Slug club Christmas

Merope POV

It had been months after Sirius's funeral, Fred was no longer in school but we still had a very healthy relationship. It was currently christmas time and I was getting ready to go to Slughorns Christmas party, Blaise and I went together because it was an easy way to avoid Draco who kept asking about the Slug club. Blaise wore a clean black suit, while I wore a tight grey dress, Slughorn seemed to be interested in how nice and sharp we looked. Me and Blaise spent most of the night laughing at Cormac when Hermione ran up to us.

"Merope! Hide me!" She asked frantic, I laughed as she grabbed Blaise and pushed him toward Cormac not thinking.

Blaise pulled an upset face but I ignored, talking to Hermione.

"Why did you bring him? Because of Ron and Lav-"

"Don't say her name!" Hermione said cutting me off.

"I just thought he'd be jealous." She continued,

"He is. Lavender's just the first girl to give him attention. Weird, kinda gross attention but she gives it, and a lot." I mentioned, Hermione went quiet before running away as Cormac approached me with Blaise.

"Seen Hermione?" He asked looking around,

"No, ask Harry." I said pulling Blaise back who was still slightly annoyed,

"Oh is Blaise still mad?" I teased nudging his shoulder pulling a smile out of when a happy Filch came in holding Draco by the ear.

"Professor Slughorn!" He tapped happily, Mrs Norris meowing at his feet while Draco attempted to kick her.

"I discovered this boy lurking in an upstairs corridor. He claims to have been invited to your party, and to have been delayed in setting out. Did you issue him with an invitation?"

"All right I wasn't invited! I was going to gate crash! Happy!?" Malfoy snickered pulling himself from Filch's grip and rubbing his ear.

"Not a problem Draco, you may stay." Slughorn said kindly,

Filch had a disappointed look on his face while Draco smiled and thanked Slughorn for his kindness.

Blaise gave me a confused look but was cut off from talking when Snape took Draco out, Blaise told you to follow so I did. The sound of my heels being watered by the music and conversation. Not knowing Harry wasn't too far behind under his invisibility cloak. I finally found the classroom where Draco and Snape had been arguing.

"I don't need protection!" Draco hissed,

"I made the unbreakable vowel to Narcissa, Rodolphus as the witness. There to protect you." Snape said quietly as if he was aware I stood listening. For a moment I thought I saw something move near the keyhole, but there was nothing there.

"I'm sure Rodolphus loves you being a key part in Lady Bellatrix's plans!" Draco scoffed,

"Rodolphus is not important, what's important is that you don't care yourself caught, that you-"

"I don't need your help! And if you've forgotten! She chose me! Lady Bellatrix chose me!" Draco cut him off. I knew exactly what that meant, Draco was now a death eater, I knew that something bad was going on if Rodolphus was there to witness the unbreakable vowel.

One thing I always knew about Rodolphus was that he never trusted Snape, Bellatrix had always trusted Snape, enough to let him in on any plan. Rodolphus always had suspicions of Snape, always. Which caused some problems I'm assuming.

"You want to steal my glory!" Draco growled,

Suddenly Snape spoke so quietly I had to push the entire left side of my face on the door.

"Your acting like a child. I understand that the capture and imprisonment of your father has proven stress-"

I heard Draco walked towards the door, I stepped back and he flung opened the door. To his surprise he saw me, his skin was grayish, he looked ill. Face looked tight, weight had obviously dropped. He was skinny, too skinny I thought.

"Merope!" He said staring at you confused, his eyes shocked and scared.

"So it's true then!? Your with her! Bellatrix!?" I snapped pushing him against the wall and pulling up his sleeve revealing the dark mark.

"Miss Riddle, this has nothing to do with you," Snape said standing by the door.

"I'm his family I have every right to know! Oh but of course Bellatrix would choose you, her darling nephew. A fuck up for a son!" I spat in Draco's face, he said nothing but let a tear drop.

"Look at you!" I spat again

"Your killing yourself! Your skinny, grey, weak! You can't do this to yourself!"

"Your just jealous!" Draco yelled but Snape told us both to shut up.

"I'm not jealous, I'm scared for you. Bellatrix has got you doing something bad, I know it."

"What do you want me to do, turn my back on her? She's family, and speaks truth!"

I stayed quiet and let go of my grip, he fixed the collar of his shirt, and Snape shut the door behind him, I took a deep breath.

"Ok, fine. I can't change your mind, your too deep in this. But please, I beg of you, keep safe. We might not be on the best of terms but your still family. Just, give Narcissa my love and, don't get yourself killed, please." I said finally uncrincling my dress,

He nodded, trying to be cold. I nodded back and turned to walk away before Draco grabbed my arm. I turned back around and he began to cry grabbing onto me, I embraced my crying cousin, he was vulnerable. It made me remember he's just a boy and still only sixteen. No words were said but I stayed hugging him, soon he let go and Snape took him to his office, I then headed back to tell Blaise what happened before heading to bed.

The next day was quidditch, I got myself ready before Tyler came in, I love that little man, he was my brother, even if was he was adopted, he still was. He was a ladies man I suppose but was extremely shy around the one person he liked the most, a Hufflepuff girl named Vienna

"Hey rope, I need advice," he said quietly,

"If this is about Vienna, yes she likes chocolate" I said after he had asked me that like three hundred times

"Yeah I know, but like. Your popular, you've talked to her. What does she like?" Tyler whispered to me.

"Are you dumb? She's been giving you signs all year, she literally smiled at you, studied with you, took you to Hogsmead. Just ask her out already," I laughed patting his head,

Before he could reply I stuck my tongue out at him and ran off with my broom. The day was warm, even though it was raining. Draco was no longer playing seeker, I was the best beater in the school apparently. Fred and George used to be best but they left.

Urquhart was the captain of my team, I hated his guts after he got mad at me for not dating him and dating Fred instead. The game was fast, I felt as if I was the only one pulling my weight until Harper caught the snitch. We had won, and even though Harry looked disappointed and Ginny pulled a face at me, I was happy. Even more happy to know that Ginny or Harry didn't resent me.

From then on we didn't really see Draco, he was obsessed with his 'glory' however that all changed one night. When I found myself next to Bill Weasley in the corridor face to face with Rodolphus and Fernir Grayback.
