Snape's Daughter (Draco Malfoy)

Part 11

I wake up to Draco shaking me.

"What?" I say.

"You have mail," he says handing me a letter.

I look at the letter with my name on it, but it doesn't look like my grandmother's handwriting. I open it up and all the blood drains from my face. No, no,no! this can't be happening! It just can't! Draco sees my expression and holds me.

"What's wrong?" he questions.

I burst into tears, "My grandmother, she's dead," I sob. Draco just holds me, rubbing my back, saying nothing. After what seemed like an hour, we get ready and go to the kitchen.

Lucius and father already left and Narcissa is cleaning up. She sees my puffy eyes and asks what's wrong. I try to speak but nothing comes out.

"She just got word that her grandmother died," Draco says for me.

She raps her arms around me and says, "Oh, my dear child, I'm so sorry,"

I've never really had a mother figure around, seeing as my mother died when I was young.

Narcissa makes us some breakfast as I just stare at the table wishing this is just a dream.

"Well, there is some good news, we get to go to the Quidditch World Cup," Draco say.

"Awesome! I've always wanted to go!" I say.

All day we just hung around doing nothing.

When father came home I run and hug him.

"What is wrong, child?" he asks.

"Grandmother died," I whisper.

"I'm truly sorry. I knew how much you loved her," he says.

Later I got an owl from my grandmother's friend saying the funeral was in four days.

"Father, Grandmother's funeral is in four days, can Draco and I go?" I ask.

"You can go, but you'll have to ask Narcissa or Lucius if Draco can go," he says.

I look for Narcissa and find her knitting, "Narcissa?"

"Yes, darling?"

"My grandmother's funeral is in four days and I was wondering if Draco could come with me?"

"Of course. Where is it?"

"It's in Haxby which is a small town in North Yorkshire,"

"Okay, when will you be leaving?"

"It's a twelve hour train ride so we'll leave tomorrow. We'll be staying with a family friend,"

"That's fine. Just send an owl when you get there,"

"Okay, goodnight,"

"Goodnight darling,"

I walk to Draco's room to tell him to pack. Then I start packing. After an hour of packing I get finished and I go into Draco's room and fall asleep.
