YN x George Weasley

31

"Bellatrix." You tried, and probably failed, to keep the disdain out of your voice. This was the woman that everyone based you on. The woman who threw you out. The woman your dad warned you of when you were barely walking.

Draco quickly led you over to a seat and sat down by you. As he made small talk with his family you glared at the rat man across from you and Kreacher served you all food. The man swiped his sweaty forehead witb his napkin.

"So, children," narcissa said, "how is school?"

Draco scoffed. "Bloody awful as always. I swear that Dumbledore let's everyone in. Even squibs. There is no way that Longbottom brat has any magic in him whatsoever."

He sounded more snobbish than he ever had but you knew he was lying through his teeth. Hogwarts was like a home to him and you knew he secretly had a soft spot for Neville.

Lucious scowled. "I don't understand why we didnt send you to durmstrang. There's some strong Wizarding blood over there. None of those mudbloods and halfbreeds Dumbledore let's in."

Oh gross. You knew Draco's father had strong opinions but this was the first time you really got to hear and understand them.

"Y/n? What about you dear?" Narcissa asked.

You knew she was trying to be nice by drawing you into their conversation but you didnt really want to answer.

"Well, Hogwarts is," you paused. A part of you wanted to say the truth just to ruffle their feathers but you also wanted to get on their goodside. Maybe something useful would come out of it. "Quite something."

You made your voice sound disgusted and by the approval on Lucius face you succeeded.

You relaxed, up until this point you hadn't really realized how tense you were.

Bellatrix looked at you and all that relief washed away. "Whose side are you on?"

"Excuse me?" This had to be a trick question. If you didnt answer would it be too suspicious? If you did would you say the wrong thing?

"Whose. Side. Are. You. On." She said slowly like would understand.

"Bella, please-" narcissa put a hand on het sisters arm but Bellatrix snatched it away and hissed.

"Tell me, unless you have something to hide, little girl."

You thought about it for a second, lookrd her in the eyes, and told her whose side you were on.

Her lips quirked and she started to laugh and laugh and laugh. A sharp manic sound like a pack of hyenas after a kill. But thats rude to hyenas.

"Who wants to tell?" Bellatrix settled in a unnerving grin. "Because if you won't i will."

___

Everyone retired to the den and Bellatrix told you. Not everything, not even close, but enough. Enough to your stomach roll and bile fill your mouth. You swallowed it down and smiled in a way that would make Bella proud.

Draco's leg was shaking rapidly beside you. He had a worse poker face than a three year old. You would calm him down later.

You were already forming a plan in your mind and it would take all the help you could get.

___

When you went to bed for the night you refused to talk to draco. That'd be suspicious. Eventually though, you wish you had because as you went over the plan in your head most things changed exept one.

George.
