30 August, 1997
Quicker than expected, the new school year has arrived. Students were expected at King's Cross Train Station tomorrow.
Evangeline and Draco sat in their current room, on their beds. The two of them had grown very close over the summer.
Eva had her nose in a book, trying to study for the seventh year N.E.W.T. exams.
"You ready for school?" Draco asked, breaking the dreadful silence in the room.
"No. Not at all." She let the book fall into her lap out of frustration from not being able to understand what she was reading.
He furrowed his brows, "How come?"
"How come?" She mocked. She shut the book and threw it next to her on her mattress and made her way to Draco. She sat near him on the edge of his bed, looking at him seriously, "I don't know how I'm going to pull this off. Any of it. Making the Dark Lord think I'm actually going to betray the only real family member I have left, or these stupid N.E.W.T. exams. It's too much."
He broke his eye contact with her because his heart became heavy, he felt sorry for her. "I don't think it's possible to be ready to do anything for the Dark Lord. Unless you're heartless."
She continued to stare at him, studying him, while he began to peer out the cloudy bedroom window. She desperately wanted to know what he was thinking.
He snapped out of his thoughts, "What time is it?" They both looked at the grandfather clock that stood next the bedroom door. 4:42pm. "We have the meeting soon." Draco leapt up from his bed and began to button his white shirt all the way up.
Evangeline sighed.
The two of them entered the dining room together at each other's side. To Eva's surprise, she made eye contact with Mattheo Riddle, sitting next to his father at the end of the table. There were only two empty seats left. Draco pulled out a chair for Eva that was across from Mattheo. She faked a smile, "Thank you." and took a seat. He sat at the last empty chair next to her.
Lucius Malfoy took notice and began to glare at Evangeline and his son. Draco realized and he felt his heart shoot out of his chest.
