Yeah, here you go. A few things to say before this chapter. One, I'm so sorry. Two, please don't hate me. Three, :(

It's been a few weeks since school got out. It's now the middle of July, the sixteenth, and my mum and bringing me to her friends' house. Some woman she met at the Ministry. She's gone to this woman's house for tea before, but now she's bringing me along. Apparently this woman has a kid who's my age. I wonder who it is. I'm not with her now though, I'm with the Weasley's. Ginny still hasn't told anyone about her date with Blaise.

"You really need to go on it as soon as possible. School starts back up in less than two months. You're missing out. Imagine if you saw him and he kissed you."

"Sara! Leave me alone!"

"Nah, I'm here to torture you haha."

"Sara!" Footsteps. Fred opens the door. "I'm supposed to be taking you to your mum's friends house. Cause I can apparate now."

"Okay. Bye Ginny."

"Bye Sara."

"So who's this friend?"

"No idea. Come on." I take his hand and we apparate. When we land, I gasp at the huge house in front of us. Obviously a manor. It looks larger than my house. "Woah."

"Yeah."

"Want me to walk you up?"

"Sure. I'd like that. Apparently they're in the back garden, but we should knock anyway. With a house like this, they probably have house elves."

"Yeah, no kidding." We knock on the door, and indeed, a house elf opens it.

"Hello, I'm Lispy. The Mistress is in the back garden with a guest, would you like me to take you there?" I nod.

"Are you sure it's okay if I come?"

"Yes Fred, come on." We walk through the giant house.

"Woah, this place is gigantic."

"Yes, yes it is." We reach the back garden, where Lispy leads us over to my mum and a woman with brown hair who looks oddly familiar, even though I swear I've never met her before in my life.

"Oh hello Fred, Sara," my mum says. "This is my friend, Narcissa Malfoy." My eyes widen and I can feel Fred slightly stiffen from beside me.

"Nice to meet you Mrs Malfoy," I say politely. I nudge Fred and he says the same.

"I better be getting back home. Bye Sara." He walks away and I know why he left. He didn't want to run into Draco.

"Anyway, Narcissa has a son, I think he's in your year?"

"Yes. Draco, I'm sure you know him. He's in Slytherin," Narcissa says. I nod.

"Yes, we've uh- we've seen each other."

"Oh there he is now. Draco! Come meet our guests!" I stiffen. He can't see my face, and I don't dare turn around.

"Coming Mum!"

"This is Eve and her daughter Sara." I sneak a glance at Draco, and his eyes meet mine. He looks shocked, but quickly recovers.

"Nice to meet you," he says to my mum.

"So do you two know each other?" My mum asks him.

"Um yeah... we've uh- seen each other," he says awkwardly.
