"Let's go! We are going to be late!" Lucius hissed from down stairs. I had all of my bags packed for the upcoming days. Tonight we would be going to the Quidditch World Cup. It was between Ireland and Bulgaria. And then the next day I would be preparing to return back to Hogwarts. This summer just consisted of me mentally preparing myself for what was to come. I was going to change my entire being, and this would effect everything. I wore a black jean skirt with a black long sleeve tight shirt. Since I was beginning to change my personality, might as well change my looks to be all dark. I wore a short sleeved black dress that stopped above my knees and a pair of black flats. I did my makeup for the first time. I had eyeliner with a kind of Smokey eye to bring out the green. I walked down stairs to see all the Malfoy's waiting on me. Just like me, they were all wearing black. I looked the part now I needed to act the part.

"Took you long enough." Draco glared rolling his eyes. I turned around and pulled him by his shirt so he was closer to me.

"Some of us actually want to look presentable, Malfoy. I actually have a shot at looking good." I stated looking him up and down in disgust. He actually didn't look bad at all, he wore all black and had his hair swept over to the side. He actually looked really attractive. I turned around to see Lucius smirking at me in satisfaction.

"Let's go." He stated walking out the door with Draco and I following behind him.

We took the Floo Network all the way to Ireland from our Mansion in England. When we arrived thousands of witches and wizards strolled around getting ready for the match. Wizards and witches were covered in different colors of paint while others were intoxicated. They all looked to be having fun, preparing for the game. Tents were set up everywhere, as wizards flew around on broomsticks. The tents were set up for all the wizards sleeping the night after, Lucius said we wouldn't need to for some reason. I wish I could of enjoyed this, but I knew it was for the better if I stayed focus.

"This is madness." I stated in disgust following Lucius closely, scared I was going to lose him in this.

"What do you expect, they're all poor." Draco laughed from besides. I cracked a smile and nodded my head in agreement.

We made our way into the arena. It was magical, the lights were bright and beautiful. Fireworks shot up into the sky from all over. The field was set up like Hogwarts, but better. We were heading to our seats, we had special box seats. We were sitting with the Minister of Magic, Lucius said.

"Blimey, Dad. How far up are we?" The familiar voice of Ronald Weasley asked from below. He was with his entire family along with two people I used to call my friends.

"Well put it this way: if it rains you'll be the first to know." Lucius laughed looking down at them as Draco and I stood on either side of him.

"We are in the ministers box, by personal invitation of Cornelius Fudge, himself." Draco laughed with me smirking besides him. The three of us began to walk away. Lucius turned around hit Draco right in the stomach.

"Don't boast, Draco. There's no need with these people." Lucius hissed. I looked down at the people I called my friends. I didn't say a thing, I wouldn't start being rude till I arrived at Hogwarts. I watched as Harry went to turn away, but Lucius used his cane to grab his hand.

"Do enjoy yourself, won't you? While you can." He smiled with fake fondness. I looked up at Harry as we made eye contact and smirked evilly. Draco wrapped his arm around my shoulder and the three of us walked away leaving the Weasleys along with Harry and Hermione alone.

Once we sat in our sets, I watched as the Irish team flew down from the sky with green and white smoke following behind them. When they flew up higher a firework exploded into a dancing leprechaun. It was really cool, I wanted cheer. But I knew I couldn't since I was in the Ministers Box. I sat next to Draco and watched as the other team flew out. They flew through the dancing leprechaun in a puff of red smoke. I watched as a man did a flip up and down on his broom. The Man suddenly appeared on the giant screen. He wasn't that much older then me or Draco.

"Krum! Krum! Krum!" The audience cheered. I knew by his last name this was Victor Krum. The worlds best seeker. He flew around causing the screen to chase him.

"Good evening!" The minister of magic called out holding his wand up to his throat. He stood a few feet away from Lucius. Probably casted a charm to project his voice.

"As Minister of Magic it gives me great pleasure to welcome each and everyone of you to the finals of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup! Let the match begin!" He cheered removing his wand and pointing it forward as a ball began to fly towards the field. Signally the beginning of the match.


The game went by pretty fast, the Bulgarian's won, obviously. Draco and I had been sharing a snack while Lucius went to go talk to someone. I took a handful of the Every Flavor Beans. We had bought off some guy on the street. We were playing a game, your partner had to guess if you ate a bad or good bean just by looking at your face. I grabbed a bean and threw it in my mouth, immediately the taste of vomit took over. I did everything in my power to remain neutral.

"God, you've gotten good at this." Draco hissed scratching his chin as he squinted his eyes concentrating on my face. I shrugged my shoulders still keeping my mouth shut, I feared I would throw up if I opened it.

"Draco! Isabella! Come here!" Lucius shouted walking quickly towards us. He pulled us up by our arms.

"You two need to go wait outside of the area. I will meet you in a little bit. Something is about to happen, so go now!" Lucius shouted pushing us out of the way.

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"Do not ask question, you don't want the answers to, girl! Now go!" Lucius hissed pointing to outside the boundaries of the tents. Draco and I began to walk away.

"What rubbish. I bet nothing even is going on." I glared kicking a rock in front of me. At the same time, hundreds of screams from people could be heard from behind us.

"Let's go!" Draco screamed running ahead of me. I yelled as well and began to follow him. I turned around to see a ginormous fire building up behind us.

"Run faster, Draco!" I screamed gaining in front of him. Once we were out of danger we hid in a few trees. We were still able to see, I watched in horror as wizards ran for their lives. I put my hand up to my mouth to stifle my cries. Draco wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into him so I wasn't looking at the wreckage. I also knew it was his way of hiding me from his tears. I knew it was my family who did this. I knew I would have to join them some day and commit acts worse then this. But now, I would watch as my fellow wizards died.

After the fire died,  Draco and I still were hiding. Lucius had not come for us yet, either something happened or he was too busy for us at the moment. I was more believing of the second option. I jumped up as I saw a giant green bolt fly into the sky, if then turned into a skull. A snake slithered out of its mouth and around its head. The Death Eater symbol, otherwise known as a Dark Mark.

"I think we should leave." I stated standing up finally gaining the courage to move on my own.

"Are you crazy! Father said he would come for us." Draco hissed.

"Well, I don't see him. He's not coming." I shot back.

"He is coming!" Draco argued. I could tell he was scared.

"Well, I'm leaving and going home. If you wanna come with come , but if you wanna stay, stay. That is all on you, I don't need your fear holding me back." I hissed.

"I would have listened to her, Draco." A female voice laughed from behind us. I spun around to see no other then Narcissa. I sighed and ran up to her.

"Thank you." I sighed embracing her in a hug.
