Unexpected.

Unexpected. (Chapter: 7.)

"Yes, I am sure." My voice was confident, even though I wasn't. I didn't have a choice but to be in this now. I walked away from him, and sat on the bed. He did the same, and made a face at the room. I couln't help but roll my eyes at him. It wasn't that bad. Sure it was not in pristine condition, but it had character?

"Do you want to eat?" I shook my head no, I was not hungry. I was still in shock. I can't believe this. A couple days ago I was expecting to go on the train to Hogwarts, sit with Pansy, and make fun of Draco. Not be in a relationship with him. It was hard to fathom that he was the same person. It seemed impossible. He is so sweet, and caring. Which gave me an idea.

"We should go back." I stood up, and looked out the window.

"What? Are you crazy?!" He jumped off the bed, and turned me away from the window. 

"No. He will be looking for us. Both of us! He won't kill you, you are useful to him. I am as well. We are his only way inside Hogwarts." I swallowed hard. "And to Harry." God, I hated to think like that, but it was true. I grabbed my bag, and he grabbed his. I took hold of his hands, and shut my eyes. My stomach twisted, and then it was over. We were standing outside Malfoy Manner. 

"Get inside both of you!" There was now a death eater next to us. He dragged us inside, and threw us to the ground. 

"How dare you touch her!" I heard my fathers voice boom, and there was a hand infront of me. Draco. I took it and he helped me up. I fixed my clothes briefly, they were crumpled from being thrown. I then looked up. My father was standing there patiently, waiting. He gave me a look, as if to ask if I was done, I nodded. "Good, now both of you come with me." I grabbed Draco's hand, and we followed him into the meeting room. We took our seats. There was empty spaces where my mother would have sat. As well as Draco's parents, and a few others. He took a breath, and began. "I am very disappointed in you. Leaving like that." He was staring at us. Disappointment meant punishment, and I already wanted to cringe.

"I am sorry. We, I, I was scared." I swaloowed hard, and Draco squeezed my hand. He nodded, and sat down.

"I see. I will be merciful Lord this time." With that he looked at everyone else. "As most know Bellatrix Lestrange attempted to kill me!" His voice boomed. "She is now being tortured as we speak!" I squeezed Draco's hand, and thought of my mother. My father looked towards me, as if he was expecting me to scram or cry, but I stayed silent. "As is Narcissa Malfoy." This time it was Draco's turn to squeeze my hand. "Of course Narcissa will survive. Belatrix on the other hand, will not be so lucky." I squeezed my eyes shut, took a breath, and reopened them. "Lucius is experiencing equal treatment. Seems like Draco is the only trustworthy Malfoy." Everyone laughed, Draco was silent.  The meeting ended, and we were rushed to our bedroom, and locked in. I screamed when we entered, to let out the frustration. Draco quickly covered my mouth, and shook his head no. I could feel the tears begin to flow.  He held me and let me cry, while he did the same. We both fell apart, together.
