Chapter four:

 

“Okay, so it’s been three days since you came back with him, and we gave you space, but… come on, fess up! What happened?” Elizabeth brushed her hair long and to her side as she moved over to the side of Pansy’s bed. The girl patted the spot between her legs as Elizabeth turned and settled between her friends knees. Pansy continued to brush her hair as Daphne looked up from the nail polish she was working on.

 

“Something’s wrong, At first I thought he was just sick, but I honestly think something is wrong with his head. He keeps...I dunno.” Elizabeth broke off as she pulled her knees to her chest and leaned into the comfy hands of Pansy.

 

“I’ve noticed it too, he’s slipping into something dark.” Pansy whispered. “He nearly killed Potter on the train. That’s what’s going around.”

 

Elizabeth ripped around and looked to Pansy who flicked her on the nose. “Don’t move like that!” Elizabeth rubbed her face as she turned back and looked to Daphne who nodded to Elizabeth.

 

The strawberry blond put the nailpolish brush into it’s well as she blew lightly on the paint to dry. “It’s true, I heard it from a few carts away. Draco stayed behind on the train to ‘check something out’ then he froze someone, when I realized it was potter was when he said have a good ride back to london. I would have stepped in if it was anyone but Potter.”

 

Elizabeth looked to her lap with a frown. “He didn’t tell me that.”

 

“Bet you, he didn’t even tell you his father was thrown in Azkaban because of ties to You-know-who.” Elizabeth’s eyes grew large as she looked up. Daphne nodded as she pulled out her wand and turned on a drying spell. “Stupid Ministry, ruined Draco’s heart and soul, that did. He still looks just as upset as his mother when I saw them at the station.

 

“Why am I just now finding this out?” Elizabeth moaned. “I’m a horrible friend.”

 

“Well, if you have hung out with us, you would have known.” Pansy teased as she finished the braid and leaned down, a soft kiss to the top of Elizabeth’s head. “It’s not like it wasn’t in the newspaper, or anything.”  Elizabeth shuffled to her feet and took her brush. As she walked to her bed, she put her brush away and clambered into her bed.

 

“I don’t read the paper, I don’t even take it in the morning.” Elizabeth lied.

 

“I don’t blame you, all lies and slander.” Daphne huffed. “Complete and total-”

 

“Daph!” Elizabeth shot Daphne a look as the strawberry rolled her eyes and flipped back in her bed. “But you are right, that paper is full of things that are never fully researched, mostly pure gossip. It’s rubbish.”

 

Pansy shrugged as she turned and flopped back into her own bed. With a raise of their wands, a blow of their lips against the tips of their wands, the lights went out and the three were left in the darkness.
