Summer's Over: The Start of a War

Where Are You

I dropped the note but before it touched the ground it flew back up into the air and his voice whispered loudly through the paper "tick-tock" before ripping itself to shreds and burning in mid-air. 

I threw myself onto my bed with complete frustration before I heard pounding at my door. I groaned loudly and stood up angrily. I stormed over to the door and opened it to be faced with Draco. 

"What do you want?" I asked, beginning to walk to my bed. But I was pulled back by Draco. He didn't say anything he just kept pulling me. "Where are we going?" I asked as he looked around. He took us up to the 5th year's floor and looked around the halls. 

I planted my feet and ripped my hand away from his. He looked back at me and tried to grab it again but I stepped back. "We have to hurry." He said, looking at me confused. "You do not get to ditch me at breakfast and then pull me all the way up here without an explanation." I snapped. 

"I found it!" He snapped back, my eyes went wide and my heart had completely dropped down the rest of the way into my stomach. That's exactly what I hoped he wouldn't say. I walked with him and he stopped in front of a big blank wall. 

"This is a fucking wall Malfoy," I said, dropping my hands down. "No fucking shit dumbass." He snapped before closing his eyes. I looked at him and he just stood there with his eyes shut. I was annoyed and about to leave when I felt dust fall from the wall. 

Soon there were engravings along the wall and two huge doors appeared. My breath hitched as I didn't want to go in. I didn't want to do this for Voldemort. I just want to wake up from this absolute nightmare! 

Draco opened the door and took my hand he walked in and I followed as I looked back seeing Filch starting to run towards us. "Draco- run!" I said shoving him in the room and slamming the door shut.

"We need to hide," I said looking around. "The doors disappear behind us, darling. No need to worry for now." He said softly, he guided me to the cabinet, and my chest was rising and falling heavily as it stood sleek and tall before us. 

"Well fuck me," I muttered as I ran my hand up the cabinet. Beginning to open the door. "Under different circumstances, I'd love to." Draco teased back as he sat on a nearby couch. I stepped in and admired the cabinet that I had to repair with the platinum blonde sitting across from me. 

I walked out and sighed, flopping down next to him. "How do you suppose we fix this?" He asked. "You're asking the wrong person, my love," I responded, leaning my head on him. "We're fucked." He whispered. 

"Don't say that Malfoy, we'll figure this out together, we always do," I said, looking up and kissing him softly. "When's lunch?" He asked, pushing some hair away from my face. "Few hours, but we can go get you something small from the great hall now if you want," I replied. 

I grabbed his hand and we stood up, we walked to the great hall and Draco was getting something small to eat when professor McGonagall walked in with two girls following her. "This is the great hall, we eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner here obviously." She said, sighing. 

She spotted me looked relieved. "Oh good, y/l/n! Would you please come here?" She asked and I nodded. I walked over and approached her smiling. "Yes, professor?" I asked looking back at the girls who were whispering to each other. 

She pushed the girls towards me and sighed heavily once more. "Do you mind showing the girls around? I need to help the first years." She asked, looking around. "Sure professor, if you need anything else please let me know," I replied and she smiled at me. 

She nodded at me and ran off and the two girls looked at me and smiled nervously. I smiled back and stuck my hands out. "Hi, I'm y/n, it's nice to meet you," I said first before I felt Draco standing behind me holding a green apple.
