MANY MONTHS HAD PASSED SINCE the summer, when Draco had become a Death Eater, and had been given his mission, but there had been no visible change to the vanishing cabinet ever since the beginning of the year.
That is, not until now.
After an infinite amount of days of trying and trying, Draco had finally succeeded in repairing it. Just a little.
There was just one teeny tiny problem; everything that entered the cabinet came back damaged.
Ophelia was trying her hardest to help Draco. She was now reading up on everything he was learning, then explaining everything to Draco in simpler terms. She had even charmed his quill to write down his thoughts on the subject she was discussing so he wouldn't waste any time on trying to look for words to write his essays.
He wasn't the top ten in his year anymore, but he was still above average, and that was good enough for him.
And over the next two weeks, as Ophelia helped him get through his never-ending load of homework, along with the increasing pressure of getting the vanishing cabinet fixed, and trying to kill Dumbledore, Draco found himself relying more and more on his little sister.
He had come to realize that she bore no ill towards him, and her heart was clean; all she wanted was to help him.
And when he opened his heart up to her, he was unable to push her away, no matter how much he tried. She was so goddamn stubborn.
But Draco respected her for it. Because without her, he would be long dead. Either from making a mistake, or from the pressure and the weight of the burden he bore.
Draco Malfoy had accepted that he couldn't live without his sister, to the point where he would die for her.
Said blonde had never been busier. As the next two weeks bore on, Lia found herself constantly occupied with something or the other, giving her absolutely no free time at all do do as she pleased (playing Uno with Colin, reading or talking with Theo).
Indeed, talking to the brunet boy was one of her favorite things to do. Now that they were on good terms and had set aside their differences, Ophelia even considered him to be one of her best friends.
He understood her background, and he was her childhood friend, so the pair would often sit in the tree and converse about their childhood, or about random topics, such as which Spellebrities was most likely to win the Witch Weekly Grammagic Awards.
He also helped her study for her upcoming Transfiguration OWL, which was almost in two weeks. Of course, they would both start studying but get sidetracked as one or the other would change the subject suddenly, and the conversation would flip into a heated debate.
