Twisted Truth

Chapter 4

The fingers on Draco's lap curled in irritation this was not how he saw this trial going. He thought he would testify send his father to Azkaban and maybe run from a couple death eaters for a while, not this.

The ministry was truly useless; without him his father would've gone about without any kind of retribution. Instead of kissing his feet and worshipping the ground he walked on they decided to punish him, him the one who just saved their asses HIM.

Apparently since the Da- Voldemort was raining terror on the wizarding world (also the muggles but he hadn't reached America yet) people didn't get a chance to finish their seventh year so some people were repeating it and apparently Draco had to be there so they could keep watch over him.

Draco didn't want to go back to the wizarding world, it was old fashioned and extremely racist. Well technically blood-ist but there were people Draco thought he would never see again, for example Harry Potter.

Draco didn't hate him anymore he had grown up and put such childish behavior behind him, but he still wasn't ready to face Harry or anyone in that blasted magical world.

Draco had offered to run away and go into hiding but Suri insisted that the last thing they needed was to hide away from a whole wizarding race. Besides it was just one year they would go in and out and continue with life as it was before.

Draco had agreed but only because Suri promised she would find a way to go with him so they would suffer together. All though knowing Suri would be there was kind of reassuring it just wasn't enough to soothe his anxiety.

It's like someone stumbling upon the person that raped them years ago, sure it happened years ago and the wound has healed a bit but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. Or I guess in Draco's case stumbling upon the person who used to abuse him.

With a sigh Draco stared in disdain at all his magical equipment placed in is all too dull cauldron, he might have to glam it up later. They didn't trust him to go to Dragon alley by himself so they brought all his equipment to him.

So right at his feet sat year seven textbooks, a cauldron, his school robes and everything else he had required except of course his wand. It was much easier for veela's to do wand less magic than it were for normal witches and wizards but then again Draco wouldn't know.

He had restrained from using magic for the past couple years and he wasn't even sure he could do first year spells anymore. It was said Veela's could do wand less magic but Draco was pretty sure he couldn't and he would go to Hogwarts and make a complete fool of himself.

Draco dragged his suitcase behind him as he led Suri to platform 9 ¾ of course it could have been 9 ½ but that was for magical creatures only. Suri however was elated and weirdly enough looked forwards to walking through a wall.

Draco wasn't sure how she even managed to get into Hogwarts but he wasn't going to ask any questions. What Suri did was up to her, god knows out of the two of them she was the boss.

When they finally did walk through the wall Suri had screeched abnormally loud and attracted the attention of the many witches and wizards around and Draco couldn't stop himself from face palming.

Draco had bought three of each male and female Hogwarts uniform and today decided he would wear his female one today. It was well hidden underneath his coat to avoid changing in the train and it seemed Suri had the same idea because they were both sporting brown coats with matching buns and hairclips.

Suri apparently wanted people to think they were twins while Draco pointed out people probably wouldn't think that because of their skin. Draco was probably paler than snow white herself while Suri was as dark as coffee beans and surprisingly standing together really made their skin glow because the contrast was so obvious.

Ignoring the stares from others Draco and Suri boarded the train and proceeded to find an empty compartment. The first one they opened was full of the Slytherins who once used to follow Draco around like puppies and the second was full of the Griffindorks (just because Draco didn't hate them didn't mean he couldn't tease them).

So to put it simply neither compartment was inhabitable, eventually they found a nearly empty one seeing as the only person there was Luna the very strange girl. Draco rather liked Luna so he led Suri into the compartment and shut the door behind them.

"Draco it's been a while; I see your wrucksprouts have finally gone away" Luna calm and soothing voice filled the compartment. With a smile Draco seated himself next to her "It would seem so, I guess I just needed a change of environment".

Suri stood staring at the both of them in total confusion for a few seconds before she finally sat down and introduced herself. Soon all three of them were engaged in a conversation that jumped from one topic to another.

Luna filled them in on some things like how Harry died for a while or how Theodore Nott had led the death eaters to Hogwarts but thanks to Harry's testimony he managed to escape Azkaban. Draco could not really blame him because he knew that if he hadn't left he would've been in Theodores situation right now.

While him and Suri filled Luna in on some muggle things like Tiktok and even went as far as demonstrating to her by doing the WAP dance and the Darling twerk challenge (both of which they were very skilled in) after they had feasted a bit on some candy from the trolley.

Candy which Draco had paid for since he was being left the Malfoy fortune, which was more than he could ever spend in this lifetime. Eventually, Ginny Weasley came around to tell them to change to their uniform (apparently SHE was now the head girl *scoff*).

Draco and Suri sat in silence as she talked to Luna for a few minutes and even after Suri had tried to start a small conversation with her she gave one worded answers before she finally left. Suri and Draco looked at each other for a few seconds before they simultaneously removed their coats and fixed their hair and makeup (mostly Suri just making sure they were still matching).

Once the train came to a stop the three of them walked out with their luggage and went together in the same carriage, closer and closer to the place he once considered home... Hogwarts.

At last I have updated! Ok now I have a lot of excuses but none of them really matter because it all comes down to my inability to be a good author and to that I apologize I'll try my best to make weekly updates a habit again so try not to bash me too much in the comments.

(Oh, and Draco in his school uniform above, keep in mind Suri is wearing the exact same thing)
