Hey Guys! It's Clara here! Thanks to all who read and review, it means a lot to us. You are welcome to ask questions in the reviews, about us and our lives. I hope you enjoy! And finally thanks to Lizzy who *cough cough* critiqued out writing. Au revoir!
Draco picked up his books when the bell rang, and left for the Slytherin Common room. He was in the middle of what Hogwarts called an '8th year' for those who were in the seventh year during the Wizarding War. Draco hadn't wanted to come, but his mother made him.
He turned a corridor and found a stray book on the ground. He picked it up and saw two names embossed on its brown leather cover. Clara Clavier, and Ashley Ashton. He knew Ashley, she was a second year in Slytherin. He thought for a moment about how terrible her time at Hogwarts had been, with her only in her second year and witnessing the war in her first. He had heard rumors that she had done a lot of fighting but never worked up the courage to ask her, for fear she would stop talking to him.
He opened the diary to the first page, where in large font it said,
'Absolutely positively no snooping allowed!'
Draco smirked as he turned to the next page. It was an entry made about a year ago, from a Junior's Triwizard Tournament that had been held at Beauxbatons. It was from my (Clara's) point of view, and how I had made a new friend from Hogwarts named Ashley. Draco understood who we were now, and flipped through the pages a bit faster.
As he slowly walked back to the common room, still reading the diary, he came about a part with Potter's name in it. He read it intently, as it encompassed a theory of how James and Lily Potter could be alive, and the dreams both the girls had been having about it.
Shocked, Draco sucked in, quickly closed the journal, and proceeded forward, much quicker and paler than normal. He contemplated what to do with the journal, and had settled on burning it, but then he thought of what could happen if Ashley ever found out that he had taken it. He shivered at the mere thought. He decided to give it back to Ashley, she was the closest thing he had to a sister and a sibling. She was one of the only people who would dare be friends with him, Draco Malfoy, former Death Eater, and fated killer of Albus Dumbledore.
