There Must Be Some Mistake! Harry Potter!

Ch. 27Last Day

I never thought I'd say this but I don't think I was ever happier than when I saw his blonde silver hair. I ran to him and jumped into his arms,wrapping my legs around his waist. He squeezed my body in closer to his. I took a deep breath in through my nose. My arms wrapped around his neck. "Where were you?" Draco whispers into my ear. "At the Burrow" I say smiling. He sets me down and I straighten out my shirt. I feel his hand grab at mine as we walk inside.

As soon as I walk into the manor I see Narcissa. She runs up to me. "Dear Girl Where were you?" She says smiling. "I was with the Weasleys in the Burrow." I say as Lucius walks out of his office. "The Weasleys? Them?They were the ones who took you?" He asks in his stern voice. To be honest he scares me more the Professor Snape. "No. They helped me" I say shaking my head. "Helped you?" He says staring into my eyes. I feel like he's staring into my soul. I nod.

I lay on my bed an hour later. Not even under the covers. Apparently when I stayed with the Weasleys last night I slept in George's bed. I feel the fabric on the bedding. I trace my fingertip around in circles. I feel tired but not in a physical sense but mentally. I'm thirteen and I've had a shit ton of pressure placed on my shoulders. I sigh as I close my eyes. I start to imagine life like a Slytherin. My parents would be proud of me. I wouldn't have to be ashamed to tell people my last name. Snape would like me. I would be friends with the Slytherins. My brother wouldn't hate me. I open my eyes.

A tear slides down my cheek. I realize that will never happen. I will always be a Gryffindor. I will always be a disappointment. I keep crying but frantically try to
Hide the fact that I was crying when I see Draco standing in my doorway."What's wrong?" He asks walking to foot of my bed. "Nothing,I was just thinking about something"I say twisting my ring around my finger. "So you were thinking about something sad?" "No, it was something happy" "Then why are you crying?" Draco asks lying down next to me. "Because it'll never happen" I say quietly. Draco takes my hand in his. He takes a deep breath in.

It's moments like this that make life so awkward. What do I say? What does he say? "Oh, your brother left you something" Draco says sitting up. He hands me over a box. On top of the box there's a letter. I open it. I decide I'm not going to read it aloud

Opal,
Seeing as you know my dark mark you must not tell anyone. I left you something to ensure you stay quite.

Your brother
Finnick

Honestly does he think he can buy my silence?The only reason I haven't told anyone is because the opportunity hasn't arose where I can mention it. I decide to open the box anyways. It's quite a big box. Inside there's a few art supplies I've wanted forever,a book that I wanted to read and a huge bag of sherbet lemons. I sigh. How far is he willing to go. "What's the occasion? "Draco asks. "Oh it's nothing,just something from a friend that the owl left at my house" I lie. I don't like lying but it's the only way

I can't just call out that my brother's a deatheater. Even Draco I wouldn't trust with a secret like that. Little does my brother know that me keeping his secret is going to cost him more than just some gifts.

Tomorrow I'm going back home. Toady is my last day in Malfoy Manor for now. So Draco and I walk around the house. He brought me into this room where there was a huge piano. "I used to play piano" I say sitting down. I play a short sad sounding tune. Draco sits down next to me."What else don't I know about you" he asks."too much"
