Worlds Collide

Chapter Fifty: Half Blood Prince

ROSELLA’S P.O.V
Summer was nearly over and I hadn’t heard from Draco all summer and I was getting worried about him as it caused me to pace back and forth in my room before I stopped when someone walked in and I saw that it was Edward, “are you alright? Jasper said you were worried.” he said to me, “yeah I am. I haven’t heard from Draco all summer.” I told him, “and that’s why you're worried?” he asked and I nodded, “I’m sure he’s fine. He’s probably just dealing with things at home considering his father had been sent to somewhere called Azkaban Prison.” he told me, “yeah, I read about that in the paper earlier. I just want to know that he’s alright.” I said to him, “I’m sure he will be.” he told me as the both of us talked for a while before he left me alone and I just thought to myself for a while before spending time with the others for a while before I decided to go to bed for the night. It was another day and Carlisle and Esme were planning on taking me to Diagon Alley and after getting ready, I walked out of my room and made it downstairs before Esme spoke up, “are you ready?” she asked me and I nodded, “alright, let’s get going then.” Carlisle said before we walked out of the house and made our way to Diagon Alley. By the time we had gotten there, we walked around getting what I needed before I noticed the state that Ollivander’s shop was in and I sighed a little remembering the day I got my Wand before I heard Harry and the other’s, “hey.” I said to them, “hey.” the three of them said before I walked into the shop with them, “how was your summers?” I asked them, “it was alright.” Harry told me, “it was fine.” Hermione said to me, “mum’s been worrying all summer but other than that, it was alright.” Ron told me, “I don’t blame her.” I said to him before he spoke up again, “Harry, is it me or does Draco and mummy look like two people who don’t want to be followed.” Ron said and I walked over to see what he was talking about before seeing Draco with his mother before they walked off, “don’t tell me you’re thinking of following him.” I said to Harry and he didn’t say anything as he walked out of the store and the three of us soon followed Harry. After a few moments had passed, we managed to catch up and waited outside Borgin and Burkes before we decided to go on a roof for a better view and I helped them up before I got on the room myself and watched what was going on before something had made a sound causing us to duck our heads incase the other’s in the store heard and after a few moments we started looking over the roof to see that the view was blocked.

After watching what was going on in Borgin and Burkes we managed to get off the roof and rush of before we made it back to Diagon Alley and my worry for Draco grew even more and after saying goodbye to Harry and the other's I eventually found Esme and Carlisle, “have you checked out Fred and George’s shop yt?” Esme asked me, “no not yet.” I told her, “are you alright? You look a little upset.” she said to me, “can we talk about it later?” I asked her and she nodded, “alright, let’s get going then.” Carlisle said and the three of us left Diagon Alley and made our way home. By the time we made it home, I rushed to my room wth the stuff from Diagon Alley and left it on the floor for the time being as I didn't want to be bothered with it as my mind was filled with Draco and my worry for him before I was startled when Esme and Carlisle rushed into the room, “you scared me.” I said to them, “sorry.” Esme said before the both of them sat on either side of me, “do you still want to talk?” Carlisle asked me, “it’s about Draco. Somethings going on and I’m worried that it’s not a good thing.” I said to them, “what makes you think that?” Esme asked me, “I saw him with a few others, they were Death eaters, at Borgin and Burkes earlier and they surrounded a cabinet. I think they want him to do something.” I said to them before Alice stood in the doorway, “I just had a vision.” she said to us, “what was it about?” Carlisle asked, “about Draco Malfoy. He’s become a Death Eater.” she said and I froze not wanting to believe that it's true before I was brought out of my thought’s when I heard Esme, “are you going to be alright?” she asked me, “I don’t know. I don’t think I’m going to be able to sleep tonight.” I said to her before speaking to Alice, “did he do it willingly or was he forced?” I asked her, “they threatened him into getting the Mark.” she told me and I tried keeping myself from crying before Carlisle spoke up, “Do you want to be alone?” he asked me, “if you don’t mind.” I said to him, “alright.” Esme said and the three of them left the room and not long after they had closed the door and listening to them leave, I laid in bed before I started crying about what Aic had just told me before I ended up falling asleep. After some time had passed, I later woken up and slowly sat up and sat on the side of the bed and thought about earlier for a moment before I got up and walked out of my room and headed downstairs before seeing everyone sitting in the living room before they noticed me, “Rosella, are you alright?” I heard Alice ask me, “I don’t know.” I said to her before going into the kitchen and got something to eat and sat on the counter before the other’s walked in, “we know it's not easy but we know you won’t leave him and that you’ll be there for him and we will as well.” Alice told me, “I just don’t get why they’d make him do this. It’s not fair. I wish it was me rather than him.” I said to them and we continued to talk about it for a while before we all decided to go hunting as it managed to clear my head for a while.

After some time had passed, it was another day and I was still upset about Draco as I thought about it as I packed my things and when I finished, I made sure that I had everything I needed before I walked out of my room and headed downstairs to see Esme and Carlisle waiting for me, “do you have everything?” same asked me and I nodded before the three of us left the house and made our way to the station. By the time I made it to Kings Cross, I had said goodbye to Carlisle and Esme before I looked for Draco before I saw him getting on the train and I had done the same before catching up to him, “hey.” I said and kissed his cheek, “hey love.” he said to me before the both of us sat down with Blaise and Pansy and we talked for a bit before Draco had gone to check something before the entire cabin was blacked out by something, “what was that?” I heard Draco ask, “don’t know.” Blaise and I said to him, “relax boys, it’s probably just a First Year messing around.come on Draco, sit down. We’ll be at Hogwarts soon.” Pansy said before Draco sat back down next to me and I held his hand, “Hogwarts. It’s a pathetic excuse for a school. I think I’d pitch myself off the Astronomy Tower if I thought about continuing for another two years.” Draco said to us, “what’s the supposed to mean?” Pansy asked him, “I’m starting to wonder the same thing.” I said as I looked at him, “let’s just say I don't see me wasting my time in Charms class next year.” he said to us before Blaise laughed a little, “amused Blaise? Let’s see who’s laughing in the end.” Draco said to him before I heard something moving from above us and I began to wonder if it was because of the train but Harry’s scent ended up proving me wrong before we continued to talk throughout the rest of the train ride. After a while had passed, we finally made it to the school’s platform and everyone started getting off the train and I was about to do the same with Blaise and Pansy before we turned to face Draco, “you three go on. I want to check something.” he said to us, “I’ll catch up.” I said to Pansy before walking up to Draco and kissed the top of his head before whispering to him, “it’s Harry.” I said low enough for only him to hear before walking away and getting off the train and I decided to wait for Draco. After a few moments had passed, Draco got off the train and grabbed my hand and I walked with him, “what happened?” I asked him, “we had a little chat.” he said to me as w made our way to the carriages and managed to get one with Pansy and Blaise as I talked with them and Draco was silent the entire time which worried me a little as I wondered what was going through his mind.
