8. ADRONITIS

Frustration with how long it takes to get to know someone. 

It was quarter to Nine when Draco apparated in the alley behind the Borgin and Berks. He waited for Blaise in the dark alley. He was wearing his death eater robes but instead of his mask he covered his face with hood. Moments later he heard a whoosh at the entrance of alley and saw a hooded figure had just appeared. Draco thought it was Blaise but waited to make sure before revealing his presence. The hooded man removed his hood slightly from his face and looked around. Draco caught glimpse of his face, it was indeed Blaise.

'Over here' Draco spoke still not coming out from the dark alley.

Blaise turned around and went to greet him. After that both men disapperated.

Draco blinked few times to clear his vision, it was dark. He couldn't make out where he was exactly, his grip around his wand tightened. Blaise muttered a spell and fire began burning up in fireplace, finally revealing the surroundings. Draco was standing in  middle of what appeared to be a living area. It was rather small, with sofa and an arm chair placed in front of fireplace. The house was filled with a pungent smell seemed to be coming from counter to his left, which he thought must be kitchen. The rest of the house was in complete dark covered with heavy dark curtains which prevented any kind of light from outside. Draco noticed that there were two doors on his right. 

'You live alone?' Draco asked pointing towards two closed doors.

'Ahh no.'

Draco waited for him to tell him more but when he didn't, Draco let the matter slide.

Blaise went to the kitchen and came back with two firewhisky in his hands, he handed one to Draco and pointed to sofa. Draco sat down and took a sip. He wanted to know about the whole envelope thing right away but sat patiently waiting for Blaise to start. After few moments Blaise broke the silence.

'What did your mother tell you about the envelope?'

'She told me enough.'

'I see.' Blaise nodded, probably understanding his mother hadn't told him anything. 'well, I don't know much about the envelope either, I just delivered it to her.'

'And who gave it to you in the first place?'

Blaise took a moment as he let out a deep sigh 'well you probably not going to believe it and I'm not sure whether to tell you this or not, but I just have to trust you on this, don't I?' Blaise fixed him with a confused look.

'My mother is involved in this, so yeah, you can trust me, I am never going to betray her.'

Blaise took another sip from his firewhisky staring into the fire, perhaps still contemplating on whether to go on or not but Draco was losing his last ounces of patience.

'Andromeda gave me the envelope to give it to Narcissa.' Blaise said, not looking at Draco.

Draco blinked few times, trying to register the words and wondering if he had really heard what he heard.

'Excuse me?'

Blaise took another deep breath and spoke, this time looking at Draco.

'Andromeda Tonks gave me the envelope to give it to your mother.'

Draco was completely shocked with this information. At first he thought it was some shitty joke from his old time pal but when he saw the serious expressions on Blaise's face he was sure what he was hearing was the truth.

'I Don't understand. Why Andromeda is even in contact with my mother and you? She is the member of order.'

'Well, I can't say for your mother, because I was shocked just as you when Dromeda gave me the envelope to deliver it to Narcissa. I asked her but she refused to say anything. I don't even know how they even came in contact.' Draco was amazed at the nickname he used for Andromeda. Wondering what made him call her with such close proximity.
