"Oh come on Parker, i know you can do better than this!" Draco spoke as we're both flying high up into the air. "Your so gonna get this Malfoy." I threw the quaffle in the direction of Draco when he caught it with ease. He's good.

"It's not fair. you play quidditch for a few years and i just started yesterday." Draco gave a snicker at my comment as he threw the quaffle back to me again.

"It is fair. you just gotta do your best." He gave me a playful wink as i dived a little to catch it again. "You are the seeker on your team right?" I asked as we kept throwing the quaffle at each other. "yeah i am why?"

"Because I have never seen you play before or at least, not on the field." Draco gave me an confused look. "You go to the matches?" He's so dumb. I pointed to the yellow batch on my top. "Yeah of course i do, Hufflepuff's greatest fan you see." The boy rolled his eyes. "why don't you play it then?"

"Because i'm pretty clumsy-"

"Olivia, watch out!"

Before i could turn around the quaffle had already hit me right into my back. I felt my hands loosing the thigh grip I held on the broom and slowly fell off of it. Shit. I tried to grab the broom again, one of my hands succeeded to grab it as the other one lost it again. I was now falling into the direction of the ground at a quickly amount of speed. Here we go.

"I got you."

I felt the ice cold hands of Draco holding me at my waist as he pulled me on to the back of his broom. "Are you hurt?" I shaked my head. Not hurt but ashamed. Draco brought us safely back to the ground as he looked at me, his eyes filled with worry. "I get it why you don't play quidditch now." I gave soft push to his shoulder causing him to laugh. If he wasn't there to grab me, I might not be standing here. Lucky.

"maybe it is better if we stop the quidditch training for today." Draco nodded as he took the two brooms and putted them away again. I was in pain now. The adrenaline had worked out as I felt my cheek burning from the pain.

"You sure you're alright?" I looked up from the ground as my eyes met with his. One of his hands trailed all the way up to my cheek as he checked the little cut on it. "Does it hurt?"

"A little. But it's no big deal I will get over it." I shaked my head causing him to pull his hand away. I didn't want him to think that I'm weak. Because I'm not.

A few hours had passed, Draco and I had talked and talked. I actually started to enjoy spending time with him, it felt different as spending the time with Hannah and Peter. I always had the feeling that they didn't totally understand me. But Draco did. He had told me story's about his family and his friends on hogwarts. He was a whole different person now, if you asked me.

"My father thinks that caring about something or someone makes you weak." Draco looked sad as he began the story's about his parents. I knew they didn't gave him much love but never thought he would suffer so much from it. "That's not true, caring for something or even someone doesn't make you weak. It made me stronger, you should try it." 

"Only Hufflepuffs think that way." I stood up from the grass as I took a few steps closer to Draco. "Why do you hate us so much?" I asked as I placed myself next to him on the little bench.

"I don't hate you, I just don't like your way of thinking." At least he was being honest. I turned my head to face him as he was already looking at me. "We don't think differently Draco, we try different. Sometimes things didn't go as they where planned but that doesn't mean that it's the end of the world. If it doesn't work your way, why don't you just try another instead?"

"Sometimes there are no other ways Olivia, not everyone is capable of making mistakes without them getting noticed." With that Draco stood up and walked into the direction of the manor again, he is a difficult person. I like it.

I stood up and walked back inside the manor again. It had been a long day as it wasn't even over yet. I was deep into my thoughts as I got interrupted by a few faint voices which I didn't recognize. Would Mr and Mrs Malfoy be back already?

"I don't know sir."

I took a few steps closer as I heard Polly being one of those voices, she was talking to someone in the hallway. I took another pair of steps. Not Mr or Mrs Malfoy for sure.

"I asked you something, where's the girl."

I hid myself behind one of the big pillars as I listened to their conversation. The two big men stood in front of Polly, one of them with his wand pointed at her forehead. What should I do. I looked at the clothes they where wearing, all black. I was sure now, it where death eaters.

"Gentleman to what do we owe this pleasure?" I couldn't let them kill Polly.

I straightened my posture as I spoke, trying to sound as confident as I could but deep down did they know, I was terrified.

It felt as if the time had stopped. One man now taking a few steps closer to me. Shit.

"I assume you are here for my parents?" Draco walked into the hallway, he seemed calm. His wand rested into his left hand as he grabbed me at my waist with his right one. "Stay behind me." He whispered so only I could hear. Thank god.

"Yes. They have something that belongs to us. Maybe this says something to you?" I felt my body tens at the sight of their death eater-Marks as Draco did nothing. It wasn't the first time he saw it, he saw it everyday only with me not knowing about it yet.

"They aren't home right now." Draco spoke as he pushed me a few steps back. "But you two are." Not a second later I felt myself being pushed against the wall. I lost the grip on my wand as it fell out of my hands right onto the floor. Merlin.

"Hello there girly." I felt the man's cold wand trailing down my cheek as he stopped right before the fresh cut. This was going to hurt. "Don't you dare touch her." Draco shouted as he looked me right into the eyes. I felt helpless, I couldn't protect myself.

"Expelliarmus!"

The spell caused by Draco was blocked with ease. I pointed to my wand as it still laid lifeless on the ground, luckily Draco understood and caused a spell as it flew right back into my hands. Let's learn those two a lesson.

"Hello to you to there, girly." I said as I poked my wand into the man's eyes. I did it and good as the man lost his grip on my body and I could escape. One to go.

I looked back at Draco who shouted spell by spell fighting to the other man.

"Expelliarmus."

The other man's wand flew across the room as he putts his hands in the air. He surrendered. I felt my body meeting with the ground beneath me as the other man caused a spell right at my back. My sight became blurry as I felt my body relaxing. I collapsed.

Did it end?

"Olivia are you alright?"

"Olivia, can you hear me?"

I opened my tired eyes who met with Draco's. He seemed relieved. "How are you feeling?" He asked as he took a seat next to me onto the bed. "Could be better." I murmured, to tired to say actual words. Draco nodded at me. "They left after after I fought the other one too." I smiled. I'm glad he's okay.

"I thought you wouldn't wake up anymore you know. You scared the shit out of me really." I wasn't able to respond but I didn't have to, he kept talking as he watched me slowly drifting into sleep.

I woke up at the feeling of Draco's hands holding me a little bit tighter. "Good morning." I turned around as I saw him laying next to me. "I didn't want to leave you alone tonight. Sorry if I scared you." He pulled his hands away as he spoke. "Thank you." I said as I watched him playing with his rings nervously. "I'm glad that you're not dead you know, other wise I had no one to bother this summer." I saw a smile creeping up his face. "Wouldn't want to mis that." He said as he pulled me into a hug. Wow.

"And what do we have here."
