After last night i went to bed pretty late, The death eaters didn't leave until about 12am so i was kept up by their loud voices down stairs. I don't even know what they were talking or yelling about down there but i did hear my name more than a few times.

I woke up the next morning with a horrible headache, i didn't know why or what the cause was but it was so bad i was nauseous.

I wondered downstairs and looked at the clock, it was 10:45am. Narcissa and Lucius were downstairs talking but stopped immediately when I walked in

" Goodmorning sweetheart." She said with a smile before pouring milk into a cup.

I returned her smile, " Morning." I replied my voice sounding scratchy. Draco walked downstairs and past me towards one of the cabinets grabbing a cup. I watched as he grabbed the milk and poured more into a glass for himself. " Um, do you perhaps have medicine of some sort?" I asked quietly.

She looked around the kitchen before meeting my eyes again, I didn't want her to think bad of me for using medicine, I know some people think it's bad but i just didn't want a damn headache for the rest of the day.

" Do you... not use spells for that?" She asked with a questioning look on her face, i could tell she wasn't trying to be rude she was just genuinely wondering.

Draco sat down beside his dad ignoring our conversation and looking over Lucius's shoulder at the news paper.

I wrapped my arms around my stomach and stood their awkwardly, "I didn't know there was a spell to fix a headache." I replied sounding more dumb than i was.

Lucius let out a snarky chuckle, " There's a spell for everything let's be honest River." He said staring at the news paper not even looking up at me. Lucius made me want to punch him in the face sometimes, he was like an annoying older brother.

I turned back to Narcissa, she sighed through confused gritted teeth and opened a cabinet above Dracos head beginning to dig through it. " Im sure we have something in here." She said knocking out a few pill bottles onto the counter while she was looking. She kept digging for a moment before grabbing a bottle from the back of the cabinet and reading the label, " You can have Advil right? You're 16." She added looking up at me.

" Yeah..." I said slowly taking the bottle from her cold hands. " Thanks." I stared at the bottle for a moment. Draco looked up at me and raised his eyebrows but i ignored him and just opened the bottle. I poured two pills into my hand and took them with water as he watched me closely.

I closed it and sat down next to Draco with just a cup of water.

Once Narcissa sat down they both stared at us like they had something to say, Dracos eyes flickered over to me for a second before back to his mom confused. "Lucius, would you like to tell them what the dark lord has put in place this afternoon?" Narcissa asks trying to get Lucius to look up from the news paper.

He stared at her blankly for a moment before looking beside him to Draco and I, " I suppose." He replied obviously irritated, he was never good at hiding his feelings. " The dark lord has planned a meeting for this afternoon because you finished your task. We think it's going to be about wether you two will be going back to Hogwarts or not." He explained.

Even talk about Hogwarts made me nervous, would i really be going back to Hogwarts after i just killed the head master? Why would he even think about sending me back there? Everyone was going to hate me, i don't even know if Adrian or Miles would forgive me for what i did.
