The Riddles

I had helped out at a few more Dumbledore's Army sessions and, it really drained me. As much as I don't mind helping people, it can be quite annoying.

A couple months had past and it was time to go and visit dad to report back to him. Mattheo was coming too as we had a meeting.

I'm getting sick of these meetings, it's basically the same things over and over again. I really do feel like falling a sleep.

I got Mattheo in the common room and we apparated to the Manor.

We walked to dads office door and knocked, waiting for an answer.

The door swung open and we walked in.

Mattheo and I sat down, infront of his desk and waited to be spoken to.

"My dear children. How lovely to see you both, again." He spoke.

"Likewise, father." I responded.

"I believe you have news to share, about Harry Potter." He mentioned.

"Yes. Over the past couple months, Harry has created a secret group called 'Dumbledore's Army' in order to teach students how to defend themselves again dark magic, and people. I was offered to help teach, and I took this offer to get more of an insight of what they do, and what their main objective is." I told him.

"I must say, child. You have provided me with great, information. Well done. But, please, do tell me who they're trying to defend themselves from." Father said.

"Yourself, father." I replied. His demeanour changed and the room atmosphere became scarier than usual.

"Thank you. You may go and get ready for the meeting." He said.

Mattheo and I stood up and left. We proceeded to make our way to the table and take our seats.

"Are they really trying to stop dad?" Mattheo asked.

"Yeah. That's their goal for when the time comes." I replied. "Their trying to find a prophecy or something. I don't know. I only heard a snippet of  that." I added.

"A prophecy? What's so special about a prophecy?" He questioned.

"No idea. But I believe i'll find out quite soon." I replied.

A few weeks had passed and during that time, myself, Theo and Draco had all joined the Inquisitorial Squad to get extra credit.

As much as I hate Umbitch, I need the extra credit. I'm putting myself through hell to get better grades.

I had also been given another task which was to go with a few death eaters to retrieve the prophecy.

Was I scared, obviously. I mean, terrible things could happen. I could get seriously injured and or I  could die. Harry and that could find out that I'm a death eater. That wouldn't be the greatest.

I wouldn't be going alone as Mattheo was also tasked of going. So at least I had company. But I don't know who else is going. That's all I've been thinking about for the last few days.

I was sat on my bed, putting my shoes on to go and meet Harry, Ron and Hermione as they had something to ask me.

I was told to meet them in the library. So I grabbed my cardigan and headed to the library.

The library was quite busy when I walked in. I struggled to spot them, but I then saw them sitting at the back. I walked up and sat down.

"Hey guys!" I cheered.
