Draco
I walk aimlessly around the house, which now feels empty without Scorpius running around. I walk into the kitchen and cast a spell on the pans, making them cook lunch.
When I finish eating I decide to go for a walk in Diagon Alley. I wander to Ollivanders, where I got my wand, and keep walking, I now stand front of Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, which is now run by George. I push open the door and enter, an aroma of ocean water, spearmint, and... Granger's perfume? Her perfume? Why do I like that smell? Wait... Many women wear that perfume, it's really common... So why did I think of Granger? Trying not to draw attention to myself, I proceed further into the store. Finally I find George, who is waving his wand at the large shelves in order to replace things. When he finishes, he steps back to admire his work and I hear him say,
" Happy now Freddie?" Even I got a little choked up at that. I clear my throat... Big mistake. He turns around in one swift motion then says,"Why are you here?" His voice laced with venom.
" I heard that this is a pretty good store so I decided to check it out."
" I don't want you here!" He practically screams.
" Listen Weasley, you think I wanted all those people to die! I didn't! What don't people understand about this! I HAD NO CHOICE!" George backs away, tears rolling down his face.
" You don't understand mate, everyone has a choice. You just took the easy way." I scoff.
" Easy way? Why don't you go betray everyone you know? See how it feels. It hurts more than death."
" THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST LET HIM KILL YOU?"
" That would be pleasant. ' Oh hello Lord Voldemort, can you please kill me now because I don't want to do what you say. Actually go ahead and torture me to death!'' And with that I walk out of the store, I hear him yell something but I'm already gone. I head to the only person that will even care to listen, Hermione Granger. But this time, I'm not going to call her 'Granger', I'm going to call her Hermione because, I think, I'm falling for her. Scorpius will be happy to hear this.
