To The Moon And Back

Chapter 3

My first class was potions and I was dreading it. If I wasn't friends with Draco i would be absolutely fucked when it came to this class. Two years of tutoring from Draco and I became an expert at it. Bea, however is a lost case. I looked at the potion she was making and saw how it turned into an ugly brown colour.

"Hey! Don't laugh at me. I'm trying my best," she scowled. I snorted and carried on making mine. Snape came around to check everyone's potions. He nodded his head at mine, which by the way is the most you can get out of him when it comes to his approval, and scrunched his nose looking at Bea's. She sighed and threw herself on her chair.

"I give up." she said rolling her eyes and fixing her hair.

I was looking forward to lunch because I was so hungry from my classes today. Bea already made her way to the great hall to go speak with her sister, Luna. Something about the nargles i'm sure. I walked to the great hall with Draco, laughing at how Crabbe and Goyle fell asleep cuddling on the couch last night.

"I'm telling you, Sage they woke up with their faces all red!" he exclaimed which just made me laugh harder.

"Fucking hell who's slamming a cat on the wall oh- it's just you, Rivers." I turned around and saw Fred Weasley with Selena Paul. She was this tall, dark-skinned girl with amazing fucking hair.

"Fuck off Weaselbee," Draco sneered getting his wand ready.

"Draco, put your wand away. Nothing is happening."I said while removing his wand from his hands.

"Yeah listen to your girlfriend, Malfoy." Fred snickered back.

"I'm not his girlfriend Weasley. Have you got nothing better to do because you're that sad and lonely you go around playing who's dating who?" I glared at him crossing my arms over my chest.

Before he could speak, Selena opened her mouth, "Shut up, Rivers. Don't YOU have anything better to do that to torment poor Freddie over here. Go help your dad escape from Azkaban first and see if Daddy will help his little girl become a death eater." She sneered, smiling feeling proud of herself.

Draco pulled me away after swearing violently at the pair. I couldn't even make out what he was saying as Selena's words began to spiral all over my head. The only thing I heard was Fred saying, "Don't call me Freddie. You know only George can call me that, Selena."

Soon enough I found myself at the Slytherin table with Draco and Blaise talking about their hatred for the Weasleys. I gave an odd reply here and there to show I was listening but I had bigger things on my mind.

My father. James Rivers. A world known death eater. My mother died when I was younger and her last words were her telling my father to take care of me. And to not fall into any traps. At the time, I didn't know what she meant but everything happening with the Dark Lord made it crystal clear. I just assumed her death had something to do with that bastard. My father took care of me until the age of 14 when he started to become abusive, forcing me to carry out these horrid tasks for him so that he can satisfy the dark Lord. He fell into the very trap my mother told him not to.

I was transferred from Durmstrang after his imprisonment in Azkaban and was put under the protection of Dumbledore. He acts like a god father to me. Although, Harry Potter became jealous of me real quick and thought I was here to kill him but Dumbledore explained everything to him and now we are good friends.

My bastard of a father left me no money. Well, there's money but I don't have access to it. I work as a waitress with Bea some days to earn a little money just to cover some expenses. Everything else is paid for by Dumbledore. I'm forever grateful for him but I knew my father and I know one day he will escape and try to take me with him. It's a constant nightmare I have, just preparing myself for the day it happens.

"Sage you barely touched your food. What's going on?" Bea came up to our table after talking with Luna.

I shrugged, "I'm not hungry." I put the fork down on my plate and looked up to see Fred staring at me. It wasn't a horrible glare as usual this time it was more sympathetic.

"I need to leave. I want to get some rest." I got up and kissed Bea and Draco on the cheek saying goodbye and made my way to exit the hall.

Fred's eyes were following me but I didn't have time for his insults and games. I needed to be on my own.
