Leah Riddle: Riddle me This (Book 2)

Chapter 9

"Get up, now!" snapped someone. I rolled over and hit something solid.

 "Ouch," that something complained. I opened my eyes and saw I hit Alex.

 "Stop complaining," I muttered and snuggled deeper into the blankets. I was drifting back to sleep when it was interrupted again.

 "I said get up!" the same person yelled and I looked up grumpily to see Draco in a tee shirt and boxers, looking disgruntled and impatient.

 "What?" I asked impatiently.

 "Your dad wants the both of you," he glared.

 "Five more minutes," I whined, but the sudden warmth of Alex and the blanket was taken away from me. I shot up in bed and saw Draco pulled the covers back and threw Alex to the floor. He grabbed my arm and pulled me off of bed and out of the room.

 "Hey, let go of me!" I protested, shivering against the cold. It's summer, why the hell is it this cold?

 "That was not cool!" Alex shouted, trying to follow, but Draco was moving pretty quickly.

 "Draco Malfoy let go of me right now!" I yelled, and as we passed a closed door I heard Bellatrix yell at us.

 "Shut up before I hex you!" she threatened angrily. I stayed silent until we went down the next flight of stairs and the struggled against Draco.

 "If you think this is a way to get me back your wrong!" I hissed and he glared.

 "Don't be so full of yourself," he hissed back.

 "I will hex you," I glared and Alex was finally next to me.

 "Malfoy, let go of her," he said. Draco only tightened his grip and pushed me into the living room angrily. I smacked into the back of the couch and spun around angrily.

 "Happy?" he sneered at me.

 "What is your damage?" I snarled, starting to walk after him, but Alex grabbed my wrist.

 "Hey, calm down," he said and I spun around angrily, pulling my wrist out of his grip.

 "What, what do you want?" I asked with burning red eyes as I looked at my father.

 "Rude awakening?" he asked calmly.

 "Very!" I snapped.  

 "Huh, well be sure to actually wake up next time. I need you to go back to the Weasley's," he said.

 "What? No!" I protested.

 "Leah, calm the hell down!" Alex snapped and I glared at him, but felt my cold demeanor falter. I sighed and softened my gaze, to which he smiled.

 "Thank you," he said and I turned around calmly.

 "I'd rather not," I said.

 "You must, but don't worry, we're going to fake an attack. Draco will come, along with Alex and Bellatrix, and a few other Death Eaters, to the Weasley's house, or wherever the hide out is. Severus is going to tell us...right...now," he said, just as Severus apparated into the room.

 "Number Twelve Grimmauld place in London," he said and I nodded to him.

 "Hello Severus," I said brightly.

 "Ms. Riddle," he smirked.

 "Okay, if I must go back, then I want to go look presentable... I've got some hearts to win before school starts anyway," I shrugged.
