"Hey, you coming to the Gryffindor Quidditch practice?" Asked Hermione as she put her beanie and gloves on. "Yeah just give me a minute, I'll meet you there." I responded, trying to find my gloves and scar.

Hermione sighed, "Okay then, don't take too long." "I won't!" I shouted after she left.

All of our classes ended about an hour ago. Ron and Ginny signed up for Quidditch. Of course Hermione and I are going to go see them, not to mention Harry got signed as Quidditch captain. Congrats to him.

"Carol." I said, sitting down at my desk waiting for an answer from the crystal ball. I grabbed my gloves and put them on.

"Carol!" I yelled. "What Eva? I'm in the middle of a meeting right now." He finally responded.

"I don't care. My new potions Professor Slughorn. He knows about you and mum." I said. "Wait who?" He asked furiously. "Professor Slughorn." I was annoyed.

Honestly this feels like I'm being a spy. Is this what it feels like to become a Death Eater? A spy? Am I their spy? And whatever I tell my uncle goes to the Dark Lord? What the fuck am I getting into?

"Slughorn, he was me and your mum's potions Professor too." My uncle responded. "What did he say about us?" "Nothing, he just called me Ellen and asked me how she was after Voldemort returned."

"Hm. Anything else?" Carol asked. "He almost exposed me." I sighed, putting my scarf on. "How?"

"Well uncle Carol it's not easy to have only one Death Eater named Carol and Slughorn knows you're my uncle so." I said sarcastically. "Who else was with you?" "Malfoy." I said. "Shit." Carol mumbled.

I'm confused. Is it bad Malfoy almost heard? I mean yes duh I don't want anyone to find out including him but his dad is a Death Eater. Holy shit. Nope. No. He's not.

"Go on, I'll tell the Dark Lord what you got so far." "I've got nothin-" I got cut off as Carol left and the crystal ball went out.

"Oh come on." I groaned, getting up and leaving the dormitory.

I was on my way towards the Quidditch field. It was almost fall and summer was fading away. It's starting to get more chilly and windy. Personally I love fall and winter, but also summer because there is no school.

I heard footsteps coming from behind me. I turned around to see Malfoy. Oh you've got to be shitting me right now.

"Malfoy what do you want?" I snapped at him. "Honestly it's been one day and you can't get your dirty little eyes off me." My eyes widened the second I finished that sentence.

There is no way I just said that to Malfoy.

"Jeesh you're in a bad mood." Malfoy scoffed. "Well no shit. I'm trying to see Ginny and Ron at Quidditch practice and you're in my way." I rolled my eyes.

"So if you don't mind, I'm gonna get going." I pushed past him and continued to walk.

"Would you like to get butterbeer with me?" Malfoy spoke up. I stopped walking. I turned around and looked at him.
