chapter thirty nine

The next day, Dumbledore called everyone to the Great Hall to talk about what happened at the third tournament. I place my head on Adrian's shoulder as I listen to Dumbledore speak. "Cedric Diggory died by none other than You-Know-Who, during the tournament" Dumbledore says.

Some people were gasping quietly while they cried. I looked over at the Hufflepuff table, as majority of them were crying. Bella was crying, badly. She had to leave the Great Hall from how loud her sobs were. "Blaise.. go help your sister.." I whisper across the table.

He looks at me for a few seconds before he stands up and rushes out of the Great Hall. I sigh as Adrian plants a soft kiss on my cheek. Dumbledore continues to speak about the tournament, till he sent us all off to pack, as we were leaving tomorrow.

I enter the Hogwarts Express train, when I follow Alexa and Pansy to the compartment we were going to sit in. I take a seat once we enter, when Adrian sits next to me. "So I'm guessing I'll see you in the holidays, won't I?" I ask Adrian, when I realised he stayed quiet. I looked up at him, when I realised he was looking out at the girls who were walking past our compartment, "Adrian?" I ask before he looks at me. "Sorry, yeah.. definitely.." He says before he kisses my forehead. I give a small smile before I look away.

Everyone enters the compartment, till the train begins to move. "I can't believe he's gone.." Bella whispers next to me. I give her a small smile before I hug her tightly. "I can't believe he's back.." Alexa says.

I didn't know what to say, so I stayed quiet as I looked at Alexa, before I looked at Draco. He shakes his head slowly before I look away, "Lets not talk about that for now.." I say. She nods before we all move on to multiple topics. We spoke for a while, till we returned back to the platform.

I sigh as I stand out of my seat, when I grab my luggage. I walk out of the compartment with Adrian behind me, till I stepped out of the train. I hugged Alexa, Bella and Pansy goodbye, till I walked over to Adrian. "Hey, are you alright? You were sort of quiet on the way here.." I say.

He nods slowly, "Yeah, I'm alright.. it's just a lot to take in about a student dying and him returning and all.." He says. I nod before I hug him tightly. I press my head on his chest for a while, till he pulled away, "My mother is waiting for me Mila.." He mumbles.

I nod again, till he gives me a soft kiss. "Bye Mila.." He says.

"Bye" I say back as he walks away. I stand by myself for a few minutes till I hear Draco, "All alone Blackwood? Again?" He asks.

I roll my eyes, "Oh fuck off Malfoy.. I'm waiting for my mother.. Shouldn't you be at the Manor by now?" I ask.

He looks down at his feet, "She's running late.." He mumbles.

I nod, "Looks like my mother is also running late, what a coincidence"

He rolls his eyes, "What does that got to do with the Dark Lord?" He asks.

"Did I say anything about the Dark Lord? No, I don't think I did.." I say.

He scoffs, "Right.." We stay in silence for a while, till I see my mother, although she was with Narcissa Malfoy. "Oh, my darlings!" My mother shrieks.

I sigh as she pulls me into a tight hug, "Hi mother.." I mumble.

"I've missed you so much darling!" She turns to look at Draco, "Oh my! Draco! You've gotten much taller since I last saw you!" She says as she hugs him. I chuckle a little as Narcissa hugs me, "Hello darling, sorry we were late.. we were dealing with your fathers meetings.." She says.

I pull away slowly, "Is it about the Dark-"

I didn't even have to finish my sentence as they were both nodding already. I look over at Draco, when I realised he began to fiddle with his rings a little as he looked at his mother. "Come on, we have to go back to the manor" My mother says.

"What?" I mumble.

She nods, "Your father is busy over there, we have to go.." She says. I sigh as I follow Narcissa and my mother, as Draco and I walk behind them.

I enter Malfoy Manor, as it still looked the same. It was still a dull and black, with a lot of open space. I look when I see Lucius and my father sitting down, talking to each other. My father meets eyes with me, "Mila.." He mutters.

I force myself a small smile, "Hello father.." I mumble. He gives a small nod before he looks at my mother. "Draco, where's that Parkinson girl?" Lucius asks.

I turn my head to look at Draco, "Uhh.. I decided to end things with her father.." He says. Lucius gives him a small glare before he looks at my father and continues to speak to him.

"Uhh.. Draco? Why don't you take Mila to your room?" Narcissa asks. Draco sighs before he walks towards the stairs. He stops on one step as he turns around, "You coming Blackwood?" He asks.

I roll my eyes as I walk towards him, as we walk up the stairs together. I've never really been upstairs of Malfoy manor, as their gatherings were always downstairs. I walk with Draco in silence till we reach his room. He takes out his keys, as he fiddles with them, till he finds his bedroom key. He unlocks the door before he opens the door up.

I walk in first, as he walks behind me. He had a pretty large bedroom, and surprisingly, it was neat and tidy. He had a king sized bed with a large desk. He has a walk-in wardrobe and a pretty big bathroom, including a balcony. "I never expected Draco Malfoy's room to be actually clean" I say as I take a seat on his sofa near his bed.

He chuckles a little, "We're all full of surprises, aren't we?" He says. He places his luggage in the side of the room, before he looked at me. "What?" I ask.

He shrugs his shoulders as he looks at the ground. I sigh, "What do you think they're talking about?" I ask.

"Probably who's going to turn into a deatheater first or something" He mutters.

I scoff, "I wouldn't worry about it" I say.

"You should Blackwood, I heard some of the stories about him before I was even born.. he's a horrible person Blackwood"

"Well you never know, things might be different now"

"Things are going to be much different now.." He says.
