Changes (A Draco Malfoy Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

I open my eyes widely as cold sweat runs through my body.I was tied in my white sheets probably because of the countless times I was turning around all night. It's just another nightmare, I thought. The same nightmare again, Cedric's death the way Harry has described it to us. Cedric and I were very close friends since my early years. After Ron, Harry and Hermione it was him. Last year we started seeing each other as something more than friends, we caught feelings for each other but we confessed them only right before he entered that bloody maze. He had promised me that when all was over we would be together. I will never forget how gentle his kiss was and every time I think of it I feel hurt for the amount of time that was lost until that day.

I lookoutside the old, dirty window of 12 Grimmauland Place and I can see the  sun had risen once more. What an awful place for someone to spend his summer holidays but since my grandfather with who I was living with after my parents death two years ago, is a member of the Order I I have no choice. I turn my head around and as I see Ginny and Hermione are still sleeping. I decide that I should try and to same but the moment I shut my eyes Mrs Weasley screams up at us ''GET UP CHILDREN YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE TRAIN, DO YOU" I gasp in annoyance because that means that there's no more sleep for me. Next to me Ginny and Hermione are now awake as well, thanks to Mrs Weasley's hysterical screams. ''Goodmorning girls'' I say to them wearing my warmest smile. ''Morning Nicole'' they both say at the same time with a yawn.I jump out of my bed and grab my golden watch, a present from my mother and I see that I have one hour or so to get ready. I can't believe that I'm finally returning back to Hogwarts. The fact that I will be able to use my wand again after all these weeks that we've been apart, gives me a sense of security and excitement takes over my body only by the thought that in a few hours my Firebolt won't be just lying in the corner of my room. I quickly make my bed and place the last things in my trunk. '' I'm quite nervous about this year'' I say and break the silence while wearing my black high-wasted jeans and a maroon top showing just a little bit of skin in my belly area. Ginny just nods in agreement and gives us an ironic smile. ''I'm actually pretty curious of what we will face this year now...now that You-Know-Who is back...'' Hermione replies nervously and after a few minutes she leaves the room, heading to the dining room. Making a quick flashback, all I see is that I never had the quiet, simple life I thought I would have at Hogwarts. A new adventure would begin for the four of us every year. At year one it was the Pilosopher's Stone, next year the Chamber of secretes scandal, then there was Sirius and last year the Triwizard Tournament.

After ten minutes of chatting Ginny and I get downstairs to have breakfast. My stomach growls by the smell of waffles, fried bread and eggs. ''Goodmorning everybody'' I yell cheerfully and take a seat between Fred and Harry. ''Ready for your last year uh Fred? Going to make it unforgettable to everyone I suppose'' I say to him with a mischievous look on my face. ''You will help us won't you miss Sprinks uh?'' Fred relpies to me playfully and I burst into laughter. ''This year will give us the opportunity to take a close look on what the consumer prefers. We never really wanted an academic career. Thanks to you and Harry the Joke Shop will be opened by the end of the next summer'' George enters the conversation and smiles up at me. About two moths ago I gave the twins two thousand galleons to help them achieve their dream and considering their financial status that wouldn't be easy. Harry also endowed them the one thousand galleons he gained from the Tournament and these actions of ours will remain secret, only the four of us know about it. Mrs and Mr Weasley would never forgive us for giving them so much money. "What do you think about the Quiddich team, now that Wood has graduated?'' Harry asked me while eating a slice of bread. ''Well,it's a great lose but I think that the team is good enough and we'll find a good keeper'' I replied sceptically. ''I've missed flying so much you know'' I continued and Harry noded in agreement. I am a chaser at Gryffindor's Quiddich team since year two. My father used to teach me how to fly and I still have my first, tiny broomstick which I got at the age of 5.

Soon enough everyone finished their breakfast and and I went upstairs to get my trunk, we would be leaving in about 10 minutes. ''Let me help you with that'' Fred said while lifting my trunk with a very familiar spell to me and I thanked him. ''Nicole my dear, your grandfather left before you have woken up so he pleaded me to pass you his wises for a happy school year and demands you to stay away from trouble for at least once and I think Icouldn't agree more with him DID YOU LISTEN TO ME YOU FOUR'' Mrs Weasley said pointing at her children. ''Why is he missing? Ordrer's job?'' I questioned her ''
THAT'S NON OF YOUR BUISSNESS LADY AND FOR GOD'S  SAKE THAT TRAIN WON'T WAIT FOR YOU''. In a few minutes we all were ready to leave. Mr Weasley the last one to leave the house,closed the door behind us and the noble house of Black vanished in front of our eyes. We arrived at the Kings Cross about twenty minutes later and runned straight to the wall between platforms nine and ten with Hogwarts Express ready to leave and the smell of the fume coming from the train made me feel safer than ever.I saw children giving a last hug to their parents and rushing inside the train. I gave my last hug to Tonks and chucked Sirius' head who was the cutest dog I've ever seen. ''Be careful and study well'' mygodfather, Alastor Moody advised me. ''I'll be fine don't worry about me. There's no place safer than Hogwarts. It's you that you should worry about'' I replied to him and waved at everyone for the last time. Harry, Ron, Hemione, Ginny, Fred, George and I rushed into thetrain and I felt the same excitement as always.Finally back home,back to Hogwarts.
