a scar, a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.

They found him. They found Potter.

My heart sank as Narcissa beckoned us forward.

"We think it's him. But we're not quite sure. We need you both to identify him" she explains

"Well?" Bellatrix asks as he pulls his hair.

Draco and I exchange a glance. We both knew it was him, and we were thinking the same thing. We had to lie our way out. They couldn't know this was Potter, or else it would be over.

"We can't be sure," Draco says

"Draco, look closely, son. If we are the ones to hand Potter over to the Dark Lord, everything would be forgiven. All would be as it was. Do you understand?" Lucius says.

"Now, we won't be forgetting who actually caught him, I hope Mr.Malfoy," the Snatcher who was holding Granger says

"You dare to talk to me like that in my own house?!" Lucius shouts making Draco flinch

"Lucius" Narcissa whispers as she takes him away

"Come over" Bellatrix grins

"Now if this isn't who we think it is, and we call him, he'll kill us all. We need to be absolutely sure" she says

I bend down to get a better look at him. Or at least try to act like I don't know who he is.

"What's wrong with his face?" I ask

"Yes, what is wrong with his face?" Bellatrix asks

"He came to us like that. Something he picked up in the forest, I reckon" the Snatcher says

It was obvious it was Potter. Weasley and Granger are here, how can they not connect the dots? Draco bends down too, he looks around to make sure no one was around

"Please" Potter mouths

Narcissa taps me on the shoulder

"Is it him?" she asks
