Enza POV
Maple and Blaise took the information well last night, better than I thought they would anyway.

       I'm sitting on the cold stone bench in the court yard reading after class, a tall figure strolls over to me, it's Blaise.

       He sits next to me on the cold stone bench, "How can you sit here? My butts going to freeze off," He wines.

I place my book down and glair to my left at him, I shrug my shoulders, "Just deal with it Zabini," I reply jokingly.

        We sit in silence for about 10 minutes.

Blaise breaks the silence, "So Maple tells me you slept with Malfoy."

       I put my book down once more and slam it shut, I roll my eyes, "Yes I did, now what's your point?" I huff.
Blaise holds his hands up in defence, "You have a bit of an attitude, maybe you and Draco should do it again," He laughs, but I shoot him a glare.

       He stands up and holds his arm out for me to link in with him, I ponder for a moment and take his arm.

      "Let's take a stroll before class shall we?" He says.

Draco POV
Today after school I have to go to Malfoy Manner for my first meeting as a death eater. The Dark Lord terrifies me I only have mumsy and father and Bellatrix who I know there.

Walking through the empty halls of Hogwarts to go to the common room mentally preparing myself for tonight, I turn the corner and bump into two other students, "Watch it!" I shout but then I realise it's Blaise and Enza.

"No need to be rude Malfoy," Enza argues jokingly, a red liquid escapes Enza's nose then I remember what Professor Snape in the hospital 'her nose bleeds because she is falling deep in love'

His words ring in my ears, a thousand thoughts race my mind. Who is it she loves?

"Enza your nose, again," Blaise speaks casually. Enza wipes the blood from her nose and looks at me with worry.

I spot Maple from behind Blaise and Enza and she comes running up to us. "You guys missed Historg of Magic," Maple asks leaning on my shoulder.

"Oh well, last one to the common room loses!" Enza shouts running off to the common room with Blaise by her side.

I smile and run along with Maple behind me. I catch up to Enza, who is in the lead, and try to stay by her side, she is a fast runner, properly because she is so tall.

       We reach the common room and outside the portrait is Professor Snape he has a confused expression, we slow down at the sight of him.

      Then I realise Snape is here to take me to the meeting, my stomach starts to churn.
We approach Snape, "Draco grab your things you are going to be staying overnight," Snape says slowly.

        I glance at Enza who is giving me a sympathetic look. I bring my attention back to Snape and nod slowly, I walk through to the common room and immediately grab the essentials I will need to bring to Malfoy Manner.

      "Draco." I hear a soft voice, it's Enza. I pick up my bag and turn around to see Enza in different clothing and with her bag over her shoulder. "I'm coming with you," She demands holding her bag tighter.

      "No you are not," I reply angrily, I begin to storm out of the room but a hand grabs my wrist, I stop in my tracks and turn to face Enza. "Yes I am," She once again demands.

      I mean I could use some company from a friend and mumsy would love to see her again. But it's too dangerous.

      I nod to her and she smiles softly. I grab hold of her soft hand and we head up to the common room where Professor Snape is waiting.

      Snape gives Enza a nod, "You know what to do," He says, he dramatically turns quickly with his black cloak swishing behind him as he walks to the exit of the common room.

       Through the halls, across the bridge and finally to Hogsmeade, Snape holds his arms out for the both of us to take them, we do so.

      We arrive outside Malfoy Manner, the giant black door cracks open revealing mumsy who looks as pale as snow.

I lean over to Enza and mumble in her ear, "Go to my room, I'll meet you after."

       She nods her head and runs up the large marble black stairs and disappears around the corner.
