I was walking outside with Nessy when I heard thunder. I held Nessys hand and looked up to see a cloud in the shape of the dark mark. "Nessy... what does that mean?" I asked as she seemed scared of it. "Nessy knows it means that the deatheaters are out, master." Right as she said that, black clouds of smoke rushed out of the clouds and down onto the ground.

I hid behind a tree with Nessy and saw a deatheater that had the same confident walk as Draco. "Nessy?" I asked as I kept my eyes on the deatheater. "Yes, master?" She asked as she looked at the deatheater as well. "Do you think it's possible that Draco became a deatheater?" I looked down at her as she gave me a worried look. "Yes, Nessy heard old masters talking about Draco turning to the one whom we do not speak of." I looked back towards the buildings to see the deatheaters were gone. Was Draco really a deatheater?

Hermione and I went to the Weaslys house as we were meeting up with Harry and the others. I, of course, brought Nessy with me. Hermione and I were upstairs playing with Nessy.

We heard commotion downstairs about an owl and Harry. Hermione got up and ran downstairs while I slowly got up and held Nessys hand as we walked downstairs.

I treated Nessy as if she were a child, which probably wasn't the best way to handle a house elf, but it was what I was doing, and I was not about to stop soon. "Harry Potter!" Nessy said as she pointed towards Harry. "It's rude to point Nessy." I said as I gently pushed her hand down.

"How did you get a house elf?" Harry asked. "Draco gave her to me." Everyone looked at me with their usual confused expressions when I mentioned Draco. "He gave you a house elf?" Ron asked. "Nessy, has never seen old master so happy with someone before." Nessy said as she walked around the house. "He must really like you." George and Fred said synchronized.

Harry, Hermione, Ron, and I sat around a paper that was on fire as they talked about how Hogwarts was dangerous. I stared at the fire as they talked and then saw Dracos face in the paper. "Wait! Is that Draco?" I asked as I looked at the burning picture. "Nessy!" I said softly. "Yes master?" She said as she walked up to me.

"Can you get me another newspaper?" She nodded and snapped her fingers to make a newspaper appear in front of me. "Thank you!" I picked the newspaper up and read it. "Dracos dad was sent to Azkaban!" I said as I kept reading. "Oh yeah, I read about that this morning." Harry said nonchalantly.

The next day, we all went to the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and looked around as Fred and George were selling stuff. Hermione and I walked up to an area of love potions. I picked up the tiny bottle and looked at it. "Do you think this actually works?" I asked as I found the color of the potion alluring. George and Fred then started to tell us about how strong the potion was. When they talked about it, I saw a boy from across the room with a cheeky smirk on his face as he looked at me.

I turned away and put the potion back before following Harry, Hermione, and Ron out to Ollivanders Wand Shop that closed down due to the deatheater attack that Nessy and I saw. We walked into the shop and looked at how destroyed it was.

Harry and Ron spotted Draco walking around suspiciously with his mom. His mom was very, very pretty. We followed long behind Draco, as he and his mother walked through a dark alleyway. He then entered a shop that was called Borgin and Burke.

I followed Harry as he climbed on top of a roof, just to spy on Draco. I felt a little silly, but at least I wasn't the only one doing it as Hermione and Ron joined us. I saw Draco walk upstairs with his mom as she kissed his cheek. Draco then walked up to a cabinet thing and stroked it as he observed little details about it.

A big scary man appeared in front of the window and almost caught us, but we managed to duck and get out of sight before he could.

We soon aboard the Hogwarts Express. I put my suitcase up and sat down in my usual spot. Black smoke then filled the air as Draco came to sit in the compartment with me. "Shit." He said as he coughed and sat down. I looked over at him and saw how drained and depressed he looked. "Are you okay, Draco?" I asked as I grabbed his hand and caressed it with my thumb.

"I'm fine, just tired." He said, and I could tell he was tired, but there was more to it than him just being tired. Nessy appeared in front of me and smiled. "Nessy says hello!" She said adorably as I smiled back at her and picked her up, putting her down beside me to feel something already there.

Draco noticed and seemed like he already knew what was there. He cast a spell on the invisible object before revealing that it was Harry under the invisibility cloak who was now petrified. "Nessy didn't expect that." I chuckled and pulled nessy closer to me as Draco stood up with his fists in a ball. "Draco!" I blurted out as I knew what he was about to do, but that didn't stop him. Draco punched Harry in the face and broke his nose. I gasped and gave Draco a scared look. "Teaches you to mind your own business, Potter!" He said before throwing Harry into the hallway and shutting the door.

I held Nessy close to me as my scared expression turned into a worried one. "You're not okay Draco, tell me, what's wrong?" He looked at me with a sad look  like he was about to cry but then shook his head and stood up. "Nothing, Grace! Nothing is wrong with me!" He said before storming out of the compartment and stepping on Harry to walk further back onto the train.

I looked down at Nessy to see she had a concerned look as well as me. "Has he ever acted like this before?" I asked. "No, master, Nessy knows something is really bothering him." I fixed up her little dress and asked a favor from her. "Can you spy on him for me? But please don't let him catch you." She nodded and gave me a confident smile as she stood up straight and tall. "Nessy will do as master wishes!" She said as I giggled. "Thank you." She then snapped her fingers and disappeared to go find Draco.
