*** Draco's pov

"Draco, you have to carry out my deed. If you don't, you, your mother and Freyja will be affected gravely. It will have severe consequences", Lucius whispers weakly.
"Father, why?", I beg.
"I made an unbreakable vow. You have to", he becomes weaker by the second.
"No!", my mother cries.
His eyes go blank, and he stops breathing.
"Lucius! No! Don't leave!", she falls to the floor with tears flooding out of her eyes.
"Fuck you Lucius", I mutter whilst exiting his bedroom.

He left me with this big burden. The promise, no, curse flows through my veins.

I hurry back to my bedroom, locking the door behind me.
My hands shake furiously, my face twitches.

My throat closes. I can't.
Tears prickle down my cheeks.
What will Frejya think? She'll think that I am a monster.
That's my biggest fear, loosing her. She thinks my biggest fear is snakes, but it isn't.

*** Freyja's pov

Someone knocks on my door.
Pansy opens the door, holding croissants and jam.

"I thought you would like this", she smiles.
"Wait, Pansy Parkinson is being nice to you?", Ambar frowns.
"Yes, we have gotten over our rivalry", I smile reassuringly.
"Here", Pansy sets down the plate on my bed and sits down next to me.

"I am going to meet Lilith, have fun", Ambar exits the dorm, looking a little strange.
"What's her deal", Pansy asks after the door closes.
"She is very protective of me. Don't worry, I will handle it", I take a croissant, and put some jam on it.

I thank her, and eat three croissants. She eats a few too, only when I was finished with mine.

"So, you fancied me. When?", I break the silence.
"In second and third year. I didn't know how to act around you, so I chose to be mean. I knew I would be disowned be my parents if they found out, so I pretended to fancy Malfoy", she finishes her croissant.
"But now you fancy Nott?"
"Yes, I do", she takes my hand.
"I am not supposed to be telling you this, but me and Theo are together. We're a couple", she smiles with so much joy in her eyes.
"I am really happy for you!", I give her a tight hug.

We keep talking about Nott and Draco, school, the holiday and other random things.

The clock on my wall ticks.
"It's late, I should get going", she stands up.
"Ok, she you tomorrow then", I walk her to the door.

"Bye Freyja!", she exits.
"Bye Pansy!", I respond.

I am all alone, again.
I walk to my desk, finding a piece of parchment and a quill.

Dear Draco,

Are you returning to Hogwarts soon? I have to talk to you. Hope you are fine. Say hello to your mother for me. Tell her I miss her. I miss you too. Please come back. I know it's hard, but I can help. I can help you.

Yours sincerely,
Frey

I just really wish he would come back. I can't stand being at school without him.
