Chapter Twenty-Six

Chapter Twenty-Six: Caught.

" Where you off to, Granger, Weasley? " Y/n smirked, leaning against the wall as Hermione walked past her in hurry with Ron. " Not now! " She groaned.

That made Y/n smirk wider. " Rule breaking? You know, I thought Gryffindorks, especially you, were more of a goodie-two-shoes type. Guess not. " She crossed her arms, giving Hermione another smirk.

" Which direction are you running in though? I'm pretty sure Umbridge caught Potter now. I heard Draco's voice... " She trailed off, peeking by the corner.

" You know what? I hate that hag equally, so I'll let you go. " Hermione looked shocked while Ron seemed like he's seen a ghost but they took the chance and ran before anyone could spot them again.

Harry Potter had been caught again. Last time, Dumbledore had saved him and disappeared but this time, Umbridge really did catch him and his little group.

Y/n thought it was funny how they managed not to get caught earlier and were saved merely by the neck. With Umbridge having her eyes everywhere, and now Headmaster of the school, she hadn't expected them to pull it this far.

Through the mass breakout from Azkaban, Y/n found it hard to believe that Ministry wasn't trusting Dumbledore on this. It was childish according to her. They needed a better Minister and Ministry system.

She made her way towards her Common Room, not giving two shits about this squad anymore.

She pulled off the stupid pin and dropped it to the ground, crushing it under her heels as she passed over it, smirking.

After another half an hour later, Draco came in, looking paler than ever and sick. " What's wrong? " She shot up, helping him to sit on the couch.

" Those weasles!! Gave us to something to eat-"

" Puking Pasties! " Y/n gasped, Draco frowning. " The new joke shop products of Weasley Twins. How thick can you get? Wait here. I'll get you something from Pomfrey. "

Y/n ran all the way to Pomfrey and asked for a potion before running back to the blonde. " Here. Drink this. "

Crabbe and Goyle came in too, complaing and moaning in pain. Creating another vial with Geminio Curse, Y/n handed them the potion too.

" They escaped. Umbridge left but didn't come back! " Y/n laughed, " Hope a herd of centaurs dragged her away! "

" That's exactly what happened! I heard Potter and others talking about it. " Elle laughed, entering the Common Room.

The group burst out laughing.

" All packed? "

Y/n hummed. " Well, I'll have to see if father let's me stay at yours for some
time. " Y/n says, sitting beside Elle.

" I don't think so, " Draco smirked, " I'll be over. You're not going anywhere. " Elle groaned.

" But you always have her, Malfoy. Just one summer. " Elle groaned and everyone chuckled.

When everyone had climbed the train after the breakfast and settled in,
" Look at this!? " Crabbe choked on his candies and stared at the newspaper in horror. Y/n frowned. " What is it? "

She grabbed the newspaper and set it in middle. " Death Eaters caught invading the Ministry. The Dark Lord Returns. Harry Potter, proven right. "

Y/n and Draco looked at each other, terrified. Y/n read further into the passage, learning that her father and Lucius Malfoy are in Azkaban.

" List of Death Eaters caught:

Lucius Malfoy

Darius Clair

Mcnair....

" Oh, boy! " Y/n leaned back, sharing a look of horror with everyone. " We're done for. "

" You don't think he'll come for us, do you? "

Theo asked, worried. Y/n shook her head violently. " I hope not. Mother always kept us away from this stuff! "

Draco found Y/n's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Both of them didn't know what to do now.

The whole train ride, Y/n slept, or what she showed while she worried internally. When they reached, she instantly got off, finding her mother in the crowd with Narcissa.

" Mother! " Y/n made her way, pulling her mother in a hug. She looked devastated, it clenched Y/n's heart at the sight. " I'm sorry, sweetheart! " She sobbed in Y/n's shoulder.

Y/n hugged Narcissa too. " It'll be okay. " She whispered, pulling away. " Let's go before the reporters come back. "

With their trunks and pets, they apparsted back to Clair Manor. Along with Narcissa and Draco this time.
" Dolly, bring tea. "

The elf welcomed them and disappeared. Y/n sat there, comforting her mother while Draco did the same to Narcissa. " We'll need to leave early. Bella is home, she won't leave us
alone. "

Y/n looked over at Draco, worried. He nodded at her, reasurring he'll be fine. After finishing the tea in a tensed silence, Draco and Narcissa stood up.

Y/n rushed forward and hugged Draco tight. " Just call me if anything
happens. " She pushed a small box in his pocket. Draco frowned but nodded, kissing her temple.

" Bye. "

" Goodbye. "

With that, Narcissa ans Draco disappeared in a crack. Y/n sighed and looked over at her mother, who was crumbling down.

" Mother, I'm sorry. "

" No, honey. It wasn't your fault. " Aria sniffled, wiping away her tears. " I should be sorry. I've done horrible as a mother. I couldn't stop him.. "

Y/n didn't understand what her mother was talking about, but decided she'll talk about it later when she calms down. Sighing, she led her mother to her room and forcefully, lulled her to sleep.

" Dolly, take my trunk upstairs please. " When she reached her room, she took out a pair of pj's and took a relaxing shower. She wanted nothing but to sleep and wake up, hoping it was all a dream.

--

Three weeks later.

--

" Mistress Y/n. There are people
outside. " Y/n frowned and peeked down by the railing. She saw a bunch of reporters, and her mother, Aria, trying to tell them to leave.

She ran downstairs, her wand tucked in her back pocket. " What's going on? " Shs grabbed her mother's shoulders, looking at the blinding lights.

" Mother, have a seat here. " She helped her mother sit, who was on the verge of tears. The reporters were thepwing questions over questions, which Y/n didn't find necessary to answer.

" Dolly, get them out. "

With a snap, the reporters disappeared and reached back outside the castle.
" Lock the doors! " Dolly did as said. Y/n sighed and sat by her mother, who broke down again.

" Honey, we need to talk. "

End

Cliffhanger!! Haha!!
