{a/n I made a very bad pun in here, also I need a name for the owl because I forgot, so list names and I will pick one}
Who or what the hell are 'The Marauders'? I honestly have never heard of them. Why would I be interested? What do I not know? It is something I should be aware of? Have I heard of it before and just forgot? Is it important?
Suddenly I am pulled from my thoughts when Draco's voice brings me back "I reckon you should open it. I can see the curiosity on your face." He's right. So, I do as he says. When I open it, it has a picture of four boys, who appear to be in their first year. Underneath the moving image it says:
'First picture of the Hogwarts express, first year. Several hours after meeting.'
I wonder why it wasn't labeled as to whom they were. I flick to the next page and this time it's a woman and one of the boys from the first picture, they both look so familiar. I read what it says.
'James Potter and Lily Evans in first-year – little did they know they would later get married!
- Padfoot'
"Merlin's Beard! It's one of my mum and dad! But who or what the bloody hell is Padfoot? " I say when I look to Draco, and he just shrugs his shoulders. We keep looking when I get to a page it has some notes on it.
'Dear James,
Mate none of us can believe that you are getting married! Bloody hell I didn't even think you would manage to get the girl to go on a date with you. Nevertheless, I am proud to call you one of my best friends and a brother. I siriusaly (ha-ha) can't wish you the best.
-Sirius Black
(Aka Padfoot, aka pads, aka the best dude ever) '
"NO WAY" Draco suddenly yelled.
"What?! What's wrong?"
"I always forget!"
"What? Always forget what?"
"Your dad knew Sirius Black!"
"So? What's that matter?"
"Sirius was sent to Azkaban for working with he-who-shall-not-be-named! He-" Draco cut himself off, he had a sense of realisation; now I was more curious,
"Two questions: What is Azkaban and what did he do, Draco?" when I asked what this Sirius Black did, he looked more hesitant than I have ever seen. He starts to stumble over his words.
"Well Azkaban is the most secure prison that there is..." he left the second question unanswered, but I was more focused on the fact my parents were close with someone who is now in a high-security prison. But after a few moments, I re-ask the question.
"What did he do?" I can see him shift out of the corner of my eyes, only now do I turn to look at him, he seems to be looking anywhere but me. I ask the question again. He tries to get up and leave muttering outcome excuse, but I grab his arm. "Draco Malfoy! What in Merlin's name did Sirius Black do to get him sent to a high-security wizard prison? " at this point he even knows that he isn't leaving until he tells me the complete and honest truth.
"Well, he..." that was all I heard, the rest was mumbled with a lot of nervous stuttering.
"Can you repeat that?"
"He, kind of..." the words were spoken quickly with no stuttering, but I still didn't understand what he said.
"One more time Dray,"
"hekilledyourparents" the word were said quickly, but I understand what he said. I freeze. Now I understand why he was cautious when telling me. My entire world has changed. Knowing they are dead is one thing, knowing I can see pictures of the man who killed them makes me feel sick to my stomach. I feel as though I should burn every photo that has him; but I won't, I need to see the man who caused this pain – who made me and my twin orphans.
I don't realise until I feel Draco wipe a tear from my face that I started to cry looking at the image of Sirius Black. I feel his arms wrap around my body as a start to sob. This is life-changing news. Things will never be the same after today.
"Hey, how about we go for a walk, and later we can read some of these muggle books together?" I can tell Draco is just trying to think of a way to get my mind off this. It's a very caring thing to do, and I know it is hard for him.
"Sure Draco, that sounds nice right now."
-Time skip-
After around 2 hours of one of the best Christmas – despite everything that happened. We had a feast for Christmas in the great hall with the rest of the people who have stayed behind for the holidays, we laughed, we read, and we had a good time. Draco genuinely gave me the best Christmas that I have ever had.
As Draco and I were heading to the Slytherin common room I noticed my owl flying towards me with a letter in its beak. It lands on my shoulder; I grab the letter and thank my owl and it flies off, as I open it.
'Dear Y/N,
I need assistance in solving a mystery with Harry and Ron, but Harry doesn't want to get you involved.
Send an owl back if you are willing to help.
-Hermione Granger.'
