Chapter Three

I spot Draco and head over.

"How did you get out?" He asks.

"Ginny is covering. Doesn't even know why?"

Draco laughs and gently lifts up my hand.

"Your hand is starting to look better."

I glance at the scars on my knuckles. I have honestly not thought about it since that day I broke the mirror. He lightly kisses my hand and I blush. I flop on the ground and stare at the sky. Draco lays so his head is by mine, but legs away from mine. We just stare at the sky in silence. The stars seem brighter here. Draco grabs my hand.

"What did you think of me?" Draco asks, breaking the silence.

"You were rude and selfish."

"Well thanks."

"But last year, you were nicer than before... What did you think of me?"

"Honest and not afraid of anything."

We lay there a little bit longer. It's peaceful. That's till smoke trickles into my nose. I quickly sit up and run to camp. Draco is on my tail. When we arrive, everything is chaotic. Death Eaters are everywhere. I recognize them from pictures.

"Find your family," Draco orders. "Hurry."

"What about you?"

Draco pushes and I trip. Fred catches me. The two older set of twins drag Ginny and I. We get to the Portkey and get back to the field from before. The Diggorys arrive.

"Arthur told me to make you four get home," Mr. Diggory states.

"Yes sir."

We head home quickly and let Mum know what happened. Soon, Dad with the trio arrives. Everyone gives each other hugs.

"I'm glad you all made it home safely," Mum states. "Now why don't you go to bed? All of you."

"Yes ma'am."

All of us drag ourselves up the stairs to bed.

"Hurry up," Mum orders. "You first, Abi."

I run through the gate and wait for my family and friends. Soon we say goodbye and board the train. I choose an empty compartment and lay on one of the seats.

I close my eyes, trying to catch up on sleep. Lately I'm afraid of sleeping. I either see people suffering from my destruction or me causing the destruction. I hear the door open and close, but don't respond.

"Morning Abi," I hear a familiar voice whisper. I smile.

"Morning Draco."

"Do you want me to let you sleep?"

I shake my head and sit up. He tosses a licorice wand that I easily catch.

"Planning on joining the team this year?" Draco chuckles.

"Have no clue. I'll decide before tryouts."

He nods his head and we joke around.
