Slytherin bride (ON HOLD... will continue soon:) )

Can't I just be happy?

My moment of happiness had to be interrupted. Why should Mia get to enjoy life?

''Miss DuPont I need to speak with you'' Snape greeted me and Draco as soon as we exited my bedroom.

''Um, yeah, sure'' I replied confused stepping back into my room. Draco was about to leave but then Snape spoke again.

''You can stay if you wish Mr Malfoy.''

Draco turned around to face me and I nodded, telling him it's okay if he stays. I had no clue what this conversation will be about, but since Draco can stay, maybe it's something about both of us. This couldn't be because I got drunk right? The last thing I need now is detention. I sat back on the bed casually, Draco next to me, while Snape stood in front of us with an emotionless face.

''Miss DuPont, your parents were found dead this morning in the centre of London. I am sorry.''

''What?'' I asked shocked of what I heard.

''Snape what are you saying?'' Draco was also shocked, ''are you sure?'' 

''Yes, unfortunately, we are sure. It happened as they were...doing some business.''

All three of us went silent after this. Draco put his hands around me, holding me in a hug, while Snape just started at me carefully, like he was expecting something. Why did they think I was gonna do? Cry? Scream? I love my parents, and a few tears will probably be cried out because of them, but we weren't that close so that I would make a big scene now. I know that sounds horrible, but my relationship with them wasn't good, half of the time I hated them, the other half we ignored each other. This day just seems to be getting better right? First I find out I have an arranged marriage, then I realize I might have feeling to the guy I thought I hate, and now my parents are dead. But let's be honest, I knew who my parents were, even though they thought I didn't knew. Something like this could have happen any day, I prepared myself for it. I never said it out loud, I pretended to be clueless, but I knew my parents better they they thought.

''Who killed them?'' I asked after a few minutes of silence, still in Draco's arms.

''That is to be found out yet. There were no witnesses so...''

''I don't mean who, as in which person. Which side killed them?''

''I don't understand your question Miss DuPont. As I said, it is still unknown...''

''Fine. Don't tell me, just don't make a fool of me. I know my parents were death eaters, I know Draco's parents are too, and I know you know everything about that, sir, 'cause just a few minutes ago, Draco here didn't call you sir, or professor, he called you Snape. So I believe you two must be close, and by that you know quite a bit about this whole situation. So don't treat me like an idiot, 'cause I'm much smarter than you think.''

Both Draco and Snape now stared at me in silence, and then Snape turned around, opened the door to leave, but stopped for s short second. ''They were killed by aurors'' he finally said and left. Well, at least I don't have to be worried that I'll be killed as well.

''Are you okay?''

''Yeah... I mean, I'm sad, they were my parents, but I can't say it was completely unexpected...''

''How did you know?'' Draco asked carefully, as I pulled up to look at him.

''I figured it out. For one, as far as I can remember, my parents never had a real job, and yet they were always busy with something, going somewhere for days...and they always had loads of money, even though, like I said, they didn't work. And now they decided for us to move to London, out of nowhere, right now when you-know-who has returned and he's rising up again. And then your house, where we 'had to' stay, and how both out parents were so secretive... It just fits, that's all.''
