Opposite Ends (Draco Malfoy)

21

"I'd rather just go back to Hogwarts." Eva explained.

"Okay, well I can take you tomorrow on my broomstick." Offered Cedric.

"No, it's okay. I can probably just owl a friend."

"Are you mad at me?"

"No. You didn't do anything wrong."

"Well, okay. You can use my owl." He stood up from his bed that the both of them were sitting on and opened a drawer in the desk that sat by his window. He took out a piece of paper, an envelope and a pen then motioned with his hand for Evangeline to go over there and write.

She sat down in the chair as he sat back down in his bed.

"Dear Draco,

I was wondering if, by any chance, you'd be able to take me back to Hogwarts. I'm at Cedric's, and I wanna leave. Things happened and I'm not welcome here. I just thought I would ask you. I'm sorry.

-Evangeline P."

She folded up the piece of parchment and slid it into the envelope. Cedric's owl was in its metal cage on top of the desk. Eva opened the cage and gave the owl the letter; it took it with its beak. She then opened the window for the owl and it took flight, disappearing in the distance.

It took a couple hours for a response, but Cedric's owl eventually flew back through the window and dropped the letter on Eva's lap. After, it landed on it's perch. Cedric was in the lavatory at the moment.

Dear Evangeline,

Sure. I won't be leaving until the 25th though for the Yule Ball.

A few crucial rules though:

-Cover your scar at all times
-Your name is Ella Greengrass
-You are Daphne & Astoria Greengrass' cousin

-D.M.

Draco's address was written at the bottom. She stood up from the bed she sat on and began to feed Cedric's owl.

Cedric came back into the room and she told him she'd be going to her friend's. He embraced her, "Be safe."

After a brief moment, he let go, "Would you want to go to the Yule Ball with me?"

She smiled, "I'll see you there."
