Forgotten Malfoy// Cedric

Chapter 28

Tonight was my last night here and I was packing my Hogwarts things into my trunk. In the room where everything was stored I found an old camera, Sirius played with it a bit until it worked. "You should take this, snap lots of photos of the World Cup." I thanked him holding it up. "You all packed?" I nodded looking at my things in the corner. "Well come down one last fun night."

Remus sat in the chair reading a book. "That doesn't look fun." I said to him pulling it out of his hands. He sighed sitting up. "We should play some games." Sirius suggested. I agreed sitting down on the floor. We played some card games they used to, it took me a while to learn them but eventually I did. "Does my face still look bad?" I asked them. "What do you mean?" Remus asked. "Can you tell?" Sirius shook his head, "it doesn't matter, does it Remus? It shows how strong you were." I rolled my eyes, "I don't want them to feel bad for me. I just want it to be normal." Remus smiled, "it will be you're friends are more caring then you think." Sirius agreed, "should we watch one last muggle movie." I nodded, "is there a way to cast an invisibility charm on a photo." They both nodded, "why?" I held up the camera, "I don't want to forget what you look like." Sirius laughed, and held the camera up. They put their arms around me smiling for the picture. When it developed you could see us smiling and laughing getting ready for the photo. Sirius casted a charm onto it, and handed it to me. "Only you will be able to see me in it." I smiled down at the photo, the cuts and bruises on my face were noticeable but how happy I looked was more noticeable. After the movie I didn't want to get off the couch, I didn't want to leave this house that made me happy when I thought nothing would.

"Alyssa, you going to bed?" Remus asked. I slowly stood up, Sirius hugged me, and it took me a while to let go. "Goodnight." I sighed stepping back, and Remus did the same, "you'll have fun at school." I sighed, "more fun here." Sirius pushed me forward, "let's go smiley." I walked upstairs into my room, "what are you going to tuck me in?" I asked them. They laughed, "yes." I rolled my eyes going to the bathroom to change. When I got back they were sitting on the chairs beside my bed. I got in, and Sirius pulled the blankets over tucking the blankets in. "I'm not five," I said laughing and untucking everything. "We just wanted to say goodnight." I smiled, "I think you already did." Remus sighed, "there is one more thing I want to tell you, when you're back at school I don't know if you're fathers going to show up or not. But if you ever feel you're in danger use the bracelet please." I nodded, "I will." He narrowed his eyes, "but I don't believe that, you didn't ask me for help until the last second, until you were almost dead." I sighed, "I won't do that again."
