I'm am not looking forwards to the end of the term feast.But its Not the fact the we probably won't win its the fact that tomorrow I will be standing in front of Malfoy Manor. All because we had Draco over the Christmas holidays so the Malfoys invited me for the summer holidays. Nowadays I tend to avoid or completely ignore Draco. I doubt that's going to be possible though seeing as I'll be in his house.Although I've heard that Malfoy Manor is pretty big so I might be able to get away. I'm sitting in the common room with Neville. We're talking about what we're going to do over the summer. Neville and I always send each other letters (to my mother discontent). My mother thinks Neville is useless and he's probably not even a Longbottom. The Longbottom's are a very well known pureblood wizard family. At first  they thought Neville was a squib but as time went on he was acepted her and..... sorry I'm explaining Neville's life story. I'll stop now. "So what are you and Malfoy going to get up to?" Ron asks walking in. "So you heard" I say sighing. "Heard? Everyone's talking about it." Ron says "What?" Neville asks. " There's even bets going that she wont come back alive, oh yeah and Justin Finch-Fletchey even has a bet going that she'll come back preg-" "Justin?" I ask Ron. "Yeah you know the Hufflepuff." "Yeah I know where is he?" I ask. "I think he's outside the Hufflepuff common room" Ron says as I run out of the room climbing in the portrait hall. I run for about 5 minutes until I reach the Hufflepuff common room and surely enough Justin Finch-Fletchey is outside. Merlin his name is stupid it almost makes Perevell sound normal. Hell it makes Longbottom sound like a stereotypical name.

"Justin?" I call him. He looks at me and waves goodbye to his friends. The painting off a fruit bowl opens and Justin's friends walking the common room. He walks down the steps to me and says "What's up?" "The Bet?" I say raising my eyebrows. His face turns to total shock. "I....I... it was just...a...joke...please don't hurt me" He stutters.I try my hardest not to laugh at what he said last. "Why would I hurt you?" I say seriously trying to hold back laughter.  "Well everyone knows what you've done to Draco" He says quietly. "That's because he's an ass." I say sighing. I really need to stop sighing. "Then why are you marrying him?"Justin asks. I ponder in my mind for a second should I tell him but instead I say "Its a long story. Walk with me?". He's nods and starts to walk off with me. I explain the whole story as we walk along the castle grounds until we reach the Gryffindor common room. "But if you're 18 you can do what you want" Justin says stopping in front of the portrait. "Not when it comes to the old pureblood families."I say biting at the inside of my cheek. Justin looks puzzled.He's a muggleborn. I decide to explain to him "In the old pureblood families you belong to your family you are only independent when you marry." "That's total bullshit" "Yeah. It really is" I say. After that the silence is really awkward." Listen about the bet it really was just a stupid joke" Justin says breaking the silence. "It's fine. Honestly" "Really?" "Yeah listen I have to go but I'll see you later at the feast right" I say. After that we part our ways and I'm just about to walk in through the portrait hole when I feel of what I hope is water fall over me. I instantly hear laughter. Fred and George. I push the water out of my eyes and say "I'm going to kill you two"

Later that night all four houses sit in the great hall for the end of term feast. We have to wear stupid pointed hats that make my hair go all funny. Thank Merlin we won. It was close between Gryffindor and Slytherin but we won. I honestly didn't think we would win with all the points I lost(not to mention Fred and George). I sit next to Neville and Séamus. "So Mrs. Malfoy have fun at Malfoy Manor" Séamus says spewing mashed potato everywhere. "First of all I am not Mrs. Malfoy and second close your goddamn mouth" I say picking up my fork. Its odd to think about I have to spend 2 months with a group of people I barely even know. I guess Draco must have thought the same when he spent Christmas with me. I've heard that Malfoy manor is so huge that you could get lost in there. My father who is old friends with Draco's father Lucius, would never tell me about the Manor. Probably because I was Gyrffindor. But I doubt anything could prepare me for tomorrow.
