Since Dumbledore died, Snape has been headmaster. The halls are silent, rows of students walked at the same pace, everything was so dark. Feasts weren't nearly as good and most importantly, my three Gryffindor friends have completely vanished from the premises, I haven't seen them in months. I had no idea where they were, Voldemort has sent wizards out to search for them but they thankfully haven't had any luck.

Within these past few months of being back, Draco and I have been in control of all houses, we have to walk them to their common rooms and make sure their main door wouldn't budge.

This time last year, I'd be preparing for my end of the year tests but those got cut so our first day of summer is June 2 instead of the 14. Voldemort now has control over everything.

"That's the last of them" Draco whispered right after he put a smell on Ravenclaws main door. I didn't respond and began to walk back towards the Slytherin common room. "Hey" He gently grabbed my wrist.

"I'm leaving for the Burrow as soon as we get out of here." I proposed, his eyes began to narrow in confusion. "I have to find them, Draco." I placed my hand ontop of his that was still holding onto my wrist.

"What are you going to say to everyone?"

"Nothing. I'll be gone for a day, if not, less."

"Ok, then I'm coming with you."

A smile rose to my lips.

Draco and I snuck over to Mcgonagalls office right as everyone was heading down to the train. Once we arrived, I quietly knocked on the door. The door swung open, we cautiously walked in and saw her folding her clothes by hand and placing them in her trunk. She swiftly walked towards her door and closed it.

"If anyone finds out about this, we can get in a lot of trouble." She furrowed her eyebrows, making sure we understood.

"We wont tell a soul, are you sure this is completely safe? They wont see that we've used the powder?" I asked.

"Of course not, you don't possibly think I'd put you in danger, right?" She anxiously asked.

After a brief conversation, Draco and I used floo powder in Mcgonagalls fireplace in order to end up at the Burrow.

"We have to make this quick." I whispered as we walked across the lawn. I looked around at all the unique decorations Mrs. Weasley had always had up year round.

Once we made it to the door, I gave three firm knocks. Within thirty seconds, the door swung open, Mrs. Weasley stood with her arms opened wide, "Hey you two!" She moved aside so we could come inside.

"Mrs. Weasley, I'm so sorry to come unexpectedly. We can't stay long, they might start to suspect something. We've been worried about Harry, Ron and, Hermione... do you have any idea where they could be?" I bit down on my lip, eager to get out of here as soon as wen can before we get caught.

"Well..." She sighed and looked as if she were wondering whether or not to say anything.

"Mrs. Weasley, we are on your side, we just want to talk to them." I reassured.

"They're somewhere in the muggle world... I hardly ever see the three of them and when I do, they're occupying the shower or taking all my food" She began to laugh.

"When exactly do you see them?"

"Once a week, usually on Wednesdays, it was Friday once."

"Is it possible we come back two Wednesday's from now?" I asked, my stomach swarming with a horrible gut feeling.

"I don't see why not!" She smiled, her eyes fell down to the baggage we never set down, "I don't want to keep you two" She gave us a small smile before she pulled us both in for a tight hug.

"Stay safe you two"

I looked behind my shoulder at Draco who'd been heavily sleeping. Without making any noise, I reached into my trunk and grabbed a small rectangular box that was covered with sleek black wrapping paper. I slowly made my way towards him.

"Happy birthday." I whispered in his ear, shortly after I placed a kissed on his cheek.

I watched as his lips slowly curved up, his eyes met mine. Before either of us spoke another word, he held my waist and pulled me onto the bed with him. He nestled his head in my neck and held my around my waist, his eyes shutting again.

"Best present ever." He quietly mumbled.

"I actually got you something." I whispered.

He slowly sat up, "We talked about this, no presents." He sighed.

"Yeah well... I just thought maybe this once." I smirked at him while I shoved the box against his bare chest. He playfully rolled his eyes and grabbed the box, I noticed how he didn't rip the wrapping paper, he made sure to uncover it without ripping it. "The paper can't feel, you know?" I chuckled as I watched him concentrate.

"Shush, I'm almost done anyways..."

He slowly pulled the paper from the box, glancing up at me and smiling.

"I noticed you were almost out of your other bottle." I smiled back at him.

I got him a bottle of his favorite cologne.

"I love it, Y/n... thank you." He looked back down at it, I wondered when the last time he recieved a present was.
