Stone cold

Chapter 14

Hey guys I know I've been writing the story in 3rd person but I decided to write it in 1st so let me know what you think

~Rosie's POV~

A cold breeze blew through the trees as we all said our goodbyes whilst boarding the Hogwarts express. I said goodbye to Hagrid as he waved us off and found Ginny, Harry, Ron and Hermione so I waved to them as I probably wouldn't see them over the holidays. I slid into a compartment with Natalie and Agnes leaving Draco with his friends that i really didn't care for.

As we talked I noticed Natalie looking upset over something, Agnes must have seen that as well as we shared a look of concern before confronting our friend, "Natalie what's wrong" I said attempting to sound comforting, "Nothing, I don't want to talk about it!" she practically yelled. Agnes looked over at me and i simply shrugged not knowing what else to do or say for that matter.

After what felt like hours of awkward silence Natalie finally spoke, "I'll be back in a minute." she almost whispered. "Where are you going?" Agnes asked softly, "That's none of your business." she hissed in reply and then walked out leaving me and Agnes in silence, "And that's how your holiday is gonna go." The black haired girl sang, "Shut up, she's probably just on her period or something." I joked trying to lighten the mood, "Don't want another incident like last month." Agnes laughed remembering how last time Natalie was in a bad mood Sanderson had pissed her off so she ended up hexing her to grow a rats tail.

We laughed for a while until Natalie finally returned with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry i was such a cow earlier." she said with a shy smile. "That's okay just remember next time I won't be so forgiving." Agnes threatened mockingly. Natalie smiled and sat back down whilst Agnes mouthed mood swing causing me to have to bite my lip to stifle back a laugh.

The moment the train stopped everyone was rushing off the train at once whilst I stayed back with Natalie to find Draco. Of course he was one of the last ones so I easily managed to tackle him into a hug whilst catching him off guard. At first he yelled and then once he realised who it was kissed the top of my head. I released him after he complained that I was some what crushing him but didn't let me go far and pulled me back to him and into a kiss.

After we broke apart for air, my hand still tangled in his platinum hair, "I'll see you on Wednesday. okay?" he asked looking deep into my shining brown eyes, "Okay, I love you." I replied before I stepped off the train, "I love you too" he replied with ease.

I stepped on to the platform to find Natalie waiting for me, but I couldn't find my dad anywhere. He and my mother always met me after I got off the train ,I obviously didn't expect my mother to turn up and would be horrified if she did however I was expecting my dad.

Despite this I turned to Natalie and suggested the floo network as a form of transport she agreed after questioning where my dad was but after assuming he was at home and forgot she agreed and we headed to the nearest fireplace we could find.

We arrived at the house approximately 20 minutes after we left the train. I was in the drawing room of our manor and heard a sudden crash from the kitchen. I ran through the corridor with Natalie hot on my heels and saw my dad standing over a smashed bottle of firewiskey and several empty glasses strewn around the kitchen table, "Rosie? What are you doing back?" he asked, extremely confused at why I was there. "Dad its the first day of the summer holidays, you were supposed to meet me at the station!" I nearly shouted struggling to keep my temper under control. "It is? Are you sure?" his words slurred at the end of his sentence so he was clearly drunk. "Dad I'm going upstairs, bye." I said hastily dragging Natalie behind me.

I had seen my dad drunk only a few times but it wasn't pretty and I'd rather not scare Natalie away especially if she was in some form of trouble, which I assumed was the case due to the fact that she was so secretive all the time.

~Draco's POV~

After saying goodbye to Rosie I waited a while and then reluctantly walked over to my parents. My mother greeted me with a warm smile whereas my father kept an emotionless expression on his face, "Are you ready to leave yet?" he asked me with a chilling tone "Yes father" I replied with an equally as cold voice

Just before we apparated I caught a glimpse of Rosie and her friend alone both looking concerned I was about to call out to her when I felt the familiar tugging feeling of apparation. We soon arrived home and as usual I went upstairs immediately.

As soon as I was in my room I pulled out a piece of parchment, a bottle of ink and quill and quickly scrawled down a letter to Rosie asking if she was okay and for her to reply when she can after sending my owl on its way I lay down on my bed staring at the ceiling wishing the holidays to be over already.

I was dragged out of my thoughts by the sound of one of the house elves knocking on the door, "Mr Malfoy sir, Master sent me to tell you that Master wants you downstairs for a meeting sir." it squeaked. "Fine tell him I'll be down soon" I groaned dragging myself away from the comfort of my bed and changing in to a black suit after all there was only one kind of meeting I was forced to attend.

I sat in the dinning room on my assigned dark oak chair and listened to the dark lord as he went through individual tasks I was listening intensely for the names of anyone I knew thankfully not hearing any except for one couple which I couldn't quite put my finger on. The dark lord had assigned them the task of recruiting a few younger death eaters and I believe their names were Mr and Mrs Greener and I was sure I knew that name I just couldn't place it.
