Malfoy Neighbors

Back Home-Year 5 Chapter 14

A few days went by, and you waited in the Room of Requirement for the D.A. meeting to start. There wasn't many people there yet, but Potter was there with a few people. You over heard him talking to Angelina Johnson, the Gryffindor's Quidditch team captain.

"We've replaced you." Johnson said, sounding disappointed.

"Replaced me?" Potter asked, perplexed.

"You and Fred and George. We've got another Seeker!" She replied.

"Who?" Potter asked quickly.

"Ginny Weasley." Johnson said. Ginny was on the Quidditch team? She was your friend, though you didn't get much time to talk to each other because of the year gap. Andrew Kirke and Jake Sloper, two people you didn't know, were now the new beaters for the Gryffindor team. You were headed over to find out why Potter and the Weasley twins weren't on the team anymore when Ginny walked in.

"Oh, hi Ginny." You said, as she walked over to your group. "I just heard, you're the new Seeker for your house Quidditch team?"

"Yeah!" She said excitedly.

"How come Potter's not Seeker anymore?" You asked her.

"Because of the fight last match, Harry, Fred and George all got band from Quidditch." Ginny told you how Umbridge thought they were just too violent.

"What? That's not right. It was Draco's fault, he started it." You said, before Potter started the lesson. You did a lot of review because of the Christmas brake right around the corner. Once the meeting was over, you said Happy Christmas to everyone and headed out.

Before you knew it, time had flown by. It was time to head back to the Malfoy Manner. You told Sam to take the crystal ball home with her and she packed it with her stuff. The next morning, you, along with many other students, climbed onto the Hogwarts Express. Sam and you were sitting with Sebastian.

"You know, I got to thinking last night about that crystal ball you gave me to use. How come, no one else seems to have one? It would make things way easier. We wouldn't have to wait so long for a reply from the owl post if everyone had one." Sam pointed out. How come you didn't think of that? She was right. Draco said he got it from Diagon Alley, but you've never seen one there. So where did he get it? You talked to your friends for a little bit before you went for a walk.

"I don't care, Perkinson!" You heard Draco's voice. "Get it through your thick head! I don't want you fallowing me around." You opened a caparment door to reveal Draco and Perkinson. Draco saw you, and stepped out, slamming the door in Perkinsons face.

"What was that all about?" You asked him as the two of you walk away from Perkinson.

"She acks like a lost puppy." He shook his head and sighed.

"Anyways," you said, changing the subject. "I was wondering, were did you say you got the crystal ball that you got me?"

"Diagon Alley." He answered calmly.

"No, you did." You said, clearly that you knew better. "Draco? Did you make them?" Draco's eyes widened, then he pulled you into an empty caparment.

"Yes, I did. I spelled regular crystal balls to work together. It wasn't easy either." Draco explained how he worked on them all of third year. He hid the project in his dorm room and made Crabbe and Goyle sware they wouldn't tell a soul about them.

"That's so sweet." You said, as Draco rambled on. You watched him as he spoke; you could hear him speak, but you weren't listening. You wanted to hug him.

"Are you ok?" Draco asked, noticing you staring at him. You smiled and nodded. "Are you sure?"

"I want to hug you, to kiss you. But..." You admitted.

"But you can't. I know what you mean." Draco said and took your hand. He stepped closer. "I love you, (y/n)." Draco whispered, before walking out of the room.

Once the train arrived at Kings Cross Station, you said goodbye to Sam and Sebastian. You were giving each of them a hug, when Lucius Malfoy showed up beside you.

"Is this the mudblood?" He asked you. You flipped your head around and gave him a look that should have killed him where he stood. You were already livid with Draco's dad for letting him (Voldemort) control him. It was his fault you and Draco were no longer together, and for Lucius to go along with it, made you angry.

"She's not going to answer your question, father, until you call Sam a 'muggle-born'." Draco said, your eyes planted firmly on Lucius while Sam was still in a half hug. Lucius didn't say a word, instead, he walked off.

"It's ok, (y/n). It doesn't bother me anymore." Sam said coolly. You said bye again and reluctantly fallowed after the Malfoys. On the walk to the ministry vehicle, you didn't speak a word. You got into the back seat with Draco.

"(Y/n)?" Draco whispered, as his parents spoke to each other. You ignored him and watched out your window. "We'll be home soon." You looked down as Draco moved his hand onto of yours. You looked at Draco. You wanted to let him stay there, but he pulled away. You returned to watching the world outside your window, still not speaking.

It was a short time later that you arrived at the manner. You were back in the familiar room that was next to Draco's. (N/n), who had come back with you, had climbed onto the bed and was now bouncing around it like a small puppy. He sure was happy to be back. It was nice to be back at the manner. You had to admit that, but you wished you and Draco were still together. You heard a knock on your door and it opened.

"How are you settling in?" Draco asked, walking in. You shrugged your shoulders as he sat down on the end of the bed. (N/n) climbed onto his lap.

"Before you know it, well be back at school." Draco tryed to comfort you. You sat down beside him and petted your pet niffler.

"I miss you, Draco." You said softly and layed your head on his shoulder.

"I know you do." Draco whispered and wrapped and arm around your shoulder, pulling you into him.
