Death Eaters Daughter Part Two

Two Hundred Fourteen

  "Harry this is for you" Ginny said coming over to our table
We were sitting together with Neville and Luna at the Three broomsticks bar
Harry bought me a nonalcoholic butter beer to enjoy with everyone

  "Thanks, sit with us?" He asked her

She sat closely to Harry and rested her head on his shoulder
The two of them had plans to go to a few stores together alone but she wasn't feeling well so we decided to stick together until the carriages arrived for her to go back to her dorm in
Luna assured Harry she would go with Ginny and make sure she was ok

After a few drinks we all headed outside
Ginny and Luna took off together while Harry Ron Hermione and I walked around the shops
Neville left to go find Seamus and Dean, he's still awkward around me
I wish he would just get over it, it's not that big of a deal
Maybe he's actually afraid of Draco

Christmas was coming soon, I wanted to buy gifts for my friends but everyone was here so I decided I would at a later time
We walked by the treat shop, I saw loads of chocolates in the window
  "Do you think my dad is going to hate me forever? Don't say he doesn't, he does"

Hermione hugged me from behind
  "Forever is a long time, I think for the moment he's broken. Let him find himself again, I don't mean forgive him either. He has to apologize for the way he's treated you, it's not right"

  "Fred wants me to see the loft over the holiday"

  "Does he now" she said smirking "I think he is under the impression that you two will get together again"

  "I don't see that happening anytime soon"

  "Does he know that?"

I didn't answer her
I didn't know how
Hermione is supportive of me, but she wouldn't be if she found out that I wanted to be with Draco
She isn't as obsessed with the idea that he's a death eater as Harry but she still feels uncomfortable that his father caused us trouble
She thinks he's just like him, I can't tell her the truth

We continued walking through Hogsmeade
Molly's enchanted items have been a blessing today, Hermione has even asked to share my scarf to stay warm in the frigid wind
Most of the shops were open, but a few of them had boarded up their windows
  "Are things really that bad right now?"

  "People are afraid of him" Hermione said solemnly "they would rather their business shut down than to risk death eaters attacking them in the open"

  "Remember when no one believed us"

  "I do" she said

  "Nothing would have changed if they did or didn't" Harry said coming into our conversation "there was no stopping him coming back, he has followers who are loyal...speaking of I haven't seen Draco here doesn't he usually go to Hogsmeade?"

I rolled my eyes
  "He used to yes, what are you getting at?"

  "Everyone is here, he can easily get around the school without being caught"

  "And what is he doing that he can't risk getting caught with?"

  "I don't know" he admitted "but—" we heard a scream coming from in front of us
The four of us ran towards the yelling, worried that someone was in trouble

When we arrived on scene we saw Katy Bell being suspended in the air with a box underneath her
  "Katy?!" I yelled "let's get her down"

All four of us including her friend grabbed her legs and tried pulling her down from the air
  "Someone needs to get a teacher!!" Hermione yelled

Katy wouldn't stop screaming, she was going to hurt herself if we let go so we held on while Harry ran towards Hogwarts for help
I kept looking down at the box though, it called to me I wasn't sure if anything else felt this but it wanted me to pick it up too
A few minutes went by and Harry returned running alongside Hagrid

Katy finally dropped from the sky, Hermione Ron her friend and I helped her to the ground gently as we could
We laid her on the snow while we waited for Hagrid to get to us

I looked at the box on the ground
What is this...
Why do you call to me?

Bring me to Dumbledore

I looked at the necklace curiously

Bring me to Dumbledore

I squatted down to look at it more
It was opened, inside was a necklace that looked old
Did she buy an antique while she was here
I want to touch it
I heard my name but I couldn't help my hands from moving closer to the object
I barely touched it, but when I did it sent me flying backwards into a tree

  "Cora!!" I heard Harry say

  "Don't touch that!!" Hagrid yelled at the rest of our group "don't go anywhere near it"

I lifted my head to see Harry Hermione and Ron all running towards me
  "You alright??" Harry asked

I got off the ground, but my legs felt wobbly so I sat back down
  "What the fuck was that?" I said holding the back of my head
I looked at my hand, no blood but my head was pounding now

  "It's cursed Hagrid said, he tried yelling at you to not touch it but it was like you were enchanted to it. I wonder if Katy felt the same way you're lucky you didn't get cursed too" Hermione said

  "My legs aren't working properly" I said trying to get up again but failing "I think someone's going to have to carry me back to the school"

  "I'll carry you" Ron suggested
He turned around and put his hands out to hold me on his back
Hermione helped me up and onto him so we could all begin walking back to the school
By now the carriages were gone so we had no choice but to walk back
