8, year six

Okey guys so there has been a miner time skip through year five and we are diving straight into year six.., LETS GET EXCITED!!

    >> year six <<

I always have split feelings when packing my trunks to go back to Hogwarts. As much as I love going to Hogwarts and seeing my friends, and the feasts and classes. I absolutely love being at home with my family, it's basically the only time I get to have quality time with my siblings undisturbed.
All of my siblings had spent their last night home. Not home. They had all stayed at friends houses.
My mother walks into my room holding my green striped Slytherin scarf.

"Selena have you finished packing yet?" She asks as she packs down the scarf herself.

"I just need to go and get my bathroom products, then I'm done." I replied smiling at her.

"Okay good, well since you're gonna have to leave alone tomorrow. I asked Narcissia and Draco to meet you at the Leaky Cauldron and escort you to the platform." She informs me not making eye contact with me. Instead she refolds one of the sweaters I apparently hadn't folded good enough for her standards.

"Mum I can escort myself I'm 16-" I laugh out but she cuts me off.

"No I don't want you wandering around London by yourself honey. You will not be going anywhere alone do I make myself clear?" She asks starting to get a bit annoyed at me.

"Crystal," I mutter as an owl flies into my room and drops a letter off that slowly falls to the floor.

"Hedwig!" I cheer as I grab the letter and rip it open.

"Mr Potter again?" Mum asks. Mum doesn't like it that I've started talking to Harry this much but I try to assure her that Harry and I are just friends but she never listens. Or she does but chooses not to fully believe me.

"Harry and I are just friends mum." I explain.

"Considering how many times Hedwigs been here this summer people might think the opposite." She mutters.

"How's Draco doing?" She asks trying not to sound rude but she fails. I roll my eyes at her. It has become a habit the past two years to stay at the Malfoy manners at least a week every time we're not in school. I got back home just a couple of days ago.

"Well, not much has changed since Saturday," I  snap. Then she turns and struts out of the room and I sit down to read my letter from Harry.

Dear Selena

I just arrived at the Weasley's. Hermione and Isaac are here as well. Things are going to be different this year, I can feel it. We just returned from our trip to Diagon Alley, and we will have to fill you in on what happened tomorrow in the library. Good night.

Your friend, Harry.

I wonder what could've possibly happened at Diagon Alley for Harry to say that this entire year is going to be different. I let my thoughts wander until I realise it's getting dark outside. I change into my extra pyjamas that i didn't pack down. I go to crawl into bed when I realise I never actually packed the bathroom products.
So I strut down the hall and into the bathroom where I already have a semi packed bag. I grab the last bits and pieces that I need and then I head back towards my bedroom.

On my way back I stop by the staircase and hear someone sobbing. It's Narcissia standing in the doorway downstairs talking with mum. Did she come all this way the night before Draco's leaving, just to talk to my mother?

"The unbreakable vow? I never thought someone like Snape would agree to that. How's Draco taking it?" I hear mum ask.

I try to eavesdrop some more but I can't hear anyone talking, that's when I realise I think I've been discovered. I jump at the sound of someone walking up in the staircase. I quickly run back to my room and close the door.
Mum walks in just as I hop into bed and pull my comforter up.

"Meet the Malfoy's tomorrow at 8:00 am." She whispers and kisses the top of my head ever so lightly.

"Love you mum," I whisper.

"I love you too, promise me that whatever happens this year, don't think differently about anyone," she claims and I believe she's gone mad.

"Mum what on earth are you rambling about?"

"Just promise me, okay?" She replies

"Do you want me to make an unbreakable vow?" I ask and she looks at me with widened eyes.
"You heard that?" She asks looking concerned. I nod in respond.

"Do not tell anyone. For your brothers, Draco's and your safety." Mum almost pleads then she walks out of my room.

A/n: IK SORRY FOR THE SHORT CHAPTER!!!! again so sorry for the time skip through year five, but I have lots of things planned for this year as well.
