Love & Redemption - Draco Malfoy

Chapter Nineteen - Year 6

  "Sophia, wake up!" Hermione exclaimed, shaking me awake. It didn't take long for me to open my eyes and know exactly why she was waking me up, I always was a light sleeper. Yawning I nodded my head, telling her I would be out soon. I blindly reached over to the bedside table, turning my lamp on and getting up, putting on some clothes.

  "Sophia darling, don't forget your coat, it's quite chilly." Mrs. Weasley reminded me before I walked out the door.

  "Thanks Molly," I replied, Mrs. Weasley didn't like me calling her 'Mrs. Weasley' so I tried my best to remember not to, sometimes I would slip but ever since I stayed at the Burrow this summer (things with my parents were still... complicated) I've gotten better.

  "Hurry on now everyone!" Mr. Weasley chimed. "We don't want to be late for the big opening!"

  "Coming!" I heard Ginny yell from upstairs and then the loud stomps of her feat against the stairs were heard as I walked out. I walked out the door where Ron, Arthur, and Hermione already were. I was pleasantly surprised when I was also met with Harry talking with Hermione and Ron.

  "Harry!" I smiled running up to my newly arriving friends.

  "Sophia, how are you?" he asked hugging me, I knew what he meant, he wanted to know how my head was doing from last year's events.

  "Great actually!"

  "Okay everyone let's go, shall we?"

  "This is mad!" I exclaimed as we walked in. As soon as we walked into the shop, we were bombarded by many flying objects and loud sounds. I could already feel the headache coming, but ignored it.

  "Hello Sophia!" The sinked voice of the twins came up from behind me, causing me to jump with a yelp.

  "You guys scared me half to death!" I chuckled spinning around towards them. "So you finally did it, huh? Weasley's Wizard Wheezes," I smiled, this was their dream for years and now here we are. They both gave me proud smiles making me laugh.

  "Too bad you're going back to school soon, you could probably help out around here," Fred sighed walking along side me while I looked for Hermione.

  "There's always summer break! I would love to help you guys," I beamed. Ever since my first year I have grown to love the twins and their jokes. When my second year came around and they told me their dream of this shop, I was all for it. I always knew they'd get here, some day, some how, I just knew.

  "That would be lovely Sophia!" George chimed picking me up and spinning me around before letting me down. Then they were both off to help some kids downstairs.

  I felt my head soar making me have to take hold of the railing. Closing my eyes I tried my best to clear my head from the dizziness.

  "Are you alright?" An unfamiliar voice asked behind me. I slowly turned around to see a dark brown haired, tall boy that I recognized from Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, he was in 7th year.

  "Oh yes, just got a bit dizzy for a moment," I assured standing up straight and letting go of the railing no matter how much my head protested. "I'm Sophia, Sophia Walker."

  "I know," he admitted with a smile, I could feel the warmth slowly coming to my cheeks. "I'm Troy, Troy Williams."

  "Well Troy Williams, it was nice to meet you, but I have to go find my friends."

  "Of course, it was nice meeting you as well!" Troy smiled before I turned around and searched for Ron, Hermione, and Harry.

  "He looked cute," Hermione whispered to me as we walked outside the shop after I managed to find them. I looked at her with a confused expression.
