Death Eaters Daughter Part Two

One Hundred Ninety Eight

I walked back down the stairs after talking to the twins for little
I learned that they have a girl who works the register most days, her name was Alice
She had long blonde hair and deep brown eyes
She was full figured, compared to me she looked like a model
Fred assured me that she was just a worker, I feel bad that he felt the need to assure me
We aren't together right now, I broke it off for a little he has the right to see other people but I don't think he will

  "Alice this is Cora" Fred said introducing me to her
She had just finished helping a customer out with a purchase

  "Hello Cora" she said
I felt her emotions, she wasn't very found of me it felt

I tried to not let it affect me, so I gave my hand out for her to shake it
She took it lightly and shook my hand once
  "It's nice to meet you" I said smiling

She smiled for a second and then went back to the register
We walked towards the puking pastries isle
I noticed she stared at Fred while I talked to him
  "She's uh..." I looked at her, she looked away "nice?"

  "She usually is, odd" Fred said shrugging his shoulders

George came over to us and took my hand
He brought me over to a section he swore I would love
And I did
Pygmy puffs, all sorts of colors
  "They're so cute" I said laughing "and fluffy"

  "Friendly buggers, they're a top seller want one?" He picked up a purple colored one

  "No no, not yet. I don't think my dragon would appreciate it" I said taking the puff from his hand "but it's real sweet" I watched as it curled into my hand "maybe one day"

  "We have dragon replicas here too, they come to life with water want to see?! They only last a few weeks it's a fun gift for kids they act like real dragons until the weeks are up, then they disappear" George said

  "I would like to see those definitely" I looked at Fred who was laughing with Alice

She touched his shoulder and smiled, flirted I should say
I felt myself become jealous, my blood was heating up
  "Alice likes Fred huh"

George looked over at them and laughed
  "You really have nothing to worry about, he's far from interested in her. He talks about you non stop, he won't even entertain any other girls"

  "I broke up with him"

George sighed
  "Again?? What did he do this time??"

  "I just don't feel right being in a relationship right now, I told him he could see other girls"

  "He won't" George said sternly "trust me, I don't say this to make you feel bad but he won't. She's beautiful don't get me wrong" he looked at Alice "but the last time Lee brought her actions up to Fred he only compared her to you 'well she doesn't have Cora's dark curly hair, Cora's light eyes, Cora's smile' he would just go on about you. I do hope you two work things out in the end, I think you complete him"

  "I hope we work things out too" I said looking at Fred who pushed Alice's hand off of his chest "but I don't want to hold him back"

  "Only time will tell"

I walked over to Harry Ron and Hermione who were looking out the window suspiciously
  "What's going on?" I asked them

Harry took out his invisibility cloak
  "Come on"

I walked into the cloak with the three of them and we walked out of the building
  "Where are we going?"

  "We saw Malfoy with his mother, they looked like they didn't want to be followed" Harry said

We were walking in between other Wizards, careful to not bump into anyone with a group as big as us

  "So we're following him" Ron said "he looked off"

  "I haven't heard from him all summer, all my letters have been returned" I told them "I'm worried about him"

We continued following the path they saw him walk down until we watched him and his mother walk into a shop called
  Borgin and Burkes
  "That's odd"

They looked at me under the cloak
  "What?" Harry asked

  "That store is filled with dark objects, ive gone in a few times with Corban...it's a creepy shop really"

  "What's he doing in there?" Hermione asked

  "Someone needs to go inside and spy" Harry suggested "Cora you go in it won't be as suspicious if he sees you"

  "If he's doing something suspicious he won't in front of me I can tell you that" I said worried "I hope he isn't in trouble, that's all that shop is"

  "Let's all go in, the door is about to be opened, we can sneak in" Ron suggested

We all quickly walked behind someone who opened the front door
They looked around, saw Draco and then quickly left again

  "Filthy mudblood coming into my store" the shop owner said "I'm sorry about that Mr.Malfoy"

Draco didn't say anything, he just stood next to his mother

We all hid behind a cabinet, being as quiet as a group of four of us could be

  "As I was saying" Draco said, he showed him something on his arm
The shop owner gasped slightly
  "My family is friends with Fenrir Greyback and related to Bellatrix Lestrange. You'll do well to remember who you're dealing with. One of my objects needs to stay safe here, I trust that you can do that?"

  "Yes Mr.Malfoy of course" the owner said "it will stay safe here"

Draco looked around the shop and then back at him
  "If anyone finds out about this...you know what will happen"

  "No one will, your secret is safe"

Draco took his mother's hand and began walking away with her
I felt for his emotions
So much bitterness, he's so angry but I could feel sadness inside him as well
I wish I could talk to him...
They exited the door and the shop owner looked around nervously
  "Oh my oh my" he said again and again pacing

We waited for another customer to walk in, and when they did we exited the building

When we got outside I looked around for Draco, I didn't see him anywhere so we took off the cloak in an alley way

  "Still think he's innocent?" Harry asked "he's up to something did you see what he showed the shop owner?? It has to be the dark mark"

  "Draco isn't a bad wizard, that wasn't the dark mark" I said unsurely

  "Then explain him using the name Bellatrix and Fenrir as a threat" Ron said

  "His father is in Azkaban, he's probably being forced to do something for his family"

No one said anything, but I could feel their distrust for him
No matter what they say, I know Draco
I know he wouldn't do anything he wasn't being forced to, he's a good person he's always been that way to me
