Trust Me - Draco Malfoy

13- Changes

The Christmas holiday is over and I'm back on the train with Draco next to me. My friends still don't know about us, and I'm now worrying about what to do. Especially now I know what he is.

"What you thinking?" Draco turns to me and says quietly.

"I'm worried." I admit. He knows exactly what I mean, my friends, death eaters and Dumbledore.

"Me too." He says, although I wish he didn't.

I spot someone standing by the entrance of the carriage, Harry. He sees me looking and nods me over to him.

"I have to go." I tell Draco.

He looks over and spots Harry too, "Okay." He says in a mere whisper.

I get up from my seat and walk towards to Harry; he waits for me to be next to him before speaking.

"Have you confirmed it yet?" He asks me.

"No." I lie, I can't tell him. I can't tell him anything.

"Come sit with us." He starts to walk back to his own carriage and I follow him.

Ron and Hermione are sitting chatting as Harry and I walk in.

"Oh hey, Jasmine," Ron turns to me "How was your sisters?"

"Good thanks, I have a niece, Avery."

"Avery? That's beautiful." Hermione says.

"As lovely as that is, can we please talk about the other thing." Harry looks stressed.

I don't know what I can say. I can't tell them that I know Draco is a death eater and I can't tell them that he has to kill Dumbledore because that would lead to me telling them that he is in fact a death eater, and I definitely can't tell them I'm dating Draco because they'll never trust me with anything, but surely they'll find out eventually, in which case I'm screwed.

"Jas?" Harry interrupts my chain of thought.

"Huh?"

"I asked how he's acting."

"Oh, Draco. Well he seems no more suspicious than usual. I'm not sure if there's actually any-"

Harry interrupts me, "Jasmine, it really seems like you aren't trying at all. You haven't found anything out and he seem to hang out with him all the time now! I wouldn't be surprised if you were with him over Christmas really!" He's shouting.

"Harry, calm down!" Hermione shouts back.

What is happening.

"I just don't understand how you have no leads or anything. If we don't find out what we think he is and then it just so happens that he is what we think he is, he could kill half the school!"

"He wouldn't!" I shout back.

"How do you know?" He says in a harsh tone.

I don't know what to do, better make up my mind quick. "You know what; I don't want to be a part of this anymore. I'm done trying to help you, Harry. Let me know if you find anything out." I stand up from my seat and start to walk away.

"Brilliant, Harry." I hear Hermione say in a sarcastic tone as I close the door.

***

I'm sitting in the common room when Draco finally finds me again.

"Where the hell have you been? I waited for you, I saw Potter and his lot coming off the train, you weren't with them."

"I sat by myself." I say simply.
