Chapter 1:The New Year A/N:This chapter's named after the song: The New Year By Death Cab for Cutie. This takes place during the summer after the 6th Year. Disclaimer: I own nothing
Draco Malfoy was lying backwards on his bed staring up at the ceiling.
He had been in the same position for a long wanting to get up and begin his day. Draco hadn't slept very well the night before. He had gotten up brushed his teeth and washed his face and brushed his hair hoping that would help him wake up. But he had somehow ended up staring at a ceiling dreading the day that lay before him. He was about to try to fall asleep when there was a knock on his door.
'Come in' Draco said not taking his eyes off the ceiling.
'Good morning master Draco!' A short house elf with big brown eyes and giant ears had walked in the room .She spoke in a high pitched squeaky voice She smiled brightly as she walked over to Draco carrying a large silver tray. The tray seemed to carry every single type of breakfast there was; a stack of Waffles with syrup, a plate of Chocolate Frog pancakes, a side of Hash browns, perfectly cooked French toast and a large cup of imported Bulgarian coffee.
He finally took his eyes off the ceiling sat up and turned towards the house elf. 'Thanks Evey'. Draco said in a quiet voice as he addressed his House elf .He took the tray. He usually just drank a large Coffee and ate some Pancakes every morning. He looked at Evey in a questioning kind of way as he began to drink the Coffee.
'Mistress Malfoy said today was an important day for you and that she had some errands to do she told me to prepare a special breakfast for you before she left.' Evey said as she drew the curtains and opened the window.
'She left? Did she at least say where she was going or when she'll be back?'Draco said in an agitated tone. Thanks to the coffee he was fully awake now. His mother had been acting stranger and stranger since his father's imprisonment in Azkaban; she'd been leaving and not coming back for days at a time. He was surprised she remembered what today was. He had now gotten up and was now looking out of the window. While Evey hummed cheerfully as she made his bed.
'No Master Draco, she didn't say where or when, she never does. You should start eating before your food gets cold.'Evey said kindly as she walked towards the door.
Evey left, just as three Owls flew through the window. Draco petted and greeted his Owl who carried a copy of The Daily Prophet. After Draco fed his Owl the other two Owls flew swiftly away. He began to look through the newspaper. It still focused on Dumbledore's death. He signed and put it down knowing it would contain more speculation and lies about what had happened that night. He opened the first letter.
To, Draco Malfoy, From: Rodolphus
I was told to inform you that we have decided to change the time of the meeting from 9 pm to 6pm on the 13th .It will still be at the same meeting place discussed. Be warned that lateness will not be tolerated. Dress and behave appropriately.
After he looked at the time. He decided to read his last letter next.
Dear Draco, I hope your summer has been well. I know you must be nervous about today. I am writing to tell you that I would like to catch up, before school starts and this may be the only opportunity I have. Please meet me at Honeydukes Sweetshop around 2:30pm. P.S: I will not be in my normal appearance so look for the man wearing a Red hat.
There was no name at the bottom of the letter. But Draco knew who it was from. After getting over his initial surprise from the letters he quickly sent a reply to the anonymous letter and hurried to change. He put on Sunglasses, Black jeans a Grey V- Neck T-Shirt a Black leather jacket and grabbed his wand .Evey saw him before he left she said good bye,before she went to rejoin the other House elves. Draco then appaterated.
A/N: This is the first chapter of my first story so... please review! It's mostly following the books but I'm sort of planning to change a major story event that happened in the HBP.
