The Facade

Chapter 19

Malfoy opened his door, and I noticed his surprise at seeing me already awake and reading a book this early.

I quickly locked away from him back to my book, not with the nearly intention of sending any word his way. I heard him sigh from where he stood, probably realizing I would still mad, and with very much a reason to it.

He was smart enough to not address me anything either, at least he had the common sense to that. Better to leave me with my thoughts than having a heated-up argument before an important reunion.

The kettle I had placed warming up on the kitchen started whistling.

I stood up from the couch, deciding it was time to put my work onto motion. Last time I had managed to solutions, the one I was about to do was the easiest but quite risky, and the last one was definitely only in a last resort as I have yet to study the consequences it might have.

I walked into the kitchen and retrieved the kettle; with my wand I made the hot water pour itself onto a mug with a tea bag inside of it.

I glanced from the corner of my eye without raising any attention nor suspicious to spot where Malfoy was standing, he was over his desk, folding a piece of parchment I recognized as being the Ministry map, and a smaller one on top of it which should be the note regarding the Order’s reunion. My plan consisted in a lot of things I could not control and I highly despised that.

I noticed he had come out of his room already with his coat on. He walked towards the kitchen where I was hovering by the mug, and was now reaching for my sugar. He was probably about to make his morning coffee, just like I had hoped for, and would be a vantage or my plan to work.

I placed a teaspoon of sugar onto my tea, and as I mixture it with the spoon I turned around and begun walking forward as if I didn’t have glimpsed Malfoy walking my way.

We shook before he managed to dodge away from me, and the tea I was carrying spilled all over his jacket.

He merely grunted due to the hotness of the tea, I pretended to be frustrated for having wasted my tea on his clothes.

“Next time see where you’re walking.” I hissed.

“You’re the one that bumped into me.” He argued calmly.

“I don’t care.” I said firmly and walked back to place the mug back onto the kitchen counter.

He sighed. “Never mind that. I’ll just get my wand and dry it clean.” He said.

He was being predictable, I knew he felt sort of pity for me, he comprehended me for being upset and didn’t make any move that could end up in a fight, I respected that gest of him.

I saw as he dropped his jacket onto the floor. I almost smirked he would take time searching for his wand, he couldn’t summon it as I placed something heavy on top of it for it not be able to be summoned and give me some time.

The second his silhouette disappeared behind his bedroom door I quickly made my way towards his desk and grabbed the small piece of parchment resting above the Ministry map.

I glanced at Malfoy’s bedroom, he couldn’t see me from where he was inside the room, the door was only slightly opened, and I was glad for it, that way he couldn’t witness me reading the note, but I still had to be quick, I quickly opened it to read the inside.

Draco,

Excuse me for writing back so late, but we discussed and agreed to aid in your plan.

We are to meet me in Spinner’s End near Severus childhood house, at ten in point tomorrow morning.

You are to come alone.
