Chapter 7

Saffron POV

I heard a soft knock on my door "Who is it?" I said with a sigh.

"It's just Mum, can I come in sweetie?" Mum said softly. I walked over to my door and opened it with my red and puffy eyes. Mum brought me straight into a hug. That made me break down again, I can't imagine how horrific I look with my make up all down my face. I cried for when my Dad would find out. I cried because we have to be careful what we say, you know related to Death-eaters and all.

Dad would never speak to me again if he found out about today but Mum understands me more than I do myself. I suppose it's a mother thing. Dad doesn't care about his children only his duties and Mum, i kinda saddens me that he isn't proud of us or hugs us when we come home from school.

I went over to my new school stuff and accessories and got my cauldron cakes and stuffed one in my mouth.

"Well dinner will be ready in an hour or so, you're friends.....are staying for the night. Due to all of their parents doing confidential business, what even I'm not allowed to attend." announces my Mum, oops forgot she was here. I shoved another cauldron cake in my mouth loving the sweet goodness that has blessed my souls since I was a child.

With that my Mum walked gracefully out of my room and silently closing my door. You see my Mum likes to cook but Dad expects the elves to do that, so Mum only cooks when Dads out of the house. Oh, that's why all of my 'friends' are at my house.

I sat on my bed and sighed, could this day get any worse?

-----------

"Everyone dinner!" i heard my loud but gentle voice that belongs to my mother. I sighed, well her's goes nothing.

I quickly checked myself in my mirror, to tidy myself up abit.

Shit, I do look a mess.

I quickly cast a spell to my make my hair into a messy bun, whilst i was wiped off my make-up what was now all down my face from crying earlier. Lastly I changed into some black yoga pants and a white wooly jumper before going downstairs.

When i arrived in the dining area everybody was already eating and chatting along. There was a spare seat for i'm guessing me next to Zabini and Millicent, thank god. I sat down and felt a heated stare on me I looked at everybody until i locked eyes with the one and only Derrick. Since he was sat next to Zabini he had a perfect clear view of what i was wearing, great.

Is It me or do boys like girls in tight bottoms and loose/big tops? because Derrick is now shamefully checking my out with a smirk on his face and then guess what.

He licked his lips gave me a wink and turned before he turned back to eating.

What.The.Hell.Like.Fuck.Off.You.Perv.

I have to admit It made me hot and fuzzy whilst he had his eyes one me but before i could fantasize anymore Zabini sat a glass and bowl infront of me and said "Eat" giving me a pointed look before turning back to his dinner. I felt everyone looking at me besides my Mum who was having small talk with one of the elves.

I looked at all the delicious food infront of me but couldn't find a appetite in my sytem. So i just poured myself a glass of water and got a small bowl of soup.

I felt someone look at me.

I looked up and straight ahead of me was Pansy my best friend, she gave me a smile with a worried look before returning to her pork chop. I wonder If she knows about today probably not because the boys want me to have atleast one friend i suppose.

Mum being the best Mum there is left us on our own, kill me now. I took a sip of water not touching my soup, hey I just ate them cakes and I need to watch my figure it takes time to tone it up.

I stood up "Where you going?" said Pansy.

"Not hungry" I replied quickly and bluntly.

"Well you have to eat" said Pansy in a worried voice.

"uhh... I'll get the elves to bring me something up later?" i said questioning myself.

"Promies?" said Pansy.

"Yeah" i replied.

I felt tears forming in my eyes, okay i'm out of here. I can't let anybody see me look weak and pathetic. It's sad becuse a couple of hours ago I was the one calling people names now I'm calling myelf the same names.

With that I walked out feeling all of their concerned but heated stares on my retreating figure.

If Pansy does know about today shes not going to speak to me at school, sure I'll have to sit with them at school otherwise people will notice something is wrong with me. I have a reputation to keep up as well for my Dads sake maybe i could pretend I have a really bad cough so I have to stay off school, nah Madam Promfrey will know I'm faking it.

Maybe I could start fresh.

Maybe I could move to beauxbaton, Mum wouldn't allow me being such along way from home also I'm amazingly shit at speaking French a well so no. Durmstrang would be good but they take Quidditch more seriously than school work itself on the plus side they take Defence Against Dark Arts seriously which is good considering Lord Voldemort will rise soon. Dad wouldn't allow me because the Headmaster is a Death-Eater that has given conidental information away to the Ministry of Magic. So thats a no go.

Cedric Diggory is good-looking maybe I'll get on him, plus I'll be keeping up my reputation by messing aroung with him. I've heard he has a lush body with abs of steel but then I think he has a eye on Cho Chang, I don't see what boys see In her. Yeah she has a good figure but her face dissappoints some people, her hair doesn't suit her with the box fringe either.

Great, now I'm overthinking and judging girls I don't really know that well god I'm such a bitch.

I hear tapping on my window I look to see Moon, my owl holding a letter and newspaper in her beak. I take it from her giving  a owl treat before ripping open the letter. It was from Dad, thats a first.

Dear Saffron,

Please show this to you're Mother once you have finished reading the newspaper and this letter. Sirius Black Is known to be a murderer and a Death-Eater both of this information is wrong. He was/still is on the Ministry's side. He might want revenge on us, so please stay in Hogwarts at all times, yes you can go to Hogsmead but stay close to teachers at all times. He did not murder Peter Pettigrew, In fact Peter Pettigrew is still very much alive and searching for the Dark Lord right this second.

With Love

Father.

P.S- Keep up you're reputation in school, but don't do anything you will regret.

Wow, he cares.

I read the newspaper article it's about that Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban. No one escapes from Azkaban it's impossible.

I run downstairs and give the letter and newspaper to Mum, once she had read through it nodding here and there. She looked at me "Stay by the rules, but keep up you're reputation like he says and at normal." How am I meant to act normal when Sirius Black could be waiting for us and be very seriously angry, and kill us. (pun-intended)
