Is It Worth It? Good or Evil?

17

The last month of summer was interesting

I found out uncle Lucius plans to send my father's horcrux diary to Weaslette, so she can open the chamber of secrets

I thought that was a bit much but whatever

Draco mocked me about Severus all month

I did miss him

the week before we got our letter from the school

"If this is a witch who is in love with Lockhart I'm going to throw a fit" Draco wines

"What if it's Lockhart himself" I ask

"Then he loves himself way to much" Draco grumbles

"Uncle Lucius, can we go to Diagon Alley tomorrow? It's when Blaise is going to be there" I ask

he gives me a look but nods

then he leaves

Zeke fly's into me

"Really Zeke, get off" I groan

"Sorry, it's from Blaise" Zeke says

I open the note

Dear Hades and Draco,
You better be there tomorrow! I want to be there when Hades picks out his new snake!
Your mate,
Blade Zabini

"I'll write back" Draco tells me

I wonder what my snake will be like?

boy or girl?

what is their name going to be?

Do they have a name?

"Earth to Hadrian" I hear Draco say

"Sorry, I'm thinking about my new snake" I tell

The next morning I go down to the dining room to see uncle Lucius

"Hello" I say awkwardly

"Hello" he says back equally as awkwardly

GILDORY LOCKHART
COME TO DIAGON ALLEY TODAY

the front of the paper says

"Why does everyone love Lockhart; he's probably cheating other people. There is no way he did all those things" I scoff

"I agree! if you want to be great you have to not boast so loudly, but then they think you're evil with second intention's"

I chuckle "There is no good or evil. There is only power and those to weak to seek it"

he looks at me "Your father says that too"

I smile "really?'

he exhales through his nose "Your father is a great powerful man, but his heart is in the wrong place. I think you could be a better leader"

I lean my head sideways "You do?"

he smiles "You love your family, and that is what makes you great. You even love those Potters, and no you don't hide it well"
