Chapter 71

It was the day of the summer holidays and Pandora was entering the Hogwarts train. Nearly all the seats were occupied except the one cabin at the back.
Muffles and whispers surrounded Pandora as she opened the cabin door and sat down, taking out a book.
Why was everyone staring?!
Anger bubbled in Pandora as her healthy grip on her wand loosened the moment she saw Harry Potter and his two besties.

"Get out!"
Sneered Pandora, the tension thick.

"We were here first you little tw-"

"Little mudblood if you dare complete that sentence your tongue won't be there in the next 30 seconds!"
Draco insulted, opening the cabinet door.

Pandora smiled at him, enjoying his words.

"Let's go to the other cabin Pandora."
Draco softly said, patiently waiting for a reply.

Pandora stood up, glaring daggers at the others as she walked out with Draco.

They sat down in an empty cabin, silently eyeing where the rain endlessly splattered against the window.

"I'm sorry for all of that Pandora."
Draco plopped out.

Pandora glanced at Draco, scanning for sincerity.

"I- I was foolish, I didn't know what i- felt, I thought it was love and-"

Pandora gazed at him, her verdant eyes sparkling in empathy, "Draco, I- don't know!"

The rest of the train ride was tight-lipped, with not a single sound out.

16 hours later:

Pandora and Draco had arrived in the manor and we were downstairs for dinner.

Cutlery tinkered and toyed against the porcelain plates, Pandora's hand shook as she placed a spoonful of parsnips on her plate.

"Are you enjoying your dinner, ivy?"
Narcissa grimaced.

"Yes, -miss Malfoy."
Pandora coldly replied.

"I've scrutinized that you've got your hair fixed."
Lucius remarked mockingly.

"Yes Sir."

Draco stared at his lap, trembling uncontrollably the whole time.

Pandora placed her hand in a gesture of reassurance.

"Malfoys don't pathetically shake Draco, why won't you ever grow up!"
Lucius taunted.

"-sorry -f-fa-"

"Do not stutter at me, now go to your room you disgrace."

Draco stared apologetically.

"NOW!"

Pandora silently wiped a tear off her cheek.
Draco didn't deserve any of this.

----

Weeks had passed by and Draco was getting taunted and mocked endlessly by Lucius, like usual they were eating their dinner in the cold dining room.

Everything was perfect before she 'ruined their reputation.'
She always had to ruin something perfect.

Pandora was looking down at the perfectly seasoned potatoes and asparagus on her plate before taking some steak and chewing on it.

"So Ivy, are you excited to go to school tomorrow?"
Narcissa asked, not bothering to look at Pandora's face.

Lucius glared at Narcissa.

"Um yes, Miss Malfoy - I uh."

"Stop stuttering."
Lucius shoved in.

Draco glared at Lucius while Narcissa smiled.

"Yes. I am excited to go, is that what you want to hear?!"

"Don't you dare raise your voice at me you little brat"
Warned both lucius and Narcissa.

"Or what?!"

"We all know I saved you from that little orphanage and I can assure you I can take you back!"
Lucius snapped.

Tears flooded Pandora's vision as she stood up, ignoring Narcissa's protests of her being a disgrace to the family.
