Laura;

My heart raced.
Harry was here. At Malfoy Manor and he just saw Constance's baby. How would he react when he saw my engagement ring?

I remember how Constance did;

"Put this on." Voldemort ordered, handing me a gold ring with a green emerald on it. Just a simple pear cut, with no shine.
I grimaced, but put it on anyways.
"Also, Constance has heard rumours that you were here so go and see her just to clear them up." I looked up t him and gave him a questioning look, Did he really mean that? But was I really ready to go and see my friend whom I abandoned.
After I didn't respond to him he just grumbled and disapparated with Nagini. Leaving me to battle myself.

I missed her. I missed my best friend.
I missed the way shed laugh at my lame jokes and give me advice.

After finally deciding to go and see her, I did.

.

"Hi." She whispered with a smile, she was rested on the sofa with her Feet on Draco's lap and her head on a soft pillow. Her stomach was big, causing her shirt to rise up and show her humongous belly.

That night was when we talked for hours, reminding each other of past memories.

I walked down the stairs of Malfoy Manor and followed the sound of the commotion. My heels clicked against the white marble and my dress blew softly with the speed I was walking, my hair was constantly falling to cover my face. Making me blow it or attempt to tuck it behind my ear.

"You had her." I heard Harry whisper, followed by light crying from Ophelia. My heart felt heavy as I heard Harry's voice. Oh how i missed his touch. His kisses. His warmth. Butterflies swarmed my stomach but I ignored the feeling as soon as I caught a glance at the ring on my hand.
"I did." Constance spoke dryly, "She's 6 months old."
Harry drew out a breath, "What's her name?" His voice was strained. Bellatrix took a step forward and raised an eyebrow at Harry, "What should it matter to you?" Bellatrix sneered, "It's none of your business."
"Enough Bella." Narcissa whispered harshly and pulled her sister back. They silently bickered but Constance still answered his question.
"Ophelia." I stood at the threshold in the shadows and watched as Harry was standing there with Constance two feet in front of him.
"Ophelia Annabelle Eve Malfoy." She finished with a smile, "But that shouldn't matter to you." I flinched at how cold and harsh her voice got. "She isn't your niece. She is nothing to you. We are nothing to you. I seem to remember you disowning me as your sister. That's how it's gonna stay. I'm done trying to get you to forgive me. I'm done trying to fight for you."
I could feel my heart breaking at Harry's expression. I walked out into the shadows, making myself known.
"Ah, Laura. Nice of you to join us." Lucius smiled, "Come." He held his hand out and I took it, letting chin lead to between Constance and Draco.
The whole time Harry gave me a look of disbelief and relief. His eyes scanned my body before they landed on the piece of jewelry on my right hand.
"Laura." He murmured and tried to run up but was roughly pushed back by Draco making me wince.
"What are you doing here? What happened that night? You just disappeared! What's going on? What's that ring on your finger?!" He attacked me with all this questions, "Why are you here? How come you haven't come back?"
"It's my engagement ring." I said simply, twirling a piece of hair around my finger, "I'm here because I live here now." I gave Harry a small smile, "Is that a problem?"
"What? Engaged? Since when? To whom?" Fresh tears flowed down his face, and I almost told him it was all a lie but I pictured Voldemort killing Harry and killing Constance.

"About 8 months ago. I'm engaged to the one that gave you that scar."

.

Hermione;

Bellatrix kept a firm grip on my hair, occasionally pulling on it.
Constance stood beside Draco with her baby in her hands, and Draco's arms around her waist. She looked so different now. Her used to be long black hair was now a nice golden brown and was trimmed a bit shorter. She looked more mature with her curves and a baby in her hands.
Draco looked different as well. He wore a black suit and had dark circles under his eyes and his once styled hair was messy as if he constantly ran his fingers through it.
Lucius looked even worse. Enough said.

I bit my lip to hide my weakness of crying but Bellatrix's grip on me was too much.
I turns back up Harry and Laura's conversation.
"I'm engaged to the one that gave you that scar." Laura said monotonously, giving Harry a little smirk.
"What?" I whispered, causing Bellatrix to pull on my hair
"Shut it Mud Blood." She hissed.

Before Harry could respond to Laura, Connie simply waved her hand and sent Harry down the flights of stairs to the cellar.

Everyone exited the room after that, leaving me to Bellatrix who gave me a livid expression and an insane smile painted on her face.

I'm kind of sidetracked at the moment.
Fires are happening everywhere at the moment and it's just hectic.
Also, school is very tough and I actually did homework today and re-did my math test. I also had to do 2 essays, a report on a cartoon and the the NDP (New Democratic Party. -.- Yess I'm Canadian) Eh? & 3 opinion stuffs.
