broken heart

"how did i get here?"
-

I was on the train to Hogwarts. I still haven't seen Abigail and Camille but that was common when we split up during the summer. I'll just see them when I get off the train.

I was sitting in a booth with the Golden Trio. I sat right next to Harry while Ron and Hermione sat across from us. We were talking about what we had just seen at Borgin and Burkes.

"So what was Draco doing with that weird-looking cabinet and who were all those people?" Ron asked.

"Don't you see? It was a ceremony, an initiation." Harry said. I immediately looked at him with confusion. "You're mad. You think that someone like Draco Malfoy could be a Death Eater? I mean yes his aunt and Father may be one but, honestly? It just doesn't make any sense." I said. Harry sighed. He was surrounded by Death Eaters and his father was one, I highly doubt his mother Narcissa would let that happen. And I happen to really like the woman.

"It's happened. He's one of them." Harry said. If he would just think this thing through. "If you say so, Harry." I said sarcastically. He glanced at me.

"Well, then what was he doing in Borgin and Burkes? Just browsing for furniture?" Harry said. If this was true I needed to find out for myself. If I rendered myself invisible I could sneak into the train car he was in and eavesdrop on his conversation with his buddies. Maybe that would put this whole accusation to rest.

"It's a creepy shop. He's a creepy bloke." Ron said.

"Look, his father is a Death Eater. It only makes sense... Besides, Violet, you saw it with your own eyes." Harry said. I rolled my eyes before standing up.

"I'm going to go see if Cammy and Abby are on the train." I lied. I got out of the booth and walked down the train car. I went past a group of girls before looking inside of another train car. I was careful not to be seen. I pulled out my wand slowly. I saw Draco put away his luggage. He didn't look suspicious but I still need to find out if he was actually a Death Eater.

I pointed my wand to the inside of the train car.

"Blackedio." I whispered. The end of my wand shoots out black mist immediately and everyone screams out in fear.

"Invisque." I whispered. My entire body went invisible and I climbed into the luggage area which was on the ceiling and it was very cramped. The mist cleared and I saw Draco standing to his feet in a paranoid fashion.

"What was that?" He asked. I could hear his voice tremble.

"Relax, boys. It's probably just the first-years messing around." Pansy said. "Come on, Draco. Sit down. We'll be at Hogwarts soon." Draco hesitantly sits back down into his seat straightening his all back suit.

"Hogwarts. What a pathetic excuse for a school. I think I'd pitch myself off the Astronomy Tower if I thought I had to continue for another two years." Draco spat out. Why did he hate Hogwarts? Yes, it was now an extremely dangerous place to go to now that Voldemort was running about, but it was home to many.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Pansy asked.

"Let's just say I don't think you'll see me wasting my time in charms class next year." Draco said. I hope that didn't mean what I think it meant.

God why was this storage space so uncomfortable? I moved around a bit since I was literally sitting on Draco's bag. I looked back down at what they were doing. I suddenly saw Coraline running into the train car and jumping on the table they were sitting at. She meowed at Draco. My eyes widened. She sat in-front of Draco and meowed again.

"Whose cat is that?" Pansy asked, curiously.

"Probably one of the first years, some people just don't know when to put their pets in cages." Blaise spat. Coraline turned her head and hissed at him. Good girl. I grinned a bit.
