The Life of a Teenage Death Eater (A Draco Malfoy FanFiction)

Chapter 15: Followed

We had spent three days in the tent and were still adjusting to living this way. It was early in the morning and I had just woke up. Draco was already eating breakfast when I got out of bed.

"Finally you're awake, I was getting tired of waiting, " he said.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed a piece of bread off his plate.

"Hey, that's mine!" he said.

"Serves you right, " I said just before taking a bite.

He walked around the table and stood an inch away from me. I placed the bread back onto the table and wrapped my arms around his neck.

He leaned closer and lightly pressed his lips against mine. I allowed him to wrap his arm around my waist and pull me the slightest bit closer to his body. I brushed my fingers through his silky hair before we stopped kissing. His forehead was against mine and we just stared into each other's eyes.

Suddenly I heard something outside and backed away.

"What was that?" I asked, feeling a bit alarmed.

"Probably just an animal, " Draco said trying to pull me back over to him. 

I hit his hands out of the way and said, "I'm serious Draco, I heard someone."

I walked towards the entrance of the tent and froze when I got outside. 

"Rachel come ba-" Draco started to say before I covered his mouth with my hand. He turned to see exactly what I was looking at.

On the other side of the magical barriers Draco had put up was my parents.

"I am telling you she is somewhere around here, " my mother said while looking around.

"Let's just keep looking we can always come back, " my father replied.

I watched as they turned around and walked the other way. 

"How did they find us?" I asked.

"I have no clue, but we have to move locations, " Draco responded while walking back into the tent.

He began to pack up all of our things and I started to help. It was annoying that we had just gotten here and now had to move again but I knew it was for the best. 

I didn't understand how my parents could have found us so easily. If they were looking for us does that mean other people were too?

Over the next three weeks, we had traveled to seven other locations. After my parents almost found us we made sure not to stay anywhere for longer than three days. 

Every week we would go out into the village to get food and other supplies we may need. Sometimes we went together and other times separately.

Before we left the tent I always made sure to cast the spell on each of our arms so there was no chance in anyone seeing our tattoos.

"Are you ready to leave Draco?" I asked.

"Yeah let's hurry up though, we just need to get a bit more food, " he replied.

I grabbed a coat from my bag and put it on. It was now October so the weather was getting a bit chillier.

We left the tent and walked over to the small village. The buildings were close together and had a thin layer of snow covering the roof. We entered the bakery and walked up to the counter.

"Can we have two loaves, please? " I asked the lady who worked there.

She turned around holding a fresh loaf of bread she just pulled out of the oven. She placed the pan onto the counter then pulled off her oven mitts.
