Sarah Abott & the Order of the Phineox

Chapter 13: Valentines Day

   Valentines day was fast approaching, and I was helping Ginny to ask Harry out to Hogsmead.

However after breakfast that day, Harry announced that he asked Cho Chang instead.

I comforted Ginny telling her we could spend Valentines day together. She brightened at that idea.

We went to the Three Broomsticks for some Butterbeer and quick conversation.

"Is it true, your dating Malfoy?" Ginny asked awed.

"Yes, he's my boyfriend." I replied as Luna passed  by.

"Malfoys headed down a dark path, he can only be stopped by a friend of the lught." She said in her trance like talk. She shook her head, "Sarah, Ginny, how are you two?"

"I'm good, hey I overheard about Harry giving the Quibbler his side of the story. When are you meeting him?" I asked.

"Very soon, ah here comes Hermione with Harry and Rita." Luna said rushing to squeeze in with them.

I disappeared behind my cloak so Rita wouldn't notice me. The last thing I wanted was Rita thinking I was dating my brother, eww! She already worked from the angle of him and Hermione dating last year.

I noticed from his sad expression that his date with Cho didn't go as planned.

When Harry was finished, I joined him on the walk back to the castle. "Hey how did the interview go?"

"Fine. Come on, let's just get back." Harry answered.

Later on that evening, Hermione asked how Harry's date went. Harry only told that it was a disaster because Cho would only talk about Cedric and why did he break up with her?

I rolled my eyes. "You don't need her, Harry. There is a sweet, nice girl right in front of you."

"Come on Sarah, we know you love Harry, so make a move already!" Ron said impatiently.

"I have Draco as my boyfriend Ron! I mean this girl had always been cast to the side and has been waiting patiently for you to notice her." I snapped facing my brother.

"Who?" Harry asked curious.

"Go find her, only reason I talked instead of her is because she gets too flustered around you." I explained leaving to do my evening patrol with Malfoy.

"Evens! You alright there?" Malfoy asked when he found me on the second floor.

I nodded, "I'm fine Draco. Did Umbridge change anything yet?"

"As a matter of fact, she tipped me off. She told me an unknown source found out about Potters interview with the Quibbler. She is enacting the rule now that if any student is caught with the magazine, they'll be expelled." Malfoy quoted.

"Yikes, I better tell Luna, her dad's the editor. But I'll tell her later. Do you believe what my brother is saying?" I asked quickly.

"I believe you, so yeah, I believe Potter." Malfoy replied. I stretched up to kiss him gently.

"Do you have any plans this summer?" I asked abruptly.

"Hang around my manor. I wish you could join me, but my father said Mudbloods aren't allowed."

"I'm not a Muggle-born, Malfoy." I growled.

"I know, but you are posing as one. Besides Dad wants me to prove my loyalty this summer to the...dark side." Malfoys white face turned pale.

"Let me see if there is a way to help you with that. I'll let you know tonorrow." I said after an hour on patrol.

When I returned to my dorm, I called Sirius up.
"Padfoot, come in Padfoot."

"Lily!" He yelped.

"Shh! Sarah, can Draco Malfoy stay over this summer with Harry and me?" I asked.

"Your dating Malfoy?!" Sirius sputtered.

I rolled my eyes. "Yes, his father wants him to join Voldemort and I know he doesn't want to. I have this friend who is a Seer and she said he needs someone like me. A friend in the light side." I explained.

"Ok, on one condition, no hexes ever. If so, he's back to the Manor." Sirius growled.

I smiled. "Your the best!"
