Laura had just woken up from her nap. It was about 2:30. She looked around the bedroom she shared with her brother. After deciding there was nothing to do, she went down stairs. Laura walked through the kitchen, where her mother was telling Dobby what to make for dinner. Narcissa was wearing dress robes. Laura walked through the hall and passed the dining room, where the table was set for seven. She entered the playroom, where Draco was playing. Draco looked sorta upset. "What's the matter, Draco?" asked Laura.
"We gotta go to bed early tonight, and Dad won't tell me why." He replied.
"I think they're having people over for dinner. I wonder who's coming."
"Probably just some of their friends, my friend's parents." Replied Draco. They wondered about their parents' plans for a while then got bored. Draco, having nothing else to do, taught Laura how to play exploding snap. He beat her five games in a row.
Then it was dinner time. Their parents didn't eat, Laura was right, they would have dinner with their friends later. After that, Laura and Draco were made to go to bed at 7:15 p.m.. Lucius locked their bedroom door, but he did not magically lock it. He didn't think Draco could unlock it with his wandless magic.
He was wrong.
Laura sat down on her bed. She watched as Draco sat down on the carpet, ear pressed against the floor. He listened to his parents talking for a while. "Anyone here yet?" asked Laura.
"No . . . wait. Someone just knocked on the front door. Crabbe's parents are here, so are Goyle's." Narrated the young boy. After a while he got bored of listening. Draco stood up, he walked over to the door and tried to open it, locked. He tried again, using his wandless magic, focusing on how much he wanted the door to open. He pushed gently on the door. It swung open.
"Where ya going, Draco?"
"Hallway"
"Why?"
"Spying on the grown-ups"
"Me too!"said Laura, getting out of bed.
"No! Stay here, Laura."
"I'll tell mom about you throwing dung bombs at that little muggle boy at the playground last week."
"Promise to be quiet?"
She nodded. He grabbed her hand, then led her out of the room, making sure they closed the door behind them, so that anyone who walked by didn't see that they had left.
