Belinda was packing her bag with a few dresses when Draco walked into her room.

"You're only going out for a few hours what's the bag for?"

"For when I convince uncle that Astoria's invited me over."

Draco pulled her in for a bear hug and squeezed her hard.

"Your ribs are piercing my boobs."

He let her breathe a bit and continued to hold her.

"I know you're sorry. But it wasn't your fault."

"It was."

"Please stop making this so difficult. Im over it, you should be too."

"Fine." He said letting go. "Wherever you're going, just be careful." He swung her bag over his shoulder and walked her downstairs. "You'll have to wait a bit. Snape arrived not too long ago. He's talking with dad in his study."

Her anxiety was now through the roof, but them she calmed down when she realized most of the death eaters were in the manor. Still, her nerves started up again thinking about how Narcissa told Lucius everything. Draco walked her towards the front door and placed her bag on the floor.

"I'm going to wait for uncle right here."

"Alright. Well if I don't see you for a while."

Draco gave her a kiss on her head and squeezed her shoulder. She watched him walk back upstairs, hopefully to stay in his room. He didn't need the extra stress.

"Leaving so soon?"

She jumped before quickly recovering and rolling her eyes.

"I have to. These walls get tighter believe it or not." She said referring to the house. Corbin had a smirk on his face the entire time.

"Well I had no intention of exploring your walls but if you wanted to get straight to it-"

"Piss off."

He chuckled and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

"How's your hand?"

"Fine."

He gently took her wrist and undid her bandage.

"Healing nicely..... just try not to put too much pressure on it."

She kept her eyes on him carefully, neither of them knowing her aunt and mother were giggling behind the corner.

"Why do you look at me as if I'm some terrorist?" He teased.

"Because I don't know your intentions..... my family's been involved with the dark lord for years now and I've only ever seen you at Draco's initiation."

"I keep to myself. Is that a crime?"

"Belinda!"

She heard her uncle's voice and noticed Corbin still had her wrist in hand. She snatched it away and when she turned Lucius stood with Severus at his side.

"I'd appreciate if you kept an understandable distance from my niece, Selwyn."

"Just making sure there's no nerve damage in her hand, Mr Malfoy."

"There is none." Severus snapped. With hands now in his pockets, Corbin looked at Severus and laughed in his face. He then turned his gaze to Belinda, who didn't know what to say.

"See you around." He said to her. Lucius shook his head and turned his attention back to his niece.

"Well darling, Severus' has offered to escort you to diagon alley. That is where you're meeting Astoria?"
