"Thanks, Luna, tell your father I said thank you to him as well." I pass a  copy of the quibbler back to Luna. I got her to ask her father, who owns the paper, to write a bit on Newt being missing, it's not much but it's given me comfort that at least I'm trying, and others are as well.

NEWT SCAMANDER, NOT YET FOUND

~

"Guys, things are getting dark, darker than usual." I announce to our group in the common room. "Lately I've been feeling Him, he's getting happier and more excited. It's almost as if-"

"Something's coming." Kayden finished for me.

"Exactly. Something is coming." 

"Okay. W-well, the Order is also getting more recruits, and stronger, we know nearly every Horcrux, but...more than not are still intact." Max speaks up,

"Harry Potter and Weasley and Granger are out looking for them. Those three...they know what they're doing." Draco says, though he looked reluctant to.

"I hope so, because I feel something, something bad, coming. And I don't know what we can do to prevent it." My lips tremble as I talk.

"We don't prevent it." Leo tells us, "We let it come to us. And...and we fight it."

A glint of determination gleams in Leo's emerald eyes as he speaks.

"Leo, you haven't gone to the cave you're father passed away at, have you?" I ask,

"I want to. But I haven't. I can't go alone, and I can't get ahold of Renee or my mother."

"I still haven't heard from my mother either," Draco looks to his cousin and says,

"Are we all staying or leaving for Easter break?" Pansy asks us, "I'll do whatever you all do."

"Kayden and I are staying," I tell her,

"So am I, as is Max," Draco replies,

"Staying." Leo nods,

"Alright then. I will too."

Draco's POV

Dear Draco,
My son, it has been ages. You must let me explain-

My mouth drops open as I see that the letter my owl's just brought me is from my mother.

I haven't been ignoring your letters. I've been in hiding. After I helped you all escape the Manor, the dark lord was furious, he began to question every one of us, and as a legilimens, he got into my mind. Though my developed skill of Occlumency bought me a few minutes of time, I was still punished with the Cruciatus curse, and the only reason I wasn't killed was because I have given him a home to live in for the past two years.
I mustn't say my location in case this letter is intercepted or found, but I am with the one beside Pegasus, and I am safe.
Give everyone my best, and know that I love you, Draco. Stay close to your friends and to Y/n.
Narcissa Malfoy.
