CHAPTER SEVEN

Draco and Carina Malfoy were sitting quietly on the leather sofas in their Common Room. Carina was sipping her blackberry tea as she observed her brother who was gaping at her like a fish with a dumbfound expression. She just finished explaining him about the trapdoor, the Philosopher's Stone as well as how she came across with this knowledge.

"The Philosopher's Stone?" Draco asked slowly and Carina hummed in agreement.

"In Hogwarts?"

Carina sighed "Yes Dray dear, the Philosopher's Stone is in Hogwarts." she replied in a sweet tone a little irritated.

"And Snape wants it?" Draco questioned.

Carina shook her head "That's what the Potter and Co. believe but I don't think so."

Draco stared at her confused "And what do you think then?"

Carina put her cup of the tea in the table "I think that he is protecting it from someone else. Someone who desperately seeks its power."

"And who is that?" he asked in hesitation.

Carina rolled her eyes "Who else than Voldemort?"

Draco gasped and glared at her "Don't say his name!" he spat, then he cleared his throat "Besides You-Know-Who has been demolished or did you forget the whole Boy-Who-Lived thing?"

Carina crossed her arms and watched him with raised eyebrows "They never found a body. " she pointed out.

Draco's eyes widen "What?"

"That night they should have found three dead bodies instead of two if Voldemort-" Draco glared at her once again and Carina scoffed "You-Know-Who was truly defeated. I'm just saying that he is not dead but missing or even hiding waiting to appear once more." she finished.

Draco eyebrows frowned, he seemed not to be convinced and Carina almost growled in frustration "Draco I'm pretty sure that you have noticed father gripping his left arm since last year. That's where the Death Eater Mark is." she said.

Draco shook his head "Yes but the Death Eater disappeared the night You-Know-Who also vanished."

Carina hummed "I think it has began to reappear." 

Draco took a deep breath and glanced worriedly at his sister "Are sure that Snape is protecting the Stone? Wasn't he also a Death Eater."

Carina nodded her head "For some reason I don't think that our godfather has the heart to become once again a Death Eater."

Draco rubbed his hands in his face speaking with a tone of horror "Then dark times are to come. We need to chose our side carefully." he then glanced at his sister "Cara, please, please do not get yourself more involve with the Philosopher's Stone mess."

Carina stood up walking towards her brother and putting her left hand on his shoulder "I promise you brother." and she meant it "Do not fear Dray, whatever happens will go through it together."

Carina stared softly at his grey eyes with a kind expression and then turn her eyes at the window while thinking "I'm not going to let father or anyone else control us. I'll make sure that we'll have our choice... Away from the Death Eater world...".

The Philosopher's Stone was forgotten and the Malfoy twins as well as all the other students were concentrating and preparing for the upcoming exams. Carina was confident that after her tutoring her fellow Slytherins will thrive in these exams especially against Ravenclaw.
