Ivory Malfoy

It's Over

We hug, I'm crying and he's saying 'shhh' to calm me down.

"Hang on.  I'll be right back."  He says and walks over to Harry who had just walked in.

"What's your name?"  The red headed girl asks.

"Ivory Malfoy."  I respond.

"I'm Ginny Weasley.  You wanna come over to meet some of my friends?"  She asked, offering her hand.

"You - you aren't mad at me?"  I ask.

"Why would I be?"  She says smiling sweetly.

"Because I went over with Moldywarts."  I say.

"No, of course not. You call him Moldywarts?"

"Father says not to use his name, so I don't."  I say.  "But personally, I think it fits him."

She laughs and I take her hand and smile.  She leads me over to a girl with brown hair thrown back in a ponytail.

"This is Hermione Granger.  Hermione, this is Ivory Malfoy."

"Nice to meet you Ivory.  So. . .  How did you get here?"  She asks, pulling me onto the table she's sitting on.

"Well, Draco left his old school books in his room, and, um, I sort of read them while he was at school."  I blush and look down.  "So, I. . .  Apparated here."

"You apparated?"  Ginny asked.

I nodded.

"You like to read?"  Hermione asks.

I smile and nod quickly and excitedly.

"Same here!"  She said.

Ginny laughed as Hermione and I started to talk about Hogwarts a History.  A favorite for both of us.

"Someone's found a study buddy."  Ginny muttered.

Mione and I laughed.

"Do you know what your patronus is?"  Ginny laughed.

I shook my head.

"Why don't you try it?"  Hermione asked.

I nodded and stood up on the bench.  I thought of Draco, Hermione, Ginny and I sitting and having a pic nic, laughing and talking on the beach.

"Expecto Patronum!"  I yelled.

A thestral errupted from the tip of my wand and flew aroung the room.  The whole Great Hall (or what was left of it atleast) fell silent and stared at me.

"Hi."  I said timadly and sat down again by Mione.

Ginny and Mione both started to laugh, I stared at them, with my emotionless face.  Draco came over with Harry.

"What was that?"  He asked.

"A thestral."  I replied honestly.

"Give it a rest Draco."  Harry said between laughs.

"I'm hilarious I know."  I said.

"How modest."  He replied.

Hermione was on the floor with laughter and Ginny was close to it.  Harry had his hand on Draco's shoulder to keep himself upright.  People were starting to stare.  Ginny stopped laughing abruptly.

"Harry, did you call Malfoy Draco?"  She asked.

"Yep."  Harry said.

"Blimey Harry, I didn't know you guys were on a first name basis."  A ginger boy said.

"Well, Draco explainded everything."  Harry began.

"Like how I was forced to be a total bit - jerk,"  He changed half way because I was there.  "to you the whole time at school and how I begged now to become a Death Eater, but he tortured Ivory infront of me and threatened her life.  I had no choice."

I blushed and looked down.  He wrapped one arm around me.

"Who knew Draco Malfoy had a heart?"  Ginny asked.

"Not me."  Hermione, the ginger boy and Harry said in unison.

It was Draco's turn to blush.  "Well, we'd better go."  Draco said.

"Aww.  Just a little longer?"  I asked.

"Ivory."  He whined.

"You better go."  Mione said, pulling me into a hug.

"I promise I'll write to you!"  Ginny said hugging me.

"Me too."  Mione said.

"Kk!"  I said and grabbed Draco's arm and we were back at the Manor.
