Chap 18: Return of The Weasleys

      |June| |1999|

     |Draco| 

         Father and I havent talked to Leilani for more than a year. After I stormed off with Mother and father morning of the 2nd, I stopped talking to her. I had no idea where she was, who she was staying with, if she had a job in the wizarding world. 
      Kastor sent a invitation. It was a wedding invitation. He was marrying my sister. The date was October 23rd, Kastor's Birthday. I went to Kastor's manor, knowing Leilani would be there. Kastor opened the door. 

"Mate, she isn't here." Kastor slightly closing the door. 

"I know she is! I want to speak with her." Kastor shook his head. "Bloody hell Kastor!"

"DRACO MALFOY!" Leilani's voice echoed the manor. Kastor moved away from the door. My sister near the side of the stairs. 

"Lani." Kastor let me in the manor. "Lani, could we please talk?" 

"There is nothing to talk about, Draco. I remember you being a git and never tried to owl me or come over. You and Father ignored me after you fled like you did! I had to fight side with Kastor. Uncle--" She had tears. "It is best if we do not talk much longer, Draco." 

"Lani, I came because I missed you. I need to talk with you." I try to get close with Leilani. She moved back onto the stairs. "Lei, please." 

"No, Draco. Stay away. Go home. If I can not talk with Father, then I can not talk with you." She dried her tears. "Go!" She ran up the stairs and I heard a door close. 

Kastor pulled my arm. "Sorry, mate. It has nothing to do with you, honestly. Not everyone has been talking with her. Weaselette was for awhile, till her family found out. Ginny said she must stop til the wedding. Then saying, she wasn't coming. It broke Leilani. They seem to still be angry when I appeared at Bill's wedding."

"She went off with you, didn't she? She knew it was you and once she showed her favor---"

"They tossed her off. Their father did for the most part. None of them looked very happy. Luna is the only girl talking to her who isn't in Slytherin. Granger is with Ron, so she is too smart to owl Leilani under their noses. Longbottom has been good with her. He hasn't hate her like others do." He knew I was thinking of Potter. "Ah, Harry. He only comes alone. Ginny does not know that he comes to see his sister. None of The Weasleys do, honestly. He lies about having more work to do. He has kept Leilani a secret from the lot. He has only told me of this because if Lani knew, she would have thrown Harry out of our manor." 

"Mate, tell me everything" Kastor nodded. He told me what happened and how being a Death Eater with me was to protect Lani. 

After talking with Kastor, I went off to find Potter first. He was at the Ministry and in his department with Granger. She growled and Potter grins. 

"Malfoy." Granger barked. 

"Bite me!" I was angry at her, she hadn't talked with Leilani. 

She got off the chair and walked to a corner. Odd beaver. 

 "You, Potter, have been given the invitation to the wedding. So, have I, and my sister was not so pleased to see me." 

"You stopped talking to her, Malfoy." He looked at Hermione. "Mione, have something to say." 

"No." I glared at her. "Ye-s. I am sorry I have not talked to Leilani. Wait, did you say sister?" She gasped. 

"Leilani is my sister. Half-sister, actually. Ask Potter." I look at Harry.
