High Emotions

Over the last few weeks, Riddle Manor felt more like home and school than actual home and school. The amount of meetings that Sky and Mattheo had to attend with Voldemort seemed more than them attending classes. It felt as if she was seeing Draco and all her friends less and less as the days passed.

Was this part of the plan? Start separating them to make it easier for Sky when she was to die? Or did it just seem like she was seeing everyone less?

The nights she was getting back from the 'library' late and Draco was already asleep, she would just lay there staring at him. Thinking of everything they've ever been through together.

Mattheo was a sneaky person anyway so him being gone for long periods of time didn't phase anyone. However, Sky has never spent this much time away from everyone. Draco started to worry about her but knew that she had a lot on her mind so he didn't bother her. What she had on her mind was something he didn't know but he was sure she would tell him when she was ready.

It was a rainy day and she didn't feel like doing anything but hang out with her friends in the common room. When she walked in from her last class, she saw Mattheo sitting there with Pansy, who had the biggest smile. Sky loved seeing her sister happy, but sometimes it grossed her out how happy she was.

Sky felt that maybe feeling that way was because she was having to do something that she never thought would have to be done. Who has to fake their own death just to take out their own father to protect them and everyone else they love? Skyra Parkinson apparently is that person.

She sat down next to the fireplace, looking at all of her friends with a slight smile plastered on her face. She didn't know how long she would be gone, so she was savoring the moment of all of them together. She looked around but couldn't find Draco which was off since he is normally always with the group if not with her.

"Hey Blaise, have you seen Draco?"

Blaise looked up from his textbook, "Not since after dinner. He said he was going to the manor to talk to Lucius about something. Said he would be back in a few hours at most."

"Oh, okay. Thanks. I guess I'll go up to the dorm and read."

Before she could walk towards the dorms, Pansy grabbed her arm, "no, you're staying here for a little bit. I barely see you lately and I'd love to have some time with you."

"I can do that," she said with a smile. She noticed Mattheo shaking his head in her direction.

He kissed Pansy's forehead, "I'll let you two have some sister time. I'm going to raid the kitchen for some snacks."

They watched as Mattheo walked towards the door, turning back and winking in our direction. Pansy thought he was winking at her, but she heard what he was thinking.

I'm going to see what's going on with Malfoy. It's not like him to leave without a word to you. Enjoy the time with Pansy. She's been talking about you for days.

He was right, Draco never left without saying anything to me; what's going on?

"Let's go to my dorm, I have a bunch of snacks that Narcissa sent us from their trip abroad." Sky told Pansy taking her hand and leading her to the dorm

Pansy as always made herself comfortable on Sky's side of the bed since the last time she laid on Draco's side

"What the hell are you doing Parkinson?" Draco exclaimed when he saw Pansy laying on his side of the bed.

Sky didn't realize he was talking to Pansy at first, "I'm in the bathroom washing my face. Is everything okay?"

"Not you my love. Pansy here thinks she can lay on my side of the bed instead of yours. I really didn't want to have to change the sheets after just having them washed."
