Chapter 27

(A/N: Wassup peoples ~ I'm gonna try adding more of Draco's PoVs... but not yet. Comment any PoVs you'd like me to do! Also, new PoV... Star!)

(Star's PoV)

The day before going back to Hogwarts, I heard my parents bickering while heading into the dining room.

"Lucius, we can't do this to them! They're only children!" Mother said loudly.

"Narcissa, we have to. The Dark Lord wants Star, Draco, and Katherine to join his army," Father said calmly.

"Star's only just gotten back! She was gone for eight years!"

"And what does that change? Yes, those eight years were long, but the Dark Lord will kill us all if we don't do this!"

"But they're only children!"

"They're old enough to realize the responsibility of becoming a Death Eater."

"No, Lucius, please, convince the Dark Lord to forgive our family! Star and Draco, they're innocent! They're too young to be joining his army! They're too young to commit such acts!"

"Mother? Father?" Draco asked, sneaking up behind me.

"Oh, dear, Draco, Star! Please, dinner is ready, hurry and sit," Mother said hurriedly.

We ate dinner in cold silence. I shivered as a chill went down my back. The Manor was cold.

"So, do tell me, how much did you hear?" Mother asked, after a long while.

"Just enough to know that you don't want us two to join the Death Eaters," Draco answered.

And we went back to silence.

Afterwards, I followed Draco into his bedroom.

"Listen, I need to talk to you," I said, pushing his door closed behind me.

"What do you need?" he replied, sitting on a chair.

"Do they really want us to join the Dark Lord?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I don't know."

"When will -"

"Next summer, before school starts."

"Ok...."

And with that, I left.

We arrived at platform 9 3/4. I hugged Mother and nodded at Father.

"We will not see you until next holiday. You will not be coming home for Easter holidays. We will be too busy to write," Father said.

'How tragic,' I thought sarcastically.

"Mother, will I be able to spend the summer holiday at my friend's Manor?" I asked hopefully, trying to weasel out of the situation.

"Are they pureblood?"

"Yes."

"What is their last name?"

"Weasger," I thought, thinking about the Weasleys and the Grangers.

"I've never heard of them."

"They aren't very famous."

"Alright, but you must be back before holiday is over."

"Thank you, Mother," I said, hopping onto the train.

I put my luggage under the seat and sat down, waiting for Draco and Bryson.
