Bellatrix: Hi Draco, my condolences for your father.

Draco: Thank you, Aunt, but you don't need to bother. The ones responsible for my father's death will pay for what they did.

Bellatrix: Keep it up, nephew. Keep nurturing that hatred. You'll make a fine Death Eater; we just need to find a poor soul to blame for Lucius's death. You'll be so grateful that you'll beg for the mark. She thought.

Draco: I heard most of the conversation you had with my mother, and as she said, I will respect my father's wishes.

Bellatrix: But this is a great opportunity. Lucius would be very pleased.

Draco: That's just speculation, Aunt. I will respect my father's wishes, and I will join the cause when I graduate from Hogwarts.

Bellatrix: Fine. She said disappointedly. It seems cowardice has passed from father to son. She thought.

Bellatrix: Goodbye, Cissy. She said before Disapparating.

Draco wanted to attack her, but he couldn't; he still didn't have the strength.

Snape emerged from behind the door. He had made himself invisible to avoid being seen by Bellatrix and had cast a silencing spell.

Snape: It seems the hard part is already done. Narcissa, I've found a safe house for you to stay. Draco will go to Hogwarts, and when he wants to visit you, I will give him the portal key. Try not to go out too much, Narcissa, and if you do, always bring a house-elf with you.

Draco: Alright.

Narcissa: Thank you, Severus.

The week passed, and the day to return to Hogwarts arrived. Sasuke appeared on Platform 9¾ with Winky and Beta. He said goodbye to the house-elves and boarded the train, heading straight to the compartment he had reserved.

He sat down and waited for the others to arrive.

After a while, the compartment door opened, and Zacharias and Luna entered. Luna shared details about Lucius's funeral and her day at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. She described all the products she saw and recounted her meeting with Ginny, Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

Zacharias mentioned that his family had put many protective spells around their house and said his parents were very nervous, as they still remembered the terror of the first war.

Sasuke: Tell me more about that.

But before he could elaborate, the compartment door opened again. Astoria and Daphne entered.

Daphne said nothing; she was nervous. Astoria, being more lively, asked Sasuke if they could join him.

Sasuke: Of course.

Astoria sat next to Zacharias and Luna, while Daphne sat beside Sasuke.

Daphne was extremely nervous, her face flushed.

Astoria: What are you all talking about?

Luna: We're discussing the First Wizarding War.

Astoria: I see.

Sasuke: Go on, Zacharias.

Zacharias: My parents told me those were very dark times. You couldn't trust anyone. People disappeared every day and were often found when the Dark Mark appeared in the sky.

Zacharias: He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named formed an army made up of giants, werewolves, Dementors, and Inferi.

Zacharias: Anyone who challenged him was killed, but He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named only feared one person, and that person was Dumbledore. That's why Hogwarts was the safest place.
