   "DRACO WILL YOU HAND ME THAT pen? Then I'll be off."

   "To Dumbledore's office, right?"

   "Correct."

   "Good luck." He nods while giving me the desired pen. I take it and quickly put it in my bag before already storming off.

   Today is a busy day and I can't wait for it to end already, though it's only two in the afternoon.

   I had classes the whole day, but thankfully it's the last day of having any so it was rather easy. Still, learning is learning and I deeply despise it. Now I've got to go to the Headmaster to change my fucking name, which makes me happy and bloody furious at the same time. And in the evening the party takes place. Oh and in between I need to send a letter to Vernon because my stupid self forgot to do it a few days back when I wrote Oliver.

Who was quite devastated I wouldn't be able to help him in his misery over the Summer.

   However about the party, I was so desperate I asked Pansy for help with a choice of clothing.

   Eventually I or we decided on black boots, fishnet tights and a short black dress. And the cherry on top is a bit of dark make up. We were both shocked how much older I looked after I tried it on.

Though I don't mind that really.

   And now that I am in front of the famous eagle or whatever, I have no idea what to do.

   And as if it knows my confusion, stairs form around it and I manage to walk upstairs and into his office.

   "Hello Headmaster?" I ask into the room, not sure whether he's there or not.

   Suddenly he appears on the balcony of his office, walking down to sit down at his office, "Oh you made it, sit down."

   I nod and walk over to his desk, sitting down opposite to him, "You wanted to see me because of a name change?"

   God I can't even look at him it's embarrassing. I can't wait to drink all this away tonight. I really need it.

Before Harry told me, I didn't even know someone could just change their name like this.

   "Yes, but may I ask you a question before we get to the business?"

   "Of course." I nod.

   "How did you find out?"

   "What?"

   "I swore to never tell you, to protect your young mind."

   Fucking protect my mind? Yeah right.

   I fake a small smile, "Professor Lupin told me. He thought it was my right to know after he kept it secret for 13 years."

   He sighs, presses his lips into a fine line and nods slowly.

   How is this man so chill?

   "And how are you now?"

   "Fine." I say, the word coming out more like a hiss than I wanted it to.

   "And you are absolutely sure you want to change your last name? It may cause students to talk about something they shouldn't."

   As if he actually cared about me. He only cares about Harry.

   "I don't care. I don't care whether they talk about me or not. People will always find something to talk about and whether that is my last name now and my house in correlation or my last name changed and the power that comes with it."
