Chapter 4:

Draco Pov

This is the best year ever! Bella's back! But lately, she's been acting a little distant lately. I think that we should hang out more. Wait, we do enough of that! So maybe, I should find out more about what she likes by calling her best friend. The one that she hung out with in Washington. Good thing I stole her phone, I could use that! Before she had left the room, I had snuck it out of her pocket. It's all for a good cause after all. I took her smart phone out of my pocket and scrolled through her contacts. I got a few questionable stairs from the people around me, but I didn't care. There were a bunch o people in there, but thank Merlin their all grouped. I went straight to the friends group and called the first person that popped up. His name is Jacob. Putting the phone up to my ear, I listened to the long ring. After two of them, he finally picked up.

"Hey Bella." Was what he said. Oh, now this is awkward. "Ugh, actually, it's Draco."

"Who?" Had to think, he was smart. "Draco, Bella's brother. I stole her phone so I could ask her friends some questions." Silence. Hmm, this is getting weird. Maybe I'm taking it all wrong.

"Bella never mentioned a brother. But I'm pretty sure you might be telling the truth. So… what kind of questions do you have for me?" Hmm… "Well, Bella's been acting a little distant these last days. I figured that if I could talk to some of her friends I could help her. She's a little glum lately. Not like depressed, more like in shock." He was silent for a long time. "Hello." I asked.

"Is Bella there? Maybe I can find out-" But I could no longer hear him. The phone was smacked out of my hand, and I watched in horror as it was smacked out of my hand, and across the floor. It was a Slytherin six year, Brett Riddle. Some people think he's the Dark Lord's heir, but I don't think so. But I'm a tiny bit scared. He slammed his hands down on the table and growled. "Where's your sister?" He growled angrily, and I shrugged.

"I don't know." Was all I said. But the truth was, I knew where she was. In her bedroom, sleeping. But that was normal for her. "Are you angry?" I asked as bravely as I could. "No." He grunted, and at that point the answer came to me. If I wanted to get the answer I wanted, I'd need to talk to Brett. She hadn't started acting weird until a week ago. The exact day she met him.

"Brett? Can I ask you a question about Bella? And be honest." I warned him, as he sat down across from me. He nodded. "Shoot." He yawned, and slumped down in his chair. "Okay, Bella's been acting really weird lately. All she does lately is camp out in her dorm and sleep." His eyes flashed with worry. "Is… Is she acting a little moody?" He asked in a sort of high pitch voice. I nodded.

"The other day, she yelled at me for stepping on a flower." All the color drained from his face.

"Okay, she's going to hate me for telling this but… I might have gotten her pregnant." He sputtered awkwardly. Time froze. "What. The. Fuck!" Was all that came out of my mouth. Anger bubbled up inside me; my vision was suddenly blurred by red. "Hey kid, calm down. It's not a big deal." He said with a smirk.

"It's not a big deal?! You knocked up my sister!" I'll kill you!" I screamed… I mean yelled across the table. Gasps rang out across the whole Great Hall.

"Shh." He tried to shush me, but I shook my head no. "Don't tell me to shut up you perv!" I got up and reached for my wand. Picking it up, I contemplated hitting him with a crucio. But decided against it, because Father would probably take care of Brett himself, judging by the furious look on his face. Well, Maybe Bella won't get in too much trouble.

Yeah, and maybe the Dark Lord will actually kill Harry Potter this year.
